LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: 


  The company has continued its march with another strong year of continued growth. The Company achieved new scales of height this year. Following are the few benchmarks: 


  INCOME:

  
  Continuing the positive trend, the company has further improved its performance during the year; the turnover including other income was Rs.6050.42 millions compared to Rs.2890.88 millions in the previous period of 12 months, recording a whopping 109 increase on annualized basis. 


 EBIDT:

  PAT:  
 
 At the end of financial year, the profit after tax has risen from Rs.123.87 millions to Rs.250.67 millions this year, recording a 102.36% increase on annualized basis. 

2006-2007: A GLIMPSE 

 Launch of New Stores: 

 Since the set up of Vishal Mega Mart, the focus of the company has been on setting up stores in the Tier II and Tier III Cities & catering the needs of Medium and Upper Medium Segment of the Society, where the future of Retail Industry rests. To tap the opportunities in Organised Retail, the Company opened up 26 Stores in the Tier II and Tier III Cities. & 1 Store in Tier I city. These new Stores contributed significantly to the revenues of the Company and providing the Company a PAN India presence. 

 Private Labels: 

 Retail Industry is cost competitive Industry, the margins are low. These margins are further reduced, it the Retailers are engaged only in the distribution of high cost branded products. Therefore, in an effort to jack up gross margins, they have evolved the concept of Private Labels. Private Labels carries the brand name of the Company itself, but manufacturing of the same is outsourced to Local Manufacturers.

Subject has a number of in house brands (these are called private labels) such as Zepplin, Paranoia, Chlorine, Kittan Studio, Famenne, Fleurier Women and Roseau etc. In fiscal 2007, the income from the private labels was Rs.583.60 million compared to Rs. 483.50 Million in the fiscal 2006, which accounted for 9.68% of the total sales for fiscal 2007. They believe that the focus on the private labels and their recognition in the customer segment enables us to differentiate ourselves from the competitors as they’ll as to improve the margins. 
 
 Human Resource: 

Retail Industry in India is still in the nascent stage. People are not much aware about growth in the Retail Industry. The importance of stable, talented and efficient workforce is further enhanced by these factors. To overcome these work factors, they have created a favourable work environment that encourages innovation and meritocracy. They are in the process of putting up a scalable recruitment and human resource management process, which will enable us to attract and retain high caliber employees & meet the challenges of the Retail Industry. 

The Key focus has been to change the mindset from 'human resource utilization' to 'nurturing and leveraging talent'. They believe in investing in people competencies for the business requirements of tomorrow. With a view to creating a strong management base, the company has tied up with various Management Institutions viz., Asia Pacific Institute of Management, Amity International School of Business, JIMS, and IILM etc. 

 The Board of Directors wishes to place on record their appreciation to all the employees of the Company for their sustained efforts, dedication and hard work during the year.

INDUSTRY EVALUATION: 


  Indian Retail Industry is ranked among the ten largest retail markets in the world. The attitudinal shift of the Indian consumer in terms of 'Choice Preference', 'Value for Money' and the emergence of organised retail formats have transformed the face of Retailing in India. As per CRIS INFAC Report,2005, the Indian retail industry is currently estimated to be a US$200 billion industry and organised Retailing comprises of 3 per cent (or) US$6.4 Billion of the retail industry. With a growth over 20 percent per annum over the last 5 years; organised retailing is projected to reach US$ 30 Billion by 2010. 


 Retailing in India is gradually inching its way to becoming the next boom industry. The whole concept of shopping has altered in terms of format and consumer buying behavior, ushering in a revolution in shopping. Modern retail has entered India as seen in sprawling shopping centres, multi-storeyed malls and huge complexes offer shopping, entertainment and food all under one roof. 


 Retail is India's largest industry, accounting for over 10 percent of the country's GDP and around 8 percent of employment. Retail in India is at the crossroads. It has emerged as one of the most dynamic and fast paced industries with several players entering the market. 


 The Indian retailing sector is at an inflexion point where the growth of organised retail and growth in. the consumption by Indians is going to adopt a higher growth trajectory. The Indian population is witnessing a significant change in its demographics. A large young working population with median age of 24 years, nuclear families in urban areas, along with increasing working-women population and emerging opportunities in the services sector are going to be the key growth drivers of the organised retail sector. 


 Organised retail in India is on a high growth trajectory and is growing at the rate of 24-26% annually. The size of the total retail industry market is estimated to be around Rs. 9,990 billion in 2004-05, with organised retailing accounting for a mere 3.50/0 of the India's total retail market.

In its Annual Review, CRIS INFAC,2005 estimated the organised retail penetration to increase to 8% by 2010 at a CAGR of 26%. The organised retail penetration is projected to increase to 5.8% by 2007-08. 


  DRIVERS FOR GROWTH IN RETAILING:

 
  Higher Disposable Income: 


  The disposable income of Indian consumers has increased steadily: The proportion of the major consuming class (population that has an annual income that is higher than Rs. 90,000) is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3 per cent (2002-2010) over the next 8 years and will result in higher spending capacity and eventually into greater consumption. 
 
 Higher level of working women: 


 According to the 2001 census report, the population of working women has increased from 22 per cent in 1991 to 26 per cent in 2001. The purchasing habit of a working woman is different from that of a housewife, since the former has lesser time to devote to the task. Working women would prefer a one-stop shop for purchasing their regular products. Also, a working woman's propensity for spending is higher than that of a housewife. 


 
 Baby boomer effect: 


 There has been a strong demographic shift in India's population distribution. The percentage of the earning population (15 to 60 yrs) in the total population is rising. This will increase the overall purchasing capacity in the country, propelling growth in the retail segment.  

 

The proportion in total population of the segment with an annual income higher than Rs 90,000 (that is, the major consuming class) has increased from 20.4 per cent in 1995-96 to 28.1 per cent in 2001-02. However, the share of the major consuming class in the urban region has increased at a higher rate, from 45 per cent in 1998-99 to 51 per cent in 2001-02, and it is expected to touch 63 per cent by 2009-10. Further, the income levels of the urban middle class are also expected to register a strong growth in the medium term. 


 Change in outlook on branded products and Growth in the number of retail malls: 


   In the last 4-5 years, Indian markets have witnessed a strong shift towards branded products as Indian consumers have started feeling that branded goods offer better quality and greater value for money. This increase in the awareness of branded goods has been the highest in the case of apparel. Increased exposure to international consumerism trends and fast changing lifestyles can result in a 10-15 per cent growth in branded goods, which will, in turn, provide a platform for the growth of organised retail.

 
 The last 2-3 years have also witnessed a proliferation in malls in India, particularly in the metros and mini metros. The growth in retail malls provides more options for retailers, as it reduces the time required to set up a retail outlet. It also provides retail space, which can be leased by retailers instead of investing in building up their own store. This significantly reduces the capital intensity of the retail industry. Typically, a retail chain would prefer to lease store space in a mall instead of setting up a standalone store, since this reduces capital investment, which can be employed in their core business of retailing. 


 Increased use of credit cards and availability of cheap finance: 


 The use of plastic money (credit and debit cards) has increased significantly in the last 4-5 years. In fact the ease of payments (ability to spend without cash) due to the use of credit and debit cards, has also led to an increase in total spending on shopping and eating out. 


 With the acceptance of and the increase in the number of electronic data converter machines installed in retailing outlets, they believe credit and debit cards will provide further, fillip to organised retail. 


 Segments in Retail: 


 Retail as a whole can be broken into various categories, depending on the types of products serviced. Food and groceries has the biggest share in the retail pie, accounting for the around 76%. However, it has the lowest organised retail penetration. This is indicative of the opportunity for organised retail growth in this segment. The footwear and clothing segments have the highest penetration of organised retail.

The Key strategy is to offer quality products, at the minimum possible cost, with a focus on private label and quassi private label products an fashion at affordable price.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS: 


 They believe that the following are the principal competitive strengths which have contributed to the current position in the retail sector in India: 

 Understanding of the 'value retail' segment: 


 The business plan involves implementation of the concept of the 'value retailing', targeting the middle and lower middle income groups, which constitute majority of the population in India. They intend to provide quality products at competitive prices. The emphasis has been to maximise the value that the customers derive in spending on goods bought in the stores. They endeavour to continuously reduce the costs through a variety of measures, such as, in-house production of apparels, procurement of goods directly from the small and medium size vendors and manufacturers, efficient logistics and systems along with customized product mix at the stores depending on the regional customer behaviour and preferences.

Central to the value retail strategy is to pass on the benefits of cost reduction measures to the customers. 
 
 Supply chain management: 


 The supply chain management involves planning, merchandizing sourcing, standardization, vendor management, production, logistics, quality control, 'pilferage' control replacement and replenishment. The supply chain management provides us flexibility to adapt to changing patterns in consumer behaviour and the ability to add value at various steps/levels. In particular, the supply chain management gains strength from the ability to undertake in-house manufacture, design and development of apparels. 


 Logistics and distribution network: 

 
 The distribution and logistics network comprises seven distribution centres. Besides, we have the own fleet of 41 trucks, which helps us to transport and deliver the products in a cost and time efficient manner. They believe that the distribution and logistics set up is well networked and allows us to fulfil the store requisition within short time period of generation and receipt of order, which has helped us to optimize in-store availability of merchandise and minimize transportation costs. The strong distribution and logistics network has enabled us to dispense with the requirement of a dedicated storage space at every store, which is an industry practice, and instead undertake periodical replenishment of depleted stock. Due to adoption of an efficient racking system, they are able to benefit from optimum utilization of the space allocated for display in the stores. This provides us assistance in maintaining a low working capital requirement and less carrying cost. 


 Geographical spread: 


 The stores and distribution centers are spread in various parts and regions of the country. This has not only enabled us to build the brand value but also facilitated us to explore cost-effective sourcing from different locations, identify potential markets and efficiently establish new stores in different locations. An aggregate of 45 of 53 of the existing stores are located in Tier II and Tier 111 cities, which, they believe, enables us to capture market share in locations where a majority of the target customers are located. 


 Identifying new locations: 


 They believe that they possess the ability to identify locations with potential for growth, in particular in Tier II and Tier III cities. They have an exclusive site identification and assessment team, which undertakes systematic analysis of the business prospects, taking into account factors such as population, literacy levels, nature of occupation,

income levels, accessibility, basic infrastructure and establishment and running costs. Further, they have a dedicated warehouse for the purposes of storing the materials essential for setting up of new stores. 
 

Concentrated Geographical Presence: 


 Currently, they are having strong presence in central and northern India, wherein they derive 61.93% of the revenues. Further all the manufacturing and warehousing facilities are located in this region. The Aggressive plans for the next two years in other regions of the country may pose a concern in terms of the company's execution skills and logistic set up. 


 Increase in competition to impact Margins: 


 Considering the industry's huge growth potential, new players, both domestic and international, are likely to enter the market. Groups such as Reliance Industries, Bharti etc., and foreign players like Wal Mart, Tesco, Carrey the and Metro have already expressed their keenness to operate in India. Increased Competitive pressure is likely to alter the dynamics of business quite dramatically, further staining land and manpotheyr resources.

Further, the advent of competition may also dent the high level of profitability enjoyed by us. 
 
 Retail Landscape: 


 According to Images 2006, organised retail is set to grow at a 35% CAGR over the next few years and will reach US 30bn by 2010. However, in order to reach this target, several initiatives and huge investments would be required on the part of retailers. They estimate that Retail Industry would be requiring 145-060 mn sq. ft. of space to reach this target. Further, in view of large expansion plans of Pantaloon, Reliance and Wal Mart making a foray into Indian Retail Industry with Bharti, prominent land space would be a big threat to the industry.  
 
 FUTURE OUTLOOK: 


  Today, the country is in grip of retail revolution with big retailers like Wal-Mart eager to take over Indian markets. Even within the country, big business houses like TATA, Reliance, Bharti have already made there foray into the retail market, At this time of bloodthirsty competition they aspire to distinguish the selves in the retail industry by the competitive strengths they offer. The concept of 'value retailing' i.e. targeting on the needs of the middle and lower income group has been the foremost strength which has enabled us cling the focus of the market. The prime concern has been to establish the base structure in Tier II and Tier III cities and to serve to their needs at the best. The continuous aim is to evolve ourselves to meet the demands of the highly dynamic society. To accomplish this goal they have been introducing private labels, identifying new and globally distributed locations to set up new show rooms and hire experienced and skilled management team. 


 They have aggressive Roll out plans for the future. They would be opening stores under the new Retail Formats such as Convenient Stores, Specialty Stores to cater to the demand of existing and forthcoming stores, which will contribute significantly to the revenues and the customer base. 


 We are targeting to achieve a turnover of Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) Crores by the financial year ending March 2010 and become the leading Retailers in India. For this, they are planning to enter into tie ups with branded manufacturers, suppliers, service providers for diversifying the operations and unleashing more opportunities for the growth of the business and providing the stakeholders, the value for their money. 
 
 OPPORTUNITIES: 
 
 Presence in Tier II and Tier III cities: 


 They are operating 45 Stores out of 53 Stores in India in the Tier II and Tier III cities. They are having strong presence in these cities. Big players have not ventured into these cities. In Future, they would be operating more stores in such cities and aid in the development of the organised Retail Industry in such cities 
 
 New Retail Format: 


 They are in the process of launching Convenient Stores and Specialty stores all over India, by which they would be able to reach every consumer and also gain a wide spread geographical presence all over the India. These stores would be spread in the area of approximate 5,000-10,000 Sq. Ft. They have already identified some of the suitable locations for the same and have entered into Memorandum of Understanding with some of the owners for running these stores from their premises. 


 Booming Industry Scenario: 


 The Retail Industry, which was a few time back at the nascent stage, is progressively moving forward to become the biggest industry contributing a large chunk of resources in the development of economy. The Industry is having a CAGR of 25%, which is supposed to increase further. They, being one of the major Retailers in the Industry, will be garnering a strong share in the Retail Industry growth and providing value for money to the stakeholders. 
 
 Private Labels: 

The objective has always been to offer quality products at the minimum possible costs. Thus, they strives to offer differentiated products that are not available elsewhere at very competitive prices, by either manufacturing them in house or directly sourcing them from manufacturers. They have a number of in house brands which are contributing significantly to the total revenues. 


 They would be launching more products under the private labels, which will pave the way for the margins and create a strong value for the stakeholders. 


 De risking the Business Model: 


 They are working on de-risking the business model. While keeping the products range wide, they have ensured a balanced mix of in house manufactured products (private labels) and products sourced from manufacturers (quasi private labels) to optimize margins and minimize risks. 


 Currently, apparels contribute a significant portion to the revenues. In order to reduce the dependence on the apparels business and de-risk the business from the seasonality of apparel retailing, they are focusing more on non-apparels and FMCG retailing. This segment would be contributing significantly to the revenues in future, thereby minimizing the risk.

  Some of the significant events that took place during the Fiscal year 2007 were as follows:
