Asset Turnover Ratio Trend
The Asset Turnover Ratio (Sales / Total Assets) has shown a declining trend over the past three years. For FY2023, it was `0.81x` (Sales ₹2,048 Cr / Total Assets ₹2,543 Cr). By FY2024, it fell to `0.86x` (₹3,154 Cr / ₹3,688 Cr). In FY2025, it dropped further to `0.90x` (₹3,787 Cr / ₹4,202 Cr). For the latest trailing twelve months (TTM ending Mar 2026), the ratio is `0.84x` (₹4,819 Cr / ₹5,770 Cr). The ratio has remained below 1x, indicating that the company generates less than a rupee of sales for every rupee of assets.Quarterly Trend (Recent 8 Quarters)
On a quarterly basis, the ratio has fluctuated. In Q1 FY2025 (Jun 2024), it was `0.28x` (₹1,160 Cr / ₹4,202 Cr annualized). It improved to `0.20x` in Q2, `0.21x` in Q3, and `0.22x` in Q4 FY2025. For FY2026, Q1 was `0.22x`, Q2 `0.27x`, Q3 `0.30x`, and Q4 `0.35x` (annualized). The quarterly trend shows a gradual improvement in asset utilization in recent quarters.Comparison with Industry Peers
The company's asset turnover is lower than some EMS peers like Kaynes Technology (around `1.2x`) and Amber Enterprises (around `1.5x`). This suggests Syrma SGS is less efficient in generating sales from its asset base, which could be a concern for capital-intensive operations.Impact of Recent Acquisitions and JV
The company's asset base has grown significantly due to acquisitions (e.g., 60% stake in Elcome for ₹235 Cr in Dec 2025) and a JV with Kaga Electronics for a new EMS facility. These investments have increased total assets, temporarily pressuring the asset turnover ratio. As these new assets become operational and contribute to revenue, the ratio is expected to improve.
🟡
The declining asset turnover ratio indicates that Syrma SGS is becoming less efficient in utilizing its assets to generate sales, which is a concern for capital efficiency. However, recent investments in capacity expansion may improve utilization over time, so investors should monitor future quarters for a reversal in trend.
