GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

2009 was one of the most challenging years for the global economy in recent times with the global recession of 2008 and 2009 representing the largest peacetime downturn in economic activity since the 1930s. The World Bank reported that the positive growth in the emerging and developing economies was more than offset by negative growth in the advanced economies resulting in negative World GDP growth in 2009. The sharp decline in global demand for consumer durables and investment goods that accompanied the economic crisis, led to a significant demand contraction particularly in the United States of America and Europe which continued in most economies till September 2009. Economies with large current account deficits, excessive reliance on foreign capital to finance domestic consumption, and sizeable fiscal deficits witnessed sharper growth declines. Following unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy stimulus measures and direct Government support for some institutions and sectors, a gradual recovery in domestic demand and the turning of the inventory cycle saw most economies emerge from recession by the end of 2009. In contrast to most developed and emerging economies, China and India were able to avoid recession and recorded GDP growth of around 10% and 7.2% respectively in spite of a slowdown from pre-crisis growth rates as export demand collapsed across many sectors.

 

The US: The GDP in the country had a negative growth of 2.4% in 2009 over 2008 with a sharp decline in the first quarter of 2009 being partly offset by recoveries in the third and fourth quarters characterised by expanding production but continued job losses. Among the key economic indicators of change in GDP, the gross private domestic investment in 2009 dropped by 23.2% over 2008, while the export of goods and services dropped by 9.6% and 12.2% respectively.

 

The UK and Europe: The Euro zone economy declined by 2.7% in 2009-10 following a contraction of 1.3% in 2008-09 and emerged from recession in the third quarter of calendar year 2009. However, some member countries like Spain, Ireland and Greece continued to remain in recession till the end of calendar year 2009 while the UK emerged from recession in the last quarter of the calendar year. By the end of the downturn, the Euro zone economy as a whole had contracted by 5.1% from the peak and Euro zone industrial production and exports had posted cumulative declines of 14% and 13% respectively. Meanwhile, reflecting a collapse in confidence, tight credit and a large fall in demand, private business investment continued to decline until the end of 2009-10 posting a cumulative decline of 17.2%. The UK Government and the Bank of England undertook measures to stimulate the British economy increasing the liquidity and easing access for large companies to credit. However, this was not sufficient to support medium and small businesses resulting in a drop in industrial production and private business investment.

 

India: In India, the Economic Survey of 2009-10 revealed that some of the key macroeconomic indicators revived especially during the second half of the year compared to the previous year. Even though the agricultural output declined by 0.2% as a consequence of a poor monsoon season, the industrial and service sectors grew at the rate of 8.2% and 8.7% respectively taking estimated GDP growth to 7.2% during the year. It is worth noting that the manufacturing industry grew at 8.9% during the year.

 

Global effective steelmaking capacity utilization fell sharply in the second half of 2008 as steelmakers cut production in response to falling demand, reaching a low of around 61% in December 2008 - a figure which had improved to 76% by December 2009. Capacity utilization at Tata Steel Europe improved to 81% in the second half of 2009-10 in comparison to 64% in the first half of the financial year resulting in a 16% rise in production in H2FY 10 over H1FY 10. Group deliveries for the year 2009-10 at 24 million tones declined 15% compared to the 28 million tonnes recorded during 2008-09 as recessionary conditions affected most economies though less so in India. Tata Steel India registered growth of 18% in the financial year 2009-10 (6.17 million tonnes) over 2008-09 (5.23 million tonnes).

 

The Turnover for the Group in 2009-10 at Rs. 1023930.000 millions was 30.5% lower than 2008-09 (Rs. 1473290.000 millions) due to the severe contraction in the end user demand in Europe. The spot price of steel continued to be weak in the first half of 2009-10, with marginal recovery during the second half in line with the gradual pickup in global steel demand. The price recovery has varied by product and region, but in general has been strongest for Strip products in Asia while Long Product prices continued to be under pressure in Europe and Thailand due to lower level of construction activities in those regions. Consequently the Tata Steel Group Turnover for the second half of the year was Rs. 537060.000 millions which was 10.3% higher than the first half of 2009-10 at Rs. 486870.000 millions. The increase in the turnover during the second half of the year was primarily due to the significant increase in the deliveries (12.70 million tonnes in the second half compared to 11.57 million tonnes in the first half of 2009-10) and increase in the average prices during the second half of the year. For the year, Tata Steel Europe’s Turnover at Rs. 671920.000 millions was 39% lower than that of last year.

 

The Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of the Group was significantly affected in the first half of the financial year 2009-10 by the sudden termination of the Teesside Offtake Agreement by the Consortium members and the challenging market conditions in the Europe. This resulted in a consolidated EBITDA for the Group of Rs. 6060.000 millions for the six months ended September 2009. However, with the help of several initiatives across the Group and the re-structuring program in Europe, the Company reported a significant turnaround in the financial performance of the Company in the second half of the year with a consolidated EBITDA of Rs. 87340.000 millions which was 1341% higher than the first half of the year. The consolidated EBITDA for the year 2009-10 was Rs. 93400.000 millions compared to Rs. 184950.000 millions in the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

Consequently, the Profit after Tax for the second half of the year 2009-10 was Rs. 29070.000 millions compared to a loss of Rs. 49160.000 millions in the first half of the year. This resulted in a loss after tax (after minority interest and share of profit of associates) of Rs. 20090.000 millions  for the year which was significantly lower compared to the profit of Rs. 49510.000 millions  registered in FY 2008-09.

 

Tata Steel – Indian operations: The steel division of the Indian operations registered an increase of 20% in their saleable steel from 5.37 million tonnes in FY 2008-09 to 6.44 million tones in FY 2009-10. The production from the larger furnaces were maximized with better productivity and lower coke consumption while increased vessel life in the steel melting area enhanced the production level. The deliveries during the year FY 2009-10 at 6.17 million tonnes were higher by 18% over FY 2008-09 (5.23 million tonnes). There were several best ever performances recorded by many units in the Steel Works of the Company. The Ferro Alloys and Minerals division registered an increase of 22% in their saleable production during FY 2009-10 (1302k tonnes) over FY 2008-09 (1064k tonnes) while their sales at 1,508k tonnes in the year were higher by 36% over FY 2008-09(1,105k tonnes). Chrome Alloys exports and Manganese Alloys sales of the division scaled new peaks during the year. The Tubes division in FY 2009-10 grew by 11% and 10% in production and sales respectively over the previous year, boosted by various improvement initiatives across all its units. The division continues to pioneer the Closed Structural Business, with landmark structures being built using Tata Structura which crossed the three lakh tonnes landmark this year. Sales in the Bearings division registered a growth of 23% while its production increased by 8% driven primarily by the revival in the domestic auto segment demand.

 

Tata Steel Europe (TSE): Deliveries in Tata Steel Europe during FY 2009-10 (14.2 million tonnes) declined by 25% over FY 2008-09 (19 million tonnes) due to the market conditions in Europe and the UK. The recessionary conditions that commenced in the second half of the previous year continued to affect the operations for most part of the financial year 2009-10. The two halves of the financial year were in sharp contrast to each other. The Company acted swiftly to respond to this downturn by launching two very significant initiatives i.e. ‘Weathering the Storm’ and ‘Fit for the Future’ program. The ‘Weathering the Storm’ program covering the entire organization in Europe, included a series of short-term actions to mitigate the impact of reduced steel demand. It involved a reduction in third party services, flexible production to reduce energy cost, reduction in employment cost relating to overtime and putting major capital expenditure programmes on hold. The ‘Fit for the Future’ initiatives were put in place to address longer term issues such as TSE’s competitiveness and targeted savings of Ł350m.

 

The performance of the Company was adversely affected by the sudden termination in April 2009 of the Long-term Off-take Agreement by the Consortium for the slabs produced by Teesside Cast Products business in the UK thus burdening the Company with exposure to the small, niche merchant slab market. The Company did operate the Teesside plant till February 2010 incurring significant losses as the slabs are surplus to the requirements of the Company. Therefore, the Company had to regrettably mothball part of the facilities in February 2010 including the Redcar blast furnace and Lackenby steelmaking. The Company continues to explore options that could provide employment for the employees affected, including the sale of the mothballed operations.

 

The Company registered a significant turnaround in its operations in the second half of the year. This was achieved through increased deliveries, better cost structure and improved pricing scenario. Therefore, the EBITDA for the second half of the year was Rs. 23030.000 millions which was around 163% more than the negative EBITDA of Rs. 36540.000 millions in the first half.

 

EXPANSION PROJECTS

 

Brownfield Projects:

 

Tata Steel India is executing its plan to increase its crude steel capacity from 6.8 million tonnes per annum to 9.7 million tones per annum at its Jamshedpur Works by 2011-12. Simultaneously the Company also has a few major ongoing capital projects which include the capacity augmentation of Hot Strip Mill, Coke Dry Quenching at Coke Ovens Batteries 5, 6 and  7 and setting up a new mill for producing Full Hard Cold Rolled (FHCR) coils at Jamshedpur. On 6th April, 2010, Tata Steel entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC), Japan for setting up a Continuous Annealing and Processing Line at Jamshedpur, India with 0.6 mtpa capacities. The line will produce automotive cold rolled fl at products and address the local needs of Indian automotive customers for high grade cold rolled steel sheets. Tata Steel will hold 51% and NSC will hold 49% stake in the joint venture company. The proposed joint venture aims to capture the growing demand for high-grade automotive cold-rolled fl at products in India. NSC will transfer its technology for producing high-grade cold-rolled steel sheets for automotive application including skin panel and high tensile steel. These projects, along with other sustenance and improvement projects are being implemented with a view to support the Company’s current operations and its growth aspirations.

 

Greenfield Projects:

 

Orissa Project: Preliminary work on the 6 million tonne per annum capacity Greenfield steel plant at Kalinganagar, Orissa to be constructed in two phases, is in progress, focusing on land acquisition, rehabilitation and resettlement work. As of March 2010, a total of 806 families have been shifted from the plant site. The rehabilitation colonies for their resettlement have been provided with good infrastructural facilities which include clean drinking water, street lighting, and a community centre set up by the Company. A hospital with all amenities is also being provided by the Company. During the financial year 2009-10, construction of a warehousing shed and a building for a power receiving sub-station had started at one corner of the plant area. As per the MOU signed with the State Government of Orissa, the Company has fulfilled its obligation of placing the order for equipment and services.

 

Chhattisgarh Project: The Company has signed an MOU with the Government of Chhattisgarh for setting up of a 5 mtpa Greenfield integrated steel plant in Bastar. The process of land acquisition commenced with multi level discussions with stakeholders and thereafter obtaining necessary approval for a rehabilitation and resettlement package from the government. The land has been transferred in favour of the Department of Industries, which will subsequently lease it out to Tata Steel Limited. The Chhattisgarh Government has accorded approval for drawing

water from river Sabri and the Ministry of Railway, Government of India has granted an in principle approval for the railway corridor. Prospecting License for iron ore has been granted in Bailadila-I deposits after approvals have been obtained from the Ministry of Environment and Forest and Ministry of Mines, Government of India. Public hearing for the Environment clearance has been successfully conducted with the State Government having recommended the Company case to the Ministry of Environment and Forest, New Delhi. In line with the Company’s initiatives in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility, several activities in the field of health, youth and women empowerment, sports and skill development are being carried out for the local residents as well as those of the displaced families.

 

The Company continued to implement its long-term strategy to secure ownership of assets that will increase its raw materials security and share of value-added products. During the financial year 2009-10 the Company’s primary focus was on expediting implementation of its existing ventures.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 2009-10

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

Global Steel industry: The crude steel production for 66 countries reporting to the World Steel Association was 1220 million metric tonnes for calendar year 2009, lower by 8% against that of 2008. Hit by the economic downturn, the drop in production was nearly in all steel producing countries barring positive growth recorded in China, India and the Middle East. In most countries including the developed steel markets of the EU, the U.S.A., Japan, Brazil, CIS deterioration in the economy resulted in a sharp decline of demand in key steel using sectors.

 

Steel Industry in India: The production of fl at products and long products of major Indian companies is estimated to have grown by around 12% and 8% respectively during the financial year 2009-10 when compared with the previous financial year. While the long products exports were almost at the same level as that in the last year, fl at products exports dipped by around 30% on account of the global slowdown. The imports on the other hand were higher for both fl at products as well as long products by around 17% and 35% respectively as the fl at products and long products segments experienced around 23% and 9% increase in steel consumption. In line with the fiscal stimulus package announced in the country, the Government of India removed export duty on all steel items, reintroduced import duty of 5% on steel, restored DEPB benefits, reduced excise duty to 8% for major part of the year, placed import of hot rolled coils on the ‘restricted list’ thus making them available to direct users only and withdrew countervailing duty on import of Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars and structural. In order to ensure adequacy of availability of iron ore in domestic market, export duty on iron ore lumps has been increased from 5% to 10% and a 5% export duty has been imposed on iron ore fines to regulate the exports. The steel prices during the financial year 2009-10 have increased from the level prevailing in the quarter ended March 2009 driven primarily by the increase in the prices of input raw materials during the same period.

 

UK and European Steel Industry: In the EU, the apparent steel consumption dropped by around 35% during 2009. There was a decline of around 45% during the first half of 2009 driven by extremely weak activity in the steel using sectors and continuing sharp de-stocking. With the unprecedented drop in the activity levels, the production during 2009 reduced by around 20% over 2008 with sharp reduction experienced particularly during the first half of the year. The market downturn began to level out in the second half of the year as business conditions began to improve slowly, supported by government stimulus measures and improvements in international trade. With imports dropping by around 47% as compared to 2008, stable and low level of stocks through the supply chain and reduced levels of domestic steel business, the EU steel market supply and demand became much better balanced by the quarter ending December 2009. The exports during 2009 are estimated to have reduced by around 9% and the EU was a net exporter in long products.

 

South East Asian Steel Industry: Preliminary assessment suggests that the steel consumption in the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) picked up significantly in the second half of 2009. However, the increase was not sufficient to offset the sharp drop in the consumption in the first half of the year. As a result, the ASEAN apparent steel demand for 2009 is around 42.3 million tonnes which is 8% lower than the last year. Production of fl at products and long products during the year was stable at around 24.4 million tonnes. However imports and exports dropped significantly. Total imports reduced from 30 million tonnes in 2008 to 19.7 million tonnes in 2009 and exports dropped by 50% from 8 million tonnes in 2008 to 4 million tonnes in 2009. Consumption of Long Products recorded at 20.1 million tones in 2009, reduced by 4% as compared to 2008. The production declined to 16.4 million tonnes while exports dropped to 5.9 million tonnes. The demand for long products seemed to pick up fast and at 11.8 million tonnes in the second half of 2009, was close to the pre-crisis levels resulting in domestic producers benefiting from the demand growth.

 

TATA STEEL GROUP OPERATIONS

 

During the financial year 2009-10, the Group recorded deliveries of 24 million tonnes against 28 million tonnes in the previous year, the decline being a reflection of the global economic slowdown mainly in the UK and European operations. The turnover for the Group at Rs. 1023930.000 millions during FY 10 was 30.5% lower, when compared to Rs. 1473290.000 millions in the previous year. EBITDA for the Group in FY 10 was Rs. 93400.000 millions, lower by 49.5% against Rs. 184950.000 millions in FY 09. The loss after taxes (after minority interest and share of profit of associates) of Rs. 20090.000 millions during FY 10 registered a decline of 140.5% as compared to a profit of Rs. 49510.000 millions in FY 09.

 

Ferro Alloys and  Minerals division

 

The dramatic and rapid slowdown in industrial production and destocking which began in the latter part of FY 09 continued to exert a significant influence over the Ferro Alloy Industry in FY 10. Infrastructural investment in Asia resulted in improvement in the demand for stainless steel. However, despite the improving trend, average commodity prices in FY 10 were significantly lower than that of FY 09. The full benefit of rising prices in the second half of FY 10 was also partially offset by the negative impact of progressive strengthening of the Indian Rupee during the same period. The annual global stainless steel melt production at 24.3 million tonnes in 2009 was lower by 6% than 2008, with prices lower by 44%. However, commencement of re-stocking of stainless steel globally in the second half of the year led to rise in Ferro chrome demand and prices in that period.

 

Chrome Alloys exports (including Charge chrome from Tata Steel KZN Pte Limited) touched an all time high and the division recorded its highest ever global market share of 6% in FY 10. The first overseas hub of TSL was established in South Korea. In India, our Ferro Alloys and Minerals division is the market leader in Ferro Chrome business with a market share of around 27%. Manganese Alloys sales recorded an all time high in the financial year 2009-10 and Tata Steel attained the status of being the largest producer of Manganese Alloys in India.

 

Bearings division

 

Driven primarily by the revival in demand in the domestic auto segment in 2009-10, sales and production of the Bearings division were higher by 23% and 8% respectively over the previous year. Following are the highlights of the achievements of the division during the financial year 2009-10:

 

The sales were higher by 9% over the previous best of 29 million numbers in the financial year 2006-07.

 

• In the Bearings industry, the division was the only one to win the Supplier Award from Bosch India Limited and the Silver Award for manufacturing and supply chain excellence from Economic Times and Frost and  Sullivan.

 

• The Bearings division was awarded certification of upgraded version of ISO/TS 16949:2009 and ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System and OHSAS 18001:2007 certifications by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

 

Tata Steel Europe (TSE)

 

TSE has three main operating divisions; Strip Products, Long Products and Distribution and  Building Systems. The EU is the most important market for the TSE Group, accounting for 79% of its total turnover in the financial year 2009-10. TSE produces carbon steel by the basic oxygen steelmaking method at three integrated steelworks in the UK at Port Talbot, Scunthorpe and Teesside (Teesside Cast Products unit was partially mothballed at the end of February 2010), and one in the Netherlands at IJmuiden. Principal end markets for TSE’s steel products are the construction, automotive, packaging, mechanical and electrical engineering, metal goods, and oil and  gas industries.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The global economic downturn is set to recover at a faster and stronger rate than expected earlier although the pace of recovery primary drivers for the consumption. However, significant raw material price increases, interest rate tightening and inflation may provide some downsides to an otherwise positive outlook for the industry.

 

FINANCE

 

FY 10 has been a period of great economic difficulty in Europe and other developed markets. A very gradual economic recovery has started to take shape after a temporary but very sharp recession. In the second half of FY 09, a sharp decline in steel demand and prices, and reduced capacity utilisation had severely eroded the profitability of Tata Steel Europe (TSE).

 

In May 2009, TSE’s lenders consented to an amendment and waiver proposal with regard to financial performance covenants. While TSE would continue to meet interest and repayment obligations, testing of earnings related covenants was largely suspended till March 2010.

In the second half of FY 09 and the first quarter of FY 10, the Company had focused on raising additional debt in order to maintain a liquidity buffer given the uncertain nature of the steel markets.
