TITAN SAYS ‘COMFORTABLE’ WITH DEBT LEVELS, FINANCIAL STANCE BALANCED
Titan is comfortable with the company’s debt levels, affirming a robust and well-balanced financial stance.
The company has a long-term debt of approximately Rs 3,000 crore, primarily associated with the acquisition of Caratlane.
The non-convertible debentures (NCDs) we issued have terms of 18 months and 24 months, and “we plan to repay them within these timelines.” the management said in a post-earnings conference call.
Additionally, the company’s working capital loan is nearly equivalent to or slightly more than the cash reserves they hold. This balanced approach is part of the company’s prudent treasury management strategy, the management noted.
The company’s cash reserves exceed Rs 3000 crore, and equity stands at over Rs 13,000 to Rs 14,000 crore.
