Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

Currently, the company is debt-free and does not feel the immediate need for borrowings. Working capital is managed internally without incurring debt at this stage. The company may consider borrowings for working capital in the future if required, but no plans are stated for immediate fundraising. There is no mention of any intentions for equity fundraising in the current discussion. The focus is primarily on cost-consciousness and sustainable growth rather than seeking new external funding at present.

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

Mazda has recently completed a large Capex, especially for the food division, involving investment in new machinery and expansion to meet growing consumer demand and regulatory requirements (Page 10, 21, 24). The engineering division is not planning any Capex for the next 2-3 years, as current facilities can scale up to about ₹250 crores in revenue (Page 7). The recent Capex for the food division includes investments in continuous processing machinery and facility expansion after nearly 20 years with minimal prior investments (Page 10). Strategic investments also include heavy investment in hu

Future growth expectations in sales/revenue/volumes?

The company expects around 15% growth in top-line revenue for FY 2023-24 compared to the previous year, with bottom-line growth roughly in line. Continued substantial growth in inquiries and visibility is driving new customer acquisitions and increased sales from existing customers. Established brand presence with products on more shelves and in more markets supports organic growth and repeat orders. In the food business, new product launches (e.g., natural flavoring essences, soups with new variants) and capacity utilization post-Capex will contribute to growth over the next 3-5 years.

Future growth expectations in earnings/operating earnings/profits/EPS?

(Page 5) Profitability was suppressed in Q1 due to depreciation from recent Capex, but excluding depreciation, profitability improved compared to Q1 2022.

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

The order book was around ₹130 crores in May 2023 and remains close to that as of the latest update (Page 20). The current year's order book is considered safe enough to cover one year of business (Page 16). There has been growth in orders, including from refineries and petrochemical segments (Page 3, 7). The company manages a backlog from last year, which has helped boost turnover (Page 5). Competition is intense, making order inflow somewhat slow currently (Page 16). The engineering division can scale up to around ₹250 crores with the current facility without requiring new Capex for 2-3 year
