TVS Holdings Board to Consider Fundraising Via Non-Convertible Debentures on October 23

TVS Holdings is preparing for a significant financial move as the company schedules a board meeting on October 23, 2024

October 16th, 2024 News

TVS Holdings is preparing for a significant financial move as the company schedules a board meeting on October 23, 2024, to discuss the issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) through a private placement. The fundraising will be conducted in one or more tranches, aligning with the company’s long-term strategic financial goals.

NCD Issuance for Strategic Fundraising

In a regulatory filing on October 16, TVS Holdings announced its intent to raise funds via the issuance of NCDs. The board will consider this proposal at its upcoming meeting. This initiative is part of the company's broader financial strategy, aimed at optimizing capital allocation and supporting its ongoing and future business ventures.

The company will issue the NCDs in multiple tranches, providing flexibility in timing and quantum of fundraising based on market conditions and financial needs.

Financial Results to be Reviewed

In addition to the fundraising proposal, TVS Holdings’ board will review and approve the unaudited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter ending September 2024. This review will provide insights into the company’s recent performance and serve as a precursor to upcoming strategic decisions.

Market Reaction

As of October 16, TVS Holdings' share price was trading lower by 0.70%, at ₹13,492.80 on the NSE, reflecting a dip in investor sentiment ahead of the board meeting. Despite the recent decline, TVS Holdings holds a significant market capitalization of ₹27,298.77 crore.

Strengthened Credit Profile and CRISIL Rating

In related news, rating agency CRISIL recently reaffirmed its ‘CRISIL AA’ rating on TVS Holdings’ long-term bank facilities and NCDs. Importantly, CRISIL revised the company’s outlook from ‘Stable’ to ‘Positive,’ citing a healthy improvement in the credit profile of its key operating entity, TVS Motor Company. TVS Motor’s market share growth, particularly in the electric two-wheeler segment, and expansion of its product portfolio and dealer network were key drivers of this improved outlook.

Recent Acquisition of Home Credit India

The proposed fundraising follows a strategic acquisition by TVS Holdings. On September 24, 2024, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved the company’s acquisition of an 80.74% stake in Home Credit India Finance for ₹554.06 crore. Premji Invest and other associates will acquire the remaining 19.26% stake. This acquisition is expected to bolster TVS Holdings’ presence in the financial services sector, significantly expanding its customer base and service offerings.

Key Highlights:

Board Meeting Date: October 23, 2024.
Fundraising Mechanism: Issuance of Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) through private placement.
Ratings Update: CRISIL reaffirmed its rating at 'CRISIL AA' with an upgraded outlook to 'Positive.'
Recent Acquisition: TVS Holdings acquired an 80.74% stake in Home Credit India Finance for ₹554.06 crore.
TVS Holdings Share Price: Trading at ₹13,492.80, with a market cap of ₹27,298.77 crore.

This upcoming board meeting is poised to set the stage for TVS Holdings' next phase of growth and capital expansion, further solidifying its position in the Indian market.
