NSE Q2FY24 Financial Results

<p>In the latest financial report for the Q2FY24, the company has demonstrated remarkable progress, although not without its challenges. NSE continues to be the world&rsquo;s largest derivatives exchange for the 4th consecutive year. Let's delve into the key figures that define the performance: <br /><br /><strong>1. Total Revenue:</strong> The total revenue has surged to an impressive Rs. 4,023 crores, marking a significant year-on-year increase of 28% from the previous year's Rs. 3,149 crores. This substantial growth in revenue underscores the Company's commitment to expanding its market presence. <br /><br /><strong>2. Operating Revenue:</strong> The Company has achieved an operating revenue of Rs. 3,652 crores, representing a 24% y-o-y increase from the previous year's Rs. 2,937 crores. <br /><br /><strong>3. Efficiency:</strong> Notably, a substantial 91% of the total revenue is attributed to operating activities, reflecting the efficiency of the core business operations. <br /><br /><strong>4. Total Expenses:</strong> While the Company's revenue has seen substantial growth, total expenses have also surged, increasing by a significant 145% from the previous year, reaching Rs. 1,420 crores, compared to Rs. 578 crores in the previous year. <br /><br /><strong>5. Cash Expenses:</strong> A significant portion of the expenses, amounting to Rs. 1,313 crores, was allocated to cash expenses, as compared to Rs. 482 crores in the previous year. <br /><br /><strong>6. Drivers of Expense:</strong> The increase in total expenses is primarily attributed to two key factors: a substantial contribution of Rs. 560 crores to the Core SGF maintained by NCL and regulatory fees amounting to Rs. 137 crores. <br /><br /><strong>7. Operating EBITDA:</strong> The operating EBITDA reflects the company's ability to generate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization: <strong>(i)</strong> Without Core SGF, it stands at 79% amounting to Rs. 2,899 crores, compared to 84% at Rs. 2,455 crores in the previous year. <strong>(ii)</strong> With Core SGF, it's at 64%, amounting to Rs. 2,339 crores, compared to 84% at Rs. 2,455 crores in the previous year. <br /><br /><strong>8. Associates' Contribution :</strong> The associates have contributed Rs. 26 crores to the profits, showing an increase from Rs. 19 crores in the previous year. <br /><br /><strong>9. Discontinued Operations:</strong> A net negative effect of Rs. 13 crores was observed due to discontinued operations, net of taxes. <br /><br /><strong>10. Profit After Tax:</strong> The profit after tax stands at 50%, amounting to Rs. 1,999 crores, compared to 56% at Rs. 1,774 crores in the previous year. <br /><br /><a href="https://unlistedzone.com/shares/nse-india-limited-unlisted-shares">https://unlistedzone.com/shares/nse-india-limited-unlisted-shares</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

Implications of Sheela Foam’s Acquisition of Kurl-On Enterprise
Blog27 Oct 2023

Implications of Sheela Foam’s Acquisition of Kurl-On Enterprise

<h3 class="p1"><strong>Kurl-On Enterprise Shareholders:</strong></h3> <p class="p2">Recently, shareholders were notified via email about a buyback offer for the remaining 5.34% of KEL shares at INR 588.20 per share, which matches the rate at which Sheela Foam acquired its stake. It's important to note, however, that last year KEL's acquisition of stakes from Motilal Oswal PE Fund valued the company at approximately INR 3200 crore, or INR 870 per share. Given this context, the current buyback offer at INR 588.20 per share raises significant questions about the fairness of the valuation, potentially suggesting an undervaluation by the management.</p> <h3 class="p3"><strong>Should Investors Participate in the Buyback?</strong></h3> <p class="p2">- <strong>Hold</strong>: If investors have the holding capacity, it might be advantageous to hold the shares. The rationale behind this is that Sheela Foam&rsquo;s acquisition could potentially boost Kurl-On Enterprise's operational efficiency, thereby potentially increasing revenue and net profit. This, in turn, could enhance the company&rsquo;s future valuation.</p> <p>- <strong>Sell</strong>: For those facing liquidity issues, participating in the buyback could be a feasible option. Howver, the offer comes at a discount to last year value.</p> <p class="p4">For those who decide to sell, the process involves sending a request letter to the company via email.</p> <h3 class="p1"><strong>Kurl-ON Limited Shareholders:</strong></h3> <p class="p2">Having sold its 94.66% stake in Kurl-On Enterprise for INR 2035 Cr, Kurl-ON Limited now faces the significant question of how to allocate this capital.</p> <h3 class="p3"><strong>What Are the Expectations?</strong></h3> <p class="p2">- <strong>Capital Allocation</strong>: Shareholders would be keen to know if this capital will be used for debt repayment, strategic investments, or possibly returned to shareholders in some form.</p> <p>- <strong>Dividend or Share Buybacks</strong>: A special dividend or a share buyback program could be an immediate way to benefit shareholders. <br /><br />- <strong>Strategic Focus:</strong> With the major stake now sold, what will be the company&rsquo;s new strategic direction? Will it diversify or double down on existing operations?</p> <h3 class="p3"><strong>Hypothetical Special Dividend Scenario:</strong></h3> <p class="p2">If we assume that Kurl-ON Limited decides to distribute the entire INR 2035 Cr as a special dividend, we can calculate the per-share dividend. Given that Kurl-ON Limited has 1.488 Cr total outstanding shares, the special dividend would amount to approximately INR 1367 per share.</p> <p><strong>However, Before we give the above fair value to Kurlon Ltd share out of sale proceeds we have to keep in mind the following, <br /><br /></strong> 1. Recently, KL acquired a 10.06% stake in KEL, purchasing it from Motilal PE Fund for a consideration of INR 325 crore. Notably, KL did not have sufficient liquid funds on its books to complete the transaction, indicating that the capital was likely borrowed. At the time of this acquisition, Motilal PE Fund's valuation for KEL stood at approximately INR 3200 crore. <br /><br />2. And, when KL has purchased the KEL shares the book value was around INR 40 Cr and today the value is INR 2035 Cr. So, they need to pay LTCG. Overall, we can say 30-35% from INR 2035 Cr will go for Debt repayment and Taxes. So, per share value would be INR 880-900 per share.</p> <p class="p2">In summary, the next moves from the management will be critical and highly anticipated by Kurl-ON Limited shareholders. It remains a compelling situation worth monitoring closely.</p>

With a total of 12 Cr outstanding shares, this pegs the per-share value at approximately INR 1400. Currently, it is available at around INR 600 per share in the unlisted market. But whoever wants to invest have to wait for 2 years minimum to get value unlocking. So, invest accordingly.</p> <h3 class="p3"><strong>What's Next: The IPO</strong></h3> <p class="p4">Once the demerger is complete, Sterlite Power is expected to go public.

As the company is poised to go public soon, it is crucial for investors to understand the dynamics of its performance in FY 2023, as well as the prospects it holds for the future.</p> <h4>A) Financial Performance in FY 2023</h4> <p><strong>1. Revenue and Operational Costs</strong> <br /><br />While the revenue saw a moderate increase from INR 195 crores in FY 2022 to INR 205 crores in FY 2023, the operational costs have surged significantly. Employee benefit expenses alone rose by INR 7 crores, and other operational expenses increased by INR 18 crores.

Silver Lining</strong> <br /><br />Despite the operational challenges, the company managed to generate cash from operations of approximately INR 54 crores, an increase from INR 31 crores in FY 2022.

New Launches and Customer Relationships</strong> <br /><br />ESDS has expanded its footprint by launching new Data Centres in Mohali and has plans for one in Navi Mumbai in H1FY24.

Detailed Blog Post: Navigating the Complex Landscape of Pharmeasy's INR 3500 Cr Right Issue of CCPS B
Blog28 Sept 2023

Detailed Blog Post: Navigating the Complex Landscape of Pharmeasy's INR 3500 Cr Right Issue of CCPS B

<h4>Introduction</h4> <p>Pharmeasy, a significant player in India's digital pharmacy landscape, has recently announced its plan to raise INR 3500 Cr through a Right Issue of Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) B. This move has stirred interest and curiosity among investors and industry experts alike. This blog aims to dissect the nuances of this financial action, its impact on the company's valuation, and what it means for potential and current investors.</p> <h4>Why is Pharmeasy Raising Capital?</h4> <p>The primary reason behind raising this massive amount is to pay back a loan that Pharmeasy took from Goldman Sachs. According to the original loan agreement, Pharmeasy was supposed to raise future capital through equity. However, Goldman Sachs extended this deadline to July 2023, providing the company with the flexibility to opt for issuing CCPS B.</p> <h4>Investor Commitment: A Confidence Booster</h4> <p>MEMG International India Private Limited, which is wholly owned by Dr. Ranjan Pai and his family, along with other co-investors, have already committed around INR 1300 Cr. Such a significant commitment not only instills confidence among other investors but also underlines the robust financial planning behind this Right Issue.</p> <h4>The Nature of CCPS B</h4> <p>These are not regular equity shares. They are Compulsorily Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS B), and they are being issued at INR 96.8 per share. Eligibility for this issue is open to holders of API Holdings&rsquo; equity shares, CCPS A, or ESOPS as of August 11, 2023.</p> <h4>The Conversion Game: Decoding the Price</h4> <p>The market was abuzz with rumors suggesting a Right Issue price of INR 4.84 per share. However, the actual price stands at INR 96.8. Now, the catch here is that these CCPS B can be converted into 20 equity shares at a future date. So, in essence, the effective price becomes INR 4.84, aligning with the market whispers.</p> <h4>Subscription Ratio</h4> <p>For every 17 equity shares you hold, you will be entitled to receive 1 CCPS B. These shares offer considerable flexibility, as they can be converted into equity shares whenever the investor chooses to do so.</p> <h4>Past Context: CCPS A Conversion</h4> <p>For investors who participated in last year&rsquo;s Right Issue involving CCPS A, the conversion price has been fixed at INR 4.356 per CCPS A, following a Board meeting held on July 24, 2023.</p> <h4>Valuation Post Right Issue</h4> <p>Now, let's dive deep into the valuation metrics. Currently, the company holds:</p> <p>a) Equity Shares: 614 Cr</p> <p>b) CCPS A: 5.48 Cr</p> <p>c) CCPS B: 36.1 Cr ( After Successful Right Issue )</p> <p>If we assume that all these shares are converted into equity, we'll have a total of 1456 Cr shares (614 Cr from existing equity shares, 120 Cr from CCPS A, and 722 Cr from CCPS B). With an assumed share price of INR 5, the valuation will be approximately INR 7280 Cr or close to 1 Billion USD.</p> <h4>Timelines and Objectives</h4> <p>The Right Issue is scheduled to be open from September 29, 2023, to October 27, 2023. The funds raised through this Right Issue will be utilized for debt repayment, fulfilling working capital needs, and maintaining specific cash reserves, as mandated by the agreements with debtors.</p> <h4>Conclusion: A Strategic Lifeline and Bright Prospects Ahead</h4> <p>The Right Issue of CCPS B provides Pharmeasy with a significant capital infusion, offering the company a new lifeline for growth and innovation. Additionally, this capital raise will extinguish the debt obligations to Goldman Sachs, further strengthening the company&rsquo;s balance sheet. If you examine the financials for FY23, you'll notice a drastic reduction in losses&mdash;from approximately INR 4000 Cr in FY22 to around INR 2200 Cr in FY23. This improvement in the bottom line indicates effective cost management and possibly increasing revenue streams. Based on this trend, we believe that the company is well-positioned to perform strongly in the next two years.</p> <h4>Investment Dilemma: Unlisted Market Shares or Right Issue?</h4> <p>For those contemplating an investment in Pharmeasy, the quandary often boils down to whether to buy shares from the unlisted market or to apply in the Right Issue. Our analysis suggests that applying in the Right Issue would be more advantageous as it offers shares at a more attractive price point. This Right Issue, therefore, not only solidifies Pharmeasy's financial standing but also presents an enticing investment opportunity for those looking to capitalize on the company's future growth.</p>

Lava's Ambitious Roadmap: Aiming for Global Dominance with Made-in-India Products

<h4>Introduction</h4> <p>In a recent interview with CNBC-TV 18, Sunil Raina, President and Business Head of Lava, shed light on the company's ambitious plans for the future. From focusing on contract manufacturing to embracing 5G technology, Lava aims to be a game-changer in the industry. This blog delves into the key takeaways from the interview and what they mean for the future of Lava and the Indian smartphone market.</p> <h4>Contract Manufacturing and Localization: The New Mantras</h4> <p>Lava's Biz President, Sunil Raina, emphasized the company's push towards contract manufacturing. The brand has also welcomed the Indian government's import curbs on laptops, tablets, and personal computers. With 100% manufacturing and 40% localization already achieved in India, Lava is setting new benchmarks for the industry.</p> <h4>Emotional Appeal Backed by Quality</h4> <p>While the emotional appeal of 'Made in India' resonates with the masses, Lava understands that it needs to be backed by quality products. Significant investments have been made in product development to ensure that the brand stands up to global standards.</p> <h4>The 5G Revolution: Democratizing Technology</h4> <p>The affordable 5G segment is witnessing increasing competition, and Lava aims to be a significant player in this space. With plans to launch 100 models within a year, the company is committed to making 5G accessible to the masses. Lava was among the first to introduce an affordable 5G smartphone, proving its mettle against global competitors.</p> <h4>Policy and Ecosystem: The Road Ahead</h4> <p>While Lava has achieved significant localization, the brand acknowledges that localizing bigger components like chipsets and memory is still a couple of years away. A policy tweak may be required to foster the local ecosystem further.</p> <h4>India's Focus on Innovation and R&amp;D</h4> <p>The Indian government's import restrictions have sparked a discussion within the domestic manufacturing industry. While the industry push is to delay the implementation, Lava believes that change, although uncomfortable, is necessary for growth in manufacturing.</p> <h4>Global Expansion: South America and Beyond</h4> <p>Lava is not just limiting its vision to India. The company is actively looking at acquisitions in South America and exploring contract manufacturing as a potential growth trajectory. It aims to become the Foxconn of India, providing world-class manufacturing services.</p> <h4>Organic and Inorganic Means of Growth</h4> <p>Lava has already acquired a company with a presence in 21 countries in Latin America. This acquisition is part of the brand's strategy to grow both organically and inorganically.</p> <h4>Conclusion: Building a Global Indian Brand</h4> <p>Lava's aspiration is clear: to build a strong Indian brand that can go global. The company is not open to the idea of being acquired by a larger player, emphasizing its commitment to becoming a multinational global smartphone brand. As you've seen, Lava is not just another smartphone company; it's a brand with a vision, aiming for global expansion and technological innovation. With its focus on contract manufacturing, 5G technology, and localization, Lava presents a unique investment opportunity that's poised for significant growth. <br /><br /><strong>Why wait for the IPO when you can invest today and be part of this incredible journey?</strong> 👉 <br /><br /><strong>Contact Us Now to Learn More About Investing in <a href="https://unlistedzone.com/shares/lava-international-limited-share-price-buy-sell-unlisted-shares-of-lava-international/">Lava's Unlisted Shares.</a></strong></p>

Martin and Harris have reported a revenue of 207 Cr for FY23, which is a commendable 20% increase from the 172 Cr in FY22. This growth indicates a strong performance in the company's core pharma business and suggests that the company has been able to capitalize on market opportunities effectively.</p> <h2>Flat Profit: A Closer Look</h2> <p>Despite the impressive revenue growth, the company's PAT remained flat at 53 Cr. The reason behind this stagnation can be traced back to the Profit and Loss (P&amp;L) statement. The employee benefit expenses have increased from 18 Cr in FY22 to 24 Cr in FY23. Additionally, other expenses have surged from 44 Cr to 60 Cr in the same period. This amounts to an overall increase in expenses by almost 22 Cr.</p> <h3>Breakdown of Expenses</h3> <p>A significant portion of the increased expenses comes from legal and professional fees, along with consultancy charges, which have seen a 7 Cr increase. These rising costs have offset the revenue growth, leading to a flat PAT and EPS.</p> <h2>Subsidiary Performance: Delite Infrastructure</h2> <p>Delite Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Martin and Harris, primarily earns its income from Rent and Interest. The income for FY23 remained around 21 Cr, similar to the 25 Cr in the previous year.</p> <h2>Consolidated Financials</h2> <p>On a consolidated level, the revenue for FY23 was 229 Cr compared to 212 Cr in FY22. The PAT was 68 Cr in FY23, slightly lower than the 70 Cr in FY22. The EPS for FY23 stood at approximately 170.</p> <h2>Conclusion: A Mixed Bag</h2> <p>To sum up, Martin and Harris have shown promising growth in their pharma business with a 20% increase in revenue. However, the increased expenses have negated the impact of this growth on the PAT. Investors looking at Martin and Harris Unlisted Share Price should consider these factors carefully. For those interested in investing in <a href="https://unlistedzone.com/shares/martin-and-harris-laboratories-limited-unlisted-shares/">Martin and Harris Unlisted Share</a>, it's crucial to weigh the growth prospects against the rising operational costs. While the top line shows promise, the bottom line needs careful evaluation</p>

Lakeshore Hospital: Strengths, Weaknesses, Fy22-23 Financial Performance and Outlook for FY23-24
Blog15 Sept 2023

Lakeshore Hospital: Strengths, Weaknesses, Fy22-23 Financial Performance and Outlook for FY23-24

<h3>A) Business Overview</h3> <p>The company in focus is Lakeshore Hospital and Research Centre Limited (LHRC), which is a part of VPS Healthcare. LHRC is a healthcare service provider that operates mainly through one hospital and has slightly diversified by starting a Medical Centre in Kozhikode. It offers a range of services including surgeries, transplants, dialysis, and preventive health check-ups among others. As of March 31, 2022, Lakeshore Hospital and Research Centre Limited (LHRC) employs a distinguished cadre of healthcare professionals. The staff includes 254 doctors, approximately 729 nurses, more than 450 individuals in medical support roles, and nearly 429 additional support staff. Among the doctors are several high-profile experts who have been affiliated with the hospital for over 15 years. The institution also boasts 129 specialist doctors serving as full-time consultants.</p> <h3>B) Key Strengths</h3> <p><strong>1. Part of a Reputed Group</strong>: Being a part of VPS Healthcare gives LHRC a strong backing and credibility in the healthcare industry.<br /><br /></p> <p><strong>2. Strong Medical Team</strong>: LHRC has an extensive and experienced team of doctors, nursing staff, and medical support staff.<br /><br /></p> <p><strong>3. Solid Financial Performance</strong>: The Total Operating Income for FY23 witnessed a year-on-year growth of 17%, rising to ₹419 crores from ₹358 crores in FY22. Similarly, Profit After Tax (PAT) also escalated, moving from ₹42 crores in FY22 to ₹57 crores in FY23.<br /><br /></p> <p><strong>4. Diverse Specializations</strong>: The revenue streams are well-diversified across various medical specialties, mitigating risks associated with dependency on a single domain.</p> <p><strong>5. Healthy Capital Structure</strong>: The company has favorable debt protection metrics, and a low overall gearing ratio, suggesting a comfortable capital structure.</p> <h3>C) Key Weaknesses</h3> <p><strong>1. Moderate Occupancy Rates</strong>: Despite an uptick in FY23, the occupancy rates have remained moderate due to competition from lower-cost service providers.</p> <p><strong>2. Dependence on Skilled Professionals</strong>: The company&rsquo;s success is heavily contingent on retaining its scarce, highly-qualified medical professionals. Plus retaining nurses is also a challenge as they get good opportunity outside India.</p> <p><strong>3. Geographical Concentration</strong>: A large portion of the company's revenue is generated from a single location, making it susceptible to local market conditions.</p> <p><strong>4. Liquidity</strong>: Though marked as strong, the company has to manage its obligations carefully, given its strong accruals.</p> <h3>D) Management Quality</h3> <p>The management of LHRC appears to be highly experienced and competent, backed by a strong promoter group in VPS Healthcare. They have successfully managed to improve both financial and operational performance over the years.</p> <h3>E) Company Inception and Growth</h3> <p>LHRC has grown over the years to become a significant part of VPS Healthcare. While details about its inception are not available in the information provided, its alignment with VPS Healthcare suggests a well-structured and strategically planned growth trajectory.</p> <h3>F) Lakeshore Hospital and Research Center Performance Overview for FY22-23</h3> <h4>Financial Metrics</h4> <p><strong>1. Total Income</strong>: The company recorded a total income of ₹424 crores for this fiscal year, which is a 17% YoY increase compared to ₹362 crores in FY22.</p> <p><strong>2. Net Profit</strong>: The net profit surged impressively by 34%, growing from ₹43 crores in FY22 to ₹58 crores in FY23.</p> <p><strong>3. Earnings Per Share</strong>: An increase in EPS from ₹4.29 to ₹5.75 demonstrates a favorable return on investment.</p> <p><strong>4. Dividend</strong>: The Board has sanctioned a dividend of ₹1.70 per share (17%), to be disbursed following the Annual General Meeting's approval.</p> <h4>Operational Metrics</h4> <p><strong>1. Patient Volumes</strong>: LHRC provided healthcare to 343,876 out-patients and 21,087 in-patients this year, a notable uptick in service delivery.</p> <p><strong>2. Foreign Patient Influx</strong>: The hospital has successfully expanded its global reach, with foreign patient numbers soaring from 6,008 to 20,047.</p> <p><strong>3. Revenue Diversification</strong>: The healthcare specializations contributing to revenue are diversified, including Nephrology, Medical Oncology, and Orthopedics, among others.</p> <p><strong>4. Organ Transplants</strong>: A significant milestone was achieved in conducting 53 liver and 212 renal transplants, with a staggering success rate above 95%.</p> <h4>Future Outlook</h4> <p>For FY23-24, the company projects a high single to mid-double-digit growth in revenue and a corresponding increase in profitability. Management has projected a turn over 473 crores and profit before tax of 117 crores for the financial year 2023-24.</p> <h4>Additional Insights</h4> <p>The Kozhikode Medical Centre, although in its nascent stage, has already catered to over 12,000 patients.</p> <h4>Risk and Compliance</h4> <p>The company adheres to government regulations, especially in sensitive areas like organ transplants.</p> <h3>G) UnlistedZone's Take</h3> <p>Based on the aforementioned data, the performance of Lakeshore Hospital and Research Center appears strong on both financial and operational fronts. The future outlook also remains bullish. This suggests a positive investment scenario for the upcoming fiscal year. <br /><br />At present, the unlisted shares of Lakeshore Hospital are trading at ₹80 per share. With a total of 10 crore outstanding shares, this results in a Market Capitalization (Mcap) of ₹800 crores. The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio, based on this pricing, stands at 13x, which appears to be reasonably valued.</p>
