In its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), DEE Development Engineers claims to be globally recognised for its technical expertise in meeting complex process piping requirements across diverse industrial segments.
Domestic brokerage firms have recommended a ‘Subscribe’ rating to the IPO. However, the following are some of the key risks outlined by the company in its DRHP report:
Key Risks
Dependency on Cyclical Industries: According to the company, any downturn in the oil and gas, power (including nuclear), and process industries could adversely impact its revenue, cash flows, and financial condition.
Concentration of Customer Base: The company said that a significant portion of its revenue is derived from key customers without long-term contracts. The potential loss of these customers or contract terminations could negatively affect its business operations and financial performance.
Intense Competition: The company highlights competition from both domestic and international firms. Inadequate competitiveness in terms of pricing, technology, or service offerings may pose risks to the company business performance, financial stability, and operational results.

Raw Material Price Volatility: The company identifies operational costs heavily influenced by raw material prices. Increases in raw material costs or shifts in customer preferences for suppliers could impact its business reputation, operational efficiency, and financial outcomes.
Technological Integration Risks: According to the company’s disclosures, strategic technological tie-ups with global OEMs or investments may present challenges in integration and management. Failures in these initiatives could adversely affect business operations, growth prospects, and financial stability.
Exposure to Unsecured Loans: DEE Development Engineers discloses their current reliance on unsecured loans, which lenders may demand repayment of at any time. Such demands could potentially disrupt liquidity, cash flows, and overall financial stability.

Financial Performance of Subsidiaries: The company said that its subsidiaries have recorded losses in recent fiscal years and may continue to do so. This situation could significantly impact its overall business performance, financial health, cash flow, and operating results.
Capital Intensive Operations: The company operates in an industry that requires substantial capital for current operations and future expansion plans. Failure to secure adequate additional capital could negatively impact business prospects, financial performance, and overall financial condition.
Utilisation of Net Proceeds: DEE Development Engineers plans to utilise a portion of the IPO proceeds for the repayment or prepayment of existing indebtedness. The allocation of funds towards debt repayment aims to reduce financial obligations but may affect capital allocation for other business initiatives.

Any default in loan repayment obligations could trigger repayment obligations for the promoter and group members, potentially impacting their financial standing and consequently affecting business operations.
