The total revenues of HP Adhesives show an increasing trend since the last three fiscals. Total revenues for FY21 increased by 26% to Rs 123.88 crore from Rs 97.91 crore in FY20. However PAT is volatile with Rs 10 crore in FY21 against a loss of Rs 4.67 crore in FY20 and Rs 4 crore in FY19. There has been a huge increase in PAT by 155% in FY21.
Debt to equity is at a higher side of 2.71x as at the end of H1FY22. Return on net worth has been 8.25%, 79.46%, -187%, and 27% for H1FY22, FY21, FY20, and FY19 respectively.
Title | H1FY22 | FY2021 | FY2020 | FY2019 |
Total Revenue | 72.73 | 123.88 | 97.91 | 87.97 |
PAT | 3.1 | 10.06 | -4.67 | 4 |
EBITDA | 7.34 | 17.69 | 6.92 | 8.70 |
Total Assets | 104.91 | 89.78 | 56.81 | 56.71 |
Cash generated from operations | -7.44 | 21.53 | 2.84 | 2.29 |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 10.09% | 14.28% | 7.07% | 9.89% |

The Issue is priced at 61.71x with annualized EPS of 4.44 as at the end of H1FY22 calculated at the upper price band of Rs 274 per share. P/BV is 10.38x with a NAV of 26.39 as at the end of H1FY22.
Pidilite Industries is shown as the peer of the Issuer as per the RHP. The market is primarily dominated by Pidilite Industries, commanding 60-65% of the market. However, each product category has several organized as well as unorganized players, with organized players commanding over 75% of the market.
Pidilite has a P/E of 89.25x as of 13th Dec 2021 and a P/BV of 20.64x. It should be noted that Pidilite has revenues of Rs 2640 crore for H1FY22 as against revenues of Rs 72 crore (H1FY22) of the Issuer. The valuations appear costly looking at the small size of the Issuer when compared to its peer.
HP Adhesives IPO opens on 14th Dec with an IPO size of Rs 125.96 crore (fresh Issue Rs 113.44 crore) with a price band of Rs 262-274 per share. The retail quota is 10% and the minimum application amount is Rs 13700. Proceeds of the Issue would be utilized towards funding CAPEX for proposed expansion (Rs 25.51 crore) and for working capital requirements (Rs 54 crore). The Issue closes on 17th Dec and is expected to list on 27th Dec 2021.
The market has both core manufacturers and pipes and fittings players who have entered the PVC adhesive manufacturing space. While leading manufacturers include HP Adhesives Ltd., Astral Adhesives, and Ashirvad Pipes Pvt. Ltd., the latter category has Prince Pipes, Apollo Pipes, Jain Irrigation, and Supreme Industries, among others. While these players manufacture very small volumes as compared with core manufacturers; HP Adhesives is the second-largest manufacturer, having 14-16% market share followed by Astral Adhesive with a share of 11-13%.
The growth of the consumer adhesive industry is expected to be moderate at a CAGR of 8% for the next 3-4 years. The factors of concern are volatility in profitability margins and sustainability of margins in the future of the Issuer. The financials of the company need to be tracked for one or more years. Considering all these factors, one may look at a better entry point later and avoid this IPO.
