analysis? Identify potential risks and key success factors pertaining to raw material prices, price pass-on power to consumers, level
of product diversification and technology? What is the industry’s future outlook?
Courier, storage and transportation sectors play a very important role in boosting the economic activity in the country. Demand for
these services has always been there and ever increasing and it is directly linked with the growth in population. Success factors are
directly linked with reliability and speed which is essential for any courier service provider. TCS group is one of the largest courier, e-
commerce, logistics and distribution service provider in Pakistan. TCS presently handles around 60,000 shipments per day and has
around 15,000 corporate customers across Pakistan. Secondly TCS is constantly diversifying and adding new services based on

Honda, Unilever, P&G, Engro, GSK, and Novartis to name a few. In the banking industry TCS has managed to capture 70% of the
market share, in the telecom industry around 90%, 70% of the textile industry’s market share and 75% of the automobile industry
now use TCS logistic services.
Future outlook of the industry looks good with satisfactory economic growth and development which is a primary driver for courier

TCS has relations with 10 banks which provide it with considerable financial flexibility. Despite the availability of numerous financing
options, the company’s primary reliance is on its own cash flows and utilization is dependent on the pricing.
N/A
6. Security/Support
a. Estimate and comment on level of reliance, forced sale value, marketability and realizability of the collateral security.
Level of Reliance:
Our primary source of repayment will remain the cash flows from operations, and secondary source of repayment will be Joint Pari
Passu charge on current assets with 25% margin to be covered by joint Pari Passu charge over fixed assets. The level of reliance is
considered to be low in case of collateral, owing to the legal implications involved in realization of hypothecated assets.
Marketability:
The raw material inventory includes specialized products such as pre-fabricated structures, allied machinery and office supplies, which
has a moderate secondary market. In addition, the major portion of current assets is in the form of stock which also has a moderate
level of marketability. Moreover, the margin obtained in security would ensure loss coverage (if any) at the time of realization to the
extent of 25%.
Realizability:
Legal complications involved in a hypothecation charge make it difficult to liquidate the charge and therefore, the realizability of
charge is considered to be low but we still feel that occurrence of such an event is considered to be negligible due to TCS group’s
strong market reputation.
7. What must happen to cause the customer to default? Highlight in order of priority significant risks associated
with the exposure. Identify mitigants, if any. Identify and elaborate on at least five risk factors. Provide rationale for
accepting risks that do not have any mitigants.
8. Sources of Repayment
a. Primary Source(s)
Comment on the quality and likelihood of being paid from primary sources of repayment for the proposed exposure. Evaluation, in
this regard, to be based on/ supported by the financial projections (base case/downside) covering the life of the exposure. Use
coverage ratios, leverage and strength of free cash flows etc. as a guide.
The strength of the company's cash flows provides sufficient comfort in terms of repayment capacity with Gearing Ratio at 2.6x and
Net Cash generated from operations at PKR 133Mn. Consistency in these cash flows is expected to continue during the tenor of our
facilities.
b. Secondary Source(s)
a. Comment on market perception of the customer in relation to refinancing from other financial institutions. Are
banks offering facilities to the customer? Do financial indicators support market perception?
The company has a long list of banks in their portfolio; hence the option of arranging finances is high.
b. Comment on other sources e.g. for government owned entities, the support of the government to ensure that an entity
does not go bankrupt due to its strategic importance or reputation implications etc. or in the cases where
personal/corporate guarantees are available, proceeds from their enforcement.
N/A
c. For facilities where structured take outs are available e.g. bills discounting, comment on source(s) of repayment i.e.
realization of receivables.
N/A
9. Relationship

TCS group is one of the sought after names in the industry with a niche position in the courier and logistic sector. It is a good source of
