PayPal-backed Pine Labs targets $439M IPO in Mumbai

แหล่งที่มา Cryptopolitan

Fintech firm Pine Labs, backed by global investors including PayPal and Mastercard, is making arrangements to raise approximately $439 million in an initial public offering in Mumbai.

The company has set its price band between $2.39 and $2.51 per share, resulting in a post-issue valuation of approximately $2.89 billion for Pine Labs. The IPO will include a fresh issue worth about $234 million and a secondary sale of shares by existing investors, including PayPal and Mastercard.

Initially, the company planned to raise $290 million by issuing new shares and selling a large number of shares held by existing shareholders. However, in its latest filing, the issue of fresher shares and divestiture of shares by existing investors was reduced, allowing the IPO to move closer to implementation.

Anchor investors will be able to wager between November 6th and November 7th, with the general public able to place bets on November 11th. The IPO is being handled by significant banks and investment companies like Axis Bank, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Jefferies.

Pine Labs expands global footprint as profits and merchant adoption rise

Pine Labs is one of the most prominent point-of-sale solution businesses in India and other countries. The company sells tens of thousands of point-of-sale terminals, digital checkout systems, and other fintech products to help the merchants handle their payment systems more efficiently.

It has established its offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. Pine Labs says it is not only becoming more efficient but also becoming more profitable. The firm expanded its geographic and technological reach, establishing a robust international presence.

In recent years, new products and improved services, particularly digital payments and contactless transactions, have attracted more merchants to participate, resulting in higher overall transaction volumes.

Pine Labs deploys IPO funds to expand operations

The proceeds from the fresh share issuance will be entirely used to achieve several strategic goals. For example, a portion of the funds will be used to repay existing borrowings, which, in turn, will lead to a healthier company balance and reduced interest costs.

Moreover, the firm plans to invest in IT infrastructure, cloud platforms, software development, and other digital payment-related technologies that will support the company’s long-term business model. Such investments will enhance the efficiency, speed, and safety of the product.

Lastly, the remaining funds will be used for international operations and expansion in emerging markets, including Southeast Asia and the Middle East. International sales accounted for a significant portion of the company’s revenues the previous year – 21% and 23%, respectively –and this segment has been identified as a crucial business field.

Additionally, customers in several established and new markets expressed a high demand for integrated fintech solutions in consumer markets, while digital payments adoption continued to grow.

Overseas expansion will protect the company from revenue concentration risk. By entering foreign markets, Pine Labs will achieve two objectives simultaneously, as it won’t limit revenue generation to a particular geography. Second, it will not have all its eggs in one basket, i.e., India.

For Pine Labs, going public represents a critical milestone in its evolution from a private fintech startup to a publicly traded company. The reaped benefits are intended to pay down debt, enhance its financial statement, and finance digital infrastructure, as well as software creation investments.

Additionally, the listing is intended to finance the extensive expansion of its global businesses, especially in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where it currently generates more than one-fifth of its income.

With its IPO, Pine Labs will be a critical credibility test for India’s high-growth fintech market investors, with tech-driven payments companies capturing global attention
