Industry Dynamics
The
Engineering and Technology services industry is a very niche sector that caters
to a specific target market which includes infrastructure development projects
including motorways, exploration and production sites, private sector projects
including solar and wind power generation, different industrial sectors along
with providing equipment to high scale projects including hyper malls, banks
and hospitals etc. The industry is heavily dependent on import of equipment and
spare parts. Thus, exposing the players to cyclicality, import restrictions and
duties and foreign exchange risk.
Relative Position
Limited players compete in the
industry due to the nature of the business and niche services. Major
competitors include Allied Engineering & Services (Pvt.) Limited
(Caterpillar), S.M. Jaffer & Co (FG Wilson), R.A Engineering &
Services, Power Zone Engineering & Services (FPT and Perkins). In
providing Engineering and Product Support services, the Company faces
competition from Greaves Pakistan (Pvt.) Limited and Jaffer Group of
Companies apart from the plyers mentioned above. Relative positioning in this
type of industry is based on brand of equipment and customer relationship and
loyalty. In manufacturing of diesel generators, Caterpillar is the global
leading brand followed by Cummins. While in the gas gensets category, INNIO
Jenbacher and Waukesha are the desirable brands. OES being the only
authorized dealer of these manufacturers have an advantage over its peers.
Revenues
As of 3QFY25, the Company reported
Net Revenues of PKR 7,181mln (FY24: PKR 10,937mln). Sale from Product Support
and Services along with Solar and Wind contributed to revenue. Remaining
portion of the revenue comes from Services and Installation of equipment.
Margins
The Company’s Gross Profit Margins
has decreased from 29.4% SPLY to 28.4% in 3QFY25, however, the revenue has
increased when compared to FY24 revenue stated at 23.9%. It also increased to
2.1% in 3QFY25 as compared to 1.7% in SPLY.
Sustainability
The Company has an
established market presence as a reliable and dependable power and industrial
engineering solution provider. The Company and its sponsors are actively
seeking future opportunities to expand their business portfolio in the power
solution sector in order to sustain their market presence and operations in the
country.
Financial Risk
Working capital
The company's working capital
management is a function of its inventory management along with receivable
and payable days. Receivables against sale of equipment and services stood at
PKR 3,086 as of 3QFY25 which in turn contribute to high Gross Working Capital
Days of 284 days as on March 2025. The Company manages its payables
accordingly to report Net Working Capital days of 183 days for the same
period.
Coverages
As of June 2024, the Company’s interest coverage ratio (EBITDA/Finance Cost) stood at 2.8x, reflecting a slight moderation to 2.5x by 3QFY25. Nonetheless, this remains a notable improvement compared to the corresponding period last year, when the ratio was recorded at 2.0x, indicating a strengthened capacity to meet interest obligations through operating earnings. The Debt Payback Ratio stood at a low 0.6x as of June 2024, primarily attributable to elevated short-term borrowings undertaken to support working capital requirements. These borrowings are typically settled by year-end, as evidenced by the decline in short-term debt from PKR 2,598 million in March 2024 to PKR 1,680 million in June 2024, reflecting effective cash flow management.
Capitalization
The
Company has a moderately leveraged structure as a result of borrowings to fund
its receivable delays and imports. As of March 2025, the Company leveraging
stood at 34.6% (March 2024: 44.8%) as a result of short term loans to meet the
operational expenses.
