Non-recurring items

One-off items management describes in its own discussion of the results. They are real, but they do not come from day-to-day operations and may not repeat, so an analyst would set them aside when judging the recurring business.

The short version

Start here. The story in a few minutes, with every fact tied to the page it came from.

Here’s what almost nobody noticed: while the board claims there is no pending litigation involving group companies, a direct search points to active legal proceedings. That contradiction is the first red flag you need to look at before you invest in the HD FIRE PROTECT IPO.

AI-written summary of HD Fire Protect Limited's filings. Verify against the source documents.

So how is this equity offer structured? The document breaks down the total shares being offered into several investor categories. For instance, the total offer involves 2,62,84,500 equity shares with a face value of ₹5 each, aggregating to ₹712.13 Crore. This total is then split into specific portions like the QIB and Anchor Investor groups.

  • The total offer involves 2,62,84,500 Equity Shares with a face value of ₹5 each, aggregating to ₹712.13 Crore. p.80
  • The QIB Portion is calculated as 1,31,06,680 Equity Shares with a face value of ₹5 each, aggregating to ₹355.19 Crore. p.80
  • The Anchor Investor Portion is 78,64,008 Equity Shares with a face value of ₹5 each. p.81

So how is this company's financial performance tracking? Looking at the Profit and Loss statement, we see a clear trend in revenue growth. Revenue from Operations jumped from Rs. 372.9 crore in FY24 to Rs. 432.8 crore in FY25, which is a 13.1% increase. That growth continued, as revenue hit Rs. 489.3 crore in FY26, showing a 14.5% annual growth rate from FY24 to FY26.

  • Revenue from Operations was Rs. 372.9 crore in FY24 and grew to Rs. 432.8 crore in FY25. p.131
  • Revenue from Operations reached Rs. 489.3 crore in FY26, marking a 14.5% growth from FY24. p.131

When we look at the profitability, the numbers show a significant margin. The net profit in FY26 was Rs. 116.8 crore, which translates to a 23.9% margin. This is important because it shows how efficiently the company is converting its sales into actual profit.

  • Net profit for the year was Rs. 116.8 crore, resulting in a 23.9% margin. p.131

Finally, let's check the cash flow side. Cash generated from operations shows a strong correlation with the accounting profit. Cash generated was Rs. 133.1 crore in the latest period, which is 79% of the accounting profit, indicating that the core business is effectively generating cash.

  • Cash generated from operations was Rs. 133.1 crore, which is 79% of the accounting profit. p.142

One major concern is the fragility of the supply chain, which relies on multiple vendors across different geographies. The company faces risks from potential delays or non-performance by these suppliers, which could directly disrupt production and impact output. This is compounded by the fact that a significant portion of raw materials and manufactured goods are imported from countries like China, exposing the business to currency fluctuations and geopolitical crises.

  • The company faces risks related to supplier performance and the availability of raw materials and contract manufactured goods, which can disrupt production and impact output. p.28
  • A substantial portion of raw materials and contract manufactured goods are sourced from various countries, exposing the company to currency fluctuations, trade restrictions, and geopolitical uncertainties. p.26

The operational environment is highly exposed to external market shifts, particularly those originating from global markets. Adverse changes in conditions affecting industries where the company supplies products could materially affect its financial condition and future prospects. Furthermore, tariff measures, like those imposed by the US administration, could create market uncertainties and impact profitability.

  • Adverse changes in the conditions affecting industries in global markets where products are supplied could materially affect the business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and future prospects. p.26
  • Tariff measures, such as those imposed by the US administration, could affect Indian businesses with significant exports to the US by creating market uncertainties and impacting profitability. p.28

Finally, the company operates under a complex web of legal and regulatory requirements across different jurisdictions. This includes import-export regulations, local product certifications, and foreign currency controls. The complexity of managing sales teams and distribution partners across these multiple jurisdictions significantly increases both operational risks and the overall cost of doing business.

  • The company is subject to several legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements across jurisdictions, including import-export regulations, local product certifications, and foreign currency controls. p.26
  • The complexity of managing supply chains, sales teams, and distribution partners across multiple jurisdictions increases operational risks and costs. p.28

When we look at the legal standing of the company, the filing claims there are no outstanding criminal proceedings against the company or its promoters. This is stated on page 360, which sets a baseline for the company's current legal standing.

  • No outstanding criminal proceedings were found against the Company. p.360

However, the filing does outline a Materiality Policy for civil litigation, which uses thresholds based on turnover, net worth, or profit/loss. Specifically, the threshold for 2% of turnover for Fiscal 2026 is set at ₹9.71 Crore, as noted on page 360.

  • The materiality threshold for 2% of turnover for Fiscal 2026 was ₹9.71 Crore. p.360

On the regulatory side, the company confirms that the offer was authorized by the Board on April 3, 2025, and received in-principle listing approvals from BSE and NSE on November 6, 2025. This shows the process was moving forward with exchange approvals.

  • The offer was authorized by the Board resolution dated April 3, 2025. p.375
  • In-principle listing approvals were received from BSE and NSE on November 6, 2025. p.375

We need to look at who controls this company before the IPO. The filing shows that the promoters—which includes the Chairman and Managing Director—hold a very significant stake. Harish Narshi Dharamshi holds 56.13% of the pre-Offer issued, subscribed, and paid-up equity share capital.

  • Harish Narshi Dharamshi holds 56.13% of the pre-Offer issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital. p.280

When we look at the breakdown of the promoter group, we see the individual stakes. Kusum Harish Dharamshi holds 17.83%, while Miheer Sadanand Ghotikar holds 10.49% of the pre-Offer equity capital.

  • Kusum Harish Dharamshi holds 17.83% of the pre-Offer issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital. p.280
  • Miheer Sadanand Ghotikar holds 10.49% of the pre-Offer issued, subscribed and paid-up Equity Share capital. p.280

The key takeaway here is that the promoters collectively own 95.33% of the pre-Offer equity. Furthermore, the document confirms there has been no change in control within the last five years immediately preceding this Prospectus.

  • The promoters collectively hold 95.33% of the pre-Offer equity capital. p.282
  • There has been no change in control in the Company during the last five years immediately preceding the date of this Prospectus. p.282

Bottom line

So, to summarize, we've looked at the numbers—from the solid revenue growth and profit margins to the significant supply chain dependencies and the regulatory landscape. It boils down to this: the filing paints a picture of a company with strong operational performance, but also with inherent external risks tied to global markets and complex legal structures. That's the picture the filing paints—what you make of it is up to you.
