In the financial year of 2012 and 2013, we see a great dip especially towards the graph in the
long term borrowing and equity graph of Wipro ltd.as it reduced from 22,022 to 590. There are
several factors that contribute due to the sudden dip in the system but the main reason was that
the Company entered into an arrangement with a consortium of banks to obtain External
Commercial Borrowings (ECB) during the year ended March 31, 2008. Pursuant to this
arrangement, the Company has availed ECB of approximately 35 billion Yen repayable in full
in April 2013. The ECB carries an average interest rate of 1.94% p.a. The ECB is an unsecured
borrowing and the Company is subject to certain customary restrictions on additional
borrowings and quantum of payments for acquisitions in a financial year.
In the financial year of 01/04/2017-31/03/2018, Wipro made certain acquisitions in the
market due to which there was a sudden requirement & consequent increase in long-term
borrowings to make those acquisitions, which also lead to a decrease in the interest coverage
ratio.
The company saw a growth at the end of March 2019, as the company chose to fund its
growth through long term borrowings between April 2017- March 2018, hence the revenue
from operations increased by 8% and the net profit by 9%.
They realized ` 26,103 million from the sale of our hosted “Data Centre Services”. They
have used part of the proceeds to partially repay their long-term borrowings in some of their
acquisitions, hence a significant decrease in long-term borrowings in the financial year from
April 2018-March 2019.
It can also be seen the equity share capital remains stable till March 2017 and increases in
the financial year starting from April 2017 and goes on till the end of FY 19. However, between
April 2019 and March 2020, we can observe a slight decrease in the equity share capital which
can be noticed due to buy back of equity shares.
When the Debt Equity Ratio is observed for a period of 10 years, we observe the ratio has
somewhat stabilized over the years, from 0.22 it has fallen to 0.11, which means the ratio of
debt is lesser now and is closer to the equity share capital employed by the company.
The expected growth cycle for the future of the company goes through in regard to its equity
is as follows:
This is believed due to the crashing and recession of the economy due to a global pandemic
COVID-19 therefore the reduction in long borrowing and equity for 5 years and knowing the
company, they will reach a faster break even than the rest of the industry.
