OPERATIONS

 

2009-10 has been a year of substantial changes – many parts of Asia, led by India and China have experienced a robust economic recovery from the downturn experienced in the previous year. While at the global level recovery has been slow, the picture in India has been much healthier since:

 

- there is a stable government in place since the middle of 2009

 

- economic activity has seen improvement in most sectors

 

- the country has witnessed a robust GDP growth and the economy is poised for a healthy growth in the coming years

 

- infrastructure, power, automobile and communication sectors will be powering the projected growth in the upcoming years

 

The Company is favorably positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that the economic growth will provide; however a rather poor monsoon and lower agricultural output have had an impact on prices, especially inflation which has been spiraling in recent months. Commodity prices which were subdued during the early part of this financial year, have surged once more, nearing pre financial crisis levels in many cases.

 

During 2009-10 the Company saw significant improvement in sales volumes across all product lines – electrical cables, optic fibre and coaxial cables saw robust growth in volumes compared to the previous year. Similarly, the product offering to various customer sectors automotive, agriculture, real estate, power and OEM – all saw healthy volume growth during the year.

 

As mentioned above, commodity prices such as in the case of Copper, have surged during the second half of the year keeping in mind the need to reach additional market areas and expand market share, the Company has resorted to price adjustments in the selling prices as was considered appropriate.

 

Currency markets continued their volatile trend; at the year end, the Indian Rupee had appreciated against most other currencies; however in view of the volatility experienced, the Company had decided not to keep any uncovered exposures on account of foreign exchange – all its current purchases of raw materials from outside India are fully covered as soon as the import is finalized. Foreign currency and interest rate protection measures taken in the earlier years, however continued to produce negative results and an amount of Rs. 758.176 million has been charged as an Exceptional Item to the Profit & Loss Account in the year 2009-10.

 

Income for the year was significantly higher at Rs. 16,428.26 million (previous year Rs.13,924.66 million) representing a growth of 18% over the previous year. Following the robust growth achieved at the sales level, the Company has recorded a Net Profit of Rs. 576.20 million as against a Net Loss of Rs. 354.91 million in the previous year. This represents a significant turnaround in the Company’s operations in almost all areas be it production, sales or finance. Higher capacity utilization, increase in market share, growth in sales volumes across all product lines, tight monitoring of costs and working capital requirement all led to significant improvement in the financials for the year. Several cost reduction projects were undertaken and completed successfully during the year incorporating the learnings from the Six Sigma program that employees went through during the earlier years.

 

Segmentally, while Electrical Cables contributed 60%, Communication Cables contributed 16% to the total sale of products. The Electrical Cables growth was led by the rebound in the Real Estate & Infrastructure sectors and in the Communication Cables segment, Optic Fibre Cables business continued to grow and the order book in this business is currently healthy. With the imminent introduction of 3G services and expansion of internet connectivity to rural areas, it is envisaged that the Communication Cables segment will witness considerable growth in the coming years.

 

 

FINANCE

 

To finance the capacity enhancement activities undertaken during the year, the Company availed of a long term External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) of USD 10 million. The said loan has an average maturity of 4 years and is repayable in 3 equal yearly installments from 2013 onwards.

 

The Company’s short term debt programs continue to enjoy the highest ratings from CRISIL. Since the last few years these have been accorded the P1+ rating. The Company also holds AA/Negative rating for its Rs. 500 million long term non convertible debentures which are due for redemption in August 2010. A similar rating has also been obtained for another Rs. 500 million long term non convertible debentures to be issued at an appropriate time in future.

 

The Company follows a balanced policy to manage liquidity and borrowing. Owing to tight controls on matching fund requirements with availability, the Company has saved significantly on financial expenses during the year. The Company has been able to meet its financial commitments in a timely manner

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

 

  • Production of electrical cables during the year was at 1,152.01 TCKM (thousand core kilometers) (previous year: 782.48 TCKM).
