The Offer and the Objects 

The offer comprises of a fresh issue of 2500000 equity shares at upper price band of Rs 400 and 2525253 equity shares at lower price band of Rs 396 aggregating up to Rs 100 crore by the company. 

The net proceeds of the fresh Issue are proposed to be utilized towards funding incremental working capital requirements of the company and general corporate purposes.

Strengths 

The home health market in India and neighbouring countries is pegged at Rs 20,757 crore in 2019 and is expected to grow to Rs 38,920.7 crore by 2025 at a CAGR 11%. The growth is driven by rising awareness of health and wellness, increasing spending power, growing burden of chronic diseases, and the need for healthcare stakeholders to reduce healthcare costs. 

The company operates on an asset light business model which does not require it to invest heavily on physical assets such as plant and machinery, land and property and therefore this business model allows it to be capital efficient. The company believes its business model is scalable, such that it can expand its geographical reach and distribution capacity and add new products efficiently and at a relatively low cost without disrupting its existing business. 

Home healthcare helps reduce hospital visits, thereby reducing hospital induced infections. The raging COVID-19 pandemic and fear of infection has pushed people towards virtual visits and home health products where hospitalization was not necessary e.g. digital blood pressure monitors, nebulizers, thermometers etc. 

Healthcare providers aim to discharge patients early with the home health devices supporting monitoring. Sale of home health devices provides an additional revenue stream. The basic parameters including heart rate, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, skin temperature, ECG readings, non-invasive blood pressure can be monitored using remote devices or mobile health (mHealth) solutions. The hospitals and insurance companies benefit from remote monitoring and reduced adverse events. 

Nureca focuses on creating innovative products with an emphasis of quality and efficiency. Further, they focus that their products are adhered to the most stringent European CE mark and United States' Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. Based on their experience Nureca has focused on investing in experience based product innovation that are most relevant in creating the consumer experience. 

The company has received 66 trademark, 6 copyrights and 92 designs registrations and applied for 12 trademark registrations. 

Weaknesses 

The company depends on third parties to manufacture its products. If these organizations are unable or unwilling to manufacture its products, or if these organizations fail to comply with FDA or other applicable regulations or otherwise fail to meet its requirements, business will be harmed. 

The company is dependent on third parties in relation to its distribution and sales. All its products are distributed and sold through its website, third party e-commerce platforms and other channels of retail, over which it has limited control. 

The markets in which the company operates are highly competitive in terms of pricing, product and service quality, product development and introduction time, customer service, financing terms and shifts in market demands.

 The company has a very limited operating history. The company is subject to all the business risks and uncertainties associated with setting up any new business venture, which may adversely affect its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Assessing the future prospects of the business is challenging in light of both known and unknown risks and difficulties it may encounter. 

The availability of look-alikes, counterfeit healthcare devices, primarily in domestic market, manufactured by other companies and passed off as the company's products, could adversely affect its goodwill and results of operations. 

Nureca manufacturing facility located in Chandigarh have been obtained on leasehold basis from Raman Goyal, mother of Saurabh Goyal. Saurabh Goyal has disassociated himself from his parents Sanjiv Goyal and Raman Goyal pursuant to a family partition deed entered with Sanjiv Goyal along with his wife Raman Goyal on September 10, 2020. In the event that any lease or sub-lease agreement is not renewed, the company will be required to expend time and financial resources to locate suitable land or building to set up its operations. 

The company is subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA and numerous other state and central governmental authorities. To varying degrees, each of these authorities monitors and enforces compliance with laws and regulations governing the development, testing, clinical study, manufacturing, labelling, packaging, marketing and distribution of healthcare devices. These laws and regulations are subject to change and to evolving interpretations which could increase costs, prevent or delay future device clearance or approvals, or otherwise adversely affect its ability to market currently cleared or approved devices.

Valuation 

For the fiscal ended March 31, 2020, sales were up by 61% to Rs 99.43 crore. However OPM fell 490 bps to 9.7% which led to marginal 7% increase in operating profit to Rs 9.69 crore. Other income decreased 29% to 6 lakh while interest cost jumped 217% to Rs 77 lakh and depreciation 556% to Rs 37 lakh. PBT decreased 3% to Rs 8.61 crore. Tax expenses were down 15% to Rs 2.21 crore as result net profit rose 3% to Rs 6.4 crore. 

In H1FY21 revenues stood at Rs 122.15 crore while OPM jumped to 40.3% resulting OP of Rs 49.18 crore. PBT stood at Rs 48.65 crore while net profit was Rs 36.18 crore. The company has shown impressive growth in sales in first six months of FY21 which may be mostly due to fear of COVID-19 pandemic and patients avoiding visiting hospitals and clinics which led to increase in sales. However, as the situation is normalizing, market growth too should settle to an earlier growth trajectory. The E-commerce adoption strategy by the company is working very well and should continue to do well going forward. 

For FY2020, the consolidated EPS on post issue equity was Rs 6.4. The upper price band of Rs 400 discounts the FY20 EPS by 62.5 times. There is no other comparable listed company.
