The Equipment business grew by 11% over the previous year. The Welding Equipment numbers sold were 22% more than that of last year – driven by a 45% increase in DC-MMAW Equipment sales numbers. The Project Engineering Business just made past the last year level, as the order flow improved only

 

towards the end of the year by creating an order inventory of over Rs.40.000 Millions; most of this will be executed in the first quarter of this year.

 

EXPORTS

 

During the year, the exports registered a growth of about 12% compared to the previous year. The Export Income during the financial year 2010-11 was at Rs.278.200 Millions (Rs. 248.200 Millions)*. The growth in exports was achieved through Welding Consumables and Project Sales.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

BUSINESS SCENARIO AND PERFORMANCE SNAP SHOT

 

In the financial year 2010-11, the Indian economy grew at about 9%, powered by consumer spending and growth in infrastructure related industries and project. Majority of the Welding growth was driven by power, oil and gas, steel construction and railways. The year was also marked by high inflation and postponement of the much expected CAPEX plans of the industry. In the second half of the last financial year, raw material prices went up substantially putting severe pressure on the margins. Their Company could not pass on the increase in the raw material price due to severe competition from the global as well as domestic competitors. The pressure on the margins was particularly high in general purpose welding electrodes and the solid wire business. In such scenario, the real challenge was managing of product mix and the operating costs, the success in which has enabled us to mitigate the negative impact on margins, to some extent. Business of Consumables grew by 14% over the last year and Equipment registered a growth of 11%. The profit on Consumables dropped by 2% and on Equipment by 1%.

 

Overall Export business grew to Rs.280.000 Millions from Rs.250.000 Millions. This growth in Exports came particularly from Project business, whereas the Welding business in Overseas Markets actually dropped to Rs.190.000 Millions from Rs.210.000 Millions. However, with the oil prices hardening, HY2 business in export markets was higher than business in HY1. They are expecting that the growth trend will continue in the next year.

 

Company’s expansion of capacity of Solid Wires was completed during the year at Raipur Plant. The volume of business in this segment has shown significant growth and would continue to grow in the near future. They expect to capture substantial market share in this segment.

 

The Company continues to maintain its’ unique position as a leader in Quality in the Industry. This is evidenced by the acceptance of their special products, with special / customized attributes for critical applications, by special fabricators in the Oil and Gas Sector, Power sector and Equipment fabrication with special MOC. Their quality labs are regularly upgraded to provide certification of stringent performance qualifications demanded for new welding applications in the growing infra sector.

 

INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS

 

The year was marked by high inflation. The total operating revenues for the year reported a growth of 13%. The total consumable business for the year was Rs.2230.000 Millions registering a growth of about 14% over the previous year. The Equipment business was over Rs.710.000 Millions registering a growth of around 11% over the previous year.

 

The other income was at Rs.30.400 Millions (Rs.46.300 Millions, last year – out of which Rs. 26.900 Millions was from sale of fixed assets), mainly accruing from prudent Management of Investments and exchange rate difference. The material costs as a percentage to sales at 60% (last year 57%) were higher on account of the hardening of raw material prices during the second half of the year and which could not be fully passed on to customers. Also, the sales product mix grew more in favour of solid wires, which conventionally have lower margins. They are continuously working at strategic sourcing of raw materials and improving the sales product mix of wires, especially for the high value business in oil and gas, power, etc.

 

Budgetary control of other operating expenses resulted in a slightly improved ratio to sales over last year. While the controls on spares and consumable stores resulted in reduced costs, the increase in energy costs due to tariff hikes and power supply outages added to the manufacturing costs. Transportation costs were up by Rs. 4.700 Millions, essentially due to growth in sales. As a ratio to sales, this was maintained at 1% through tight Management of transport contracts.

 

The effective tax rate for the year has declined from 29% to 28%, due to increase in profits from Silvassa Unit, tax free income from Mutual Funds and reduction in surcharge. The PBT was at Rs. 357.700 Millions for financial year 2010-11 compared to Rs. 369.000 Millions (Rs. 342.000 Millions, excluding extra ordinary income) for financial year 2009-10. The ratio of PBT to sales is 12.15% for financial year 2010-11 compared to 14.15% for financial year 2009-10.

 

The drop in PBT commensurate with increase in sales is due to increase in material cost to sales. As explained, this is because the increase in Raw Material costs could not be fully passed on to customers and the increase in sales mostly came from Wire products, where the margins are conventionally lower.

 

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

 

The Company funded all its operating expenses and capital investments from internal accruals and continues to be DEBT FREE Company as on 31st March, 2011.

 

The Capital expenditure of Rs. 101.400 Millions was invested primarily on additional capacity for wire products. This has since been commissioned and expected to add over 30% to previous capacity. Some investments were made to upgrade the production lines for process quality and production efficiency improvements. The R and D infrastructure for equipment was augmented for new technology absorption.

 

The working capital investment (net current assets including current investment) increased by Rs. 186.500 Millions, an increase of about 6%. Investments increased by Rs. 146.100 Millions as a result of deployment of surplus cash in debt and liquid schemes of Mutual Funds. The growth in value of debt funds, as on 31st March, 2011 is around Rs. 4.700 Millions.

 

The inventory holding period is 61 days in the current year as against 53 days in the previous year. It was a strategic decision to hold inventory of critical raw material in anticipation of likely raw material price increase from April 2011. The debtors are 39 days as at 31st March, 2011 as against 29 days due to an increase in sales to direct customers on credit. This includes an amount of Rs. 12.700 Millions over a period of 01 year due from the project business, the delay for which is due to commissioning delays at customer behest; however, these dues for payment are confirmed by the customers. Current liabilities are up by 29% due to sales growth and payables at the end of the year.

 

OUTLOOK, CONCERNS AND RISKS

 

Outlook for financial year 2011-12 looks generally encouraging with the provision of a higher Central Government budgetary allocation to the infra sector and the promised focus to raise Manufacturing GDP from 15% to 25% over the next 10 years. Expansion plan of railways for manufacturing of additional 18,000 wagons also provides another growth opportunity. However, rising inflation, increase in the major raw material prices and hardening interest rates are major concerns. New competition from global players setting up manufacturing activities locally would increase pressure on the margins. They plan to implement strategic initiatives related to strengthening the customer relationships, new business development and new product launches in our marketing plan and cost control, productivity improvements in their manufacturing. These initiatives would enable increase the market share at reasonable margins.
