A figure under 10% is generally considered a ‘low float’ stock which can be subject to significant price volatility.\nManagement says it will use the net proceeds from the IPO as follows:\n\n Approximately $75.0 million to continue funding the expansion of our direct sales force and commercial organization related to BAROSTIM NEO in the U.S.;Approximately $12.0 million to fund research and development activities related to BAROSTIM Therapy; andThe remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes. (Source)\n\nManagement’s presentation of the company roadshow isavailable here.\nListed bookrunners of the IPO are JPMorgan, Piper Sandler, William Blair and Canaccord Genuity.\nValuation Metrics\nBelow is a table of relevant capitalization and valuation figures for the company:\n\n\n\nMeasure [TTM]\nAmount\n\n\nMarket Capitalization at IPO\n$296,717,728\n\n\nEnterprise Value\n$170,592,728\n\n\nPrice / Sales\n41.24\n\n\nEV / Revenue\n23.71\n\n\nEV / EBITDA\n-13.70\n\n\nEarnings Per Share\n-$0.97\n\n\nFloat To Outstanding Shares Ratio\n33.70%\n\n\nProposed IPO Midpoint Price per Share\n$16.00\n\n\nNet Free Cash Flow\n-$16,946,000\n\n\nFree Cash Flow Yield Per Share\n-5.71%\n\n\nRevenue Growth Rate\n66.47%\n\n\n(Glossary Of Terms)\n\n\n\n(Source)\nCommentary\nCVRx is seeking public investment capital for its continued commercialization efforts.\nThe company’s financials show the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its revenue trajectory in 2020 as hospitals cut back on patient access to its products.\nRevenue growth and gross profit appears to have rebounded significantly in Q1 2021, although some of this growth may represent pent-up demand and may not necessarily be representative of a more sustainable growth path going forward.\nFree cash flow for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021, was negative ($16.9 million).\nSelling, G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenue grew sharply in 2020 as revenue growth stalled during that period; its Selling, G&A efficiency rate has since increased to 0.3x in Q1 2021.\nThe market opportunity for providing neuromodulation approaches to heart failure are significant and the firm appears well positioned to take advantage of a growing elderly patient population as the U.S. geriatric population grows substantially over the coming years.\nJPMorgan is the lead left underwriter and IPOs led by the firm over the last 12-month period have generated an average return of 36.8% since their IPO. This is a mid-tier performance for all major underwriters during the period.\nThe primary risk to the company’s outlook is the reimbursement process and penetration, both within the U.S. and internationally, which varies greatly from region to region.\nAs for valuation, management is asking investors to pay an EV/revenue multiple of 23.7x, which appears to be priced for perfection, especially so soon after its sales were negatively affected by the pandemic.\nWhile CVRx will likely have an impressive growth year in 2021, paying nearly 24x trailing EV/revenue and 41x on a price/sales multiple is excessive in my view.\nExpected IPO Pricing Date: June 29,
