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 tax a

Oxley Holdings Limited


The Company is listed on Catalist on 29 Oct 2010 and transferred to the main board on 21 Feb 2013. The 'rags to riches' story of Ching Chiat Kwong is an interesting read. He is partly responsible for the "shoebox" craze in Singapore and he followed up with big bets at the Royal Wharf in London in 2013. I would agree that he has really "bet" well in the past but will luck run out of him one day given that his Company is really over-levered?


According to an article in EDGE last week, Oxley has pre-sold more than 2,000 residential units at the Royal Wharf and the first block will attain "TOP" in May 2016 where Oxley can get the remaining 80% from the buyers. Phase I will be completed by end 2017.

The same article mentioned that Oxley has unbilled revenue of $1.7b from oversea projects and these can be recognised when the projects are completed. In Singapore, it has $1.6b unbilled revenue of which more than $500m comes from Oxley Tower - which should be completed by 2017.

You can say that Oxley is a risk taker and one of the first movers in Cambodia and Myanmar. You would have see his advertisements of the Myanmar project at the PEAK, located with Shangri-la. His upcoming portfolio include hotels in Japan, Singapore, Phnom Penh and KL.

Oxley is also considering listing its property business in Malaysia to raise more equity.

 Financial Highlights


The Company seemed to be highly profitable but its cashflow in FY2015 has been financed by debt and only turned cash flow positive from operating activities in 1Q this year. 


The Company is highly leveraged with bank borrowings amounting to S$2.4b as of 1Q 2016.


Mr IPO's views

If i am to take a bet on Oxley, i rather invest in Oxley than the unsecured bond where the risk / reward just doesn't seem to make much sense. I am locked up for 4 years and earned a fixed interest rate of only 5% that somewhat doesn't commensurate with the risk that i am putting on given that the bonds are unsecured and will be ranked alongside all other unsecured debt. 

Personally, I will give it a miss. You can always purchase from the open market when there is better clarity on the success of some of its upcoming projects. The bond price is not going to run away from you in a rising interest rate environment.

Hi, just interested to know. What is the issue with the company's cash flow being financed by debt? Especially if the same industry competitors' cash flow are also being financed by debt? Isn't it like a normal industry practice then?

Thanks!
