MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Global economy:

 

The year 2009 witnessed the harsh fallout of the unprecedented global economic turmoil. As per IMF estimates (January 2010), global economic growth contracted around 0.8%, led by the advanced economies which contracted 3.2% while emerging economies declined 400 bps to 1.7% in 2009 (2.1% in 2008). The intensity of the global meltdown in 2009 would have been harsher but for China and India. The cumulative efforts of most governments curtailed the depth, span and intensity of the economic catastrophe, although the possibility of some economies defaulting continues to haunt the world. IMF estimates suggest a positive economic rebound in 2010 with the global economy projected to grow at 3.9%; advanced economies is expected to grow 530 bps to an estimated 2.1% while the emerging world is expected to grow 390 bps to about 6%. Further, WTO projects world

trade to expand 9.5% with the advanced world increasing 7.5% and the emerging world 11%.

 

Emerging world rules the future:

 

Over the last decade, the global economy was primarily driven by the emerging world, China and India being the two most important contributors. This trend is expected to sustain. This is because of an important reality – emerging economies have multiple engines catalysing their economic growth: demographic advantage, growing industrialisation and increasing urbanisation. Through the global meltdown, the advanced economies suffered the most and are expected to take the longest to revive. The emerging economies on the other hand, displayed their resilience and retrieved the global economy from the brink, strengthening their prospects of becoming preferred investment destinations. The possibility that Asia could become the world’s largest economic region by 2030 is not idle speculation. It seems very plausible based on what Asia has already achieved in recent decades: emerging Asia’s share of world trade has doubled and of world GDP tripled in just the past two decades.

 

Indian economic overview:

 

Double-digit industrial growth saw the Indian economy expanding 7.4% in 2009-10, despite drought and a global slowdown. The gross domestic product (GDP) was Rs. 44640810.000 millions (at 2004-05 prices), surpassing the earlier estimate of 7.2% growth over the previous year's Rs. 41549730.000 millions. The Indian economy’s stellar performance was driven by the manufacturing sector’s robust performance on the back of government and consumer  pending. He sector emerged as the best performer, growing 10.8% in 2009-10 as against 8.9% in 2008-09, outpacing the services sector. While manufacturing activity pushed the growth, agriculture grew 0.2% during the year as opposed to a 0.2%estimated decline, despite the worst drought in three decades, floods in some areas and resulting impact on kharif crop production.

 

As on March 26, 2010, India's foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 277.04 billion, an increase of USD 24.71 billion over the same period in the previous year (source: Reserve Bank of India's Weekly Statistical Supplement). India received FDI worth USD 20.92 billion during April-December 2009, taking the cumulative amount of FDI inflows to USD 127.46 billion in December 2009, according to the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. Government estimates suggest that the Indian economy will grow 8.5% in 2010-11, driven by better farm output and global recovery. However, slower growth in the service sector, widening fiscal deficit, rising inflation, volatile exchange rate and a probable impact on balance of payments arising out of crude prices remain serious concerns of the Indian economy.

 

Impact of economic resurgence:

 

Auto: Automobile production touched record highs in 2009-10 on the back of positive consumer sentiment. Car production rose 25%, the fastest in six years, to 1.950 millions and motorcycle production climbed 26% to 8.400 millions. In the passenger car segment, volumes of the two car majors, Maruti and Hyundai Motors, grew 33% and 18% year-onyear. Telecom: According to the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the telecommunication sector, which includes radio paging, mobile services and basic telephone services, attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) worth Rs. 108,110 million in 2009-10, a growth of 17.12% over the previous year. In March 2010, Bharti Airtel bought the African operations of Kuwait-based Zain Telecom for USD 10.7 billion, driving the Indian player into the league of top ten telecom players globally. According to the Economic Survey 2009-10, the production of telecom equipment in value terms increased from USD 9 billion in 2007-08 to USD 10.53 billion in 2008-09 and is expected to be USD 12.4 billion in 2009-10.

 

IT & ITeS: The aggregate revenue from the IT-BPO industry is expected to grow by over 5% and reach USD 73.10 billion in 2009-10 compared with USD 69.40 billion in 2008-09. The IT-ITeS industry’s contribution to the GDP increased from 6% in 2008-09 to 6.10% in 2009-10 (Source: Department of Information Technology).

 

Indian battery market:

 

The domestic storage battery market (organised sector) is estimated at about Rs. 65 billion at current lead prices, comprising industrial batteries (Rs. 32 billion) and automotive batteries (Rs. 33 billion) businesses. Moreover, the unorganised sector is estimated at Rs. 20-25 billion. The automotive battery business accounts for about 55% of sales value, while the industrial battery business accounts for the remaining 45%. The automotive battery business can be further divided into the OEM and aftermarket sectors. Demand for automotive batteries largely depends on the growth of automobile OEMs and the aftermarket. During the year, the automotive batteries market grew about 30% in OEM and about 10% in the replacement market. The OEM and replacement markets are expected to experience about 18% growth in the segment OEM and 11% in the aftermarket segment in 2010-11. The growth in the industrial batteries business is driven by infrastructure and technology-related industries such as telecommunications, UPS and power. VRLA technology caters to 75% of the industrial storage battery market. The ongoing slowdown in telecom impacted the offtake and price of VRLA batteries, after healthy growth in the recent threefour years. The market for UPS batteries is expected to grow about 10% in 2010- 11, aided by a reviving momentum in the services sector and e-initiatives of the Government(s) of India.

 

Business overview:

 

The Industrial Batteries Business Unit manufactures Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries, catering to the growing needs of the telecom, UPS back-up, railways and power utility sectors. Its strong ties with leading customers resulted in 34% CAGR over the past four years leading to 2009-10. Today, the unit is a preferred battery supplier to all major telecom infrastructure and service providers, one of the largest battery suppliers to Indian utilities and preferred partner of multinational telecom equipment manufacturers and power companies. Over the recent years, the unit established a competent marketing and service network – 75 strong Authorised QuantaTM Alliance (AQuA) partners with pan-India reach – to cater to the growing UPS segment. Across the last two years, the unit doubled the capacities of both LVRLA and MVRLA product lines, enabling scale efficiencies in manufacturing operations.

 

Current outlook:

 

The industrial battery market is largely influenced by demand in telecom and UPS segments while renewable energy and motive power sectors are likely to emerge as new growth drivers. Telecom: The Indian telecom market came of age last year, emerging as one of the world’s fastest growing and most competitive markets. But intense competition in the wireless-dominated telecom services in the country also forced operators to reduce tariffs to the brink of sustainability. As a fallout, operators will pursue new revenue-generating opportunities as the subscriber growth rates will moderate. Tariff stability, potential M and As, launch of 3G/BWA services and introduction of mobile number portability are some of the key developments that will characterise the telecom industry dynamics during FY11. While the network expansion will focus on reaching rural subscribers, the corresponding challenges in power supply management in power deficit geographies will trigger more innovative products, services and business models in the telecom network power solutions. With India’s tower population crossing over 350,000 across the country, network expansion activity slowed; the focus of tower operating companies is on enhancing efficiency and maximizing utility by increasing the tenancy ratio. The demand for batteries is expected to be moderate with marginal or flat growth, with battery replacement cycle driving demand. As the battery industry witnessed significant additions in capacity by existing suppliers as well as new entrants, supply outstripped demand requirements, creating unfavourable pricing trends in the industry. While this put a pressure on margins, the Company is leveraging its strong customer relationships to enhance market share and sustain volume growth. UPS – Large scale computerisation of banking networks and government departments, aggressive growth in the IT sector and increasing demand for data services catalysed UPS sales. Hence, battery demand in this segment witnessed over 15% CAGR across the last five years. PC sales, server sales and laptop sales continued to see a healthy growth in demand at 15% CAGR. Addition of high powered data centres in telecom, IT, BFIS and government sectors, continued growth in ATM population at 18% CAGR and massive government-funded projects such  as Accelerated Power Development and Reform Program (APDRP), National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), will continue to drive the demand for UPS batteries. The Company is rightly poised to capitalize on this opportunity with the recently expanded capacity for UPS batteries, countrywide AQuATM channel network and strong OE supply relationships. They outpaced market growth significantly with 28% market share in FY10 and will continue to drive volumes aggressively. While imports sources and upcoming players will continue to exert a pressure on realisations, they will leverage their product and channel strengths to emerge as a market leader over the next couple of years.

The board of directors have approved a “One-Time Special Dividend” of Rs.2 per share, on the paid up equity share capital of Rs. 2/- each, to commemorate the silver jubilee occasion of the Company


During the third quarter, the Industrial Battery business performed satisfactorily recording moderate volume growth. While we have managed to garner higher market share in telecom segment, the environment continues to be challenging with lower demand, highly competitive prices and spiraling input costs. Continued focus on growth in UPS market segment, prudent capacity utilization and operational efficiency measures have helped to retain dominant market share.


During the quarter, the Company unveiled Amaron VoltTM Hi-Life batteries for critical industrial applications. AMARON VoltTM is a specialized 2V high integrity series assuring green energy even in rural and harsh outdoor operating conditions, meeting the demanding application requirement of reliable backup power in Indian telecom market.

The Company is confident of achieving its volume projections for the ensuing quarter. While a marginal price revision in telecom segment is witnessed in Q3, the company believes that the increasing Lead prices would continue to exert pressure on margins.


In the Automotive battery business, the Company gained in volumes from OEM segment. The company stands committed to improve the market share in OEM segment. The company has firmed up plans for entry into OEMs of Two-wheelers with VRLA technology, currently sold in aftermarket.


The company is steadily improving its market share in aftermarket and is confident of achieving the growth in volumes. The company is expanding the distribution network to address the growth opportunity, while also supporting the additional capacity coming on stream progressively in next 9 months. However, the increasing Lead prices would impact the profitability. Commenting on the Q3 performance, Mr. Jayadev Galla, Managing Director, Amara Raja Batteries said, “The Company is pleased to announce a one-time dividend to commemorate the 25th year of existence. The business units thrive in the face of challenges and are turning in a satisfactory performance. The Company will continue to be focussed about growth in volumes, market shares and internal efficiencies.”

These five colours come together as a swirling mass to form a dynamic circle of unparalleled energy. This new form of energy is a reflection of Amara Raja, an emblem of everything that defines – ‘The Amara Raja Way’.


Launching the new identity of the group, Dr. Ramachandra N. Galla, Chairman, Amara Raja Group said, “Twenty five years ago Amara Raja Group started its journey with a vision of inclusive and sustainable growth in delivering world class products. The group has grown from one company to 7 companies with a turnover of Rs 2500 cr, employing over 7000 people across the country with 12 manufacturing units spread over 4 manufacturing complexes providing non migratory jobs.”


He further added, “The journey witnessed the Amara Raja Group act as an agent of change bringing about transformation in communities and markets that it operates in and the way in which it has built its work culture. Over 85% of our employees at manufacturing units who came in as untrained rural hands are now part of world-class workforce”.


Marking the occasion, Mr. Jayadev Galla, Managing Director, Amara Raja Batteries Limited said, “The shape and form of the new identity represents a generational change as we transform from a set of individual companies into a diversified group. The identity also symbolizes the group’s five core values through nature’s five elements and articulated through its five colours. The baseline-‘Gotta be a Better Way’ reflects our attitude of constantly looking for better ways to do things.”


He went on to say, “We have selected high social impact sectors aligned with domestic and global megatrends which include Energy, Convergence Technology & Media, Food, Transport, Infrastructure & Housing and Industrial Services. With the target of US $ 2 billion by 2015 and a vision of US $ 25 billion by 2025, we will be building businesses driven by the growth trends in these sectors and contribute to the Nation’s aspirations as well as reach the intended height.”


Amara Raja Digital World City (ARDWC) will be one of India’s largest integrated electronics manufacturing parks. ARDWC spread over 500 acres is expected to create over 20,000 jobs. In this large infrastructure project, Amara Raja group will also be one of the anchor organizations. This project will fuel Amara Raja Group’s aim to achieve US $ 2 billion revenue by 2015.
