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 ...

Perennial China Retail Trust

Latest update:  Reuters reported that Perennial China Retail Trust's IPO will be deferred. The posting below was made prior to that.


I will do a short preview on this and Hutchison business trust as there are many of you interested to know as many were offered placement shares and the book building will close this week. My analysis is preliminary and based on the term sheets which I received and will be updated when the IPO is launched.


Perennial China Retail Trust is launched by the former Capitaland retail head Pua Seck Guan.  I don't think the departure was that amicable as he was in a privileged position to know how Capitaland operates and how they manage their projects etc. It is like you owning a saloon and one of your key hair stylist opening a shop in the same shopping mall and he knows who your top customers are, how you make money, what kind of margins to charge etc. On the other hand, this is none of "my business"and you probably know this guy knows how to run his business and you are in good hands. 


The Business Trust listing will be on the main board of SGX and its focus is in China.  The trust is offering 1,092,000,000 units of which 55% is for international placement, 40% for cornerstone and up to 5% for the public. The indicative price is S$1 per unit and is priced at a 22% discount to analysts consensus NAV per unit. The distribution yield is projected at 3% for FY2011 and 3.1% for FY2012. Do note that this is not a REIT, it is a Business Trust. The difference between a business trust and reit can be found here.


Another "relative" peer will be Capmallasia. The entity is trading at 1.16x price to book and have a yield of 1.143%. In that regard, Perennial China Retail Trust is more attractively priced for investors who like to have an exposure to the China Retail sector. 


I will comment on whether the share is worth a stag and its "fair value" when the final prospectus is registered and the pricing finalized.
