MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

It was widely expected that the global economy would recover during the current year thus reversing the trend that has prevailed over the last two years. Unfortunately, this is not likely to happen. The US economy has continued to be slow with a recovery that remains elusive. Parts of Europe are still facing a debt crisis. Japan, with a severe earthquake, accompanying tsunami and nuclear accident may add to the world’s economic problems. If the political upheavals in the Middle East and North African countries intensify, oil prices are likely to be even more volatile.

 

India’s travel and hospitality industries continue to be dependent on visitors from the United States and from Europe. As recovery has been slow, inbound travel to India has been affected. However, there have been some signs of an upturn in the last quarter. In contrast, the Indian economic environment continues to be buoyant. The Government’s recent Economic Survey expects an 8.6% growth in GDP during the current year. Despite concerns over oil price volatility and rising inflation, the Indian economy is expected to continue to grow.

 

The World Economic Forum’s Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report for 2011 predicts that by 2015 the growth rate of each of China and India’s travel and tourism industries will exceed or equal that of the United Kingdom, France and Japan. Such forecasts underscore the attraction of the Indian hospitality market from a global perspective. There has been a continued push by major international hospitality brands to either establish or expand their presence in India. Conservative estimates suggest a near doubling of quality branded hotel supply over the next five years. Though still nascent, numerous brands have made ambitious announcements regarding plans to establish a network of budget hotels. These developments are healthy.

 

However, there are some significant challenges as hotels constitute only one element of tourism infrastructural development. Modern airports, good air connectivity and a network of roads are all necessary to facilitate easy travel. Whilst considerable progress has been made in the last few years, much remains to be done to handle the anticipated increase in travel volumes, especially arising out of India’s continued economic growth.

 

They need to see that the pace of infrastructure development increases, thus facilitating access to a far greater range of destinations that are necessary for business and leisure travellers. A country that is as vast and diverse as India has the potential to be one of the world’s major travel destinations. Governments across an increasing number of countries now recognise the role that the travel and tourism sector can play in creating jobs and become a catalyst for development. They hope that the prospect of realising the travel and tourism industry’s latent potential seriously exercises the minds and imagination of planners within the Government.

 

Despite global uncertainty, they expect the overall outlook for the current Financial Year to be stable with a continued revival of demand for hotel rooms that has begun in the recent months.

 

Trident, Bandra Kurla, Mumbai which completed its full year of operations during the last Financial Year, is helping to consolidate the Company’s position in Mumbai. The recent 46 opening of The Oberoi, Gurgaon further strengthens the Company’s position within the New Delhi National Capital Region.

 

Margins are likely to be impacted by continuing inflation, oil price volatility and rising payroll costs. The Company plans to offset pressure on margins through higher occupancies and modest increases in average room rates. Furthermore, proceeds from the recent Rights Issue will be used to reduce interest costs thus contributing to increased profitability.

 

 

Financial and operating performance

 

During the Financial year 2010-2011, the Company’s total Revenue was Rs.11430.000 million as compared to Rs.9073.000 million in the previous year, an increase of 26%.

 

Earnings before Interest, Depreciation, Taxation, Exceptional Items and other Amortizations (EBIDTA) were Rs.3340.000 million as compared to Rs.2579.000 million in the previous year, an increase of approximately 30%.

 

Profit before tax was Rs.870.000 million as compared to Rs.890.000 million in the previous year. The decline is largely on account of exceptional items.   The Company accounted for  Rs.968.000 million and  Rs.527.000 million under the head “other Income” during the Financial years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 respectively on account of claims for loss of profit due to business interruption caused by the terrorist attack on the Oberoi, Mumbai and Trident, Nariman Point, Mumbai.  During the Financial year 2010-2011, the Insurance Company finally assessed the claim at Rs.1125.000 million. the resultant deficit of Rs.370.000 million has been treated as an exceptional loss.  Furthermore, the Company’s claim for material damage caused by the terrorist attack referred to above has been assessed by the Insurance Company at Rs.174.000 million on a replacement cost basis.  The net book value of the assets damaged was Rs.107.000 million. The resultant surplus of Rs.67.000 million has been treated as an exceptional Income.

 

The Profit after tax was Rs.645.000 million as compared to Rs.572.000 million in the previous year, an increase of approximately 13%.

 

The Company continues to be largely engaged in hospitality and related services.  The segment wise results and capital employed are given on Page 106 of this annual Report.

MEDIA RELEASE:

 

 

May 30, 2011

Total Revenue increases by 26% to Rs.11429.500 millions
EBIDTA increases by 30% to Rs.3340.500 millions
Outlook for the current year encouraging

Gurgaon, May 30, 2011

The Board of Directors of EIH Limited (a member of The Oberoi Group) met on Monday, 30th May, 2011 and announced the Audited Results for the Financial Year 2010-2011.

The Company's Total Revenue, including Other Income, during the Financial Year was Rs.1429.500 millions compared to Rs.9072.700 millions during the previous year. This represents an increase of 26%.

 

EBIDTA during the Financial Year was Rs.3340.500 millions compared to Rs.2579.100 millions during the previous year. This is an increase of nearly 30%.

 

The Profit before Tax was Rs.870.000 millions against Rs.88.990 millions during the previous year.

 

The Consolidated Total Revenue, including Other Income was Rs.1296.870 millions compared to Rs.1047.740 millions in the previous year.

 

The Company made a Rights Issue of 17,86,15,442 Equity Shares of face value  2 each at a premium of  64 per Equity Share (Issue Price  66 per Equity Share). The Rights Issue raised 11788.600 millions to the existing shareholders. The proceeds will help the Company to substantially reduce debt, bring down interest costs and enhance profitability.

 

A dividend has been proposed at  0.90 per Equity Share. Following the Rights Issue allotment on 26th March, 2011 the number of Equity Shares on which the dividend will be paid has increased from 39,29,53,972 to 57,15,69,414.

The Chairman, Mr. P.R.S. Oberoi stated, "It was widely expected that the global economy would recover during the current Financial Year, reversing the trend of the previous two years. Unfortunately, this has yet to happen. The US economy is still slow. A number of European Union Member States still face the threat of a sovereign debt crisis. Oil prices remain volatile. If the political upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa intensify, oil price volatility will increase. The crisis in Japan is also a source of concern, although it is too early to predict the impact of this globally. These factors paint an uncertain and challenging global environment. In contrast, the economic environment in India continues to be buoyant. Despite concerns over oil price volatility and rising inflation, the Indian economy is expected to continue to grow. The domestic economic growth will have a positive impact on the demand for hotel rooms."

Mr. Oberoi further added, "The Oberoi Gurgaon consisting of 202 keys opened on 12th April, 2011. We hope that the hotel will redefine the city hotel experience with a design philosophy of height, light and space. We expect demand to be strong for hotels in the National Capital Region. The Company's two luxury business hotels, The Oberoi New Delhi and Trident Gurgaon, are located in this region. The opening of The Oberoi Gurgaon will further enable the Company to take advantage of the strong demand for hotel rooms in the New Delhi National Capital Region."

Mr. Oberoi concluded by saying, "We expect the overall outlook for the current Financial Year to be stable with a continuing revival of demand for hotel rooms which began during the last few months."

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

New Delhi, Oct. 14 -- The period between July and September is normally a dull season for luxury hotel chains whose fortunes are linked to business travel and inbound tourism. This season, hotels may be worse off, as a global recession and a cutback on discretionary spending by corporate houses overlap with an increase in room supply.

On an average, the industry added 8-10% room capacity over last year. Despite sluggish demand, incremental growth in rooms will boost revenue for the quarter by 10-12% from a year earlier. Therefore, occupancy rates at 63-65% may be marginally better compared with that of the year-ago period, but will perhaps be lower than the June quarter. One could link this performance to the data on foreign tourist arrivals, which indicated an 8.7% growth in September from a year earlier. Growth in foreign tourist arrivals in September 2010, when compared with 2009, was higher at 11.6%.

Hotels with higher exposure to leisure destinations are expected to register barely 53% occupancy rates. What's encouraging for tourism as a whole is the 10% increase in foreign tourist arrivals from January till September over the year-ago period. But analysts feel that this may not reflect in increased revenue and profit for luxury hotels, mainly because of stiff competition from the relatively less expensive mid-sized hotels such as Taj GVK Hotels and Resorts Limited, Royal Orchid Hotels Limited and Kamat Hotels India Limited.

Economic recession and increased competition will also hit average room rates (ARR), at least until demand catches up a few quarters down the line. In a report, Rashesh Shah of ICICI Securities Limited says, "ARR is expected to increase by a mere 1-2% year-on-year mainly to offset rising cost pressure."

Meanwhile, capacity addition even in the premium segment from the likes of Indian Hotels Co. Limited, EIH Limited and Hotel Leelaventure Limited has already translated into higher fixed overheads, which account for about 35% of the total operating cost of a premium hotel. Obviously, lower revenue and higher operating costs will hit profitability.

An Edelweiss Securities Limited report says that operating margins for the September quarter could be in the region of 12-15%. This is less than half the margins clocked during the peak period of 2006-07. Poor operating returns, along with higher interest and depreciation costs, would crimp profits across the sector during the quarter.

Hence, in the near term, the hotel sector seems far from comforting for investors. Hotel stocks have taken a beating. Market capitalization of most stocks is down to half compared with that a year ago. However, while the Street has already factored in the falling fortunes of hotel firms for the near term, management cues on occupancy rates and tariff revisions for the forthcoming tourism season will determine stock valuations.
