PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

The Gross sales for the financial year were Rs.8450.000 Millions as against Rs.7790.000 Millions for the previous financial year.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The Chinese and Indian economies have been the fastest economies. However, this has led to inflationary pressures which have forced central bank to raise interest rates. China continues to drive the global steel industry with a production of approximately 630 million tons in 2010 which equates to approx. 45% of global Steel production. Chinese Steel demand continues to be driven by large capital expenditure and government infrastructure projects across the country. However, it is expected that the production growth for steel in the current decade will slow down, which should reduce raw material prices. The Indian economy grew at 8.6% in 2010-11 against 7.2% last year which shows a remarkable growth. The economy is likely to grow at over 8% over the next decade driven by the infrastructure (power, road, railways, ports etc.) and consumption (automobile, real estate etc.) sectors which will result in robust growth in demand for various iron and steel products.

 

India has acquired a central position on the global steel map with its giant steel mills, acquisition of global scale capacities by players, continuous modernization and up gradation of old plants, improving energy efficiency, and backward integration into global raw material sources. Global steel giants from across the world have shown interest in the industry due to its phenomenal performance. For instance - the crude steel production in India registered a year on- year growth of 6.4% in 2010 and reached 66.8 Million Metric Tons. 

 

Given its direct correlation to GDP growth, they expect the Indian steel industry to experience robust growth in the future. They believe the sector’s long term positive indicators will exceed its challenges. Indian steel industry plays a significant role in the country’s economic growth. The major contribution directs the attention that steel is having a stronghold in the traditional sectors, such as infrastructure and constructions, automobile, transportation, industrial applications etc. Moreover, steel variant stainless steel is finding innovative applications due to its corrosion resistive property. According to Fitch Ratings also outlook for Indian steel producers is stable for 2011 in the agency’s published report. The stable outlook is supported by an expected increase in domestic steel demand during the year due to growth in automobiles, white goods and construction sectors coupled with the continuous thrust of the Indian government on infrastructure spending. Fitch expects India’s steel demand to grow at 7%-9% over the next two years.

 

The global stainless steel industry has been witnessing a steady growth for some time now. The quarter by quarter figures have indicated an upward movement in stainless steel production so far for the present financial year. As one of the leading countries catering to the demand for stainless steel, India expects its stainless steel industry to be growing by 10 percent this year. In spite of India’s per capita consumption of Stainless Steel being at 1.1 kg, which is far below the developed world average of 15 kg, there are indications that with the government planning to develop the basic infrastructure considerably, that would be a key factor to increasing consumption. Besides, the growing middle class will support demand for fixed assets such as housing, white goods and automobiles all translating to demand for the product.

 

The company manufactures long products. With increase in demand there is a growth in number of players and capacity too. The company’s endeavour will be to maintain its position in long segment of steel products. Alongside the company also manufactures stainless steel products and has made serious efforts to increase the share of value added products in the total product mix which has not only resulted in increased volume of stainless steel rolled products, but also enabled the company to improve the operating margins.

 

Continuous R and D activities, relentless marketing efforts and strong emphasis on production of quality products have led to substantial increase in the share of stainless steel products as compared to previous year. Looking at the great potential in this segment, as the per capita consumption of stainless steel remains very low as compared to rest of the world, the company will not only strive to further improve the product mix by utilizing existing facilities, but also study option of expanding the capacities of stainless steel / alloy steel.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

 

The long-term outlook for steel production is bright and, according to an Xstrata Plc presentation, should rise by a 3.6% compounded annual growth rate between 2010 and 2020. The medium-term outlook is still uncertain. Arcelor Mittal said that real demand is growing at a slower pace, due to uncertainty over the economic outlook for 2011, in a recent investor presentation. On the positive side, it believes that steel inventories in the US and Europe are at relatively low levels, which will be a positive when demand recovers. The global steel scenario is in favour of steel producers, as restocking in countries such as Europe and North America has led to a recovery in 2010, after the slump in 2009. If there are worries, these are on the raw materials front; both iron ore and coal prices have begun to increase again in recent months. But companies have used the stronger demand environment to hike prices to end users, which should offset the impact of higher costs on margins, to some extent. Companies have also been disciplined in keeping production under check, with utilization falling to the 73%-75% range in the second half of 2010, compared with the highs of 83% seen in April.

 

The Indian steel sector has witnessed a roller coaster ride of late wherein it has witnessed a significant spurt in demand due to expanding oil and gas sector, large infrastructure spending coupled with growth in housing, consumer durables and auto sectors. India became the fourth largest producer of crude steel in the world in 2010 as against the eighth position in 2003 and is expected to become the second largest producer of crude steel in the world by 2015. As per World Steel Association (WSA), India was the fourth largest producer of crude steel during January– September 2010 producing produced 50.1 m tones (MT) crude steel during the period. Currently, with the government’s increased emphasis on infrastructure, they believe the sector is poised for significant growth over the medium to long term. As a matter of fact, India’s per capita steel consumption continues to be low at 46 kg as against the global average of 198 kg. Thus, this further strengthens their belief that the potential ahead for India to raise its steel consumption is high. India also maintained its lead position as the world’s largest producer of direct reduced iron (DRI) or sponge iron. Led by strong demand from robust growth in infrastructure, auto, construction and engineering services, the domestic steel demand in India remains robust. As India is net importer of steel, the outlook for the domestic operating environment is positive.

 

The demand for steel was expected to grow at an annual rate of 8 - 10 percent. But it is unlikely to meet that target. In fact, the demand for steel grew only 1.5 % for the April - June quarter. This was due to slowdown in investment in infrastructure sector which is the primary consumer of steel. Also high inflation coupled with high interest rate did not help the situation. Imports also saw a decline of 52 % over the same quarter of last year.

 

Fitch anticipates domestic steel industry to head for overcapacity over the medium- to long-term. However, 2011 should not be affected by overcapacity as growth in steel consumption is expected to outpace production and delays are expected in Greenfield projects due to regulatory and other issues.

 

However, the stainless steel sector has been growing on the back of thriving and favorable demand from diverse sectors ranging from architecture, building and construction, to automotive, railways and transport to capital goods amongst others. The future demand for stainless steel is also likely to be determined favorably from all these sectors. Increased construction and architectural activities like construction of innumerable shopping malls and housing complexes will boost the demand significantly all over the world, and is likely to be a major contributor to the demand for stainless steel in the near future. Besides growing infrastructural activities in developing nations, the spurt in construction of modern high-rises with state-of-the-art facilities would also pull demand.

 

Stainless steel usage has been growing as it is used extensively in household and lifestyle products as well as in modern amenities, household appliances and a variety of construction items and bathroom fittings. In recent times, a number of architects, structural designers, railway engineers and city planners, are using stainless steel extensively.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

Indian steel producers have had smooth sailing during the last decade, with demand growth far exceeding supply growth. This was due to easy availability of raw materials like coal and iron ore. The dynamics of the business are now changing. Rising raw material shortages are posing a threat to the industry.

 

Coal and iron ore are the two main raw materials used for manufacturing steel. Coal India has reduced linkages to the steel industry in the last few years due to sharply rising demand from priority sectors like power. They have increased the price of coal by almost 35%. The situation is likely to get worse. As large scale power capacities are expected to get commissioned in the coming years, Coal India’s production is unlikely to keep pace with demand.

 

Iron ore production is also on a decline. Partly this is due to increased focus of government agencies in enforcing mining and transportation regulations to curb illegal mining. Production at a number of mines has declined, as they are awaiting renewal of their mining licenses. The prices of Iron ore are skyrocketing. Iron ore mine owners are minting money at the cost of sponge iron industry.

 

Going forward, the slowdown in demand and rising costs may decrease profitability of steel producers. Smaller steelmakers may have to resort to production cuts. The bigger steelmakers will probably slow down capacity additions which were expected to come on stream this year.

 

Recent amendment to mining and mineral act for making it obligatory for mining companies to share 26% of the net profit with the displaced population will adversely impact steel producers profitability. However, by making displaced people stakeholders in the project, land acquisition may become easier and steel producers may be able to get faster access to captive raw materials.

 

The Company’s end products are stainless steel and MS re-bars. Re-bars find its application in construction sector. They foresee a robust growth in infrastructure and construction sector. As regards abnormal high cost of Iron ore, representations are being made to Government at various quarters through association of steel manufacturers etc. Stainless steel is finding innovative applications due to its corrosion resistive property. They see fairly good potential for stainless

 

DISSCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMA NCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The overall operational performance of the company in the current scenario has been satisfactory both in terms of sales and profit as well as compared to the figures for previous year. Sales for the financial year went up to Rs.8452.900 Millions from Rs.7789.800 Millions for the previous financial year registering a modest growth of 8.51 %. EBITDA stood at Rs.674.200 Millions for the financial year as against Rs.526.400 millions for the previous financial year improved by 28.07%. However, interest cost rose significantly on account of hike in the interest rates.

 

FUTURE PLANS

 

Ghaziabad Plant

 

Looking at the robust growth of long products, the company is in the process of enhancing the rolling mill capacity from 125,000 TPA to 175,000 TPA. The project is under implementation in full swing and is expected to complete as per schedule.

 

Looking at the robust growth potential in the stainless steel segment, the company is making efforts to further increase the capacity of stainless steel products as well as a corresponding increase in the rolling mill capacity upto 200,000 TPA. Alongside, modernization of the wire rod mill with a provision of expanding the product range with down stream finishing facilities is also being studied.

 

Orissa Plant

 

The work on the coal mine allotted to the company is progressing well. The company is in the midst of taking various approvals for the same from various departments / ministries.

 

The company is actively pursuing its case for allotment of iron ore mine also on priority. Once the mines become operational, bottom line of the company will improve.

 

In pursuit of its continual growth plans, the company is also looking at various organic and inorganic routes as well not only in the core business of steel but also in minerals development.

ICRA revises ratings of Rathi Steel and Power's bank facilities

10 May 2011

 

India, May 10 -- Credit rating agency, ICRA has revised the long-term rating assigned to Rs3737.600 Millions fund based limits of Rathi Steel and Power (RSPL) from LB+ to LB. The rating agency has also reaffirmed the short term rating of A4 assigned to Rs.455.000 Millions non-fund based limits of the company. The rating revision takes into consideration the continued delays in debt servicing by the company on account of its stretched liquidity profile. The ratings also factor in the high competitive intensity of the steel industry, vulnerability of the company's profitability to raw material price volatility, and its proposed debt funded capex plans, which can impact the debt protection metrics going forward. Rathi Steel and Power is engaged in manufacturing of steel billets, bars and stainless steel wire rods. The company sells its products through more than 800 retail outlets spread across North India, apart from directly selling its products to end users and consignee agents. Rathi Steel fly ash causes woes for locals, temples

02 April 2011

SAMBALPUR, April 2 -- Fly ash emitted from the Rathi Steel and Power at the other end of the Mahanadi river worries the residents of the headquarters town here residing along the river bank.

A layer of fly ash is seen everywhere in the house and on the roof top almost every morning. Even the leaves of the trees look grey and black instead of green. Even though the high temples are best proof to the pollution, all the main temples of the town situated along the river bank are facing the chemical effects, the conscious citizens here fumed. Residents of Nandapara, Jharuapara, Kamali Bazaar, Bada Bazaar, Kunjelpara and Balibandh are the worst affected due to the fly ash since the air distance between the factory and the above residential areas is just a kilometer away, alleged the residents."We have been facing the fly ash problem for the last two years and it is getting acute during the cloudy weather," said Dr Sisir Pujari of Jharuapara.

The people living in the other end of the river and close to the sponge iron unit further alleged that the company has got no concrete fly ash management policy. It just dumps the fly ash emitted from its power plant in any vacant place while the district administration seems to have got every support to all these illegal activities. There have been agitations by the residents earlier protesting against such a polluting activity of the firm, but to no avail.
