Note: These are selected operating metrics, not a complete financial statement. Investors should review the DRHP's audited revenue, profit, asset quality and capital adequacy disclosures before evaluating the IPO.
The company proposes to use the net proceeds from the fresh issue to strengthen its Tier-I capital base. This capital is intended to support future lending growth and help the company meet applicable RBI capital adequacy requirements.
A portion of the proceeds will also be used to cover IPO-related expenses.
The money raised through the OFS will go to the selling shareholders after applicable expenses and taxes. Hero FinCorp will not receive the OFS proceeds.

The DRHP identifies four selling shareholders for the OFS:
The document proposes an OFS of up to ₹1,568.13 crore in total.
Investors should consider the following risks before evaluating the proposed IPO:
Credit risk: Loan defaults or delays in repayments can affect earnings and asset quality.
Funding and capital requirements: As a lending business, Hero FinCorp needs sufficient capital to support its loan book and comply with regulatory requirements.
Competition: Banks, NBFCs and digital lenders compete for retail and MSME customers, which can affect pricing and margins.
Regulatory risk: Changes in RBI rules and other financial regulations may affect lending operations and capital requirements.
Valuation risk: The DRHP dated July 31, 2024, does not specify the final IPO price band. Valuation cannot be properly assessed without the final offer price and updated financial information.
Before making an investment decision, investors should review the final IPO price band, issue dates, lot size, valuation, profitability, asset quality, capital adequacy and latest financial results.
The company's AUM and customer base indicate the scale of its lending operations. However, these figures alone do not establish whether the IPO is attractively valued.
