LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

During the Year

 

While the Indian economy was still trying to come out from the adverse effects of recessionary trends, which affected the whole world in turn affecting the top line of many of the Indian Companies, the Company’s Total Income stood at Rs.26698.900 Millions, which almost equaled the Company’s income in the previous year. Moreover, in spite of absence of any growth in the turnover, Net Profit before Depreciation and Interest registered an impressive growth of 24%. However, consequent upon the charge of higher depreciation to Profit and Loss Account due to wider Capital goods base, the Net Profit before Tax did decrease marginally from Rs.1173.000 Millions in the previous year to Rs.1047.100 Millions during the year.

 

For the Year

 

a) As a direct result of decline of Profit before Tax during the year, the General Reserve Account is proposed to be credited with Rs.75.700 Millions, which is lesser than the amount of credit accorded in the previous Financial Year.

 

b) Due to similar reason as above, the Credit Balance of Profit and Loss Account proposed to be carried to Balance Sheet is Rs.416.800 Millions, which is lesser than similar balance credited in the previous year.

 

c) Keeping in view the interest of the investors of the Company and to abide by Long Term Dividend Policy of the Company, in addition to an Interim Dividend of Rs.2.00 per share already paid by the Company in March 2011, the Board has recommended further payment of Rs.2.00 per share as Final Dividend also. If the members approve the said recommendation in the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, the aggregate dividend for the Financial Year 2010-11 would be Rs.4.00 per share working out to a 40% Dividend Payout Ratio.

 

OPERATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS

 

The Company has, over the course of the Financial Year, achieved a number of milestones in spite of facing a difficult and complex business and operating environment.

 

STATUS OF DOMESTIC FRONT

 

Several delays in implementation and expansion of the natural gas grid coupled with deteriorating macro-sector business conditions in terms of raw material, inflation and interest rate enhancement, have adversely impacted Indian businesses operating within the pipeline sector.

 

(The Company has seized the opportunity to position itself competitively vis-a-vis these developments by initiating the process of related diversification within the pipeline field, thereby yielding the prospect of considerable synergies in the years to come.)

 

Despite these difficulties, the Company has managed to complete a host of projects on time and within budget. It has also had the privilege to be part of the growth story in terms of the country’s water sector developments. The brief list of Oil and Gas and Water projects successfully completed during the course of the year.

 

In this 25th year of operation, the Company stands as an example of progress in the field of nation building and infrastructure development.

 

PROGRESS ON OVERSEAS FRONT

 

A) North America Project

 

Upon successful completion of its maiden order within the continental United States, as indicated in last year’s Annual Report, PSL North America LLC has commenced efforts to enhance its reach within the North American gas pipeline markets and also the water and structural pipe segments of the North American market. In spite of adverse business condition coupled with a depressed natural gas price environment, PSL North America has successfully secured and executed several smaller pipeline projects and is well positioned, at the time of this report, for securing two major gas pipeline projects where its bids have been evaluated and found competitive.

 

PSL North America’s quality record has been appreciated in view of the fact that ‘zero’ failures have occurred under field hydro-testing conditions of its supplied pipes. This is despite an extremely stringent quality assurance and testing procedure imposed on United States pipeline projects by PHMSA (Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration).

 

Prospects of an improvement in the natural gas pipeline industry segment within the North American market are bright because of the new development ‘Shale Gas’ discoveries. This newly developing component of the natural gas industry is likely to provide a growth impetus to pipe manufacturers within the continental USA.

 

B) UAE Project

 

The Company’s associate in the UAE – PSL FZE has seen a veritable turnaround in market prospects in the Middle East over the past year, culminating in securing its single largest order from the Saudi Saline Water Commission for high grade steel pipe amounting to approximately US$ 80 Million in value. To cater to this enhanced demand, the Company has decided to enhance its capacity and prepare to meet related demands from Middle East and North African clients in the coming years. 

 

The Company is active in providing anti-corrosion and negative buoyancy services to the offshore pipe industry in the gulf which has seen a strong revival with both gas and oil offshore construction being stimulated by prevailing higher crude oil prices.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Consequent upon collapse in the global businesses and international trade due to major financial crisis in the period 2007-09, the Indian economy also had an adverse impact although much lesser in quantum than that for major developed countries of the world. Hence, as compared to many other economies of the world, their economy could sustain itself not only during the peak of the crisis period but even in the two succeeding financial years i.e. 2009-10 and 2010-11 during which the ripple effect of the crisis continued. Again, in spite of the fact that the three successive years i.e. 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010- 11 witnessed erratic agricultural growth and its direct and indirect adverse effect on the economy, it could generally grow at approximatley 8% in 2010-11 if the Government statistics are to be believed. The medium to long term prospect of the economy including the Industrial Sector continued to be positive in spite of a little declaration in Industry and Manufacturing Sectors. The GDP could grow as a direct result of rise in savings and investments coupled with enhanced consumption. Although, inflationary trends were witnessed but the focus of such inflationary pressures remained generally driven by food items pushing the inflation to elevated levels for a large part of the Financial Year, 2010-11. In spite of adequate movement in prices of crude oil mainly caused by political turmoil in the Middle East, exports could improve and imports did take a dip resulting into an appreciable balance of payment position.

 

With the aforesaid background of Global as well as Indian economy, one can confidently say that as the global economy gradually returns to normalcy and achieve pre-recession status, the future of Indian economy will also gradually improve thereby pushing the Manufacturing Sector in general and Pipe making Industry in particular.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

In accordance with the reports released by various surveys, the Indian Pipe Industry is still considered among the top threemanufacturing hubs with Japan and Europe being the other two. However, since the Indian economy picked up the momentum much later as compared to US and rest of the world, the penetration level of Pipeline and Oil and Gas transportationin India is far lower being just 32% as compared to 59% in USA and 79% in Europe. While such a situation could be considered dismal as far as the past of the Pipeline Industry is concerned, the same statistical fact can prove a big boom for the Industry since the lower penetration in the past has automatically resulted into higher scope for growth of Pipe making Industry in future.

 

A) OPPORTUNITIES

 

Based on reports of a survey, the Pipe line Projects identified for the current year alone will require an aggregate of 700,000 tonnage out of which the Water Sector alone will require approximately 577,000 tonnes of Pipeline. 

 

While continuing the subject of "Opportunities for Pipeline Industry" Government of India is aiming to add 11 million hectares of irrigational facilities entailing an investment of Rs.1.580 billion just for the XIth Five Year Plan. Again, in order to reduce the imports of crude oil, Government has formulated a New Exploration Licensing Policy for exploration and production of oil and gas. The National Gas Grid requiring an investment of Rs.210 billion is being set up and mega private players like Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and Cairn has shown adequate interest in setting up of Pipe infrastructure for oil and gas transport. On the City gas front, the required Pipeline is already available in 10 cities. However, in the next five years, the coverage is expected to grow to 100 cities entailing an investment of Rs.250-300 million.

 

B) THREATS

 

The Pipeline Industry suffers from some major threats. Firstly, this industry is highly raw material intensive with the raw-material cost accounting for more than 70% of the total cost of the Pipe. Secondly, freight is another major concern as due to higher imports of the heavy raw material comprising of HR Coil and the export of Pipes manufactured after conversion of HR Coil the freight cost in this industry is exorbitant and so becomes another major cost element in the landed cost of the pipes at the customer's destination. Thirdly, the frequent fluctuation in the international prices of H.R. coil further affected by frequent adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange result into making the Pipe making Business as a whole as a business which is subjected to many factors not within the control of individual enterprises.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The clouds of global recession, which made the whole world suffer, are slowly and slowly getting cleared from the sky of uncertainties. As a result of such pleasant developments, Indian economy is looking forward for playing a vital role in the world economy with each of its three important Sectors namely Agricultural, Manufacturing and Services playing a significant role in contributing their respective might to boost the GDP of the country.

 

Regarding the Company's own outlook, it can confidently claim that the high-tech State of the Art Plant set up by Company's Subsidiary namely, 'PSL North America LLC' at St. Bay Louise near Gulf of Mexico has established itself very well in the North America particularly after very successfully completing the first major Project awarded to it by Florida Gas Company. While few competitors have come on the US Pipeline Industry map, huge demand arising in North America as a result of Gas and Oil Policies followed by US administration post the infamous gas leak is a big hope for Company's US establishment.

 

On the Middle East front, while at the Plant established by Company's Subsidiary at Hamriya Free Trade Zone in Sharjah, UAE, another Pipe Mill is being added to it has, after successfully completing an earlier prestigious Order awarded by Multinational Construction Company has bagged another Saudi Arabian Order worth US$ 80 Million, which shall be adequate enough to keep the Plant in full operation for the entire Current Financial Year.

 

The outlook on domestic front is also encouraging as apart from prestigious orders bagged by the Company from Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) and National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) in the recent past, many more Pipeline Projects have been bid by the Company and it is hoped that based on its strategic planning of establishing Pipe Mills at different strategic locations of the country, Company will be successful in bagging many of the Projects bid by it.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

With the wide network of Plants, Branches and Offices of the Company across the length and breadth of the Country, it is important that apart from achievement of good performance of the various production facilities, excellent financial performance of each Unit is also achieved. While adequate decentralization of powers at Plants and Branches level has been resorted to, all crucial decisions pertaining to operation as well as finance are taken at Company's Headquarters at Mumbai. The centralized purchase of the major raw-materials and the centralized fund raising exercise at Headquarters level has indeed proved beneficial to the Company as both these areas are fairly sensitive keeping in view the peculiar nature of Company's operations. As an on going exercise continuous planning by senior personnel based at Headquarters in Mumbai with respect to crucial operational matters goes a long way in exercising strict cost controls eventually resulting into profit maximization.

Kochi-Koottanad-Bangalore-Mangalore Gas Pipeline (KKBMPL) Project

PSL Limited, a global leader in manufacturing and coating of pipes, today announced that after successful completion of the 130 km., 30-inch and 18-inch diameter, Dabhol-Bangalore Pipeline Project, it has been awarded with an order for supply of line pipe and three-layer polyethylene (3LPE) coating for GAIL’s KKBMPL project. PSL shall be supplying 24-inch diameter pipe conforming to API 5L X-70 and X-80 Grades out of its Chennai and Visakhapatnam pipe mills.

The total order value stands at approximately Rs.75.300 Millions, and the total length of pipe to be supplied is an estimated 735 km. Both PSL’s Chennai and Vizag pipe mills are in close proximity to the pipeline’s right-of-way (ROW), which enabled the company to offer competitive prices. PSL has developed numerous state-of-the-art API-certified pipe mills and onshore coating plants across the country, and it is found that this regionally-distributed capacity-readiness has provided the best economical and logistical solution to clients, ensuring faster delivery of high-quality products during the order-fulfilment process.

Commenting on these developments, PSL Limited MD, Ashok Punj, stated “The recent orders we have secured from GAIL have special significance for PSL as a company, since they stand as a testament to our capability as a key enabler of India’s gas pipeline and infrastructure projects. PSL has steadily built its strong supply-chain capabilities over time, and therefore looks forward to ever-enhancing participation in the development of the nation’s energy grid and oil and gas network”.

The pipe supply contract’s technical delivery conditions include usage of high-end pipe manufacturing technology, viz. X-70 and X-80 Grades (signifying a minimum yield-strength of 70,000 psi and 80,000 psi). PSL has been partnering with GAIL since inception, and was the sole pipe-coater for the 1,760 km. Hazira-Bijaipur-Jagdishpur (HBJ) pipeline, the first major gas pipeline project in India.

With proactive initiatives of GAIL in successive creation of India’s pipeline infrastructure, PSL is confident of meeting the pipe supply requirements of GAIL and other customers conforming to the most stringent specifications. Following the receipt of these new orders, the order book for the company now stands at Rs. 2200 crore, with several tenders bid, under evaluation, and awaiting award.

Cape Argus (South Africa)

Muhsin Ertugral will today be named as the new head coach of Golden Arrows.

Ertugral, who has |previously coached Kaizer Chiefs, Santos and Ajax Cape Town in the PSL, replaces Manqoba Mngqithi, who was last week fired by the Durban side.

The 52-year-old Ertugral spent last season coaching in Turkey, where he was in charge of Sivasspor.

The wily coach has extensive knowledge of the South African game - and is certain to bring his unique style and approach to Arrows. The Durban club is currently third-from-bottom on the PSL log, which means Ertugral has quite a job on his hands.

Cape Argus (South Africa)
27 September 2011

In football, in sport and in life, it's always critical to remain grounded.

Allow overconfidence and |arrogance to simmer, and there's likely to be a vicious curve ball coming your way.

In contrast, remain humble and focus on the job at hand, and the game has its eventual rewards.

Ajax Cape Town coach Maarten Stekelenburg is well aware of this and he has impressed on his squad that, |having played just six games of the new PSL season, they have achieved nothing as yet.

In fact, for the Dutch coach, there is still lots of room for improvement.

Ajax are in Durban this evening to take on winless AmaZulu at the Moses Mabhida Stadium (kick off 7.30pm) - and they are keeping their feet firmly on the ground. There's certainly no complacency or chest-thumping swagger because they have won their last three fixtures - against Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns and Free State Stars.

"I'm happy with the way we |performed against Stars last Friday," said Stekelenburg. "We were dominant in possession and we held on to the ball for long periods. The confidence in the team is growing, and the desire to play well against AmaZulu tonight will be there.

"But it's still all about hard work. The league season is long and another loss or two could easily set us back again. So the important thing is to keep doing what we do best, which is to play football, and remain focused on what we want to achieve in the long run."

Ajax earlier this week confirmed that they have signed defender |Keamogetse Wolff.

Originally from Bloemfontein, the 23-year-old has played for Bloemfontein Celtic and Jomo Cosmos in the PSL, and has has represented South Africa at U-20 and U-17 level.

Having convinced Stekelenburg of his quality after training with the Cape club for about a month, the defender has been offered a one-year contract with a two-year option.

In Ajax's favour for tonight is the fact that they have great record against AmaZulu. Since the inception of Ajax in 1999, the two clubs have played each other 16 times in the league. Ajax have won 10, AmaZulu three, and three were drawn.

Last season, Ajax beat the Durbanites both home and away.

This time around, AmaZulu are in deep trouble, but therein lies the |problem for Ajax. A struggling team is a desperate team. And a desperate team is a dangerous team.

AmaZulu have appointed Swede Roger Palmgren as head coach after giving Manqoba Mngqithi the boot.

Palmgren had a disappointing start to his tenure, seeing his team |hammered 3-1 by Bidvest Wits over the weekend. The coach, though, is confident he can get things to turn.

"There is pressure in every game you play and this one will be no different," Palmgren said on the PSL's |website. "It will be the same tonight. The message is quite clear to my team.... being anxious is natural, but then the players know one win can change things. Hopefully that will come against Ajax.

"Ajax are a good team who are in great form, but we have to look at |ourselves first. We'll have a specific plan to counter their game. They have a good system which they use to move the ball around and move their players backwards and forward.

"My players are aware of it, but the emphasis should be more on getting our systems to run better, both defensively and offensively."
