OPERATIONS 

 

During the  year  2009-10,  the Company has achieved all round improvement in the operations as a result of higher  volumes  following robust demand across all the  product  segments, lower energy cost as result of availability of gas for powergeneration  and favourable exchange rate.
 
During  the  year the Company implemented the Scheme of  de-merger  of  its Branded  and  Retail  businesses in to 2  separate  wholly  owned  subsidiary companies; Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited (ALBL) and Arvind Retail Limited (ARL) respectively. Hence the results for the year 2009-10 are not strictly comparable with the previous year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS: 

 

OVERVIEW: 

 

Although  volatile  and uneven, the Indian economy  recovered  in  2009-10. Specifically the latter half of 2009-10 saw a significant improvement  with the  positive turnaround of the industrial and external trade  segments  of 
the Indian economy. On the back of this, the Indian textile industry  which was  hit  hard by the global financial recession is also set to  witness  a recovery in 2010.
 
Currently  the  Indian textile and apparel market is US$62 billion  out  of which  US$ 22 billion is contributed by exports and the rest US$40  billion is  by  the  domestic market. According to  the  textile  ministry,  Indian textile market is expected to reach US$115 billion by 2012. In this span of three  years, the domestic market is expected to reach US$ 60  billion  and India's share of global textile exports is expected to increase from 4%  to 7%.
 
The  key  drivers of growth for this industry will be the  rise  in  export demand  and  improved liquidity conditions which will ensure  a  stable  to growing domestic demand for textile products. The downside risk arises from the  volatility  in the global markets which threatens  the  exchange  rate stability  and the building inflationary pressures in the domestic  economy which  might adversely impact the textile industry. The cotton prices  also remain  the cause of concern. Moreover although the demand fundamentals  re main  strong,  spending  by consumers may remain value  driven  leading  to pressure on margins.

 

 

Subsidiaries:

 

Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited and Arvind Retail Limited:
 
As mentioned earlier during the year the Company implemented the Scheme  of de-merger of its Branded and Retail businesses in to 2 separate wholly  owned subsidiary  companies;  Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited (ALBL)  and  Arvind Retail Limited (ARL) respectively.
 
Arvind Lifestyle Brands Limited.
 
The Branded Apparel business registered another good year with sales of Rs. 2530.000 millions and a growth of 35% in a year when market conditions were  still grappling with the after effects of a global economic crisis.
 
Arrow  continued  it market dominance in premium segment  and  was  rightly showered  with recognition round the year. Arrow won the Best Iconic  Brand award from Pantaloon, one of the leading retail chain; it was also  awarded the 'Superbrands' status by Super brands Council of India-an award based on consumer preferences and expert opinion. Arrow has also enhanced its target market by including Sportswear and Women's wear categories.
 
During  the year the Company successfully launched and positioned  US  Polo Association  brand in departmental stores which dominated the  market  from day 1 of its introduction. As a testimony to its success USPA won the  best 'Debutant Iconic brand award' from the Pantaloon group.
 
Yet  another  addition  to  the array of premium  brands,  brand  IZOD  was launched in March 2010.
 
Flying  Machine continued to excite the Indian youth with  fashion  designs and be among the top 5 denim brands in India.
 
Arvind Retail Limited.
 
The retail business had another good year with sales of Rs.3020.000 millions and a growth of 33%.
 
Mega-Mart made rapid progress in the current year to emerge as the  leading Value Retail player in the country. Currently Mega-Mart is operating with a retail  space of 4.5. lakh sq.ft. with 120 small format stores and 4  large format stores. The focus on improvement of operational efficiency  resulted in the large format business becoming profitable.
 
Mega-Mart  will  continue  to aggressively expand in  next  year  with  the addition of both small format and large format stores.

 

 

Arvind Products Limited

 

Backed  by  improved  performance of Khaki Business,  the  Arvind  Products Limited registered revenue growth of 23% and operating profit grew by  27%. This  has  been  best ever performance in the recent  times.  Due  to high depreciation  charge,  the  PBT was negative. The  deferred  tax  liability provided  earlier, was required to be written back resulting in Net  Profit of Rs. 40 Millions.

 

 

Anup Engineering Limited

 

Anup Engineering Limited is engaged in engineering and fabrication business listed  on Ahmedabad Stock Exchange. The Company's revenue grew by 13%  and operating profits grew by 27% and Profit after tax grew by 22%.

 

Outlook

 

On  backdrop  of resurgence in demand from US and European  markets,  growing domestic market, favourable exchange rate, lower energy cost and  expansion in  capacities  in  both  Denim fabric  and  cotton  woven  fabric  through outsourcing  route, the company expects growth in both, revenue as well  as operating margins in next year. The Company's plan for unlocking the  value from  its  surplus land is progressing well. The Company  is  expecting  to realize  about Rs. 750.000 millions by way of sale of land in year  2010-11  which will  lead to reduction in long term borrowing and consequent reduction  in interest and finance cost.
 
With the fresh tremors in the European markets, any forecast is subject  to unplanned surprises. Further both exchange rates and cotton prices, key profit drivers  for  the  Company continue to be volatile and  thereby  making  it difficult to predict its impact on the business.
 
With  200  Million meters of capacity, the Company is one  of  the  largest players   in   the  world.  Through  product   differentiation   and   Cost competitiveness  the  Company  has been able to service some  of  the  best 
customers in the world. In the recent past, the Company has re-entered  the domestic  retail market segment by expanding its distribution and  offering unique  functional fabrics to the consumer at affordable prices. While  its fabrics and garments business will continue to grow by 10%-12% in next  3-5 years, the major growth driver would be brands and retail business. Further Company  is entering the segment of Technical Textile/Advance Material  and which is expected to contribute significantly to the revenue of the Company in next 3-5 years. The cash realized by unlocking the value of surplus land will go to reduce the long-term debt over and above the normal  repayments, which will reduce the financial leverage and also help in improving ROCE.

PROFILE

The Subject was set up with the pioneering effort of the Lalbhai brothers in 1931. With the best of technology business acumen, Arvind has become a true Indian multinational, having chosen to invest strategically, where demhas been high quality required has been superlative. Today, The Subject is the flagship company of Rs.20 billion (US$ 500 million) Lalbhai Group.

Subject has set the pace for changing global customer demands for textiles has focused its attention on select core products. Such a focus has enabled the company to play a dominant role in the global textile arena. With its presence across the textile value chain, the company endeavors to be a one-stop shop for leading garment brands.

Forevision Technology has brought Arvind to be one of the top three producers of Denim in the world, on its way becoming the Global Textile Conglomerate. Arvind is already making its presence felt in Shirting’s, Knits Khakhis fabrics apart from being all set to create ripples in the ready to wear garments world over.

 

The Lalbhais –A Historical Perspective

 

The Lalbhais can trace their descent from Seth Shantidas (c.1590-1659), who was a dominant figure in the business and civic life of the city.   He enjoyed the patronage of the Moghul emperors to whom he was a trusted jeweler. Shantidas was amongst the prominent financers of his time as well. He played an influential role amongst the Jain community of his time, and it was because of his influence at the Moghul court that Shah Jehan confirmed the rights of the Jains over the ancient shrines  of Shetrunjaya. His grandson, Khushalchand, (1680-1748) too occupied a place of prominence in the business and social life of the city. He  saved the city of Ahmedabad from the marauding Maratha army in 1725 by paying a ransom of Rs. 0.500 Million on behalf of the whole city. For this act the grateful “mahajans”  promised in perpetuity, a small amount collected as town duties on goods entering the city to Khushalchand and his family, and the title of Nagarsheth was bestowed upon him .

 

The current surname, Lalbhai, is derived from Lalbhai Dalpatbhai the great great great grandson of Khushalchand. Lalbhai was born around the time when the first textile factory in the city went into production. The first manufacturing company of the Lalbhai family, Saraspur Manufacturing Company was established in 1897. It started with producing cotton yarn. During the intensifying Swadeshi movement the second company Raipur Mills was established in 1905. Due to untimely death Lalbhai Dalpatbhai the reins of his businesses were handed over to his young sons including a seventeen year old Kasturbhai Lalbhai. Kasturbhai started the first large scale textile mill under the name of Asoka Mills in 1920 with a capital of Rs.1.200 Millions at a time when the largest mills in the region were built with not more than Rs. 0.500 Million.  1930-31 saw the resurgence of second Swadeshi movement coinciding with the great depression. While different entrepreneurs reacted to the situation differently Kasturbhai saw this as the decade of prosperity and growth and established the flagship Arvind Limited in 1931 with an authorized capital of Rs. 2.525 Millions. Kasturbhai had also floated mills for families of his three sisters under the name of Aruna Mills in 1928 and Nutan Mills in 1931 and Ahmedabad New Cotton Mills in 1938.

 

 

With the expansion Kasturbhai came to occupy the position of the biggest textile magnate in the country. Few groups could claim to have made such great strides during one of the worst periods in India’s industrial history.

 

After a continuously successful period of four decades in the pre-independence era, the group entered into other fields such as dyes, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, etc. The first diversification started in 1939 with Anil Starch Limited. Atul Products Limited was established in 1952 for manufacturing textile-related chemicals and dyestuff. Atul formed  joint ventures with Ciba-Geigy called Cibatul, with American Cynamid called Cynamid of India and with ICI of UK called Atic Industries.  As time progressed the JV partners separated amicably and these companies exist in India today as full representatives of these global giants.

 

With the retirement of Kasturbhai and his younger brother Narottambhai from active business, the role of the patriarch fell on the shoulders of Arvindbhai. He along with his brother Niranjanbhai and his cousins Ashokbhai, Ajaybhai, Chinubhai and Vijaysinhbhai looked into the running of the te1tile mills, Siddharthbhai headed Atul Products, and Shrenikbhai, Anilstarch. The group took over a sick company called Ahmedabad Laxmi Cotton Mills Company Limited and merged with Arvind Limited and the unit was renamed as Ankur Textiles. The unit currently under Arvind Products Limited is today the country largest organized player in the voiles market.

 

The group also invested in Anup Engineering Limited engaged in fabrication and set up Amol Dicalite in collaboration with General Refractories Limited, U.S.A for manufacturing filter aids and perlite products.

 

With the third generation of Lalbhais retiring from business Sanjay, Sunil and Samveg Lalbhai, the fourth generation of Lalbhais, now oversee all the businesses.

 

Apart from the field of business the Lalbhais over generations have contributed to education, social and religious causes. Their contribution to education starting from Gujarat Vernacular Society in late 1800’s to the formation of Ahmedabad Education Society, (1936), which governs 11 leading colleges and 6 schools, and 4 other educational programs. Kasturbhai Lalbhai played a key role in establishing the Physical Research Laboratory (1948), ATIRA(1947) and the famed IIM Ahmedabad (1961). The Lalbhai family has been closely associated with the Jain trust called Anandji Kalyanji Trust which is involved in propagating and maintaining Jain temples in western India.  Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai headed the trust for 50 years, followed by Shrenik Lalbhai for 30 years, and now, Samveg Lalbhai  heads the trust.  Sanjay Lalbhai heads  Sharda Trust – Arvind’s CSR vehicle.  Arvind is committed to upgrading the standard of municipal schools in Ahmedabad and work towards building a pool of bright employable youth.

Transformation:

History has been witness to the Arvind Group’s commitment to excellence, innovation, perseverance and undying attention to customer and societal needs. As an organization, Arvind has successfully integrated diverse businesses, services and products, unified by a common vision - of enriching lifestyles.

 

Founded in 1931, Arvind lost no time in establishing its position as one of India’s leading super-fine fabric manufacturers for the domestic market. And yet, Arvind has always felt the pulse of the market; welcoming change and reinventing itself for the challenges of a dynamic society and marketplace.

 

This policy of change has fetched them well deserved results. Arvind’s adoption of new-age fabrics has seen the Company emerge as one of the largest denim manufacturers in the world, while also bringing them global recognition for the manufacture of shirting, khakhi and knitted fabrics.

 

A large and growing presence in the manufacture of ready-made garments - jeans, shirts and knits – has further seen Arvind’s rise as a one-stop solution provider for leading global and domestic apparel brands.

 

Finally, the Company’s direction and rapid growth in the branded apparel and retail business along with a more recent involvement in the growing of organic cotton, has consolidated its presence through the apparel value chain.

 

Arvind’s expertise is end to end; they apply exacting standards of innovation, design and service through the journey; from its origin as a fiber of cotton in a farmer’s field, all the way to its culmination as a satisfying shopping experience. And that, in fact is the feather in the cap
