FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

Despite the declining growth of the Indian economy, during the year, their businesses have performed reasonably well. They believe that while global economic outlook seems grim, the Indian growth should again pick up the pace rapidly. The inherent strengths of Indian economy like favourable demographics, entrepreneurship spirit, increasing aspirational population will continue to drive the consumption at a much faster pace. They hope that after a long pause, the Government will resume the reform process and unlock the growth potential at a larger scale. Their businesses are well positioned to take advantage of the next wave of growth in consumption, which they believe is imminent.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Management Discussions and Analysis (MDA) is structured as follows:

 

·         Economy Overview

·         Business and Performance Overview

·         Competitive Landscape

·         Risks and Threats

·         Internal Controls and their adequacy

·         Review of Financial Performance

 

Some statements in this discussion may be forward looking. Future performance may however differ from those stated in the management discussion and analysis on account of various factors such as changes in Government regulations, tax regimes, impact of competition, competing products and their pricing, product demand and supply constraints. Certain financial numbers mentioned in the MDA for various companies have been mentioned based on their economic interest (Their share in the equity of the investee company multiplied by its financial parameters) therefore the same may vary from the figure considered in consolidated accounts which are included based on principles of accounting.

 

 

ECONOMY OVERVIEW

 

While the world economy is in a recessionary phase, the Indian economy faced a difficult year with substantial growth moderation. Despite challenging economic conditions, the Indian economy continued to grow around 6.90% in the last financial year 2011-12. It still remains vulnerable to both internal and external factors like, high inflation, depreciating rupee, high oil prices and uncertain global scenario. As there are mixed signals from the world economy, India's return to recent high growth rates shall depend on further fiscal reforms and steps to improve the Country's investment climate.

 

The economy also faced problem of elevated price pressure and some form of policy imbroglio, which impacted general business sentiments. These may not have immediate solutions but it will be critical how these issues are addressed by the Government in order to instill confidence within the various economic participants.

 

They expect the Indian economy to be in a stronger position as compared to difficulties faced over last year. The demographic led consumption story makes a very strong case for India with almost 58% of GDP consumed internally. Strong internal demand kept India going and shielded it from external uncertainties. A large domestic market led by the emergence of a soaring middle class population, investor-friendly policies, availability of skills and demographic prospects are some of the strong positives that are the bedrock of the Indian growth story.

 

 

BUSINESS AND PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

Being part of the consumption growth in India, the Company continues its focus to strengthen its position in developing, acquiring and partnering of businesses in the Fashion Apparel and Accessories, FMCG and Food Processing, Rural Distribution and Edutainment, which constitute a significant portion of the household expenditure. The large size of the addressable domestic market and its steady expansion when viewed with the relatively low current level of penetration coupled with higher organised retail penetration suggests significant headroom for future growth of branded fashion and processed food. The Company has positioned itself well for this anticipated growth in business with an appropriate structure, strategy and capabilities. Considering the opportunity in the integrated food play, the Company has successfully generated a strong pipeline for the future investment in Food, FMCG and distribution segment. The Company, through Capital Foods Limited, is also setting up an Integrated Food Park, which will set a benchmark in the food processing industry in India. Further investments shall help in capturing the complete value chain of food processing industry from farm to fork.

 

The Company believes in applying a disciplined investment approach and building strong partnerships with highly-motivated management teams and entrepreneurs. The investment objective is to catalyze the growth of emerging or potentially high-growth business opportunities through active participation as investors and mentors.

 

During the year, the Company invested Rs.990.000 Millions in new businesses and further consolidating its position in fashion business, Rs.873.400 Millions in FMCG and Food Processing business, Rs.210.000 Millions in Rural Distribution and Rs.669.600 Millions in Edutainment business.

 

The Company has total equity capital of Rs.15760.000 Millions, of which over Rs.10000.000 Millions has been invested in growing and nurturing these businesses as well as in increasing its holding in the promising companies.

 

FASHION

 

Their investment in the fashion space covers the entire value chain in the category, coupled with presence in almost every sub-category in the sector.

 

The Indian apparel industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.70 per cent till FY16. The growth would primarily be driven by the surge in demand for branded readymade apparels by domestic consumers in rural and urban areas due to rising income levels, young population and increasing preference for branded apparels.

 

The domestic apparel industry comprises of five segments - menswear, womens wear, Kids wear, unisex and uniforms further bifurcated in formal and casuals. Their portfolio consist of companies with wide spectrum of 25 national and internationally recognized brands like Lee Cooper, Manchester United, John Miller, Turtle, Indigo Nation, Scullers, Daniel Hechter, Lombard, Celio, and, Clarks, BIBA, etc. They are present in mens, womens and kids segment in formal, casual and ethnic wears including accessories at various price points.

 

Apparel industry's profitability is mainly influenced by the raw material and input prices. Domestic players enjoy better margins as against the exporters. The raw material prices for apparel players have been on rise in the recent past due to the soaring cotton and crude oil prices.

 

Indian apparel Industry has been unable to pass on the rise in cost to the consumers due to the stiff competition and limited pricing power. Therefore, the margins of the apparel manufacturers have been affected and are expected to remain subdued over the medium term. Buoyancy in domestic demand is the key to the future profitability.

 

All these brands have a strong retail network through their own Exclusive Brand Outlets (EBOs) as well as Multi Brand Outlets (MBOs) and presence in modern retail. Few of the brands are also exploring the franchisee model and trying to expand its reach through general distribution mode. They are targeting E-commerce as another big channel of distribution for the brands to expand their reach and brand presence in Indian and International markets. The consolidated revenue in the category is expected to grow by 30 -40% and with impetus on cost reduction and change in sales mix, the EBIDTA is expected to improve from current levels. Considering the fast changing customer preferences, it is necessary for the industry to keep a track of major changes in apparel trends for consumer preferences and emergent opportunities with tight working capital management.

 

The revenues of their fashion segment have grown considerably over previous year. Based on the economic interest (Company's share in the equity of the venture multiplied by its financial parameter), the segment's aggregate turnover for the FY 2011-12 registered a growth of 62%. Better absorption of fixed costs over increased sales base has resulted in reduction in operating cost as percentage of overall sales though EBITDA margins are lower due to increase in cost of materials and imposition of excise duty on branded apparels.

 

The segment has been focusing on the working capital management. Net Working Capital Cycle (Inventory + Debtors-Creditors) has improved by 28 days, during the year.

 

During the fiscal year 2011-12, the Company has invested into a Joint Venture with UK based globally renowned footwear brand "Clarks". The Company has made investments to the tune of Rs.233.000 Millions in Clarks Future Footwear Limited. The Company has also raised its stake in Indus-League Clothing Limited, BIBA Apparels Private Limited and Indus Tree Crafts Private Limited by investing an aggregate of Rs.747.100 Millions. It has invested Rs.10.000 Millions in Holii Accessories Private Limited to support the growth of business. These brands are expanding their retail footprint and have been receiving encouraging response from the market. The Company believes that these brands have strengthened and diversified its fashion portfolio in apparels and accessories.

FOOD

 

The total food production in India is expected to double in the next ten years and there is ample opportunity for huge investments in food and food processing technologies, skills and equipments.

 

The Indian food and beverages market has witnessed strong growth over the past few years. Liberalisation of the economy and growing income of middle class population have had a positive impact on consumer spending and consumption in both rural and urban areas. Indian consumers now spend a significant proportion of their income on food and other essential commodities. Numerous other factors like demographic and macro-economic conditions have also given boost to expenditure on food and beverages in the Country.

 

The food processing industry in India stands at US$ 135 billion and is projected to grow with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20 per cent over the next five years so as to reach US$ 200 billion by 2015.

 

The food processing industry in India is witnessing quick growth. Overall the branded players in the processed foods category are expected to grow much faster than the total market. In addition to the demand side, there are changes happening on the supply side as well with the growth in organised retail, increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) in food processing and Indian based companies to cater to the changing preferences of Indian customer. With massive scope for value addition, growing trend in the consumption pattern of processed food products in India and many fiscal incentives being planned by the Government, this sector is poised for a hyper growth in the future. Government incentives in the field of mega food parks, cold chain and exports benefits are also playing an important role in encouraging food processing.

 

Subject supports new and fast growing brands in the home and personal care and processed and packaged food segment that are retailed through Food Bazaar, KB's Fairprice, rural distribution network, Aadhaar and an independent distribution network of Capital Foods. Supply side shall further be strengthened by creating Integrated food park thus capturing the entire value chain from sourcing from farmers in vicinity to processing and packaging of food products and distribution to retailers.

The revenues of their Food and FMCG segment have grown considerably over previous year. Based on the economic interest the segment's aggregate turnover for the FY 2011-12 registered a growth of 26%.

 

The continued focus on the working capital management has resulted in further improvement in Net Working Capital cycle (Inventory+Debtors-Creditors) by 13 days, for the year.

 

To further strengthen their position in the processed food business, the Company is exploring possibilities to invest in such Food Parks in the West, East and North of India.
