PERFORMANCE

 

The company recorded its highest turnover during the F.Y.2010-11 and maintained its leadership position in the leaf spring industry. Consolidated sale during the year under review was Rs.9980.000 Millions as against Rs.6610.000 Millions during the F.Y. 2009-10. Consolidated net profit for the F.Y. 2010-11 is Rs.370.000 Millions as compared to Rs.190.000 Millions during the F.Y. 2009-10.

 

During the year the company made preferential issue of 2631578 equity shares to Clearwater Capital Partners Singapore Fund III Private Limited and the promoters. The entire preferential issue proceed of Rs.250.000 Millions was utilized to prepay high cost term loans. This along with ploughing back of profits has reduced the total debt of the company from Rs.1190.000 Millions as on 31 March 2010, to Rs.660.000 Millions as on 31 March 2011. The company brought down its finance cost to 2% of sales against 4% of sales during F.Y. 2009-10. During the year, debt reduction improved debt/equity ratio from 1.45 to 0.50 and also brought down the breakeven point. The company is committed to improve the shareholders wealth by improving its margins and return on capital employed from current level of 44% and emerge financially strong to enable  it to withstand any future shock of recessionary or slowdown trend in the economy.

 

Increase in prices of raw material, power and oil and other commodities had put pressure on the margins. However, the company improved efficiency in its operation with value addition and higher sales, reduced finance cost. Consolidated PBT increased from Rs.250.000 Millions to Rs.550.000 Millions and consolidated PAT increased from Rs.190.000 Millions to Rs.370.000 Millions. Inflationary trends continue to cause worries which have led to hardening of interest rates and are bound to leave its impact on the overall growth of the economy. The GDP growth forecast of 8-9% during 2011-12 onwards may not be sustainable if inflation is not controlled. Hike in oil prices will also have its impact in the overall growth.

 

The company is improving efficiency in its operation to contain cost and has gone for energy efficient equipment as part of its expansion and technology up gradation.

 

The company shared its earnings with the shareholders and paid an interim dividend of Rs.1 per equity share during the F.Y.2010-11 and also proposing to pay final dividend of Rs.1 per equity share.

 

During the year under review, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary i.e. Jai Suspension Systems Limited was converted into a Limited Liability Partnership Firm. The company is the majority partner in the partnership firm having 99.9975% share.

 

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

THE COMPANY’S PERCEPTION ABOUT THE INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

The company’s fortune is linked with the commercial vehicle (CV) segment. It is a market leader in leaf and parabolic springs for all the major Indian OEMs and has 66% market share in India. Commercial vehicle segment is highly susceptible to upward or downward swings in the economy. If the economy does well, the CV segment clocks good growth. If there is slight hint of slowdown, it adversely affects the segment and has a cascading effect on those who are solely dependent on supply to OEMs. The past two years, i.e. 2009-10 and 2010-11 have been very favorable for the CV segment which is evident from company’s performance as well. However, the effect of inflationary pressures in the Indian economy is already being felt as the recent policy decisions of the Reserve Bank of India to combat inflation have led to hardening of interest rates. However, new models from existing customers and new customers are with Jai. These developments are likely to have impact in the CV segment and we feel that the trend and growth of past years may not be sustainable in the current year. The industry expects the pace in 2011-12 to be far lower due to the challenges of rising commodity prices, increase in energy cost, rising interest rates.

 

 

THE INDIAN AUTOMOBILE SECTOR, PARTICULARLY COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, PERFORMED IN 2010-11

 

Automobile sales in India grew at record levels in the financial year ended 31 March 2011. The Indian CVs market had shown remarkable growth in the last couple of years due to improving economic environment, growth in export and expansion of motorways and logistic systems. According to Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), overall commercial vehicles segment registered growth of 26.97% during April-March 2011 as compared to the same period last year. While medium and heavy commercial vehicles (M and HCVs) registered the highest growth of 31.78%, light commercial vehicles grew at 22.88%, as per SIAM data. In the overall spring demand scenario, share of medium and heavy CVs in springs is 66%.

THE COMPANY PERCEIVE THE INDUSTRY’S DEMAND OUTLOOK FOR 2011-12 ONWARDS

 

Demand for trucks and commercial vehicles is linked to the economic activity which is showing signs of growth constraint.

 

Tightening liquidity is a key negative for the commercial vehicles demand since increase in interest rates impacts demand for commercial vehicles. Nearly 98% of truck sales in India are dependent on bank funding. Decelerating Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growth also indicates that truck demand might slow down. Historically seen, growth in truck sales is highly correlated to growth in IIP. Given the high inflation-high interest rate scenario, it is widely believed that the IIP growth is likely to stay subdued in the near term.

 

Rising inflation explicitly affects consumption and therefore the freight availability and demand for CVs. Historically, this negative correlation has been witnessed in the past. Recent hike in diesel prices is also going to affect the CV demand. Diesel accounts for more than half of the operating costs for fleet operators. Unlike last year, fleet operators may not be able to pass on the diesel hike as freight volumes are weak and this may adversely impact their ability to buy new trucks.

 

Near term demand outlook for medium and heavy trucks appears to be sluggish. Bus demand, which had been fuelled by the government-led JNNURM scheme, also appears to be tapering off. However, if the infrastructure expending goes up or over loading is banned this will boost up the demand.

 

 

THE SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM OUTLOOK OF THE COMPANY

 

Subject has undertaken various initiatives aimed at enhancing operational and cost efficiencies across various facets of its operations.

 

The company is committed to maximize shareholders’ values by emerging financially strong to insulate itself from any adverse impact in the economy. In the long run, its endeavour will be to ensure that its net worth equals net block.

 

The company is currently focused on expanding its operations and taking the business through an expanding product line and markets, multi location, capacity expansion, technology up gradation and distribution network. Continuous expansion of its product mix is also advantageous to the company, which is all set to diversify into air suspensions, life axles and bogey suspensions.

 

The company has set up a plant in Lucknow and has initiated capacity expansion at Yamuna Nagar and Malanpur to cater to the increasing demand for parabolic springs. Jamshedpur plant which began assembly operation in 2009-10 became a full-fledged manufacturing plant in 2010-11. It also acquired land at Chennai and Hosur to meet the growing demand from leading and new entrants in the OEM sector. The Chennai Plant will manufacture Air Suspension and Lift Axles while Hosur Plant is being set up for leaf and parabolic springs. Both these Plants will be operational from early 2012. Jamshedpur plant which began assembly operation in 2009-10 became a full-fledged manufacturing plant in 2010-11.

 

Subject is continuously striving for market diversification in an effort to strategically extend OEM supplies to its key clients located across India. After Market demand would continue to fuel non-cyclical demand for auto-component companies. After Market demand trajectory would follow an increasing trend due to the robust CAGR in India’s auto sales over past few years. The company has over 1100 dealer network which is being further strengthened to widen its footprints in the segment.

 

 

THE DE-RISKING STRATEGY OF THE COMPANY

 

Since the company’s major sales are to the OEMs, any adverse economic condition could impact CV segment. To counter such adverse industry scenarios, the company has been aggressively trying to increase its presence in the domestic and overseas After Markets and also OEM exports. The company’s goal is to bring down revenue contribution of OEMs from the present 90% to 70% and increase penetration in domestic and export After Market and OEM exports. The company continues to build on its multi-location and multi-product offerings and the goal is to bring down the share of revenue of Leaf Spring to 65%. JAI’s wide distribution and strategic locations gives it logistic advantage and competitive edge in the growing domestic After Market. Going ahead, the overseas After Market is also expected to further help the company de-risk its business. The company has invested heavily in technology to drive competitive edge in the market place. The ongoing R and D initiatives enable it to stay ahead of the demand curve and adapt to the evolving market scenario and demand.

 

 

THE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN THE COMPANY

 

The company places strong emphasis on best practices in corporate governance. SAP has been implemented in its Corporate Office and two main Plants (Malanpur and Chennai). The company has put in strong internal controls with proper schedule of authority. Besides an external Internal Auditor, the company has an independent Internal Audit Department which constantly reviews accounting, legal, safety and environment compliances.
