Next IPO

Motilal Oswal (MOFSL)

Motilal Oswal (MOFSL) a financial services company focused on wealth creation for all its customers such as institutional and corporate clients, HNI and retail customers, proposes to enter capital markets on August 20, 2007 with an initial public offering (IPO) of 29, 82,710 equity shares of Rs 5 each for cash at a price band between Rs 725 and Rs 825 per share with 100% book building process. The issue will close for subscription on August 23, 2007.

Company Profile

Motilal Oswal is a prominent name in the stock broking community and lately this sector had caught the investor’s fancy due to rich valuations being given by the overseas investors, to financial companies in India.

Since, present income of the company is mainly from broking, which is becoming competitive, the valuation seems a bit stretched. The company has recently ventured into investment banking and venture capital. Post issue, the company would be expanding its margin funding to over Rs 200 crore, which is presently at about Rs 88 crore to about 585 clients.

The company has estimated requirement of Rs 195 crore of which, Rs 110 crore is for margin funding. Balance is for working capital and for office premises. All this is to be entirely financed from the proposed issue.

However, considering the strong brand equity, consistent track record, low equity base and recent diversification in venture capital and investment banking, investment can be contemplated. Knowledge, commitment and accountability of the promoters, would keep prospective investors’ interest in mind.


Objective of the Issue

Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd proposes to infuse funds into MOSL and in MOCB in the form of a subscription for their equity shares, unsecured loans or any combination thereof. Such capital infusion will help strengthen their respective balance sheets and thus enable them to increase trading volumes in the equities and commodities market. MOFSL provides a financing facility to its retail broking customers. MOFSL proposes to enhance this financing facility.


Other Important things

MOFSL is the holding company of Motilal Oswal Securities Limited (MOSL-broking business), Motilal Oswal Commodities Brokers Pvt. Ltd (MOCB-commodity business), Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors Pvt. Ltd (MOIA-investment banking business) and Motilal Oswal Venture Capital Advisors Pvt. Ltd (MOVC-venture capital advisory).

The company is going to raise Rs 216.25 crore in lower end of the price band and Rs 246 crore at higher band.

The issue comprises a net issue to the public of 2,840,400 equity shares of Rs 5 each and a reservation of 142,310 equity shares of Rs 5 each for subscription by eligible employees at the issue price. The issue will constitute 10.50% and the net issue will constitute 10.00% of the post issue paid-up equity capital of the company.

The equity shares are proposed to be listed on the BSE and NSE. Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt Ltd is the book running lead manager and Intime Spectrum Registry is the registrar to the issue.


Valuation

TSL offered the shares at P/E multiple of 19.26x to 20.84x at floor and cap price respectively, as against its peers Sasken Communication Technologies and Subex Azure, which are trading at P/E multiple of about 39x and 101.7x respectively. On the other hand, shares of TSL are available in the range of 7.63 to 8.25 times of net asset value at floor and cap price respectively. Among the other factors, TSL`s niche position in supply chain management and life sciences segment combined with large product bank with low ownership costs are expected to strengthen the position of TSL in future.


Considering the above factors, the issue of TSL seems to be underpriced with a potential to provide short term gains, subject to favorable market conditions.

Motilal Oswal is mainly into broking, investment banking. It has presence in 377 cities with 1200 branches and 1120 franchises. They have huge clients in retail (major in internet banking) and institutional segments.

The company has market share of 5%, in derivative segment around 3.75%. Revenues from broking business are nearly 86%, EBITDA margin stood at 32%. It is debt free company.

Motilal Oswal has 30 mandates in investment banking business and going to invest Rs 550 crore in PMS.

People can apply for the issue, which looks to be good.

My Expectation

In usual scenario this IPO must be hitting 1077 on the listing day.
