Devyani Pre-IPO

Devyani International Limited (DIL), Yum Brand’s largest franchisor in India, aims to raise around US$200m via its Indian IPO. The IPO will be a mix of primary and secondary shares.

DIL operates a chain of quick service restaurants (QSRs) in India. Its core business is to operate KFC, Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee in India. It operated 655 stores across 155 cities in India, as of Mar 2021. These include 264 KFC stores, 297 Pizza Hut stores and 44 Costa Coffee stores. It also operates stores in Nepal and Nigeria for KFC and Pizza Hut. In addition, it also runs its own brands Vaango, Food Street, Masala Twist, Ile Bar, Amreli, and Ckrussh Juice Bar in India. Yum owns over 4% stake in the company.

The company’s FY21 growth was impacted by COVID-19 with revenue and gross profit down 25% in FY21, while EBITDA was down 11% YoY. Although, its core business managed to do relatively better with a 14% drop in revenue.

Nonetheless, the company still managed to increase its store count in FY21 and has been aiding stores organically as well as acquiring existing ones from Yum.

On the concerning side, SSSG was weak even in FY20, especially for Pizza Hut and Costa Coffee. In addition, the number of Costa Coffee stores have been declining as the company failed to meet the terms of its arrangement with Costa Coffee
