Important things to note about the Company:
Top reasons to consider the IPO:
1. Signature Global is recognized as the premier developer of affordable and mid-range real estate in Delhi NCR, with a wealth of experience in managing projects in these categories.
2. Signature Global is a well known brand and has an extensive distribution network, and powerful digital marketing skills, all of which contribute to swift sales. Indeed, a significant portion of the company’s sales in the Gurugram and Sohna area, as well as under the AHP, are made directly.
3. Signature Global possesses a well-established brand, robust distribution network, and digital marketing prowess, leading to accelerated sales. A notable 45.85% of sales in Gurugram and Sohna and 55.69% under the AHP are direct.
4. Signature Global is an active member of the IGBC and is committed to environmental sustainability, implementing green building concepts in projects to reduce carbon impact and increase green cover.
5. Signature Global has implemented uniform business procedures that allow it to provide top-notch housing solutions to its clients. In the majority of its projects, it utilizes aluminum form-work technology, which not only accelerates the construction process but also guarantees the production of robust and superior quality structures.
Risk Factors to watch out in the IPO:
1. Signature Global’s business and profitability are significantly dependent on the performance of the real estate market in the Delhi NCR region, particularly in Gurugram and Sohna micro-markets in Haryana. The majority of its revenue is generated from these locations, and fluctuations in market conditions may affect its ability to sell projects at expected prices, adversely affecting revenues and earnings.
2. Signature Global’s business and financial performance is dependent on policies such as the Affordable Housing Policy. Any withdrawal of such policies by the Haryana government could certainly affect the company’s revenue and operations.
3. Signature Global is engaged in the development of residential real estate projects for customers in the affordable and mid housing segment, predominantly in Gurugram and Sohna micro-markets. Its success is dependent on its ability to anticipate and respond to consumer requirements.
4. An increase in land prices or shortages of land available for development could have a material adverse effect on the company’s operations. The availability of developable land, particularly in Delhi NCR and Haryana, is limited, making the acquisition of new land highly competitive and costly.
5. As of now, 16.85% of its commercial completed project units remain unsold. The risk of owning unsold inventories can be substantial, and their market value can fluctuate significantly due to changing economic and market conditions. If Signature Global is unable to sell its current unsold inventory, its financial condition may be adversely affected.
