DISTRIBUTION BUSINESS:

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS:

 

Following  the  global  meltdown,  there was slowdown in  the  sale  of  IT products  until  the first half of the year . On  the  back  of gradual recovery of business sentiments during the second half of the  year, the sales growth picked up and enabled the Company to  show positive growth for the full year.

 

The Company has adopted various strategies to maintain its overall  growth objectives  by  adding key vendors to its portfolio  and  intensifying  its focus  in tier II cities and towns setting the base for accelerated  growth in the ensuing years.

 

The  aggressive  pace of both the Central and State  Governments  to  drive their  e-governance  projects and increased budgetary  allocation  for  the education  and  health  sector  is expected  to  stimulate  demand  for  IT

products.  Strong traction in desktop sales, continued consumer  confidence and  a revival in IT spend spurred personal computer (PC) sales during  the January-March   2010  quarter,  recording  33%  year-on-year  growth   (IDC Research).

 

It  is expected when most budget announcements are translated  into  actual expenditure, it would trigger huge demand for IT products. The Company  is poised  to  exploit all these opportunities to its advantage with  a  clear focus on growth areas.

 

Tie-up  with key vendors to complement the product bouquet has always  been an  important  growth  strategy  for  the  Company  and  last  fiscal  was significant  from this point of view, with the addition of Oracle,  D-Link, LG-Nortel,   RSA   Security,  Iomega,  Citrix,   Lifesize   Communications, NComputing, NetApp, Array Network, Ricoh and Fujitsu.

 

The Company's overseas subsidiaries have signed new distribution contracts with vendors like Dell, Fujitsu and Lenovo in the Systems space for  select countries  in  Middle East and Africa and also signed  new  contracts  with vendors  like  Juniper  Networks,  Check  point  Software,  Netgear,  Coral Telecom, Ascom and Molex in the value added distribution space.

 

During the financial year, the Company has added more  than 2,000 channel partners in India. As of 31.03.2010, the Company along with its subsidiaries has more than 75 brands, 23,600 channel partners, 78 warehouses and 68 sales offices.

 

NON-INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS:

 

In  the  NON-IT  products space, the Company  currently  has  presence  in Digital  Lifestyle,  Telecom,  Consumer Electronics  and  Digital  Printing industry.  The Company's decision to venture into verticals other than IT products had enabled it to grow its revenue even during a difficult  and challenging  year. Today, the Company is a Supply Chain Solutions player for many products, though IT products currently constitute a major share to the Company's total revenue.

 

Digital Lifestyle Products:

 

Until previous year, the Company was distributing products like Apple  Mac Notebooks, Apple Ipods, Microsoft Xbox gaming consoles and gaming contents.

 

During  the  year,  the  Company  has  added   MapmyIndia's navigation devices and Jabra's wireless telecom accessories. With the highway travel   becoming  increasingly  popular  in  the   country,   MapmyIndia's navigation  GPS devices loaded with India's best maps and  satellite  based voice  guided navigation ensuring safe travel, would be in high  demand  in future.

 

Telecom:

 

During the year, telecom products such as  Blackberry  smart phone  in  India and inclusion of more territories for  distributing  Nokia hand  sets  in Middle East and Africa, enabled the Company to  sustain  its growth strategy.

 

India is now the second largest mobile market in the world after China, with about 400 million mobile users.  According to Cellular Operators Association of India's (COAI) projection, there will be 1240 Million mobile users in 2015 - which means one phone for every Indian.

 

The demand for Blackberry Smartphones has been encouraging in the year. The Company's strong relationship with large retail store customers has enabled it to show consistent monthly growth both in terms of units sold and sales revenue.

 

The Company has recently tied up with LG electronics for distribution of their mobile phones in the Tamilnadu market. This gives them entry into the high growth mobile handset space.

 

The Company's MEA operations have obtained a new distribution contract from Nokia for Ghana market. The volumes have been scaled up significantly in Nigeria and Kenya through better reach and coverage.  The Company's subsidiary, Redington Gulf FZE, has been honoured with the No.1 distributor position for Nokia products in Sub-Saharan Africa and has also been awarded the best distributor for Nokia products in East and West Africa.

 

Consumer Electronics:

 

India,  being  a  vast market with a strong consumer  base  and  a  growing interest in life-style products, the Company has extended its experience in distribution  of  technology products to Consumer Electronics  products  as well.

 

The sale of Consumer Electronics products has shown an increased growth percentage every year. When the Industry has grown by 15% during the year, compared to previous year, the revenue from sale of consumer electronics products to the Company has grown by 65%. This was possible with the immense support received from the trade partners and the vendors.

 

Within  a  short  span from the start of  consumer  durable  business  the Company  has expanded its branch network for sale of  consumer  electronics products to 14 cities with a market base of about 2,500 channel partners.

 

With an objective to become a one-stop shop for retailers, the Company has entered  into partnerships with vendors like LG, Whirlpool, Godrej  etc  in the  Consumer Electronics space.The addition of Godrej consumer  appliances during this year  is a welcome addition in this segment.

 

Digital Printing:

 

In  early  2005,  the Company, joined hands with  HP  Indigo  and  started distribution  and  after  sales  service  of  Digital  Printing   machines. Currently the Company has about 80 HP Indigo printing machines  operating in  India in the Commercial and Industrial printing segments and  continues to grow with printing turning 'Digital'.

 

For  short-run  jobs,  Digital Printing Machines are  more  cost  effective compared  to  conventional offset printing machines, while  providing  much quicker 'turn-around-time' for such jobs.

 

The  unique  establishment  of Redington's 'HP Indigo  Digital  Press  Demo Centre'  and  its 'Indigo Training Facility' in Chennai  demonstrates  the Company's  strong  commitment  to its customers in  the  graphic  arts  and digital  publishing  industry in India. The Demo centre is the  fifth  such centre for HP Indigo globally.

 

AFTER SALES SERVICES BUSINESS:

 

The  Company  enhanced  its  after sales  service  support  from  existing warranty and post warranty support for IT and Telecom products to  pre-sale and  post sale support for enterprise products. These services include pre sale technical support, design, installations, remote technical support and 24x7 on-site support.  The Company could carve out more  business  from existing customers and vendors by providing superior services and  ensuring customer  satisfaction. The Company extended and strengthened its support network by adding more locations. The  Company  delivers  services  to customers  through  48 owned service centres (Previous Year - 43)  and  220 partner  service  centres (Previous Year - 211) in India. In MEA markets, the Company's subsidiaries have 20 owned service centres  (Previous  Year 18) and 15 partner service centres (Previous Year 15).

 

Complementing the new initiative in the distribution space, the Company's service unit extended its support services to new telecommunication vendors as well.  Today, Blackberry customers can avail services at 27  locations across  the Country and efforts are on to extend these services  from  more locations. To provide a new experience to the customers of Blackberry smart phones, the Company is planning to invest in Blackberry exclusive service centres in large cities. One such centre is already operational at Chennai during the year .

 

The  Company's  Service  Division  started  their  Remote   Infrastructure Management  Services  from  their new Network Operations  Centre  (NOC)  at Chennai.  Through this facility they can remotely manage services of there corporate customers using advanced technology. The Company will extend this support to IT as well as Telecom enterprise customers.

 

The Company also provides L1,L2,L3 and L4 services and offer warranty  and post  warranty  repair  support for Mobile Handsets(GSM  and CDMA), Fixed Wireless Phones (FWP), Fixed Wireless Terminals (FWTs) and Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).

 

The Company's strong forward and reverse logistics capabilities enable spare parts to reach nook and corners of India on time and timely return of defective units to the supplier. Certification Body of TUV SUO Management  Service GmbH has certified that the Company's After Sales Services has established and applied a Quality Management System for its services.

 

The Company's overseas subsidiary in MEA has established 3 new service centers in that region. All these service centers in the region have been accredited ISO 9001:2008 quality rating. The subsidiary has been given 'The Best  After Sales Service Provider Award' by Value Added Reseller (VAR),  a leading channel magazine in the Middle East.

 

SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS:

 

Automated Distribution Centre:

 

The first ADC in Chennai has started operations effective last fiscal.  In Dubai, the work on the state-of-the-art 100,000 sq ft ADC at Jebel Ali Free Zone is nearing completion and is expected to be operational by middle of the current year 2010-11. The Company has initiated steps to set-up an ADC in Kolkata and is expected to be operational by early part of 2011.

 

Commencing  operations  from these network of ADCs is expected  to  enhance productivity  in  throughput and enable tie-up for  third  party  logistics services.

 

The transition to the new automated warehousing facility at Chennai has bee  smooth with zero variance in stocks and minimal loss of operations time.

 

Third Party Logistics (3PL) Services:

 

The year was a challenging one for the 3PL business.  Economic slow down resulted in reduced inventories and volume for the companies in various industries with a corresponding impact in 3PL operations. Many Corporates looked at cutting down supply chain related cost in order to maintain margins. The cost assumed higher importance than the quality of service and speed of delivery.

 

However, the Company was able to maintain an edge over competition to retain contracts with leading brands like Cadbury, Sonicwall, Vodafone and Kuehne + Nagel and established its presence in the market place. During the year, the Company signed up with IFB and Girias (Large Format Retailer) for 3PL services.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK:

 

The impact of economic slowdown seems to be vanishing in the emerging economies. In most advanced economies, the recovery remained sluggish by past standards, whereas in many emerging and developing economies, it was relatively vigorous. Global production and trade which was declining in the first half of the year bounced back in the second half of the year. The prediction of United Nations regarding the rise in global economic growth by 2.4% is a good indication. If the growth of the world economies continues at this pace, it would spur the demand.

 

The Global Information Technology Report 2009-10(GITR) highlighted the  key role  of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as an enabler of  a more  economically, environmentally and socially sustainable world  in  the aftermath of one of the most serious economic crises in decades. It is also stated that many countries would be successful by leveraging ICT and taking full advantage of ICT advances to enhance overall competitiveness. GITR has raised  India's  Ranking  from  54th  to  43rd  for  its  preparedness   to effectively   use  ICT  for  different  purposes  like  general   business, regulatory and infrastructure environment.

 

INDIAN LANDSCAPE:

 

The impact of global crisis has been felt by the world nations differently and at varying degree. While this clouded India's growth pace, the Country was able to achieve positive GDP growth more than what was predicted at the beginning.  Indian economy is expected to grow faster in the next fiscal. The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) expects India's GDP growth to accelerate to 9.2% in 2010 - 11.

 

In  a year that witnessed postponement in spending decisions by  consumers, the  Government sector in India provided the much-needed fillip to  the  IT industry's growth. Not only did the government spending on ICT products and solutions help the market demand, the stimulus programs from the Government during the year facilitated shoring up demand across all industries.

 

IDC expects this trend to continue in 2010 as well with large e-governance projects to be awarded and implemented in many States (provinces) as well as by several Central (federal) government ministries. Some of the projects on  the  anvil  include  the  Accelerated  Power  Development  and  Reforms Programme (APDRP), the e-District and State Data Centre (SDC) projects  and those proposed by the Ministries of Posts, Railways and Defence. All these projects are expected to involve huge spending on ICT solutions in 2010. The 29 State Governments across India are cumulatively estimated to have spent more than INR 37,000 million (nearly US$ 820 million) in 2009 on IT products alone. IDC expects this figure to grow by more than 11% in 2010. Thirty  Central  Government  ministries  on the  other  hand  presented  an opportunity  of INR 36,000 million (nearly US$ 800 million) in 2009,  which is forecast to grow by 14% in 2010.

 

The  year  2010 would be a transitional year for IT deployments  in  Indian Public  sector  and  Government  Departments with  the  focus  shifting  to automation  of  the  back-end  processes. This is  largely  guided  by  the realization that front-end delivery mechanisms alone is not sufficient till the  back-end  infrastructure and organisational capacities  are  built  to serve  the  common man better. The automation/digitization is  expected  to give a boost to adoption of Document Management Services (DMS) and  digital imaging  technologies by government departments. Scanning of documents,  be it  for  internal  archival/storage  or  for  the  delivery  of   statutory certificates  to  citizens, is going to be one of the key thrust  areas  in 2010.

 

NATURE OF BUSINESS:

 

The  Company along with its subsidiaries is in the business of  end-to-end supply  chain management of IT and non-IT products in  various  geographies which  has high potential for growth. The Company also renders after  sales support services, financial services and logistics services.

 

The  foremost objective of the supply chain business is to ensure  ultimate reach  of  the products to end customer at the optimal  cost  and  shortest possible time. The IT distribution industry is encompassed with network  of interconnected  business  partners  like  value  added  resellers,  systems integrators, sub distributors, large format retailers and small mom and pop stores.  The distribution channel provides geographically dispersed  demand to  be  served at a lower cost than what vendors can typically  achieve  on their  own.  The  channel  makes it easier  for  business  to  acquire  new technology as opposed to acquiring that technology in a multi-vendor model.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE:

 

IT BUSINESS:

 

India  remains  a focus geography for all Global IT Hardware  and  Software vendors.  The  major  reasons for this are the  favorable  growth  oriented fiscal  policies  of  the  Government,  huge  investments  in  e-Governance projects,  upgrading  of  IT infrastructure by the  Banking  and  Financial Services sector, investments in the Education sector and continued spending by  the  Indian Consumer on the back of positive economic  sentiments.  The much   anticipated  revival  of  infrastructure  spending  would   have   a significant positive impact on the IT eco-system.

 

The Company works as a national distributor for all leading  international IT  Brands.  It  distributes a complete bouquet of  IT  products  including desktops,  laptops,  servers, software packages,  peripherals,  components, networking  equipments,  storage  products and  high-end  enterprise  level Servers / Storage / Software.

 

The  Company  managed  to maintain its success story  even  during  highly challenging  times by focusing on growth areas, keeping a tight control  on costs and adding key vendors to its portfolio.

 

The  Company  would continue to tailor its strategies to meet  the  future challenges  in order to ensure that the growth objectives are  not  diluted and  it  continuously  identifies  newer and  fresher  areas  for  business

acquisition.

 

NON -IT BUSINESS:

 

The Company has penetrated into distribution of non-information technology products successfully since 2004.

 

In India, Government's recent approval for 3G enabled telecom service would provide  more scope to increase the growth in the telecom  product  demand. The  Company sees robust growth in the coming years in the mobile  handset distribution  market  and  believes BlackBerry sales would prove  to  be  a catalyst  for  this  growth, as there are clear  shift  in  consumer  taste towards Smartphones.

 

Consumer Electronics industry consists of durable goods used for  domestic purposes  such as televisions, washing machines,  refrigerators,  microwave ovens,  etc.  The growth in the consumer durables sector  has  been  driven primarily by factors such as the boom in the real estate and housing industry and  with  rising  affluence  level  of  a  considerable  section  of   the population.

 

As per  a  survey  conducted by FICCI  on  the  Indian  consumer  durables industry,   a   shift   in   consumer   preferences   towards   higher-end, technologically advanced branded products has been quite discernable.  This shift  can  be explained by narrowing differentials between the  prices  of branded  and unbranded products added with the high quality of after  sales service provided by the branded players. The shift has also been  triggered by  the  availability of foreign branded products in India owing  to  lower import  duties. The surge in advertising has been instrumental in bringing about a sea change in the consumer behavior pattern and preference.

 

SERVICES:

 

The  Company  from the beginning believed in the importance of  3rd  party neutral  service  provider for vendors and customers in high  growth  large markets  like India, Middle East and Africa. Presence of 3rd party  neutral service  provider helps the brand owners to deliver timely service  and  at lower  cost.  The Company has been able to map consistent  growth  in  there service business by being the neutral service provider, providing customers in  India  with  world class service support in  association  with  leading global IT and Telecommunication organizations. The Company has always been the  frontrunner in many activities providing end-to-end  support  services including warranty services, supply of authorized spare parts and  upgrades to other service providers, annual maintenance services, technical response centre,  high  level repair services for mobile handsets  and  motherboards etc.  and  thereby  giving significant value-addition to  the  vendors  and customers.

 

THIRD PARTY LOGISTICS:

 

Globalization   resulted   in Indian firms' demanding new logistics capabilities and more complex solutions for logistics challenges. There is a greater realization about importance expert logistics services.  Due to economies of scale, 3PL service provider like the Company, are better positioned to provide a cost effective solution to these expert  logistic needs.

 

More companies are turning towards 3PL to help them in successful management of supply chain processes.  3PL provides the ability to bring down conventional logistics costs and handle more complicated tasks.

 

The  3PL  industry is expected to become a $90 million  industry  from  the current  $58  million,  as  around 55 per cent  of   Indian  companies  are outsourcing logistic services, which used to be between 10-15 per cent  ten years ago (Source: Business Standard). Value added services are currently the most important driving factor for such a shift giving hopes for further shift in future.

 

The Company manages low turnaround time at cost effective mode supported by investment in Distribution Centre and high quality warehouse management software.  Supply Chain Solution services form an integral part of the Company's operations.  The  Company's  initiative  to  set  up  Automated Distribution  Centres(ADCs)  at four Metros in India and one  in  Dubai  is progressing  well.  ADC at Chennai started its operations in the last financial year. It was challenging to implement a best of breed warehouse management system, performance testing of high end Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) equipments and giving adequate training to the manpower. Unlike a normal warehouse, the uniqueness of ADC is having process driven operations.

 

OVERSEAS OPERATIONS:

 

The Company always aims at networking seamlessly beyond boundaries.  The Company's overseas subsidiaries contribute equally to the growth. The global turmoil last year has affected the growth in IT industry in the overseas operations. Majority of there vendors de-grew their revenue in this market due to serious erosion of demand, mainly from corporate segment.  In the Middle East market, there was de-growth in units sold across all the product categories, except in Notebooks.

 

However, the Company's subsidiary, Redington Gulf could retain its revenue growth in the MEA by adding new brands like Dell and couple of other brands in higher margin value space. Redington-Gulf's strong retail customer base which facilitated tie-up with Dell in May 2009 was a significant move for the company in its MEA growth strategy. Addition of Dell  brand  in  there bouquet  when  there largest vendor was de-growing in these  markets  was  an important  step  towards the Company achieving positive growth in  its  MEA revenue.

 

During the last 3 to 4 years, Redington-Gulf is making conscious effort to move into distribution of value products in MEA markets. The value division was started with focus on networking products and solutions. The vision behind value-added distribution is to establish the Company as a leading one-stop-solutions provider for  information   management,   information convergence  and  information  security vertical. With the  addition  of  5 brands  in  the  year,  currently  the  Company's  overseas subsidiary, Redington-Gulf has about 15 brands in this space and is showing a consistent  growth. The Value Division is associated with  some  of  the leading  global  brands  including Avaya, Ascom, Coral  Maksat, Cisco,  HP ProCurve,  HP  Software,  Juniper,  Microsoft,  Nortel,  Netgear,   RedHat, SonicWall, Trapeze Networks and TrendMicro.

 

In  the Telecom segment, a significant performer in there African market  was Nokia  in  Nigeria  and Kenya. Nokia is the No. 1 telecom  brand  in  these markets.  Telecom  as a segment has done well for the company in  the  last

couple of years. In Nigeria, Redington Gulf has increased its market  share to  take  a leadership position through better logistics,  penetration  and reach.  In Kenya, Redington Gulf and its subsidiaries managed to  scale  up its business through its presence in upcountry markets. Redington Gulf  has been awarded contract by Nokia for Ghana market also.

 

While  the  Company's overseas subsidiaries have set  their  footprint  in Africa  in  the  early 2000, there are continuous  efforts  to  expand  the geographical spread within that region. Recently, Redington Gulf has  added

two new markets, Ghana (in West Africa) and Uganda (in East Africa).  There are  well laid out strategies to move into North Africa in a big  way.  The period , also saw a revival of there business fortunes in Egypt.
