Profile

Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (PSMCL) is a public limited company with its shares quoted
on Pakistan Stock Exchange. The Company was formed in August 1983 in accordance with the
terms of a joint venture agreement between Pakistan Automobile Corporation Limited
(representing Government of Pakistan) and Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) Japan.The
Company started commercial production in January 1984 with the primary objective of
progressive manufacturing, assembling and marketing of Cars, Pickups, Vans and 4x4 vehicles
in Pakistan. The Company’s long term plans inter-alia include tapping of export markets.

The foundation stone laying ceremony of the Company’s existing plant located at Bin Qasim
was performed in early 1989 by the Prime Minister then in office. By early 1990, on completion
of first phase of this plant, in-house assembly of all the Suzuki engines started. In 1992, the
plant was completed and production of the Margalla Car commenced.

Under the Government’s privatization policy, the Company was privatized and placed under the
Japanese management in September 1992. At the time of privatization, SMC increased its
equity from 25% to 40%. Subsequently, SMC progressively increased its equity to 73.09% by
purchasing remaining shares from PACO. The Suzuki Management immediately after
privatization started expansion of the existing plant to increase its installed capacity to 50,000
per annum. The expansion was completed in July 1994.

However the capacity remained substantially underutilized until 2002 because of economic
recession. Thereafter realizing growth in demand, the Company increased capacity in phases.
The first phase was completed in January 2005 when capacity was enhanced to 80,000
vehicles. The second phase was completed in January 2006 and capacity was raised to
120,000. The third phase was completed when on 6th February 2007, Prime Minister of
Pakistan, Mr. Shaukat Aziz inaugurated 150,000 vehicles capacity expansion facilities.

On 25th April 2007, the Board of Directors of Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited (PSMCL) and
Suzuki Motorcycles Pakistan Limited (SMPL) approved Scheme of Arrangement (The Scheme)
to amalgamate SMPL into PSMCL with effect from 1st January 2007. The scheme was
approved by the shareholders of the respective Companies at the Extra - Ordinary General
Meeting held on 30th June 2007. The scheme was sanctioned by the Honourable High Court of
Sindh (the court) on 17th September 2007. The certified copy of the Order of the Court
sanctioning the scheme was filed with the Registrar Companies Karachi on 1st October 2007,
from which date the scheme became operative.
PSMCL and Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) Japan held 41% and 43% shares in SMPL
respectively. Pak Suzuki issued and allotted 1,233,300 ordinary shares of Rs.10/- each to the
qualifying shareholders of SMPL @ one ordinary share in Pak Suzuki for every twenty one
shares held by SMPL shareholders as on the date of final book closure i.e. 29th October 2007.
The trading in shares of SMPL on Karachi and Lahore Stock Exchanges ceased from the same
date.

The Company setup a new plant for motorcycles at Bin Qasim. All the operations of motorcycles
have been shifted to the new plant effective from July 2011. The Company continues to be in
the fore-front automobile industry of Pakistan. Over a period of time, the Company has
developed an effective and comprehensive network of sales, service and spare parts dealers
who cater to the needs of customers and render effective after-sale service country wide. Joint
Venture Agreement was signed between Pak Suzuki Motor Company Limited and Tecno Pack
Telecom (Private) Limited to set up Tecno Auto Glass Limited (“TAG”). TAG’s main area of
operations will be manufacturing, development and designing of Auto Glass products to cater
local as well as international Markets.

Analysis

Gross Profit Ratio:

The Gross Profit Ratio indicates the proportion of sales revenue that exceeds the cost of goods
sold (COGS).

In 2022, the Gross Profit Ratio increased to 5.76%, reflecting a better ability to control
production costs.

Over the years, there has been a consistent improvement in the Gross Profit Ratio, suggesting
efficiency in managing production costs.

Operating Profit Margin:

The Operating Profit Margin represents the percentage of profit generated from operating
activities.

Negative values in 2022 and previous years indicate operational losses. There might be
challenges in managing operating expenses and generating sufficient revenue.

Continuous negative margins may require a review of cost structures and business operations
for efficiency.

Pre-tax Margin (Financial Cost Ratio):

The Pre-tax Margin signifies the percentage of profit before taxes relative to net sales.

Negative margins indicate losses before tax. The business may be experiencing financial
challenges, and the cost structure needs evaluation.

Net Profit Margin (EAT):

The Net Profit Margin reflects the portion of sales that translates into net profit.

Negative margins suggest overall losses, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive review of
cost management and revenue generation.

Return on Equity (ROE):

ROE measures how effectively the company is utilizing shareholders' equity to generate profit.

Negative ROE in 2022 indicates a loss relative to equity. This is a concerning sign, and
strategies to improve profitability and/or reduce equity should be considered.

Return on Assets (ROA):

ROA gauges how efficiently assets are used to generate profit.

Negative ROA in 2022 suggests challenges in utilizing assets effectively to generate profits.
A consistent negative trend in ROA requires a thorough examination of asset utilization
strategies.

Interpretation:

The negative profitability ratios across various metrics in 2022 and preceding years indicate
financial challenges.

Key areas for improvement include cost management, operational efficiency, and revenue
generation.

The business should conduct a detailed financial and operational analysis to identify root
causes and implement corrective measures.

Consideration of restructuring strategies, cost-cutting, and revenue enhancement may be


necessary to improve overall profitability.

Collaboration with financial experts or consultants might be beneficial in formulating a


comprehensive turnaround strategy.

LIQUIDITY RATIO
Current Ratio:

Current Ratio=Current Assets / Current Liabilities

2022: 0.35 2021: 0.90 2020: 1.43 2019: 1.30 2018: 1.40

Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio):

Quick Ratio=Current Assets - Inventory - Prepayment / Current Liabilities

2022: 0.25 2021: 0.59 2020: 0.99 2019: 1.06 2018: 0.97

Analysis

Current Ratio:

The Current Ratio measures the company's ability to cover short-term obligations with its short-
term assets.

In 2022, the current ratio is significantly lower at 0.35, indicating a potential liquidity issue and
challenges in meeting short-term obligations.
A declining trend from 2018 to 2022 suggests a consistent deterioration in the company's short-
term financial health.

Quick Ratio (Acid-Test Ratio):

The Quick Ratio provides a more stringent measure of short-term liquidity by excluding
inventory and prepayments.

In 2022, the quick ratio is 0.25, further emphasizing the potential liquidity challenges, as it is
lower than the current ratio.

The declining trend from 2018 to 2022 indicates a weakening ability to cover short-term
obligations without relying on the sale of inventory.

Interpretation:

The notable decline in both the Current Ratio and Quick Ratio from 2018 to 2022 suggests a
deteriorating liquidity position.

A Current Ratio below 1 indicates that the company may struggle to meet its short-term
obligations with its current assets.

The Quick Ratio being lower than the Current Ratio indicates that the inventory might not be
easily convertible to cash, adding to liquidity concerns.

The company may face challenges in paying off its short-term debts, and potential cash flow
issues could affect day-to-day operations.

It is crucial to identify the root causes of the declining liquidity trend, such as inefficient working
capital management, high short-term liabilities, or declining cash reserves.

The company should consider implementing measures to improve liquidity, such as optimizing
inventory levels, negotiating better credit terms with suppliers, or exploring additional financing
options.

Continuous monitoring of liquidity ratios is essential, and proactive measures should be taken to
address any emerging issues promptly.

2022: 3.53 days

2021: 4.15 days

2020: 2.56 days

2019: 4.41 days


Analysis

Inventory Turnover (ITO):

Inventory Turnover measures how efficiently a company manages its inventory by indicating
how many times it sells and replaces its inventory during a period.

In 2022, ITO is 5.94 times, which indicates that the company is selling and replacing its
inventory approximately 5.94 times during the year.

The increasing trend in ITO from 2019 to 2021 suggests improved efficiency in managing
inventory.

Receivable Turnover (RTO):

Receivable Turnover assesses how well a company collects payments from its customers.

In 2022, RTO is 4.93 times, indicating that the company is collecting payments from customers
approximately 4.93 times during the year.

The increasing trend in RTO from 2019 to 2022 implies an improvement in the company's ability
to collect receivables promptly.

Payable/Creditor Turnover:

Payable Turnover measures how quickly a company pays its suppliers.

In 2022, Payable Turnover is 7.34 times, suggesting that the company is paying its suppliers
approximately 7.34 times during the year.

The increasing trend in Payable Turnover from 2019 to 2022 indicates a more frequent payment
cycle.

Operating Cycle:

The Operating Cycle represents the time it takes for a company to convert its inventory into
cash.

In 2022, the Operating Cycle is 3.53 days, showing the company takes approximately 3.53 days
to complete one operating cycle.

The decreasing trend in the Operating Cycle from 2019 to 2022 indicates an improvement in the
efficiency of the company's operating cycle.

Interpretation:

The increasing trends in Inventory Turnover and Receivable Turnover suggest improved
efficiency in managing inventory and collecting receivables over the years.

A higher Payable Turnover indicates that the company is paying its suppliers more frequently,
potentially leveraging favorable credit terms.
The decreasing trend in the Operating Cycle implies that the company is becoming more
efficient in converting inventory into cash.

Overall, these activity ratios suggest that the company has been successful in optimizing its
inventory management, improving receivables collection, and efficiently managing its payables,
contributing to a shorter operating cycle.

Analysis

Total Assets Turnover:

Total Assets Turnover measures how efficiently a company utilizes its total assets to generate
sales.

In 2022, Total Assets Turnover is 1.59 times, suggesting that the company generates $1.59 in
sales for every $1 of average total assets.

The decreasing trend in Total Assets Turnover from 2019 to 2022 indicates a potential decline
in the efficiency of utilizing total assets to generate sales.

Total Fixed Assets Turnover:


Total Fixed Assets Turnover assesses how well a company utilizes its fixed assets to generate
sales.

In 2022, Total Fixed Assets Turnover is 17.21 times, meaning the company generates $17.21 in
sales for every $1 of average total fixed assets.

The decreasing trend in Total Fixed Assets Turnover from 2019 to 2022 suggests a potential
decline in the efficiency of utilizing fixed assets to generate sales.

Interpretation:

A decreasing trend in both Total Assets Turnover and Total Fixed Assets Turnover may indicate
a decline in the company's efficiency in utilizing its assets to generate sales.

It's essential to investigate the reasons behind these trends. For instance, an increase in total
assets without a proportional increase in sales could contribute to lower turnover ratios.

A detailed examination of the company's investment decisions, asset management strategies,


and business operations is necessary to identify the factors influencing these ratios.

Additionally, a comparison with industry benchmarks can provide insights into how the
company's asset efficiency ratios compare to its peers.

lower ratio is generally favorable, indicating lower financial risk.

The decreasing trend in the Debt to Assets Ratio from 2019 to 2022 suggests a positive trend,
indicating a lower reliance on debt to finance assets.

A ratio below 0.5 indicates that more than half of the assets are financed by equity.

company's assets. A lower ratio is generally considered less risky.

compared to equity.

relative to equity.A higher ratio implies higher financial risk.
The increasing trend in the Financial Leverage Ratio indicates a rise in financial leverage from
2019 to 2022.

A ratio above 1 suggests that the company relies more on debt than equity to finance its assets.

Interest Coverage Ratio:

The Interest Coverage Ratio assesses a company's ability to cover interest expenses with its
operating income.A higher ratio is desirable as it indicates better capacity to meet interest
obligations.

The negative values indicate that operating income may not be sufficient to cover interest
expenses in the given years.

The declining trend from 2019 to 2022 raises concerns about the company's ability to meet
interest obligations.

Interpretation:

The decreasing Debt to Assets and Debt to Equity Ratios suggest a positive financial trend,
indicating a lower reliance on debt for asset financing.

The increasing Financial Leverage Ratio implies rising financial risk due to increased reliance
on debt.

The negative trend in the Interest Coverage Ratio requires careful attention, as it indicates
potential challenges in meeting interest payments.

Recommendations include monitoring debt management strategies, exploring options to


improve interest coverage, and assessing the overall impact on financial stability.

Recommendation:
Operational Efficiency: Implement cost-saving measures to address the increase in
distribution and selling costs, ensuring efficient resource allocation.

Financial Health: Monitor and manage the increasing trend in short-term finance and employee
benefit obligations to maintain financial stability.

Investment Strategy: Reevaluate the investment portfolio strategy to reverse the declining
trend in long-term investments.
Conclusion:
The financial analysis reveals both strengths and areas for improvement. While revenue and
gross profit show positive trends, operational expenses require attention. Liquidity ratios indicate
a need for effective working capital management. The company's investment portfolio and debt
ratios should be carefully reviewed to ensure a balanced and sustainable financial structure.
Overall, a proactive approach to cost management and strategic financial planning will
contribute to long-term financial health and stability.
