Paytm should go public in next 5 years or face identity crisis - 14.11.2019

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Japan’s Softbank, the investor in the Paytm, has laid down new norms, as a part of the latest funding round to be done by T Rowe, Ant Fin, and Softbank. T Rowe is likely to invest $150-$200 million in Paytm and total funds to be raised are close to $1Billion, as per source from Economic Times.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>New Norms:</strong></span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">The company should go public in the next 5 years, else, Softbank has a right to sell its stake to a rival company.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">As per the report, it is mention that the Paytm has reached such a stage, where it needs to find a way to increase revenue and bring profitability. The Paytm lately facing stiff competition from Walmart Phone-Pe and Google Tej. The next big threat is coming from Facebook backed Watsapp wallet, which is slated to hit the Indian market by next year.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">We at <strong>UnlistedZone</strong> viewed this as a necessary step, to avoid failure, such has happened in We-Work, where Softbank has a considerable investment. The We -Work  IPO plans have failed miserably and its valuation has come down from $57 Billion to $8 Billion in just 3-4 months and has resulted in the loss of $4Billion to Softbank. The Fin-Tech companies can’t go alone on funding and must generate free-cash from the business to sustain in the longer run. Now all eyes would be on Vijay Shekhar, Founder of Paytm, as to how he will come out with the solution in the highly competitive environment to make Paytm profitable, which has shown a loss of ~Rs. 4000 cr in FY18-19. The challenge is huge. On one side you need growth and other side profitability. The next 1-2 years is make and break for Paytm.</span>

Paytm is in talks with T Rowe to raise funds

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Online payment services company Paytm is in talks with US asset manager T Rowe Price to lead a financing round aimed at raising $1 billion, according to two people privy to the matter. </span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">The latest funding round may value Paytm at $13-15 billion, the people said. </span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">T Rowe Price is in talks to invest around $150-200 million, with existing investors SoftBank and Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba expected to infuse the rest of the capital. Some Saudi-based funds may also join in,” said one person on condition of anonymity. </span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">The Vijay Shekhar Sharma-led company has been in the market since early this year to shore up funds amid mounting losses and growing competition in the digital payments sector posed by Google Pay and Walmart-owned PhonePe.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">The size of the funding round has been trimmed from the $2 billion that Noida-based One97 Communication, Paytm’s parent, had set out to raise, people said. ET first reported in its March 28 edition that Paytm was eyeing $1.5-2 billion in new capital. If the deal goes through, it will be a rare bet for T Rowe Price, which manages more than $1 trillion in assets, on a privately held Indian technology startup, after its investment in Flipkart.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Paytm’s Sharma and SoftBank did not comment on the new financing. </span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Emailed queries sent to T Rowe Price and Alibaba Group on Monday evening did not elicit a response till press time.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">SoftBank, which first invested in the company in 2017, holds a 19% stake, while the Alibaba Group, through Ant Financial and directly, owns 38% of One97 Communications. People familiar with the development said Paytm may not see a significant bump up in valuation during the fundraising. The company was said to be valued at $16 billion in a secondary round earlier this year, although Paytm did not confirm this. A secondary sale is when an existing investor sells shares to another and the money does not come to the company.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Paytm’s last equity funding was in 2018, when Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway invested $300 million, ascribing a $10 billion valuation. It’s been tough going for Paytm in the previous year as losses widened in the previous financial year as revenue increased marginally. One97 Communications posted a ₹3,959.6 crore net loss for FY19 against ₹1,490 crores a year earlier, according to details the company shared with investors and as ET reported in September. </span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Besides the losses, a stream of top management executives quit and its e-commerce business under Paytm Mall was being audited by EY for a cashback scam.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">In recent media interactions, Sharma has stressed his company’s strategy to cut losses and turn profitable amid a rising chorus against the wave of cash-guzzling and money-losing startups in India and Silicon Valley. Sharma has also spoken about potential IPO. Paytm claims its margins are now growing positively and it has registered an increase in revenue across payments, commerce, and financial services. The company has said it is moving away from the discount-led, peer-to-peer payments vertical to focus on online and offline merchants. Cashbacks and subsidies have helped drive online payment transactions on the consumer side along with incentives to encourage adoption by merchants.</span> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;"><strong>Source: Economic Times</strong></span>

NCL Alltek & Seccolor is NCL Buildtek now, to reflect the range of building material it offers - 27.10.2019

NCL Buildtek is the new name of NCL Alltek &amp; Seccolor, a change to reflect the range of building materials the NCL group firm has come to deal with over the years, from windows, doors, putties, paints and building blocks to tiling solutions. The new identity is designed to help clients visualize a one-stop solution for all their building material needs, managing director K. Madhu said. NCL Buildtek, he added, wants to add more products, grow footprint across the country and also make an IPO (initial public offer). In an interaction at the new premises of the company on Friday, he said NCL Alltek and NCL Seccolor were started as separate companies in the late 1980s and were subsequently merged. “Originally, Alltek was manufacturing spray plasters that are acrylic putty and textured paints and Seccolor was manufacturing color coated steel windows with technology from Italy,” he explained. “We added a lot more building material over time. The Alltek plant in Suryapet district started manufacturing emulsion paints, cement-based products like white cement-based putty and cement renders. At Seccolor [facility in Sangareddy district], we got into uPVC windows. We have 10 fabrication centers of uPVC across the country… forayed into ABS doors and aluminum windows,” he said. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Steel door unit</strong></span> There are plans to set up a steel door unit in Sangareddy district, with an investment of over ₹10 crores, once the company gets possession of seven acres allotted to it by the government, he added. The company is setting up an ACC (autoclaved aerated concrete) block manufacturing unit in Nellore. “We are investing ₹80 crores on the plant, which is one of the biggest investments,” Mr. Madhu said about the second such but larger facility of the company. The Nellore plant can produce about 5 lakh cubic meters of AAC blocks per year, while the capacity of the first plant near Vijayawada is about 2.2 lakh cubic meters. <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Trial runs</strong></span> “At the Nellore facility, we have started trial runs. The plant would be fully operational by March 2020 making it the largest [such] plant in south India.” The company also plans to expand its putties and paint manufacturing facilities near Delhi. From being a company well known in south India and catering to customers in some parts of north India and doing projects in north-east, the NCL Buildtek would like to grow its footprint. Last fiscal, it had clocked revenues of ₹375 crores. Source: The Hindu

Paytm has given Diwali Bonus in the form of ESOP - 22.10.2019

As per ROC filing by Paytm, the Paytm has introduced new ESOP 2019 scheme for its employees for a period of 5 years. Under this scheme, the company will issue 2,42,904 shares worth Rs 357.66 crore. With this addition, the total count for ESOP in Paytm will increase to 2,166,524. <strong>What is ESOP?</strong> ESOP means employee stock options. Under this, the company issue shares to its employees generally at discount to the market value. This is a win-win situation for both the company and employees. The company gets the required funds for growth and expansion, on the other hand, the employees get the company's shares which they can encash to make good money in the future when its IPO comes. <strong>For ex</strong>., When Flipkart was taken by Walmart for Rs 1 lakh crore, the employees holding the stock in their hands became very wealthy overnight. <strong>When to apply for ESOP?</strong> If an employee thinks that the company is performing well, the employee should buy these shares and keep until the company becomes big to turn their fortunes. <strong>UnlistedZone View:</strong> <strong>(i)</strong> The Paytm will issue these shares at ~Rs. 14600 per share as per information collected from ROC. Last year, they issued shares to Warren Buffet firm Berkshire Hathway for Rs. 12300 per share. <strong>(ii)</strong> The big question is whether this ESOP 2019 scheme attracts employees? Participation in the ESOP 2019 scheme by employees will give a lot of insight. The employees are a very important source of information about the health of the company. We will keep you updating here once we get more information about ESOP 2019 scheme.
