MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW:

 

Indian Economy growth in 2010-11 has been swift and broad-based. The economy is back to its pre-crisis growth trajectory. Services sector continues its near double digit run. With the institutional reforms the economy's growth is expected to be in double digits in the near future.

 

Despite the fact that this was a period of the Global financial crisis, in 2010-11 the economy has enjoyed an unprecedented 8.5 per cent growth. This was composed of 5.4 per cent in agriculture, 8.1 per cent in industries and 9.6 per cent in services, but high inflation remains an area of concern.

 

The government assessed that the Indian economy would grow at 9% in 2011-12 as compared to 8.5% in the previous year and has expressed a commitment to fiscal stimulus in 2011, and to deficit reduction the following two years. It has proposed limited privatization of government-owned industries, in part to offset the deficit. It is estimated that, in four years, economic growth could hit ten percent, making India the fastest growing economy in the world.

 

One of the biggest challenges that India has faced on it path to economic development is the poor state of its infrastructure. The latest budget has stressed the requirement for improved infrastructure and has proposed several measures that will increase the investment in this sector and accelerate growth. With an improved network of highways, railways and airports visitors and tourists will be able to explore the country and visit places that might have been inaccessible or left out, thus providing impetus to the hospitality industry too.

 

 

HOSPITALITY and TOURISM INDUSTRY OVERVIEW:

 

Tourism in India is the largest service industry, with a contribution of 6.23% to the national GDP and 8.78% of the total employment in India. Indian Tourism and Hospitality sector has reached new heights and travellers are taking new interest in the country, which leads to upgrading the hospitality sector. Even an increase in business travel has driven the hospitality sector to serve their guests better. Visiting foreigners has reached a record 3.92 million and consequently International Tourism receipts have also risen to US $ 5.7 billion.

 

The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) have named India along with China as one of the fastest growing tourism industries for the next 10 to 15 years.

 

The Indian hospitality sector is expected to show a healthy growth and according to the Ministry of Tourism, the contribution of tourism to India's GDP is 5.9 per cent as compared to worldwide average of 11 percent.

 

By 2020 the tourism industry in India is expected to increase to US$ 275.5 billion at a 9.4% annual growth rate and also expects travel and tourism to contribute Rs. 8500 billion GDP, almost 4 times the value in 2005.

 

Hospitality industry closely linked with travel and tourism industry and India is experiencing huge footfalls as a favorite vacation destination of foreigners and natives and the hospitality industry is going into a tizzy working towards improving itself. The Indian tourism industry has outperformed the global tourism industry in terms of growth in the volume of international tourists as well as in terms of revenue.

 

As they enter the new decade, it would help to recollect the evolution of the Indian hospitality industry over the last ten years. At the beginning of the previous decade India was a country with only limited number of international brands and had hotels mainly concentrated in the major metros and predominantly in the luxury segment. The hotel industry in the country has undergone significant changes and has reinvented itself to benefit the industry as well as the guest base. The hotels today are no longer restricted to the major cities but are aggressively marking their presence in tier two and tier three cities. Guests today have a wide range of choices extending from the luxury, upscale, leisure to the budget segment. India has now become an attractive destination for any global hotel company which is evidenced from the entry of a slew of international hotel brands in the country and others plotting their strategies for entry. Also, what is remarkable to note is that inspite of the intense competition from international brands, the Indian brands have held their turf and thrived.

 

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

Hyderabad

 

Hyderabad has traditionally been a major centre for the IT and ITeS sectors. However, with the recent economic downturn, these sectors saw declines while new sectors such as finance and biotechnology have become more active in Hyderabad. Until the downturn, Hyderabad saw significant levels of economic development in the form of a new international airport, extensive improvements in road infrastructure, and announcements of new industrial parks and SEZs proposed for development across the city, especially in Gachibowli, HITEC City, and Shamshabad.

 

The city of Hyderabad has witnessed one of the highest growths in demand in the country as compared to 2009-

10. The city's mid-market occupancy levels were one of the most severely affected in 2009-10 owing partially to the ripple effects of global recession along with the persisting Telangana issue. The strong recovery witnessed in 2010-11 highlights the city's potential for growth and resilience. The RPDs in the luxury segment has been more or less stable as compared to the previous year.

 

The city has witnessed addition of new inventory of more than 500 rooms during the year, which were however absorbed by the addition in demand and hence not affecting the occupancies of the existing hotels in any substantial way.

 

However, with a continued focus on economic development by planning authorities, the high level of optimism among companies based in the city, and assuming there is a timely resolution to the Telangana issue, Hyderabad's hotel market is expected to see improvements in the future. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has also initiated checks on the star hotels in the city on various parameters ranging from cleanliness, hygiene, parking facilities, statutory compliances to green initiatives like reduction in usage of plastic so as to spur confidence in vacationers as well as corporates to choose Hyderabad as a favoured destination.

 

Chandigarh

 

The city of Chandigarh has always been a hub for film shootings with its scenic landscapes and plush gardens. Cricket has also been a mainstay with the Mohali cricket stadium forming a permanent venue in any cricket series

that is played in the country. The Mohali cricket ground witnessed a historic event in 2010-11 in the form of the Indo-Pak ICC Cricket World Cup semi-final which provided lot of visibility as well as business to the Company's property at Chandigarh.

 

Further, with more international flights slated to operate from the city, sanction for the Metro project and the growth of the IT industry in and around Chandigarh, the hospitality industry is bound to get a boost from the corporate as well as tourist activity. The occupancy levels and the average room rates in the city did see a rise in

the year 2010-11. However, the next two years are bound to see new room inventory coming into Chandigarh with brands like Marriott, Aloft and Sheraton slated to open up hotels.

 

Chennai

 

Similar to most major cities, Chennai also witnessed significant rate corrections in 2010-11. However, the city-wide occupancy increased over the last year, owing to improved performance in the second half of 2010- 11. Although the hotels witnessed a decline in demand from the IT/ITeS industry concentrated on the OMR, the fast-developing industrial regions of Sriperumbudur, Ambattur, and Egmore helped in sustaining occupancies. The delay in hotel openings of large hotel projects also helped in maintaining stable occupancy levels. The diverse nature of demand in Chennai, comprising of IT/ITeS, automotive industry, as well as other manufacturing industries located in Sriperumbudur will sustain the growth in demand going forward. The expansion of existing manufacturing facilities and setting up of new plants is responsible for attracting extended stay demand to the city, and is also responsible for travel by foreign corporate guests with high paying propensity.

 

However, a significant increase in supply of branded hotels with sizeable inventories, especially in the upscale and luxury segments is expected over the next few years.

 

FUTURE EXPANSION PLANS

 

In Hyderabad region Begumpet

 

The civil works and interiors for the new five star hotel project site at Begumpet, Hyderabad is progressing as per schedule. As per asset light strategy of the Company, the owner of land has put up the structure and the Company is doing the interiors. The project would consist of around 181rooms with cost of interiors estimated at around Rs. 1000.000 Millions, and is expected to be operational in 2011.

 

Taj Krishna

 

The Company is proposing the construction of a 12000 sq ft spa and an additional Car parking facility alongwith

enhanced landscaping and connecting bridges at the existing premises of Taj Krishna, at an estimated cost of Rs 200.000 Millions. The excavation works have been completed and the construction work on the car-parking facility has commenced.

 

Other plans

 

The company has been allotted around 6 acres of land at Yelahanka near Bangaluru for hotel projects. The Company is also planning to enter the value for money segment through the 'Ginger' brand in Andhra Pradesh.

 

The excavation works on the first Ginger hotel on a site located near the Shamshabad International Airport have

been completed.

 

Outlook:

 

According to the latest Tourism Satellite Accounting (TSA) research, released by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the demand for travel and tourism in India is expected to grow by 8.2 % between 2011 and 2020. This will place India at the third position in the world. India's travel and tourism sector is expected to be the second largest employer in the world. Capital investment in India's travel and tourism sector is expected to grow at 8.8 % over the next decade. The report forecasts India to get more capital investment in the travel and tourism sector and is projected to become the fifth fastest growing business travel destination from 2010 through 2020.

 

India currently has over 200,000 hotel rooms spread across hotel categories and guest-houses and is still facing a

shortfall of over 100,000 rooms and is far below the number of hotel rooms available in Shanghai or Manhattan.

 

The earlier setbacks in global tourism have strengthened the Department of Tourism's resolve to promote India's

tourism through aggressive marketing strategies through its campaign 'Incredible India'. The 'marketing mantra' for the Department of Tourism is to position India as a global brand to take advantage of the burgeoning global travel and trade and the vast untapped potential of India as a destination. With events like Aeroshow, Indian Premier League and Formula One Grand Prix happening in the country, it gives a shot in the arm for the local tourism industry.

 

Inspite of the rise in costs and the existing inflationary trends, the country is witnessing an unprecedented growth in hotel constructions and will be adding almost 114,000 hotel guest rooms to its inventory over the next five years. As the Indian hospitality sector grows, it will begin to see more differentiation in the present hotel positioning.

 

While it is fair to assert that hotels in India are currently witnessing several overlaps between the Budget and Mid-Market segments and then again between the Mid- Market and Upscale segments, it is likely that the picture will become clearer with time. They anticipate that as the industry matures, each segment will carve its niche in terms of the product as well as service deliverables and there will thus be a rationalisation of development costs, which will be in line with their respective market positioning.

 

Therefore, in the long term, the prospects of the Indian hospitality industry look bright, with adequate infrastructure support, rise in inward bound travel complemented by robust domestic travel with higher propensity to spend of the domestic clientele.

Notes:

 

1. Net Sales/Income from Operations for the half year ended September 30, 2011, improved by 11 ‘Yo over the corresponding period of the previous year, driven by improved occupancy and some improvement in average room rates as well during what is essentially an off season time for the sector. During the quarter, the Company launched a new 327 rooms Vivanta by Ta; hotel at Bengaluru. In view of the seasonality of the sector, the financial results for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2011, are not indicative of the full year’s expected performance.

 

2. Exceptional Item — Others, for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2011, includes 30.800 Millions, being the charge in respect of accumulated capital expenditure on a project since discontinued for commercial reasons and interest income of 137.200 Millions on a deposit refund received consequent to surrender of leasehold land in terms of a Supreme Court Order on the disputed allotment. Figures for the corresponding previous quarter and half year, relate to a provision for diminution in the value of an investment in a subsidiary for 0.858 Million and profit on sale of a hotel property for 0.429 Million.

 

3. During the quarter, with effect from April 1, 2011, the Company has adopted hedge accounting principles to account for hedging of loans extended to subsidiaries forming a part of the Company’s net investment in non-integral foreign operations. Effectively, the Company had partially converted its rupee borrowings into foreign currency borrowings, using cross-currency swap derivative instruments, so as to progressively balance on its books its net investments in overseas subsidiaries with foreign currency borrowings.

On application of the hedge accounting policy, the foreign currency translation differences of both, the hedging instrument (i.e. the borrowings) and the hedged item (i.e. the net investment in non- integral foreign operations), are recognised under Reserves and Surplus having due consideration to hedge effectiveness. Accordingly, the translation difference on the borrowings amounting to 517.700 Millions (net of tax) for the half year (including 507.400 Millions (net of tax) for the current quarter) forming the effective portion of the hedge has been recognised in the Hedge Reserve Account in the Balance Sheet, whilst the corresponding translation differences of the net investment in non-integral foreign operations of 1403.300 Millions for the half ycr (including 1386.400 Millions for the current quarter) has been recognised under Foreign Currency Translation Reserve Account in the Balance Sheet.

 

Under the previous accounting policy, the translation differences in respect of the borrowings were being amortised by way of a charge to the Profit and Loss Account. If the Company had continued with the previous accounting policy, an amount of 313.100 Millions for the half year (including 310.000 Millions for the current quarter) would have been reflected as Notional Exchange Loss in the Profit and Loss Account and an amount of 453.300 Millions would have been deferred and recognised as an asset under “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” (FCMITDA).

 

4. The formulae used for calculation of Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Interest Service Coverage Ratio are as follows:

 

a. Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Profit before Interest (Net), Depreciation and Tax /(Interest (Net) + Principal Repayment).

 

b. Interest Service Coverage Ratio = Profit before Interest (Net), Depreciation and Tax / Interest (Net).

 

c. While calculating the above ratios, debt which has been re-financed has not been considered as repayment of Principal and the ratios have been computed on a trailing twelve months basis.

 

5. The auditors in their report have invited attention to the Company’s exposures in long-term investments and advances (including through wholly-owned subsidiaries) given to certain companies aggregating 1,404 50 lakhs, wherein the carrying costs of these investments as at September 30, 2011, significantly exceed their book/market values as on that date. In view of the strategic nature of the investments and the Company’s long term commitment and strategies, in the opinion of the Management there is no diminution, other than temporary , in the value of the afore said investments.

 

6. Disclosure of segment-wise information is not applicable, as hotehering is the Company’s only reportable business segment.

 

7. Disclosure on Investors’ complaints:

 
Complaints outstanding at the beginning of the quarter

PRESS RELEASE:

 

Hotel companies: Higher occupancy, room rates to drive growth

 

Economic Times (India)

15 June 2011

By By Rajesh Naidu, The Economic Times, India

 

June 15--With rising real estate prices, hotel companies in India are increasing presence in tier-II and tier-III cities through midmarket and budget segments.

 

Low-cost hotels in smaller cities will see a growth of about 50 percent in the next four years, consulting and research firm HVS said in a report. The average per key cost of budget and mid-market hotels are about Rs 3.000 Millions to 5.000 Millions compared with Rs 8.500 Millions Rs 10.000 Millins for first class and luxury hotels.

 

Budget hotels break-even and turn profitable faster than their peers in the luxury space. Such an arrangement works better not only in terms of investment, but also in terms of returns. The return on capital employed (RoCE) of mid-sized hotels was more than 15 percent in the past five fiscals while larger peers such as Indian Hotels, EIH, and Hotel Leela Venture had RoCE of below 15 percent.

 

To tap the growth opportunity in the budget hotels space in smaller cities, several foreign players have tied up with local hotels to increase presence in India. Intercontinental Hotel Group recently signed a joint venture with India'sDuet Hotels to launch the Holiday Inn brand.

 

It would develop 19 properties in the initial phase. On the domestic front, segment leader Indian Hotels would have an inventory of about 48 percent in the mid-market and the budget hotels segment in the next 2-3 years. Mid-segment hotels companies such as Royal Orchid Hotels, Kamat Hotels, and Taj GVK Hotels and Resorts are also expanding presence in tier-II and tier-III cities.

 

High occupancy rates and revenue per room and low debt will drive growth of mid-sized hotels in the coming years. Mid-sized hotels have an average occupancy rate of 68 percent and revenue per room of Rs 4,624. Most of these companies are operating at low debt helped by a new business model and restructuring exercises.

 

Also, the rise in foreign tourist arrival in India will boost revenues for budget hotels in smaller towns. Foreign tourist arrivals in May were up 7 percent from the previous month, government data showed.
