This article explores long-term equity and operating performance of Indian firms issuing initial public offerings (IPOs) backed by venture capital/private equity (VC/PE) funding. Using data for 173 IPOs backed by VC/PE funding during 2000–2016, the article shows that equity market performance of VC/PE-backed IPOs is unimpressive post issue, compared to their peers. This is not only due to market perception but also associated with a declining operating performance. However, information asymmetry, mispricing and ‘timing the market’ by issuing firms do not seem to be the reasons for such long-term underperformance. We argue that it may be a case of too much money chasing too few winners for Indian IPOs and individual rent-seeking activities by managers. The observation raises the question of effectiveness of the monitoring role of venture capitalists or PE funders post the IPO in an Indian context. This is substantiated by our additional finding that sustained monitoring and hand-holding by venture capitalists and PE funders post the IPO cause an improvement in performance. The findings of this study can have significant implications for all stakeholders, particularly common investors in the Indian equity market.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to answer the following three questions about the new capital raised in initial public offerings (IPOs): why do some IPO companies raise a lot of new capital while some others do not? Where do the IPO companies use the new capital they raise in IPOs? How does the use of new capital affect the operating performance of IPO companies? Design/methodology/approach Matching firm approach, univariate and regression tests. Findings This paper finds that companies with higher research and development (R&D) spending, higher capital expenditure, lower working capital and more long-term debt tend to raise more capital in IPOs. These firms also spend more on R&D and capital expenditure. The results also suggest that the more the new capital firms raise in IPOs, the lower operating performance they have in subsequent years. However, firms spending more new capital on R&D and capital expenditure seem to perform better. Originality/value These results help us understand the behavior of IPO firms.

This study attempts to investigate the change in the operating performance of firms as they go from private to public ownership. Using the data of all the non-financial firms, which floated initial public offerings (IPOs) from 2008 to 2015, this study finds that there is a significant decline in operating performance as measured by ROA, asset turnover, ROS, and OCFTA after the IPO and the decline continues for next two to three years with the highest deterioration of operating performance being observed in the immediate next year of IPO. Moreover, when the study uses age, debt ratio, sales, capital expenditure, and IPO event to explain the variation of the operating performance of IPO firms over time, it finds that IPO event negatively affects all measures of operating performance. Finally, the study finds that deterioration of the post-IPO operating performance is more pronounced for firms offering their securities with premium than firms offering securities without premium.

This paper provides some new evidence on the determinants of long run operating and share price performance of Initial Public Offerings (IPO) on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). It has been hypothesised that the information contained in the pre listing documents could shed some light on the aftermarket performance of South African IPO shares. In line with previous literature, South African IPO shares significantly underperformed the market on average. Additionally, there is a statistically significant negative relationship between IPO Volume and long run performance, suggesting that the South African IPO market may be subject to the fads and over optimism theory of Ritter (1991). The overoptimism hypothesis is further cemented by a negative correlation between pre IPO revenue forecast and aftermarket operating performance. Listing expenses play a moderate role in the reduction of the aftermarket performance of IPOs on the JSE. However, it appears that international investment banks have a positive influence on the aftermarket performance of IPOs on the JSE. Likewise, firms audited by the BIG 4 audit firms tend to perform well in terms of aftermarket buy and hold returns. Large firms at the time of listing tend to perform well and firms with high growth prospects at the time of listing generate a negative and significant return on their investment in total assets. Although the contingent liabilities disclosed in the prelisting reports negatively influence most of the measurers of aftermarket performance, the relationship is, by and large, insignificant.
