Sectorial outlook – The retail market in India was valued at $ 796 billion in FY 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.23% to reach $ 1,077 billion by FY 2025. The Indian footwear retail market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% from Fiscal 2020 to Fiscal 2025, and 21.6% from Fiscal 2021 to Fiscal 2025, being one of the fastest-growing discretionary categories from Fiscal 2021 to Fiscal 2025. The segment of sports and athleisure footwear is highly under penetrated per capita as compared to developed economies and is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, with a CAGR of 14% between Fiscals 2020 and 2025. Some of the factors that will contribute to its growth are growing incomes, increasing working-age population, shrinking household size, urbanization, heightened exposure to the internet, and the meteoric rise of e-commerce.
The financials (revenue and net profit) are shown in the graph below:
Valuation – For the last 3 years average EPS is Rs. 1.34 and the P/E is around 218x on the upper price band of Rs. 292. The EPS for FY21 is Rs. 0.88 and the P/E is around 332x and if we annualize FY22 earnings then the asking price is at a P/E of 78x. Bata India (PE 354) and Relaxo (PE 101) are their listed peers as per the RHP. The company P/E is between 78x and 332x, and looking at the industry average P/E, the listing seems to be fully priced. Recommendation – Campus is India’s largest and fastest-growing sports and athleisure footwear brand and it has been able to maintain a good margin even during the covid lockdowns and looking at the underpenetrated sports and athleisure footwear segment in India when compared to other developed economies, the company seems to have great potential. After considering all the factors we would recommend investors to “Subscribe” to this IPO from a medium to long-term perspective.
