Unique Feature
Before spending money, they go through the unique forensic framework to explore the following: “CLEAR.”
C – Cashflow evaluation & Capital Allocation. No damns are given about earnings that aren’t linked to a cash flow conversion. Instead of relying on the amount of money coming in, they dig into the source of cash flow.
L – Underwriting Analysis, actual vs reported debt, contingent liability and likely future earnings implications
E – Analysis of Actual vs Expected Earnings, True Economic Profit vs Reported Profit, Discretionary vs non-discretionary profit
A – Asset Quality Analysis, Some worrisome points – huge built up in loans and advances, a large quantum of long duration inventories/receivables susceptible to value diminution, large payables are supporting large receivables/inventory, profits getting re-deployed in non-core/expensive/uncertain inorganic growth, profits getting into intangible assets/goodwill – without visibility of commensurate profitability, subsidiaries/JVs which require a constant infusion of profit without any visibility of returns.
R – Governance concerns of another company and related party transactions.
Carnelian Asset Management is an investment company that focuses on real estate and marketing as well.
