V3 Brands Asia Pre-IPO

V3 Brands Asia is looking to raise about US$500m in its upcoming Hong Kong IPO. It was previously listed on the SGX between 2000-2016.

V3 Brands Asia is a lifestyle and wellness firm, it is most known for its flagship massage chairs which are sold under the OSIM brand. As per CIC, the OSIM brand is the top brand amongst the Premium Massage Chairs Market in Asia, as per 2020’s retail sales.

V3 Brands has recorded a bounce back post-COVID as its average revenue per store surged. Margins have expanded as well, the latter owing to operating leverage and the firm’s partnership with Daito-OSIM, which has provided the majority of the firm’s goods. The OSIM brand is also a market leader in an industry that is expected to see its growth rate pick up.

However, the firm has decided to exclude some of its other businesses for this listing and has paid the founder and Pre-IPO investor large payouts just prior to listing, the latter funded by debt. In our view, the firm had also struggled to strategically place its stores evident by the store closures. Aside from the lack of more granular data as well, it also has the overhang of a PE investor.
