MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2009-10 WAS a challenging year for the Company following a search by the Department

of Revenue Intelligence on the Company’s premises leading to the seizure of imported material belonging to the Company lying at the ports and warehouses. The result of this unexpected action was a virtual freeze on the sale of imported material for around five months, resulting in a revenue decline by 31.03% in 2009-10 when compared with the previous year.

 

The result was a decline in the sale of vitrified tiles by 40.88% to Rs.2018.800 millions and of marble by 42.09% to Rs.787.500 millions, which was partly offset by an increase in the offtake of ceramic floor and wall tiles from Rs.1504.900 millions to Rs.1847.100 millions. The result was a 62.73% decline in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBIDTA) to Rs.280.800 millions corresponding to an EBIDTA margin of 6.97%.

 

Following the release of seized material, the Company is attractively placed to report a revenue rebound in 2010-11 and after for the following reasons:

 

·         The Company is a complete flooring solution provider (ceramic and vitrified tiles and marble).

 

·         The Company consistently distinguished itself from the broad tile industry through a focus on the premium tile segment through a combination of in-house manufacturing and selective outsourcing.

 

·         The Company largely focused on the retail market to derisk from a dependence on a few institutional customers and enhance realisations.

 

·         The Company consistently invested in its product portfolio through periodic product launches.

 

·         The Company widened and deepened its national footprint through the launch of 50 Le Studios (14 owned and 36 franchisee based Le Studio Express) across Tier I and Tier II cities.

 

·         Pan-India sale with a network of over 800 dealers, 18 sales and marketing offices and 23 warehouses.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Global ceramic tiles industry

 

The global ceramic tile industry (worth US$36 billion) is growing at 6% annually. Production is dominated by Brazil, Italy, Spain and China (produces 40% and consumes 34% of the global ceramic tiles output). Italy’s ceramic tile output and sales are expected to decline 22% and 18% in 2010, Germany’s tile production declined 18% in 2009 and Spain’s ceramic tile output and sales decreased 55% and 37% in 2009 owing to the global slowdown. The growth of the global ceramic tile industry was affected by the following factors:

 

Raw material cost: The cost of clay (key input for the industry) increased following a rise in fuel costs.

 

Fuel cost: The increase in oil price affected input and distribution costs.

 

Currency volatility: Currency fluctuation affected global trade in the industry.

 

Indian economy overview

 

The Indian GDP of US$1,217 (1.96% of the world economy) grew 7.4% in 2009-10 compared with 6.7% in 2008-09 following strong fiscal stimulus, monetary easing, improving consumer confidence, return of risk appetite and large capital inflows. The real turnaround happened in the last quarter of 2009-10, when the economy grew 8.6%. India’s gross domestic savings declined from 36.4% in 2008 to 32.5% in 2009 whereas gross domestic capital formation declined from 37.7% in 2008-09 to 34.9% in 2009-10.

INDIAN CERAMIC TILE INDUSTRY

 

India is among the top five ceramic tile manufacturing countries. India’s tile production is around 390 million sq. mtr a year, with a 20% increase in 2009 compared with the previous year outperforming the global average of 6%. The ceramic tile industry comprises wall tiles (market share 35%), floor tiles (12%), vitrified and porcelain tiles (53%). The unorganised sector accounts for approximately 60% of the ceramic tile segment. India’s per capita consumption of ceramic tiles is around 0.36 sq. mtr compared with 2 sq. mtr in China.

 

Industry drivers: The Indian ceramic tile industry is expected to register robust growth due to the following drivers:

 

Real estate: The US$2.8-billion FDI (2009-10) in Indian real estate will catalyse the tile industry. The medium housing segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25%, while luxury housing at 33% during 2009-13.

 

Commercial space: The commercial market (including IT/ITeS, BPO, banking and financial services, pharmaceutical and telecom) in India is expected to grow at 20-22% over the next five years in cities like Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad, among others.

 

Retail: The US$353-billion Indian retail market is the world’s fifth largest and expected to grow to US$543.2 billion by 2014. The organised retail segment is likely to grow around 15% by 2015 covering 323 million sq. ft by 2012 across 400 new malls.

 

Healthcare: The healthcare sector is expected at US$76.4 billion in 2012-13 from US$38 billion in 2008-09  following an infrastructure development of Rs.1,300 billion. Revenue from this sector is likely to reach 8% of the GDP (from the current 5%) by 2012.

 

Hospitality: As India emerges as a preferred tourist destination, the number of branded hotel rooms is expected to double in three years. The demand and capital investment in the travel and tourism sector is likely to grow 8.2% and 8.8% in another nine years.

 

Affluence: The average net worth of the Indian household is expected to grow from US$12,000 in 2007 to US$57,000 in 2017. Moreover, India has been urbanising at 28%, faster than its population growth. Discretionary spending in lifestyle and premium products is expected to increase to around 70% of most of the household expense pie by 2025

 

THE BUSINESS

Vitrified tiles: This is the largest product segment for the Company. The Company has a sourcing arrangement with large vitrified tile manufacturers in China to address increasing demand across dimensions (600 x 600 mm, 800 x 800 mm, 1000 x 1000 mm and 1200 x 600 mm) in the premium segment. The Company also tied up with some manufacturers in Gujarat for the supply of wall tiles and entry-level vitrified tiles.

 

Ceramic tiles: This is the second largest product segment of the Company. Floor tiles are available in four sizes (300x300 mm, 445x445 mm, 600x300 mm and 600x600 mm) whereas wall tiles are available in two sizes (250x300 mm and 600x300 mm) in glossy, matt, wood, metal, stone, leather and rustic finishes. The Company launched 70 exquisite concepts across 135 SKUs categorised into five series in 2009-10. The wall tiles were complemented with highlighters. The average sales realisations of ceramic floor tiles increased from Rs. 356 per

sq. mtr in 2008-09 to Rs. 396 per sq. mtr in 2009-10.

 

Marble: This is the third largest product segment of the Company. Marble is imported mainly in the form of blocks and processed. The Company markets natural and engineered marble to customers across 100 shades at the Company’s unit at Kanjurmarg and Silvassa. The Company enjoys one of the highest market shares of marble imports in India (12.2%). The average sales realisations increased from Rs. 245 per sq. ft in 2008-09 to Rs. 285 per sq. ft in 2009-10.

 

Naturoc: This is the newest addition to the Company portfolio. The gres porcelain tile was manufactured for the

first time in India by the Company in 2009, substituting imported tiles from Italy and Spain. This tile was manufactured in the 600x600 mm size across more than 40 natural designs and textures with a semi-glossy look.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

During the year, the Company sales were down to Rs.4653.300 millions against Rs.6746.600 millions, the previous year. A search was conducted by the Department of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on various premises of the Company in the month of August 2009 to investigate certain import and export transactions and seized all the imported materials lying at the ports and warehouses of the Company. On the instructions of DRI, the Customs Authorities released the major imported material during December 2009 to January 2010.

 

Hence sales of imported vitrified tiles and imported marble were suspended for around 5 months and sales of vitrified tiles were down by 40.88% to Rs.2018.800 millions against sales of Rs.3414.400 millions in the previous year and sales of marble were down by 42.09% to Rs.787.500 millions as compared to Rs.1359.800 millions in the previous year. Due to lower sales, there was a loss of Rs.87.100 millions in the year against a net profit of Rs.249.700 millions in the previous year.

 

CURRENT YEAR'S OUTLOOK

 

With the healthy growth of the Indian economy and the industry in which the Company operates, the Company

should be able to improve sales and corresponding profitability in the current year.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

Subsequent to the year, the Company has invested in a marble quarry through a wholly owned subsidiary in Turkey.
