Recommendation on Kritika Wires Limited IPO:

Review and Recommendation of Kritika Wires Limited IPO from IZ team is = 4/10 [The valuation looks cheap as compared to its peers. However, the debt ~44 Cr on Equity of ~38 Cr as per FY18 financials is a sign of worry. The Company is having a very high capital working requirement and the two liquidity ratio i.e Current ratio and Quick Ratio not giving a comfortable picture. The Listing gain may happen depending if company receives healthy subscription figure]

    I find DP wires which is already listed and available below issue price much better than this company .also DP wires debt is too low compared to this one. It is avoid for me as already a listed company iin secondary market and which have utilized public money is available at good prices.

    Year Revenue(Cr) PAT(Cr) EBITDA Margins Profit Margins EPS ROE
    FY14 149.11 1.01 5.00% 0.70% 1.66 3.74%
    FY15 183.39 0.429 5.40% 0.20% 0.71 1.53%

    FY17 207.5 2.66 6.50% 1.30% 4.11 7.82%
    FY18 257.89 4.93 7.30% 1.90% 3.81 12.64%
    5 Year CAGR Growth 14.60% 48.64% 25.98% NA 23.08% NA

    The company is labour intensive and working capital requirement is always high in this kind of business and same was mentioned by the company in the RHP. So let us see how the company fairs up in the two most important Liquidity parameter ( Quick ratio and Current ratio). Ideally, Current Ratio >1.5 and Quick ratio >1 is desirable to meet short-term liability.

    Year Current Asset(cr) Current Liability(cr) Inventory Current ratio Current Asset-Inventory Quick ratio
    FY16 97.88 75.96 22.81 1.28 75.07 0.99
    FY17 90.78 72.23 20.81 1.25 69.97 0.97
    FY18 112.13 86.26 27.2 1.3 84.93 0.98

    Conclusion: In the last 3 years the company is not maintaining a healthy liquidity ratio. It is vital that a company have enough cash on hand to meet accounts payable, interest expenses and other bills when they become due.The higher the ratio, the more financially secure a company is in the short term.

    The Location of the two manufacturing units are in West Bengal and the company is a labor intensive and working depend on the availability of labor. We all know that West-Bengal state is always remains a politically and union/association driven. The chances of labor unrest are always high in this state.

The Joint Director of Foreign Trade has held that the company had diverted the imported goods into the local market with consuming the same and also sold the imported goods in convention of the Foreign Trade policy

    (i) Steel Rods used for manufacturing steel wire and Zinc bars used for galvanizing the steel wires are the main raw material used by the company in the manufacturing process.

    (ii) These raw materials are subject to supply disruptions and are very volatile due to price fluctuations resulting from, domestic and foreign trade policies, shifts in supply and demand, competition and other factors beyond company control.

    (iii) Prices of Steel are connected with commodity markets globally and steel index which is quoted in U.S. Dollars.
