LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY: 

 

The transformation of Subject took place when Nitin Kasliwal took over the reins of his family run textiles business, of which Subject was the flagship company. Since assuming control he has created a strong textiles focused company that is completely professional in structure and management. With a vision to clothe the world, Subject is arguably the only Indian textiles player today that is operating across all fiber categories and market segments.

 

Subject became a purely textiles and apparel company with no other businesses. With a strong focus on manufacturing especially it set up in addition to its existing manufacturing facilities in Dewas MP, a state of the art luxury suiting plant at Mysore in 1998. With over 4 units spread across these 2 locations, the company was set to achieve bigger heights.

 

Challenging circumstances not withstanding Subject grew at a scorching pace. It developed a wide distribution network of more than 30,000 agents and dealers. Its deep penetration in all retail formats helped it ride the boom in consumer spending and growth of organised retail.

 

To keep pace with brisk growth in business, teams were strengthened and infrastructure modernized. Offices, plants, machinery were updated in line with the growth outlined for the company.

 

CURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND PLANS

 

Their domestic operating performance has significantly improved from the last year. Their international line of business is building a robust platform to expand their reach in the global market. They expect future business growth to be driven largely by volumes, across the various strategic business units of the company. SKNL has become a true multinational by making substantial investment overseas.The present phase is of consolidation so as to realize the fruits of their expertise and investment abroad.

 

Plans are afoot to launch new brands, either owned or through licensing arrangements, targeting different consumer segments. Towards this, the company has been actively pursuing a brand building strategy for developing a strong brand equity and recall. In the ready-to-wear segment, two new brands, one in casual premium and another in economy (World Player) are planned to be launched. Casual premium will be an out-of-office designer wear targeting the youth of the country, while World Player is aimed for the masses.

 

The company is pleased to inform that commercial production at the High Value Fine Cotton plant at Jhagadia (Gujarat) has since commenced with annual capacity of 12.75m meters. Optimum utilization levels will be achieved from the fourth quarter of the year onwards. This division has been renamed as Baruche Superfine Cottons (BSFC). The global market size of HVFC fabric is expected at 550-600m meters annually, characterized with absence of any significant competition. Also, bulk of the manufacturing capacity is located in high cost manufacturing countries in the EU. This presents the company with a low-cost manufacturing base to capitalize on the attractive business opportunities. Although a few Indian manufacturers meet the quality norms, they have been unable to penetrate the market as they lack a proper distribution channel. The company’s acquisition of Leggiuno will help to establish itself in the European market and cater to leading fashion houses and brands earning much better realizations.

 

The company is now the proud new owner of HMX entity, one of America’s leading clothing companies catering to the luxury and premium end of the American market. Established in 1872, HMX is the largest manufacturer and marketer of men’s suits and coats in the United States. It markets business, casual and golf apparel under its 34 owned and licensed brands. The leading brands are - Hart Schaffner Marx, Hickey Freeman, Misook, Coppley, Austin Reed, Claiborne and Pierre Cardin etc. HMX’s broad range of distribution channels includes fine speciality and leading department stores, value-oriented retailers and direct mail catalogues. The company is fully prepared to meet the requirements of HMX group as a dedicated supplier.

 

SKNL has consecutively delivered healthy performance at all times, and has stood through growth in business earnings even in the challenging environment. Given that consumer sentiment is improving, their performance going forward looks encouraging. SKNL is well poised for growth on the back of strong brand presence across various socio-economic categories in the domestic branded textile and garments industry. The company’s acquisitions in the overseas markets have provided us with a growing presence in global regions. With a dominant position in the domestic branded garment and textile industry, a strengthening position in the international geographies and an improving global market, the company is confident that it will continue to deliver improved and sustainable performances.

 

The company is now a billion dollar multi-national textile conglomerate. Contribution of domestic business to total revenue in FY 10 was 82%.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

The global as well as the Indian economy is fast catching up post the world economic slowdown. A lot of people know India as the 12th largest economy globally and second largest in South East Asia. India is also the second largest textile producer in the world.

 

India exports about US $ 22 billion worth of Textiles and Apparel to various countries in the world. The Indian textile and apparel industry is one of the oldest and most significant industries in the country. Apart from China, no

other country can match the size, spread, depth, and competitiveness of the Indian textile and apparel industry. Moreover, the global elimination of quotas at the end of 2004 has greatly enhanced the opportunities for India to showcase its inherent strength and become a top sourcing and investment destination. Today, the industry contributes around 14% to industrial production in the country, 4% to the GDP, is estimated to directly employ approximately 35 mn people apart from the indirect employment in allied sectors, thus making it the second largest employer after agriculture. It accounts for about 15% of the country’s exports, and is, in sum, an important economic engine for the nation.

 

With huge growth potential and opportunities, textile industry brings lots of challenges and issues by the sheer nature of this industry. One of the biggest issues the textile industry faces today, and will face in near future, is investments. The current manufacturing capacities cannot meet the unprecedented growth in the demand. In the short term, up to 2011-12, the total investment requirements are estimated at US$ 40 bn, and since 2006-07, only US$15 bn worth of investments have been made. Other issues being faced by the industry are comparatively low level of technology, lower scale of operations and lower productivity levels, which are inherent to Indian industry because of its fragmented nature and an unorganized sector being prevalent in India.

 

They believe that the Textiles and Apparel Industry will evolve further. The government has laid emphasis on capacity building of raw material, machinery, infrastructure and manufacturing units of technical textiles, standardization, product development and common testing facilities with international accreditation, domestic and export market development and human resource development.

 

Opportunities / Threats / Challenges

 

SKNL caters to the entire socio-economic spectrum of the branded textiles segment from economy to the premium and luxury segment. However, the key growth driver for the company will be the contribution from the recently commissioned HVFC facility along with the planned expansion of worsted fabrics capacity from 9.0 m meters to 10.2 m meters. The Leggiuno acquisition will provide an opportunity for front end and back end synergy for HVFC. It will also help SKNL to expand its EU presence by servicing other brands. SKNL can also substitute the worsted fabric sourced by HMX from USA with that produced at its Mysore facility. This can generate synergies from the acquisition as SKNL will benefit from higher volumes whereas HMX will be able to substantially rationalise its raw material sourcing costs on worsted fabrics.

 

Brand Strength: SKNL’s brands (owned as well as licensed), namely, S.Kumars, Belmonte, Reid and Taylor and Stephens Brothers are well-established and enjoy good brand recall. Post HMX and DKNY. SKNL has one of the largest brand portfolios globally with 45 brands operational.

 

Strong Distribution Network: A distribution network of over 30000 retailers and over 300 wholesalers has enabled SKNL to enjoy a 30% market share of the organized uniform and work-wear fabric market. Expansion of EBOs by the group’s retail company Brandhouse Retails Limited further enhances its retail reach for selling mid-priced to luxury products.

 

Global Presence: SKNL, post acquisition of Leggiuno and HMX, has achieved a global footprint in the key markets for premium textiles like US and the EU. This will benefit the company when there is a revival in consumer spending on premium products.

 

Professional Management: The company has a professional team with proven execution track record coupled with impeccable industry experience and domain knowledge. Also, with a separate management team for looking after the affairs of the SBUs this strengthens the focus and also results in better accountability.

 

Inability to pass on higher raw material costs: Although the company’s target segment in the luxury space affords enough room to pass on the rise in raw material costs, any inability to do the same could lower the margins thereby impacting profitability to a certain extent.

 

Competition from other countries: Indian manufacturers compete with players in countries like China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam, etc. in the exports market. Any policy advantage available to these manufacturers could impact the competitiveness of Indian companies.

 

Aggressive expansion: SKNL is aggressively ramping up its capacities across its SBUs. Any continued slowdown in global as well as domestic economy can adversely impact profitability.

 

Scope for expanding presence in developed economies: With many manufacturing facilities abroad on the verge of shutdown, there is enough scope for companies like SKNL to establish a presence in these economies.

 

Increase domestic market share: With the impact of economic slowdown resulting in closure of many small inefficient mills, companies like SKNL can capitalize and increase their domestic market share.

Financial Performance Review

(SKNL results that are being reviewed are consolidated with Reid and Taylor India Limited (RTIL), Leggiuno along with holding Companies, HMX LLC and SKNL UK)

 

Revenues

In the quarter under review, SKNL’s net sales grew 67.5% mainly driven by enhanced performance reported by RTIL and Belmonte and significant contribution from International business. There has been volume improvement in key SBUs namely Consumer Textiles, Luxury Textiles, and Total Wardrobe Solutions (TWS). The joint venture with DKNY for the global menswear licence of the DKNY brand is expected to contribute to revenues in the coming quarters. The Baruche Superfine Cotton - 12.75 million meters per annum state-of-the-art HVFC facility has started delivering results as the operations stabilized during the quarter. Overseas subsidiaries contribution to the total sales of the Company has been Rs. 3,290.4 million in Q1 FY2011.

 

EBIDTA

EBIDTA margins during the quarter were at 18.9%. Initiatives to improve sales from high margin brands like Belmonte and Reid and Taylor will help improve margins going forward. EBIDTA margins from the overseas businesses have grown to 5.2% from 4.2%.

 

Depreciation

Depreciation increased by about 96.2% owing to depreciation charges incurred on the BSFC plant in Gujarat and capitalisation during FY2010. Consolidation of Leggiuno and HMX has also added to the depreciation cost.

 

Interest

Interest cost has gone up in tune with the increase in the turnover. Interest charges stood at Rs. 732.7 million. As the Company is growing, working capital requirements have expanded resulting in higher interest expenses. The Company has also availed Term Loans on its various growth plans including overseas acquisitions.

 

Net Profit

Profit after tax but before minority interest has grown at the rate of 25% on a Y-o-Y basis implying a robust earnings performance. The minority interest pertains to GIC’s investment in RTIL. Earnings have improved on the back of improved volumes as well as margins from the domestic as well as international businesses.
