press clippings

 

The Hindu, October 28, 2004

 

New Delhi: Sharda Motor Industries on Wednesday announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sharda Pro-Acoustics, will market, service and support the premium range of professional home entertainment audio visual solutions and car-audio systems of highly acclaimed international brands, Marantz and Boston Acoustics. Sharda Pro-Acoustics has already set up the first of its exclusive showrooms for the Marantz and Boston Acoustic’s range of products in New Delhi and plans to open more in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

 

The Hindu, June 21, 2004

 

Chennai, June 21

 

Boston Acoustics, which announced its entry into the Indian market last week, has said it will focus on dealer training and direct marketing to gain a foothold here.

 

The Massachusetts-based company will market its range of audio products for th home entertainment and automotive segments through Sharda Motor Industries and Sebastian and Sons. While the latter will distribute Boston’s audio products in South India, Sharda will be its exclusive distributor for home and custom speakers for the country, as well as for car audio products for the rest of India. Mr. Christopher Cairoli, Boston’s International Sales Director (Europe, Middle East and Africa), said the company will use less of media but more fo direct marketing and dealer training to make customers understand “the unique characteristics of Boston”.

 

Boston Accoustics, which is listed on the Nasdaq, saw its net sales for 2003-04 decreased by 26 percent to $52.6 million, from $70.6 million a year ago

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENTS AND OUTLOOK: 

 

The automotive industry in India has been transformed into a global industry and continued to remain buoyant during the year 2005-06. The domestic growth in the automobile industry in 2005-06 can be attributable to buoyant market conditions arising from strong economic growth, including robust industrial growth, lower' interest rates, road and infrastructure development, realignment of the industry and good replacement demand. The Union budget 2006 presented in the Parliament, contains a cut on excise duties for small cars and has given a further fillip to the industry and in particular to the Company. The Indian four wheelers industry entered in the select brand of countries that have crossed an annual volume of a million units. 


The year 2005-06 has been a landmark year for the Company as the Company has achieved yet another milestone and the turnover of the Company touched an all time high of Rs.3198.800 Millions as against Rs.2501.000 Millions for the previous financial year registering an increase of 27.90% against an expectation of 25%. 
 
 The Company's input costs remain a concern with global steel prices having fluctuated abnormally over a past period. However the Company is hopeful that the present Indian economic scenario is indicative of yet another year of strong demand for automotive and white goods components. In such an economic scenario, SMIL projects a further growth of 10% in its turnover for the next financial year 2006-07. The Company has already taken steps for setting up a tube mill project at Chennai and few other expansion programmes at Chennai and Nashik. 
 
 OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS: 

 
The generally satisfactory state of the economy and a positive economic outlook for India, combined with SMIL's diligent expansion of its technological and product development capacities, augurs well for the coming years. The Company is regularly examining the possibility of developing new products for old as well as new customers and also new customers for the existing products. This exercise will eventually have enough potential for creating higher value though resulting into better profitability in the coming years: 
 
For the Automotive Sector, regulatory norms are gradually being made more stringent. While these measures are welcome, they may result in an increase in manufacturing costs, which, in turn, may affect margins or demand in a price sensitive situation. There is further a distinct possibility of stiff competition from other multinational automotive parts manufacturing Companies entering the Indian Market. 
 
The Company is also gearing up to meeting the threat of the competition, by aggressive pursuit of specific cost improvement aimed at protecting its competitive prices. These measures would also enable the Company to partly neutralize the increase in cost of inputs such as steel etc. 
 
SEGMENT WISE / PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE: 
 
Segment-wise performance has been reported under Note 11 of Schedule-12 forming part of Annual Report for the year ended 31st March' 2006. 
 
RISKS AND CONCERNS: 
 
The Company is exposed to Business, Assets and financial risks as under: 
 
Business risks are inherent in automobile industry due to economy's growth, risks of technological obsolescence due to stricter emission/safety norms and more intense competition. Other potential risks include disruption in production due to acts of God and man-made. All these risks are continuously addressed in the business plans-both long term as well as short term, risk mitigation strategies are drawn up and acted upon. Besides, specific risk covers are taken, wherever available, based on risk perceptions, past experience, cost of cover, etc. 
 
Assets risks include threat to physical assets through accidents, natural calamities, obsolescence, etc. The Company has an internal system to assess these risks, define the limits of exposure for operation and take appropriate insurance cover. 
 
 Financial risks are inherent in foreign currency rate fluctuations on account of import of materials, capital equipments, technology, etc. The Company has a well-defined exposure management system to review its exchange exposure and to take appropriate measures to mitigate the losses. 
 
 Stringent legislation on pollution and emission requirements will increase production costs for the Automotive Sector. Holding the price line could have an impact on the profitability. Price increase on the other hand could impact volumes.
