Outlook for Cement Industry:

 

Outlook for the cement industry continues to be moderate in 2010. Growth in the housing sector and infrastructure projects is likely to provide support to the prices and hedge against any demand slowdown in the near future. The Brown Field cement capacity expansion of 1.5 million tons at Kurnool unit completed in 2008, go stabilized during the second quarter of 2009 and resulted in improved capacity utilization during the current year. With the initiatives taken by the Government of India for infrastructure development, cement demand is expected to rise further in 2010. The irrigation and housing projects being under taken by the Government of Andhra Pradesh will further increase the demand in the state, where the Company sells a major portion of its produce.

 

However, with the new Cement Greenfield and Brownfield expansions commencing operations, Cement supply is

expected to be far higher than the demand resulting in lower capacity utilizations and reduced sales realizations.

 

In these conditions, the management continues to concentrate on cost reduction in power, other inputs and freight, such as increased use of domestic coal and optimizing the freight cost by setting up Fly Ash Handling and Cement Packing Unit at Bellary, accelerated repayments of debt in order to reduce the interest cost and optimizing the working capital.

 

PACKING PLANT

 

The Karnataka Power Corporation Limited (KPCL) has granted permission to collect Dry Fly Ash from its Thermal

Power Station, located at Kuditini Village, Bellary Dist., Karnataka for a period of 10 years.

 

In order to optimize the freight cost, the Company is setting-up a Packing Unit at the said location with a capacity of packing 6 lakh tonnes of Cement per annum with a capital expenditure of Rs.100.000 Millions.

OUTLOOK FOR CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE (CPC)

 

INDUSTRY

 

Aluminum industry, the largest consumer industry of CPC, was growing at about 5% per annum globally in the past ten years. However, in the year 2009 due to global economic downturn that coupled with unprecedented decline in the Aluminum metal prices resulted in substantial reduction of global aluminum production. The demand for CPC was also reduced in the similar percentage. In these circumstances management took a holistic response by initiating various actions including curtailment of CPC production, overhead rationalization and working capital improvement.

 

The world demand, particularly in automotive and commercial transportation, for aluminum is likely to grow from 2010. The demand for global primary aluminum is expected to grow at about 10% in 2010 and is expected to get doubled in next fifteen years. Accordingly, the outlook for CPC industry would be moderate in the year 2010 and become strong from the year 2011 onwards. The performance of the Group, being the world's largest calciner with operations in both US and Asia, in CPC Industry would be stable in the medium term with improved availability of raw-materials and the long term relationship with both the Aluminum Smelters and the Petroleum Refineries

 

JOINT VENTURE

 

Pursuant to the approval of Board of Directors at their meeting held on April 23, 2009, the Company has sold 17,250,000 shares (including 75,000 shares held by Rain Commodities (USA) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary) held in Petroleum Coke Industries Company, Kuwait (Joint Venture) to AL-Mal Investment Company, Kuwait for a

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

A. CEMENT

 

CEMENT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Indian Cement industry - comprising of 148 large cement plants and more than 360 mini cement plants, is the world's second largest cement producer. The industry's capacity at the beginning of the year 2009-10 was 219 million tonnes. The demand for cement, being a derived demand, depends primarily on the industrial activity, real estate business, construction activity and investment in the infrastructure sector. Indian cement industry is globally competitive because the industry has witnessed healthy trends such as continuous technology upgradation and cost controlling. An additional capacity of around 100 million tonnes is likely to be on stream by March 2012, resulting in supply exceeding the demand. Cement capacity utilization is expected to improve sharply after Financial Year 2012 with the expected strong demand coupled with limited capacity additions after 2012.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

Opportunities

 

Despite apprehensions about the impact of inflation and slowdown in Industrial production and overall economic scenario, the demand prospect for the cement sector remains positive with the growth in Infrastructure, Housing, Roads, Ports, Power, Urban Housing and Irrigation Projects Cement demand is likely to remain robust in the near

term, driven by the Housing and Infrastructure sectors which will correspondingly be aided by higher disposable income, rising population, changing demographics and reduction in average size of household.

 

 

Threats

 

With the commissioning of about 100 million tones of new cement capacities during 2010-12, the Indian cement capacity utilizations are expected to moderate from the high levels of FY 2008.

 

Furthermore, with the sharp slowdown in real estate and the capital-starved infrastructure sector, coupled with a broad economic downturn may see the industry face considerable pressure on profitability. Earlier, the cement sector had seen a rise in prices driven by strong demand coupled with optimum capacity utilizations, but management feel the robust demand growth alone is not enough to arrest the decline in the average cement realizations and margin erosions, when capacity build is far in excess of demand growth.

 

OUTLOOK OF CEMENT INDUSTRY

 

Outlook for the cement industry continues to be moderate in 2010. Growth in the housing sector and infrastructure projects is likely to provide support to the prices and hedge against any demand slowdown in the near future. The Brown Field cement capacity expansion of 1.5 million tons at Kurnool unit completed in 2008, got stabilized during the second quarter of 2009 resulted in improved capacity utilization during the current year. With the initiatives taken by the Government of India for infrastructure development, cement demand is expected to rise further in 2010. The irrigation and housing projects being under taken by the Government of Andhra Pradesh will further increase the demand in the state, where the Company sells a major portion of its produce.

 

However, with the new cement Greenfield and Brownfield expansions commencing operations, cement supply is expected to be far higher than the demand resulting in lower capacity utilizations and reduced sales realizations.

 

In these conditions, the management continues to concentrate on cost reduction in power, other inputs and freight, such as increased use of domestic coal and optimizing the freight cost by setting up Fly Ash collection and Cement Packing Unit at Bellary, accelerated repayments of debt in order to reduce the interest cost and optimizing the working capital.

 

B) CALCINED PETROLEUM COKE (CPC) CPC INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) is an essential component of carbon anode for the Aluminum industry and is also used as a source of carbon for the Titanium Dioxide and Steel industries. The world CPC capacity at the beginning of the year 2009 is estimated to be about 22.5 million tonnes, US and China accounts for approximately 56% of the total capacity. With the consolidation of CPC industry happened in 2007, viz. acquisition of CII Carbon

L.L.C by Rain Group and Great Lakes Carbon by Oxbow Carbon, now two large calciners Rain and Oxbow controls a market share of more than 20% of global CPC industry.

 

The demand for CPC is primarily depend on the growth in demand for Aluminum, as more than 85% of global CPC production is consumed by Aluminum industry. The global primary Aluminum production capacity as at January 1, 2010 is about 49.2 million tonnes (Indian Aluminum capacity of 1.5 million tons). The increase in demand for Aluminum will have a proportionate increase in demand for CPC.

 

Demand for CPC is expected to be strong in near term with the expected ramp-ups in Aluminum capacities in Middle East and Asia (especially in India) through Greenfield and Brownfield expansions. Demand for primary aluminium is expected to improve in 2010. The market surplus in the world outside China experienced in 2009 is expected to continue in 2010 but at a somewhat lower level depending on developments in demand and the strength of economic developments in general. China is expected to produce a slight surplus of metal in 2010.

 

In China, demand for primary Aluminum grew strongly throughout 2009 led by various stimulus policies implemented by Chinese government.

 

Correspondingly, production increased and most of the previous curtailed capacity has been restarted. With additional new capacity coming on stream, production in China reached an all time high of around 16.5 million tonnes in the fourth quarter on an annual basis. China imported 1.4 million tones of primary aluminium in 2009.

Financial Highlights:

 

·         Consolidated Net Income of Rs. 4,438 Millions in CY 2009, as compared to Consolidated Net Income of Rs. 4,038 Millions in CY 2008, an increase of 10%.

·         Consolidated Net Revenues of Rs. 36,338 Millions in CY 2009, as compared to Consolidated Revenues of Rs. 44,547 Millions in CY 2008, a decline of 18%.

·         Consolidated Earnings per Share of Rs. 62.66 for CY 2009, as compared to consolidated EPS of Rs. 57.35 for CY 2008, an increase of 9%.

·         Substantial reduction in Gross debt of Rs. 30,312 Millions as on December 31, 2009, as compared to Gross debt of Rs. 37,692 Millions as on Dec. 31, 2008. Further net debt declined during the same period from Rs. 35,333 Millions to Rs. 26,964 Millions, due to strong operational cash flows.

 

The financial results demonstrates strong leadership of the Company in CPC business and operational synergies achieved through integration of CII Carbon, acquired in July 2007, with Indian Operations. In spite of 22% decline in sales volumes in CPC Business during CY09, a result of fall in global production of aluminium, the Company is able to report higher net income during CY09 than that reported in CY08, through stabilization of Brownfield expansion of cement capacity in Kurnool, exceptional profit from sale of investments in Kuwait Joint Venture and reduction in interest costs due to lower LIBOR and repayment of debt.
