Centrum Broking Report

V-Mart Retail Ltd. agreed to acquire the business of ‘Limeroad’ for a consideration of Rs 670 million on a slump sales basis paying for its exiting liabilities.

This acquisition would cement its footing to attract digital first millennial customers as ‘Limeroad’ already holds 17 million loyal customer base.

Further V-Mart plans to invest ~Rs 800 million (~20% of its Ebitda) over next two-years to scale-up customer base and setting up back end infrastructure.

Management said to be confident to achieve sustainable profitability in one year. V-Mart paid ~0.9 time price to sales for acquiring ‘Limeroad’ to firm up its omni channel strategy.

Management alluded strong synergies for long term as there is strong overlap with V-Mart’s core markets and similar target group customers settled in non-metro and tier-I markets with household income less than Rs 5 lakhs and age group of 15-40 years.

We strongly believe, this acquisition would give leg-up to V-Mart in building its digital aspiration.
