LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONS

 

At Subject, they recognize operations as an important source of competitive advantage. A strong back-end support in Procurement, Manufacturing, Research and Development and Human Resource Management has been key to subject’s sturdy performance through the 2010-11 fiscal. A large number of initiatives was rolled out by the Company to improve productivity through effective application of technology and advancement in manufacturing processes, besides adoption of lower cost energy options.

 


FINANCIAL REVIEW (ON A CONSOLIDATED BASIS)

 

During 2010-11 fiscal, the Consolidated sales of the Company increased by 20.3%, primarily driven by volume growth of 12.7% and acquisitions contributing to 5.1% of growth. While sales growth remained strong the Company faced headwinds with respect to inflation and cost pressures. The Company dealt with these challenges and was able to maintain its margins in a highly inflationary environment through calibrated price increases and efficient management of costs.

 

EBITDA margin of the Company was stable at 19.9% vis-ŕ-vis 19.8% in FY2009-10. The increase in rate of

Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) led to the effective tax rate increasing from 16.7% to 19.6%.

 

The Profit After Tax of the Company increased by 13.4% during 2010-11 with the Profit After Tax (PAT) margin going down slightly mainly on account of increased taxation.

 

AMALGAMATION OF FEM CARE PHARMA LTD WITH THE COMPANY

 

During the year, amalgamation of Fem Care Pharma Limited (FEM) with the Company was completed on 18th June, 2010 (being effective date) upon filing of the Order of Hon’ble Delhi and Mumbai High Courts with the respective offices of Registrar of Companies. The appointed date of merger was 1st April, 2009.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Nevertheless, economic growth in the industrialized nations was below average compared with the performance seen after previous economic slumps, with only Asia, particularly India and China seeing above average momentum. The year FY 2010-11 faced headwinds such as the Euro-zone debt crisis, political upheaval in Middle East and the twin catastrophes of earthquakes and tsunami striking Japan.

 

The Indian economy continues to be on a strong growth trajectory with CSO (Central Statistics Office) estimating a growth of 8.6% in real GDP for the 2010-11 fiscal as compared to a 8.0% growth for 2009-10 fiscal. The agriculture, forestry and fishing sector witnessed a surge in fiscal 2010-11, with CSO estimating growth of 5.4% as compared to 0.4% for fiscal 2009-10. The manufacturing sector continued to post good growth with CSO estimates at 8.8% for both fiscal 2009-10 and 2010-11. The services sector was the out performer with CSO estimating growth at 9.6% for fiscal 2010-11 although this was slightly less than 10.1% for fiscal 2009-10.

 

Per capita income in real terms (at 2004-05 prices) during fiscal 2010-11 witnessed an uptick, growing by 6.7% in fiscal 2010-11 as compared to 6.1% in fiscal 2009-10.

 

Indian economy is vitally linked with the monsoon because of its large agricultural sector and huge requirement of water resources. A large part of the country gets more than 75% of the annual rainfall during the four months, June to September (Monsoon season). The production of food-grains has a high correlation with the amount and

distribution of monsoon rainfall over the country. Further, the generation of hydro-electric power from monsoon rain water is a clean energy source. The 2010-11 fiscal witnessed more than its fair share of rainfall, which was at 102% of the long term average for the season as compared to deficient monsoons last year. This augured well for foodgrains’ production, which increased by 8.2% to 235.9 million tonnes in 2010-11 from Although GDP growth remained strong, high levels of inflation throughout the year played spoilsport, oscillating within a band of 11% to 8%. This led to several rounds of interest rate hikes by the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) to curb inflation and prevent overheating of the economy. In addition, inflation in food articles touched peak of 20-21% during the months of May-June 2010 and continued to remain in double digits throughout the year.

 

All round high inflation in commodities and manufactured products led to significant increase in input costs across the sectors. In addition, crude prices moved up, which also had an impact on transportation costs, hydro carbon linked inputs and packaging costs. Overall, FY 2010-11 was a very challenging year in terms of input cost inflation and managing material costs.

 

FMCG SECTOR IN INDIA

 

Steady growth in the Indian economy is being driven by strong domestic consumption, economic reforms, private

entrepreneurship and global linkages.

 

Domestic consumption is on the rise due to increasing disposable incomes, growing employment opportunities and favourable demographics, such as young population (median age of 26 years), growing middle class and changes in consumption and life style. As per a recent study conducted by Booz and Company, FMCG sector is

expected to grow in the range of 12% to 17% upto 2020 and would touch a market size between of 4,000 to 6,200 billion i.e. US$ 90 billion to US$ 138 billion. Current market size is estimated at 1,463 billion i.e. US$33 billion

 

The billion plus Indian population, with 50% of population below 25 years and 65% below 35 years of age, offers substantial opportunity going ahead. Robust economic growth would translate into higher per capita incomes, which are expected to increase by around 3 times to $3,231 by 2020 from $1,017 in 2009. In addition, evolution in consumption patterns in rural India augur well for sustained growth in FMCG sector.

 

The following factors are driving consumption in both rural and urban markets:

 

·         Upgradation of consumption from unorganized to organized and from unbranded to branded products

 

·         Increasing per capita consumption, which is relatively very low as compared to some of the other emerging markets

 

·         Improving penetration of consumer products, resulting in increased usage across population strata

 

·         Change in consumption habits with consumers moving up the ladder and demanding products suiting their needs and evolving lifestyle

 

The urban theme would be played by rising share of nuclear households, increasing proportion of women in working population, growing size of the Indian middle class and changes in lifestyle and consumption patterns.

 

India’s growing middle class is another important factor driving economic growth and consumption. Indian middle class, which constituted 5% of total population in 2007, is expected to grow to more than 40% of the population, increasing ten times from 50 million to 583 million by 2025 (The ‘Bird of Gold’ : the Rise of India’s Consumer Market by Mckinsey Global Institute).

 

In fact, the growth of the Indian middle class and economic growth are inter dependant as shown in this circle : rising incomes leading to higher consumption levels, which in turn drive robust economic growth, translating into more employment opportunities and subsequently higher wages.

 

The modern trade channel is another factor contributing to growth of the FMCG industry as it is driving consumption by providing convenience, visibility, better shopping experience and variety. This is also an important channel for marketers to have direct consumer interaction and interface. Modern trade is growing at a fast clip and is expected to increase its share of revenues as it expands.

 

On the rural side, there has been visible evolution in rural consumption patterns, with increasing demand for quality and branded goods, though pricing and affordability continues to remain an important parameter. Increasing consumption is being witnessed in categories such as soaps, shampoos, oral care and laundry. Greater media penetration in rural areas is also acting as a key influencer on lifestyle and consumption patterns.

The very attractiveness of the Indian FMCG market is leading to aggressive competition among the key players. Fiscal 2010-11 saw a wave of disruptive competition happening in a few categories of the sector, with significant increase in advertising and promotional spends and attempts to win over consumers by offering greater value for every rupee spent.

 

For the 2010-11 fiscal, Indian FMCG sector continued on a strong growth trajectory, with the Non-Food and OTC segment of the industry growing by 15% (AC Nielsen MAT Mar 2011), driven by opening up of rural markets,

increased income in rural areas, growing urbanization, along with evolving consumer lifestyles and buying behaviour.

 

An increasingly tougher input costs environment led to price increases across categories by various FMCG players. Last year, a benign input cost environment had resulted in expansion in gross margins, which in turn led to various players increasing their advertisement and promotional spends. During fiscal 2010-11, the input costs spiraled while the advertisement and promotional spends did not witness any significant decline due to heightened competitive activity, and this put pressure on margins. At Subject, they managed inflation in the commodity basket by effecting calibrated price increases, strategic stocking and prudent buying. On account of these, they managed to protect the margins and reported strong growth of 21% in the operating profits.
