FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company’s performance is satisfactory, as overall figures represent a good growth potential, going ahead. Although the figures of the Financial year 2009-10 are more or less similar to the figures of the financial year 2008-09, what is inspiring is the results for the last quarter of the financial year 2009-10. The Company’s profit before tax for the last quarter is Rs.130.000 Millions, compared to an aggregate of Rs.200.000 Millions for the rest three quarters. These surely are good signs, as the Indian economy is positioned for take-off following sluggish growth.

 

The Company’s sales have also increased in all its equipment categories. It intends to continue its journey towards sustainable growth, which commenced in 1995.

 

The Company’s gross sales stood at Rs.4378.300 Millions marginally lower from Rs.4478.300 Millions previous year. The net sales for the year ended March 31, 2010 was Rs.4271.200 Millions, demonstrating a marginal drop from Rs.4285.000 Millions for the year ended 31, 2009, on account of the impact of the slowdown during the first half of the fiscal. The profit before depreciation and tax stood at Rs.380.200 Millions in 2009-10, as against Rs.359.000 Millions in 2008-09. The profit after tax was Rs.244.400 Millions in 2009-10, as against Rs.227.300 Millions in 2008-09.

 

RETURN ON NET WORTH

 

On the overall valuations of the Company, the Company’s Net Worth is Rs.1708.352 Millions as on 31st March, 2010, generating a Return on Net worth (RONW) 14.31% and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of 12.25%, both of which indicate good business returns.

 

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

The Company has incorporated a wholly owned overseas subsidiary (WOS) Company at Cyprus viz M/s Frested Limited, and through it, the Company has acquired 89.5% equity stake in a Romanian Company viz. SC Forma SA, Romania, which has become fellow subsidiary of the Company. Also, the Company has formed one more subsidiary Company viz. Action Developers Limited.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Indian Economy

 

India’s growth rate has been far better than that of other emerging economies, primarily due to higher reliance on domestic demand for growth. Emerging markets (BRIC economies) represent the new global growth engines, and are becoming attractive investor destinations. The growth rate in the manufacturing sector in December, 2009 was 18.5% – the highest in the past two decades. Growth expectations were re-pegged at around 8.25-8.75% for the next fiscal.

 

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

GLOBAL EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY

 

The US is the world’s largest equipment market followed by China and Europe. The global equipment industry witnessed an upswing since 2003-04, and grew by over 15% annually until the third quarter of 2008-09. The growth was more pronounced and was primarily driven by the fast growing BRIC nations. The size of the equipment market in emerging economies has also expanded significantly, accounting for 50% of the global market, as against 35% in 2004. The Indian market grew by over 30% annually during this period.

 

The key growth drivers comprised strong economic development, public and private investments in infrastructure, large government projects like road building, high commodity prices (supporting mining activity), the booming real estate industry and growing levels of mechanization.

 

 

INDIAN EQUIPMENT INDUSTRY

 

The Indian equipment industry was severely hit by the economic slowdown, weak sentiments across user industries and tight liquidity conditions in 2008-09. Equipment volumes started picking up in November 2009 and maintained a healthy growth over the past four months. The IIP index April-February 2010 posted a growth of 10.1% as against 3% in the corresponding period of the previous year. The government’s infrastructure spending towards schemes like Pradhan Mantri Gramin Yojna and preparation for the 2010 Commonwealth Games has been a strong demand driver, especially for the northern part of the country. The long-term prospects for the segment remain healthy, with strong demand expected from the power, ports, roads, urban infrastructure, housing and industrial segment.

 

The equipment industry can be divided into two large segments- mining and construction equipment. Construction equipment also includes material handling equipment.

 

The industry comprises a wide product array comprising mobile cranes, tower cranes, backhoe, wheeled loaders, hydraulic excavators, slew cranes, crawler cranes, lorry cranes, vibratory compactors, asphalt finishers, motor graders, skid steer loaders and forklifts in the construction/material handling industry and dumpers, dozers, drills, dragging walk lines and rope shovels, among others in the mining segment. In India, construction equipment (including material handling) are used for the infrastructure, construction, power projects, ports, shipyards, dams, metro rail, roads, mining, steel industries, engineering industry, railways, cement, petroleum, defence, chemicals and fertilisers, warehousing, logistics and building construction, among others.

 

The backhoe loader is the largest segment in unit terms, accounting for over 40% of industry volumes followed by hydraulic excavators (around 20%) and mobile cranes (around 16-17%). The industry’s revenue share is, however, skewed by the relative cost and tonnage of equipment sold within each category.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The long-term demand drivers for the construction equipment industry comprise relatively low levels of mechanisation and penetration of equipment in the construction industry. Besides, the proposed heavy investment in infrastructure and increasing population and urbanisation are expected to catalyse the industry.

 

The demand for mining equipment is expected to grow in line with the demand for metals and energy.

 

Low-cost structure countries like India stand to gain from the potential for export of components, equipment and engineering/ designing services – an area where China has already made significant inroads. Some of the areas that need to be addressed during this growth phase include introduction of customized products for the Indian markets; setting up of a viable and efficient aftermarket network; an equipment rental and used-equipment market and training of manpower to operate the equipment.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AT ACE

 

At ACE, Transparency and Fairness are synonymous with corporate governance. They believe, corporate governance, is not a concept to be read in books, but to be practiced with responsibility and integrity towards all stakeholders (shareholders, creditors, bankers, suppliers and others). They believe both the short-term and long-term impact of a management decision must be taken into consideration. In fact, they  think corporate governance can be called conscience governance because it takes more than laws, agreements and strategies to be a good corporate.

 

 

AT ACE, CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AIMS TO:

 

§            Achieve a proper balance between entrepreneurship and control, as well as between performance and compliance;

§            Facilitate performance-driven management and provide mechanisms for management and leadership, while ensuring integrity and transparency in decision-making;

§            Determine the company’s objectives, the means through which these are to be attained and how performance is to be evaluated. In this respect, corporate governance is intended to encourage and enable the board and management to pursue objectives that are in the best interests of the company, its shareholders and other interested parties, such as the company’s customers and personnel.
