MARKET OVERVIEW
India
Highlight of the
Indian market was resurgence of a strong demand, both in the OEM and
replacement segments. In the key economic performance driven segment of
commercial vehicle tyres, demand from original equipment manufacturers picked
up in the last two quarters of the year after a relatively slow first half.
Truck sales registered a growth of .15% while passenger cars grew by 21% as
compared to the previous year.
Export volumes
witnessed a decline, primarily because of an unforeseen surge in domestic demand
and the need to service this segment, and partly because of the export markets
recovering at a relatively slower pace. The Indian tyre industry was definitely
back to operating at its full capacity in 2009-10.
Raw material
prices remained stable at a reasonably comfortable level in the first half.
This, coupled with a healthy demand, enabled the industry to achieve operating
margins upward of 12% for the first time in the last five years. However,
towards the end of the financial year, natural rubber touched an all time high
at- Rs 150/ kg. Increasing demand from
To combat the
rising cost of raw materials, some of the manufacturers were forced to
undertake price hikes, spread across the 3rd and 4th quarters. A robust demand
provided support externally, while upping internal efficiencies further
countered rising costs. While the antidumping duty imposed on truck-bus radial
tyres from
Going forward, the
inverted duty structure (imported natural rubber attracting twice the duty of a
tyre) staying the way it is, further price hikes would be needed to come to the
rescue of the industry, in the face of an even steeper rise in raw material
costs.
Europe
The European
market, Apollo's most recent domestic market after it acquired Vredestein
Banden BV in May 2009, now renamed as Apollo Vredestein BV, was plagued with
excess capacities in the 1st and 2nd quarters with a sharp drop in demand,
particularly from original equipment manufacturers. However, the second half
saw relatively better performance with an upward demand swing, especially in
the winter tyre segment due to the cold wave across
The improvement in
performance was aided largely by raw material prices remaining stable for the
better part of the year. Simultaneously, there were no price revisions
undertaken, which further contributed to a stable and secure sentiment being
built in the market. However, in the months to come, price increases seem to be
unavoidable, due to the spurt in raw material prices.
South Africa
Of the three
domestic markets the South African economy was the worst affected by the
previous year's global slowdown. After trying to find its feet in the first two
quarters of the year, the final two quarters showed some signs of recovery with
a positive GDP growth.
Slowdown in demand
had forced manufacturers to limit production in the first half, but since
January 2010 all local manufacturers are producing to their full capacity;
encouraged by a strong demand for passenger car and truck tyres in both the
domestic and export markets.
Going forward, the
challenge lies in successfully overcoming the raw material price volatility.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The Indian tyre industry
is dominated by five major players-Apollo Tyres, Birla, Ceat, J KTyre and
MRF-who continue to account for a substantial part of the industry's Rs. 260
billion turnover. These big five are present in all
product segments,
except for two wheelers, where only Ceat and MRF sell.
Over the year,
Birla Tyres has emerged as a significant player in the truck segment. In FY08
Birla had upped its capacity in this segment and has been steadily gaining
market share since then.
Multinationals
like Bridgestone and Goodyear Tyres though present, continue to exist as
smaller players. Bridgestone, which has till now focused solely on passenger
car radials, continues to be a market leader in this segment. Taking the import
route through Thail and
Quite unlike the
global tyre industry, which is dominated by passenger car radial sales, the
Indian tyre industry's 75% of the turnover can be accounted for by commercial
vehicle tyres. Having said that, passenger car radials retain their slot as the
fastest growing segment. Yet another point of difference between
As original
equipment manufacturers make a move towards embracing radial tyres for their
commercial vehicles, radialisation in the truck segment is slowly gaining
ground. Keeping these factors in view, radialisation levels in the commercial,
vehicle segment are expected to be anywhere between 25-30% in the next 3 years.
In anticipation of
the next big radialisation wave, most manufacturers have either installed
capacities or announced plans of doing the same, including Apollo, Birla, MRF,
Bridgestone, J K Tyre and Michelin. Similarly, considering strong demand
forecast in the passenger car segment, manufacturers across the board are
making investments to maximise capacities.
Another key factor
for the industry is imports of truck tyres from
The European tyre
market pie is divided between five major players, namely, Bridgestone,
Continental, Goodyear, Dunlop, Michelin and Pirelli, which account for nearly
85% of the turnover. Close on the heels of the big five is Hankook with its new
facility in
Car sales once
again looked up with a jump of nearly 11% in FY10, with year end sales volumes
almost reaching their pre-slowdown March 2008 levels. Though low, offtake of
tyres by original equipment manufacturers and in the truck and agriculture
segment, meant that the industry was left with lower margins for the better
part of the financial year. The agriculture tyre segment saw a drop of 20%
compared to FY09, even as all tyre sales to the automotive manufacturers came
to a near standstill and the replacement market was hit severely by the global
economic crisis.
The European
passenger car market figures, as calculated by European Rubber Manufacturer's
Conference, show total sales of about 200 million tyres for FY10 - a marginal
increase, largely attributable to good sales in the 4th quarter due to a bull
run in winter tyre sales. Another factor aiding passenger car tyre sales was
the narrowing gap between the premium, mid and budget range, resulting in an
increased preference for premium tyres from customers.
However, it must
be remembered that the European market does not offer much scope for growth
except in certain niche segments. An annual growth in the total market size is
not a very regular feature.
Going forward, the
new European tyre legislation is likely to have a huge and lasting impact on
new product developments - introduction of labelling, covering factors like
rolling resistance, wet grip and noise, will ensure that all manufacturers work
towards inclusion of more ecofriendly products in their portfolio. All major
players are already focusing on going green and working on issues related to
the use of environment friendly raw materials and various aspects of
sustainable development.
Four tyre
manufacturers-Apollo, Bridgestone Firestone, Continental and Goodyear - sell nearly
70% of the tyres in
the country; while
the remaining 30% is imported by independent manufacturers or these four.
While Bridgestone
Firestone produces truck-bus tyres under the Firestone brand in
Since 2006 local
industry associations have been pleading for an anti-dumping legislation on

The Waste
SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE
Fy 10 was a
landmark year for Apollo Tyres' India Operations which achieved a new benchmark
by registering a sales turnover to the tune of Rs 50,3 billion, boosted by
robust demand in both commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle segments. The
company recorded a healthy growth of about 24% in overall sales value over FY09.
Category wise this translates to a growth of 16% in heavy commercial vehicles,
26% >r> passenger car, 18% in light commercial vehicles in volume terms,
while maintaining sales volumes in tractor rear tyres.
There were two new
additions to the passenger vehicle bouquet - Amazer 3G and Amazer 3G Maxx - a
new range of tubeless radials in the budget segment, which is growing rapidly.
These tyres offer a host of benefits like longer life, extra grip and reduced
rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency.
In the commercial
vehicle tyre segment, Apollo was able to maintain its market share and
leadership in the critical truck-bus segment. The goal is to further strengthen
leadership in the cross ply segment, while leading the radialisation of
commercial vehicle tyres in
In
FY10 would
probably rank amongst one of the worst years for the South African tyre industry.
This coupled with the introduction of the National Credit Act in 2006 in
Apollo Tyres
The highest
growth, over last year, was observed in the passenger car segment which saw as
much as 10% growth in volumes whilst the total growth was around 6.3%. This
can be largely attributed to the effective after sales service provided by the
company and the change in brand perception post the rebranding of Dunlop Zones.
An astute marketing strategy also translated into cultivation of trust within
large truck-bus customers, who satisfied with the prompt and efficient after
sales service, repeated purchases.
The highest
revenue came from the passenger car tyres category, followed by the truck-bus
segment.
OUTLOOK
Across Apollo's
three domestic markets, the outlook largely looks positive.
Backed by a rising
demand, India Operations hopes to better its landmark performance of FY10. With
the Chennai facility commencing production, some supplyend concerns would
finally be laid to rest.
The biggest
challenge comes from rising raw material costs, especially natural rubber and
crude, and the inverted duty structure. Price hikes are an option, but are
definitely not a solution. Passing on high production costs may not always be
possible in a market where the largest revenue base - the commercial vehicle
segment – is neither cash-rich, nor has proper access to credit. However, with
continuous improvement in internal efficiencies and cost-competitive
production,
Apollo Vredestein
BV had a good run mainly because the European passenger car tyre replacement
market was not affected in the recession, while an extreme winter season
actually helped sales of the season's tyres. Going forward, the sales are
expected to improve further.
For Europe
Operations too, fast increasing raw material prices are an area of concern and
could force tyre manufacturers to undertake a price hike. On an average, the
tyre sell out prices in
South Africa Operations
is riding on a number of initiatives which revolve around brand promotion and
product improvements in the truck-bus
category which have led to record sales, investments in manufacturing units to
expand capacities across product lines, including passenger car, light truck,
truck-bus radial tyres, exploring export destinations in other African and
South American countries.
A key change going
forward would be in the area of human resources, in compliance with local laws
of equity at the workplace. Apollo Tyres
In adherence to
the Waste Tyre Regulation, Apollo Tyres South Africa, a key contributor to the Regulation,
will be
required to submit
monthly sales data to external accountants for the purpose of determining the
monthly Green Fee charge, and recovering this cost by way of invoicing to
domestic customers. This is expected to provide a relatively permanent solution
to the tyre disposal issue.
In view of the
above, the South African Operations too appear to be on the right track with
potential for considerable growth in the years to come.
OPERATIONS
During the
financial year ended March 31, 2010, the Company has scaled new heights and set
benchmarks in terms of sales and profitability. The Net Sales of India
Operations increased from Rs 40,704 millions during the previous year to
Rs.50,366 millions in the year, registering a growth of 23.7%.
Operating Profit,
before interest and depreciation, amounted to Rs 7,950 millions as against Rs
3,360 millions during the previous year. Net Profit, after providing for
interest, depreciation and tax amounted to Rs 4,150 millions as against
Rs.1,081 millions during the previous year, registering an increase of 284%.
The amount
available for appropriations, including surplus from previous year amounted to
Rs 7,395 millions. Surplus of Rs 5,892 millions has been carried forward to the
Balance Sheet after providing for Dividend of Rs 378 millions, Dividend Tax of
Rs 63 millions, Debenture Redemption Reserve worth Rs 62 millions and General
Reserve of Rs 1,000 millions.
The consolidated
figures of sales from operations in India, South Africa and Europe (post the
recent acquisition of Apollo Vredestein
BV based out of the Netherlands), amounted to Rs 81,207 millions and Net
Profit, after providing for interest, depreciation and tax amounted to Rs 6,534
millions record ing a growth of63%insalesand369%in Net Profit respectively.
On a consolidated
level, the break up of revenues across the three geographies is as follows:
The Company has
recorded commendable growth during the year. Consistency across operations has
strengthened Apollo's position as a leading global tyre manufacturing
organisation headquartered in
PRODUCTION
During the year,
the Company has achieved 19.4 % growth in production tonnage by registering
production of 326,739 MT as against 273,575 MT in the previous year.
BUY BACK OF SHARES
The Board of
Directors at the meeting held on March 19, 2009 had approved buy back of equity
shares at a price not exceeding Rs 25 per share upto an amount not exceeding Rs
1220 millions, representing approximately 10% of the Company's paid up equity
share capital and free reserves as per last audited accounts.
The Company could
not buy back any shares because of the run-up in the market price of the Company's
shares immediately after the commencement of buy back beyond Rs 25 per share
i.e. maximum price fixed for buy back. Therefore, the Company closed its
buy-back offer on the due date for the closure i.e. March 18, 2010.
RAW MATERIALS
Natural Rubber
continued its upward trend during the year as the prices moved from a level of
Rs.100/kg in June, 2009 to Rs.140/kg in December, 2009. It recorded a new peak
of around Rs.150/kg in March, 2010. The demand and supply gap in the
Crude oil remained
steady in the band of US$ 70-80/barrel but crude-based raw materials, like
synthetic rubber, carbon black, and nylon tyre cord fabric, remained firm due
to adverse demand-supply gap caused by plant shutdowns in highcost countries
and revival of demand from emerging economies.
The anti-dumping
duty continued on nylon tyre cord fabric and rubber chemicals while during the
year, anti-dumping duty was imposed on carbon black imported from
DOMESTIC MARKETING
The year has been
a record year for the Company with the demand increasing in both the commercial
vehicle and passenger vehicle tyre categories. India Operations achieved a new
benchmark in sales turnover at Rs 50 billion. During the year, the company
recorded a very healthy growth of 23.7% in overall sales value over the
previous year. Seen category wise this translates to a number growth of 16% in
heavy commercial vehicles, 26% in passenger car radials, 18% in light
commercial vehicles, and maintaining sales volumes in tractor rear.
The triumvirate of
their marketing strategy, namely, Product Leadership, Customer Intimacy, and
Operations Excellence, were pursued even more vigorously to create better
differentiators in the market and gain consumer preference and market share.
In the realm of
passenger vehicle tyres, the year was witness to the launch of a new range of
tubeless radials in the economy segment with the introduction of Amazer 36 and
Amazer 3G Maxx. A new advertising and communication campaign was released on
television with the central creative thought on Apollo tubeless radials The
Road is a Friend.'
Branded tyre
outlets 'Apollo Zones' are also extending their footprint across major cities
in the country and being very well received by their business partners who are
coming forward to participate under this programme. The Zones, which display
Apollo's high-performance, technology-driven tyres and alloy wheels in a
friendly and interactive fashion, are aimed at capturing the customers' share
of mind and heart. Their unique appeal lies in the visual dispaly, an in-store
experience which promises comfort, convenience and best-in-class service.
In the area of
commercial vehicles tyres, the Company was able to gain market share and
further consolidate its
leadership
position in truck-bus tyres. their priority is to maintain the dominant
leadership position in cross ply tyres, whilst leading radialisation in
Truly 2009-10 has
concluded on a resounding note for the Company and the spirit remains
unstoppable as ever.
EXPORTS
The demand outlook
in international markets saw a revival at the start of year 2009-10, from the
lows of the previous year's closing. The severe dip in all-around demand had
put considerable strain in despatches out of
Exports of
passenger car radial tyres continued to be the highest amongst the Indian tyre
producers. The exports of truck and bus tyres were better than the previous
year, though enhanced focus on exploiting surging demand in the domestic market
led to controlled despatches for exports.
On the marketing
front, efforts were made for enhancing brand Apollo, across geographies, by
conducting successful programmes like Apollo Vista,

strife in establishing itself as a tyre manufacturer within the closed Indian

PRESS RELEASE:
APOLLO TYRES
FIGHTS ADVERSE CONDITIONS
Continues revenue
growth story, profits impacted by rubber cost push
The Board of
Directors of Apollo Tyres Limited approved the company’s unaudited financial
results for the 2nd quarter and the first 6 months of the financial year
2010-11. Of particular concern to the Board is the spiraling prices of natural
rubber to current all-time highs, which have sharply impacted the Indian
Operations. The Board appreciated the efforts of the management and employees
in maintaining the overall growth trend, overcoming the difficulties of a
lock-out in one plant in
Half Yearly

37.7 billion (Rs 37700 millions) from Rs 36.8 billion (Rs 36810 millions)

millions)
• Net profit at Rs
1.2 billion (Rs 1270 millions) from Rs 2 billion (Rs 2030 millions) the
previous year
Quarterly
Performance Highlights
Quarter 2
FY2010-11 (July-September) vs Quarter 2 FY2009-10
• Net sales at Rs 19.5
billion (Rs 19490 millions) from Rs 20 billion (Rs 20460 millions)
• Operating profit
at Rs 1.86 billion (Rs 1860 millions) from nearly Rs 2.9 billion (Rs 2900
millions)
• Net profit at Rs
532 million (Rs 530 millions) from Rs 1.3 billion (Rs 1290 millions) in the
previous year
Commenting on the
results, Onkar S Kanwar, Chairman,
Apollo Tyres Limited, said, “It’s been a very difficult 6 months
managing the unprecedented rise in natural rubber prices. Unfortunately even
when international natural rubber prices were significantly lower than Indian
prices, we were unable to import in large quantities due to the duty policy of
the government. We have had no option but to pass on price increases to our
customers, though it is impossible to pass on a near 50% increase in the course
of one year. Natural rubber constitutes 60% of our raw material costs, and if I
look at the November to November period, natural rubber was at Rs 76/kg in
November 2008, Rs 113 in November 2009 (a 14% rise) and is at Rs 192 now –- an
increase of nearly 70% in a single year and 150% in 2 years! This has affected
all aspects of our operation.” Chairman
Onkar Kanwar added: “I do hope the Government will look at some measure
to check speculation, as well as bring down the unreal duty structure we have.
With no action over so many years, despite understanding the plight of the
Indian tyre industry, even an optimistic person like me is forced to consider
greater investments outside India, rather than at home.”
