HISTORY:

 

Subject is a wing of the Kalyani group of companies. The Company was incorporated in June 1961 and promoted by Neelkanth A Kalyani. Subject's principal activities are to manufacture and sell closed and open die forgings, machined components and aggregates. The Company operates in two segments namely Steel Forging and General Engineering. The products of the Company include front axle assembly and components, general engineering equipment, hydraulic and mechanical presses, bandsaw machines for cutting metallic rounds, couplings and material handling equipment. The subject caters to the medium and heavy commercial vehicle segments. The manufacturing plants are located at Pune, Satara and Jalgaon districts of Maharashtra. The Company's operations are carried out through its German subsidiary, Carl Dan Peddinghus GmbH. During the year 1982, the Balchandra Investment Private Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In 1983, an agreement was concluded with Tokyo, Drop Forging Company Limited of Japan for technology upgradation, cost optimisation and quality improvements in the Company's forging unit and an agreement was made with Maharashtra Electronics Corporation Limited (MELTRON) to establish a joint venture to manufacture colour T.V. sets. Forge Investment Limited and Mundhwa Investment Limited became the subsidiaries of Balchandra investment during January of the year 1984. To obtain technology and know-how for the manufacture of couplings, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Torsiflex Limited, U.K in the year 1985.

 

During the year 1986, the registration was obtained for the manufacture of assemblies, components, spares, and accessories for metallurgical machinery, size reduction and crushing equipment, conveying equipment and size separation units with a total capacity of 1,200 tonnes per annum at Vaduth, Satara. In 1989, a joint venture under the name of Kalyani Sharp India Limited (KSIL) was set up for the manufacture of Televisions and VCRs. The Financial Services Division originated for investment in various fund-based areas in 1992, during the year, it diversified its portfolio into real estate development. In the year 1994, Starflower Investment and Finance Limited and Chakrapushpa Investment and Finance Limited were ceased to be subsidiaries of the Company.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

 

In the aftermath of the 'sub-prime' led global financial crisis in 2008, economies across the world went into a tailspin. Chart A shows how developed economies like the US, UK and the European Union witnessed contraction

in GDP from Q3, 2008. With such sharp de-growth, global demand for industrial and engineering products crashed. This trend continued through most of 2009.

 

Towards the end of 2009 and Q1, 2010, there were some positive signs. Global financial markets witnessed a degree of stabilisation. With two successive quarters of positive growth from Q4, 2009, the US seems to have come out of recession. Not so the Euro zone and the UK, which continue to witness very low or negative growth. Moreover, the Greek debt crisis has created severe uncertainties in Western Europe, and has put the euro under significant strain.

 

The contrast betv/een the developed economies and the emerging Asian giants such as China and India could not be greater. Chart B shows that after three quarters of reduced growth, China's economy grew steadily from Q2, 2009, to record a GDP growth of 8.7% for 2009. It did even better in Q1, 2010 by recording 11.9% GDP growth. India, too, recovered from a slight slump and has grown by 7.4% for 2009-10. It would seem that these economies are on their way to attaining their higher growth trajectories of the pre 'Lehman collapse' days.

 

 

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

As a global major in the forging industry that caters to markets across the world through its production facilities in Europe, Asia and America, the business of Bharat Forge ('BFL' or 'the Company') was significantly affected by the adverse global economic developments. The Company's financial performance for 2009-10, therefore, reflects the sharp demand downturn. Given below are the performance highlights of the Company as a consolidated entity during 2009-10 (or FY2010).

 

 

Key Consolidated Highlights FY 2010

 

·         Sales decreased by 30% from Rs.47.75 bn in FY2009 to Rs.33.28 bn in FY2010

·         Total income decreased by 30% from Rs.48.43 bn in FY2009 to Rs.33.79 bn in FY2010

·         Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) were Rs.3.9 bn in FY2010. The EBITDA margin was 11.5%

·         Profit before taxes (PBT) before exceptional items was Rs.141.9 million

·         Strong fundamental performance in the standalone business

·         Restructuring of overseas operations completed, resulting in a one-time net cost of Rs.742 million

·         FCCB of US$131.5 million repaid

·         Successful fund raising via QIP of US$ 140 million including warrants

 

Over the last decade, Company had adopted a growth strategy, which was primarily derisked in terms of geography and sectors. The crux of this strategy was that, under most circumstances, market downturns in some geographical and sectoral areas would be surmounted by upswings in others. Despite having this de-risked business model in place, the Company's business performance was adversely affected in FY2010 due to the unprecedented downturn across all global markets after the financial crisis that began in September 2008.

 

While performance was affected in FY2010, Company confronted these adversities by re-calibrating its business strategy and reorganizing internally to best overcome the current situation and further enhance the Company's potential to reap benefits from the next round of global growth.

 

On the marketing front, Company continued to increase its efforts to increase its market size, scope and penetration by:

 

·         Focusing on new customers, new markets in terms of geographies and new product applications with thrust on non-auto sectors.

·         Increasing market share of existing businesses.

 

In operations, the Company embarked on rapidly restructuring its internal processes and systems by laying emphasis on:

 

·         Cost reduction and rightsizing of all operations to reduce breakeven levels for plants, so that they are calibrated to generate profits, even when operating at lower levels of capacity utilisation.

·         Generating more cash from the system and streamlining working capital.

 

On the market front, there was a concerted effort at entering newer geographies. Company was successful in winning new orders from customers in Japan, Brazil and Russia for automotive and non-automotive applications. Within India, the Company has made progress in enhancing its presence in the non-automotive field by developing critical products for key growth sectors — thus providing an indigenous supply source for products that were previously imported.

 

Regarding operations, there have been focused efforts on cost reductions and lean initiatives. The cost reduction efforts included rationalisation of production equipments to optimise their utilisation, which helped reduce costs such as fuel, and electricity consumption. Efforts were also undertaken towards rationalization of.manpower and process improvements. In addition, a separate team was created to promote lean management practices in the Company. The team focuses on streamlining the movement of material and utilisation of resources at the plant. This has helped the Company to manage inventory better and increase overall productivity.

 

These initiatives have borne fruit. There has been a steady improvement in the performance of the Indian business, as reflected in the stand-alone financials of the Company.

 

 

STANDALONE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE: 2009-10

 

Company’s standalone business has a strong focus on the commercial vehicles (CV) sector for the Indian market as well as the US and Europe through exports. Globally, the CV sector went into a tail-spin from October 2008, and witnessed a volume decline of more than 50% within a short span of time.

 

The Indian automotive market recovered swiftly from the lows of October-December 2008 on the back of pick up

in economic activity across the board, benign interest rates and sops provided by the Indian government. The industry registered sequential quarterly growth across all segments and recorded yearon-year growth of 29%. Company’s quarterly performance in FY2010 mirrored the recovery in the Indian automotive markets. The charts below depict a steady quarter-on-quarter improvement in all key parameters for the standalone operations.

 

 

OVERSEAS SUBSIDIARIES:

 

Company has a large part of its overseas operations based in Europe and given the poor demand conditions; the focus during the year was on restructuring operations and lowering the break-even levels.

 

Comprehensive cost reduction measures were undertaken across the European and American operations, which included significant reduction in manpower. In fact, manpower at the European operations have been reduced, which has cost the Company approximately Rs.742 million in redundancy payouts. With this onetime exercise, these facilities are now tuned to break-even at much lower capacity utilisation levels and are well positioned to leverage opportunities when markets revive.

 

Company rationalised its international facilities by successfully closing down its operations in Scotland, which was operating at sub optimal utilization levels. The equipments have been transferred to the facilities in Sweden.

 

On the marketing front, notable achievements included the addition of new customers in China outside the FAW group (BFL's joint venture partner) and new product development for passenger vehicles in Germany.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

FY2010 was a very challenging year. In light of the slowdown, there has been a focus on operations restructuring and optimal utilisation of machinery in India and at the subsidiaries. Subject as a company is structurally better equipped to tackle the downturn even if it were to continue for a prolonged period.

 

The Company realises that there will be some time before overseas companies see a revival. It, however, believes in the infrastructure led-growth of India; and it is well positioned to leverage opportunities in the Indian market, so that India operations drive growth in the near term. The ramp up of non-automotive facilities is well on the way. The capital goods business is fairly insulated from market vagaries and the commercial vehicles segment in India, too, seems to be out of its demand slump.

 

Globally, many companies could be in financial distress. This may open up further opportunities for strong industry leaders like company to increase its market share with established relationships with OEMs. When the revival comes, strong companies like company, which have technology, scale, global reach, capability and cost structure, will have opportunities to consolidate its global leadership position.

 

With a strong India presence and lean overseas subsidiaries, company is cautiously optimistic about its prospects in FY2011.

 

 

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY:

 

During the year, Exports turnover of the Company was Rs.7109 million, decrease of 29% over previous year (Rs.10 024 million).

 

Over the review period, major global economies continued to face challenges on various fronts and federal governments introduced measures to revive economic activity across sectors. The Company with significant exposure to the overseas automobile markets through exports and overseas operations was adversely impacted. Capacities of the overseas operations were severely underutilized during the year resulting in poor performance on many parameters. The Indian automotive industry recovered swiftly and posted quarter on quarter improvements during the year. This helped the company in posting reasonable results despite the weakness in export markets.

 

The Company has been able to successfully develop and validate many new programs. During the year, new business awards have been achieved on both the auto as well as the non-auto business fronts.

 

 

SUBSIDIARIES:

 

The Company has 14 subsidiaries of which 12 are overseas and 2 are in India. A summary of their performance is given elsewhere in the Annual Report.

 

In view of the unprecedented downturn in the automotive sectors across the globe, during year 2009-10, the Company has carried the process of restructuring and rightsizing the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries to adopt for lower market volumes. The Company has incurred substantial cost for such rightsizing exercise which has affected the performance of the Company on consolidated basis. The primary objective behind such restructuring and rightsizing is to achieve a lower 'breakeven threshold' and thus achieve profitability in Company's Subsidiaries at lower capacity utilizations.

 

As a part of such restructuring programme, operations and assets of Bharat Forge Scottish Stampings Limited (BFSSL), subsidiary of the Company active in the European markets, are being transferred to other group companies in Bharat Forge Group. Hence, the accounts of BFSSL have been prepared not under going concern.

 

The auditors of Bharat Forge America Inc. (BFA), subsidiary of the Company, active in the North American markets, have, without qualifying their reports, expressed a possibility about BFA's inability to continue as going concern due to market conditions in North America. BFA has implemented various measures to adapt itself to lower volumes, which include a significant headcount reduction, a very tight control on costs, development of new products and an efficient working capital management. It is expected that these steps, along with the support provided by the Company would enable BFA to survive the present downturn. Hence, the accounts of BFA have been prepared on the 'going concern' basis.

 

A significant portion of the consolidated revenues are generated by the subsidiary companies. Detailed analysis of the working of the subsidiary companies appears in the Management Discussion and Analysis.

The Company has entered into Preliminary Joint Venture and Shareholders’ Agreement with AREVA NP, France, to create a manufacturing facility for heavy forgings and castings for the power sector particularly Nuclear Power segment and other heavy industries in India. AREVA is a Worldwide leader in the nuclear power activities, including the design, manufacture and supply of nuclear power plants, components and fuel to customers all over the World.

 

Manufacture of non-automotive forgings, including for power sector applications, is a major growth area for the Company. In order to meet the strong energy needs in India and given the exciting opportunities emerging in the country’s nuclear power sector, Bharat Forge and AREVA are partnering in the JV. Availability of heavy forgings is a major constraint for global manufacturers of equipment in the energy sector. The JV would secure supply of heavy forgings, especially stainless steel forgings to the customers. Heavy forgings manufactured by the JV would primarily meet indigenous requirements of power generation sector, including manufacture of turbines, generator rotors, steel plant rolls etc. and also of new nuclear power plants in the country.

 

Bharat Forge and AREVA are presently evaluating various locations in India to set up the new facility. The JV will have a state-of-the-art 12000 Ton open die forging press with associated equipment and an integrated steel making facility.
