In June 2003, DTL formed a joint venture with Cadmus (its largest client), called KGL. DTL holds only 20% stake in KGL, with Cadmus holding the balance 80%. The transition process of transferring the existing business to and doing new business through the JV is already on, on a monthly basis, and, by FY 2005, the management expects the contribution of Cadmus to DTL`s consolidated sales to fall to just 8-10%. As Cadmus is into scientific technical and medical publishing business (STMP), only the STMP business that it or DTL gets will go to the JV. Notably, Cadmus is the market leader in STMP business and commands a huge 35% market share in the US. The management feels that the 20% stake in the business that it gets through the JV would be much more than what DTL would have got had the company gone ahead on its own to garner the STMP business. However, in the short term, this transfer of business is bound to affect the company`s financials. Interestingly, Cadmus has the right to acquire the balance 20% of the stake at its own will in or after June 2006. In April 2004, DTL came out with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of 1,03,00,000 equity shares comprising a fresh issue of 85,00,000 equity shares and offer for sale by promoters of 18,00,000 equity shares. Post-issue, the promoters` stake will fall from 92.83% to 68.95%. DTL`s price band of Rs 101 to Rs 110 discounts the nine-month annualised EPS of Rs 6.8 on post-issue equity in the range of 14.9 to 16.2 times.
