- The company expects to sustain 50-60% growth largely through internal cash flows and operational efficiency. - Operating cash flow (OCF) is forecasted to generate about 7% of total sales, sufficient to self-fund growth. - Plans to improve asset utilization efficiencies from FY26 onward will aid cash flow. - Inventory and receivables management improvements are expected to result in positive operating cash flow by year-end. - For the EMS business, they anticipate self-funding entirely through OCF. - However, for new projects like OSAT and HDI PC board, additional funding might be necessary. - No explicit mention of new fundraising through debt or equity in the near term. - The company is focused on maintaining a shorter working capital cycle and generating positive cash flows to fund expansion.
