Much has been talked about the horrowing financial results of corporate India in FY12 which was blamed on the high interest rates. But, we went a little further and analysed Nifty company’s aggregated major heads of cash flow statement, excluding the banking and finance sector companies, and Bajaj Auto since it has a history of less than 5 years. The analysis further compounds the current distressed situation.
• Cash from operating activity is the most important parameter to judge the operating activity performance of a compnay
• We found that cash from operating activities was worst in FY-12
• Cash outflow of investment activities has fallen compared to FY11 because of business uncertainities and high interest rates
• The last time capital expenditure witnessed a fall was in 2009 post the sub-prime crisis
