LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

PERFORMANCE:
 
Subject ended the year 2009-10 with net sales of Rs.28080 millions as against Rs.23670 millions in the previous year, registering a growth of 18.6%.  The Company's profit after tax stood at Rs.1610.400 Millions as compared to a loss of Rs.161.100 millions during the same period last year. This was achieved due to smart and strategic raw material procurement, substantial reduction in interest burden on account of efficient working capital   management and numerous cost reduction initiatives with higher productivity.
 
The Company has been ale to marginally increase its market share of 2-3 wheeler and heavy/light commercial vehicle segments.  A greater skew towards the more profitable replacement market was possible because of the better reach to end consumers through the Subject Shoppes and Subject Hubs.  Revenues from the replacement segment grew from 66% in 2008-09 to 75 % this year. Sales in farm segment was impressive despite poor rains with a growth of 16%.
 
Subject continues to be one of the largest exporters of tyres in the country. Despite the global slowdown, the company maintained exports at Rs.4770 millions at the same level as last year. Subject has continued its   concerted effort to move closer to the end customers by setting up offices in Dubai and Brussels.  Through its strong network and reach in 112  countries  the Company  has  stayed  in tune with emerging trends in most  of  the  export markets,  particularly  in the Far East, Africa and the Middle  East.  This initiative also helped the Company to have a healthy order book and fetch better prices.
 
FUTURE OUTLOOK
 
With the prediction of a normal monsoon, demand from Farm and Manufacturing sectors is expected to remain strong. Increase in commodity prices can help revive demand for Off-the-road tyres. Two-three wheeler manufacturers have registered a strong growth in the recent past. The growth rally is expected to continue   further.  Subject would align its strategies to encash the potential opportunities.
 
Currently, radialisation of the commercial vehicle segment in the country is approximately 10-12%.This is expected to go up to the extent of 30% in the next 3 years. The radial tyre project at Halol, Gujarat, is expected to be commissioned on schedule, by the third quarter of the current fiscal. This will help the Company to cater to the increasing Truck Bus Radials (TBR) and Passenger Car Radials (PCR) demand in the country and in the export market as well. 
 
On  an overall basis they expect a robust growth in topline but  the  margins are  expected to be under pressure due to substantial increase in  cost  of raw  materials  and  higher interest and depreciation  on  account  of  new  capacity creation.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
The Company understands the need for emphasis on innovation in product and process technology and operational efficiencies and has invested in a new state of the art Research and Development Centre in Halol. The centre will have the most contemporary equipments for testing and development. The year 2009-10 saw significant R and D efforts to develop new raw materials, products and enhance the quality of tyres. Two new truck tyres  that  give  higher mileage  at  high  load and at higher speed  respectively  have  also  been launched. The new products developed have performed well in the domestic as well as international markets. In light of increasing raw material prices successful efforts were made in development of cheaper substitutes for costly raw materials without compromising on quality parameters. This has helped the company to not only reduce cost but also in optimizing material consumption.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
 ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
There was a distinct turnaround in the economic climate in 2009-10, post a challenging 2008-09. According to the Union Finance Minister, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee,  the  economy  in  2009-10  is expected  to  grow  by  7.2%,  an impressive  growth  by global standards. Fuelled by earnings  optimism  and  mostly   firm  global  equities, the Bombay Stock  Exchange  climbed  above  18,000  points for the first time in more than two years on April 7,  2010. One  of  the  key drivers of the recent rally  in  Indian  stocks,  Foreign Institutional Investors (Ells) have pumped in nearly Rs.430000 Millions  into the Indian markets between January and April 1, 2010, according to the data released by the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Heavy inflows from FIIs also propelled the Rupee to a 19-month high against the US Dollar on April 5, 2010.
 
While inflation remains a concern, it is clear that recovery is firmly taking root with exports up quite sharply as depicted in the accompanying graph.
 
The country's forex reserves have risen to a record USD 279.09 billion during the week ended April 2, 2010.  Industrial production has also exhibited strong growth during the year. It was up 10.1% in the period April-February for 200910. The corresponding figure for 2008-09 was 3%.The above factors bode well for the economy as well as the tyre industry going forward.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
Global tyre industry
 
Valued at approximately USD 120 billion, the global tyre industry, like its Indian counterpart, is highly concentrated with the top four players accounting for a major share of the total revenues. Passenger Cars (PC) and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) segments constitute a majority of the global tyre industry's product mix at   around 60%.  Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV) segment constitutes around 27% of the product mix. The extent of radialisation is much higher in developed nations than others. Radial tyres offer better fuel efficiency and work out to be more cost effective over the life of a tyre.  Radialisation in the PC segment in the global tyre industry is more than 95%, Mille it is around 60% in the LCV and the HCV segments.
 
Indian tyre industry
 
The Indian tyre industry accounts for around 5% of the global demand as well as global supply of tyres. The industry has  registered  significant growth  during  the  year on the back of an economic  recovery  with  sales expected  to touch Rs.263 billion in 2009-10, growing at a CAGR of  12-13% from   Rs.234 billion in 2008-09.  This  growth  is  expected  to   be predominantly  driven  by  an  increase  in  volumes  rather  than  average 
realisations where  growth is expected to be restricted to  2-3%.  Average realisation per kg of tyre is in the range of Rs.120-200.
 
The Indian tyre industry is enjoying strong growth and will continue to do so  in the near future on the back of several demand drivers  that  include the  country's  fast paced GDP growth, growth in the  automobile  industry, 
faster   development   of  road  infrastructure,   increasing   levels   of radialisation  as  well  as  growing demand from  the  Off-The  Road  (OTR) segment.
 
Operating margins of the tyre industry improved by 9001,000 basis points in the  first  nine months of 2009-10 due to a fall in raw material  costs  by around  10%  during  the first nine months of 2009-10  vis-a-vis  the  same period the year before. Raw material, (mainly comprising of natural rubber, Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric, carbon black, synthetic rubber, Styrene Butadiene Rubber, Poly Butadiene Rubber etc.) costs account for around 65% of net sales of the tyre industry. Due to the firming up of raw material prices in the September-December 2009 quarter, the operating margins for most players declined sequentially in the Q3FY10, after reaching a 20-year peak in the second quarter of 2009-10. Analysts estimate that operating margins of the industry will be around 13-14% in 2009-10, up sharply from 7-8% in  2008-09 due to softening of raw material prices in the first half of the fiscal and an increase in average price realisations. 
 
Market segments:
 
1.  Replacement - The Replacement segment constitutes around 65.5% of the industry  and  is  estimated to be valued at  Rs.160  billion  in  2009-10, growing  at  a steady pace of 10-11% on the back of an  economic  recovery. This segment is the most sought after amongst tyre manufacturers as the margins are much better in comparison to those in the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) segment. OEMs are few and enjoy   higher   bargaining power.
 
2.  Original  Equipment  Manufacturers (OEMs) -  This  segment  constitutes around 22.4% of the industry and is expected to be valued at Rs.50 billion in 2009-10, growing by around 20-21%.
 
3. Exports - Exports constitute approximately 12.1% of the industry and are expected to be valued at Rs 21 billion by 2009-10. The Middle East, South Africa, Sri Lanka and North America are key export markets for tyres. 
 
Auto segments
 
Enabled by the Government's stimulus packages, auto demand has witnessed a significant revival following the economic recovery in the domestic market. The auto sector is expected to post y-o-y growth of around 20% in   2009-10.  Commercial  vehicle  (Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles  (MHCV)  +  LCV) sales  are expected to grow by around 29-30% in 2009-10, in contrast  to  a 24%  drop  in  volumes  observed  in  2008-09.  Commercial vehicle   tyres constitute the major share of production in the Indian tyre industry.
 
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
CEAT Limited, the flagship company of RPG enterprises, is one of India's leading tyre manufacturing companies. Established in 1958, the Company with an annual turnover of Rs.29900 Millions, manufactures close to   10 million tyres every year and has a 11% share in the Indian tyre industry.  The Company also markets tubes and flaps which are outsourced from its partners.
 
Renowned for its world class quality and durability, CEAT manufactures the widest  range of tyres for all user segments including heavy-duty Trucks  and Buses,  LCV, Earthmovers and Forklifts (specialty segment),  PC,  tractors, trailers,  scooters  (2/3 wheelers), motorcycles, auto-rickshaws  and  OTR. CEAT  enjoys a major share in the light truck and truck tyre  segments  and has  a  strong  presence  in both the domestic  as  well  as  international markets. The Company exports tyres to nearly 112 countries across America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Subject products have found high acceptance with several OEMs in Europe despite stiff competition from other global players.  Over the years, the Company's export basket has improved both in terms of price realisations and profitability. 
 
CEAT has 2 manufacturing plants, situated in Mumbai (Bhandup), Maharashtra; Nasik, Maharashtra.  Subject robust and extensive network  consists  of  34 regional  offices  and  over 3500 dealers of which  approximately  100  are exclusive  dealers running the CEAT SHOPPE outlets for the PC segment and  96 run the CEAT HUBS for the Truck and Bus segments.

 

DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
 
Income: The Company recorded a Total Income of Rs.28490 Millions, as compared to Rs.24150 millions for the previous year, a growth of 18%. 
 
EBIDTA:  The Company's EBIDTA stood at Rs.3227.000 millions against Rs.581.300 millions in 2008-09, an increase of 455.05%. 
 
PAT:  The Profit after Tax (PAT) of the Company stood at Rs.1610.400 Millions against a loss of Rs.161.000 Millions in 2008-09. 
 
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
 
According to the World Economic Outlook report (2010) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Indian economy is projected to grow at 8.75% in 2010 and 8.5% in 2011, on the back of strong domestic demand and  robust business  confidence.  This growth reflects a strong growth in  exports  as well  as  a continued boost from the inventory cycle along with a  rise  in business  investment  in response to high capacity utilisation  and  strong  
business confidence. 
 
High GDP growth, the infrastructure boom in the country, rising per capita disposable  income, strong  growth  in the  auto  industry  which  ensures healthy  OEM demand and increasing vehicle population indicating  sustained 
replacement  demand, the emerging Truck and Bus  radialisation  opportunity (with  the  ban  on overloading of trucks and the  Government  emphasis  on improving  road  infrastructure,  there  is immense  scope  for  growth  as radialisation  levels in CVs is abysmal at 10-12%), expansion in  the  high margin  OTR  segment and the under penetrated PC market  are  factors  that indicate strong growth in the Indian tyre industry in the near future.
 
With  continued  recovery  in  OEM  off take  and  expected  improvement  in replacement  demand, analysts forecast the tyre industry to grow by 13-14% in  2010-11  (in tonnage terms). Sales are expected to period. Capacity utilisation is likely to remain around 86-87%. However, due to increasing raw material prices and the limited ability of companies to pass on costs to end users, operating margins are expected to be under pressure. Experts predict a 2-3% rise in tyre prices due to an increase in raw material prices. This could be higher in the event of the withdrawal of duty benefits announced in the stimulus package by the Government. Due to this, growth in realisations is expected to remain in the range of 2-3%. 
 
With the revival in economic activity and the positive impact of improving industrial activity along with a stable credit scenario, demand from OEMs is estimated to grow at a robust 13-14% (in tonnage terms) in 2010-11 while 
replacement demand is expected to grow at 14-15%. All key vehicle segments including MHCV, LCV, PC and UV are expected to witness strong growth in the range of 14-15% in 2010-11. Analysts expect exports to grow at 4-5% in  the same  period  on the back of an expected revival in  global  auto  markets, coupled  with restrictions on Chinese tyre exports to  developed  countries such as USA.
 
All this bodes well for CEAT. Given its experience and expertise, the Company is all set to maximise this huge opportunity.
 
OUTLOOK
 
CEAT exhibits a strong potential and makes continuous efforts to emerge as the preferred tyre maker not just in India but globally as well. With the revival in the world economy and the subsequent increase in demand, the 
Company expects traction in its exports, given its established presence across countries. CEAT has undertaken a number of initiatives to capitalise on the huge opportunity in the tyre industry.
 
The Company plans to expand its capacity by setting up a 130 Tonnes Per Day (TPD) radial tyre facility at Halol in Gujarat. The plant will manufacture truck, bus, light truck and passenger car radials. A substantial proportion of the total production is slated for exports. A brown-field expansion of 30 TPD at the Company's Nasik facility is also expected to be commissioned by Q2FY11 along with the Halol facility, taking CEAT's total capacity to 570   TPD. This capacity expansion will provide the Company a robust volume growth in the years to come.
 
The Company also plans to enter into the OTR tyre maintenance business in the current fiscal. A revenue model based on servicing is being prepared. Simultaneously, the Company is exploring the option of making this into a separate business vertical, offering end-to-end maintenance solutions for a wide variety of tyres. Further, plans to launch 20 WMC's in India in 2010 are also on the anvil. A training centre to educate customers on   new developments in trucking and wheel management is coming up shortly as well.
 
Besides,  the  Company's  proposed shift of its Bhandup,  Mumbai  plant  to Ambernath  in Thane, Maharashtra will lead to a significant improvement  in margins  with  the new plant being more energy efficient and  the  finished goods being produced not coming under the Octroi purview.
 
Considering the above, the future of the Company looks promising with the coming years expected to witness a trend of high growth for the business.
