LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND OVERALL PERFORMANCE

During the year, the net turnover of the Company was Rs. 24878.800 millions. The softening of prices, by approximately 21% on an aggregate basis, and a 5% decline in the quantum of sale, impacted realizations. The second half of the financial year encountered logistics and regulatory constraints, which affected growth. Profit after Tax for the year was Rs. 5437.200 millions. Expenses were higher owing to the levy of an ad–valorem royalty of 10% on the iron ore prices declared by IBM.

 

The major contribution to profits was from the Mining Division, which recorded a total PBDT of Rs.10550.900 millions. There was substantial improvement in the performance of the Ferro Chem Division also, which posted a profit of Rs. 50.400 millions, against a loss of Rs.132.900 millions in the previous fiscal. The PBDT of the Wind Power Division also witnessed a surge, from Rs.113.700 millions in FY 2009 to Rs. 404.400 millions in FY 2010.

 

FINANCE

2,99,20,000, 9.5% Redeemable Preference Shares (Series –B) of Rs 100/each were redeemed on the 10th of April 2010. Further, 2992, 9.5% Secured Compulsorily Convertible Debentures (Series–C) of Rs 1.000 millions each were converted into 2,99,20,000, 9.5% Redeemable Preference Shares (SeriesC) of Rs 100/each on 11th April 2010.

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The Company will continue to sustain its performance and make profits in the years to come. However, there may be fluctuations, owing to factors such as a continuing global economic slowdown, the debt crisis in the Euro–zone, pricing strategies of the major global players, China’s steel production, demand and management of its currency. Fluctuations could also arise out of logistics constraints, further duty increases and domestic demand in India. India has established itself as one of the most stable economies and the Company should be able to maintain its standing as a key Indian player and one of India’s largest merchant iron ore mining companies. International iron ore prices could also be impacted by the levying of a windfall tax on iron ore exports by Australia and Brazil and the levy of additional export duty by the Indian Government.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

India’s economy registered a decisive recovery, even as other major economies struggled to recover from the severe economic downturn, which began in late2008 and persisted for much of 2009. The resurgence of India’s manufacturing sector, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2009, was highly encouraging. India and China have emerged as among the more stable and growth–oriented economies. The growth of the iron ore industry in Odisha, was impacted, largely due to regulatory restrictions and logistics constraints, particularly in the second half of FY 2010. The Company’s net sales declined by 23%, from Rs. 32382.4 millions in FY 2009 to Rs. 24878.8 millions in FY 2010. Profit before tax in FY 2010 was Rs. 7678.3 millions, compared to Rs. 14387.2 millions in FY 2009.

 

Global Steel and Iron Ore Market in 200910

Year 200910 saw the global economies on the mend. This was reflected in the gradual recovery of crude steel production in the developed economies running alongside substantial growth in the Chinese output. Crude steel production increased globally by 3.5% in 200910 over 200809 to 1295 Mt primarily because of a belligerent growth of 19% by China. China contributed to 46% of the total global steel production in 200910 which was higher by 6% over that in 200809. In the last quarter of 200910, iron ore spot prices increased by a whopping 30% with near record imports into China in December, 2009. This increased demand which remained consistent throughout the last quarter put considerable pressure on seaborne supplies from Australia and Brazil. There was tightness from India because of a resurgent steel industry. These events triggered off the setting up of a new index based quarterly pricing mechanism by the three majorsVale, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton.

 

Indian Steel and Iron Ore Market in 2009–10

India’s steel consumption increased by 7.6% in FY 2010, to 56.32 Mt, as against 52.35 Mt in FY 2009. The growth was driven by rising demand from the automobile, white goods, infrastructure and construction sectors, among others. Imports of steel products surged by 23% during the period. However, exports continued to be subdued, falling by 28.7% in FY 2010. The decline in exports was due to the slow recovery of demand in the primary Indian steel market. The sponge iron sector, a key consuming segment of iron ore in the domestic market has registered a 6% year on year growth in FY 10. The continued demand for long steel products like TMT bars and structural steel helped stabilize the prices of pig iron and ingot / billet in the beginning of FY 2010. Later in the year, the prices of domestic long steel products declined, hit by cheap imports of scrap and billet from various countries. However, a recovery in demand was witnessed after midFY 2010.

 

In mid–FY 2010, the Odisha Government strengthened the controls over mining operations and movement of iron ore by implementing several stringent measures. These measures had an adverse impact on overall mining operations in the State. There was a complete standstill in the supply chain of iron ore in Odisha during the fourth quarter of FY 2010. The imposition of a 10% advalorem royalty by the State Government and a 5% export duty by the Central Government has had a further negative impact on the iron ore market.

 

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

The Mining Division recorded a net revenue of Rs. 23533.7 millions during FY 2010, as against Rs. 30266.5 millions in FY 2009. The major reasons for the dip in performance were lower realization in the first half of the fiscal year, coupled with lower volumes in the second half owing to regulatory and logistics issues. The yearonyear increase in the PBDT of the Ferro–Chem Division was Rs. 183.3 millions. The Wind Power Division maintained its production levels and performance.
