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.

Singapore IPOs Tikams for 2018

2018 is a year to be forgotten for IPOs on the Singapore Exchange. SGX "failed" to attract any significant listings and most of the listings are currently underwater as shown by the table below.

Mr. IPO has been reporting his IPO tikams (performances) since 2012. You can search for the prior posts here.  How did he perform in 2018?

Contrary to even my own expectations, 2018 turned out to be the best year i ever had because of a few significant "bets".

Majority of the gains came in the first half of 2018 and significantly from the RTO of Memories Group, which i took a significant placement shares , so technically it is not an IPO but I have classified it in the IPO category. The top 3 gains are as follows:
  1. Memories Group $ 19,471
  2. Asian Healthcare $  8,371
  3. SLB Development $ 3,366
While i have fared well in the IPO tikams, my personal portfolio suffered a big loss when i wrote down Hyflux Perps to 10% of its par value. At this juncture, I am not even sure if i can recover the written down value and i will blog about them in a separate post on  my passive income pursuit.

I think 2019 will continue to be challenging for the Singapore IPO market with SGX struggling to attract companies to list here. The market should continue to stay volatile in the first half and beyond that, it will be challenging to predict how the markets will perform. 

That is all from me for now. I take the opportunity to wish all readers good health, happiness and a wonderful 2018!
