PERFORMANCE:

 

The Performance of the company during the year has been much better than projected. This was due to exponential growth in the domestic demand. The results of the principal customer of the company Bajaj Auto Limited Also executed all expectations.

 

The Net Sales and Other Income were higher at Rs.8772.700 Millions against Rs.6601.900 Millions of previous year, a jump of about 33%. The Profit before Tax increased by more than 172% and stood at Rs.676.100 Millions against Rs.248.200 Millions.

 

The company has ambitious plans to grow organically as well as inorganically. Towards its plans for inorganic growth, the company is looking for some strategic domestic acquisition in the fiels of components for LMV LCVl and HCVs.

 

 

EUROPEAN OPERATIONS:

 

As a part of capital re-structuring, the loan advanced by the company to its WOS Varroc European Holding B.V. (“VEHBV”) was converted to Equity. VEHBV issued 116770 Equity Shares of Euro 100 each to the company.

 

The European economy is experiencing severe recession and as such all the business are adversely affected. The European subsidiaries are not exception to it. In order to cope with the situation of falling demand, the company has closed down the operations at IMES, Poland. Some of the critical machines form Poland were shifted to Indian operations to upgrade capacity for potential demand; certain machines were shifted to IMES Italy to build the back up capacities in respect of customers of Poland. Shifting of customers to Italy will also held in reaping the benefits of economies of Scale. The remaining machines of IMES Sp zoo, Poland are being disposed off locally. The company is also on the lookout for a buyer for disposing off the real estate owned by IMES Poland.

 

IMES, Italy is also getting its term loans re-structured from the Italian bank to overcome the liquidity issues created by falling demand. The re-structuring is on the verge of closure.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

 

The emerging economies including India and China have recovered form the effect of global meltdown which prevailed up to the first half of the period. India’s recovery has been much quicker than expected, owing to its strong fundamentals.

 

Advance tax  paid by India’s top auto, metals and consumers goods firms jumped in the first quarter of FY 11, suggesting robust profits as demand rebounds. Analysts believe profit numbers would be good from these specific sectors and are overweight on consumers goods, pharma, auto and auto ancillaries.

 

India’s per capital consumption is increasing and is expected to rise by leaps and bounds for the next five years. In auto sector, the trend story continues, demand is very strong. Low cost of production and exports will benefit auto ancillaries.

 

India’s headline inflation and the anticipated fiscal measures to control inflation are areas of concern. Analysts are also underweight on real estate and cements on fears of inflation and high input costs.

 

As far as the global scenario is concerned, worries are rampant about the impact of potential double-dip recession as a result of problem in Greece, Spain and other economies.

 

However, as per the available reports, there is not risk of double-dip recession and weaker euro would be goods for the euro-zone economy in the short term since it would help exports and gradual ruse in the Chinese Yuan could be good for economic growth.

 

As per published figures released by independent agencies, the sale of two wheelers and passenger cars in the  past half year are showing a robust upward trend as  most of the two wheeler and car manufacturer have recorded a good growth in numbers over corresponding period in the last year. Riding on the increasing domestic demand, the company is hopeful to improve its performance considerably during the current year. The off take by the principal customer also indicates positive trend in the ensuring period.

 

The company is fully equipped to meet the stringent demand of overseas OEM’s in terms of infrastructure, quality assurance and timely deliveries and is taking all possible steps to expand customer base to increase exports. The company is also exploring the possibility of setting up Joint Venture/ WOS in China to reap the benefit of lower costs.

 

The company is committed to the improvement of environment, safety, health and society and the same has been incorporated in the Company’s Mission Statement and Quality Policy. By way of reinforcing its commitment, the company is taking active steps to obtain ISO 14001/OSHAS 18001 Certification in the near future for all its plants. In the vase of VEPL-V, ISO/TS16949 audit has been completed in January, 2010 and the certificate is awaited.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Bank facilities of Durovalves (India) receive higher rating by CRISIL


Equity Bites: 20 January 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

20 January 2011 - Indian rating agency CRISIL today upgraded the ratings on bank facilities of Durovalves (India) Private Limited to BBB+/P2 from BBB-/P3.

 

The agency issued the following press release:

 

Rs.53.6 Million Long-Term Loan BBB+/Stable (Upgraded from ' BBB-/Stable')

 

Rs.100 Million Cash Credit BBB+/Stable (Upgraded from ' BBB-/Stable')

 

Rs.100 Million Purchase Bill Discounting BBB+/Stable (Upgraded from ' BBB-/Stable')

 

Rs.22.5 Million Bank Guarantee P2 (Upgraded from 'P3')

 

Rs.200 Million Letter of Credit P2 (Upgraded from 'P3')

 

CRISIL has upgraded its rating on the long-term bank facilities of Durovalves (ndiaI) Private Limited (Durovalves, part of the Varroc group), to 'BBB+/Stable/P2' from 'BBB-/Stable/P3'.

 

The upgrade in rating is driven by an expectation of strong revenue growth for the Varroc group, which, coupled with a stable operating margin, will result in an improvement in the group's net worth and capital structure. The group's revenues registered growth of 50 per cent in the first half of 2010-11 (refers to April 1 to September 30) over the first half of 2009-10; its operating margin was stable, at 13 per cent. The growth in revenues is driven by the healthy growth in the two-wheeler industry and increase in Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL; rated 'AAA/Stable/P1+' by CRISIL) market share; BAL accounts for around 70 to 75 per cent of the group's revenues. The revenues of the group are expected to register growth of 40 to 45 per cent in 2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31). This, coupled with a stable operating margin, is expected to result in high net profits. As a result, the net worth of the group is expected to increase to around Rs.4.1 billion, as on March 31, 2011, from Rs.2.8 billion, as on March 31, 2010. The growth in net worth, coupled with moderate capital expenditure plan, is expected to result in an improvement in gearing to around 1.0 time as on March 31, 2011 from 1.3 times as on March 31, 2010.

 

The ratings reflect the Varroc group's established track record in the automotive (auto) components business, diversified product portfolio, and healthy financial risk profile marked by adequate debt protection metrics. These rating strengths are partially offset by Varroc group's exposure to risks related to high customer concentration in revenue profile.

 

Analytical Approach

 

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of Durovalves, Varroc Engineering Private Limited (VEPL), Varroc Exhaust Systems Private Limited (VESPL), Varroc Polymers Private Limited (VPPL) and Varroc Elastomers Private Limited (VELPL); collectively referred as Varroc group, as all the companies are in the same line of business and are owned by the same promoter. The financials of VEPL's overseas subsidiary Varroc European Holding BV, Netherlands (VEHBV), and its step-down subsidiary, IMES Italy, collectively referred to as IMES group, have not been consolidated. This is because of the Varroc group management's demonstrated action of letting IMES group go into debt restructuring; Varroc group is not expected to infuse any additional funds in the IMES group. CRISIL has deducted the value of investments made in the IMES group, at Rs.1.3 billion, from the net worth of the Varroc group.

 

Outlook: Stable

 

CRISIL believes that the Varroc group will maintain its market position in the auto component business over the medium term, driven by the strong growth prospects in its end-user industry and its established relationship with BAL. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if the group diversifies its customer profile or is able to generate higher-than-expected cash accruals thereby resulting in a significant improvement in capital structure. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to 'Negative' if the Varroc group provides additional funding support to the IMES group, or if there is a substantial decline in the operating margin or working capital requirements are larger than expected, thereby deteriorating its financial risk profile.

 

About the Group

 

The Varroc group commenced operations in 1988 with the manufacture of plastic-injection-moulded components for supply to BAL in Aurangabad (Maharashtra). The group has since diversified its product portfolio; it now offers a variety of electrical, polymer-based engineering assemblies and sub-assemblies. The group comprises five companies operating in India, organised under two divisions - VEPL and its subsidiaries, VESPL, and Durovalves, which are in the electrical and metallic components business; and VPPL and its subsidiary, VELPL, which manufacture polymer-based components. The group operates 18 plants in five locations across India.

 

In 2006-07, the group set up VEHBV, a special purpose vehicle, which acquired a majority stake in the IMES group, which had two plants in Europe, one each in Italy and Poland. The IMES group closed its plant in Poland in 2009-10 and is in advanced stage of negotiations with buyers to sell off the land for around Rs.600 million. Varroc group has written down the investments of Rs.1.3 billion made in IMES group in 2009-10. Promoted by the Jain family, the Varroc group is managed by Mr. Tarang Jain.

 

Varroc group reported net sales of Rs.15.0 billion for 2009-10, against net sales of Rs.11.6 billion for 2008-09.

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

(ADP news) - Jan 20, 2011 - Indian rating agency CRISIL today upgraded the ratings on three loans and a purchase-discounting facility of Varroc Polymers Private Limited  to BBB+/"stable" from BBB-/"stable".

 

The agency issued the following press release:

 

Rs.329 Million Long Term Loan BBB+/Stable (Upgraded from ' BBB-/Stable')

 

Rs.500 Million Cash Credit BBB+/Stable (Upgraded from ' BBB-/Stable')

 

Rs.50 Million Cash Credit * BBB+/Stable (Upgraded from ' BBB-/Stable')

 

Rs.400 Million Bill Purchase-Discounting Facility BBB+/Stable (Upgraded from ' BBB-/Stable’)

 

Rs.40 Million Bank Guarantee P2 (Upgraded from P3)

 

Rs.50 Million Letter of Credit P2 (Upgraded from P3)

 

Rs.500 Million Letter of Credit # P2 (Upgraded from P3)

 

* Interchangeable with ULC/SLC/BG/BC/WCDL

 

# Fully Interchangeable with Buyers Credit

 

CRISIL has upgraded its rating on the long-term bank facilities of Varroc Polymers Private Limited (VPPL, part of the Varroc group), to BBB+/Stable/P2 from BBB-/Stable/P3.

 

The upgrade in rating is driven by an expectation of strong revenue growth for the Varroc group, which, coupled with a stable operating margin, will result in an improvement in the group’s net worth and capital structure. The groups revenues registered growth of 50 per cent in the first half of 2010-11 (refers to April 1 to September 30) over the first half of 2009-10; its operating margin was stable, at 13 per cent. The growth in revenues is driven by the healthy growth in the two-wheeler industry and increase in Bajaj Auto Limited (BAL; rated AAA/Stable/P1+ by CRISIL) market share; BAL accounts for around 70 to 75 per cent of the groups revenues. The revenues of the group are expected to register growth of 40 to 45 per cent in 2010-11 (refers to financial year, April 1 to March 31). This, coupled with a stable operating margin, is expected to result in high net profits. As a result, the net worth of the group is expected to increase to around Rs.4.1 billion, as on March 31, 2011, from Rs.2.8 billion, as on March 31, 2010. The growth in net worth, coupled with moderate capital expenditure plan, is expected to result in an improvement in gearing to 1.0 time as on March 31, 2011 from 1.3 times as on March 31, 2010.

 

The ratings reflect the Varroc groups established track record in the automotive (auto) components business, diversified product portfolio, and healthy financial risk profile marked by adequate debt protection metrics. These rating strengths are partially offset by Varroc groups exposure to risks related to high customer concentration in revenue profile.

 

Analytical Approach

 

For arriving at its ratings, CRISIL has combined the business and financial risk profiles of VPPL, Varroc Engineering Private Limited (VEPL), Varroc Exhaust Systems Private Limited (VESPL), Durovalves (India) Private Limited (Durovalves), and Varroc Elastomers Private Limited (VELPL); collectively referred as Varroc group, as all the companies are in the same line of business and are owned by the same promoter. The financials of VEPLs overseas subsidiary Varroc European Holding BV, Netherlands (VEHBV), and its step-down subsidiary, IMES Italy, collectively referred to as IMES group, have not been consolidated. This is because of the Varroc group managements demonstrated action of letting IMES group go into debt restructuring; Varroc group is not expected to infuse any additional funds in the IMES group. CRISIL has deducted the value of investments made in the IMES group, at Rs.1.3 billion, from the net worth of the Varroc group.

 

Outlook: Stable

 

CRISIL believes that the Varroc group will maintain its market position in the auto component business over the medium term, driven by the strong growth prospects in its end-user industry and its established relationship with BAL. The outlook may be revised to Positive if the group diversifies its customer profile or is able to generate higher-than-expected cash accruals thereby resulting in a significant improvement in capital structure. Conversely, the outlook may be revised to Negative if the Varroc group provides additional funding support to the IMES group, or if there is a substantial decline in the operating margin or working capital requirements are larger than expected, thereby deteriorating its financial risk profile.

 

About the Group

 

The Varroc group commenced operations in 1988 with the manufacture of plastic-injection-moulded components for supply to BAL in Aurangabad (Maharashtra). The group has since diversified its product portfolio; it now offers a variety of electrical, polymer-based engineering assemblies and sub-assemblies. The group comprises five companies operating in India, organised under two divisions - VEPL and its subsidiaries, VESPL, and Durovalves, which are in the electrical and metallic components business; and VPPL and its subsidiary, VELPL, which manufacture polymer-based components. The group operates 18 plants in five locations across India.

 

In 2006-07, the group set up VEHBV, a special purpose vehicle, which acquired a majority stake in the IMES group, which had two plants in Europe, one each in Italy and Poland. The IMES group closed its plant in Poland in 2009-10 and is in advanced stage of negotiations with buyers to sell off the land for around Rs.600 million. Varroc group has written down the investments of Rs.1.3 billion made in IMES group in 2009-10. Promoted by the Jain family, the Varroc group is managed by Mr. Tarang Jain.

 

Varroc group reported net sales of Rs.15.0 billion for 2009-10, against net sales of Rs.11.6 billion for 2008-09.
