Jyoti CNC Automation Limited has experienced financial setbacks, leading to losses and a negative return on equity in the past. These losses may impact future growth prospects and limit the ability to take actions such as declaring dividends.
The company carries significant indebtedness with substantial debt servicing obligations. A high debt-equity ratio and a low debt-service coverage ratio pose risks to liquidity and debt servicing if sufficient cash flows from operations are not generated. As of September 30, 2023, the company's total sanctioned and outstanding loans stood at Rs. 1280.54 crores and Rs. 976.887 crores, respectively. The company has availed unsecured loans aggregating Rs. 82.035 crore for general corporate purposes, which may be recalled at any time, potentially impacting profitability and future growth.
The company does not enter into long-term purchase contracts with its customers and is therefore dependent on its customer-relationship management. This exposes it to the risk that may arise from the inability to retain established customers in the long run.
