Discussion on FSN E–Commerce Ventures Limited IPO (Nykaa IPO):

12 Comments

    Fashion business contributes to 25% of GMV of Nykaa as in FY21
    • 90% GMV from beauty business comes from online platform and 90% of online comes from the app
    • Tier 1 accounts for 45%/40% topline and remaining topline is from tier 2 and 3 towns
    • Orders grew 10% QoQ and 200% YoY to 5.9mn units in the quarter
    • Average order value stands at 1800/per order under beauty business
    • Nykaa fashions has an order value of 3190/per order
    • The company runs on a market-based model vs inventory-based model under beauty business
    • Beauty is an inventory-based (buy on spot and hold stock) vs fashion is market-based business model (only run stock when demand arises)
    • Nykaa has had certain exclusive tie-ups with beauty brands i.e. Huda Beauty for a year or so
    • The company has 3000+ influencers in order to create content in line with demand strategy
    • The company has gross margins as combo on own and other brand margins and certain input of the advertisement component
    • The company has 80 physical stores across 40 cities and under online company has over 25,000 brands
    • Company believes in delisting brands/pieces under fashion business on a monthly basis while beauty business sees a very low churn rate
    • On the beauty business side most of the revenues (80%) come in from the mass market products
    • The company has increased the offer by 20% to 630 crores in order to repay high cost debt and to fund expansion of warehouses and physical stores and also spend more on A&P
    • The stores are company owned and have 2 formats which is ‘On Trend’ 800 square feet and ‘Lux’ is around 1150 square feet
    • The life of assets is around 3 to 5 years and capex spend is roughly 4000/square feet to 5000/square feet
    • The company has own brands making up 7.5% YTD of total revenues on a blended average basis
    • Old inventory does not remain a major issue as Nykaa has a brand agreement with suppliers

    Current GMP is Rs. 660……So, good listing gain is expected..

    As on 31.08.2021, they have 82 Physical Stores in India. However, 94% income of Nykaa comes from Online Stores.

    Nykaa has clocked a revenue from operations of ₹2440 Crores in Financial Year 2021 and the contribution to the GMV sales in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities collectively is around 62.6%…

    If you see the Balance-Sheet of Nykaa, you will find it is Inventory led model. Unlike other e-commerce players like Amazon, or Flipkart which only connects buyer and seller and take commission, Nykaa sold only tested products by keeping those inventories in the books.

    This a risky business model as sometimes inventory led models may pose issues in case of change in price of products. However, the segment like Beauty and Personal care which requires good quality products have been quite successful for Nykaa under inventory led model, as they control the quality with that model.

    Today, Nykaa is a first e-commerce company which is profitable and will attract lot of investors.
