ANNUAL REPORT THREADBARE (ART) | MOTHERSON SUMI FY17: Rising CWIP weighs on RoCE
Motherson Sumi Systems’ (MSS) FY17 annual report highlights an improvement in its operating cash flows to INR38b (FY16: INR21.9b). This was primarily on account of release of working capital of INR6.6b, led by the increase in trade payables by INR19.4b (FY16: INR3.3b) and the continued practice of discounting receivables of INR18.8b (FY16: INR18b). FCF post interest remained negative at INR34.4b on account of high capex (INR27.8b) and acquisitions (INR41.1b). Consequently, debt increased to INR103b (FY16: INR60b). However, D/E was maintained at 1x with dilution and internal accruals. The PKC acquisition led to an increase in intangibles to INR40.3b, 38% of networth (FY16: INR3.4b, 6% of networth). Rising CWIP and cash weighed on RoCE, which stood at 23.5% v/s RoIC ex-CWIP at 32.9%.
Payables boost cash flows: Earnings to cash flow conversion improved to 112% (FY16: 86%). CFO grew 73% to INR38b (FY16: INR21.9b) due to the release of working capital of INR6.6b (FY16: infusion of INR9b). This was led by (a) an increase in payables by INR19.4b and (b) discounting of receivables of ~INR18.8b (FY16: INR18.0b).
Intangibles soar on PKC acquisition: MSS acquired PKC for a consideration of INR40b, recognizing INR16.4b of goodwill and INR20.5b of intangibles (including INR16.7b of customer relationship). This led to an increase in intangibles to INR40.3b, 38% of networth (FY16: INR3.4b, 6% of networth).
