Novotech Holdings / Equity Capital Markets

Novotech is a leading biotech focused contract research organization in Asia Pacific. The company is looking to raise up to USD 1.5bn via a Hong Kong listing.The company has a long history of operation since 1997 and was formed by a merger of two companies. It has a customer focus on biotech companies with its flexible services, particularly services in the clinical research stage. We like the company's leading market position in Australia/New Zealand and South Korea. The company is run by a decent team and has obtained investments from a strong line-up of investors. It has been growing at a rate above the industry average but it only turned profitable in 2020. Looking at the company's pre-IPO valuation, we think the investors have been bullish on the prospect of margin improvement.
