LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Financials

 

During the year, the Company registered a Total income of Rs.3584.400 Millions as against Rs.3020.600 Millions in the previous year and Profit before Interest, Depreciation, Exceptional Items and tax of 331.400 Millions as against Rs.475.700 Millions in the previous year. The net Loss before Exceptional Items, Taxes and prior period expenses stood at Rs.31.800 Millions. The Total Income of the Company has grown by 19 % over the previous year.

 

Operations

 

During the year, the Company focused on enhancing operational efficiencies - improving yields, lowering rejections and enhancing capacity utilisation and are implementing projects to reduce machine downtime and improve die management. In implementing some of the above projects, there was an initial increase in costs which was compounded by operational problems in heat treatment during Financial Year 2010-11. This has led to inconsistencies in operational performance reflected in quarterly margins for the Indian operations. In order to give a fillip to these efforts, the ‘mentorship’ program, which endeavours to improve the Indian operations to European operational standards, has been strengthened. Joint teams across India and Europe have been formed to improve specific operational areas in India under the guidance of the global Chief Technology Officer (CTO) based out of Europe.

 

The Company’s European operations have substantially optimised costs and considerable success has been achieved in reducing the breakeven.

 

Management Discussion and Analysis

 

Company Overview:

Subject is a global forging company with plants in Germany, UK and India. The Company has grown by a combination of organic and inorganic growth designed to achieve scale, technology and customer reach. Between all its plants, the Company is capable of producing most of the forging components in a car or a truck. The German operations are a full range provider of forging parts while being one of the top axle beam manufacturers in the world. The German operations are the largest and account for more than two thirds of the production of the Company’s revenue. The Indian operations focus on design, development and machining of crankshafts.

 

The Company has created a listed entity that aligns all shareholder interests and makes the structure friendlier to minority shareholders, allowing them to participate in a global business. The consolidated entity is well positioned to make decisions on efficient utilization of resources without any conflict of interests. The present MFL structure is shown in Figure 2 from which it can be observed that the Promoter shareholding stands at 50.67 %.

A large part of the revenues of MFL, Europe (‘MFE’) comes from customers in the truck (CV) segment. MFL India is the largest manufacturer of crankshaft and stub axles for cars/MUVs and tractors in the Indian domestic market. The product portfolios of their Indian and European operations don’t overlap and are complementary in nature.

In Europe, a significant portion of the product portfolio consists of value added products like complex and machined forgings. The Company is sufficiently de-risked through a diversified customer base with the top 5 customers accounting for <50% of the business. Some of the marquee names in the auto industry are its customers with Daimler AG being the largest.

 

In India, more than two thirds of the Company’s revenue comes from the leading car, UV and tractor OEMs of the country. The Company has won the confidence of India’s leading OEMs including M and M and its competition.

 

Industry Outlook and Structure: Better Times Ahead

 

The global economic downturn seems to be behind us with growth returning to all major economies of the world. The developed economies are recovering gradually but the emerging economies are accelerating ahead. The auto industry is also following a similar pattern - the triad markets of North America, Western Europe and Japan are expected to slowly recover back to pre-crisis levels in the next 3-5 years while the emerging markets like India and China are expected to experience double digit growth.

 

Europe:

 

Europe is the largest producer of forgings in the world accounting for roughly a third of the world production. Germany accounts for roughly half of Europe’s production. The auto industry is the prime driver of demand for forgings.

 

Production of heavy trucks (relevant segment for MFL Europe) recovered in FY11 to ~60-65% of the pre-crisis levels (Figure 3). Both exports and the domestic market contributed to the recovery of German heavy truck production. Exports accounted for ~60% of the 115,954 heavy trucks produced in Germany in the calendar year 2010 increasing by 68% over calendar year 2009. In contrast, new registrations grew at a slower rate of ~20% in 2010. Data on heavy truck production for Jan-Mar’11 is yet not available but figures of new registrations suggest that the growth trajectory will be maintained in calendar year 2011 - heavy truck registrations in the first three months of 2011 increased by ~57% over the corresponding period in 2010.

With several countries in the European Union facing fiscal crisis, questions are raised about the sustainability of German manufacturing revival. They are optimistic about the industrial economy in Germany which is the most competitive in the developed world and has a long history of sound technology and disciplined engineering.

 

In Europe, the increasing popularity of diesel-powered cars and four-wheel driven sport utility vehicles is increasing the demand for forgings, while that of lightweight vehicles with lower energy consumption is increasing the demand for lightweight components and non-ferrous forgings. Increasing demand for such components may also require development of different technological capabilities.

 

India:

 

The growth trajectory in the Indian auto industry continued to follow an upward trend in FY11. Compared to FY10, passenger cars and UV production grew by 27%, LCVs by 29% and M/HCVs by 38%. This comes on top of similar growth rates seen last year. There was a slight decrease in growth rates in Q411 with q-o-q growth rates of cars and UVs being 27%, LCVs 17% and M/HCVs 15%. The hike in fuel prices announced recently is also expected to contribute to the slowing down of the growth rates. But all segments are still expected to grow further in FY12 by 10-15%.

The growing domestic auto market is expected to spur the auto components industry in India to a period of intense growth. The Indian auto components industry is expected to grow from INR 130,000 cr (USD 28B) in 2009 to an estimated INR 550000 cr (USD 123B) in 2020 at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% (Figure 4). Exports, while remaining much smaller than domestic demand, are expected to accelerate at a CAGR of 22% in the same period.

 

Operations:

 

They have diverse and complementary manufacturing facilities at ten locations across three countries, with seven plants in Germany, two plants in the UK and one plant in India.

 

Europe:

 

Their facilities include a range of press and hammer lines, hot extrusion presses, upsetters, rotary swaging and friction welding machines. They have presses ranging from 630MT to 12800MT, hammers ranging from 31.5 to 250KJ, extrusion machines ranging from 630 to 1000MT and horizontal upsetters ranging from 900 to 1600MT. The machine shop set up supports customer specific requirements and more than a third of the forged parts are supplied in machined conditions.

 

The Company’s plants in Europe operate at world class levels. The yield % (output to input ratio in terms of tons) at all their plants in Europe exceeded 75% while rejections are less than 3%. The key focus area has been to optimize costs and considerable success has been achieved in reducing the breakeven – pre-crisis EBITDA margins have been achieved at 60% of pre-crisis volumes (Figure 7). In fact, the margins in Q411 would have further improved but for the delay in price increase from key customers to offset the increase in input costs.

 

India:

 

The Indian operations have presses ranging from 1000 to 6300MT which can forge parts in the weight range of 0.5 to 50kg. The wide range of forging presses helps us to provide complementary backup to their customers many of whom depend on us as a single source supplier. They have capability to provide crankshafts and steering knuckles in machined condition to their customers and are in the process of increasing their machining capacity.

The Indian operations continue on their journey to become world class. The die-shop consisting of CNC, EDM, hydraulic and electric discharge die shrinking capacities and the design centre equipped with CAD/CAM facilities have been developed over the years to improve operational capabilities.

 

The Indian operations aim to improve rejection levels, yield and productivity and are implementing projects to reduce machine downtime and improve die management. Die setup time is sought to be reduced by standardizing tooling, dies and packing plates, rationalizing components and redesigning dies and cassettes. Die welding technology has been introduced with help of their German colleagues. This will help in reducing die cost, increasing die life and improving die block machining. They also plan to increasingly use hard dies as against soft dies to increase die life and reduce rejections.

 

In implementing some of the above projects, there was an initial increase in costs which was compounded by operational problems in heat treatment during FY11. This has led to inconsistencies in operational performance reflected in quarterly margins for the Indian operations. These problems have been corrected. In order to have a more structured approach towards operational excellence, the Indian plant has adopted a program called the Mahindra Quality Way. It is being helped in its implementation by the Mahindra Institute of Quality which helps Mahindra Group companies achieve world class operational standards.

 

As reported last year, the Company has a strong focus on new product development. It developed new crankshafts and knuckles both for existing and new auto customers as well as components for the railway, defence and construction equipment industry. The Company won new product development awards from some of its key customers during the year.

 

Sales and Marketing:

 

Most of their customers are OEMs or Tier 1 suppliers. They are setting up a business development structure that covers all Mahindra Systech companies and that will facilitate service to their key customers. Under this structure, key customers dealing with more than one Systech company will have a Systech-wide key account manager. This will enable Systech to take advantage of cross-selling opportunities and establish a stronger relationship with the customers. They also plan to harmonise the efforts of all Systech companies around web presence, collaterals, event planning etc. There are specific initiatives to enhance the capabilities and knowledge of business development associates within Systech. In this regard, a new program management process is being defined which seeks to integrate good project management practices with Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) requirements.

They believe that their sales and marketing capacity enables us to enhance their customer relationships by leveraging their global strengths in the areas of technology, cost and manufacturing capabilities.

 

Financial performance with respect to operational performance:

On a standalone basis, the total income of the Company increased by 19% while profits before interest, depreciation, exceptional items and tax (EBITDA) decreased to 9%. This was on account of the operational issues described earlier in the report.

 

But on a consolidated basis, the total income of the Company increased by 45% in FY11. The EBITDA% on a consolidated basis was at 9%, a big positive swing from negative EBITDA in the previous year mainly on account of sharp economic recovery in Europe and sustained cost reduction measures in European plants.  Information for their Indian and overseas operations are summarized in Figure 10. Revenue generated in India increased by 19% in FY11 while revenue generated overseas increased by 45%.

 

Looking Ahead:

As they begin FY12, they are buoyed by the turnaround in their European operations and challenged by inconsistency in their Indian plant. They will continue the good work in Europe and ensure that they improve upon the profitability that they have already achieved. In India, they aim to correct their problems so that they can utilize the explosive growth the Indian auto industry is experiencing.

 

Systech is driven by the aim to provide the best returns to all stakeholders. They have created an integrated, commonly aligned international management team which can leverage synergies across the different locations. The intent is to fully utilise their wide product portfolio to secure larger orders from clients across different geographies and execute them in the most optimal, cost competitive manner. They are focused on extracting the maximum synergies among their verticals through cross selling, best practice exchange and optimization of production. They provide a diverse range of components and ‘art to part’ promise to their customers along with the highest standard of governance characteristic of the Mahindra Group. Thus they aim to fully unlock the potential of their business and rise to the opportunities that are available to us.

MAHINDRA UNVEILS NEW BRAND POSITION - ‘RISE’

 

Synopsis:

 

·         Mahindra unveils new brand position – Mahindra Rise and new Core Purpose

·         To invest Rs.1200.000 Millions over 3 years towards promotion of the new brand position

·         Mahindra Rise to communicate with one brand voice, one face and one Mahindra core purpose

 

January 17, 2011, Mumbai: The US $ 7.1 billion Mahindra Group, one of India’s leading business houses with a vast global footprint, today announced a new brand position - Rise. The latter represents a new chapter in the history of this iconic 65 year old brand and seeks to communicate the new face of this diversified federation of companies with its increasingly global ambitions.

 

This is the first time Mahindra as a Group which spans everything from Aerospace to Automotive, from farm equipment to IT and logistics, will communicate with one brand voice, one face and one ‘Mahindra’ core purpose.

The Group intends to invest Rs.1200.000 Millions 3 years, in activities related to promotion of the new brand position.

 

“Rise isn’t just a word – it is a rallying cry which enables people to unify around shared ideas, values, principles, a way of life or a common goal. It is a call to see opportunities where others can’t and to set an example for the world. For Mahindra, Rise means achieving world-class standards in everything we do, setting new benchmarks of excellence and conquering tough global markets,” said Mr. Anand Mahindra, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Mahindra Group.

 

“Mahindra has always been known for its ingenuity and never say die spirit. Whether we’re transforming the lives of millions of farmers through our agri-prosperity initiatives, creating green and innovative urban living spaces or investing in new automotive technologies and factories that leave the lowest carbon footprints, Mahindra is many companies with just one purpose: Enabling people to Rise,” he added.

 

Two years ago, Mahindra’s Corporate Brand Council mandated StrawberryFrog, a New York based global advertising agency, to undertake anthropological and semiotic research across India and around the world which enabled it to create this unique positioning.

 

“Rise is a simple yet powerful verb which defines our Group and succinctly sums up the aspirations of our stakeholders and employees. When we spoke to customers across the world, all of them without exception expressed a strong sense of optimism about the future and shared a common desire to Rise, to succeed and create a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. We strongly believe that the Mahindra brand epitomizes what our customers want – a company that empowers them to Rise,” said Mr. Ruzbeh Irani, Executive Vice President - Corporate Strategy, Chief Brand Officer - Mahindra Group and Member of the Group Executive Board.
