Three companies are on the IPO calendar to raise over $600 million in the first week of August. First Hawaiian (FHB) plans to raise $464 million in the largest US bank IPO since Citizens Financial Group (CFG) was spun out of RBS in September 2014. Offering fast growth and high margins, At Home Group (HOME) will be the first big-box retailer since Ollie's Bargain Outlet (OLLI) in July 2015.
That's a first: First Hawaiian goes public in largest US bank IPO since 2014
Being spun out of BNP Paribas, First Hawaiian (FHB) is #1 in Hawaii by assets, loans, deposits and net income. While the low interest rate environment has eaten into spreads and net income ($215mm) has been flat or down for three years, its efficiency ratio has consistently come in under 50%. The bank plans an initial dividend of 3.6% - above that of key peer Bank of Hawaii (BOH).
IPO HOME
At Home Group (HOME) is set to raise $130 million to pay down debt ($407mm post-IPO; 3.4x LTM adj. EBITDA). LBO'd in 2011, the home décor retailer operates 115 large-format stores and plans to open an additional 22 per year moving forward, with a long-term potential of 600 US locations (5x current footprint). Sales have grown at a 3-year CAGR of 20%, with nine consecutive quarters of positive comp store sales growth. Selling unbranded and private label products (70% of SKUs) has led to strong EBITDA margins (18% in LTM), but those margins have declined in each of the past three years.
Motif Bio (MTFB), a UK-listed biotech, plans to raise $35 million in order to complete Phase 3 trials for iclaprim, an antibiotic for multi-drug resistant bacteria.
