The company exports new, used, and refurbished construction and mining machinery to over 35 countries, primarily in emerging markets, and is developing its own equipment brand called HexL.
The company claims a moat based on its refurbishment expertise and asset-light model, but the financials show thin net margins (5.2%) and a massive disconnect between revenue growth and EPS. While they are a large non-OEM exporter, the lack of pricing power is evident as they compete primarily on being 20-40% cheaper than major brands.
Management has shifted capital toward building massive overseas inventory (Rs. 70 crores) to move toward a retail model, which has significantly strained cash flows. While ROCE is high, the negative cash conversion suggests capital is being trapped in working capital rather than generating distributable cash.
The aggressive shift toward a retail model backfired as the massive overseas inventory buildup became a graveyard of trapped capital. While revenue appeared to grow, the disconnect between sales and earnings widened as the company lacked the pricing power to offset rising logistics and storage costs. The negative cash conversion cycle eventually forced a liquidity crunch, and the high concentration in the Mexican market left the firm vulnerable to a localized downturn that wiped out the thin margins entirely.
