LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Subject, started by Mr. Ashok Kajaria, a technocrat from California University in technical collaboration with Todagres, Spain (second-largest maker of tiles in the world), is the largest manufacturer and exporter of floor and wall tiles in India. It manufactures Glazed Tiles and Listello Tiles under the Kajaria brand name. It uses the latest Monoporosa technology, which is available in Europe, for producing the floor and wall tiles. It was imported in 1998. 

 
Subject came out with a public issue in Sep.'88 to set up a factory at Sikandrabad, Uttar Pradesh. The Commercial production of this unit is commenced in Aug.'88.  

 
Subject has expanded the capacity in stages all this years. Started with mere 12000 tpa in 1988, the total installed capacity (of both the units at sikandrabad and Alwar) has jumped to 160000 tpa by 1999. In 1995 the company has increased the total capacity of Sikandarabad unit to 80000 tpa and in 1998-99 the company completed the new unit for manufacturing floor and wall tiles at Village Gailpur in Alwar District of Rajasthan at a cost of Rs.980.000 milloins thus increasing the total capacity to 150000 tpa. Now in 2000-01, the total capacity stood at 160000 tpa. 

 
Subject becomes the first ceramic tile company in India to be accredited with the ISO 9002. SUBJECT which has won the prestigious Capexil Special Export award (given for the highest export made in a year) three times in succession in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1997 has also baged it again for the year 1999-2000. It exports to the Europe, west Asia and SAARC countries and it has plans to tap the export potential in Australia, South Africa, Vietnam, North America and Singapore.

 
Subject is adopting an nowel strategy/ concept i.e. mock bathrooms, kitchens, and living rooms in organized retailing. It has also pumped in Rs.25 million in Kajaria Plus Limited, thus making this marketing company of ceramic products it's subsidiary. In Feb 2001, the company has also entered the Australian Market by floating a subsidiary company in Australia, M/s Kajaria Ceramics (Aus) Pty Limited with an initial investment of Rs.10.860 Million. 
 
 The company has expanded the installed capacity of Ceramic Tiles during the financial year 2003-04 by 2300000 SqM and with this expansion,the total capacity has risen to 13800000 SqM.

 

DIRECTOR REPORTS:

Performance review:

The Company addressed a challenging situation during the year under review. Even as sales increased, there was a decline in profits and margins. Their sales increased by 24 percent over 2005-06, touching Rs. 4,368 mn.; there was a 16 percent decline in EBIDTA to Rs. 573 mn. and a decline in their pretax profit from Rs. 361 mn. in 2005-06 to Rs. 107 mn. in 2006-07. The decline would have been sharper but for effective counter-measures during the later part of the financial year, the results of which should reflect in 2007-08. The growth in their revenue was partly the result of an 8.4 mn. sq. mt. increase in production arising out of their enhanced capacity and increase in sale of vitrified tiles imported by the Company. The gross block increased by 20 percent; since this incremental capacity was funded mainly through debt, there was a corresponding increase in their interest outflow by 74 percent during the year under review. However, the sharp increase in output could not be commensurately absorbed by the marketplace and their profit after tax declined to Rs. 77 mn. compared to Rs. 286 mn. in the previous year.

                                                  

Corporate highlights

Capacity expansion: To cater to the widening market, we increased their capacity from 18 mn. sq. mt. to 26.4 mn. sq. mt. at a cost of around Rs. 1230.000 millions. The expansion was completed in the end of September 2006, the Company operated at 87 percent of its weighted average capacity in the financial year 2006-07. The project was funded through a debt of Rs. 800.000 millions and the rest through internal accruals.

 

New products: Following a careful study of changing market trends, the Company launched a boutique and exclusive collection of tiles at the end of the year. The Company also launched large-sized wall tiles in July, 2007 to, cater to the needs of the high-end

 

Outlook

An affluent middle-class, rising aspirations, easy financing and changing demographics are strengthening the demand for housing, estimated at around 25 percent a year. In turn, this demand is extending to the ceramic tiles industry. The outlook for the business continued to be optimistic for the following reasons:

 

° The country's total stock of commercial real estate is expected to grow by US$ 66 bn. to .US$ 366 ton. by

2010, mostly in organized retail.

 

« The potential for ceramic tiles is large, considering their per capita consumption of 0.30 sq. mt. in India,

compared to more than 2.0 sq. mt for countries like China, Brazil and

Malaysia.

 

» Urban housing shortage stood at 8.89 mn. units at the beginning of the Tenth Plan (2002-07) while the cumulative requirement for the same period is pegged at 22.44 mn. units. Estimates for the housing requirements during the Eleventh Plan period (2007-12) are about 27 mn. houses in the urban areas and 47 mn. in rural areas.

 

" With increasing affluence, brand consciousness is driving the offtake of branded products, benefiting the unorganized sector. Subsidiary companies As required under Section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956, the audited statement of accounts relating to the subsidiary companies, together with enclosures, for the year ended March 31, 2007 are enclosed.
