IPO Activity Is Up, But Examine Each Offering Carefully
Andrew Leckey

In a year of other IPO gains by familiar names such as Hyatt Hotels (H) and Vitamin Shoppe (VSI), the average first-day IPO price "pop" has been 7 percent and the average overall return 10 percent. But don't get the impression we've returned to the wild-and-crazy IPO markets of the past.

Sensata IPO: Investors Could Push for Lower Price Despite Fundamentals
Renaissance Capital IPO Research submits:

With roots dating back to 1916, this former division of Texas Instruments (TXN) was LBO'd by Bain Capital in 2006 for $3 billion. Sensata Technologies (ST) is a leading global manufacturer of customized sensors (60% of sales) and controls (40%) that are used to improve safety and energy efficiency in mission critical applications, from braking systems in cars to heating, ventilation and air conditioning in commercial and residential markets.

The company plans to offer 31.6 million shares, including 5.3 million from insiders, at a price range of $18-$20. Morgan Stanley (MS), Barclays (BCS), Goldman Sachs (GS), BofA Merrill Lynch (BAC) and J.P. Morgan (JPM) are acting as joint bookrunners on the deal. If successful, Sensata will be the largest IPO of 2010, easily eclipsing the $315 million IPO from insurer Symetra (SYA) in late January.

Anthera Off to a Humble Start
The Burrill Report submits:

Freshly minted shares of Anthera Pharmaceuticals (ANTH) sold for just half their original target price during the company's March 1 IPO, raising merely $42 million instead of the anticipated $70 million. Concurrently, the company completed a private placement of about 2.6 million shares, raising an additional $17.1 million, for a total of approximately $53.8 million.

Anthera, which focuses on inflammation-associated diseases, also gave a little more than 500,000 shares to Eli Lilly (LLY) and Shionogi and Co. (SGIOF.PK) to pay down a $3.5 million milestone payment for the initiation of a trial for its lead drug, A-002, a treatment for acute coronary syndrome.
Not surprisingly, the $7 per share IPO was delayed and disappointing for optimists hoping the development-stage biopharmaceutical would light the way to a shining 2010 full of lucrative offerings with fellow IPO adventurer Ironwood Pharmaceuticals (IRWD).
Ironwood fared little better. Its shares went for $11.25 a piece, well below the company's $14 to $16 target and nearly half were sold to its top private investor, Morgan Stanley (MS).
Anthera's shares have clung fairly close to their original price since their open, falling as low as $6.90 and rising as high as $7.39, but they have consistently closed within a nickel of $7.10 during the first four days of trading.

Facebook: In No Rush to Go Public
Tate Dwinnell submits:

image The biggest IPO story since Google (GOOG) will continue to leave investors wondering. While the Facebook IPO will happen, there are still no imminent plans with founder Zuckerberg saying “we’re definitely in no rush,” according to a WSJ article today. He makes a good point in that the company is in the envious position of not requiring massive capital to build factories or even market the product, so the same motivations for going public quickly aren’t there. Adding to the delay may be the fact that Zuckerberg, as the WSJ points out, is a micro manager who may be having a tough time relinquishing some control of the company of which he owns 25% of and controls voting power.

However, an IPO will take place as investors and shareholders have been promised and the company has been taking measures to prepare for it. In 2008, the executive team was expanded, highlighted by the hiring of Google exec Sheryl Sandberg and adding Netscape founder Marc Andreessen to the board. Of course, the rumors, speculation and predictions are flying and many think the company will go public next year with a market cap of nearly $40 billion based on the current revenue numbers and applying a multiple similar to that of Google. The company apparently was cash flow positive last year and believes revenue could reach $2 billion this year.

Lessons From Mead Johnson's IPO Stock Spin-Off
John Clark submits:

When Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) did the stock spin-off of its Mead Johnson (MJN) nutritional unit I wasn’t too excited about it, because I figured that it didn’t fit the successful spin-off stock model that tends to create a value situation. But I overlooked one way that it did create value, and that turned out to be an important one.

Generally, the simple stock spin-off in which shares of the new company are distributed to current shareholders of the parent company is the easiest kind for me to understand. People get shares whether they want them or not. For various reasons many of them don’t want or can’t keep the shares they receive, so they sell them soon after the spin-off which drives the price down below where it “ought” be by common measures of value.

IPO Market Vigilantes Push Back on New Issue Valuations
Renaissance Capital IPO Research submits:

Sensing vulnerability among companies needing to raise cash in the public market, IPO market vigilantes began pushing back on new issue valuations in late 2009, with the pressure increasing sharply in 2010. An unusually-high 69% of year-to-date IPO offerings have priced below the expected range, well above the 28% average for the 2001-2009 period, as stingy investors and renewed economic uncertainties have backed issuers into a corner. The average deal is getting done at a sizeable -16% haircut to the proposed midpoint (the post-tech-bubble average is -3%) but these discounted valuations have not yet translated into higher near-term returns.

Disappointed Buyers
A common heuristic says that an IPO investor asks for a 10%-15% valuation discount to compensate for the incremental risk of an unseasoned equity. Using first-day pop as a proxy for this discount, it appears that the guideline generally held between 2005 and 2008, with the average IPO returning nearly 12% in its first trading session. Those willing to enter the IPO waters in the first half of 2009, close to the market's nadir, were rewarded with an even-more handsome 18% average first-day pop. Always reluctant to leave too much money on the table, it appears underwriters and issuers responded by raising their asking prices, with first-day returns falling to just over 4% in the second half of the year. Given this erosion in perceived discount levels, IPO vigilantes took matters into their own hands, scrutinizing multiples and pressuring underwriters to price deals below the range.

Nexsan: First Storage IPO Since 2007
Renaissance Capital IPO Research submits:

Nexsan (NXSN), a provider of disk-based storage systems for long-term digital information storage, announced terms for its IPO on Friday. The Thousand Oaks, CA-based company plans to raise $55 million by offering 5,000,000 shares at a price range of $10.00 to $12.00. At the mid-point of the proposed range, Nexsan will command a fully diluted market value of $195 million. Nexsan, which was founded in 2000, booked $63 million in sales for the 12 months ended December 31, 2009. Nexsan has been free cash flow positive for each of the past three fiscal years. The company intends to list on the NASDAQ under the symbol NXSN. Thomas Weisel Partners, Lazard Capital Markets, Needham & Co. and Morgan Keegan are the underwriters on the deal.

If Nexsan is successful, it will mark the first enterprise storage systems IPO since 2007, when three enterprise storage companies went public: Data Domain (DDUP; June '07), Compellent Technologies (CML; October '07) and 3PAR (PAR; November '07). Data Domain, a leader in deduplication technology, was acquired by EMC (EMC) in 2009 for roughly $2 billion following a bidding war with fellow enterprise storage vendor NetApp (NTAP). Compellent and 3PAR, both of which are projected to generate sales in excess of $150 million in 2010, currently command market capitalizations of $485 million and $573 million, respectively.

February: A Slow Month for Life Sciences Dealmaking
The Burrill Report submits:

by Marie Daghlian

This week was a setback for many pre-revenue start-up biotech companies. California biotech Anthera Pharmaceuticals, which expected to go public on Tuesday, pulled back, delaying its planned offering due to a weak IPO market where many companies have had to reduce their offering price to get the deal done. Anthera had planned to raise $69 million by offering 4.6 million shares at a price range of $13 to $15. The California biotech company has three compounds in clinical trials and expects no revenue for several years as it gets ready to launch a phase 3 trial of its lead anti-inflammatory drug candidate. Anthera is backed by VantagePoint Venture Partners, Sofinnova Ventures, and hedge-fund firm Caxton Associates.

Online Marketing Company Reply! Files for $60 Million IPO
Renaissance Capital IPO Research submits:

Reply!, which operates an auction marketplace that facilitates online lead generation and locally-targeted marketing, filed on Monday with the SEC to raise up to $60 million in an initial public offering. The San Ramon, CA-based company, in which Scale Venture Partners owns a 21% stake, was founded in 2001 and booked $34 million in sales in 2009, up 47% over the prior year. Reply! plans to list on the NASDAQ under the symbol RPLY. Jefferies (JEF) and Piper Jaffray (PJC) are the lead underwriters on the deal, for which pricing terms and timing were not disclosed.

Reply! is the third online marketing company to file for an IPO in the last four months, following the November 2009 filing of QuinStreet (QNST) and the December 2009 filing ReachLocal (RLOC). QuinStreet, which is the largest of the three with close to $300 million in sales, successfully complete a $150 million IPO earlier this month, but was forced to price almost 17% below the midpoint of its proposed range. Trading in the Foster City, CA-based company has been lackluster, with the stock currenty sitting 9% below its $15 offer price.

IPO a No-Go for RedPrairie
The 451 Group: Inorganic Growth submits:

By Brenon Daly

Scratch another name off the list of IPO candidates. RedPrairie, which had filed to go public in late November, instead sold on Tuesday to buyout shop New Mountain Capital. The sale moves the supply chain management software vendor from one private equity portfolio to another. (We understand that the two book runners on the proposed offering – Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse Securities – both advised RedPrairie on the deal.) In mid-2005, Francisco Partners acquired the company for $237m and subsequently rolled up another half-dozen smaller shops. Ahead of the proposed offering, Francisco owned 90% of RedPrairie.

QuinStreet Is Getting More Interesting
Kris Tuttle submits:

We published a research report that provided a preview of the QuinStreet (QNST) IPO and noted that the main problem we saw was the too-high filing range. The mid-point at the time was $18 and didn’t leave much upside to our intrinsic value (IV) estimate of $21.

Subsequently the investment banks (Credit Suisse, Bank of America and JP Morgan) reduced the price to $15 and got the deal done at a more favorable valuation for investors.

How the Chinese IPOs Are Faring
China OTC Player submits:

A month ago, four Chinese IPOs came onto the market, got priced and their shares began trading on major U.S. stock exchanges. Four weeks later, three of these are still at sub-IPO prices. This doesn't bode well for the primary issuance market and is a clear indication of the lack of enthusiasm for Chinese stocks in general. Let us look more closely at how these stocks fared.


Andatee China Marine Fuel Services (AMCF)
Bookrunner: Rodman & Renshaw
Exchange: NASDAQ
IPO Price: $6.30
IPO Date: 1/26/2010
Initial Indicated Range: $6.00-$8.00
Final Indicated Range: $6.00-$8.00
Last Closing: $6.00
Absolute Returns: -4.8%

IPO Candidates May Finally Have an Attractive Offer
The 451 Group: Inorganic Growth submits:

By Brenon Daly

Even though the public market has been fairly choppy lately, there seems to be no shortage of companies willing to step into the uncertain waters. We’ve seen a number of recent IPO filings, as companies get their final 2009 numbers in order and look ahead to a possible summer offering. The problem is that few of the would-be debutants actually look all that attractive. Included in the current lineup of IPO candidates are a deeply money-losing company that will stay in the red for at least the next two years (Tesla Motors) and a barely baked company that generated a grand total of $36,000 in revenue last year (Vringo).

IPO Market Challenged But Forging Ahead
Renaissance Capital IPO Research submits:

Despite the tough market newly-public companies have faced in recent months, IPO activity is forging ahead with six new companies filing to go public on Tuesday, the highest same-day number since July of 2007.

The IPO market has faced challenges since the beginning of 2010. Of the eleven companies that were scheduled to go public earlier this month, five postponed their offerings, while the remaining six all cut their deal sizes by an average of over 30%. Further, only three of these six witnessed positive first day returns. Even as investors hold the cards in the current environment and pressure financial sponsors to make valuations more attractive, only companies with strong fundamentals and promising growth prospects are finding success.

Hogarth added that "Companies are filing [for IPOs] and that there is optimism for those companies, but there is also a pervasive sense of caution. "It's earnings that matter."
