Food Innovators Holding Limited

Food Innovators Holdings Limited ("FIH" or the "Company") is offering 14m shares at $0.22 each, for which 13m shares will be through placement and the remaining 1m shares via a Public Offer. The IPO will close on 14 Nov at 12 noon and starts trading on 16 Oct 9am.  FIH has two business models - the first is to be a master lease and sublease the space to other tenants and the second is to operate and manage restaurants.  The Company currently has 12 restaurants in Japan, 10 in Singapore and 4 in Malaysia. The market cap based on the IPO price is around $24.9m. Financial Highlights FIH's revenue grew from $37.8m in FY2022 to $43.8m in FY2024. It is quite funny to see that being a master land lease holder has a higher margin than operating the restaurants, once again illustrating the point that it is better to be a landlord to shake leg and collect rent. According to the prospectus, the PER is around 19x. The Company intends to pay 20% of its net profit after ...

Wee Hur Holdings Ltd.


(IPO Booth at Raffles Place)

Wee Hur Holdings Ltd specialise in construction projects, ranging from new construction, additions and alterations of existing buildings. Bascially we can use one phrase to describe this company - A "Brave" Construction Firm.

2,091,000 Public Offer shares at $0.25
81,558,000 Placement shares at $0.25
Joint Managers: SBI E2-Capital and Phillip Capital
Closing date: 28 Jan 2008 12pm (they should have chosen 8.08 am as the closing time :P)

Once again, i use the word "brave". I definitely hope they are not trying to be the first IPO to be undersubcribed. Basically i have nothing good to say about this industry, so lets start with what i dont like about this sector/company:

(1) Cyclical industry. The earnings fluctuate with the property cycle. If you remember just a few years back, the construction industry is in the doldrums and all the construction firms almost 'died'. If not for the IR and the current property boom, i believe Wee Hur will not have this 'window' to list.

(2) Limited growth. How exciting can this sector be with competitive landscape and rising construction raw materials.

(3) Owners are selling out. Under such market sentiments, even the owners are cashing out by selling vendor shares. I am really surprised the underwriters agreed to it!

(4) Small market cap. With a market cap of only $80.3m, this is one of the smallest construction firm around when you compare to the likes of Chip Eng Seng, Lian Beng and Koh Bros.

(5) Family Biz. As in most construction firm, it is usually a very family oriented business. This may prevent some 'professionals' from joining the firm.

Fair Value:

Lets take a look at the track record of Wee Hur:
FY2004 Revenue: $48.1m, Net Profit: $1.65m
FY 2005 Revenue: $45.8m, Net Profit: $1.57m
FY 2006 Revenue: $80.6m, Net Profit: $2.757m
1H 2007 Revenue: $45.6m, Net Profit: $5.74m

Assuming EPS for 2007 is 1H07 x 2 = 3.6 cents, based on the IPO price of 25 cents, it is trading at a historical PE of 6.9x, which in my view, is reasonably priced. Assuming a EPS growth of 20% for FY 2008, the EPS will be 4.32 cents. Assuming a PE value of 8x, the 'fair value' will be around 34 cents.
