MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Economic Overview

The Global Economy

Contrary to fears that prevailed in the beginning of the year, the global economy recovered reasonably well by the

end of 2009, though at widely differing rates of growth across regions. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that the global output will grow by four and a quarter percent in 2010 - this after a contraction of half a

percent in 2009. Massive infusion of funds by governments across the world - including special funding for the US

auto industry - staved off a deeper recession.

 

In Q1 of 2009, the US economy numbers showed a de-growth of 6.4% on a deseasonalised, sequential annualised basis. The figures for the next three quarters, however, showed sharp improvement: (-) 0.7% in Q2, followed by 2.2% and 5.6% growth in the second half of the year. Though lower in Q1 2009, growth is pegged at 3.2% and, after three consecutive quarters of a positive uptick, it may not be rash to state that the US economy is turning around.

 

The US car industry is still coming out of one of the worst times in decades. Overall sales of cars and trucks, which were hovering around the 17 million mark in 2006, fell to a total of around 13.4 million in 2008 and an even lower 10.6 million in 2009 (Chart A). About 690,000 of those sales in 2009 were made thanks to the 'cash for clunkers' program paid for with federal dollars, where the US government gave consumers subsidies to switch from older, fuel inefficient cars to new, smaller and more fuel efficient models. Two of the auto giants - GM and Chrysler - filed for bankruptcy, while a large number of dealerships, suppliers, parts manufacturers and other auto-related businesses also failed.

 

The Euro zone is a study in contrasts. While France and Germany are doing reasonably well, Greece (and possibly Portugal and Spain) have economies and budget deficits that give rise to grave concern. The European Union, along with the IMF, have launched an assistance programme for Greece that totals €750 billion; however, if Portugal, or indeed Spain, follows the same path that Greece has, the Euro may come under severe pressure.

 

Asian economies, boosted by stronger domestic demand and a more cautious approach to monetary and fiscal

policies in the past, have suffered less during the recession era; consequently, their 'bounce back' has been faster. China grew at 8.7% in 2009 - this in a year when most economies in the world would have been happy to be at zero growth; this year the Chinese economy is expected to grow in double digits - the Q1 2009 results reflect 11.9% growth. The other major Asian economies, with Japan being a notable exception, are projected to grow between 4.7% and 6.0%.

 

India

 

According to the latest published numbers, India's GDP growth for 2009-10 is estimated at 7.4% (Chart B). What is even more encouraging is that industrial production has been improving quarter on quarter; the March, 2010 Index of Industrial Production (IIP) registered an increase of 13.5%; this is the sixth consecutive month of increases. The manufacturing sector recorded 14.3% growth in Q3 2009-10 (the highest in eleven quarters), while the construction sector has grown by 8.7%. As a consequence, the overall IIP figure of 2009-10 has reached 10.4%. This rising demand in for manufactured goods (including automobiles) and the construction segment are

encouraging signs for Asahi India Glass Limited ('AIS' or 'the Company).

 

There has been some increase in exports; however, the rupee strengthening against the major currencies - especially the Euro, is causing concern to exporters. This is especially true where Indian exports are being pitted

against the Chinese, who had, until recently, kept their currency undervalued.

 

Inflation remains a worrisome factor. Both wholesale prices and consumer prices have been rising steadily over the past few months.

 

AIS: Financial Performance

 

2009-10 was a year that gave rise to cautious optimism in AIS. The Company's topline increased by 5.6%; more

importantly, the operating efficiency measures that had been put in place from 2007-08 onwards started showing

in the middle line, thus reflecting the success of the 'Look Within' initiatives.

 

The summarised financial highlights of AIS as astand-alone entity for 2009-10 are given below :

 

  • Gross sales increased by 5.6% to Rs. 14297.100 Millions (Rs. 13539.800 Millions in 2008-09).
  • Net sales grew 3.65%: from Rs. 12182.100 Millions in 2008-09 to Rs. 12627.300 Millions in 2009-10.
  • Material Costs increased by 6.6% over last year to reach Rs. 3836.800 Millions. On the other hand, Power and Fuel Costs reduced by 8.2% from Rs. 2823.800 Millions in 2008-09 to Rs. 2593.300 Millions. Power is a significant input for glass manufacture and, to all intents and purposes, is a 'quasi' material cost. If both figures (i.e. Material Costs and Power and Fuel) are to be aggregated, the total material costs as a percentage to net sales has reduced from 52.74% to 50.92%, thus reflecting the effectiveness of the Company's cost and efficiency optimising measures.
  • Operating Cash Profit was Rs. 145.800 Millions in 2008-09; it has reached Rs. 1137.500 Millions in 2009-10. In addition to the benefits that AIS has gained through its operating efficiencies and greater value margins in sales, this figure for 2009-10 has been boosted by increases in Other Operating Income (Rs. 249.800 Millions in 2009-10 vs. Rs. 95.100 Millions in 2008-09) and Other Income (Rs. 88.700 Millions in 2009-10 vs. Rs 20.300 Millions in 2008-09).
  • Profit after tax for 2009-10 was Rs. 12.300 Millions, compared to a loss of Rs. 406.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

 

AIS AUTO GLASS

 

AIS Auto Glass is India's pre-eminent supplier of automotive glass. It has a dominant share of business among all automotive manufacturers in India, whether of Indian or global origin. During 2009-10, AIS Auto Glass continued its splendid performance in terms of delivery of quality products to its customers and maintained its position as a premium supplier of automotive glass to almost the entire Indian automotive industry.

 

Performance

 

AIS Auto Glass produces a wide range of glass fitments for a vehicle. The basic products are laminated (front) windscreens, tempered window glasses (sidelites) and the back glass (backlite). In addition to supplying these products to automotive manufacturers as original equipment (OE) components, AIS Auto Glass also sells its products in the fast growing after-sales service market (AFM market). Table 1 represents the share of business that AIS Auto Glass commands in the Indian market among various segments.

  

Operations

 

AIS Auto Glass has three production facilities. Two are located in North India at Bawal (Haryana) and Roorkee (Uttarakhand); the third unit is located in the south at Chennai (Tamil Nadu). AIS Auto glass also operates three sub assemblies cum warehouses at Bangalore (Karnataka), Halol (Gujarat) and Pune (Maharashtra). All these facilities are strategically located close to the key automotive companies to ensure seamless service to customers. Production and other activities at each of the above facilities have been smooth during the previous year.

 

During the year, AIS Auto Glass continued to make the incremental investments that were needed to expand capacities, keeping in view the burgeoning demands from its customers. All investments were carefully analysed to ensure achieving customer satisfaction, 'on time and in full delivery', without negatively impacting the SBU's cash flow.

 

The project work of AIS Auto Glass at the Toyota Suppliers Park' near Bangalore (Karnataka) has been progressing smoothly and the facility is expected to commence operations by August, 2010.

 

AIS Auto Glass has been recognised by its customers for its quality, service capabilities, on time delivery and overall positive supplier experience many times in the past.

 

Future Outlook

 

As India's growth momentum accelerates, the demand for automobiles is expected to increase as well - in fact, at an even faster pace. Since 2000, the Indian auto component industry has growing steadily; the past few months indicate that the growth trajectory is now moving much faster and sharper. From being a supplier to Indian auto manufacturers, the industry has been transforming itself into becoming a viable option for global sourcing for automobile majors across the world. Simultaneously, the automobile industry in India, fuelled by economic growth, more nuclear families, greater disposable income and easier consumer credit facilities, has been growing rapidly and is expected to continue on its growth path.

 

The entry of global auto companies in India, and their intention to make India as their global manufacturing and supply base also portends well for the growth of the automobile industry. Also, in order to be cost competitive in a value conscious Indian market, global automotive majors are increasingly indigenising their components, without sacrificing quality. This has created a strong 'manufacturer - supplier' partnership, where each helps the other to the benefit of both, as well as the end consumer. Auto component manufacturers are gaining perspectives on global best manufacturing practices, economies of scale and a competitive quality edge. With growth in infrastructure being an area of prime focus in the Eleventh Five Year Plan, road development will have to increase; and with it, a growth in automobile demand.

 

AIS Auto Glass is well positioned to exploit this growth opportunity with its inherent proven advantages. The Company's engineering skills and deep knowledge of the automotive glass sector helps it in partnering with its customers for new model developments; not only are these developed better, the turnaround time is also shorter. Its passion for quality ensures the least amount of rejections and on time delivery ensures the continuity of the customer's production line. AIS Auto Glass has forged its relationships with its customers over twenty three years

of partnership, collaboration and trust. The pre-eminence of AIS Auto Glass as the 'partner of choice' for all automobile majors in India stands unquestioned. AIS Auto Glass will continue to grow on these inherent strengths to deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction in the years to come.

 

 

AIS FLOAT GLASS

 

Performance

 

During 2009-10, sales of the Float SBU were at Rs. 4725.500 Million (Rs. 5890.900 Millions in 2008-09). The drop in topline reflects a conscious strategy of AIS Float Glass to shift from being a supplier of low value, high volume plain glass towards a provider of higher value-added products and solutions that offer better margins.

 

During the year, AIS Float Glass introduced the following new variants and colours of its product range in the market.

 

  • AIS Opal™ (Solar Control Glasses) - Royal Blue and Cool Green;
  • AIS Tinted Royal Blue and Tinted Cool Green;
  • AIS Supersilver™ (Heat Reflective Glasses) Fern Green and Pacific Blue.

The market response to these new offerings has been encouraging.

 

Operations

 

AIS Float Glass continued to operate during the year from its plants at Taloja and Roorkee. Oprations were   mooth and regular. During the last few years, AIS has increased its focus on value-added products. During the previous year, AIS Float Glass made considerable head way in sales of its value-added glass products; the SBU is now reaching a state where value-added glass comprises a substantial part of its product portfolio and sales basket.

 

Power and fuel are major inputs in the manufacture of float glass; hence, reduction of power and fuel cots per unit of output is a profitability determinant. During the year, AIS Float's Taloja plant successfully implemented and stabilised its operations after switching over to natural gas as its primary fuel source. This substitution of natural gas in the place of furnace oil has resulted in substantial savings, without impacting the quality of output; it has also ensured stability of fuel source supply and prices.

 

AIS Float Glass continued to expand its reach in the market by appointing several more dealers across India. It also continued to organise various meets, events and other sales promotional activities throughout the year.

 

Future Outlook

 

Although glass is a commodity know to mankind since 3,000 years, it is always on the cutting edge of innovation and subject to an array of new and diverse uses. The float glass industry is poised for increasing competition with the new entrants. The key differentiator shall remain the product mix of high value-added products. AIS Float Glass is constantly increasing its product portfolio and offering value-added, customer oriented products.

 

Glass has myriad uses and it is being used more and more innovatively, especially in the realty and construction sector. This is especially true with the Energy Conservation and Building Code (ECBC) norms coming into effect for buildings that have a floor area of 10,000 square feet or greater. ECBC norms stipulate that a minimum level of energy efficiency standards have to be maintained, including thermal performance requirements for walls, roofs, and windows. Glass is an itegral part of the green movement and address a host of issues raised under the

ECBC. These norms have created a new set of opportunities and a new market segment for AIS as a value-added glass solutions provider; together with the architect and the builders, AIS continues to create glass solutions that are used for green and energy efficient buildings.

 

It is also important for glass manufacturers to sensitise the end customer about the most appropriate glass solution that offers maximum value addition at the right price. This creation of customer awareness is something that AIS Float Glass takes seriously; the SBU is active in educating consumers about the usage of the correct variety of glass best suited for a given purpose.

 

With the growth in manufacturing, construction and retail coming back on track, the demand for glass, especially value-added glass products and solutions is expected to grow. AIS Float Glass is continuously looking at opportunities to create such value addition in the market with its end customers. In the near future, it is expected that the product shift to value added glass products will bear fruit in terms of both increased sales and improved profitability.

 

 

AIS GLASS SOLUTIONS

 

Performance and Operations

 

During 2009-10, AIS Glass Solutions continued to operate smoothly from its 3 architectural glass processing plants located at Roorkee- Uttarakhand (North India), Taloja - Maharashtra (West India) and Chennai-Tamil Nadu (South India) and several marketing offices across India.

 

Future Outlook

 

With all the necessary infrastructure and capacities in place, and after having won its customer confidence and appreciation, it is now time for AIS Glass Solutions to de-bottle some of the manufacturing inefficiencies and focus more on timely delivery to the customer. 2009-10 promises to be an upbeat year for the architectural glass processing industry and with its inherent strengths, AIS Glass Solutions is poised to significantly increase its market share.

 

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

The performance of the Company during 2009-10 was well on the projected recovery track. The strong macro environment, especially the huge upsurge of demand in the automotive sector, has further helped your Company to gather stronger momentum. Further the 'Look Within' initiatives of the management also resulted in generating greater operating efficiencies.
