Blue Moon Group Pre-IPO

Blue Moon Group plans to raise around US$1bn in its Hong Kong listing. The company is backed by Hillhouse who first invested in the company in 2010.

BMG is a consumer household care company in China, which sells its products in three main categories: fabric care, personal hygiene and home care. As per Frost & Sullivan, it has been the market leader in liquid laundry detergent, liquid soap and concentrated liquid laundry detergent market over 2017-19.

While sales have grown at 11.88% CAGR over FY17-19, gross profit has grown at 22.89% CAGR while PAT has grown even faster at 253% CAGR, essentially growing by 12.5x. At the same time, the company has also shown an ability to launch new brands and products.

Online sales have been the fastest growing distribution channel for the firm. However, the online sales channel appears to be the only one that has grown steadily and that too mostly due to the company widening its distribution online. Its offline sales have been flagging. At the same time its operating cash flows haven’t kept pace with earnings. In addition, a part of its margin expansion has been due to reduction in employee strength and ad expenses.
