PERFORMANCE

 

The growth of the Indian economy in the financial year was slower at around 6.5% as compared to the growth of around 8.4% recorded in the previous financial year. The domestic economy faced major challenges of rising inflationary pressures and constrained state of global economy, particularly in the western countries.

 

The slowdown in domestic economy, mainly on account of high inflationary pressures, hikes in borrowing rates and high cost of inputs, has impacted the domestic steel consumption during the year. The higher input costs of metallic, power & furnace oil coupled with adverse forex variation could not be recovered from the major customer segments in the Steel & Ring Business due to competitive pressure thereby the performance as a whole was adversely impacted. In spite of gain in operating efficiencies in terms of quality improvement, yield and specific energy consumption, the margin was under acute pressure. Fixed cost recorded significant rise due to increased water levy, legal costs and forex loss besides increase in employment cost. However, the Stampings business posted significant performance improvement due to buoyant domestic automobile demand, higher capacity utilization, improved operating efficiencies and return of the capital invested.

 

During the year the Company suffered a loss of Rs.358.500 millions, before exceptional item and taxation as compared to loss of Rs. 96.000 millions suffered in the corresponding previous year. The gross income of the Company grew by around 15% from Rs.13429.100 millions to Rs.15415.200 millions. The earnings before other Income, Interest and depreciation for the year was Rs.480.800 millions as compared to Rs.618.500 millions in the previous year. During the year the Company, in order to monetize the unutilised assets for growth of the company, sold excess land of 65 acres situated at Stampings division at Kanhe. On account of the sale of the said land, the Company has posted a net profit for the year.

 

STEEL & RING BUSINESSES:

 

During the year, the Company sold 1,19,370 tonnes of alloy steel products as compared to 1,23,447 tonnes sold in the previous year. The Company registered sales revenue of Alloy and Steel products aggregating Rs.7833.600 millions for the year as compared to Rs. 7606.700 millions of the previous year posting a growth of 2.98%. The rise in sales revenue is largely attributable to enriched product mix in the financial year 2011-12 as compared to that of the previous financial year. The operating efficiencies improved during the financial year.

 

The Company also registered sales of 3714 tonnes of Ring (Bearing Races) products for a value of Rs.44.61 millions during the year  as compared to sales of 2785 tonnes for a value of Rs. 243.200 millions recorded in the previous year. Exports also improved during the year.

 

During the year , the Steel Division faced challenges of spirally input cost and increased competitive pressure in special alloy steel market. The benefit of lower power cost from Wardha Power Company Limited, (WPCL) which was expected in second half of financial year (FY) 2011-12, could not materialize pending regulatory approvals. However, WPCL has got all approvals and the Company is expected to receive the power at lower cost from WPCL in 1st half of FY 2012-13. Management will continue to undertake initiatives for increasing margin by way of further improvements in operating efficiencies and increase coverage of metallic surcharge mechanism with customers for mitigating input price volatility. The Company also foresees significant increase in sales mainly in the value added segments as process/quality audits by many global MNCs are expected to fructify into sales in the near future.

 

The Board has at its meeting held on 11th November, 2011 approved the proposal of the transfer of the Steel (including Ring business) Division by way of Slump Sale on a going concern basis to the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company i.e Navyug Special Steel Private Limited (Navyug Steel), subject to necessary approval as may be required. The detail of this matter is mentioned elsewhere below in this Report.

 

STAMPINGS BUSINESS:

 

During the year , the sales volume of the Stampings business of the Company grew from 55,364 MT (previous year) to 63,953 MT registering a growth of around 16%. The sales value for the Stampings business for the year  was Rs. 7032.600 millions as compared to Rs. 5537.900 millions recorded in the previous year, registering a growth of around 27%. The robust growth witnessed by the Stampings business is on account of various initiatives taken by the management to expand its business and by exploiting the growth in the automobile industry.

 

The Stampings business is expected to grow at a firm and healthy rate, as it has product orders in the pipeline for new models of Mahindra & Mahindra Limited and Tata Motors Ltd. The Pantnagar Project has started operations in the financial year 2011-12, which will further strengthen the business volumes of the Stampings Division. The Stampings Division is committed to improve its performance by improving customer centricity, quality and efficiency. The Stampings business is exploring opportunities to expand in southern region i.e. Zahirabad, Dharwad to cater the Origial Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) present in that region.

ANALYSIS OF STEEL AND RING (BEARING RACES) BUSINESS SEGMENT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Indian economy is estimated to grow at around 6.5% in financial year 2012 as compared to the GDP growth of around 8.4% recorded in the previous financial year. The Indian economy is faced with stiff challenges of rising inflationary pressures, uncertain policy environment and deteriorating global growth conditions even as the economic fundamentals that will drive long term growth viz. consumer demand, strong entrepreneurship, and competitiveness in key sectors etc. remain intact.

 

The slow space of growth in domestic economy and the volatile state of global economy has adversely impacted the domestic steel consumption during the year . The Indian Economy Survey pointed out a list of bottlenecks responsible for lower steel consumption, including high inflationary pressure in India, gloomy state of global economy, multiple hikes in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India. Despite low growth in industrial demand for finished steel, the overall performance of Indian steel industry is poised for recovery.

 

The Union Budget for fiscal 2012-13 has enhanced the basic customs duty on non-alloy, flat-rolled steel and reduced the duty on imported plant & machinery to facilitate growth of Indian steel industries. Historically, the automotive and construction markets have remained the largest consumers of steel, absorbing more than half of the total steel produced. The initiatives of the government to push infrastructure and real estate projects by extending certain incentives are also expected to provide impetus for steel consumption. Further the growth of Indian automobile market is one of the fastest in the world and is expected to maintain its growth momentum, an indication positive for the alloy steel industry.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

In the financial year 2011-12, the Steel and Rings business of the Company recorded a modest growth in sales revenue by 5.7% on year to year basis. Despite the improvement in sales, the business suffered operating loss before interest cost of Rs. 380.600 millions in the financial year 2011-12 (as compared to operating profit (PBIT) of Rs. 19.600 millions recorded in the financial year 2010-11). The Steel business in the year  witnessed competitive pressure from domestic alloy players which along with spiral in fixed cost adversely affected the performance of the Company.

 

The rise in operating loss is mainly on account of increase in metallic cost, power and fuel costs which largely remain unrecovered from the customers due to competitive pressure. The fixed cost of operation increased in the financial year 2011-12 by 21% as compared to that in the financial year 2010-11 mainly on account of finance charges including foreign exchange loss, personnel cost and provision for water charges pertaining to an earlier period. One time non recurring administrative & legal costs were also incurred in respect of proposed demerger of the Steel Business.

 

During the year , the sales revenue of the Ring Division recorded a growth of 83% on year to year basis. The sales revenue for the year  was Rs. 446.100 Millions as compared to previous year revenue of Rs. 243.200 millions. The rise in sales indicates improvement in customer satisfaction. To further meet customer requirement of machined rings, the company is in the process of developing and establishing machining capacity with Vendors. With stronger order book the Ring business is expected to improve operational performance in the next financial year.

 

Summarized operational performance of Steel and Ring business for financial year 2011-12 is given below:

 

• Sales were 1,23,084 tonnes in financial year 2011-12 as compared to 1,26,232 tonnes recorded in financial year 2010-11.

 

• The overall revenue from steel and rings products was around Rs. 8279.700 millions in the financial year 2011-12 as compared to around Rs. 7849.900 millions recorded in financial year 2010-11 registering growth of around 5.48% on year to year basis.

 

• Direct exports increased to 2652 tons valued at around Rs. 400.000 millions in the financial year 2011-12 as compared to export of 2374 tons valued at around Rs. 270.000 millions recorded in the financial year 2010-11, respectively.

 

• The operating margin (EBITDA) in the financial year 2011-12 declined to around Rs.(184.400) millions as compared to around Rs. 204.000 millions recorded in the financial year 2010-11.

 

 • Average Power cost increased from Rs. 5.63/KWH in financial year 2010-11 to Rs.6.64 /KWH in financial year 2011-12.

 

• The steep increase in cost of the furnace oil from Rs. 25,119/- per Kilo Litre (total cost around Rs. 500.000 millions p.a.) incurred in the previous financial year to Rs.35,279/- per Kilo Litre (total cost around Rs. 630.000 millions p.a.) incurred in the financial year , impacted the performance of the Steel business.

 

• There was foreign exchange loss of around Rs. 61.700 millions to the Company in the financial year 2011-12.

 

• The company has made a provision of Rs 35.100 millions on account of estimated liability in water charges litigation.

 

The benefit in power cost from Wardha Power Company Limited (WPCL) was expected in the previous financial year but could not materialise due to delay in regulatory approvals. WPCL has received all regulatory approvals and the Company expect to receive the low cost power from WPCL in first quarter of the financial year 2012-13, which will enable the Steel business to improve its cost of production. The Company continues to undertake improvement initiatives for reducing costs, increasing productivity, improving quality, optimizing utilization of resources and process de-bottlenecking for performance improvement.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND STRATEGIC OUTLOOK

 

India has emerged as one of the largest steel producers in the world. However, the per capita consumption of steel in India is still low as compared to developed countries, providing huge opportunity for growth. The alloy steel consumption in India is expected to grow in tandem with the economy. The long term demand growth from the sectors like automobile, engineering and energy is expected to remain fi rm, providing opportunity to the Company to participate in these markets. Global automobile manufacturers are enhancing procurement from India and the Company is further exploring business opportunities in this area. Tool and dies; Oil, Gas & Mining and the renewable energy sectors are target markets for the company both domestically and for exports. The Company is already an approved supplier for globally reputed manufacturers in these sectors and in some cases is the single supplier. A major overseas Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of Bearings has placed orders of rings with the Company, while all major auto OEMs prefer MUSCO Rings since it has a captive steel source and the approval of steel and rings can happen together.

 

The key elements of the Company strategy remain unchanged to what was reported last year - “reboot” (reduce costs), “reinvent” (move up the value chain), and “reignite” (pursue growth). The Company has made considerable progress towards implementation of the strategy. Given the harsh environment prevailing in the last financial year, the steel division continues to focus on reducing costs and optimizing operations. It is diversifying into high margin products of Oil & Gas and Mining segment. Likewise, the rings business is focusing on increase in capacity utilisation, cost improvement in the area of machining and transportation through the proposed mechanism of Vendor Park and in the area of heat treatment by additional in-house facilities.

 

To ensure that the Company reignites its performance and puts itself back on the path of growth and profitability, it has entered into a joint venture with M/s Sanyo Special Steel Co Ltd of Japan (Sanyo), one of the global steel majors and M/s Mitsui & Co Ltd of Japan, (Mitsui) global steel trader both of whom have agreed to invest in equity of Navyug Special Steel Private Limited, subject to certain terms, conditions and approvals. As discussed in the Directors’ Report for financial year 2011-12, the Steel (including Ring) Business is proposed to be transferred/hived off on a going concern basis to Navyug Special Steel Private Limited (Navyug Steel) the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, subject to statutory and contractual approvals. The Company, Sanyo and Mitsui are expected to utilize their respective brands, technologies and networks in order to meet the customers’ needs, of the Steel Business, through the joint venture. The joint venture is intended to help the Company achieve its goal of operational excellence, improved productivity and enhancement of both cost and quality to international standards to enable the Steel Business to achieve its full business potential.

 

In view of overall growth opportunities as discussed above and the proposed joint venture with Sanyo and Mitsui, the out look for Steel business is promising.

 

ANALYSIS OF STAMPINGS BUSINESS SEGMENT

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The stampings business had a strong growth in financial year 2011-12 in line with the growth of the auto and tractor markets.
