Manyavar (Vedant Fashions): Company IPO valuation is resilient

31 January 2022, Mumbai:

The ongoing correction in capital market has not dented valuation of Kolkata-based ethnic wear major Vedant Fashions' initial public offer that aims to raise Rs 3,149 crore, a company official said on Friday.

The company, whose flagship brand is the male ethic brand 'Manyavar', has fixed its upper issue price band at Rs 824-866 a share, a company official said.

BSE Sensex has seen about 4300 point corrections since early January amid highly volatile trading sessions.

The company official said the pricing was decided after feedback from institutional investors who have shown high demand interest for the shares.

The company officials said initially it was estimated to raise Rs 2500 crore. However, with better valuations the company will raise upto Rs 3,149 crore at the upper price band through the IPO.

The public issue is purely an offer for sale of 36,364,838 equity shares by promoters and existing shareholders.

The offer for sale comprises sale of up to 1.74 crore shares by Rhine Holdings Ltd, up to 7.23 lakh shares by Kedaara Capital Alternative Investment Fund and up to 1.81 crore shares by Ravi Modi Family Trust.

Rationalizing the high price band, officials said it is an asset light company with zero debt despite its 546 exclusive stores. The huge growth potential in the organised celebration market will help to retain its high growth momentum.

Vedant Fashions is a pan-India player with a retail presence in over 200 cities and three countries in UAE, Canada and the United States.

The company said it will double its overseas store floor area in the next few years.

Its 'Manyavar' brand accounts for about 80 per cent of its revenue and the company officials said it was confident that its other newer brands will grow stronger in the years to come.

Asked about the impact of the third wave of COVID-19 on it, the company said it was minimal as shutdown was minimal.
