LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

BACKGROUND

 

Subject was incorporated on March 1, 2004 by converting the erstwhile partnership firm Gokaldas India under Part IX of the Companies Act, 1956. Pursuant to the order of the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka dated November 20, 2004, Gokaldas Exports Private Limited and The Unique Creations (Bangalore) Private Limited have been amalgamated with the Company, with April 1, 2004 being the appointed date. The Company currently operates a 100% Export Oriented Unit, a Domestic Tariff Area Unit and a Special Economic Zone Unit.

 

The Company is engaged in the business of design, manufacture and sale of a wide range of garments for men, women and children and caters to the needs of several leading international fashion brands and retailers. The principal source of revenue for the Company is from export of garments and related products.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

Subject, on a consolidated basis, has reported a total sales of Rs.10818.800 millions in 2010-11 as against Rs.10723.900 millions in 2009-10 representing a growth of 1% over 2009-10.       

 

The demand situation in the global apparel industry has not improved significantly during the year. Economic conditions across their major markets in Europe and USA continue to be relatively uncertain, affecting consumer confidence. Global retailers are hence cautious in placing orders. High volatility in raw material prices has been an additional cause of concern during the financial year. Consumers are looking for “value for money” products and global companies are stressing on controlling costs and reducing inventories.

 

There has been a decline in garments export from India to the tune of 6.2% in 2010, which reflects the weak global demand.

 

Their Company has been able to show nominal growth in sales turnover in these difficult trading conditions. This has been achieved through initiatives of new customer acquisition and shift to higher value products. Besides, they adopted renewed focus on enhancing their business with Indian retailers.

 

In addition to the market situation, some of the other environmental factors which have affected their financial performance have been volatile cotton prices, surge in wage rates and other operating costs driven by domestic inflation, reduction in export benefits and currency appreciation. The impact of these factors is discussed in the following sections.

 

The increase in raw material cost, labour costs and other operating expenses have not resulted in increased   product prices due to overall depressed demand situation, adversely affecting their margins.

 

This unprecedented escalation in cotton prices have resulted in a commensurate increase in fabric prices.

 

Appreciating Rupee has been another key factor affecting profitability of all exporters. The Rupee-US Dollar parity has moved in favor of the Rupee by 4.6% between June 2010 and March 2011. Trend of Re-USD and Re-Euro for past two years is given alongside.

 

There have also been certain changes in the exports incentives given by the Government of India during the year. Pursuant to this, there has been reduction in export benefits for the Apparel Industry. This change has hurt the competitiveness of the exporters in the industry vis-ŕ-vis other countries.

 

Their efforts on working capital management have been fruitful during the year. They have achieved a reduction of Rs.283.200 millions in Secured Loans, which has come down from Rs.3448.900 millions as of March 31, 2010 to Rs.3165.700 millions as of March31, 2011. Inventory holding period has also been reduced by 22% from 207 days in 2009-10 to 161 days in 2010-11 Similarly, Sundry Debtors have also come down by 13%.

 

In April 2010, there was a fire incident in one of their warehouses against which they had lodged an insurance claim for Rs.376.400 millions. The Insurance Company settled this claim for Rs.323.300 millions, resulting in a one – time loss of Rs.53.100 millions in 2010-11.

 

For the year 2011-12, they have undertaken certain key measures to improve their performance. Some of these are – focus on increasing share  with existing customers and realizing better value, new customer acquisition, improving manufacturing efficiencies and sustaining the focus on tighter financial management. These initiatives along with improved productivity measures will help us post better results in the coming year.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Subject is one of the apparel exporters of India serving global retailers. It is a ISO 9001:2001 certified company, with proven manufacturing, marketing, product design and development capabilities. It has more than 30 operating units spread across three States of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh manufacturing around 2.5 million garments per month.

 

Subject has a diversified product portfolio across various categories of garments for men, women and children.

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

Their key markets continue to be USA and Europe, although the share of sales to the Indian retail sector is growing significantly.

 

The recovery in the global economy continues to be weak. Economic scenario in USA and Europe reflect uncertainty in the wake of the public debt crisis. This could adversely affect growth and market demand in those markets unless appropriately addressed in an expeditious manner. Retail sales as well as retail prices are therefore, likely to be subdued, in the context of lower consumer confidence.

 

The customers are looking for “value for money” products. This has prompted companies globally to work on strategies for controlling costs and reducing inventories resulting in lower demand situation and stagnant prices. Further, this year saw brands and manufacturers reeling under the pressure of unprecedented increase in raw material prices as well as spiraling operating costs on account of inflationary situations in all Asian economies.

 

The Indian Economy, however, has been strong this year too. Though there are concerns of high inflation resulting in restrictive monetary policies – RBI has increased repo rates by a cumulative of 325 basis points since April 2010, the consumer sentiment has been positive. However, going forward there are questions on sustainability of this growth trend.

 

In this backdrop, countries like Bangladesh and Vietnam, with lower cost structures, have been able to increase their market share in USA and Europe. In addition, some of these nations have been benefited by preferential trade agreements which enhance their competitive position. Further, as a part of the Central Government initiative to withdraw the “stimulus” package, export incentives available to this sector have been reduced, eroding the competitiveness as well as profitability of the Indian apparel exports industry.

Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India has warned banks for taking customers for granted by manipulating interest rates on the floating rates loans. The Apex bank also wants banks to voluntarily waive the prepayment penalty on home loans. However, Banks and RBI both mutually agreed to outlaw prepayment fees on floating rate home loans as one the 10-point action to improve customer services. KC Chakrabarty, deputy governor of RBI said 'Banks had agreed...now they have a problem. We are giving them some time but we are very clear that this 10-point action plan has to be implemented,' Many banks are charging around 2% of the outstanding loans if the borrower wants to repay before the due date. However, leading commercial banks from public and private sector such as State Bank of India and Axis Bank have stopped charging prepayment fees. The RBI governor D Subbarao also had indicated that the RBI will pursue banks to waive off the prepayment penalties as soon as possible. However, he also hinted that the banking system should get time to adjust with this, and RBI will give banks some time for adjusting. At the same time, the RBI in its mid-year monetary policy review has expressed its discomfort about old floating rate customers getting a raw deal whereas new customers are offered a better rate; however, both have got the same rating. In a statement, the RBI said that there are instances where the spread charged to a customer has been revised upward frequently during the tenure of the floating rate loan. The RBI find this practice as discriminating in nature as the existing customer are at disadvantage compare to the new customer with the same credit rating. Especially in case of home loans where banks kept offering attractive rates to new customers whereas old customers pay a higher rate. To bring uniformity in differential rates RBI said that it is setting up a working group which will look into the 'principles governing proper, transparent and non-discriminatory pricing of credit.

GOKALDAS EYES MEGA WAL-MART CONTRACT

MUMBAI: Private equity giant Blackstone-controlled apparel exporter Gokaldas Exports is set for new business contracts with the world's largest retailer Wal-Mart and niche European fashion houses who are shifting a part of their sourcing requirements from China to other Asian markets.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc is expected to land a six million pieces annual order while making it one of the largest clients for the Bangalore-based Gokaldas, said a company executive on condition of anonymity.

German outdoor and leisure clothier Jack Wolfskin, US-based Sports Authority Inc and Tailor Vintage are some of the fashion enterprises that are talking to the Indian exporter as they seek wider sourcing footprint.

Rising labour costs, high inflation and appreciating yuan have prompted several global retailers to move some part of their sourcing from China, which is sitting on $90 billion worth apparel exports annually.

"Wal-Mart is stepping up apparel sourcing from India, which, till now, was not very significant and mostly in hosiery and undergarments," said a senior executive at one of the export firms that competes with Gokaldas.

Gokaldas Exports CEO Gautam Chakravarti could not be reached for comments.

These moves come at a time when India's$13 billion apparel export industry has faced fierce competition from more aggressive players in Bangladesh and Vietnam. The domestic garment export leaders, including Gokaldas, have struggled in scaling up the business--with hardly 6-7 local firms having annualized revenue in excess of Rs.3000.000 millions. The Rs11420.000 millions Gokaldas vies with Shahi and Orient Craft as the largest domestic apparel exporters. It has around 34,000 employees working on 320 production lines across 32 factories in India.

Wal-Mart's order for its mainstay US operations could be in range of $35-40 million (around Rs.1750.000 millions) annually and would absorb utilization of three factories, said the company source mentioned earlier. Nike and Abercrombie are among the biggest clients of Gokaldas. The company's top eight clients account for roughly 80% of its annual revenue. Gap Inc and Nike alone accounted for almost 50% of Gokaldas revenue when Blackstone acquired it four years ago.

Some industry experts speaking on condition of anonymity argued that Gokaldas may be looking at capacity utilization rather than value in its deal with Wal-Mart, which is known for driving down costs. Gokaldas has also been at work to increase or renew business with high value fashion retailers like Abercrombie and Diesel in a bid to shore up overall margins that are still in high single digits.

INDIA'S GARMENT MAKERS FLOCK TO DHAKA

COIMBATORE: When B Jaichand found it difficult to get workers to start a large unit for making garments in Tirupur two years ago, he decided to open a factory in Bangladesh . His Jay Jay Mills already had units in Sri Lanka but the island nation no longer enjoyed duty-free concessions in major export markets . Besides duty-free benefits for the European market, Bangladesh offered a readily available workforce at wages about half of India's.

Chennai-based Ambattur Clothing also took the same route to Bangladesh in 2007. Nearly 50% of its $140 million exports are now done out of Bangladesh even as the share of shipments from Indian units dwindled to 25%. From just about 500 workers, the company, which also has a presence in the Middle East, now employs about 4,000 persons in Bangladesh.

The labour crunch is pushing exporters to Bangladesh, which has emerged as an attractive destination for producing garments. Indian garment makers have invested about $33 million (around Rs.1650.000 millions) in Bangladesh since 2006, Bangladesh's Board of Investment data said.

Interestingly, Bangladesh surpassed India's garment exports only a couple of years ago and has been consistently recording double-digit growth.

"The dearth of labour made us look outside Chennai. Production costs are 25-30 % lower in Bangladesh," says Vijay Mahtaney, MD, Ambattur Clothing. This would translate into profit margins of about 10%. This is significant for garment exporters who operate with just 4-5 % profit margins. Garments sold from India also attract 8-9 % import duties while Bangladesh enjoys duty-free status in many developed markets including Europe.

"The competition for labour is very high here. Labour costs have become prohibitive for a large factory," Jaichand says.

Jay Jay employs about 1,500 persons at its Bangladesh factories, which would have the most number of workers once expansion projects are completed. Currently, it employs about 3,000 workers in India and nearly 4,000 persons in Sri Lanka.

While workers get about $120 (around Rs 5,900) a month as wages here, it is only $60-70 a month in Bangladesh. "A lot of manpower-intensive work is done in our Bangladesh factories ," says Jaichand. Though wages account for only about 20% of overall production costs, finding workers for factories with over 1,000 machines has become a tough task in India, he says.

Jay has already put in about half of its planned $10 million investments in Bangladesh , which accounts for 10% of its total production now. The company aims to get 30-40 % of its production from Bangladesh in the next five years.

The Bangladeshi odyssey, however, is not entirely a hassle-free one for firms. Apart from the export processing zones, power supply is erratic and transportation is slow due to bad roads. A consignment from Dhaka to Chittagong port, which should take only 4-5 hours, often takes two days to reach the destination. Worse still, companies have to contend with thefts as well. Moreover, not everyone is convinced with the low-cost Bangladesh story.

"There would be no significant advantage as buyers would quote only a Bangladesh price for orders," says Gautam Chakravarti, CEO, Gokaldas Exports, the country's largest garment exporter.

Global buyers quote up to 25% lower prices for low-end garments made in Bangladesh and this would take away bulk of the advantage, say industry officials.

But the recent free trade agreement (FTA) between India and Bangladesh has firms looking to source garments from the East for the domestic market. The FTA allows duty free access for 46 textile items produced in Bangladesh, which are 20-25 % cheaper. "There is potential for collaboration and we can take advantage of the new tariff (FTA) regime," Chakravarti says. "Domestic brands would also start sourcing from Bangladesh. The industry would have to move to cost competitive locations," says Mahtaney.
