REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

 

The Company performed they’ll during the year 2010-11, crossing the Rs.30000.000 millions mark in gross revenue terms, for the very first time. All the business segments of the Company registered a double digit growth and maintained their profitability despite a sustained period of high costs. Strong consumer demand contributed to the robust volume growth in all the product lines of the Company. The operating profit before depreciation and interest for the year 2010-11 at Rs.3500.000 millions was up by 32% over the previous year. Together with an extraordinary income of Rs.210.000 millions on sale of land and building, the Company’s Profit before Tax for 2010-11 was Rs.2410.000 millions, a growth of 109% over the previous year.

 

The Bicycles division of the Company crossed Rs.10000.0000 millions in sales for the first time, reporting a revenue of Rs.11210.000 millions in 2010-11, a growth of 18% over the previous year It was only four years ago that the division crossed the Rs.5000.000 millions mark in revenue – a fine example of how customer insight-led product development, operational excellence and superior service can spur faster growth.

 

The year also marked the introduction of the first indigenous carbon fibre bicycle and launch of the internationally renowned ‘GT’ and ‘Mongoose’ brand cycles in the domestic market. These products complement their range of premium products and give us a position at all price points in the premium segment.

 

During the year, 78 new models were introduced and these were received well. Sale of new models contributed 23% to the division’s revenue for the year.

 

With a slew of premium products, the number of outlets selling the division’s products increased too. Currently, 647 outlets retail the Bicycle division’s entire range of products, of which 175 sell exclusively the division’s branded products.

 

In the Electric Scooters segment, lesser number of vehicles was sold during the year owing to a contraction in demand. Considering the difficult market conditions, the Company restructured the operations and further controlled its costs. With the incentives announced by the Government of India for the development and sale of electric vehicles in the country and rising fuel prices, renewed consumer interest is being witnessed for these products. It may, however, take a longer time for these products to gain acceptance and establish a position for themselves in the market place. The Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise set up by the Company in China to source components for Electric scooters is expected to help the performance of this business going forward.

 

Overall, the division reported a profit before interest and tax of Rs.780.000 millions, representing a growth of 14% over the Previous year, made possible by the growth in volume, better product mix, control over cost and keeping the funds employed in the business, low.

 

The Engineering division of the Company too had a very good year, clocking a turnover of `Rs.11950.000 millions, a growth of 34% over the previous year. The growth in this division over the last two years has been high, riding largely on the growth of the Auto industry in the country. Having come out of the recession in early 2009, all segments of the Auto industry have grown significantly in the last two years, thanks to the policies of the Government of India. Being a key supplier of tubes to all segments of this industry, the Engineering division was able to register a growth of 21% in the value-added tubes segment and an overall growth of 20% in tubes. In the cold rolled steel strips segment too, the division grew 7%, despite the dominance of large integrated mills. The growth numbers of this division would have been higher but for the fact that capacities were fully taken up and some requirements of customers could not be met.

 

The product range in the tubes segment is being augmented and plans are afoot to introduce new products. The division will have to invest in new capacities to meet the growing demand in the auto sector. Substantial investments are expected to be made in the current financial year.

 

This division reported a profit before interest and tax of Rs.1130.000 millions, a growth of 32% over the previous year, contributed by better product mix, higher volume and a combination of internal operating efficiencies besides partial pass through of cost increases. The funds employed were also kept at around the same level as the previous year, despite the higher activity, yielding a higher return on the capital employed.

 

In the Metal Formed Products division, all product lines grew at a higher rate, except the sections for railway wagons. The Automotive chains segment grew by 30%, which was higher than the growth of 26% registered by the two wheeler segment of the Auto industry, resulting in an improvement in the market share. Here again, constraints were faced in meeting in full the requirements of customers despite having increased capacity and productivity. In Industrial chains, the segment grew 11% in the domestic market and 60% in the export market. This was enabled by the strong industrial growth and the revival of demand from overseas customers. In the Fine Blanked products segment, significant progress was achieved with the commercialization of the new products developed, resulting in a growth of 138%. This has also helped de-risk some of the revenue streams as the user base has been expanded. With the launch of more products, this segment offers good potential for growth.

 

Supply of car doorframes grew 17% in line with industry growth. This segment too achieved a landmark in that the figure of 1 Million sets of car doorframes sold in a year was crossed for the first time, the volume having doubled in just five years. Full fledged operations commenced at the re-located car doorframe facility at Sanand in Gujarat. On the railway products, growth was marginal in the supply of sections for wagons. Supply of side and end walls for passenger coaches commenced during the year. A new facility at Uttarakhand became fully operational during the year.

 

The division recorded a turnover of `775 crores, a growth of 34% over the previous year. Profit before interest and tax grew by 26% with high volume growth from key product lines. The margin, however, was slightly impacted due to extra costs incurred to service customers on time, entry of a regional player in the wagons business resulting in intense price pressure and an inability to pass on cost increases fully. The return on capital employed remained healthy, despite the significant investments made recently in creating additional capacity and establishing state-of the- art facilities.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

CHOLAMANDALAM INVESTMENT AND FINANCE COMPANY LIMITED 

 

Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company limited (CIFCL), a subsidiary of the Company (60.56% equity holding), has reported a consolidated gross income of Rs.12220.000 millions (previous year: Rs.9560.000 millions) and consolidated profit before tax of Rs.1230.000 millions (previous year: Rs.570.000 millions) in the financial year 2010-11. During the year under review, CIFCL refocused on its core businesses viz., vehicle finance, home equity and business finance, which enabled a strong performance. The profit for the year is after reckoning Rs.2270.000 millions for the potential delinquencies in the personal loan segment and exceptional items in a subsidiary and Rs.210.000 millions on account of additional provision on all standard assets in compliance with the new Provisioning norms introduced by the Reserve Bank of India in January 2011.

 

CHOLAMANDALAM MS GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED 

 

Cholamandalam MS General Insurance company limited  (CMSGICL), a joint venture with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company limited  , Japan, achieved a Gross Written Premium of Rs.9680.000 millions during 2010-11 (previous year Rs.7850.000 millions), registering a growth of 23%. The General Insurance industry in India offers good potential for growth as penetration is low in this sector. However, there is intense competition amongst the players in this industry. The industry hence, continues to reel under the pressure of inadequate premium pricing seriously impacting underwriting profitability. While CMSGICL attained an operating profit before tax of Rs.388.000 millions in its eighth full year of operations, it reported a net loss of Rs.226.000 millions after providing for an amount of Rs.614.000 millions on account of the increased provisioning on Indian Motor Third Party Insurance Pool mandated by IRDA. With the recent announcement by the Regulator for increase in the premium rates of motor third party liability insurance by 60-70% coupled with the establishment of a mechanism for an annual review of these rates, the future motor pool losses are expected to be contained and thereby, improve CMSGICL's profitability.

 

TUBULAR PRECISION PRODUCTS (SUZHOU) COMPANY LIMITED 

 

Tubular Precision Products (Suzhou) Company Limited, the Chinese subsidiary for manufacture of precision cold drawn welded steel tubes was not profitable in view of difficult market conditions and hence, it was decided to liquidate the company in the year 2009-10. After complying with the legal formalities and with the receipt of requisite clearances from the Chinese authorities, the subsidiary was liquidated effective 29th March, 2011. The provision for diminution in value of the investment made during 2009-10 has been adequate to cover the loss on liquidation.

 

FINANCIERE C10 SAS

 

Financiere C10 SAS, France, the holding company of Sedis SAS and S2CI, both in France and Sedis Company Limited, in UK achieved a consolidated turnover of Euro 27.9 million for the financial year 2010, a growth of 4.3% over the previous year. This growth was achieved even as the European economy is slowly emerging from the recession. Profit before tax was Euro 0.5 million, an increase of 39% over the previous year. While, Sedis SAS is a pioneer in the manufacture of Industrial and Engineering Class Chains with two manufacturing plants in France, S2CI and Sedis Company Limited are distribution companies. The brand ‘Sedis’ has a strong equity and the company has a presence in almost 100 countries through its vast distribution and sales network.

 

TICI MOTORS (WUXI) COMPANY LIMITED 

 

TICI Motors (Wuxi) Company Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary established in China during 2009-10 to facilitate the operation of Electric scooters and Bicycles business. TICI Motors (Wuxi) Company Limited in its first year of operations, made a loss of Rs.10.200 Millions

Partnering with the R and D of customers in automotive and industrial sectors, the Company is at the cutting edge ofnew product development for various applications. The Company is being viewed by most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as the “Partner of Choice” for new developments.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Indian economy is estimated to have recorded a growth of 8.5% during 2010-11 following on the 7.3% growth achieved in the previous year, clearly emphasizing that India’s high growth is sustainable in this phase of development. Most of the developed economies, however, recorded low growth rates; consequently, the global business environment remained weak for a major part of the year under review. Positive signals from the developed economies emerged only in the last quarter of the year, which augurs well for the future of the global economy.

 

The Company faced a new kind of challenge during the year; at least two of its businesses encountered capacity constraints in the wake of a surge in demand. This challenge spurred the team to stretch all its resources to the maximum, resulting in the Company posting its best performance to date. The favourable economic environment in the country and high demand from the user segments of the Company helped it post a turnover of Rs.31300.000 millions and an operating profit of Rs.2210.000 millions, a growth of 28% and 30% respectively, over the previous year.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

Bicycles / Components / Electric Scooters

 

TI’s Presence

 

The Bicycles/Components/Electric scooters division of the Company comprises of bicycles of the standard and special variety including alloy bikes and specialty performance bikes, bicycle components sold as spares, fitness

equipment (motorized tread mills, elliptical, recumbent bikes etc.) and Electric scooters.

 

Industry Scenario

 

The bicycle industry in India grew at a higher rate of 9% in 2010-11 on account of increasing individual incomes and higher aspiration levels of the middle income group. Growth in the "specials segment" (Sport Light Roadster, mountain terrain bikes and children's bicycles) was higher than in the "standard segment". The Company was swift in identifying the potential for growth in the high end bicycles market. The high growth levels have vindicated the progressive positioning of the Company in this segment.

 

The Company and three other players cater to over 90% of the Indian bicycle market; regional players and imports account for the rest. The Company enjoys an overall market share of close to 30% while continuing to lead the specials segment with a dominant market share.

 

The fitness equipment business in the country normally caters to the home and commercial segments. The Company’s fitness business is presently restricted to the home segment, which comprises of six national players, importers and regional players. This segment is estimated at Rs.4000.000 millions, growing by 13% annually.

 

The size of the nascent Indian Electric scooters industry was estimated at about 40,000 scooters in 2010-11 as against 60,000 scooters in the previous year. There has been a significant consolidation in the industry with a number of regional players/importers vacating their position due to their inability to meet the exacting quality and service requirements of the customer. This has reduced the customers’ confidence in product reliability, affecting overall industry penetration. By the close of 2010-11, there were only three major national players left in this segment. It is expected that the sustained focus of the national players on product quality and service coupled with government support and rising fuel prices will improve the off-take of this product in the years ahead.

 

Review of Performance

 

During the year under review, the division recorded a growth of 12% in the volume of bicycles sold to the trade channel. Bicycles sold by the Company crossed 4 Million in 2010-11, even as State Governments purchased a lower quantity than before. The business also crossed Rs.10000.000 millions in turnover in 2010-11. The Profit before Interest and Tax grew by 14% over the previous year, despite competitive market conditions and rising input costs, particularly steel. This improvement was made possible due to the focus on the special, premium and performance bikes segments, market activation initiatives and the various steps taken by the Company to promote “Cycling”. The Company continues to be the front runner in terms of providing quality products through specialized outlets, which offer the customer the best purchasing experience. As of date, the Company has 647 retail outlets, contributing 25% of the total revenue from this segment.

 

During the year, the Company strengthened its position in the industry through a number of timely launches viz.:

 

• Introduced a bicycle with a carbon frame, for the first time in the country, designed and manufactured at the Company’s plant. These bikes, launched under the “Montra” brand, were benchmarked with global performance bikes and positioned for the urban health and fitness conscious segment.

 

• Introduced the “GT” range of bicycles - an entry level bike in the premium segment.

 

• Introduced the “Mongoose” range of bicycles in the BMX segment.

 

These and other models introduced during the year under review met with good customer response and accounted for 23% of the Company’s revenues.

 

The fitness industry in India continues to grow strongly with increasing awareness on health and fitness.  The business grew its turnover by nearly 39% over the previous year. Given the rapid growth in this industry, the prospects for the Company’s products offered through its retail outlets as well as through its exclusive outlets appear buoyant.

 

The sale of Electric scooters was lower than the previous year, due to a demand contraction. This trend is expected to be reversed consequent to the concessions announced by the Central Government during the last quarter of 2010-11 and the rising price of petrol.

 

Engineering

 

TI’s Presence

 

The Engineering division of the Company comprises of cold rolled steel strips and precision steel tubes viz., Cold

Drawn Welded tubes (CDW), Electric Resistance Welded tubes (ERW) and value-added tubular components. These products cater to the growing requirements of the automotive, boiler, bicycles and general engineering industries.

 

Industry Scenario

 

For the second successive year, the Indian automotive industry reported high growth, despite high interest rates and rising prices due to increasing input costs. All sectors of the industry performed creditably; the two wheeler segment grew 26% and passenger cars by 30%. A large portion of this growth came from the rural sector, where a combination of favourable monsoons, higher output and higher price realization for agricultural products translated into higher disposable incomes. Increased production by the industry was thus quickly absorbed. The Company augmented its production capacity by deploying equipment brought back from Tubular Precision Products (Suzhou) Company Limited., China. Most industry players in the CDW segment are operating at full capacity; new capacities are expected to be added in the foreseeable future.

 

Global markets reported growth, though small. Fears of a sovereign debt crisis in some of the European economies and the overhang of the crisis in the American markets pegged growth down. The advanced economies, however, posted encouraging growth in the last calendar quarter and the first quarter of this calendar year, inspiring optimism for 2011.

 

The Cold Rolled Steel Strips segment is dominated by integrated steel manufacturers. The Company continues to be a niche player focusing on special grades, catering to diverse applications in various sizes and grades. The India

 

Review of Performance

 

During the year under review, volumes grew 16%, turnover was up by 34% and this division crossed Rs.10000.000 millions in sales during the year. The export of tubes grew 15% largely catalyzed by robust growth coming out of Asia. The Company maintained its leadership position in the domestic value-added tubes segment with a market share of around 48%. Sales of tubular components grew 40% in volume terms, marking yet another year of the Company’s performance as a reliable and quality supplier of tubular components to the automobile industry.

 

Service levels to customers, a key thrust area, improved across all plants through higher efficiency levels and better throughput. Higher volume and better operating efficiencies led to an improvement in the Profit before Interest and Tax by 32%. A new four-year wage settlement with the employees’ Union was concluded in the mother plant, strengthening productivity levels.

 

Metal Formed Products

 

TI’s presence

 

Automotive and industrial chains, fine blanked products, roll formed car doorframes and cold rolled formed sections for railway wagons and passenger coaches constitute the Company’s Metal Formed Products.

 

Industry scenario

 

The Company is one of the three major players manufacturing roller chains in India. For the second successive year, the two-wheeler industry grew over 25%, despite higher interest rates, catalyzed by higher demand from rural and semi-urban India, sustained by higher disposable incomes. Following increasing sales of two wheelers, the replacement market for automotive chains continued to grow significantly. The industrial chains segment too continued to grow in line with the country’s industrial growth.

 

There are currently two established roll-formed car doorframe manufacturers in India. India continues to be a clear leader in the export of small cars for the global market. The success of the models for which doorframes are supplied directly impacts fortunes in this business. With the proliferation in the number of models, the choice before the customer is wide, adding to the risk of a model not being successful.

 

The Government of India intends to raise the share of goods transported by the Indian Railways, catalyzing the demand for additional wagons. The Company, another national player and a few regional players cater to the growing demand.

 

Review of Performance

 

Strong volume growth was witnessed in the domestic market for car doorframes, automotive and industrial chains on the back of good growth in the user industries, and higher exports. This contributed to the higher growth in turnover of this segment by 34% and profit before interest and tax by 26%. Though the European economies have not revived in full, demand from the Company’s customers in these economies was higher on account of the superior quality and value proposition provided by the products of the Company. Demand from overseas customers and the French subsidiary of the Company increased during the year. The Company enhanced capacity and productivity in addressing the growing automotive chain requirements of Original Equipment Manufacturers and the replacement market. Because of the growth of the passenger car industry by 30% and particularly of those models for which doorframes are manufactured by the Company, the doorframe segment grew by 17% in volume terms. The product range in the railway sections business was enhanced with the commencement of the manufacture of wall and roof assemblies for passenger coaches. Riding on the growth of the passenger car industry and the better response to some of the models for which doorframes are manufactured by the Company, the doorframe segment grew by 17% in volume terms.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

Profits and Profitability

 

Prices of key raw materials like steel remained volatile during the year under review. High inflation accentuated by high oil prices arising out of the political unrest in the Middle East and North Africa increased input costs significantly. The Company’s focus on cost reduction through operational efficiencies and partial pass through of the cost increases enabled it to maintain the operating margin, before exceptional items at 7.4%. During 2009-10, the Company had provided for the likely diminution in the value of its investment in Tubular Precision Products (Suzhou) Company Limited, the overseas subsidiary in China. This subsidiary complied with all statutory requirements as applicable in China for winding up and a formal winding up communication was received in March, 2011. During the current financial year, the Company earned a non-recurring income of Rs.206.000 millions from the sale of some of its land and building. Riding on the back of improved performance of all the business segments of the Company and the strengthened working capital management, the cash generated from operations was 70% higher, at Rs.2570.000 milliond, during the year as compared to the previous year.

The gain on assignment is accounted over the residual tenor of the receivables sold as against upfront recognition in earlier years. Had CIFCL recognized the gain upfront as in earlier years, consolidated Profit before Interest and Tax and consolidated Profit after Tax would have been higher by Rs.152.600 millions and Rs.92.200 millions respectively for the quarter and nine months ended 31st December, 2011. This change is also in line with the draft revised guidelines on Securitization transaction issued by Reserve Bank of India in September 2011.

 

b) Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has issued an Order dated 3rd January 2012 directing member companies of the Indian Motor Third Party Insurance Pool to provide for Motor Pool losses, calculated at an ultimate loss ratio of 159%, 188%, 200% and 213% for the years 2007-08 to 2010-11 respectively and relaxed the Solvency Margin ratio required to be maintained for the next 4 years commencing 31st March 2012. The industry is awaiting guidance from IRDA on the various clarifications it has sought through the General Insurance Council including the loss ratio for the year 2011-12.

 

Pending clarification from IRDA, Cholamandalam MS General Insurance Company Limited.,(CMSGICL), a Subsidiary of the Company, has estimated the share of losses from Indian Motor Pool Third Party Insurance for the nine months period ended December 2011 as Rs.33.60 Cr. In the event that the Motor Pool Loss is required to be provided for all the years from 2007-08102011-12, Management of CMSGICL has estimated that an additional sum of Rs.117.50 Cr. is required by 31st March 2012.
