MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Business Overview

 

Indian Gross Domestic Product and the Index of Industrial Production registered a growth of 7.2% (6.7%) and 10.4% (2.4%) respectively, inching their way back from the global economic shock, thanks to the strong fundamentals of Indian economy.

 

The global economic slowdown during 2008-09 impacted the performance of the automotive sector with sales falling to levels not seen since early 1990s, consumer sentiments touched an all time low and accessibility to finance was a major constraint.

 

During 2009-10, the global slowdown eased. The emerging economics grew at a faster pace; however the growth in the developed economies has been minimal or static despite massive governmental intervention. In India, the manufacturing sector including the automotive sector recovered from the slowdown witnessed during the second half of 2008-09. The following table shows the sales trend of the industry.

 

The domestic market maintained steady improvement over the year and grew significantly in the second half. Sales of cars, utility vehicles, MPVs, LCVs and two-wheelers grew throughout the year thanks to the stimulus offered by the Government in the form of excise duty cuts. The tractor segment enjoyed a higher growth rate supported by farm mechanization and subsidized interest rates. The MandHCV segment remained sluggish in the first half of the year. During the second half, all segments of automotive industry gained momentum as the stimulus offered by the Government had the lag effect on the entire industry. Higher disposable incomes, strong internal demand, lower interest rates on account of improved liquidity, accelerated depreciation scheme and increased outlay on infrastructure helped to improve and sustain the demand.

 

There was a minimal improvement in the sales of passenger cars during 2009 in the US and Europe. This was fueled by government incentives such as replacement of old cars with fuel-efficient cars. The CV industry has continued to struggle with sales falling by over 50% compared with peak levels. With high levels of unemployment

combined with low levels of consumer confidence, sales of passenger cars may remain flat during 2010.

 

Domestic Sales

 

In spite of increased competition in the aftermarket segment, the Company was able to improve its share and enjoy a growth over 2008-09 levels. Due to the significant recovery of the automobile sector and robust demand in the domestic market, especially from the second quarter of the financial year, the Company’s domestic sales grew from Rs 8330.000 Millions to Rs 10020.000 Millions, an increase of 20%.

 

Exports

 

The US and European markets faced an unprecedented decline in the volume of production due to the global economic crisis. Due to this, the Company’s exports were lower at Rs 3320.000 Millions as against Rs 4290.000 Millions in the previous year, a decline of 22%. The decline would have been steeper but for the increased sales of hubs and shafts and powder metal products from the Company’s SEZ and EOU factories. Volatility in exchange rates, combined with the continuing slump in demand from European customers, is bound to have a negative impact on the exports for the current year as well. The Company is planning to add new products and new customers to mitigate the decline in demand due to the sudden downturn in the market.

 

Financial Performance

 

Improved market share in the domestic segment, sharp decline in interest rates in the domestic and international

markets and stringent cost control measures helped the Company achieve better performance. The performance

of the Company was supported by the continuous efforts on reduction in working capital and reduced spending

on capital expenditure.

 

The Company continued to be under pressure due to rising manufacturing costs. Non-availability of power led to the Company purchasing power and resorting to self generation at higher costs. This was further compounded by an increase in freight rates and appreciation of the Rupee in the second half of the year. The Company incurred additional expenses on wages arising out of long-term wage settlements in respect of Puducherry and Hosur factories, and roll back of pay-cuts effected to management staff during the previous year. This further dented the margins.

 

The Company is consistent in adopting the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices in order to achieve a reasonable control over other operating expenses, thereby enhancing its cost competitiveness.

 

During the year, PBIDT (Profit before interest, foreign exchange fluctuation, depreciation and tax) was higher at Rs 1703.300 Millions as against Rs 1637.800 Millions in the previous year. Interest charges were lower at Rs 254.800 Millions against Rs 385.000 Millions in the previous year. Depreciation was higher at Rs 474.800 Millions (Rs 422.300 Millions) on account of increased capital expenditure incurred over the recent years.

 

Foreign exchange fluctuation resulted in a gain of Rs 104.900 Millions, as against a loss of Rs 607.000 Millions in the previous year. In line with the Accounting Standard AS-11 (dealing with the effects of change in foreign exchange rates) and to ensure the principles of consistency, the Company recognizes the exchange differences arising out foreign currency denominated items as income or expense in the profit and loss statements.

 

Profit before tax was higher at Rs 1078.500 Millions (Rs 223.500 Millions). Profit after tax amounted to Rs 750.100 Millions (Rs 174.100 Millions). Considering the slow start at the beginning of the year, the Company has been able to post healthy profits.

 

Subsidiaries

 

The subsidiaries showed a mixed performance. Subsidiaries engaged in servicing the requirements of emerging markets have performed better than in the previous year. Subsidiaries catering to developed markets have performed poorly because of adverse market conditions. Sales and other income of subsidiaries declined to Rs 4153.600 Millions from Rs 5761.500 Millions. The subsidiaries made a cash loss of Rs 97.300 Millions as against cash profit of Rs 380.400 Millions during the previous financial year. Net Loss amount to Rs 277.900 Millions as against net profit of Rs 186.200 Millions in the earlier year.
