FINANCIAL RESULTS
Titan Industries Limited
has delivered one of its best ever performances. Sales income for the year
2010-11 was Rs.65708.600 Millions, registering a growth of 39.7% over previous
year’s sales of Rs.47031.200 Millions. This growth was attributable to the
continued dynamism of the Indian economy resulting in high consumer confidence,
favorable demographics of their primary market - India, the unique position
Titan and its brands occupy in the consumers’ mind space and the talent and
commitment exhibited by the Company’s employees and business associates.
Profit before tax
for the Company grew by 86.4% to Rs.5990.000 Millions, while net profit grew by
71.9% over previous
year to Rs.4304.200 Millions.
Both Watches and
Jewellery segments recorded excellent growth on the back of very good retail
sales. Watch Business achieved breakthrough in several new consumer segments in
the watch market – the sub Rs.500 economy segment, where Sonata Super-Fibre
recorded handsome sales and the children’s segment, with Titan Zoop. The
successful expansion of exclusive Fastrack stores net work has reinforced
Fastrack’s position as India’s most exciting youth brand. The Company also took
confi dent steps into accessories market with the national launch of Fastrack
accessories (bags, belts, wallets, wrist-bands). The Jewellery Division
aggressively pursued growth of diamond studded jewellery and was also able to
improve the grammage growth of gold jewellery, despite the increase in gold
prices. The Eyewear business witnessed rapid expansion of its retail network,
with healthy sales growth in like-to-like stores. The B2B business of Precision
Engineering which was hit last year due to global slowdown made good recovery
and performed reasonably well compared to the previous year.
The Jewellery segment
sales grew by 43.5% to Rs.50272.300 Millions and the Watch segment sales grew
by 23.3% to Rs.12664.600 Millions. Sales of others including Eyewear,
accessories and Precision Engineering rose by 60.7% to Rs.2438.700 Millions.
The year witnessed
expansion of the Company’s retail network with a net addition of 122 stores
(124503 sq. ft.) across Watches, Jewellery and Eyewear businesses. As on 31st
March 2011, the Company has a total of 665 stores, with over 810000 sq. ft of
retail space, delivering a retail turnover in excess of Rs.61500.000 Millions.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
The Company
achieved an export turnover of Rs.1270.000 Millions during the year. Exports
include sale of watches and precision engineered components.
The International
Business Division of Watches made a splendid foray into Vietnam in 2009 and
followed it up with an equally successful launch in South Africa in 2010-11,
the initial results of which have been encouraging. While Far East Asian
markets continued to do well, some Middle East markets reported sluggish
economies and results during the year. The export of precision engineered
components during the year showed improvement over the previous year.
FINANCE
During the year,
borrowings of Rs.54.200 Millions were repaid during the year. The Company
incurred Rs.662.400 Millions as capital expenditure in respect of refurbishment
and expansion programmes at manufacturing facilities and retail outlets and in
IT Hardware systems.
The Company’s
continued effort at conserving cash and containing capital employed has enabled
the company to
generate net cash inflow of Rs.9070.000 Millions.
During the year,
the Company’s long term debt rating was upgraded by CRISIL to AA +/Stable
(pronounced “double A plus with stable outlook) from AA/Stable, indicating high
degree of safety. ICRA has reaffirmed the long term debt rating of LAA
(pronounced as L Double A) with a positive outlook which indicates high credit
quality.
The year 2010-11
witnessed smart growth by various sectors including agriculture, industry and
service. However, high inflation has been a major concern which prompted the
Reserve Bank of India to tighten the monetary policy by increasing the key
interest rates.
SUBSIDIARIES
As at 31st March 2011, the Company has the following subsidiaries:
1) Titan Time
Products Limited, Goa
2) Tanishq (India)
Limited, Bangalore
3) Titan Properties Limited, Hosur
The performance highlights of these subsidiary companies for FY 2010-11
are as under:

0.953 Million).
None of these companies has declared a dividend.
The annual
accounts of the above three subsidiary Companies have been consolidated with
the Accounts of Titan
Industries Ltd for the financial year 2010-11.
A Petition has
been filed pursuant to sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 by the
Company’s subsidiary company Tanishq (India) Limited as the Transferor Company
seeking sanction to the Scheme of Amalgamation proposed to be made between
itself and its holding company Titan Industries Ltd as the Transferee Company
effective 1st April 2010 as the Appointed Date. No shares of the Transferee
Company are to be issued pursuant to the Scheme. Based on an application made
under section 391 of the Companies Act, 1956, by the Transferor Company, the
Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka which has jurisdiction over the Transferor
Company has granted dispensation of the meetings of shareholders and creditors
of the Transferor Company.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INDIA OVERVIEW
The Indian Economy
in the year 2010-11 emerged with remarkable speed from the effects of the
global financial
meltdown, with an
impressive 8.5% growth last year and an expectation of 9% in the coming year.
However, within this ambience of progress and optimism, there is the spectre
and challenge of containing inflation which has been vacillating from above 20%
to the below 9.5% level. In addition, structural challenges remain in the economy,
of corporate governance, ethical efficiency in the delivery of subsidies and
building up infrastructure.
In this context,
it is important to note that the economy, over the last three years, has
successfully withstood two shocks in rapid succession: a) a collapse in world
economic growth and trade caused by the financial crisis during 2007-2009 which
persisted into 2010-11; and b) experiencing a negative growth in the crucial
sector in agriculture in 2008-09, resulting in a drought in 2009-10. Cautious
optimism is reflected as a consequence of macro-economic measures aimed at
moderating inflation to forecast sustained growth ahead.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
The recovery in
economic performance has led to a significant improvement in consumer and
business confidence. Consequently, retail sales of all their products witnessed
consistent and high growth.
The Company has
fared exceedingly well as a result of this. Income grew by 40% from
Rs.47030.000 Millions last year to Rs.65710.000 Millions this year while the
net profit increased by 72% from Rs.2503.200 Millions last year to Rs.4340.200
Millions this year.
WATCHES AND ACCESSORIES
GLOBAL TRENDS IN THE WATCHES INDUSTRY
During 2010,
global production of watches was estimated at around 1.2 billion timepieces, an
increase of more than 20% compared to the previous year. Many global markets
displayed a strong uptrend in sales volumes, after a sharp fall in demand
during recession-hit 2009. Asian countries such as China, India and Singapore
displayed rapid double digit growth. The USA and many European countries also
resumed a growth trend, albeit at a slow pace.
The premium and
luxury end of the global watches market saw vigorous recovery, with export sales
of the Swiss watch industry growing by 22% in 2010, compared to the previous
year. Asia has now become the largest market for Swiss watches, absorbing 53%
of Swiss watch exports during the year. This is also the reason why many
premium and luxury brands are now investing significant amounts in Asian
markets.
The Swatch group,
global market leader in wrist watches, recorded gross sales of 6.44 billion
Swiss Francs during 2010, a growth of 22% over the previous year. The group
also reported record operating profits during 2010.
In the midst of
these positive developments in the watches industry, one dark cloud that has
appeared on the horizon has been the recent catastrophe that struck Japan, a
large producer and consumer of watches and watch components. They anticipate a
slow recovery with some continuing disruptions in supply in the short-term.
THE INDIAN WATCHES MARKET
The Indian watches
market continued to display good growth during 2010, with the premium watch
market, in particular, recording a growth in excess of 25%. This is excellent
news for the future of the industry, since global
brands will continue to invest strongly in this rapidly growing market.
During 2010, the
Company increased its market share in multi-brand outlets (as measured by M/s.
Francis Kanoi
Research) by a
further 2% to 45%, in the face of competition from over 65 competitor brands.
Their share in the total market including sales at exclusive stores and
corporate clients stands at 47% by value.
The Company’s
market leadership and consistent growth was achieved through a well crafted
portfolio of sharply
defined brands,
which dominate several consumer segments in the watches market – Titan for the
mid-premium market, Raga for women, Fastrack for youth, Sonata for
value-conscious consumers, Zoop for school children, and Xylys for connoisseurs
of Swiss watches. Supplementing these brands is a wide and robust retail,
distribution and service network which extends across the country.
In a significant
development, the Company has also now entered the accessories market
(sunglasses, bags, belts, wallets, wristbands) through the Fastrack brand. This
will not only help the Company gain share in a large market but will further
enhance the appeal of the brand.
Based on these
strong foundations, the watches business of the Company achieved a record
profit before interest and taxes of Rs.1860.000 Millions and a robust ROCE of
73% during 2010/11. Titan, their flagship brand was ranked amongst the ten most
trusted brands in the country, among 16,000 brands studied by the Brand Trust
Advisory during 2010. In the same study, Fastrack was ranked the most trusted
fashion accessories brand.
JEWELLERY DIVISION
Globally, gold continued
to strengthen its role as a store of value as well as a good financial
investment. India continues to be the largest consumer of gold jewellery in the
world estimated at 680 tonnes during the last year according to World Gold
Council (WGC).
The Jewellery
Division experienced the price of gold moving up by more than 20% during FY
2010-11 and breached the Rs.2000/gm mark for 22kt by the end of 2010-11. Record
imports happened in 2010. WGC has reported that bullion and bar sales have done
very well across the country.
Given the sentiments around most of the developed world, experts remain
bullish on gold.
Prices of rough
diamonds moved up by 20% in December 2010 and this resulted in polished diamond
prices moving up by a similar extent. By Q4, the rough prices moved up twice
again, and the prices of polished diamonds have already moved up another 70%.
Consequently, their procurement prices of polished diamonds have increased by
around 90% in April 2011, compared to December 2010. This put a tremendous
pressure both on the overall market and on the competitive position of their
brands as the difference between their prices and their competitors widen on
account of these steep increases.
They have put in
place multiple strategies to deal with this challenge: sacrificing some gross
margin to remain competitive; improving their exchange policy for increasing
their value for money and a sustained education campaign communicating the
superiority of Tanishq diamonds. The last one features Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan
in a memorable and effective advertising film.
March 2011 also
saw Excise Duty being levied on branded jewellery, this time to the extent of
1%. From what they understood from the Finance Ministry, this is applicable
only on brands like Tanishq and not on “house mark” shops, which means that any
big and reputed independent jeweller can avoid this. While Tanishq is absorbing
this impact, it puts considerable pressure on Gold Plus.
Some of the
reputed local jewellers are getting very ambitious and are showing high levels
of aggression and have opened large stores in many cities, invested
considerably in marketing and have done very well. A couple of jewellery houses
have also gone for IPOs, with a clear eye on national expansion, while they
closed the year with 120 Tanishq stores, 29 Gold Plus stores and 2 Zoya stores.
Their expansion plans for 2011-12 are quite aggressive and should deal with
this challenge adequately.
Overall, the year
has ended on an excellent note for the Division, with record performance on
EBIT margin, sales growth, studded share, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and
Free Cash Flow. The Division received industry recognition in marketing,
retailing and sourcing/manufacturing by winning the following awards:
·
The ET Innovative Retailer of the Year;
·
GoldPlus - 2 individual awards and Tanishq -1
individual award
·
Tanishq - Effies for the most effective Campaign of
the Year
·
GoldPlus - Many awards for its loyalty programme
Ananta
·
Zoya - the Best Store Launch of the Year Award
·
Couture Jewellery of the Year Award.
·
ISCM - CII Quality Award - the Golden Peacock
Innovation Award.
It was also a
great year for innovation in general. They took many new steps in the innovation
area as a Company. One of the major steps was the Innovation Bazaar, which
helped showcase more than 100 innovations across the Company, judged by an
external jury. The second was the Vendor Partner Product Innovation Bazaar of
the Jewellery Division, which was a new journey of strategic partnering with
the vendors on product innovation.
The DSS (Double
Studded Sales) programme of Tanishq was the highlight of the year. Under this
umbrella programme, several initiatives such as increasing inventory of high
value jewellery, improving exchange policy, conducting large exhibitions in
many cities and an improved Queen of Diamonds promotion were successfully
implemented. Two consumer activations were done for the first time in a year.
With these initiatives,
the studded category grew by 50% (the highest in recent years, and on the
largest base), which was quite exceptional. And this was achieved with very
little increase in retail area. Gold jewellery also grew handsomely by 12% in
grammage, despite the 20% price increase. The proportion of diamond studded
jewellery sales to total sales (excluding coin sales) for Tanishq now stands at
34%.
The year also saw
the launch of Taj collection and Glam Gold 2 in Tanishq; and Varnam, Pushpita,
Diamantine™,
Wedding collection and Saptara in GoldPlus.
The competitive situation and the customer sentiments that GoldPlus
faced, were rather different from that of Tanishq.
A few big
jewellers set up large format stores in some GoldPlus markets, invested
considerably in marketing and
discounts and
penetrated into the GoldPlus franchise. However, the Company’s focus on profits
through studded
sales was a major
factor of their strategy. Focus on many collections in the diamond, diamantine
and coloured stone categories gave GoldPlus substantial growth in the studded
category and delivered the profits.
In GoldPlus,
studded jewellery category grew by more than 135% during the year, even though
the grammage of
gold jewellery declined by 14%.
They also started
on their second big idea for Gold Plus (the first was the world’s largest
bangle, launched in 2009). This was the Jewellery Nano, a Tata Nano car
completely decked in jewellery, put together by technicians using various
jewellery techniques. This Nano will be launched in June 2011.
Given the huge
opportunity that the small town market offers in the gold Jewellery market,
2011-12 will see GoldPlus targeting 2 key objectives:
1.
Brand Desire
a.
Campaign on purity, price rationalization
2.
Market Leadership
a.
Big new stores, all in Andhra Pradesh, leading to
consolidation in that State
b.
Some larger current stores offering more choice to
customers.
EYEWEAR
The eyewear
industry continued to see intensive activity in 2010-11. Enhanced market
activity and greater awareness and exposure to international eyewear trends of
consumers in India is expected to grow the industry at a fast pace.
Titan Industries
has now emerged as the leader in the eyewear industry both by way of network
and turnover. It has focused on aggressively expanding its retail chain,
developing superior products, perfecting store experience, increasing
profitability and building brand awareness and appeal. UCP Turnover of the
eyewear business grew 58% with same store growth being 33%.
The Company now
has over 150 exclusive eyewear stores and is present in 45 towns as on March
2011. Brand awareness has significantly improved and consumers today recognize
Titan Eye+ a preferred destination for eyewear.
The eyewear
industry still is largely unorganized with few national/regional optical
chains. Competitive activity has
increased and larger players are beginning to intensify their efforts to
grow the market.
Titan Eye+ has
taken a lead role in redefining the eyewear industry in India. During the year
Titan Eye+ introduced many innovative and successful collections like Switchers
Frames – with multiple temples, Manhattan frames for the Corporate consumer,
Paolo Seminara – premium frames designed by a reputed Italian designer and
Activ Lenses – tailor made to suit individual life styles of different
consumers. Titan Eye+ heightened the style sensibility of consumers in eyewear
through effective communication, setting up its own best-in-class lens
manufacturing facility, and creating new standards in product quality while
providing excellent customer oriented services.
Titan Eye+ will
continue its thrust to expand operations and increase its retail network. It
will also continue to focus on providing high quality and superior products and
services across all its stores.
The Company sees
eyewear as a high potential business and expects it to be a significant
contributor to the bottomline in the years to come.
PRECISION ENGINEERING DIVISION
The year 2010–11 was
the year of recovery for Precision Engineering Division. International
customers in aerospace and oil and gas came out of recession, cleared their
inventories and started with fresh enquiries and orders for new parts. Indian
customers particularly in the automotive sector were buoyant and this reflected
in several new orders for machine building and automation.
OUTLOOK FOR 2011-12
The Indian economy
grew by about 8.5% in the year 2010-11. Notwithstanding the high inflation and
the tightening of monitory policy by the Reserve Bank of India, consumer
confidence in India continues to be very high which is reflected in the retail
growth of various sectors.
The Watch Business
will continue to pursue rapid and profitable growth through investment in
brands, expansion of retail net work, new and nascent consumer segments,
enhancing consumer happiness and build manufacturing and sourcing capabilities
to support the future needs of the brands. The watch business will also scale
up the ‘Helios’ retail format and consolidate the Fastrack accessories segment.
The Watch Business
will also continue to build the brand in Vietnam and South Africa, besides
extending intense
marketing focus to Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Malaysia.
The Jewellery
Business will continue its growth path through various initiatives, including
launching of new and innovative collections, expansion of retail net work
especially with large format stores, increasing share of studded
jewellery by
investing in marketing campaigns for diamonds. Initiatives have also been
planned in the area of integrated supply chain and bullion management.
After navigating
through a difficult period, the Precision Engineering Division of the Company
will seek to enhance
its revenue in
both their verticals – Machine Building and Automation and Precision Engineered
Components and Subassembles (PECSA).
The Company’s
Eyewear Business will continue to accelerate the pace of its retail network
expansion. A host of new collections targeting different emerging and large segments
of the middle class population will be launched. The Eyewear Division is keenly
pursuing the task of being the most preferred optical store and consolidating
its leadership position in the country.
Overall, the year
2011-12 will be a year where the Company would drive for strong and profitable
growth in all its Indian consumer businesses, retain focus on elimination of
wasteful costs, and skillfully navigate the international businesses which will
continue to pose challenges due to sluggish demand in some of the geographies.

Indian watch market when it introduced its futuristic quartz technology,
complemented by international styling. With India's two most recognized and
loved brands Titan and Tanishq to its credit, Titan Industries is the fifth

repeated its pioneering act and brought international brands into Indian
market. Tommy Hilfiger and FCUK as well as the Swiss made watch – Xylys owe
their presence in Indian market to Titan Industries.
Entering the largely fragmented Indian jewellery market with no known
brands in 1995, Titan Industries launched Tanishq, India’s most trusted and
fastest growing jewellery brand. Gold Plus, the later addition, focuses on the
preferences of semi-urban and rural India. Completing the jewellery portfolio
is Zoya, the latest retail chain in the luxury segment.
Subject has also made its foray into eyewear, launching Fastrack eyewear
and sunglasses, as well as prescription eyewear. The organization has leveraged
its manufacturing competencies and branched into precision engineering products
and machine building.
With over 826 retail stores across a carpet area of over 10,08,083 sq.
ft. Titan Industries has India’s largest retail network. The company has over
331exclusive ‘World of Titan' showrooms and over 83 Fastrack stores. It also

and Zoya stores, over 31 Gold Plus stores. It also sports over 204 Titan Eye+
stores. The company has two exclusive design studios for watches and jewellery.
Backed by over 6,000 employees, two exclusive design studios for watches

story with each new offering.

Mr. Bhaskar Bhat, Managing Director of the Company stated that “The
second quarter has been a healthy quarter for us recording an income growth of
37% despite a slowdown being witnessed by the economy. This performance
was driven by good retail growth for most of our brands and various initiatives
undertaken by all businesses to introduce exciting products and enhance
