Overview

The Company imports fine marble blocks; it processes and refines these blocks through polishing and waxing at its Kanjurmarg and Silvassa facilities. It provides marble designed for interior and exterior flooring for bathrooms, entryways, fireplaces as well as living and dining areas.

 

Natural marble: The Company is one of India’s largest natural marble importers from Italy, Spain, Turkey, Egypt and China. Its marble varieties are available pan-India in over 200 shades.

 

Engineered marble: Engineered marble is a cost-effective alternative to natural marble slabs; it bridges the gap between nature and technology by preserving the look and feel of marble with improvised properties, while eliminating flaws typically found in natural marble. In engineered marble, 95% of the material is natural marble, the remainder being resins, pigments and additives which impart consistency and durability. The Company’s engineered marble is available at more than 60 shades and two standard sizes. It has a state-of-the-art marble processing facility at Silvassa, deploying Breton technology (integrated automated plant available with only a handful of companies in the world).

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Global economy

The global economy is reported to have grown by 4.9% in 2010 on the back of a negative growth of 0.6% in 2009. It is forecast to grow at a lower rate of 4.2% in 2011, on account of increasing commodity and oil prices and the European debt crisis (Source: Economic Times, May 25, 2011).

 

Global ceramic tiles industry

Consequent to a resurgence in growth, global tile production and consumption increased robustly in 2010. Global production declined marginally to 8,515 mn sq. mt in 2009 compared with 8,520 mn sq. mt in 2008. Italy, which is a large tile producer, reported an output growth of 5.3% and a turnover growth of 2.7%. 2010 witnessed particularly positive signs in increased consumption in the markets of the Far East and Asia (around +17%), the Gulf region (+7.7%), Eastern Europe (+5%) and Latin America (+4%). By contrast, a slight fall was reported in Western Europe (-0.6%). India continued to remain the world’s third-largest producer and consumer of ceramic tiles (Source: Ceramic World Review).

 

Outlook: Global economy recovery is still fragile. Due to heavy investment in infrastructure in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) economies, tile consumption growth is expected to be robust in these countries. BRIC economies contributed around 36.3% to world GDP (at PPP) in 2010. It is expected that they will contribute almost twice as much to global growth as the G3 is in the next decade. The global ceramic tile industry is expected to touch 9,278 mn sq. mt by 2015 (Source: prweb.com, September 3, 2010, Goldman Sachs Research, May 2010).

 

Indian economy

The Indian economy sustained a healthy 8.6% growth in 2010-11. India’s per capita income increased 17.9% from Rs. 46,492 in 2009-10 to Rs. 54,835 in 2010-11.

 

The Indian tile demand is estimated to be around 550 mn sq. mt in 2010 in terms of volume and around Rs. 15,000 cr in terms of revenue.

 

The organised sector is estimated at Rs.70000.000 Millions, accounting for 47% of the total industry and fairly consolidated with a few players accounting for an 80% market share. The Rs. 8,000-crore unorganized sector is located primarily in Gujarat and accounts for 53% of the total industry size.

 

There is a decline in capacity addition growth by some unorganised sector companies, indicative of evolving consumer preferences. While there is a robust demand for quality products, unorganized players failed to invest significantly in highquality products. The organised players continue to invest in capacity addition, exceeding the industry’s growth rate. By 2015, 750-900 mn sq. mt of space will be added every year. (Source: McKinsey Global Institute report on Urbanization)

 

Increased capacity additions already witnessed in developments:

 

 

Commercial space: Commercial space demand across major cities is estimated at 160 million sq. ft over the next four years (Source: Economic Times, April 4, 2011).

 

Residential: Residential real estate demand is most active in India with smaller towns and cities, witnessing heightened construction activity and it is estimated to grow at 20% CAGR by 2014 to 3.67 million units (Source:

Economic Times, April 4, 2011).

 

Housing shortage: India’s urban housing shortage is forecast to escalate from 19.3 million units in 2008 to 21.7 million units by 2014. Shortage in rural areas is expected to decline from 26.7 million units in 2008 to 19.7 million units by 2014 (CRISIL Research, December 2010).

 

Retail: India is the world’s third-most attractive retail destination with an estimated size of USD 395 billion in 2011

(Source: IBEF, June 2011). Over the next four years, it is expected to grow to USD 785 billion, fuelled by robust economic growth, high disposable incomes and rapid organised retail infrastructure construction.

 

Hospitality: India’s hospitality sector is expected to see investments of over USD 11 billion by 2012, with the proposed entry of 40 international brands (Source: IBEF, April 2011). An estimated 20,500 rooms are expected to be completed by 2015 across 12 major Indian cities of which 60% will be budget-class, and the remaining luxury (Source: Financial Express, May 11, 2011).

 

Healthcare: India’s healthcare sector is likely to see an increase in investment from USD 34.2 billion in 2006 to USD 78 billion by 2012. (Source: Indianivesh research, March 4, 2011). The government plans to establish around 300 medical colleges in five years.

 

Airport modernisation: The Indian government pledged an investment of around USD 7.5 billion to develop airport infrastructure under the revised Eleventh Plan (Source: Emkay Research). The government plans to modernise, redevelop and upgrade 80 airports. Additionally, AAI (Airports Authority of India) plans to upgrade 35 non-metro airports at a projected cost of USD 1 billion and upgrade various metro city airports.

 

Further, rising urbanisation and increasing prosperity is expected to translate to the Indian middle-class, growing by almost 100 million in the next 20 years. This prosperity coupled with a younger population base will see the middle-class and rich households grow tenfold – up from 5% in 2000 to 53% in 2030

 

Low per capita consumption: Indian per capita tile consumption of 0.42 sq mt is one of the world’s lowest (China 2.26 sq. mt and world average 1.24 sq. mt). Disposable income growth and urbanisation are expected to enhance

Indian tile consumption (CRISIL Research, December 2010).

1.       The above financial results were reviewed by the Audit committee and thereafter taken on record by the Board of Directors at their meeting held on 3rd May, 2012 and audited by the Statutory auditors.

2.       Power and Fuel figures are after netting off sale of power generated through windmill of Rs. 6.141 Millions and Rs. 54.456 Millions for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2012 respectively (corresponding quarter and year ended March 31, 2011 Rs. 4.638 Millions and Rs. 51.836 Millions respectively ) and sale of power generated through Gas Turbine of Rs. 12.820 Millions and Rs. 61.716 Millions respectively for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2012 (corresponding quarter and year ended March 31, 2011 Rs. 11.031 Millions).

3.       The performance for the quarter was adversely impacted due to depreciation of rupee against US dollar. This has resulted in lower sales in imported vitrified tiles and marble.

4.       The management has identified obsolete, slow moving and defective inventory of Rs. 344.747 Millions (previous period Rs Nil) and the same has been written off as exceptional items.

5.       The Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for acquiring 51% of equity shares in New Vardhman Vitrified Private Limited. The said company is setting up a tile plant with a capacity to manufacture of 8.70 million square meter (approx.) per annum of vitrified and wall Tiles which is expected to commence production within six months. With this arrangement,the Company will mitigate the risk of foreign exchange as well as dependency on imported products.

 

6.       The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 are the balancing figures in respect of the full financial year ended March 31, 2012 and the published figures upto December 31,

 

7.       The figures have been regrouped/restated/reclassified/rearranged, wherever necessary, to make them comparable
