The Company also progressed with its other projects at various stages of their developments. The report on Management Discussion and Analysis (MDA), which forms part of this report, inter-alia, deals comprehensively with the operations and also current and future outlook of the Company.

 

 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

THE INDIAN ECONOMY

 

According to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI) estimates, the Indian economy registered a growth of 8.5% in FY2011 driven by the agriculture, manufacturing sector, government and consumer spending. Financial, insurance, real estate and business services retained their growth momentum at around 10% in FY2011. Strong industrial output and growing consumer confidence have been increasingly attracting foreign investors into the country. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), India ranked second among global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) destinations in 2010 and will continue to remain among the top five most attractive destinations for international investors during 2011-12.

 

With respect to India’s real estate sector, the industry market size is expected to reach US$ 180 billion by 2020. This is also one of the highest FDI attracting sectors in India, having recorded inflows in excess of US$ 9.5 billion during April 2000 - January 2011. However, the FDI coming into the real estate sector fell by more than 60% in the first 10 months of 2010- 11 to US$ 1 billion as compared to US$ 2.6 billion in corresponding period of previous year. Despite this temporary slowdown, the FDI flow into India’s real estate sector is expected to witness an addition of US$ 21 billion over the next 10 years. The current contribution of the real estate sector to India’s GDP is approximately 5%, which is also expected to grow in line with a minimum GDP growth rate of 8%+ in the coming years.

 

The Indian Economy is currently gripped by a combination of rising inflation, high interest rate, liquidity crunch and slowdown in industrial output. In an effort to curb the rising inflation, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked both the repo rate and the reverse repo rate by 50 basis points (half of one percent) to 8.0% and 7.0% respectively in July 2011. The RBI has raised key policy rates for the eleventh time since March 2010, leading all financial institutions to hike their lending rates. While this might be an appropriate measure to bring inflation under control, it is likely to impact the profitability of many sectors, real estate being one among them.

 

Since most banks have already reduced their exposure to the real estate sector with developers owing more than Rs.250 billion debt, this series of increase in lending rates comes as a serious challenge to the sector. Developers have to turn to the private sector for financing construction, which inevitably comes at a higher price. This, in turn, would increase the cost of construction in the near term. The demand for commercial spaces and malls have been witnessing an upturn recently due to a shortage of quality retail space in metro cities such as Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore. The leasing activity in these areas has increased, as retailers are confident that the pentup demand for consumer spending is not about to slow down anytime soon. Besides retail, the market is witnessing a strong rebound in demand for office spaces by Banking, Financial Service and Insurance (BFSI) sector, aviation, consulting and IT/ITES services. Despite economic and liquidity challenges in the short term, the Indian real estate industry is set on a path of steady long term growth with intermittent corrections.

 

The primary reason for this is the strength of India’s age demographics in which a high proportion of English comprehending young working professionals is growing in number, and a massive increase in the number of households with discretionary spending power, leading to retail and domestic demand becoming a key impetus to the economy. With approximately 55% of India’s workforce earning their livelihood and producing around 19% of India’s GDP, it continues to be a key part in the Indian economy.

 

With quantum rise in lndia’s overall infrastructure investment and bolstered by an increasing affluent populace with rising consumption and dwelling development, PML is well positioned to benefit from the robust domestic consumption story.

 

 

 

THE RETAIL SECTOR

 

Cushman and Wakefield Research computes India’s retail market size at approximately US$ 600 billion in 2010; while the organised retail market accounts for US$ 50 billion. The retail market in India is expected to witness a surge in demand on account of the country’s economic environment showing steady growth, coupled with improvement in employment and consumption expenditure levels.

 

The demand for retail space in malls across India is expected to reach approximately 55.26 million sq. ft. by 2014. Presently, there are over 200 malls across India with total retail space of approximately 56 million sq. ft. of these, NCR itself accounts for approximately 30% of the mall supply in the country. Besides malls, main streets accounts for a significant share of retail space in the country. The top seven cities are expected to witness about 53% of the total demand for retail space in malls across India. NCR, Mumbai and Bangalore are expected to account for about 37% of the total demand. Bangalore is likely to witness the highest cumulative demand for mall space at approximately 7.7 million sq. ft by 2014, closely followed by Mumbai with demand anticipated at 6.5 million sq. ft.

 

The retail market is picking up its pace by evolving as a more organised sector. Developers’ bid to take advantage of the rapid growth in the retail sector prior to the economic slowdown, without proper studies, led to an oversupply situation in many micro markets and today a number of mall developments are under different stages of construction all across the country.

 

To a great extent, the supply has overshot the growth in demand, primarily across the top seven cities of India. However, by 2013, the situation is likely to stabilise with a more assessed supply likely to enter the market while the demand also steadily increases over a period of time. As an example, in Kolkata, Mumbai and Bangalore, the demand-supply dynamics has played itself out better and may probably balance out in the long-term.

 

 

THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR

 

One of the key reasons for the growth of the Indian Hospitality sector has been the steady growth in the overall economy and substantial growth in sectors including information technology, telecom, banking and finance, insurance, construction, retail and real estate. According to Cushman and Wakefield, India is fast becoming one of the most preferred destinations among international tourists. Moreover, given the growing number of foreign tourists, the hospitality sector in India is expected to rise to US$ 275 billion in the next 10 years. The sector is also expected to see investments of over US$ 11 billion in the next two to three years. By CY2011, about 40 international brands are expected to be present in India.

 

However, the sector has witnessed a dip in tariffs and occupancy lately, primarily on account of the economic slowdown, coupled with terrorism incidents and also new supply entering the market. While the average occupancy rates in NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai are expected to drop to a low of 56%, 58%, 52% and 53%, respectively, it is likely that the drivers of demand remain strong and are likely to facilitate the market revival relatively quickly. The chart above illustrates the positioning of each market in perspective of the marketwide occupancy in 2010, with the population size as per the 2001 census and the quantum of supply in each market in 2010 (as illustrated by the size of each sphere).

 

All eight markets are expected to witness above 10% growth in demand year-on-year over the next five years, with NCR leading at 18%, followed by Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune and Mumbai. This compares to Chennai and Ahmedabad leading the eight cities with the highest average growth of 19%, respectively, in rooms supply over the next five years, followed by NCR (18%), Kolkata (17%), Bangalore (15%), Hyderabad (15%), Pune (14%) and Mumbai (11%).

 

 

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

 

The demand-supply scenario in India’s residential real estate sector is dependent on factors viz. urbanization, disposable income levels, access to finance and the trend towards nuclear families. Non Resident Indians (NRIs) and High Net worth Individuals (HNIs), too are key potential buyers in the high end and premium residential categories in India. Growing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15% by 2014, the pan-India cumulative residential demand is estimated to stand at approximately 4.25 million units. About 60% of total estimated demand by 2014 is spread across India’s top seven cities, with Tier I metropolitan cities such as the NCR and Mumbai expected to account for approximately 40% of total demand. Mumbai is likely to witness the highest cumulative demand growth of 23%, followed by NCR, which is likely to witness a growth of about 20%.

 

While the housing sector has recorded healthy demand over the last few quarters, supply largely remains constrained owing to the slow pace of construction activity during 2009-10. As a result of which, demand across the top seven cities is estimated by Cushman and Wakefield to be three times higher than supply during 2010–14. However, this ratio differs within the segments where this gap is higher for affordable and mid segment when compared to high end and luxury segment. Across the major seven cities, while mid range housing segment is expected to witness about three times higher demand than upcoming supply, high end segment is expected to witness a demand supply gap of approximately 1.5 times.

 

 

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEASING

 

The Pan-India office space demand over the next five years (2010–14) is estimated to be approximately 240.7 million sq. ft., of which the top three cities comprise of 46% of the total demand. Cities such as Kolkata and Chennai are, however, likely to generate demand at a faster pace at a CAGR of approximately 22% and 17%, respectively. Bangalore is expected to witness the highest cumulative demand of 42.1 million sq. ft. during the period, followed by Mumbai, owing to the increasing interest from corporate firms and renewed growth from the IT/ITeS sector. The demand, which was initially led by telecom and pharmaceutical industries in 2009, has now been strengthened further by improving conditions in BFSI and IT/ITES sectors.

 

On the supply side, Mumbai is likely to witness the highest addition to stock during the period, with 39.7 million sq. ft. of office space likely to get operational by 2012. The growth in demand during the same period is expected to be in line with the supply over the years, which will most likely sustain the values at current levels. Bangalore will be the only major Indian city where demand exceeds new supply each year. Although, demand appears to exceed new supply consecutively during 2011-13, it may not imply a considerable strengthening of license fees from current levels, as they have been firm in the recent years vis-ŕ-vis other cities where license fees have declined.

 

 

OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

A key pillar supporting the Company’s growth momentum is its ability to also establish customized and innovative commercial arrangements with its licensees. Depending on various business factors, they include a judicious combination of basic Minimum Guarantees (MG) and Revenue Share that offer retailers attractive terms and company the opportunity to act as a stakeholder in the retailer’s business. As each retail centre matures into high traffic malls with strong sales, PML expects to keep improving the ratio of its shared revenue income, giving the Company an upside on its revenue earning potential.

 

PML Group boasts of “The Largest Retail Led Mixed Use Developments” of around 15+ million sq. ft. within the country, comprising of Malls, Hospitality, Commercial and Residential developments, with many of its projects expected to be completed between FY2011 and FY2013. PML has one of the largest leasing teams in the country with over 50 professionals. The leasing team has been able to close main anchor commitments for all the PML projects – Pune, Bangalore, Kurla and Chennai. It has created long-term symbiotic relationships with leading domestic and international brand houses. For several brands, company has become a single window platform to launch them on a pan India basis through the organised retail market. Going forward, the Company is receiving avid interest from leading international brands that are looking to step into the Indian market through the most appropriate environments that complement their brands and that give them access to the right kind of aspirational consumers. Phoenix Marketcities are fast becoming an indispensible beachhead for many of these global luxury brands looking to enter India.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Despite the current soft economic conditions on the global and domestic front, the outlook for subject’s business remains bright. Consumption in Tier I urban markets continue to be strong and retailers present at High Street Phoenix and Palladium malls continue to experience record footfalls and revenues. As of June 2011, Phoenix Marketcity, Pune, has commenced operations and is experiencing excellent response from the marketplace. Going forward, the Company also plans to launch three other Marketcity projects (Bangalore, Mumbai and Chennai) in close succession during FY2012, adding further strength to the Group’s growth momentum. Over the medium term, the Company will have several residential and commercial projects constructed and available for sale across the four key Tier I cities, adding further cash flows to its revenue streams. Going forward, the continued active management of all its operational assets should hold the Company in good stead.

Subject has a long history, dating back to 1905 when it began operations as a textile manufacturing company on 17.3 acres land in Lower Parel, Mumbai which housed the Phoenix Textile Mills. The mill closed down over a decade ago and a defunct industrial area has now been transformed into High Street Phoenix, a successful shopping complex, with many brands, such as Big Bazaar, Lifestyle, Pantaloon, and Marks and Spencer’s to name a few. The place is also popular for its entertainment, bowling alleys, and restaurants.

 

Company started the process of converting its existing mill land into a modern, multi-use property in 1987, and thereby starting a new phenomenon of mill-land redevelopment in Mumbai and a new chapter in its own business operations. Located at Lower Parel in the heart of Mumbai, High Street Phoenix has emerged as the most frequented destination in Mumbai. From luxury retail stores in Palladium Mall to monthly household shopping at Big Bazaar, High Street Phoenix has a wide range of options for retail buyers, thereby ensuring significant footfalls for its tenants. It covers 3.15 million square feet of space that has been leased out to a number of reputed tenants.

 

HSP’s portfolio offers over 250 licenses covering 3.0 million sq. ft. of mixed use development consisting of retail, entertainment, commercial, parking and residential complexes and provides subject a solid platform from which to operate. Increased footfall, high occupancy, strong retailer demand and stable income show the resilience and attractiveness of HSP as a retail and commercial destination.

 

The concentration of a number of famous and highly revered brands at the Lower Parel facility has given the HSP location stronger USPs in gaining the attention of the Mumbai consumption market. A recorded footfall of around 12 million for FY 2010 and solid income from operations of Rs.1,158 mn, confirmed the direction of their strategy towards infrastructure enhancements, space expansion, higher quality and new contemporary global brands.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

RETAIL SECTOR

 

The Retail revolution in India has been driven by a growth of consumerism, which has been helped by a consistent expansion of the economy, rapid urbanization levels and favourable demographics. The expanding middle class has also experienced rising income levels, a brand consciousness and the increasing focus towards organised retail.

 

In 2010, India witnessed the addition of more than 5 million sq ft of organized retail mall space across various primary and secondary locations. This was concentrated largely in NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai and was a consequence of the positive sentiments amongst retailers on spatial expansion and enhancing their footprints across the country.

 

While 2009 can be termed as a ‘lost year’ for value retailing; consumer confidence enhanced spending levels in 2010. This encouraged sales in large format hypermarket chains, which became the prime anchor tenant for mall developers looking forward to reduced vacancy pressures in their properties.

 

Retailer expansion also led to pre-commitments in under construction properties in prime locations. With their mall developments in advanced stages of construction, developers had to ward off vacancy pressures by providing flexible revenue sharing terms with retailers. This approach helped in easing vacancy pressures in various malls, thereby providing floor earnings to developers. In all the seven cities presented in this review, the retail real estate market appears to be promising with an appreciable increase in enquiries being witnessed from retailers.

 

Moving ahead, transaction activity and size are expected to increase on the back of increase in consumer spending and expanding mid income purchasing power. However, despite this incremental demand, retail mall supply pipeline is huge, especially in leading cities such as NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Chennai.

 

This would ensure that pressures remain on developers to offer rental discounts and transaction flexibility to avoid higher vacancy levels in a longer term. While the prime destinations will continue to be high in demand and also witness an upward rental movement on account of developer expectations, it would largely be the secondary locations in these cities which will bear the brunt of large supply influx in the next two years.

 

Despite all the transaction activity and surging consumer expenditure, a major legislation that can propel India’s nascent organised retail industry into the big league would be the legislation permitting 100% FDI in organised multi-brand retail. This would allow big organised retail chains to set up presence in India’s booming mid income towns and cities. Indian economy faces serious supply-side constraints, particularly in the food-related retail chains. The argument against opening of the retail sector has been that once foreign retailers open up their stores in India, it would amount to unfair competition to small domestic players.

 

However, the sector should be allowed to grow and consolidate by opening it to foreign investors. Indian government is likely to allow FDI in multi-brand retailing in the near term, albeit in a slow and guarded manner to ensure domestic retailers do not face stiff competition. The initiative is a positive step towards bringing the much needed capital to the industry and might witness significant growth of organised retailing in the country.

 

 

COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND LEASING

 

With India’s economic recovery well under way, its commercial real estate market is beginning to stabilize. While the landscape will remain favorable for tenants in 2010, landlords will have greater influence starting in 2011.

 

The spell cast by the global meltdown in 2008-09 is finally wearing off, as both office and retail space are back in demand. As the global business environment becomes competitive, new generations of companies are being forced to consider off shoring for the first time. Sustained demand upswing from occupiers have led to perceptible strengthening in absorption of commercial office space across Indian cities.

 

The demand, which was initially led by the sunshine sectors like telecom and pharmaceutical industries in 2009, has now been strengthened further by improving conditions in BFSI (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance) and IT/ITES sectors. However, most of the development in 2010 is expected to happen in Tier-I cities of NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai, thanks to a new generation of companies that are considering off shoring for the first time in these destinations. IT has been the main contributor of commercial space absorption in south India, followed by the telecom and banking and financial institutions.

 

According to global real-estate consultant, Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj (JLLM) about 60.9 million square feet (sq ft) of office space is expected to become operational in seven Indian cities - including NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad, during 2010. The Tier-I cities of NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai are expected to contribute around 74% to this supply. The vacancy in Grade A office space (aggregated for seven Indian cities - NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad) stood at 18.1% in March 2010 which is much lower than those that existed last year.

 

With the forecasted growth of net completions expected to outpace that of net absorption, a significant supply overhang is expected to remain over the next one year. This will lead vacancy level across India, which was at 17.2% at end-2009 to rise to mid 20% by end-2010. Location advantage and tenant mix will serve as key differentiators as landlords struggle to lease unoccupied space. The decline in rental values has stopped or slowed significantly in all Indian metros with the exception of NCR-Delhi and Mumbai. While these two cities are currently feeling the effects of a large supply pipeline in the short term, they are also expected to the rebound in the property cycle, followed by Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata.
