Reliance Securities: The IPO is valued at 60.2x FY21 EV/EBITDA and 7.3x FY21 EV/Sales, at a slight discount to the recently listed Devyani International, which appears justified due to Devyani’s better margin profile. Fast food culture under QSR is expected to flourish in India due to increase in working class population and continuous urbanization. We note that the QSR business model is quite impressive, as each restaurant franchise begins to generate significant ROE at the restaurant level when it reaches a utilization level of >90 percent, which bodes well for long-term investors. Also, the better cash flow generating capacity of the business provides comfort. Hence, we recommend to SUBSCRIBE this issue for a long term perspective.
