History

 

Sundaram Finance (SFL) was promoted by Madras Motor Insurance Company, a part of the reputed TVS Group. The Company was incorporated in 1954. It became a public limited company in 1961 and went public in 1972. The main business of the company includes hire purchase and lease financing of commercial vehicles, cars and machinery. It also undertakes short-term activities such as bill discounting and commercial mortgage lending.  

 
SFL achieved its leadership position by a unique combination of traditional conservatism and judicious dynamism. Faith, Depositor Confidence, Institutional Trust, Investor Steadfastness & Employee loyalty are the five pillars to support the strong edifice of the company. It set industry standards by computerising and networking all its offices through a variety of communication media including VSAT installations. These ensure efficient and smooth functioning of all its systems and procedures resulting in better customer service. The company allotted bonus shares in the ratio of 1:1 in Nov. 1995. 

 
The subsidiaries of the company are Sundaram Home Finance Limited, Sundaram Asset Management Company Limited, Royal Sundaram Alliance Insurance Company Limited, Sundaram Finance Distribution Limited, LGF Services Private Limited and Sundaram Finance Trustee Company Limited 

 
As part of diversification and to provided more financial service to the customers, the company entered in to various collaboration and joint ventures. It formed an asset management company called Sundaram Newton Asset Management Company Private Limited in collaboration with Newton Management, UK. In housing loan sector it promoted Sundaram Home Finance Limited with equity participation from International Finance Corporation (IFC), Washington, and FMO (Netherlands Development Finance Company).  

 
During 1999-2000, India Equipment Leasing (IEL), Aparajita Finance Company (APC), Balika Finance Company (BFC) & Paramjyothi Finance Company (PFC) were amalgamated with the company. The company paid a total consideration of Rs 201 Millions for the acquisition of shares of the amalgamating companies. 

 
During 2000-2001, Sundaram Finance Services (SFSL) was amalgamated with the company. Subsequently Sundaram Finance Securities (SFSec.) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Further during the year it promoted Fiat Sundaram Auto Finance Limited, a joint venture with Fidis S.p.A., Italy for financing Fiat cars. Also with the opening up of the insurance sector the company along with Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance plc formed a joint venture company named Royal Sundaram Alliance Insurance Company (RSAIC) for non-life insurance business. It commenced its operation in March 2001 and offers full range of insurance products including fire, motor, personal accident, home, health, travel and rural insurance. 

 
The Company has merged Lakshmi General Finance Limited (LGF) with itself with effect from 1st April 2004. According to the scheme of merger the company has issued 3775965 equity shares of Rs.10/- each to the shareholders of LGF in the ratio of 1:1.52. Consequent to this merger the company's paid up capital increased to Rs.277.800 Millions.

 

AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS

SIS also achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2005 certification for its Information Security Management System. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 
OVERVIEW 
 
The Indian Economy registered another year of impressive growth during 2005-06, with GDP growth climbing to 8.4%, from 7.5% in 2004-05, owing largely to sustained growth in the industry and services sectors and a growing world economy, despite record high crude oil prices. Another positive feature was that the growth was accompanied by continued maintenance of relative price stability. Agricultural growth has been estimated at 3.9%, reviving from a low of 0.7% in 2004-05, thanks to a near normal monsoon. Industrial output improved during 2005-06 mainly due to acceleration of growth in the manufacturing sector, which has been estimated at 9%. Sustained expansion in domestic as well as export demand, increased capacity utilisation and improved customer confidence were some of the key factors for the improvement in the manufacturing sector. The services sector continued to perform impressively, clocking a growth of 10.1%. 

 
The country's balance of payments position remained comfortable during the year. Exports are estimated to have increased by 24.7%, in dollar terms, while imports grew by 31.5%. Notwithstanding the sharply higher international crude prices, significant outflows on redemption of the India Millennium Bonds and a widening current account deficit, India's foreign exchange reserves increased by USD 10.1 billion, from USD 141.5 billion as at end-March 2005 to USD 151.6 billion as at end-March 2006. 

 
The inflationary situation remained benign, despite high crude oil prices, partially due to the incomplete pass-through of increases in international oil prices into the domestic economy. The average inflation, based on movement in the wholesale price index (WPI) stood at 4% compared to 5.1% in the previous year. The Fiscal deficit has been estimated at 4.1%, lower than the budgeted level of 4.3%, mainly on account of a reduction in the revenue deficit, a decline in capital outlay and proceeds from disinvestments. 

 
For the second year in succession, the demand for bank funds exceeded deposit mobilisation. Combined with the IMD redemption, this resulted in strained liquidity, especially in the last quarter of the financial year, pushing interest rates up by as much as 100 basis points between January and March. One year G Sec yields stood at 6.54% as at end-March 2006, as against 5.84% a year ago. The capital markets remained buoyant and leading stock market indices touched record highs during the year. 

 
AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR 


The automotive sector recorded modest growth during the year. Sales of medium and heavy commercial vehicles registered a growth of 4.5%, significantly lower than the growth rates of the past three years. Sales of Light commercial vehicles grew by 19.4% (PY - 22%), driven significantly by growth in the 'sub 3.5 tonne' category. Sales of cars and multi-utility vehicles grew by 7.7% (PY - 18%) during the year. After three years of high growth rates, the automotive industry would appear to have slipped into lower gear, notwithstanding the easy availability of low cost finance for most part of the year. 

 

OPERATING & FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 

 
The Company recorded hire purchase and loan disbursements of Rs.34220 Millions during the year, as against Rs.28590 Millions in the previous year, registering a growth of 20%. This translates to a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 30.72% over the last 3 years. The gross receivables of the company, as at 31st March 2006, stood at Rs. 49710 Millions as against Rs.44600 Millions in the previous year. 

 
The Company's continuing emphasis on quality has ensured that the performance of the core retail portfolio remained excellent, with gross and net NPAs standing at 0.43% (PY - 0.53%) and 0.35% (PY - 0.39%) respectively, probably the best in the industry. While constantly exploring new opportunities and expanding into newer geographies, the company's adherence to its core philosophy of building sustainable, long term relationships has ensured that growth is never achieved at the cost of quality. On an overall basis, standard assets stood at 98.42% and net NPAs stood at 0.80% of total business assets as on 31.03.2006 as against 98.49% and 0.45% respectively in the previous year. 

 
Gross income for the year from hire purchase, hypothecation loans and leasing grew by 9% over last year. With growth rates in the automotive sector slowing down, competition for the available business continued to be acute. Consequently, margins were under severe pressure for most part of the year. However, with liquidity tightening towards the end of the year, lending rates moved up marginally. Establishment and administrative expenses have been consistent with the growth in business. The Company continues to focus on new opportunities to improve profitability. 
 
The net profit for the year was Rs. 1705.900 Millions of which Rs.881.300 Millions was on account of the divestment of 49.90% shareholding in Sundaram Asset Management Company Limited in favour of BNP Paribas Asset Management Group, France. Net profit from ongoing operations for the year was Rs. 824.600 Millions. The company's net-worth stood at Rs. 8108.300 Millions as on 31.3.2006, while Capital Adequacy (CRAR) at 13.75% was comfortably higher than the statutory requirement of 12%. 

 
RESOURCE MOBILISATION 

 
Deposits 
 
The Company mobilised fresh deposits during 2005-06 aggregating to Rs.612.700 Millions Renewal of deposits matured during the year amounted to Rs.2387.300 Millions, representing 63% of the matured deposits. Deposits outstanding at the year-end were at Rs.6279.800 Millions and the number of depositors exceeded 268000. 

 
As at the year-end, 4542 deposit receipts amounting to Rs. 107.000 Millions, had matured for payment and were due to be claimed or renewed.
