LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

CORPORATE PERFORMANCE

 

The Indian Economy recorded robust growth and steady fiscal consolidation in the year 2010-11. The growth rate of the Economy has been 8.6% in the financial year 2010-11 and is expected to be around 9% in the next fiscal i.e the current year. The growth in the agriculture sector is expected to be around 5.4% while growth in the manufacturing and services sectors has registered impressive gains of 7% and 9.5% respectively.

 

Taking cue from the strong growth indicators, the tractor industry also recorded an impressive growth of 24% during the year. As a result, the Company also showed a marginally better performance during the year, recording growth in terms of both Production and Sales, over that of the previous year. During the year, the Company achieved a Production level of Rs.1872.400 Millions (4812 Nos. of Tractors) as against Rs. 1696.500 Millions (4652 Nos. of Tractors), recorded in the previous year, with a growth of 10%.In terms of Sales also the Company registered a growth of 4% at Rs.2008.600 Millions (4920Nos. of Tractors) compared to Rs.1916.400 Millions (4901 Nos. of Tractors) achieved in the previous year.

 

At the consolidated level, the Company along with its Subsidiaries achieved an aggregate Production of Rs. 3865.900 Millions and Sales of Rs. 4490.300 Millions for the year2010-11. On a comparative basis, the performance was marginally better than that of the previous year.

 

 

OPERATING RESULTS

 

Despite the marginal growth in Sales registered during the year, the Operations of the Company resulted in a Net Loss of Rs.792.400 Millions during 2010-11, when compared with Rs. 529.100 Millions recorded in the previous Year, which was mainly due to the additional provisions required to be made owing to the recent enhancement in the ceiling amount of gratuity payable to retiring employees from Rs. 0.350 Million to Rs.1.000 Million and the higher interest burdens on account of Loans availed from the Govt of India under various heads.

 

 

FINANCIAL POSITION

 

Due to liquidity constraints, the production volume of Tractors has reduced resulting in a turnover of Rs. 2000.600 Million during the year. Further, the high interest on account of loan availed from Government of India to discharge liabilities, affected the bottom line to a large extent.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

Indian Tractor Industry's Annual growth rate is expected to be around 8-10%; marginally higher than that of the historical average of 6-8%. The growth drivers of Tractor Industry such as boost in rural economy, increased focus on agriculture and rural development, credit availability, shorter replacement cycle, several policy initiatives by the Government, etc., are aiding the growth trends. Further, due to better irrigation facilities, farmers are resorting to multiple cropping through farm mechanisation for achieving higher productivity and output. All these factors are likely to contribute to appositive growth in its performance in the current Financial Year 2011-12.

 

In fact, the performance of the Company for the first quarter of the year has seen a positive upturn with a 10% growth in production compared to the achievement of the corresponding period of the previous year, with a similar growth of 2% in Sales for the Quarter compared to the same period of the previous year. The Tractor Business Group has already initiated a host of measures towards performance improvement in right earnest, by appointment of new Distributors and Dealers in potential areas/territories, up gradation of the tractors engines for compliance to new emission norms for all models of tractors, setting up of a new paint plant, entering into Mo Us with Banks/Financing Agencies for priority loan sanction for the purchase of HMT Tractors, dynamic business strategies, etc., which are expected to yield results in the current financial year.

 

The future plans of the Company envisages investment in plant modernization and technology up gradation which will contribute to better productivity and give a thrust to the growth trends in the coming years. The Company has engaged the services of a consultancy firm to prepare a Business Plans comprising various strategic initiatives to sustain the operations and achieve growth.

Despite these constraints, this Subsidiary could achieve a Sales Rs. 88.200 Millions and Production of Rs. 106.200 Millions during the year. The Net Loss for the year stood at Rs. 2537.400 Millions as compared to Rs. 1683.500 Millions incurred during the previous year.

• HMT Chinar Watches Limited

 

The performance of this Subsidiary could not be sustained at optimum levels due to the ongoing troubled situation in the J&K Valley apart from shortage of working capital to enhance production levels. Majority of the employees have been separated on VRS leaving about 114 employees at Srinagar and Jammu Units of the Subsidiary. Under these circumstances, the Subsidiary could achieve only a meager Sales of Rs. 1.000 Millions during the year compared to Rs. 7.300 Millions achieved during the previous year, while in terms of Production, it was at the level of only Rs. 1.200 Millions for the year. As a result of the lower levels of operations, the Subsidiary incurred a Net loss of Rs. 454.000 Millions during the year. The Subsidiary was able to reduce its manpower by introduction of VRS, funded by Government of India.

 

 

• HMT (International) Limited

The performance of this Subsidiary in terms of orders, sales and profits during the year was marginally less amidst global financial crisis affecting delay/shelving of procurement plans by major customers. The Subsidiary has maintained its consistent dividend payment record and has declared a dividend of 20% on the Paid up equity Share Capital, for the year 2010-11. During the year, this Subsidiary was able to successfully obtain the re-certification of ISO9001-2008from the certifying agencies.

 

 

• HMT Bearings Limited

 

This Subsidiary achieved a higher Sales turnover of Rs. 114.400 Millions during the year as compared to Rs. 68.400 Millions achieved during the previous year. The achievement in terms of Production during the year was also higher at Rs. 111.800 Millions as compared to Rs. 56.200 Millions recorded in the previous year. The Subsidiary incurred a Net Loss of Rs. 213.200 Millions during the year compared to Rs. 153.100 Millions recorded in the previous year, which was mainly due to higher incidence of VRS ex gratia. The Subsidiary was able to reduce its manpower by introduction of VRS, funded by Government of India Loan. A total of 103 employees have been retired by the Subsidiary during the year 2010-11involving an outgo of Rs. 106.700 Millions, reducing its manpower strength to 89 as on31.3.2011.

JOINT VENTURE COMPANY

 

• SUDMO-HMT Process Engineers (India) Limited

 

There were no business operations by this Joint Venture Company during the year. For the financial year 2010-11, this Company showed a Net Profit after tax of Rs.0.068 Million on account of the interest income of Rs. 0.283 Million, out of the fixed deposits kept with the Banks.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

A. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

GENERAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT:

 

Global economy is in recovery path. Growth in both, advanced economies and emerging/developing economies outpaced initial expectations. This raises hopes for sustained, though moderately paced global recovery during the FY 2011-12.

 

With the improved domestic macroeconomic scenario, the Indian economy is reported to have grown at an estimated 8.6% in the previous year. GDP growth during 2010-11 reversed the negative trend, aided by a rebound in agricultural growth owing to the overall good monsoon reported during the year. The index of industrial production (IIP), which grew by10.7 per cent during the first half of last year, moderated subsequently, bringing down the overall growth for 2010-11 to about 7.8 per cent. The non-agricultural growth, however, was slightly below par. Particularly significant was the slowdown in capital goods production and investment spending due to the inflationary trends reported in the second half of the previous year.

 

The services sector, backed by the IT revolution, remained the biggest contributor to the national GDP, with a contribution of 58.4%. The industrial sector contributed 24.1%while the agricultural sector contributed 17.5% to the GDP.

 

 

GROWTH OUTLOOK

 

It is also crucial to understand that India is driven primarily by domestic (consumer) consumption. This stands in marked contrast to Japan, the Asian Tigers and now China, all of whom have followed the export-oriented model. With the massive growth of the Indian middle class, India may become Asia's first major 'buy' economy.

 

Indian Economic Growth in 2011-12 is expected to stay close to the trend. Downside risks to growth and upside risks to inflation have increased Growth risks on account of the climbing up of the oil prices to uneasy levels and some moderation in investment. GDP growth for 2011-12, is expected to be around 8 per cent as per current trends and projections.

 

The growth momentum is likely to sustain close to trend in the current FY 2011 -12 as well, aided by predicted normal monsoon, demand conditions and positive lead indicators for services. Risks to growth, however, arise from input cost pressures due to the rising inflation and fuel prices.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS AND TRACTOR INDUSTRY IN INDIA

 

Tractor industry (Inland) registered a growth of 24 % during 2010-11 over the year 2009-10. The market leader viz Mahindra and Mahindra (M&M) maintained their market leadership with 39.62% market share followed by TAFE (21%) and Escorts (12.13%). The growth trend was observed due to better economic condition and agricultural growth in India. Infrastructure projects have boosted the sale of higher HP Tractors. The top three companies are enjoying approx. 72.6 % market share of entire Tractor industry, with the result, the survival of the smaller players is continuously threatened. HMT's market share in this was a marginal 0.90% of the total Industry off take.

 

A comparative study of the segment-wise growth of the Tractor Industry over the previous year is given below.

 

• Below 20 HP tractors which has 1.03% share of total market grew by 25.4 %

• 20 HP to 30 HP tractors which has 12.36% share of total market showed negative growth of 2.27%

• 31 HP to 40 HP tractors which has 36.78% share of total market grew by 4.36%

• 41 HP to 50 HP tractors which has 30.51% share of total market grew by29.09%

• Above 51 HP tractors which has 19.31% share of total market grew by 34.58% which is highest growth segment

 

The Tractor Industry is expected to continue its growth story during 2011-12 as well, due to better economic conditions and thrust of govt, on Agriculture. Tractor sales are expected to witness a growth of about 10% -15% during 2011 -12. On the other hand, the demand for I.P. Engines will also show an upward trend due to shortage of power and the need for more installation of cellular communication Towers across the Country.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

The Tractor Industry will continue to grow in the current Fiscal 2011 -12 due to better economic conditions and thrust of govt, on Agriculture. As a result the Tractor sales are expected to witness growth of 10% -15% during the year. Demand for I.P. Engines is also expected to go up due to shortage of power and installation of cellular towers.
