LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

 

India’s economic performance in the Financial Year 2011 had both positive and negative elements to it. The economy grew a very creditable 8.5% backed by strong growth in all three Sectors - Agriculture, Industry and Services. However, despite significant monetary tightening by the Reserve Bank of India, inflationary pressures persisted throughout the year, drawing attention to the factors and policies that continue to constrain productive capacities in the economy.

 

Yields in the Agricultural Sector in India, for instance, are significantly lower than those in other countries, for a wide range of crops. Recognising the criticality of ensuring food security, at affordable prices for all, the Government of India has taken a series of initiatives focused on enhancing the productive capacities of both farms and farmers. Mahindra Samriddhi, an initiative of the Farm Division of the Company, is making a small but significant contribution in this regard.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

In these challenging times, the Automotive and Farm Divisions of the Company have secured their best performance for the second year in a row reflecting in substantial growth in the net income of the Company by 26.60% to Rs.238030.000 millions in the year under review from Rs.188010.000 millions in the previous year.

 

Consequent to this remarkable performance, the Profit for the year before Depreciation, Interest, Exceptional items and Taxation recorded an increase of 19.37% at Rs.37660.000 millions as against Rs.31550.000 millions in the previous year. Similarly, Profit after tax clocked an increase of 27.51% at Rs.26620.000 millions as against Rs.20880.000 millions in the previous year. The Company continues with its rigorous cost restructuring exercises and efficiency improvements which have resulted in significant savings through continued focus on cost controls, process efficiencies and product innovations that exceed customer expectations in all areas thereby enabling the Company to maintain profitable growth in the current economic scenario.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

Automotive Division

 

The Company’s Automotive Division recorded total sales of 2,89,333 vehicles and 64,740 three-wheelers as compared to 2,36,759 vehicles and 45,360 three-wheelers in the previous year registering a growth of 22.2% and 42.7% in vehicle sales and three-wheeler sales respectively.

 

On the domestic sales front, the Company sold 2,74,793 vehicles [including 2,30,110 Multi Utility Vehicles (MUVs), 35,493 small 4-wheelers 0.75 Ton cargo/passenger and 9,190 mini 4 wheelers 0.5 Ton cargo/passenger] registering a growth of 21% over the previous year’s volumes of 2,27,114 vehicles [including 2,14,128 MUVs, 3,722 small 4-wheelers 0.75 Ton cargo and 9,264 mini 4 wheelers 0.5 Ton cargo].

In the Overseas market, the Company registered a volume growth of 62.2% over the previous year. This growth was driven by volume growth in SAARC, Chile and South Africa. During the year, the Company sold 14,540 vehicles [including 305 vehicles sourced from Mahindra Navistar Automotives Limited (“MNAL”)] and 2,598 three-wheelers in the Overseas market as compared to 10,567 vehicles [including 1,323 vehicles sourced from MNAL] and 922 threewheelers in the previous year.

The Company’s tractor exports grew by 33.7% to reach 11,812 tractors as compared to 8,837 tractors exported in the previous year.

 

Beyond agriculture, in the power generation space under the Mahindra Powerol Brand, the Company sold 27,748 engines in the current financial year as against 48,011 engines in the previous year. Volumes were severely affected due to adverse market conditions in the Telecom Sector. The Company, while retaining its leadership position in the genset market catering to the telecom space, has focused its presence in the retail segment and has also introduced new products like inverters.

FINANCE

 

The overall global growth showed traction in the Financial Year 2011 with Financial Year 2012 promising further improvement, despite the temporary setback arising out of natural calamities in Japan. However globally, monetary and fiscal policies are showing a tightening trend. The developments in Middle East and North Africa coupled with vagaries of global weather have resulted in oil and food prices casting a shadow over forecasts on growth, inflation and policy actions. India’s growth during Financial Year 2011 was strong and various indicators of demand like auto sales, exports, credit offtake and cargo movements in recent months show continued upward trends. However, inflation continues to be a worry for monetary and fiscal policy makers. While the Government of India did not take any major adverse measures in Union Budget for Financial Year 2012, the Reserve Bank of India has since March, 2010 raised key policy rates by 350 bps. For the Indian Economy, the Financial Year 2012 could be a challenging year as corporates face commodity price increase and demand gets threatened by rising interest rates.

 

The Company continued to focus on managing cash efficiently and ensured that it had adequate liquidity and back up lines of credit. During the year, the Company initiated suitable actions based on financial conditions, to facilitate conversion of debt into equity and raised fresh debt to finance its growth plans.

 

The Company had outstanding Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (“FCCBs”) aggregating USD 189.50 million at the beginning of the year. It issued a notice on 8th October, 2010 for early redemption of its outstanding FCCBs aggregating USD 141.20 million. Prior to the notice for early redemption, the bondholders had opted for conversion of FCCBs aggregating USD 48.30 million into Shares/GDRs. The Company’s call met with a resounding success with FCCBs aggregating USD 140.10 million representing 99.2% of the outstanding FCCBs of USD 141.20 million being converted into Shares/ GDRs.

Consequently during the year, the Company has on conversion of FCCBs aggregating USD 188.40 million allotted 18.15 million Shares (including Shares underlying GDRs) to the bondholders, who exercised the option to convert these FCCBs into such Shares/ GDRs. Accordingly, the Company’s FCCB debt of Rs.8508.500 millions outstanding on its books as at the beginning of the financial year stands extinguished thereby strengthening the credit profile of the Company.

 

The Company has also repaid foreign currency loan aggregating Rs.1760.000 millions and Non-Convertible Redeemable Debentures (“NCDs”) of Rs.2000.000 millions during the year. It has successfully raised External Commercial Borrowings aggregating USD 150 million from banks at attractive terms and at benchmark pricing.

 

The Company follows a prudent financial policy and aims to maintain optimum financial gearing at all times. The Company’s total Debt to Equity Ratio was 0.23 as at 31st March, 2011.

 

The Company has been rated by CRISIL, ICRA Limited (ICRA) and Credit Analysis and Research Limited (CARE) for its banking facilities under Basel II norms. During the year, CRISIL upgraded the rating for Long Term Banking facilities to “AA+/Stable” from the earlier “AA/ Stable”. During the year, ICRA and CARE have maintained a Long Term Rating of “LAA+/Stable” and “CARE AA+” respectively.

 

CRISIL, ICRA and CARE have all reaffirmed the highest rating for the Company’s Short Term facilities. The Company’s Bankers continue to rate the Company as a prime customer and extend facilities/services at prime rates.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

The subsidiary companies of the Company continue to contribute to the overall growth of the Company. Major subsidiaries such as Mahindra and Mahindra Financial Services Limited with a 38.49% growth in its consolidated profits and Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited with a 37.81% growth in its consolidated profits deserve special mention. The consolidated Group Profit for the year after exceptional items, prior period adjustments and tax and after deducting minority interests is Rs.30797.300 millions as against Rs.24785.600 millions earned in the previous year.

 

During the year, Mahindra Aerospace Australia Pty. Limited, Aerostaff Australia Pty. Limited, Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicles Private Limited (earlier known as Reva Electric Car Company Private Limited), Bristlecone Consulting Limited, Anthurium Developers Limited, Watsonia Developers Limited, Gipp Aero Investments Pty. Limited, Gippsaero Pty. Limited, GA8 Airvan Pty. Limited, GA200 Pty. Limited, Airvan Flight Services Pty. Limited, Gipp Aero International Pty. Limited, Nomad TC Pty.

Industry Structure

 

The Indian automobile industry comprises of a number of Indian-origin and multinational players, with varying degree of presence in different segments.

 

The domestic tractor market too comprises of a large number of players and is segmented by horsepower into the sub 30 HP segment, the 30-40 HP and 40-50 HP segments and the higher segment of above 50 HP.

 

Economic overview

 

For the Indian economy, Financial Year 2011 was a year of robust growth, with consumption led demand fuelling manufacturing growth, supported by a record 5.4% growth in the agricultural sector. However, with this high growth came a sharp rise in inflation, both on the food and commodities front.

 

The Indian economy continued on a robust growth path despite several challenges on the global macroeconomic front, especially the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and a significant increase in oil prices. Almost all Sectors of the Indian economy showed accelerated growth until the third quarter of Financial Year 2010-11. A normal monsoon supported a very strong rebound in agricultural growth during the year, thus providing further impetus to economic growth by raising rural income levels. However, there were signs of slowing down in some Sectors, especially in manufacturing in the fourth quarter.

 

The Reserve Bank of India continued with its monetary policy action of rate increases to contain inflation, which translated into significant hikes in wholesale and consumer financing costs, particularly for automobiles.

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND TRENDS

 

Indian Automotive Sector

 

The global automobile industry production grew by nearly 26% in 2010 (Source: OICA Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles), recovering smartly from two consecutive years of decline, driven primarily by growth in emerging markets such as China and India. A highlight of the year was the emergence of China as the largest vehicle market in the world, surpassing the United States of America.

 

Against the backdrop of the challenging macroeconomic environment both domestically and globally, the Indian

automobile industry registered a robust growth during Financial Year 2010-11. The passenger vehicle segment grew by 29% with domestic sales crossing 2.5 million vehicles. In 2010, according to OICA, India was the 7th largest vehicle producing country in the world. This growth was supported by a slew of new product introductions by vehicle manufacturers, and growing consumer confidence.

 

During the year, the Government of India introduced Bharat Stage (BS) IV emission norms for 13 major cities and BSIII norms for the rest of the country for passenger vehicles. The transition was smooth despite a phased introduction, due to the cooperative approach of both the Government and the Industry.

 

Within the passenger vehicle segment, while the passenger car segment grew by 30%, in line with the overall industry, the multipurpose vehicle (MPV) segment grew by 42%. The Utility Vehicle (UV) segment registered a growth of 19%.

 

The Commercial Vehicle (CV) segment grew by 27%, driven by a 32% growth in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (M and HCV) segment and a 23% growth in the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment. The three-wheeler segment registered a 19% growth during the year, driven largely by a 23% growth in the passenger segment owing to the renewal of existing fleet permits and opening of new permits in several states.

 

During Financial Year 2011, the two-wheeler segment grew by 25.8%. Within two-wheelers, Motorcycles grew by 22.9% and scooters recorded an impressive growth of 41.8%. Mopeds grew at 23.5%.

 

Indian Tractor Industry

 

The Indian tractor market, comprising of a number of players, continued on its high growth path to touch 4,80,377 tractors, a growth of 20% over the previous year. This was on the back of a 31.7% growth in the corresponding period last year. This growth has been fuelled by increasing rural liquidity, better crop realisations through higher minimum support prices and increasing cost and scarcity of farm labour, all of which were further strengthened by a normal monsoon and continued government support for agriculture and for rural India.

 

THE COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE

 

Automotive Sector – Accept No Limits

 

During the year, the Company’s Automotive Sector exemplified the Rise tenet of ‘Accepting no limits’. It achieved many milestones and landmarks on its journey to becoming a globally recognised automotive brand. New products were launched along with refreshes. The Sector won many awards and much recognition.

 

The Sector achieved overall volumes, including those of major subsidiaries, of 3,58,021 vehicles in the domestic market, a significant growth of 25% during the Financial Year 2011. This growth was contributed largely by its entry into newer segments and the growth of its existing product range. The Maxximo, launched in the last quarter of Financial Year 2010, gained a significant market share in its segment, taking on incumbent competition successfully. As a result, in the less than 3.5T LCV segment, the Company gained a 2 percentage points market share to reach 38%.

 

OUTLOOK – AUTOMOTIVE AND FARM EQUIPMENT SECTORS

 

Both the Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors with their updated product portfolios and their exploration of global horizons will strive to maintain their leadership position in their respective markets. Simultaneously, the Company will continue its focus on achieving cost leadership through focused cost optimisation, value engineering, improved efficiency measures like supply chain management, countrywide connectivity of all its suppliers and dealers and exploiting synergies between its Sectors.

 

The long term outlook for the automobile industry is bright and robust, though in the near term there are some challenges relating to the external environment that the industry must overcome. In the past two financial years, the passenger vehicle growth has been 26% and 29% respectively, while that for Commercial Vehicles has been 38% and 27% - among the highest in the world. This high growth has been partly driven by the low base effect of the previous year due to the global financial crisis, partly by the stimulus measures taken by the Government and partly by appropriate action on the part of vehicle manufacturers. This support for industry growth may phase out gradually, returning the industry to a more normal growth trajectory. In addition, rising inflation, interest rates, fuel prices and commodity prices are likely to dampen consumer confidence and sentiment, which has always been a key determinant of automobile sales.

In the long term, the Indian economy is projected to grow rapidly and demand conditions are expected to remain strong. According to SIAM long term forecasts, the Indian automobile industry is expected to grow at an annual average rate of 10-15%. However, in the near term, there are challenges in terms of higher commodity prices, rising inflation and rupee appreciation, which will have a bearing on demand and profitability.

 

Similarly in the case of tractors, the long term outlook continues to be positive with the tractor industry expected to continue to grow with a CAGR ranging between 7% and 10%.

INDIA’S MAHINDRA AND MAHINDRA LIMITED COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF A MAJORITY STAKE IN SSANGYONG MOTOR COMPANY

March 15, 2011, Seoul: Mahindra and Mahindra Limited (M and M), India’s leading manufacturer of utility vehicles, today announced that it has completed all formalities related to the acquisition of a majority stake in SsangYong Motor Company (SYMC) and that the company is no longer in Court Receivership. Mahindra had emerged as the preferred bidder for SsangYong in August 2010.

This marks the beginning of a new journey for SYMC and will also pave the way for both Mahindra and SYMC to emerge as a strong force allied together in the global passenger vehicle industry, through their strategic partnership.

Present on the occasion were Mr. Bharat Doshi, Executive Director and Group CFO, Mahindra and Mahindra Limited and Dr. Pawan Goenka who is President of Mahindra’s Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors. Key officials from the Mahindra Group and SYMC were also present.  

For Mahindra, the biggest benefit from this partnership will be the opportunity to harness synergies between the two companies, while protecting their respective brand identities and ensuring quality. Towards this end, a Synergy Council comprising of senior management from both companies will be established to ensure focus and delivery of synergies between the two companies. The Council will focus on various aspects such as global procurement, new car development and business strategy to penetrate international markets.

Strategic plans such as the India project which involves launching the Rexton and Korando-C in India have already been kicked off. Also under discussion are opportunities for joint product and technology development and synergy in global operations and purchase.  Mahindra has a strong IT system that is being reviewed for suitability for SsangYong. The company is also considering the possibility of Mahindra Finance setting up operations in Korea to enhance the sales of SsangYong vehicles.

Mahindra has also proposed the following five point agenda for SsangYong:

·         Strengthening the product pipeline

·         Harnessing synergies between the two companies

·         Investing in the SYMC brand

·         Building human resources

·         Focusing on financial stability 

SsangYong has also proposed the following investments:

In 2011, the business plan calls for a 70%  investment increase in product development, as compared to last year, at over KRW 200 billion

Over 40 billion KRW for brand building in Korea - a 60% increase over 2010 - and an increase in overseas brand investment by over four times, in 2011.

Dr. Pawan Goenka, President, Automotive and Farm Equipment Sectors, Mahindra and Mahindra Limited, mentioned that Mahindra was extremely conscious of SYMC’s Korean heritage and would only want to enhance it. SsangYong will be an independently run Korean company – with largely Korean Management – and will remain a ‘Made in Korea’ Brand.  

He also announced that the new CEO of SYMC will be Mr. Yoo-il Lee, while Mr. Dilip Sundaram from Mahindra will be the new CFO. He also announced the names of the new Board of Directors of SsangYong Motor Company.

“This is a landmark day for all of us at Mahindra as it marks the beginning of what I am sure will be an enduring partnership with SsangYong Motor Company. I would like to thank all the employees of SsangYong as well as the company’s creditors for the help and cooperation extended to us during this long process. 

As one of the country’s premier automotive companies, SsangYong brings with it a rich legacy of R and D and innovation. This legacy, coupled with the synergies between the two companies in the areas of R and D, product development and platform sharing, will make the combined entity of Mahindra and SsangYong  a force to reckon with in the global utility vehicle space. We are committed to nurturing the SsangYong brand in both the Korean and global markets and returning it to its days of glory,” said Dr. Pawan Goenka.

“Mahindra brings with it a great deal of passion, domain expertise and knowledge of the global UV market, as India’s leading utility vehicle (UV) manufacturer. All of us at SsangYong look forward to working closely with the Mahindra team to help develop a new product portfolio and gain momentum in overseas markets,” said Mr. Yoo-il Lee, CEO, SsangYong Motor Company.
