LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

A flagship of Raheja group company, H&R Johnson is being managed by Mr. Vijay Aggarwal as the Managing Director. 

 
The company set up its fifth manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh at a cost of Rs. 700 millions besides it is also increasing capacity of Mumbai plant at a cost of Rs. 800 millions. Both the projects are expected to be completed by February, 2004. It has also opened an exclusive H&R Johnson display centre in Kolkata.

 

OPERATIONS

 

During the year under report the company had made major strides in strengthening its position as market leader in the ceramic tile industry. The net sales value had grown by 9.8% while sales volumes (in tonnage) had grown by 1.3% over the previous year. The profit after tax stood at Rs. 175 millions recording a growth of 250% over the previous year. The operating profit (profit before interest, depreciation, exceptional items and tax) had shown a growth of 35.5% over previous year signifying the success of the operational strategies adopted by the management of the company. This was again in the backdrop of the intense competition from imports and unorganized sector as well as rising fuel prices.

 

The company had launched some innovative products during the year. Some of these products with larger formats and innovative designs and applications had captured the imagination of the discerning customers. During the year under report, the company has again made history by launching Joint Free ‘Porselano’, a rectified glazed white body porcelain tile as premium flooring tile. This is the first time such a product has been launched in India. The response, both from the trade and the end customers, has been quite encouraging.

 

Another path breaking product launched in the previous year 2000-01, namely, Endura, is now well established in the market.

 

All the plants of the company had performed satisfactory. Negotiations are going on for wage agreement with the labour unions at the Karaikal and Pen plant.

 

CERTIFICATION AND RECOGNITION

 

All the four plants of the company has been accredited with ISO 14001 certification signifying compliance with stringent international norms on environment management. Kunigal plant has also secured certification for OHSAS 18001 for complying with Health and Safety standards. The other plants of the company are also making efforts to secure this recognition as well. All the plants already certified for ISO 9002 : 1994 are now working toward rolling over to new quality standards under ISO 9001 : 2000.

 

FINANCE

 

The company continues to restructure its long term debts in order to bring down its cost of funds. Further efforts are being made to take advantage of the present soft interest rate regime and easy liquidity to finance further plan and also to bring down the cost of funds of the existing borrowings.

 

The company has fully tied up its working capital requirements for the current year and has a prudent mix of Foreign Institutional Investors foreign currency loan, commercial paper and cash credit facility for this purpose.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The year under report, was a challenging one with global as well as Indian economy continuing to decelerate following the tech melt down across the world. Additionally, the horrific events of September, 11 in the USA further delayed the much-expected revival. In India the impact was limited and Indian Economy steel grew by about 5%.

 

The Ceramic Tile industry could grow by about 10% but still leaving significant capacities in organized sector unutilized and putting pressure on margins. The company expects another round of consolidation in the ceramic tile industry to begin soon.

 

The situation is further exacerbated by continuous dumping of tiles, particularly polished vitrified/glazed porcelain tiles. An application was filed by the domestic tile manufacturers including company to impose anti dumping duty on imports from China and UAE. The central government, after detailed investigation, had imposed provisional anti dumping duty on such imports in May, 2002. Although this will provide some relief to the domestic manufacturers, further attempts to circumvent such duties by unscrupulous importers can be ruled out.

 

The company expect that the threat of dumping will continue to exist in some form or the other and will need closed monitoring. On the other hand, the unorganized sector continues to thrive on the back of special benefits available to them from the State and also because of the non-compliance of tax law. The company has been preparing itself for this kind of onslaught from imports and unfair competition from the unorganized sector by putting greater emphasis on product differentiation, customer service, strong distribution network and continuous cost reduction.

 

The company has joint venture with BAL Endura Adhesives Private Limited and H. R. Johnson (Overseas) Limited.

 

The company's fixed assets of important value include goodwill, freehold and leasehold land, roads and buildings, plant & machinery, furniture and air conditioners, etc.
