BACKGROUND

 

Subject ('SpiceJet' or the 'Company') was incorporated on February 9, 1984 as a limited company under the Companies Act, 1956 and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited ('BSE'). The Company is engaged in the business of providing air transport services for the carriage of passengers. The Company is a low cost carrier ('LCC') operating under the brand name of 'SpiceJet' in India since May 23, 2005. The Company currently operates a fleet of 27 aircrafts across various routes in India as at March 31, 2011. SpiceJet has also obtained the permission of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to operate on selected routes outside India and has commenced international operations from October 2010.

 

During the year, pursuant to an Open Offer made by KAL Airways Private Limited and Mr. Kalanithi Maran (collectively referred to as the 'Acquirers'), the Acquirers have acquired, in aggregate, 156,528,305 equity shares of the Company constituting 38.66% of the then paid-up capital of the Company, including 31,077,500 equity shares acquired from Royal Holdings Services Limited (the 'Erstwhile Promoter'). Consequently, the Acquirers have become the largest shareholders in the Company and the Promoters of the Company.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Global and Indian Economy

 

The economy grew at 8.5% in 2010-11 buoyed by a 6.6% growth in the agricultural output. However, the inflation challenge that India has been facing over the last 12-18 months continues to be an area of concern. While food inflation trended down from last year's highs, rising crude prices and a more generalized inflation pose threats to the government's plan of achieving about 9 percent growth in the next financial year.

 

The Deloitte Global Economic Outlook Q2 2011 report notes - After slowing to a 20-month low in December 2010, industrial production grew 3.7 percent in January 2011. The production of capital goods weighed heavily on the sluggish performance as the sector logged an 18.6% decline during the month. Interestingly, consumer durables and consumer non-durables recorded growth rates of 23.3% and 6.9% respectively, indicating that domestic demand is still quite robust and that the fiscal stimulus program has indeed succeeded in encouraging spending. On the face of it, the positive movement in industries bodes well for economic growth. However, growth despite aggressive interest rate hikes by monetary authorities suggests that consumer demand is still very strong and could very well fuel demand-side inflation.

 

Most analysts have tempered India's growth forecast for the new fiscal from the Government's target of 9% to the 8.3-8.5% range. But, this growth, though moderated from earlier expectations, is still quite a robust one from a global view-point.

 

Indian Aviation Industry and Domestic Market Trends

 

Domestic passenger traffic grew by 18.8% during FY 2010-11 over the previous year while cycling a heady 16.5% growth during the previous fiscal clearly indicating robustness in the demand side of the business. The supply-side was however a story of 2 contrasting periods – the first half of the fiscal saw a supply-side growth of only 8% while the second half saw a 14% growth in capacity which was concentrated towards the latter part of the year.

 

Domestic passenger traffic crossed the 50 Million mark for the first time in India's aviation history ending the year at 54.5 Million passengers. And, needless to say, this growth was driven largely by the low-cost carriers including SpiceJet (28%) growing ahead of the domestic market 18.8% rate. As a result of this, the share of low-cost carriers in the domestic traffic continued to increase during FY 2010-11 and by end of the financial year nearly 45% of all domestic traffic was carried by the low-cost carriers. And if the low-fare services of the full-service carriers is included in this mix the share of the low-fare products reached 70% during the fiscal.

 

It is significant to note that despite such robust growth in the domestic aviation market, the share of Full Service Carriers continued to decline dropping to 31% of the total domestic travel from 37% during the previous fiscal. Clearly, Low Cost Carriers is the preferred option for passengers on domestic travel.

 

With the robust demand growth, there was a perceptible slow-down in the capacity conversion of Premium Service aircraft to Low Fare service by two large competitors. Despite this, the Low Fare product maintained a 24% share of the market and combined with the growing share of the traffic on Low Cost Carriers nearly accounted for 70% of the domestic traffic.

 

SpiceJet increased its market share during FY 2010-11 to 13.4% from 12.4% in the previous financial year and touched a historic high of 14.3% during January 2011.

Continuing the trend from the previous fiscal, the only market-share gainers in the domestic market were the Low Cost Airlines including SpiceJet gained 1.0 point to reach an annual market share of 13.4%.

 

Domestic Demand-Supply Scenario

 

During FY2009-10, the industry had seen the demand supply gap narrowing with capacity growing only at 4% while domestic demand grew by 16%. This trend continued during the first half of FY2010-11 too with a capacity growth of 8% while the demand grew by 17%. However, over the second half of the fiscal this trend started showing signs of reversal.

FUTURE OUTLOOK FOR SPICEJET

 

SpiceJet is the only listed airline in India to declare two consecutive years of an annual profit. In its six years of operations, the company's practices have set benchmarks for best cost management, aircraft utilization and brand image. It is the only airline that continues to invest heavily behind the brand with aggressive marketing strategies.

 

The industry outlook for FY 2011-12, is a little challenging. The second half of 2010-11 clearly demonstrated a surge in capacity induction and they expect that industry traffic growth will lag behind capacity growth for FY12 by atleast 4-5% points. This would mean that the industry would experience lower seat factors going forward. Also, Q4 FY11 clearly demonstrated the desperation by some of their larger competitors to irrationally drop fares in an effort to boost their seat-factors. They can clearly expect that yields during FY12 will remain under severe pressure due to these factors.

 

The rise in Crude Oil prices continued unabated during FY11 with 12 consecutive fortnightly increases in fuel price from October 2010 onwards. They expect that fuel prices will stabilize at these elevated levels especially with the current level of political uncertainty in the Middle-East and North African oil-producing nations. This will result in large fuel-cost driven cost pressures during FY 2012.

 

SpiceJet's foray into newer Tier-II and Tier-III markets, on the back of the Q-400 NextGen Turbo-prop aircraft during Q2 of FY12 will open up a completely new market for the company. The company has announced its plans for selecting Hyderabad as the first base for these aircraft and has planned to base the first 5 aircraft from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad. SpiceJet plans to operate a point-to-point service originating from Hyderabad and connecting over 10 cities in the south and central part of the country in the initial phase of launch.

 

The Q-400 routes will open up short-haul routes that are currently only served by some of the Full Service competitors and is strategically a very different direction than some of SpiceJet's direct low-cost competitors. The company is very optimistic that this strategic differentiation will add immensely to the share-holder value of the business.

 

With the planned induction of 5 new B-737 aircraft in 2011-12 SpiceJet will continue to grow their fleet of 28 B-737 aircraft as on March 31, 2011 while taking delivery of 11 new Q-400 Next Gen Turbo-prop aircraft from Bombardier Inc.

 

With the Boeing fleet, the company will continue to augment its current domestic network and increase frequency on high potential routes. Having seen reasonable success with the initial foray into Nepal and Sri Lanka, SpiceJet is looking to add more international destinations in the SAARC, Middle-East, CIS and South-East Asian regions and looks forward to building a larger South Asian network.

 

With a differentiated strategic ability with the induction of the Q-400 turbo-prop aircraft and the added international expansion SpiceJet believes that their business model will be robust in the long-term to add great value to their employees, partners, customers and share-holders.

EIILM Workshop on battling stress

KOLKATA: In the wake of recession and the stress that it amounts to, the first year PGPM students of Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management (EIILM) organised a workshop on how to survive under the hammer? Stress vs. Recession.

Prarrthana Pal Chowdhury, corporate sales manager Eastern India, Spicejet Limited and Kunal Chakraborty, head HRD, Metro Dairy were the panelists for the discussion, and were present to elucidate on recession related stress and give the students an overview on the industry they are employed in. When recession hit in 2008 it wrecked major havoc but in India we faced it the least. As Indians we are more panic stricken and hence the hue and cry over it, said Prarrthana. Speaking about the aviation industry she talked about the advent of low cost airlines and how they started emerging successfully from the time recession struck. The low-cost operating structure of the no-frills carrier aids in its success, she said.

Prarrthana spoke of a pragmatic approach to stress. According to her, one needs to have self-confidence and accept what comes their way; recession or not, a job doesnt come with a guarantee therefore one has to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances and take it in their stride. Being stressed would only add to the problem, she avered.

Kunal Chakraborty had something different to offer. He said, Stress is not always negative. It can bring out the best in individuals and this is called enstress. He gave a short presentation on how to survive from recession related stress.

From talking about the macroeconomic parameters that are affected due to recession, the behavioral manifestation and organisational level strategies for managing stress to employee level strategies and the kind of communication that has to be there between the employer and the employee, Kunal Chakraborty answered all questions students raised before him.

Students who attended the workshop had a lot to take back with them. We encourage students to organise workshops as frequently as possible. It gives them an insight into reality and they learn better, said professor Rajeshwari Deb, programme coordinator, PGPM.

No plan for bailout package to private airlines: Aviation Minister

 

India, December 2002 -- The government has once again clarified that there is no proposal under consideration for any kind of bailout package for loss making private airlines. The Indian aviation sector has been under pressure because of the high Jet fuel prices or Aviation turbine fuel (ATF), which account for almost 40% of the airlines total cost in India and depreciating rupee. 'No such proposal is under consideration of the Ministry' Civil Aviation Minister Vyalar Ravi said. However, he accepted that the several leading airlines in the country were suffering losses. During 2009-10, the Kingfisher Airlines has accrued a loss of Rs.12393.000 Millions whereas Jet Airlines had suffered a loss of Rs.4676.000 Millions and the Air India had accrued loss of Rs.55524.400 Millions. However, few private carrier such as Indigo and Spicejet were able to make profit of Rs.4847.000 Millions and Rs.670.000 Millions respectively. As per the latest report, Air India owed a sum of Rs.18804.000 Millions to Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Rs.4843.000 Millions to Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) as on September 30, Air India was also having due of Rs.4170.000 Millions to Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). Besides Air India, private airlines such as Jet Airways' owe Rs.6959.000 Millions outstanding due on September 30 to IOC and Rs.1532.400 Millions to BPCL. Kingfisher's outstanding debt to HPCL is around Rs.6367.900 Millions as on September 30. Meanwhile, it has been reported that the government is thinking of a close to Rs.300000.000 Millions bailout package for the national carrier, Indian Airlines over a period of 10 years. It will include considering writing-off Rs.45000.000 Millions cash loss of Air India, infusing an additional equity of Rs.67500.000 Millions and Rs.170000.000 Millions – 180000.000 Millions for its fleet acquisition programme.
