LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Subject is into manufacture and distribution of Tapered Roller Bearings, Components and accessories for the Automotive Sector and the Railway Industry. It also provides maintenance contract services.

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

During the year, overall net sales grew by 46% primarily due to a 82% increase in exports compared to 2009 and 34% growth in domestic sales to Rs.3190.000 millions compared Rs.2371.000 millions in 2009. The Company’s Plant in Jamshedpur operated at capacity.

 

Accordingly, Profit before tax went up by 59% to Rs.713.000 millions primarily due to volume gain and profitability improvements through cost management.

 

Production at Jamshedpur Plant in terms of equivalent bearings registered an increase of 55% in 2010.

 

EXPANSION PROJECT

 

The Company has decided to undertake an Expansion Project to expand its tapered roller bearing manufacturing capacity in India by approximately 2.4 million races of up to 8 inch tapered roller bearings per annum in view of the growing demand in construction, other off-highway vehicles, heavy trucks and other commercial transportation systems both in India and globally. Work relating to this project is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2011 and commercial production is expected to start in the second quarter of 2011. This project will require an estimated investment of Rs.360.000 millions.

 

FINANCE

 

Working capital was managed well in 2010 resulting in generation of adequate cash flows. Pending investment of such funds in suitable growth opportunities in India, it was temporarily parked in debt based schemes offered by various Mutual Funds. Receivables continued to be managed well, as a result of which the number of days outstanding for domestic receivable at the end of 2010 had come down to 56 days compared to 63 days at the end of last year. Inventory management continued to remain under focus of the management team. At the end of the year the overall inventory rose to Rs.1053.000 millions mainly due to increased level of operations.

 

During the year, the Company did not borrow any fund to meet its working capital or other needs and ended the year debt-free – both secured and unsecured.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Bearing Industry Structure and Development

 

The Indian economy emerged from the global downturn with a robust 8.5% growth in 2010. Most of the companies have used the downturn to make them lean and although it has been a somewhat painful process, the future looks more promising. While the Indian consumers maintained their spending even in the downturn, the capital investments were put on hold by many companies. This impacted the industrial segments. As the government increases its thrust on the infrastructure build, the economic growth will accelerate.

 

The current size of anti-friction bearings market inclusive of imports would be approximately Rs.55 billion. With rapid industrialization, the Indian bearings industry has more than doubled over the last five years and has registered annual gains well above both the regional and global averages. With increased infrastructure and industrialization spends, this trend should continue into the next five years as well. India is among the fastest growth markets for bearings. Close to 40% of the total demand is met through imports with the balance being met by indigenous products.

 

The prospects of the bearing industry are directly linked to the performance of two key sectors viz., automotive and infrastructure. The bearing industry comprises mainly ball and roller bearings. In India, to a large extent, roller bearings account for about 50% of the total bearing market.

 

Business Review

 

The Company manufactures Tapered Roller Bearings in its Jamshedpur Plant. These bearings cater to medium and heavy trucks, off highway markets in India, railways and Timken Company’s global requirements. The Company meets the demand for other types of bearings viz., large size tapered roller bearings, spherical roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings and specialty ball bearings by sourcing these from other Timken Company plants globally.

 

During the year, the Company achieved a net sales of Rs.4629.000 millions – an increase of 46% over 2009. Such an increase in net sales could be made possible due to an 82% increase in export sales accompanied by a 34% increase in domestic sales. The Company’s Plant in Jamshedpur operated at capacity in 2010.

 

The Company’s product portfolio has been diversifying with continued emphasis on value added products and services. In 2010, the Company launched a new line of spherical roller bearing, steel housed units and elastomeric and steel couplings designed specially to maximize speed, precision and efficiency in machine tool applications.

 

Leveraging the Timken Technology Centre at Bangalore, the Company is working on applications for heavy truck, rail and infrastructure industries.

 

Opportunities, Threats and Outlook

 

As Indian infrastructure develops and the industry modernises, there are opportunities opening up for the bearings industry. A rough estimate of Indian bearings market pegs at around Rs. 55 billion with growth rates percentage expected in teens for next few years creating significant opportunities for their Company.

 

Innovation has become the key word and experts are already working on new possibilities. It is felt that conventional systems have evolved to the point where further refinements can only result in modest performance and capacity gains. As a result, it is felt that the future will witness technologies which help in efficient ways to create, transfer and control power. These technologies can have endless societal impacts, from improved energy efficiency that saves businesses and consumers money to reduced emissions that help sustain their environment.

 

There is an increasing trend of designing and manufacturing of heavy industrial equipments in India which has resulted in customers asking for design and application engineering knowledge and assistance. In many applications, bearings can be the limiting factor in increasing the power density of the equipment and also one of the first components to get damaged. Hence working with customers, to help them make optimum design choices is becoming an important customer expectation now.

 

Customers are asking for more competitiveness and responsiveness from bearing industry, which would require companies to regionalize production bases closer to customers.

 

With development in infrastructure sector in India, the bearings industry is expected to witness a significant increase in demand, especially in large sized bearings. Further, consumers are getting more demanding and with product liability and safety issues getting more stringent, there will be a need for a qualitative improvement in the performance of the bearings. Meeting these two requirements in a competitive fashion is the key challenge for the bearings industry.

 

Bearing industry also faces the issues of increased cost of production due to the rise in price of inputs especially steel. On the other hand, cost-competitiveness due to higher import duties on raw materials (steel tubes, steel bars, grinding wheels, etc) also acts as a constraint.

 

Counterfeit products also pose a threat to the industry. Low quality duplicate bearings not only lead to crucial downtime for customers but also tarnish the quality and brand value of superior manufacturers. Efforts have to be taken by manufacturers to educate customers on the importance of using genuine high quality bearings. Counterfeiting also violates intellectual property, such as patents and trademarks.

 

Because counterfeits look like and are marketed like genuine, premium-brand products, it usually takes a trained expert to identify them. Premium manufacturers invest continuously to develop their technology and improve the quality and value of their products. When counterfeiters copy the look of industrial bearings – and apply respected brand names that aren’t theirs – they are infringing upon the rights of the manufacturer. The World Bearing Association (WBA) has launched an awareness campaign to inform about safety hazards arising from counterfeit bearings. Their initiative is aimed at sensitizing the public on the dangers associated with counterfeits.
