FINAL PROJECT
Vision statement:
To become the leading energy marketing company in Pakistan through operational
excellence, talent management, business diversification and sustainable expansion.
In December 2016, The sales revenue of company was 997 Billion rupees which
increased 74% to 174 Billion in 2017. Then there was 34.5% increase in 2018 and the
sales revenue was all time high in its record, But in 2019 it fell to a 66% Decrease.
Due to the industry-wide contraction in volumes due to slower economic activity
in 2019, drastic decline in volumes for HASCOLs has been due to shortage of
working capital to procure the product, and thus lower sales revenue. This was
because of market distress.
Sale Forecast:
While it is usually unwise to decipher the direction the company’s financials would
take with only 1Q performance at hand, it is quite obvious that HASCOL is in trouble.
Firstly, the first three months of 2020 will follow more than a quarter of much weaker
macro-economic conditions when the lockdown was imposed, and demand restricted
further as the country went through its peak of Covid-19 cases. So there was a chance
of more 30-40% decrease.
Capital Structure:
The core problem for the company, of course, has been the fact that the government
regulates prices of oil products sold in the country and does not adjust prices fast
enough to keep pace with the extent to which prices change in international markets.
As a result, companies are often stuck with inventory that they bought at much higher
prices and are forced by the government to sell at much lower prices. This is
especially a problem for Hascol, which has bigger inventories than any other oil
marketing company.
WACC:
The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a calculation of a firm's cost of
capital in which each category of capital is proportionately weighted. All sources of
capital, including common stock, preferred stock, bonds, and any other long-term
debt, are included in a WACC calculation.
