REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

A. GENERAL:

The year under review started with legacy of previous year which witnessed one of the worst economic crises in the world history affecting every economy and business Irrespective of its location, size, technology or nature of the products. The company's business was also affected because of these global events and as a result, performance during the year has been impacted to some extent. Global markets have remained subdued affecting the overseas demand and as a consequence, exports were low. On domestic front, however, the situation has been better. The management has taken up initiatives to consolidate the Company's presence In both, international as well as domestic markets, enhance the product range and customer base, strengthen the organizational structure and systems to minimise the impact of the slow down and prepare itself for the future,

 

B. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

During the year under report, the Company has posted gross income at Rs. 8998.816 millions. Not withstanding the challenges posed by recessionary conditions in the user industries, it has been possible to control some of the costs and safeguard the margins. As a result of these efforts, the profit before tax stood at Rs 1303.746 millions, higher by 18.55 % as compared to the previous year. The Company has posted profit after tax of Rs. 814.271 millions which is higher by 14.35 %.

 

C. OPERATIONS:

Barring some of the products, where optimum utilization of capacities could not be achieved due to market conditions, inspite of the recessionary conditions, it has been possible to utilise the capacities to the optimum levels possible. Looking to a very positive investment scenario in Power sector, the Company has undertaken projects for increasing the capacity in SS Welded HP Heater Tubes and manufacture of Titanium Welded Tubes. These are expected to be operational during the third quarter of FY 201 0-1 1.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO:

GENERAL

The year 2009-10 was one of the toughest years for the Petrochemical industry, one of the major consumers of company's products. The economic downturn reduced investment demand across majority of the industries the Company caters to. Fortunately, a very wide range of product basket catering to almost all types of industrial applications helped your company to withstand the low demand scenario. Moreover, there was a relief that Indian economy and Business was relatively less affected from the recessionary demand slump. The business environment has been improving since third quarter of FY 2009-10, but at much lower rate than expected. The global recessionary effects are still being felt as evidenced by the very slow pick up of export demand over the period.

 

During 2010-11, Indian economy is expected to grow at approx.8%. The investments in infrastructure projects would continue and provide opportunities to Indian Piping Industry. Particularly investments in Oil and Gas transportation, Irrigation and water supply pipelines, Power plants and likely opening up of the Atomic Power sector should generate demand for the company's products. International demand would depend upon how fast economies return back to normalcy and new project8 In oil exploration and production are taken up.

 

During the year under review, reconsolidation of domestic demand has been faster than the export demand. Raw material prices have been volatile; these were on the lower side at the beginning of the year and have been on the higher side later on. The Company's business is dependent upon the demand from the Oil and Gas industry, mainly refineries and petrochemicals and Power sector to a great extent. Though the investment scenario within the country in these industries has been good, internationally, it was not so. The lower global demand scenario has resulted into pricing and margin pressures. These negative factors impacted the performance of the Company during 2009-10.

 

INDIAN PIPE INDUSTRY

India has become the global pipe-manufacturing hub especially for SAW pipes. This has been primarily due to lower cost of manufacture, high quality and geographical advantages. Additionally, Indian companies have acquired global accreditations and certifications, which make them preferred suppliers to most of the world's leading oil and gas companies in the Middle East, North America and Europe. According to one study, Indian Pipe Industry is today Rs 150000 millions size industry and is likely to grow by 20-25 per cent in the next 3-4 years considering massive investment laid out on energy sector by the governments of developing economies. Developed economies require a change in existing pipelines that were installed several decades ago and demand is likely to emerge from various sectors of global economies.

 

 

MARKETING SCENARIO,

STAINLESS STEEL DIVISION

The majority of revenue generated by Stainless Steel Division is from the business generated in sectors such as Oil and Gas, Petrochemicals and Refineries, Power sector, Desalination plants, Chemicals, Fertilizer, Pharmaceutical, and Sugar industries.

 

Oil and Gas I Petrochemical and Refineries Sector

Due to the sudden drop in the prices of crude and the financial crisis engulfing the developed nations, focus on investment in Oil and Gas is gradually shifting to developing nations such as India, China, Far East, Russia, and African nations. During the current financial year, the Company has put more thrust on the requirements of Oil and Gas sector, particularly in Refining sector Industry. The Company has been trying to consolidate its position in supplying the material far the sophisticated applications requiring special grade of material like Ferritic, Martensitic and Duplex grades.

 

Globally speaking, no major investments are anticipated in the Middle East countries. However, it seems there would be substantial activity in African and Latin American countries. Investment in Far East, particularly Malaysia, Singapore etc., seems to be on the upward trend and the Company will be making a detailed effort to increase its share in this region. South Korea is one market, where your company sees a lot of potential as most of the projects in the Middle East are taken by EPCs from this region.

 

Power Sector

This sector remains very buoyant not only in India, but in various other part of the developed nations. With a very detailed experience of manufacturing tubes upto 1320 MW, your company is one of the prime sources for the supply of LP / HP Heater tubes and Condenser tubes not only in the domestic market but also to various projects worldwide.

 

Desalination Plants

The Company sees a good potential from this segment. This is a growing segment both internationally and domestically. The Company has already initiated steps to exploit this sector and is hopeful of good demand from this segment .

 

Fertilizer

A lot of improvement seems to be there in Fertilizer sector with the support of Government. Definite investments in new or enhancing capacities of fertilizer plants are on the cards. Stainless Steel is being substantially used in the Fertilizer plants and hence should be having a better demand in this sector. The company Is looking for developing special grades in this sector also. Even though the quantity of these grades are very low, this will give an exposure to the world scenario and establish the Company as one of the major players in this grades i.e. Urea grade. Stainless Steel Piping in Seamless and Welded will be of a major thtust in fertilizer plants and the company foresees a good business prospects in this segment.

 

Nuclear Power Plants

One area, where there is a huge potential for supply of various type of tubes and pipes is Nuclear Power sector. The Company is trying to establish its strong presence in this segment. The business from this sector is promising and has a long-term potential. This is a developing market in terms of new applications having opportunities and having challenges too. Your company is confident of converting these opportunities into a profitable revenue stream.

 

CARBON STEEL AND COATING

The year 2009-10 witnessed very low demand from the Line pipe sector which Is a major market for the CS SAW pipes. The global economic crisis affecting Middle East, Europe and North America had resulted into the low international demand. Many of the line pipe projects were either put on hold, or slowed down in terms of the implementation pace resulting into drop in the enquiries. During last quarter of the financial year (January-March 2010) inquiries from such projects started flowing in , which should reflect in working of the FY 201 0-201 1. 

 

During the year 2009-1 0 raw material prices remained volatile varying between US $ 500- US$ 700 per MT. This is expected to continue during the coming year 201 0-11 also.

 

There would be marginal improvement in the performance during second half of the year with servicing of the current orders/enquiries. but for this, the year 2010-11 as a whole would still remain subdued, as it would take some more time for the demand to pick up.

 

Current uncertain scenario of the European and American economies would also impact the demand revival.

 

Future Outlook and Opportunities:

The Company is one of the leading players in the Indian Piping Industry today. It has established reputation as the preferred supplier to almost all players in Oil and Gas, Power, Pharmaceutical and Fertilizer industry, which are your company's prime markets. It is preferred for its quality and capability to supply a full range of piping products of both Carbon Steel as well as Stainless Steel. The Company has emerged as a single stop source of pipes and tubes for an array of industrial applications.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

Ratnamani Metals and Tubes attractive bet for investors

 

21 Jul 2008, 0419 hrs IST, Santanu Mishra, ET Bureau

Crude oil prices have more than quadrupled in the past five years, and this has increased exploration and production (E and P) activities around the world. These activities have generated huge requirements for carbon steel pipes and stainless steel tubes.


Many domestic pipe makers are set to benefit from this trend. Ratnamani Metals and Tubes is one such player which manufactures pipes and an array of stainless steel tubes, used in industrial applications. The company’s strong financials, growth plans and diversification strategy make it a good investment bet at the current price level.

BUSINESS: 0
Ratnamani’s business can be categorised mainly into two segments — stainless steel tubes for industrial applications and carbon steel pipes. Stainless steel tubes are used by a number of industries like refineries, fertiliser, pharmaceutical and power plants (both thermal and nuclear ), among others.


These are very critical applications and hence, require high quality levels. Ratnamani is a market leader in this segment, with a market share of close to 40%. The second line of business constitutes electric resistance welded (ERW) and submerged arc welded (SAW) pipes, which are used for oil and gas transportation.


Most of the company’s carbon steel capacities are currently fully utilised. The company’s strategy is to maintain a balance between the two lines of businesses, with each contributing around 50% towards its topline.


FINANCIALS:
Ratnamani has strong financials compared to its peers in the pipe industry. The company’s net sales have jumped 10-fold in the past five years, while its net profit has surged by more than 40 times over the same period. In fact, the company has never posted a loss in the past 14 years.


It ranks among the best within the pipe industry as far as the return on capital employed (RoCE), return on net worth (RoNW) and operating margins are concerned (refer to the adjacent table).


Ratnamani’s lower debt-to-equity ratio (close to 1) and higher interest coverage ratio (more than 8) enable it to leverage its balance sheet for future expansion plans. The company’s operating margin for FY08 shrunk by around 200 bps on account of Rs 270 millions mark-to-market notional forex hedging losses, which are not core to its operation. The management doesn’t expect any such losses for the current financial year.

 

GROWTH POTENTIAL:

The company plans to expand its capacity in modular phases. It plans to increase its horizontal SAW (HSAW) capacity by one lakh tonnes to two lakh tonnes by the end of the current financial year. Out of this, 150,000 tonnes of capacity will be commissioned by September this year, while the rest will come up by the end of FY09.


The company is also setting up a three-layer pipe coating line to provide a one-stop solution (coated pipe) to its customers. On the stainless steel tubes front, it plans to add 3,000 tonnes of capacity in the high-speed welded tubes segment, which will be commissioned by September ’08. These expansion plans will require a capex of Rs 900-1000 millions in the current financial year.


This will be funded through debt of Rs 200-300 millions, and the rest will come from internal accruals. The company has a current order book of close to 80% of its FY08 net sales. It will increase its order book, as and when its new capacities come up.

 

VALUATIONS:
Ratnamani has diversified its business risk by making products which are used in a wide range of industries. The company’s P/E and EV/EBITDA multiples are on the lower side compared to its peers. The effect of its expansion plans will be partly and fully visible in FY09 and FY10, respectively.


The company’s estimated EPS for FY09 and FY10 works out to Rs 128 and Rs 174, respectively. At the current price level of Rs 675, this translates into forward P/Es of 5.3 and 3.9, respectively. This provides a good upside potential for investors with a horizon of 2-3 years.
