Ethos, luxury and premium watch retailer, has fixed price band for its Rs 472-crore IPO, at Rs 836-878 per share of face value of Rs 10 each. The issue will open subscription on 18 May and close on 20 May, while the anchor book will open one day prior to IPO opening, i.e. on 17 May. The public issue consists of a fresh issue of shares worth Rs 375 crore and an offer for sale of up to 11.08 lakh equity shares by shareholders and promoters aggregating to Rs 97.3 crore. The size of the fresh issue has been reduced as the company undertook a pre-IPO placement of Rs 25 crore.
There are no listed companies in India that engage in a business similar to that of Ethos. The company has planned to utilise the net proceeds from the offer towards repayment or prepayment, in full or in part, of all or certain borrowings availed by the company of worth Rs 2,989.09 lakh, funding working capital requirements of worth Rs 23,496.22 lakh, financing the establishment of new stores worth Rs3,327.28 crore, financing the upgradation of ERP worth Rs 198.01 lakh, and for general corporate purpose.
The Indian Fashion Industry faced a shift in the late 1990s and early 2000s when International Luxury brands started retailing their products in Multi-Brand Outlets. In 2005, brands like Versace Collections and Corneliani signed their first full franchise agreement. Other luxury brands such as LVMH, Christian Dior, Fendi, Canali, Hugo Boss, Ferragamo, Armani, etc. followed suit when India’s first Luxury mall – Emporio opened in Union Territory of Delhi. Ethos has a portfolio of premium and luxury watches in India, retailing 50 premium and luxury watch brands like Omega, IWC Schaffhausen, Jaeger LeCoultre, Panerai, Bvlgari, H. Moser & Cie, Rado, Longines, Baume & Mercier, Oris SA, Corum, Carl F. Bucherer, Tissot, Raymond Weil, Louis Moinet and Balmain.

- uidance range. Ebit margins at 18.2% were down 140bps and missed estimates due to higher-than-expected employee costs. Profits at Rs 39.8 bn were up 11% y-o-y and were slightly ahead of estimates due to a $21m gain booked on the buyback of senior notes in Q4.
Services miss estimates; Software better than expected: Services business grew 0.6% q-o-q cc and missed HCLT’s Q3FY23 guidance, mainly due to a 3.8% q-o-q cc decline in the ER&D segment. Growth in the IT&BS segment moderated slightly to 1.6% q-o-qcc but was in line with estimates. BFSI and Life Sciences were the key growth drivers, while communications were the drag among verticals. Growth was led by the Americas region, while Europe and ROW posted declines.
Decline in bookings reflects delays in decision-making: HCLT won 10 large deals in services and three large deals in Software with net-new deal TCV of $2.1bn, down 8% y-o-y. Deal wins were driven by the services portfolio, were centered on cost optimisation and vendor consolidation and came mainly from BFSI, manufacturing and Life Sciences verticals. Management highlighted a ramp-down in discretionary spending in Hitech and communications verticals but pointed to a strong deal pipeline.
FY24 guidance in line with expectations: HCLT has guided for 6-8% y-o-y growth for overall business and 6.5-8.5% y-o-y cc growth in services segment and 18-19% margins in FY24—all in line with our assumptions. We maintain our FY24-25 cc revenue growth and margin estimates and expect HCLT to deliver 6.5% cc revenue growth and 18.4% margins in FY24. However, we lower our earnings forecasts by 2% to factor the higher tax rate indicated by the management.

Raise PT: HCLT has fared better in Q4, particularly in North America and BFSI, unlike its peers. However, rising demand uncertainty as a US recession nears remains a concern. HCLT’s stock at CMP trades at 17x PE and offers a 5% yield, which in our view should limit downsides and derating. Hence, we raise our target PE to 17x (16x earlier) and raise our PT to Rs 1,125, offering 8% potential upside.
