LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Global and Indian Industry scenario

 

The global “Great Recession” during the year 2009 shook up the global Semiconductor industry in a major way but the year 2010 has brought in a lot of confidence to the Semiconductor industry and to the global economy as a whole.

 

The Semiconductor industry has risen by 31.8% in the year 2010. The outlook for the year 2011 looks promising with a 9% growth predicted; global Semiconductor revenues are expected to reach US$ 325 Billion up from US$ 298 Billion in 2010.

 

Of the total revenues forecasted for the year 2011, about 40 percent can be attributed to the computing industry, which accounted for sales of $113 Billion. The rapidly growing smart phone segment accounted for about $80 Billion in sales in 2010 and is expected to grow although there is pressure on price points to remain low.

 

There are huge growth opportunities for the electronic industry in India, but there have been some missed opportunities in the past decade. So, while the future holds a lot of promise, they need to address existing challenges in infrastructure, taxation, supply chain and logistics, labour laws, R and D and funding.

 

SPEL performance during the year

 

The Company still continues to be First and only Semiconductor IC Assembly and Test production facility. It is continuously maintaining this position despite the market fluctuations and other external factors. SPEL continues to be a trusted and strategic contract manufacturing partner for many of the world’s leading Semiconductor companies.

 

The Company had invested around Rs.60.000 millions during the 1st Quarter, to address (a) Production bottlenecks to improve productivity (b) Modernization of equipment for enhanced product mix and (c) equipping itself for future expansions. This would enable SPEL to address increased outsourcing from present and potential Customers during FY 2011-12.

 

Various cost and energy saving measures initiated during FY 2009-10 have started producing positive results. Due to these proactive approaches and manpower rationalization SPEL effectively handled the pricing pressures that resulted from the recession and emerged with reduced impact.

 

The Computing segment reported a sliding trend in the US and Europe during Q2 FY 2010-11. However, SPEL was able to maintain revenues during this quarter due to its balanced exposure across Communications, Computing and Consumer Electronics. The impact on sales was mainly due to the comparable impact on volatile foreign currency parity. It was also due to change in pattern of raw material consumption of smaller pin count packages, without corresponding price increase. The rising power and diesel cost is a major cause for concern.

 

Rise of gold prices has propelled the Company towards investment in copper-process tools. SPEL will place most of its above expansion on leading-edge process and cooper-interconnect process capacities, both of which are estimated to boost the Company`s revenue and earnings during FY 2011-12.

 

Towards the beginning 2011 SPEL started investing Rs. 220.000 millions in production equipment which will increase its capacity. Funded by a term loan from nationalized banks, this expansion is primarily on leading-edge process and copper-interconnect capacities. The additional capacity will be available from 1st quarter of FY 2011-12, fetching increased sales and enabling SPEL to further diversify package and market base.

 

The Management with its strong commitment and extensive support from its Employees, Suppliers and Customers, has continued to maintain its position as Profit Making Company, despite the Global Slowdown and Economic Crisis.

 

Financial Performance

 

Sales of the Company for current year have increased by 4.78% over the previous year. Increased expenditure on manpower, power, marketing expenses, other overheads, which were necessitated due to operational growth, had an impact on contribution. All the package lines of the Company are in good demand and are expected to increase the contribution in future years.

 

Emphasis on Value system

 

The Company has adopted the following as its Core Values. Management is highly committed to put in practice all these to make sure that they understand the values that they are into. Training sessions are conducted every  month to make all the Employees aware of the Core Values. All the Employees attend this program at least once in six months and put it to practice

 

a. Business Ethics : defines us as a Company

b. Professionalism : defines us as individuals

c. Citizenship : defines their contribution to society

 

Socio Economic Concept (SEC)

 

Understanding human behavior and tuning it towards self-disciplined citizen underlines the concept of the SEC being implemented in the Company. Employees were given to apprehend their roles as an individual and his/her responsibility to bring up fellow citizen so as to make the Country proud. SPEL appreciates its Employees commitment and complements them by assisting their growth to become future leaders.

Management Discussion and Analysis

 

Business Environment

 

The Global Semiconductor sales for the year 2010 were US$ 298.3 Billion, an increase of 31.8% compared to 2009 sales of US$ 226.3 Billion. However, sales declined by 3 percent in Dec 2010 compared with a month earlier. This is due to the inventory correction.

 

Overall, Asia-Pacific region represented 54 percent of global Semiconductor sales, while the Americas accounted for 18 percent of the sales.

 

India and China, two of the key emerging markets drive a lot of demand. In addition to purchasing consumer items such as handsets and computers, both regions continue to invest in wired and wireless infrastructure. These investments in infrastructure create demand for a broad range of Semiconductor products. With improving consumer confidence and purchasing power the Semiconductor industry is well positioned for growth in 2011. The Semiconductor Industry Association predicts a 9% sales growth for the year 2011.

 

Impact of the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami on the Semiconductor market in 2011

 

In the longer term, they believe the impact is not likely to be significant in terms of the worldwide Semiconductor   market. Since the industry is not running at full capacity (93.1% IC capacity utilization in 4Q of CY 2010 according to SICAS), most short term Semiconductor capacity loss in Japan can be made up elsewhere – although likely by competing companies. Many Japanese companies are still major suppliers of electronics, but much of their manufacturing has been moved to other parts of Asia (especially China) or closer to the final consumer (as with most Japanese automakers).

 

Although the situation in Japan is unique, other disasters (natural or man-made) have affected the industry in the short term but have not had significant effects in the longer term.

 

Global Trend for SPEL’s package lines

 

Global volume and revenue forecast for Integrated Circuits are as below.

 

The outlook for the year 2011 looks promising with a 9% growth predicted; global Semiconductor revenues are expected to reach US$ 325 Billion up from US$ 298 Billion in 2010. Digitimes Research, also forecast that the market for outsourced IC backend services will continue growing in 2011 to account for more than 50% of the total market, while the IDM segment is expected to carry on its slide.

 

As the Company’s share in the global volumes and revenues is small, there is a good potential for increasing the volumes and revenues by widening the Product Portfolio, Customer base and further enhancing the QCDS (Quality, Cost, Delivery and Service) factors

 

PC Market

 

Consumption has been below expectations, and the enterprise PC replacement cycle has weakened. In 2011, Semiconductor revenue from PCs is projected to decline 3.25% to $62 Billion. The decline is the result of reduced DRAM prices in 2011. Revenue for other PC Semiconductor components, including CPUs, will increase.

 

Mobile Phones

 

The outlook for mobile phone production has improved. Overall Semiconductor revenue from mobile phones is on pace to total $48.7 Billion in 2010, a 23.2% increase from 2009. In 2011, worldwide Semiconductor revenue from mobile phones is projected to reach $55.4 Billion,a 13.6% increase from 2010.

 

Smart Phones

 

However, some of this slowdown is being made up for by stronger-than-expected sales of media tablets. From an application perspective, smart phones, mobile PCs and media tablets will fuel Semiconductor growth through 2014. Media tablets are seeing rapid growth due to the success of the Apple iPad, market will continue to see strong growth with greater competition in this space. Gartner estimates that Semiconductor revenue from media tablets will grow from $2.4 Billion in 2010 to $17.8 Billion in 2014.

 

SPEL Volume and Revenue Growth

 

Volume and Revenue for FY 2010-11 saw an increase of 19.24 percent and 6.12 percent respectively.

 

The increased volume and revenue is due to increased demand for the Semiconductor products after the recession in 2009. With the increased demand the quarterly revenue increased by 10% Q-O-Q steadily. The increased gap between the volume and the revenue is due to the reduced ASP.

 

Outlook

 

The global Semiconductor sales declined by around 9% in 2009. However, the market has seen an improved scenario in 2010 on account of trailing crisis from later 2009. The Semiconductor industry has risen by 31.8% in the year 2010 and expected to grow at 9% for the year 2011 with revenue of $ 325 Billion. Of the total revenues forecasted for the year 2011, about 40 percent can be attributed to the computing industry, which accounted for sales of $113 Billion. The rapidly growing smart phone segment accounted for about $80 Billion in sales in 2010 and is expected grow although there is pressure on price points to remain low, especially on cellular base band and connectivity chipsets.

 

Semiconductor sales in growth areas such as media tablets, e-readers and LED/LCD TVs is offsetting flat or decreased revenue from more traditional devices such as DVD players and game consoles. Overall, it is expected that the consumer industry will grow by another 10 percent in 2011.

 

Growth in automotive and industrial segments is expected to top 10 percent in 2011. Sectors comprising this segment include high growth areas such as infotainment, safety and diagnostic systems, engine control, energy/battery management, M2M communications, smart grid, LED lighting, and factory automation.

 

At the regional level Asia-Pacific will account for more than half of the Semiconductor market by the end of forecast period. Countries such as India and China will fuel demand for Semiconductors in Asia-Pacific in coming years.

SPEL’s Q1 FY 2011-12 Results

 

Jul 27, 2011

 

 

Announcing its results for Q1 FY 2011-12, SPEL reported sales of 191.400 millions ( 227.000 millions for Q4 FY 2010-11), with a PAT of 7.814 millions ( 10.800 millions for Q4 FY 2010-11). Although sales were lower in comparison to the previous quarter, SPEL retained profitability considering higher Deprecation and Interest costs, Customer and Vendor pricing pressures. Declining demand due to a steep drop in the Computing segment also contributed to lower sales during the quarter.

 

 

 

SPEL is exploring various avenues for maximizing sales ; these include growing with existing Customers and securing new Customers. Progress is also being made towards increasing sales within non-US markets.

 

 

 

 SPEL has also been driving several cost reduction initiatives. These include going after low cost financing and importantly alternate low-cost sources of power. These efforts would contribute a substantial role in improving performance.

 

 

 

According to market research, overall Semiconductor revenue for Q2 FY 2011-12 is expected to increase by over 5% Q-o-Q. Historically, Q2 is the strongest quarter for the Semiconductor industry which will boost demand across the entire Semiconductor supply chain. This is expected to continue going forward as well.

 

 

 

SPEL was encouraged to note about the Government of India’s initiatives to boost Semiconductor Manufacturing within the country. This is considering the increasing electronics demand within India. An important suggestion however is that while focus is currently only on Fab, it’s important to also focus on Semiconductor Assembly and Test, which is an integral part of the electronics value chain. It is hoped that the Government also puts initiatives in place for Semiconductor Assembly & Test.

 

 

 

Having completed 26 years of business success, SPEL steadily continues its journey while remaining the sole Semiconductor Assembly and Test Company in India.
