03. Analysis of Financial Performance 3.1 Monthly Profit / (Loss) for 2018 While analyzing the historical pattern of profit yields of CEB, it is evident for the first half of the year CEB tend to generate downward trend in profits, with dry weather conditions whereas at the latter part of the year CEB is recovering with monsoon rains. In the first quarterly financial performance of year 2018, continuous losses were incurred, with low levels of hydro generation. However the period of June to November (except July/Sep) were profitable with improved hydro conditions. (Refer Annex 1)

Graphic IV – Net Profit/ (Loss) 2018

Source –CEB Financial statements 2018

3.2 Historical Analysis of Profit / (Loss) As discussed above in the point No.3.1, the profit or loss of CEB in a particular year highly depends on the rainfall of that year. According to the past experience, if a year can have more than 35% contribution from hydro sources along with the full operation of Coal power plant, it will help to gain profits in that year assuming no any other major deviations.

3.2.1 Contribution of Hydro Source

Graphic V– Financial Performance 2014-2018

Graphic VI – Hydro units 2014-2018

However with the escalation in commodity prices, namely fuel and coal, CEB was unable to relish on the improved hydro conditions as direct generation cost was escalating simultaneously with increasing demand (Year 2015 was profitable with Rs.20Bn net profits with comparatively less demand and therefore hydro generation was 37%). Particularly the market prices of fuel keep on soaring and CEB has to endure the financial difficulties with the unchanged tariff structure since year 2013.

*Considered only the electricity sales income. It is evident that the cost is escalating at a rapid rate in the recent past with rising commodity prices and the financial management has become a tedious task with fixed tariff rates. In 2013 CEB yielded Rs.18.50/ kWh where as it was brought down nearly by Rs.2.50/ kWh with revised tariff structure announced in 2014.

4.3 Sales & Collection During the recent past, the average collection was 99% of sales made during that year. However, it is noted that there is a delay in collecting cash from long outstanding consumers mainly who are in the ‘more than 3 year’ bucket in the Debtors’ Age Analysis.

4.4 Subsidy and Surplus by CEB to Consumers

Graphic VIII – Subsidy/ surplus 2018

Source – CEB IT / CEB Financial statements 2018

Electricity tariff is offered at a price which is lower than the cost, to consumers at low consumption level in domestic category and most of the other categories excluding general purpose. Hence the high end consumers in domestic category/ general purpose category have to bear the part of this cost in excess. As at 31st October 2018, the total subsidy amounts to Rs.48 Bn and the surplus was recorded at Rs.19Bn before adjusting other income.

CAPEX utilization indicates slow progress over the period, even though the budget has been allocated among capital works to the full extent. In recent past the CAPEX utilization is less than 50% of the budgeted requirement and in 2017 it was 43%. With the prevailing financial constraints, it is important to revisit the capital budget estimates by considering the priorities and the rate of utilization of projects.

The total cost of the year under review is similar to the previous year, even though the direct generation cost is Rs.18Bn higher in year 2017 compared to this year. However operation and maintenance cost of year 2018 is comparatively high with the revised salaries.

Based on the above Table XIII, it makes an understanding that there is over budgeting on expenditure. However, it is the normal situation of early months of every year and it will reduce the difference between budget and the actuals in the latter part of the year with recording of all the expenditure.

12. Observations & Recommendations 12.1 Impending Financial Difficulties for CEB 12.1.1 Observation When analyzing the history of financial performance of the CEB, it is observed that CEB is moving towards a financial crisis situation. Therefore it is vital to make the situation less aggravate to steady the financial position using following recommendations. 12.1.2 Recommendations a) In the Corporate Intent (2017-2019), which was prepared for all prominent State owned enterprises, CEB was allowed a 10% tariff increase from year 2018. Nevertheless no tariff increase is approved since year 2013, and CEB is under a heavy financial burden. Therefore the government and the PUCSL (Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka) has to be persuaded for immediate implementation of the cost pass through tariff mechanism for CEB. b)

If above (a) cannot be persuade, request for the Government subsidy / or kind of financial assistance (Advance from the Treasury or low interest commercial loan) to conquer the present crisis situation.

12.2 Increased stock holding period 12.2.1 Observation When consider the stock holding period (in months), it was noted that Division 01,02, 04, held stock for nearly 09, 06 and 07 months. Further, it is important to take necessary action to remove obsolete and unserviceable stocks included in inventory, as in AM division, 32% of the stock is counted as obsolete and unserviceable stocks) 12.2.2 Recommendation It is recommended to pay due consideration for appropriate lead time and stock holding cost when procurements are made and action to be taken to remove obsolete material form the stocks. It is further recommended to set up benchmark and assign targets to each division. 12.3 Improvements in Trade debtor receivable position 12.3.1 Observation CEB maintains 0.59 (18 days) as the ordinary billing receivable position and 1.36 (41 days) as the bulk supply billing receivable position as at the end of the period under review. According to the existing billing and payment system, it is observed that it takes 03-04 weeks to update the system from the meter reading date which cause the delay in submitting actual sales in distribution divisions and duplicate the data entering process. 12.3.2 Recommendation It is recommended to further improve the bulk supply receivable position in all divisions and to develop a mechanism to accounts the billing information on line real time. 12.4 Utilization of CAPEX Budget and updating information 12.4.1 Observation Based on the figures of recent past , in year 2017, it is identified that the actual CAPEX utilization is less than 45% of budgeted requirements. Further, the information on capital expenditure against the budget is not received on time. 12.4.2 Recommendation More attention to be paid in providing information in a timely manner as the information is requested by the management as well as by third parties (MOPE, Treasury etc.) time to time. Further, it is important to revisit the Capital Budget estimates by considering the priorities and the rate of utilization of projects after six months to avoid forecasting errors Ceylon Electricity Board Financial Performance 2018
