LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

Over the last three years, the company through its subsidiaries and joint ventures has been able to add more capacities, acquires strategic companies, set up new divisions, expand into new geographies, strengthen its design infrastructure, implement ERP and has now reached an enviable position of “One Stop Shop” destination for its customers. Today, the company through its subsidiaries and joint ventures offers almost all categories of garments, manufactured either in its own or outsourced from the most cost effective locations on either FOB or LDP terms to its customers.

 

In the industry scenario, where most of the top retailers of the world are consolidating their vendor base, stand alone vendors are going out of business and their share are being taken  over by companies which can provide one Stop Shop Solutions. Vendors that are able to offer value addition in terms of design input, provide different sourcing options and have the operational and financial resources to meet retailers increasing requirements are being categorized as their “Preferred Vendors”. This gives the vendor an edge over the competition. Due to all its investments over the last couple of years, the company through subsidiaries has already been categorized as Preferred Vendor by various big Retailers in US and Europe. This together with strategic acquisitions, helps the company to retain and grow its market share and add new customers and enter new geography.

 

 

Consolidated turnover of the company is Rs.18320.500 Millions, up by more than 26% in financial year 2009-10. The consolidated profit of the company is Rs.141.400 Millions compared to profit of Rs.13.200 Millions for last year. With no expected increase in fixed overheads, the company expects that the new business initiatives will be start yielding increase in sales and improved consolidated profit.

 

Considering the growing demand, the company plans to enhance manufacturing capacities at Gurgaon, Chennai and Bangladesh during the financial year 2010-11. Company’s subsidiary, House of Pearl Fashions (US) Limited has acquired license for Geoffrey Benne in US market and look to evaluate this model to see future prospects. For this they have built a strong team in New York for managing replenishment process. In the warehouse in New Jersey, they are developing ability to manage pick and pack services. The company is looking at 3-5 year strategy to form strategic alliance/JV’s with mills for woven bottoms and knit fabrics and evaluating opportunities in Duty free countries such as Egypt.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Subject is multinational, ready to wear apparel Company operating in three business streams: manufacturing, marketing and distribution and sourcing of garments through its subsidiaries. House of Pearl also provides total supply chain solutions to the customers, which include value retailers as well as higher-end fashion brand retails in the United States and Europe.

 

The Company operates through its subsidiaries, has an integrated business model with two distinct business streams:-

 

1. Manufacturing and Merchant Trade

 

The group has manufacturing facilities in Bangladesh, India, Vietnam and Indonesia which execute orders procured from customers. It also engages in Merchant Trade where office in India procures order from customers and outsources these orders to own/ third party factories in Bangladesh, China and Indonesia.

 

2. Sourcing Marketing and Distribution (SDM)

 

SDM business has marketing offices in Hong Kong, USA and UK which procure orders from customers and outsource these orders entirely to third party manufacturers. It also has apparel processing and distribution facilities in USA and UK.

 

They have fabric development centers in China and India as well as design and product development teams in U.K., U.S., India and Hong Kong. The fabric development teams circulate the latest fabric ideas to all the designers who develop a product profile, which is then sent to the manufacturing facilities for product development. The design and product development teams support all three streams of the business across all locations.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE and DEVELOPMENT

 

Indian Textile Industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world. Though was predominantly unorganized industry even a few years back, but the scenario started changing after the economic liberalization of Indian economy in 1991. The opening up of economy gave the much-needed thrust to the Indian textile industry, which has now successfully become one of the largest in the world.

 

Indian textile industry largely depends upon the textile manufacturing and export. It also plays a major role in the economy of the country. India earns about 27% of its total foreign exchange through textile exports. Further, the textile industry of India also contributes nearly 14% of the total industrial production of the country. It also contributes around 3% to the GDP of the country. Indian textile industry is also the largest in the country in terms of employment generation. It not only generates jobs in its own industry, but also opens up scopes for the other ancillary sectors. Indian textile industry currently generates employment to more than 35 million people. It is also estimated that, the industry will generate 12 million new jobs by the year 2010.

 

According to a study conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and McKinsey and Company, India is expected to witness a seven-fold increase in its exports over the next decade. One of the sectors to be benefited is the apparel sector. The garment industry in India is completely self-dependent; right from manufacturing of fibre to finished garments, everything is done in the country itself.

 

Factors such as ‘buyers are in town’ and ‘a heavy booking season’ affect garment exporting businesses in India. Buyers in town hints at the demand of the garment segment among people and a heavy booking season implies the peak time for shopping apparels and garments. With the early signs of recovery from the recessionary pressures, international fashion chains are queuing up to India.

 

Indian garment manufacturers and exporters are adept at guessing ‘what’s in’ and ‘what’s out’, when it comes to garments. New sources of raw materials, designs and ideas go into the manufacture of readymade garments that help in increasing sales and maintaining a sense of uniqueness.

 

Today, around 45% of the total textile exports in India account for ready-made garments. There are various international brands which source readymade garments from the Indian markets.

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The future of the garment industry in India does not look bleak; on the contrary it is quite promising. The Indian garment industry alone provides employment to thousands of people, a high percentage among who are young women. Therefore, the significance of the Indian garment industry cannot be ruled out when it comes to employment generation and foreign exchange generation. The growth in the garment industry will boost the growth of Indian economy. Despite global recession, the company has achieved a gross income of Rs.19044.800 Millions compared to Rs.14827.300 Millions in last financial year on consolidated basis, a growth of 28%. However, due to pressure on margins by buyers and new projects at initial operational stage, the bottom-line has not grown proportionately.

 

OPPORTUNITIES and THREATS

 

At present, India is being considered as the next pioneer country in the readymade garment export business. It is noticed that foreign buyers are keen on dealing with Indian garment exporters. In the face of such demand, Indian garment manufacturers and exporters constantly have to maintain high quality in finished products and continuously provide variations in style and design to attract the attention of prospective buyers.

 

In today’s market scenario, where most of the top retailers of the world are consolidating their vendor bases, stand alone vendors are going out of business and there share is being taken over by companies like HOPFL. Vendors that are able to offer value addition in terms of design input, provide different sourcing options and have the operational and financial resources to meet retailers increasing requirements are being categorized as their “Preferred Vendors”. This gives the vendor an edge over the competition. Due to all its investments over the last couple of years, the company through its subsidiaries has already been categorized as Preferred Vendor by various big Retailers in US and Europe.

 

The garment industry in India faces stiff competition from countries such as Bangladesh, China and Vietnam. There is a pressure on the Indian garment industries to produce finished garments at lower costs to survive the cut-throat competition.
