OVERVIEW |
The consolidated results of the financial performance of 807 selected large public limited |
|

|

|

|

The composition of assets and liabilities as at the end of March 1998, remained broadly the same |
|
as in the previous year. The share of net fixed assets in total assets increased from 47.2 per cent in 1996-97 to 50.0 per cent, whereas that of inventories declined from 14.5 per cent in 1996-97 to 13.5 per cent.

|

|
cent in the previous year) while the proportion of borrowings went up by 1.4 percentage points to 39.6 per cent in 1997-98. Borrowings together with reserves and surplus accounted for about 74.4 per cent of the total liabilities in 1997-98. There was an increase in debt-equity ratio from 59.3 per cent in 1996-97 to 60.0 per cent in 1997-98. The current ratio (ratio of current assets to current liabilities) declined from 1.3 in 1996-97 to 1.2 in the year 1997-98. |
|
SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS |
The total funds raised by selected companies was of the order of Rs.32,725 crore in 1997-98 |
|
as against Rs.38,537 crore in the previous year. The role of external funds in financing the asset formation continued to be substantial and accounted for 62.8 per cent of the total funds (Table 5). |
|
Borrowings accounted for a greater share in the external funds, increasing from 66.4 per cent in |
|
1996-97 to 71.1 per cent in 1997-98. The share of debentures in total borrowings increased from 9.7 per cent in 1996-97 to 26.8 per cent in 1997-98. The share of bank borrowing in total borrowings declined from 25.2 per cent in 1996-97 to 18.5 per cent in 1997-98. Of the funds raised from the capital market during 1997-98 amounting to Rs.2,628 crore, as much as 64.2 per cent was by way of premium on shares and the balance was net issues. In fact, premium on shares alone accounted for 5.2 per cent of total funds as compared to 7.3 per cent in the preceding year. Internal sources of funds were depleted to the extent of Rs.1,283 crore and stood at Rs.12,174 crore in 1997-98 mainly on account of a 31.3 per cent decline (Rs.2,060 crore) in reserves and surplus. Depreciation provision which formed the major component of internal resources of finance increased to Rs.7,020 crore in 1997-98 from Rs.6,187 crore. Its share in internal funds increased to 57.7 per cent in 1997-98 from 46.0 per cent in 1996-97. |
|
The total assets formation of the selected 807 companies was of the order of Rs.32,725, crore in |
|
1997-98 which was lower by Rs.5,812 crore (15.2 per cent) compared to the level of Rs.38,537 crore observed in 1996-97 (Table-5). Gross capital formation amounting to Rs.26,466 crore accounted for 80.9 per cent of total assets formation in 1997-98. Inventory build-up was of the order of Rs.1,483 crore as against Rs.2,211 crore in 1996-97. Its share in total assets formation reduced to 4.5 per cent in 1997-98 from the earlier year's level of 5.7 per cent. |
|
Performance of Companies by Size of Sales |
It is observed that companies with large sales base, generally recorded better rate of growth in |
|
sales during the year under study (Table 7). The growth in sales ascended from negative (-16.9 per cent) for the class of companies with sales of 'Less than Rs.25 crore' to 8.1 per cent for companies with sales of 'Rs.1000 crore and above'. In the case of gross profits also, for companies with sales upto 'Rs 500 crore', the growth rates though negative progressively turned more favourable till it registered a positive growth for companies with sales range of 'Rs 500 - Rs 1000 crore' at 3.7 per cent. For the top sales range companies, however, the profits had more or less remained stable (0.2 per cent). Retained profits depict a somewhat similar picture, till the sales size attains the Rs.500crore - Rs 1000 crore range. The companies have not been able to sustain the levels of retained profits at the previous years' levels. |
|
It would appear that sales size has a bearing on profit margins. The profit margin on sales was the |
|
lowest at 4.7 per cent for the class of companies with sales of 'Less than Rs.25 crore' and peaked at 14.8 per cent for companies with sales of 'Rs.1000 crore and above' (Table 8). While for companies with sales of 'Rs.1000 crore and above' exports formed 7.1 per cent of their sales in 1997-98, for companies in the lower size classes of sales, the share was in the range of 7 to 13 per cent. Inventory-sales ratio was 37.8 per cent in companies with sales of 'Less than Rs.25 crore' group but was much lower at 16.3 per cent for the companies with sales of 'Rs.1000 crore and above' in 1997-98. The debt-equity ratio of the companies with sales of 'Rs.25 crore -Rs.50 crore' was the highest at 81.3 per cent and was 54.9 per cent for companies with sales of 'Rs.1000 crore and above'. Tax incidence was the highest at 82.3 per cent for the companies with sales 'Rs.50 - Rs.100 crore', whereas for companies in the other size classes, except the smallest sales class, it fluctuated between 21 per cent and 49 per cent. |
