Valuation


Based on the price of the Placement Shares and the Group’s historical net earnings per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2018, the Group’s price-to-earnings ratio, calculated using it's pre-IPO issued and paid-up share capital is 19.5 times and PB is 4.26 times.





Conclusion


52% of the group outlets in Australia and New Zealand are
leased from landlords of major shopping centers. The group also has a central kitchen which will serve the operations in Australia and New Zealand.


What I like about their operating model is the sales are generated by F&B retails and they are not overly dependent on major customers. The group will also expend into Malaysia by setting up a central kitchen and corporate office to support the business in Malaysia.
