hi muthukumar,
regarding ur queries
1). In their q4 fy 14 presentation (available on their website), they mention that during the year they incorporated a US subsidiary MPS North America LLC which acquired the assets of Element LLC. The contribution from the subsidiary would be the difference between standalone and consolidated numbers.
2). I think calculating from standalone and conso numbers, one can deduce that subsidiary sales was 9 crores and net profit was minus 1.2 crores. (Element was acquired midway during May 2013 ------ I guess it would take some time for the management to have a meaningful impact…I expect better results from its subsidiary in the subsequent quarters)
3). Impact of inducting his son as CMD … this would have to be seen how it pans out…
4). Dehradun facility has 2000 seats and current occupancy is 600 seats. So idle capacity could be put to use for incremental business. (the emkay report provides this details)
5). Question number 5 should be asked by anyone attending the AGM in chennai. I tend to look at the whole picture of the company.
6). The 20% cagr growth assumption was put up in the emkay report in May 2014. Management has indicated their strategy to attain growth through organic and inorganic (Element LLC) initiatives in their presentation for q4 fy 14.
For me the maths is :
What is the current price factoring in? What kind of growth does markets expect from MPS at current prices?
Is there a possibility to get a strong response from markets to a positive surprise in terms of unexpectedly good sales/profit growth.
The company currently does present a nice mix of attributes for disproportionate returns.
1). possibility of good growth (which if materialises would reward shareholders handsomely)
2). High promoter holding
3). Capable management – the proof lies in their demonstrated track record after taking over an ailing company in 2011 and getting it on track within 2-3 years and in the meantime providing shareholders with decent dividends
4). Clean balance sheet.
5). High ROE and high dividend payout ----- always a great combination and if it is present in a company showing growth, it inevitably leads to a winning stock.
I think next 2-3 quarters should provide answers to whether growth comes about or not.
