ANNUAL PERFORMANCE

 

The will be happy to know that this year, at Rs. 49350.000 millions, the total income of the Company has exceeded US $ one billion, a 52.6% increase over last year's income of Rs. 32350.000 Millions.

 

Thermax's energy business comprising Boiler and Heater, Power and Cooling and Heating contributed 77.3% of its income while the environment business comprising Air Pollution Control, Chemicals, along with Water and Wastewater Solutions accounted for the remaining 22.7%.

 

In terms of profitability, the company had an EBITDA of 11.6% (12.1% last year). The variation has been due to the rising cost of raw materials, higher share of Power EPC business and the acceptance of certain strategic orders at lower margins.

 

The company's performance during fiscal 2010-11 straddled two distinctly dissimilar phases in the economic environment – a first half of robust growth followed by six months of economic uncertainties. While the first phase saw the continuing surge in our order finalization, the latter six months saw credit drying up due to high interest rates, resulting in a slowing down of orders. Due to the slow-down in new orders in the last two quarters of 2010-11, your company's performance next year is likely to be subdued. However, being positioned in the crucial areas of energy and environment, with the continuing vibrancy of the national economy, the medium to long term outlook for the company is positive.

 

Profit before tax and extraordinary items was also higher at Rs. 5730.000 millions as compared to Rs. 3919.000 millions in the previous year. Profit after tax and extraordinary items was at Rs. 3824.000 millions compared to Rs. 1414.000 millions in the previous year (after providing for extraordinary item of Rs. 1149.000 millions). Earnings per share (EPS) rose to Rs. 32.09 from Rs. 11.87 (after extraordinary item) in 2009-10.

 

Order booking for the year was Rs. 53180.000 millions against Rs. 57940.000 millions, last year. The company completed the year with an order backlog of Rs. 56050.000 millions as against Rs. 5381crore in the previous year.

 

During the year, exports, including deemed exports, were higher at Rs. 10659.000 millions from Rs. 6565.000 millions last year, an increase of 62.4%.

 

The consolidated total income of the Thermax Group was Rs. 53950.000 millions (Rs. 34222.000 millions, previous year) recording a 58% increase. Income from international business including deemed exports was up 74% to Rs. 12505.000 millions from Rs. 7204.000 millions. The Group registered a profit before tax of Rs. 57373.000 millions (Rs. 4004.000 millions, previous year). Profit after tax and extraordinary items and minority interest was Rs. 3817.000 millions for the year. Consequently, earnings per share (EPS) also increased to Rs. 32.03 (Rs. 12.11 after extraordinary item, previous year).

 

By a general circular (No. 2/ 2011 dated February 8, 2011), the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, under Section 212(8) of the Companies Act, 1956, has permitted companies to not attach copies of the Balance Sheets and Profit and Loss Accounts, Directors' Reports, Auditors' Reports and other documents of all their subsidiaries, to the Accounts. The company has acted accordingly.

The Danstoker and Omnical brands will help your company expand its reach in Europe, South East Asia and the Middle East.

 

The acquisition will also help in expanding your company's green initiatives, as significant portion of the revenues of Dan stoker and Omnical come from biomass and wasteheat recovery boilers. It will enable Thermax to gain from the ongoing renewable energy movement of Europe aimed at generating 20% of its overall energy generation from renewable by 2020.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Overview

 

The year gone by witnessed recovery and gradual growth in most markets. With the financial crisis in the developing world firmly behind us, most countries are now reevaluating the stimulus packages they had introduced during the crisis. Countries that curtailed their stimulus packages have had a mixed experience, some experiencing continuing unprecedented levels of unemployment and some yet to see consumer demand revive. Markets remained volatile due to diverse developments over which governments and central banks appear to have little control – the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone, a worrying fiscal future for the US, sharp rise in inflation in emerging economies. The year ended with political unrest in northern Africa which quickly gained momentum and spread across to parts of the Middle East too.

 

India's GDP grew 8.6%, spearheaded by sectors like manufacturing, construction, transportation, real estate, trade, communication and sustained by the agricultural sector that grew by 5.4%. As per the latest IIP indices, manufacturing clocked an impressive 10%growth during the Apr-Nov 2010 period but later slowed, with the March figures at just3.2%.

 

The last financial year also saw India emerging as the world's second largest investor in the infrastructure segment, with the power sector claiming the largest share of this investment, followed by the transportation sector. However, the power demand-supply indices show a deficit of over 10% on peak power and 8-9% at base load level and these were compounded by the forecast that the Eleventh Five Year Plan is likely to fall short of the original target by about 25,000 MW. The increase in general interest rates declared in the last financial year, and the six revisions by RBI added to the hurdles facing green field projects. Specifically, it affected the power sector projects where the domestic commercial banks could soon hit their sect oral lending limits. Though investment in the sector has seen good growth, it is constrained by the inability of the States to reform their distribution businesses that continue to run at losses.

 

Another downside of the growth story has been the unhealthy inflation and a growing current account deficit (CAD), which stood at 7% and 3% of GDP, respectively. With perceptible uncertainty in many of the large export markets, the situation is challenging. However, there are plans to aggressively promote the export of high value products that have a strong manufacturing base, such as engineering goods, to tilt the balance of payment in India's favour.

 

India's commitments to the international community at Cancun this year have placed certain obligations on it in terms of energy efficiency, GHG emission abatement and boosting renewable power. The opportunities coming from the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) should present wide ranging opportunities in the coming years to companies operating in the field of energy and environment.

 

Rural infrastructure development focusing on basic water and sanitation facilities in villages across India shall open new avenues in water and wastewater management. An inclusive national budget looks promising for social sector areas like health, education and self-help groups for women. The opportunities to industry from these sectors are also extremely large and can open altogether new avenues.

 

With India slated to grow at about 8% annually, prospects for the energy and environment sector continue to be bright.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The company passed a historic milestone in 2010-11– a billion dollars in revenues, generating a total income of Rs. 49350.000 millions and a profit after tax of Rs. 382crore. Exports, including deemed exports, contributed 21.6 % of the total income.

 

The company's gains in booking new orders in the first half of fiscal 2010-11 were offset by the uncertain economic environment in the second half which resulted in as lowing down of orders.

 

Growing three-fold in the last five years, Thermax continued to contribute to the energy and environment sectors of India, poised for a vibrant phase of growth and development. During 2010-11, your company emerged as a key player in the national effort to exploit the potential of solar thermal business. It introduced hybrid systems that blended its thermal expertise with solar concentrator technology for cooling, heating, power and cooking applications at hotels, industrial plants and educational institutions.

 

The Innovation Council continued to guide the company to create a nurturing environment for innovations. Some of the key initiatives include solar cooling using triple effect absorption chillers, a solar thermal project for rural electrification, and the successful registration of an industrial programmed under CDM with the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change). A portal for capturing innovative ideas from employees across the board was also established during the year.

 

The company's Water and Waste Solutions business continued to support the national power sector providing raw water and effluent treatment for public and private sector companies. This business is also Delhi Metro's partner for water management across its 144km route, providing over 100 plus water and sewage treatment systems – filters, softeners, RO plants and compact wastewater plants.

The company has been strategically focusing on increasing its revenue through clean technology products and systems. Accordingly, all business divisions are now mandated totrack the share of their respective green and carbon neutral stream of revenues.

Over the years, Thermax has supplied systems with an installed capacity of 5037 MW of green energy. Its commissioned bagasse fired boilers have an installed capacity of 1593MW. Thermax's absorption chillers at client sites can provide 1.3 million tons of environment friendly chilling. The treatment plants supplied by Thermax cumulatively treat1679 million litres per day of water and waste water.

 

During the year, the company expanded its operational excellence initiatives to encompass many more processes and work centers. These projects focus on reducing the cost of poor quality, improving on-time performance and customer satisfaction. Thermax has also recalibrated its customer focus programmed, organizing a series of meets for face-to-face sessions with clients in different parts of the country. Feedback from these dialogues are put to use for product development and quality improvement.

 

In today's open market regime, your company faces competition from international players in all its business segments. Through technology partnerships, nurturing of innovation and indigenous R&D, and through improved products, it is preparing to meet the challenges posed by competition. In the face of global competition, especially from China in the power sector, your company believes that a level playing field needs to be established for Indian manufacturers through appropriate government policies.

 

COLLABORATION WITH GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY MAJORS

 

The company made significant moves that will help it  to  benefit  from the rapid growth happening in the country's power sector.  It  signed two joint venture agreements - with SPX Netherlands BV (SPX) for air  pollution  control equipment to help power plants meet  stringent  emission  norms  and  also  improve their thermal efficiencies; and  with  Babcock  and Wilcox  (B and W), USA for manufacturing supercritical boilers. Details of  the joint venture  UV)  company  formed with SPX is provided  in  the  'Subsidiaries'  section of this report. With  Babcock  and Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. (B and W  PGG),  a  global leader  in power generation industry, Thermax has entered into an  alliance to  form  a  strategic joint venture to engineer,  manufacture  and  supply supercritical  boilers  for  the  Indian power sector.  The  JV  will  also manufacture subcritical boilers over 300 megawatts (MW) in size.

 

Thermax will own 51% share of the joint venture while B&W PGG will have 49% ownership.  The  company will bring to the Indian  power  sector  Thermax's expertise  of integrating energy and environment solutions and  B&W's  long history  of providing proven, state-of-the-art power generation  technology and world class project management capabilities. B&W was the first  company in the world to build a supercritical boiler.

 

This  technology  will allow the new JV to contribute  to  efficient  power generation  in  the ultra mega thermal plants planned to meet  the  massive energy requirements of the country. Utility boilers above 660 MW  generally fall  under the supercritical category. Operating at higher pressures than those  of subcritical boilers, they increase efficiency and  produce  more energy from the same amount of fuel.

 

The new joint venture is being established at a critical time when  India's ambitious  growth plans and its dependence on coal fired power  plants  for power  throw up tremendous energy and environment challenges. It will  help meet  the  challenges  of  energy efficient  power  generation,  a  crucial requirement  in the context of emission reduction and the need to  conserve fossil fuel.

PRESS RELEASE

 

India plans duties on import of Chinese power equipment

Mint
31 October 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

New Delhi, Oct. 31 -- In a move that may spell trouble for private sector utilities and Chinese makers of power generation equipment, heavy industries minister Praful Patel has called a meeting on Thursday to discuss and push for the imposition of customs duties on imports of such equipment.

The meeting will be attended by officials from the ministries of heavy industries, commerce and power, and follows demands by local manufacturers to restrict Chinese power equipment imports.

"This is because domestic companies have been long complaining that they are becoming increasingly uncompetitive due to the cheaper power equipment imported from China," said a top government official aware of the meeting, who requested anonymity. "If customs duty along with excise duty is imposed on Chinese power equipment, then the effective tax on such imports will be around 17-18%."

 

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (Bhel) and Larsen and Toubro Ltd (L and T) have been lobbying with the government to limit Chinese competition. According to the contours of an earlier proposal, the imported equipment will be subjected to 5% customs duty, 10% countervailing duty and a special additional duty of 4%.

State-owned Bhel has been facing competition from Chinese power generation equipment firms such as Shandong Electric Power Construction Corp., Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited, Dongfang Electric Corporation Limited and Harbin Power Equipment Co. Ltd, both in domestic and overseas markets.

Power utilities have placed orders for overseas equipment largely because of the inability of local manufacturers to meet growing demand. Chinese imports are relatively cheaper because equipment makers from that country benefit from low interest rates and an undervalued currency. Undervaluing the currency makes exports cheaper and increases demand of products.

"We're aware about the proposal about levying duties on imported equipment. This is a very sensitive issue and we'll take some action. It's an unfair policy," said an Indian representative of Shanghai Electric.

Patel didn't respond to phone calls or to a message left on his cellphone on Friday. A Bhel executive, requesting anonymity, confirmed the development.

"There is a forward movement on the proposal," the official said.

The proposal being pushed by the heavy industries ministry has been in the works for some time and is aimed at creating a level-playing field for domestic companies.

The power ministry was not in favour of such a move until after the start of the 12th Five-year Plan (2012-17). A panel of senior government officials had earlier agreed to impose the taxes.

Planning Commission member Arun Maira has also recommended 14% import duty on power generation equipment to strike a balance between protecting local manufacturers and the need to import equipment to boost power production, reported on 10 February 2010.

"There is an intent on the part of the government to limit Chinese imports," said another official, who did not want to be named.

reported on 29 September about the government reviving a plan to scrap its so-called mega power plant policy, imposing a 5% customs duty on the import of equipment that goes into thermal projects that will generate at least 1,000 megawatts. However, the move needs to be cleared by the cabinet and the rule will apply only to new projects; firms that have already placed orders with Chinese companies will be exempt.

Power generation equipment makers having a manufacturing base in India-Bhel, Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Company Limited and the joint ventures between L and T and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Limited  Toshiba Corporation and JSW Group; Ansaldo Caldaie SPA of Italy and Gammon India Limited Alstom SA of France and Bharat Forge Limited BGR Energy Systems Limited and Hitachi Power Europe GmbH, and Thermax Ltd and Babcock and Wilcox Company -stand to

benefit from such a move.

India's move to curb Chinese power equipment imports comes at a time when the two countries have been discussing ways to double bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2015 and to plug a yawning trade gap in China's favour.

Aggression against a significant trade partner like China will not pay in the long run, said Abhijit Das, head of the Centre for WTO Studies.

"While imposing any such import duty, we have to first of all keep in mind that it is compliant with out commitments under the World Trade Organization and within the bound tariff rates," he said. "Secondly, it has to be applicable to all countries on a non-discriminatory basis and no country can be singled out."

India has been complaining about the increasing trade imbalance with China and lack of access for Indian firms to the Chinese market. China is the second-largest trade partner of India, behind only the United Arab Emirates. Indian exports to China were valued at $19.6 billion in 2010-11 and imports from that country $43.5 billion.
