Redington plans to raise Rs 14950 millions thru IPO

 

Redington (India), Chennai-based provider of IT products and support services, is coming out with an initial public offering, IPO to raise around Rs 14950 millions in the upper end of the price band of Rs 95-113 per share.


The proceeds will be used to part-fund setting up of automated distribution centres, ADCs and service and repair centers, SRC in India and Dubai.


The company's offering of 13
.200 millions equity shares of Rs 10 each comprises about 16.99% of the fully diluted post-issue paid up capital of the company. The issue opens on January 22 and closes on January 25.


Redington is a distributor of IT products and a provider of logistics, supply chain management and other support services in India, West Asia and Africa. The company is to set up four automated ADCs in India and Dubai, apart from 68 SRCs in India.


"They will invest about Rs 425
millions in their wholly owned subsidiary Redington Gulf FZE for establishing ADCs in Dubai and to install enterprise resource and planning systems for operations in Middle East and Africa," R Srinivasan, Managing Director, Redington said.


Enam Financial Consultants and Cameo Corporate Services are the lead managers to the issue.

Redington to come up with Rs.1500 millions IPO

 

MD at Redington, R Srinivasan says that the money raised from the new issue would go towards setting up a new distribution centers in India. He adds that the company is looking to raise about Rs 1500 millions and the price range is between Rs 95-113 per share.


Excerpts from CNBC-TV18`s exclusive interview with R Srinivasan:


Q: What kind of money are
they looking to raise and what will be the purpose?

A: They are looking to raise about Rs 1500 millions for setting up new distribution centers in India. They are planning to set up four distribution centrers in India.


The second objective of the issue is to set-up 68 service centres in India, they already have 43 service centres. The third objective of the issue is to set-up a repair facility for LCD panels, the market for which is growing quite fast in India and repair at the moment is been done in Taiwan or in Korea. Lastly, they intend setting up a very large distribution centre in Jebel Ali in Dubai.


Q: How much of the revenues come from the Middle East and Africa?

A: 50% of their revenues are from the international business and 50% from the domestic business. Last year their turnover was in the region of about Rs 67000 millions, so approximately 50% of it is from Middle East and Africa.


Q: How much better will the margins be because of these service centres?

A: Their service margins are much higher than their product distribution margins but in terms of their total revenue, the services do not constitute more then 4% at this point in time.


Q: For the first half of 2007,
they had done an EPS of just about Rs 5. Would it be fair to annualize it for 2007 and say they will close the year by about Rs 10?

A: No, on an annual basis it would be more prior to dilution, post dilution it could be in the region of about Rs 10.3.


Q:
They are looking to raise about Rs 1500 millions and looking to issue about 13.200 millions equity unless they are looking to do pre IPO placement. Would it be fair to assume that they price to IPO of about Rs 115?

A: Their price would between Rs 95-113 - that would be correct.
