17. HOW DO PEOPLE LOOK AT IT?

18. HOWDOESTHEINVESTORLOOKATIT?
Key Points for Investor
• Changing Order Book composition: HCC’s order book composition is changing towards
more profitable segments like irrigation and power which will help the company to
improve its margins
• Liquidity position is in a safe territory and hence the company is in a comfortable
position to raise capital from lenders and get cash needed for its growth
• Company dividend payout has been on a rise YoY
• Strong order book pipeline: CAGR for order inflow stands at 16%
• A long-term pay-back period, possible dilution in earnings as a result of huge capital
necessitated by the nature of projects and execution risks do not augur well for this
otherwise established company’s earnings visibility in the medium term
• Continued to generate greater returns from its assets. ROCE increased from 7.7% to
11.2% (YoY)
Actionable Items
• P/E ratio of 48 is healthy with string order book for the next two years
• Investor should have a long term view for remaining invested

19. HOWDOESTHELENDERLOOKATIT?
Key Points for Lender
• Top Line Growth with net income increasing 30% YoY with strong control on costs
• Debts have been on a rise vis-a-vis equity since 2006 and is a cause of concern
• The interest coverage ratio for FY-07, though comfortable at 3.1 times the profits,
has nevertheless declined from over about 4 in FY-06 to about 2.9 in FY-08. There is
a less chance that interest cost will ease in the current scenario
• HCC has been taking more of unsecured loans which shows a risky profile in case
of default for lenders.
Actionable Items
• should have a long-term view seeing the healthy state of order book and increasing
ROE

20. HOWDOESTHEMANAGEMENTLOOKATIT?
Key Points for Management
• Liquidity even though still at a comfortable level the trend is declining which
management needs to keep a check.
•HCC’s project portfolio have traditionally been long-term in nature and so it is
very important to maintain liquidity
• NPM drastically reduced due to higher interest cost. The management should look
to renegotiate interest terms
• Increased commitments towards real estate subsidiaries indicating tightening
liquidity scenario for the business
• Raising capital: Challenges for management to raise money through capital
markets in the current scenario
HCC Industry
% of CE 2.9 2.3
Actionable Items

• Restructure business: Leverage their skill sets supported by shared services to develop
their newly formed business verticals (construction, infrastructure and real estate)
• Explore the opportunities in real estate segment, BOT, etc. which are not yet explored
to the fullest
• Create a special reserve to meet the future challenges of raising capital
