The values and principles which have governed Tata Steel’s business for a century, have been deployed through the implementation of the Tata Code of Conduct (TCOC). This process of implementation of TCOC among stakeholders is known as the Management of Business Ethics (MBE), which is deployed effectively in the Company through its ‘Four Pillars’ concept, which are:

  • Leadership
  • Systems and Processes
  • Training and Awareness
  • Measurement

 

The year 2008-09 was marked by the launch of the Tata Code of Conduct 2008. The Code has the flavour of globalization and gender sensitivity, which reflected the presence of the Tata Group’s footprints in many foreign countries. The revision of the Code included the following points keeping globalisation in mind:

  • International nuances were added (originally perceived as India-centric was modified and the Code was made global).
  • Gender bias was removed.
  • An additional global focus area was incorporated, e.g. culture sensitivity, colluding to bribe, right to privacy, improving environment-greenhouse gases, preserving human rights, honouring commitments.
  • Employee responsibility has been inserted under relevant clauses.
  • Third party accountability has been added by obtaining Non Disclosure Agreements by the Tata Company with third parties and their employees.

 

Tata Steel took various steps to roll out the Code within the Company. The leadership team and all executives reconfirmed their dedication to the Code by an online acceptance of compliance through the SAPHR Portal. The changes in the new Code were made known to all by circulating two codes per week through Lotus Notes, which is the internal mailing system of the Company. This system has helped people within the organisation understand the Code better.

 

In addition to this, other initiatives were also taken to deploy the Code throughout the Company. These include printing of books, posters of the Code in English, Hindi and other regional languages which also carried the Managing Director’s message. Posters were put up at strategic locations to help all employees to familiarise themselves with the Code. There were also several classroom training sessions and shop floor discussions. The Code has also been uploaded on the Company’s website.

 

All partners including vendors, contractors and other agencies, were informed about the new Code through the e- Procurement and online business sites. Their non disclosure agreements were also taken online.

 

In order to make the Company’s ‘Whistle Blower Policy’ effective and to encourage more whistle blowers, the ‘Whistle Blower Reward Policy’ was incorporated. In addition to this, a film on a whistle blower’s role was also made and screened across all levels of the Company. The Ethics Group of the Company was also subject to the Deming examinations this year and this has helped the function improve the monitoring of its processes.

Tata Steel Group steel deliveries at 23.5 million tonnes in the financial year under review were at par with the financial year 2009-10 (23.6 million tonnes). The gross steel deliveries (including the inter-group transfers) for the steel-producing entities were higher than the previous years with Tata Steel India, Tata Steel Europe, NatSteel Holdings and Tata Steel Thailand posting growth of 4%, 3%, 1% and 8% respectively. The company’s Indian operations recorded a growth of 4% in steel deliveries from 6.17 million tonnes in the financial year 2009-10 to 6.42 million tonnes in 2010-11.

 

Along with the increase in gross steel deliveries, the steel producing entities witnessed increases in the average

realisations in line with the steep increase in the raw material prices. The turnover for the Group in 2010-11 at Rs. 118,7530.000 Millions, was 16% higher than 2009-10 (Rs.102,3930.000 Millions).

Indian Operations: Crude steel production at 6.86 million tonnes in financial year 2010-11 was higher than the previous year (6.56 million tonnes) by 4%, thus exceeding the nameplate production capacity in the second year on enhanced capacity. There was an increase in the vessel life and heat size of the two steel melting shops enhancing their productivity to achieve the higher crude steel production of the company. Saleable steel also increased by 4% from 6.44 million tonnes recorded in financial year 2009-10 to 6.69 million tonnes in the financial year under review with higher hot metal being available from the bigger blast furnaces with higher productivity. The sales volume during the financial year 2010-11 at 6.42 million tonnes was 4% higher as compared to the previous year (6.17 million tonnes) indicating the robust growth in steel demand. Apart from the two steel melting shops, there were many units (including mines and collieries) which surpassed their respective best ever performances.

 

Ferro Alloys and Minerals division’s saleable production at 1,405k tonnes in the financial year 2010-11 was higher

than financial year 2009-10 (1,350k tonnes) by 4%. The sales (including transfers to other divisions of the Company), however, at 1,464k tonnes were lower than the previous year (1,508k tonnes) by 3%. Chrome alloys exports and manganese alloys sales of the division touched new heights during the financial year under review.

 

Improved demand in auto and infrastructure segments led to the increase in sales and production in the Tubes division. The division recorded production of 371k tonnes in FY 2010-11, higher by 6% over FY 2009-10 (351k tonnes), while the sales improved from 349k tonnes in FY2009-10 to 366k tonnes in 2010-11, an increase of 5%. Boosted by various improvement initiatives under ‘Kar Vijay Har Shikhar’ programme, the division continued to improve on its performance in various segments like ‘Tata Pipes’ (plumbing and irrigation), ‘Tata Structura’ (infrastructure) and Precision Tubes (Automotive, Process and Power sector).

 

Sales in the Bearings division in the financial year 2010-11 at 32.95 million numbers grew by 4% against the financial year 2009-10 (31.69 million numbers), while the production at 33.14 million numbers in FY 2010-11 increased by 12% over FY 2009-10 (29.61 million numbers). The increases were primarily driven by higher demand in the domestic auto segment.

 

European operations: Sales volumes of Tata Steel Europe (TSE), excluding seasonal effects, were reasonably flat for the first three quarters of the financial year 2010-11, before showing an improvement in the last quarter to the highest level of quarterly sales since financial year 2008-09. Deliveries in Tata Steel Europe during FY 2010-11 (14.9 million tonnes) increased by 3% over FY 2009-10 (14.4 million tonnes). Selling prices increased steadily through the year with the revenue per tonne increasing by around 17% over the previous year.

 

The revenue per tonne increased relatively sharply in the first quarter of the financial year under review in anticipation of the equally sharp increase in price of raw materials, but became more modest in the second and third quarters before losing its upward momentum in the fourth quarter. Raw material prices, in contrast, peaked during the third quarter.

 

TSE has adopted the Tata Steel identity for trading purposes with eff ect from September 2010 and a progressive rebranding process is under way. The Company has also adopted a new operating model to replace the previous model of three main operating divisions (Strip Products, Long Products and Distribution and Building Systems). It is now organised into a number of business activities comprising steelmaking hubs (Strip Products Mainland Europe, Strip Products UK and Long Products Europe), speciality businesses (Colours, Building Systems, Packaging, Tubes, Kalzip, Plating, Cogent Power and Speciality Steel), and a distribution and sales network (Distribution UK and Ireland, Distribution Europe and International). TSE has adopted a single sales and marketing

function with eight industry-focused marketing sectors, namely automotive, construction, packaging, rail, lifting and excavating, energy and power, industry strip and industry long products. Europe, principally the EU, continues to be the most important market of the Company.

 

On 24th February, 2011, Tata Steel UK Limited (TSUK), a subsidiary of TSE, signed a defi nitive sale agreement to sell certain assets of TCP to Sahaviriya Steel Industries Public Company Limited in a deal valuing the business at Ł434 million. The assets covered by the sale include the Redcar blast furnace, the Redcar and South Bank coke ovens, TCP’s power generation facilities and sinter plant, and the Lackenby steelmaking and casting facilities. The deal also includes TSUK and SSI entering into a joint venture to operate Redcar wharf, TCP’s bulk terminal. The sale was completed on 24th March, 2011.

 

The ‘Fit for the Future’ programme initiated in response to the financial crisis continued to give results with notable reduction in the average number of employees. The deal with SSI resulted in 850 employees getting transferred to SSI and it is expected that further jobs will be created.

 

South-East Asian operations: NatSteel recorded an increase in steel sales by 1% in FY 2010-11 (1.80 million tonnes) over FY 2009-10 (1.78 million tonnes). The increases were most noticeable in NatSteel Singapore, the Australian units, Thailand and in trading business, while other business units in China and Vietnam witnessed decline in their respective volumes. Nat Steel Singapore increased its sales volume by 106k tonnes from 738k tonnes in FY 2009-10 to 844k tonnes in FY 2010-11. Average revenue per tonne improved across all units (other than Australian units) thereby increasing the turnover of the Company. The Company sold its share in an associate company Southern Steel Berhard (SSB) during the financial year. The EBITDA of the Company, excluding the profit on sale of share of SSB in the financial year under review, reduced from the previous financial year primarily due to rise in the cost of input materials which more than off set the increase in prices and impact of higher sales volumes.

 

Sales volume of Tata Steel Thailand during FY 2010-11 at 1.29 million tonnes was higher than FY 2009-10 (1.20 million tonnes) by 8%, while production increased by 6% from 1.21 million tonnes in FY 2009-10 to 1.28 million tonnes in FY 2010-11. During the financial year under review, the Company had to mothball the Mini Blast Furnace in the third quarter due to high costs of operations and low capacity utilisation, before recommencing its operations in the fourth quarter. The company incurred losses during the year primarily due to high costs of operations, low capacity utilisation and losses due to mothballing of the Mini Blast furnace partly compensated by increase in average revenue per tonne and higher sales volume.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE:

 

Global Steel industry: Global crude steel production reached a new height during 2010 at 1,414 million metric tonnes, up by 15% over 2009. While China maintained the lead position in terms of volume of steel produced, with a growth of 9.3%, most of the negative growths seen in the steel producing nations hit by the economic downturn in 2009 reversed during 2010 and they recorded positive double digit growths during the year. The following table shows the crude steel production volume of the top ten steel producing nations:

 

In Asia, the annual production at 897.9 million tonnes in 2010 was up by 11.6% from 2009. The EU registered a growth of 24.5% over 2009 producing 172.9 million tonnes of crude steel in 2010. However, production in the UK (2010: 9.7 million tonnes, 2009: 10.1 million tonnes) and Greece (2010: 1.8 million tonnes, 2009: 2.0 million tonnes) continued to decline over previous years. The CIS countries recorded increase of 11.2% with a production volume of 108.5 million tonnes of crude steel in 2010 with Russia and Ukraine as the major contributors.

 

In 2010, Tata Steel ranks 11th among the top 12 steel makers of the world in terms of crude steel production. Most of the international steel companies witnessed a bounce back in their production level from the drops they experienced from the crisis of 2009. However, in many cases these companies could not reach their pre-crisis

production levels. Chinese companies dominate the list with 7 of the top 12 being Chinese companies. The largest gainers in terms of percentage increase over 2009 production were ThyssenKrupp (52%), US Steel (46%), Nippon Steel, JFE, Nucor and Gerdau (all registering more than 30% increase).

 

The Japanese crisis in March 2011 has caused some uncertainty over raw material prices and short-term end-user steel demand, although there is likely to be a medium-term increase in demand from reconstruction activity. In particular, the automotive and electronics industries may face shortages in supply where they are relying on Japan for manufacturing components.

 

Steel Industry in India:

 

Ranked 5th in terms of crude steel production in the steel producing countries, the country’s production grew by around 6% in 2010 over 2009. There has been a diversification in the product mix of the steel industry in India to include sophisticated value-added steel used in the automotive sector, heavy machinery and physical infrastructure. However, the industry is suffering from high ash content of domestic coal and is dependent on supply of imported coal. The bottlenecks for green field expansion of the country are raw material security (getting iron ore mining lease), infrastructure (affecting logistics and transport), and uncertainties in land acquisition. The production of flat products and long products of major Indian companies is estimated to have grown by around 12% and 8% respectively during the financial year 2010-11 when compared with the previous financial year.

 

Steel consumption for FY 2010-11 for the flat products and long products grew by 6.7% and 10.6% respectively with flat products exports growing by 1.8%, while there was a decline of 33.7% in the exports of long products. There was a reduction in the imports of flat products and long products by 3.8% and 23.6% respectively. The steel prices during the financial year 2010-11 have increased from the average prices prevailing in the previous financial year as well as the quarter ended March 2010 driven primarily by the increase in the prices of input raw

materials during the same period.

 

UK and European Steel Industry: Consequent to the collapse in demand in 2009, the crude steel production in the European Union (27) increased by 24.5% from 138.8 million tonnes in 2009 to 172.9 million tonnes in 2010. Imports of steel by EU were higher by 27% from 22 million tonnes in 2009 to 27.9 million tonnes in 2010. Russia remained the largest supplier of steel (24%) to the EU at 6.8 million tonnes, while 20% of the imports were from Ukraine (5.6 million tonnes) and imports from China were 3.9 million tonnes (14%). The product mix in the imports changed with more of flat products as compared to long products. EU exports however increased by 8.4% to 34.3 million tonnes with Turkey being the largest market (4.5 million tonnes – 13%) followed by the USA (3.7 million

tonnes –11%) and Algeria (3 million tonnes – 8%).

 

South-East Asian Steel industry: As per the preliminary numbers obtained by South East Asia Iron and Steel Institute  (SEAISI), the steel consumption in the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) at 47.3 million tonnes in 2010 grew by 14% over 2009 and was higher by 1.3 million tonnes over the pre-crisis level of 2008. While production in the area at 26 million tonnes was higher than 2009 by 6%, imports grew significantly by 25% over 2009 to be at around 30 million tonnes. Exports volume at 8 million tonnes also witnessed an increase of 26% over 2009.

 

In Thailand, the increase in consumption was met by 60% higher imports (8 million tonnes) while the domestic steel output grew moderately by 8% to around 7.5 million tonnes with exports increasing by 0.4 million tonnes to 1.6 million tonnes. The Steel demand in Indonesia was met substantially by imports with domestic output at 5.1 million tonnes and exports rising by 22% to be at 1.3 million tonnes. Philippines demand growth was met mostly by imports (1.8 million tonnes) with stagnation in the domestic output and decline in exports. Similar situation was witnessed in Malaysia with an increase in imports (at 4 million tonnes) and decline in domestic production and exports. Vietnam steel demand declined by 1.8% in contrast to growth in the domestic output by 20% to 5.6 million tonnes to serve the export market. In Singapore, long product consumption declined by 4% from 1.83 million tonnes to 1.75 million tonnes mainly on account of completion of mega projects. In spite of a drop in the domestic long product output of the country, NatSteel managed a growth of 9% catering to exports market which grew from 0.29 million tonnes to 0.49 million tonnes. Flat product demand in Singapore fell by 6% to below 0.9 million tonnes.

 

Tubes division:

 

During FY 11, Tubes Division consolidated its position in the market place by registering a growth in production and sales by 6% and 5% respectively enabled by successful implementation of various improvement initiatives, under ‘Kar Vijay Har Shikhar’. The key performance highlights of the division are appended below:

 

·         ‘Tata Pipes’ continues to be one of the leading players in India in the conveyance business for the plumbing and irrigation segments. During FY 11 it has also made forays in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air-conditioning) segment and provided value added services through its channel partners.

·         ‘Tata Structura’ is supplied to the infrastructure segment. This sector grew by 15% in FY 11 achieving a landmark of  0.1 million tonnes with its presence in the upcoming airports of Chennai and Kolkata.

·         Precision Tubes are supplied to the Automotive, Process and Power sector. During FY 11, the production and sales of Precision Tubes grew by 13% each over the previous year using future focussed practices like EVI (Early Vendor Involvement), NPD (New product Development) and PAG (Product Application Group). The Tubes Division won the Coveted JRD QV Award in the year. Along with long products, the division also won the EPC World Award 2010.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

As reported by the ‘World Economic Outlook’ (WEO) issued by the International Monetary Fund in April 2011, the world economy is expected to grow at 4.5% in the years 2011 as well as 2012. The advanced economies are projected to grow at 2.5% while the emerging and developing economies will be growing at a higher level of 6.5%.

 

The recovery from the global economic downturn remains unbalanced. In the advanced economies, output is far below potential and the unemployment continues to be high, with a risk of having a lower growth in these economies fuelling the unemployment issue further. In the US, the fiscal consolidation is ongoing with the housing market remaining depressed. In Japan, the immediate focus is on reconstruction and there will be an effort to link the reconstruction spending to a fiscal strategy to bring down the public debt ratio over the medium term. In the EU, recovery is proceeding in a modest pace with the output still below potential and unemployment high. WEO reports that Germany and France are expected to grow at 2.5% and 1.5% respectively during 2012 while rapid growth is expected to continue in Asia with a growth projection of 6.7% in 2011 and 6.8% in 2012. China and India, as a part of the developing Asia are set to grow at 9.6% and 8.2% respectively during 2011 and 9.5% and 7.8% in 2012 with private demand growing in China while infrastructure remains a key contributor to growth in India.

 

The World Steel Association (WSA) in its short range outlook issued in April 2011 states that the world consumption of steel is expected to be 1.359 billion tonnes in 2011 registering a growth of 6% over 2010, following a growth of 13.2% growth in 2010. Steel demand is expected to grow further by 6% to 1.441 billion tonnes in 2012.

 

The forecast of WSA suggests that the steel demand in China in 2011 is set to rise by 5% to 605 million tonnes while that in India it is expected to reach 68.7 million tonnes, registering a growth of 13.3%. In 2012, China is expected to maintain the growth of 5% while India is expected to accelerate by 14.3%. The recovery in the US estimated to lead the steel consumption to 13% growth to be at 90.5 million tonnes with the construction market remaining weak. The forecast of steel consumption in Japan is yet to be firmed up after the tragic earthquake and Tsunami. Apparent steel use in the EU is forecast to grow by 4.9% in 2011 to be at 151.8 million tonnes with Germany and France the leading economies which are expected to lead the steel use recovery particularly in the automotive and machine building sectors.

 

FINANCE:

 

In FY 11, the world emerged from the depths of the financial crisis as most economies moved out of technical recession or negative growth. Governments and monetary bodies, through large fiscal spending, zero interest rate policies and easy credit have averted the possibility of mass banking collapse and financial crisis. The developed world has now entered a period of slow and uncertain growth, which cannot be accelerated by relying on the same policies without creating a fresh crisis in the shape of sovereign defaults and an inflationary spiral. Emerging markets which have robust growth are importing inflation from the rest of the world and though they are raising interest rates, local monetary tightening has been of limited benefit so far.

 

During the financial crisis, the Company had focused on raising additional debt in order to maintain a liquidity buffer given the uncertain nature of the steel markets. However, given the lower level of earnings and increased debt, the leverage position of the Company had become sub-optimal. Therefore in FY 11, the Company continued on its journey of deleveraging. It repaid `Rs.4,2580.000 Millions of borrowings during the year.

 

At the same time, given the substantial improvement in liquidity in financing markets, the Company in FY 11 refinanced the entire acquisition debt in Tata Steel Europe. Tata Steel UK Holdings, on 29th September, 2010, signed a Senior Facility Agreement with a syndicate of 13 banks for a Ł3.53 billion term loan and revolving credit facility which replaced in full the term loan and revolving credit facilities entered into at the time of the acquisition of Corus Group plc in 2007. The new facilities have been designed to achieve certain key financing and business objectives for the company: the syndicate comprises a smaller, co-ordinated group of Banks with long-term relationships with Tata Steel; repayment obligations for the next 5 years have been minimised; there is flexibility to incur higher capital expenditure in Europe and to raise working capital depending on business needs; and the new financing arrangements carry lighter financial covenant obligations.

 

However, given the business environment and earnings profile of the Company, there was a need for a further rebalancing of the capital structure. This needed to be achieved by a combination of disposals of non-core assets, raising of equity and quasi equity funds. The Company is continuing to dispose of stake in other Tata Group Companies which are unrelated to its business. In addition, the Company completed the sale of the Teesside Cast Products unit of Tata Steel Europe in a deal valuing the business at around Ł434 million in March 2011 and 51% of its 77.46% stake in Tata Refractories Limited in a deal valuing the equity of TRL at Rs.1,1300.000 Millions in April 2011. In January 2011, the Company completed a further public offer for ordinary shares in the domestic markets

aggregating Rs. 3,4770.000 Millions. In December 2010 and January 2011, it drew Rs. 3,0000.000 Millions via issuance of 20 year Non-Convertible Debentures, where the Company will have no cash outgo on account of interest for the first 3 years. In March 2011, the Company also successfully completed India’s first ever off erring of Corporate Hybrid Securities with an issuance of Rs.1,5000.000 Millions (US$ 332 million). These securities rank senior only to share capital,

are perpetual in nature with no maturity or redemption and are callable only at the option of the Company thereby incorporating equity characteristics.

 

As part of the financing of the imports for the 2.9 mtpa expansion in Jamshedpur, the Company also tied up long-term ECA backed buyer’s credit of €72.85 million to be drawn over the next 18 months and repaid over the next ten years. As on 31st March, 2011, the cash and cash equivalent in Tata Steel Limited, India was ` 4,142 crores and Rs.10,893.000 Millions for the Group.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

 

Tata Steel Standalone:

 

Profit after tax at Rs.6,86.600 Millions during the financial year 2010-11 was higher by 36% as compared to the financial year 2009-10 (Rs.5,0470.000 Millions). The diluted earnings per share was at ` 70.99 for FY 11 (FY 10: ` 57.31) while the basic earnings per share for FY 11 was at ` 75.63 (FY 10: ` 60.26).

 

Steel sales volume during FY 11 at 6.42 million tonnes recorded an increase of 4% over FY 10 (6.17 million tonnes). Higher prices across all divisions and higher volumes in Tubes, Wires and Bearings divisions also contributed to the increase in net sales.
