The company wishes to offer fresh issue of equity shares worth INR 405.4 mn along with sale by existing investors (non-promoters) worth INR 5 bn. The price band has been set at INR 286-288 per share.
The company is engaged in manufacturing and selling of wide range of premium and mid-premium biscuits and premium bakery products under the brand name Mrs. Bector's Cremica and English Oven respectively across both domestic and international waters, but mainly concentrated in North India. The company also draws a significant chunk of revenue (16.8% in F20) by supplying bakery products such as buns to institutional clients (located in India) such as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/burger-king-india" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28445:1" rel="noopener">Burger King India (BKI IN)</a> , <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/mcdonald-s-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1425:1" rel="noopener">Mcdonald's Corp (MCD US)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/yum-brands-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:984:1" rel="noopener">Yum!

In this insight, we do not focus deeply on the operational performance of the company but rather put an emphasis on the overall health of the balance sheet along with a deep focus on governance. While there are some balance sheet issues that need to be questioned, the company however poses itself a huge ESG risk in future due to all sort of problems that attack the overall governance.

As per Technopak, BFS is one of the leading manufacturers in the non-glucose biscuit segment in Northern India. It is also one of the largest supplier of buns to the quick-service restaurants and a leading supplier of breads in Delhi NCR and Maharashtra. In addition to its Indian operations, exports account for 30% of the revenue.
Despite providing a host of numbers, the company has failed to provide clear statistics on the growth of revenue of its main segment, domestic biscuits. If one tries to back out this numbers from the other statistics it seems to imply that revenue has been flat for five years. Despite showing some revenue and PATMI growth over the past five years, cash flow from operations as well have been stagnant.
