OPERATING RESULTS

 

The Company maintained growth momentum in the current year also. Expansion in manufacturing capacity and outsourcing business backed by strong market demand for the Company’s products across all segments led to sales turnover growing from Rs. 5630.200 Millions in the previous year to Rs. 7517.800 Millions, a growth of 33.53%. The profit margins however remained under pressure throughout the year mainly due to rising costs of energy, inputs and excise duty. This resulted in the profit before and after tax remaining at a level of Rs. 337.100 Millions and Rs. 234.300 Millions, registering a growth of 10.31% and 14.52% respectively over the previous year.

 

EXPANSION/DIVERSIFICATION

 

The expansion at Kassar (Haryana) plant to additionally produce about 2.45 million square meters of tiles per annum has been commissioned in the year under review and production started from 14th June, 2010. With this expansion, the manufacturing capacity of the Company has increased to about 19.15 millions square meters per annum. In addition, the Company also commissioned three new gas based power generators of about one MW each with heat recovery units, becoming operational from June, 2010. Further, the Company entered into the business of outsourcing and sale of bathroom fittings during the year.

 

SHARE CAPITAL

 

During the year under review, the existing fully paid up equity share of Rs. 10 each was sub-divided/split into five fully paid up equity shares of Rs. 2 each effective from 11th November, 2010.

 

Further, unissued preference capital of Rs. 100.000 Millions was cancelled and the equity share capital of the Company increased to that extent.

 

Further, keeping future business growth requirements in mind, the Company also obtained the permission to raise funds through QIPs and/or private placement, among others, to the extent of Rs. 1000.000 million and also to raise the limit of investment by NRI/foreign institutional investors, among others, from 30% to 40%.

 

INDUSTRIAL SCENARIO AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The ceramic tile industry in the country grew in double digits for the last couple of years. This trend is likely to continue due to rise in the income levels of middle class and huge investments expected in real estate and infrastructure in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17).

 

Due to a proactive approach and sound marketing strategies, the Company was able to outperform the industry average of 12-15% and has grown at a five year-CAGR of 25.12%.

 

The pressure on profit margins is likely to remain due to

(i)                   Increase in various cost components like raw materials, energy, manpower and interest and

(ii)                 The competitive pressures due to continuing creation/expansion of more capacities.

 

The creation of more capacities by the unbranded players continues to be an opportunity for the leading manufacturers of branded products, like the Company, to expand and further strengthen their outsourcing business.

 

SUBSIDIARY/JOINT VENTURE COMPANIES

 

SR Continental Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary company, continued its business of manufacturing colours used in ceramic industry and trading/outsourcing of tile adhesive/grouts. Additionally, the Company has also started business of outsourcing and selling of ceramic tiles.

 

Somany Global Limited, another wholly-owned subsidiary company continued its operations of selling imported and other high-end tiles and sanitary wares through its own and franchisee retail showrooms named ‘SOMANY GLOBAL’.

 

The Annual Report does not contain the financial statement of their subsidiaries pursuant to circular no 2/2011 dated 8th February, 2011 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The Board of Directors hereby undertake that the audited accounts and related information of subsidiary companies, where applicable, will be made available upon request. The said documents will also be available for inspection during business hours at registered office of the Company as well as at the registered office of the subsidiary companies.

 

There was no major business activity in M/s Somany Keraben Private Limited, a  50:50 joint venture between the Company and M/s Keraben, Spain.

 

The statement required under Section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956 in respect of subsidiary companies is appended.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMY GROWTH

 

The global economy witnessed a negative growth of 0.6% in 2009 and rebounded to 4.9% in 2010 and is expected to grow at 4.2% in 2011, owing to rising oil and commodity prices and the European debt crisis The Indian economy grew 8% in 2009-10 and 8.6% in 2010-11.

 

GLOBAL CERAMIC TILES INDUSTRY

 

The world economic slowdown in 2009 adversely affected the ceramic tiles sector, and the world tile production fell for the first time in the sector’s industrial history.

 

Production: World tile production dropped to 8,515 mn sqm in 2009 against 8,520 mn sqm in 2008. There was a geographical shift in tile production from the industry’s traditional European base to the nascent economies of Asia, North Africa and the Middle East. The 27 EU nations, accounting for a substantial share in the global tile production, reported a 25% production drop in 2009. Despite a sharp downturn in Europe and America, there was a positive trend in Asia and Africa, which grew 7.1% and 11.9% respectively. Asia produced 5,542 mn sqm in 2009, bringing its share of the world production to 65.1%. Of the total production in Asia, China alone accounted for nearly two-thirds of tile production and 42.3% of the tile industry’s global output. India emerged as the world’s third-largest manufacturer and consumer of ceramic tiles.

 

Consumption: The world tile consumption grew only 1.3% to 8,460 mn sqm in 2009 compared with 3.6% in 2008 and an average of 8% during the previous five years. European tile demand declined by 18.8%, while Asia continued to dominate with the highest demand growth at 8.2% resulting in a total consumption of 5,273 mn sqm.

 

INDIAN CERAMIC INDUSTRY

 

The Indian ceramic tile industry is estimated at Rs. 14, 0000.000 Millions, growing at a 15% CAGR per annum over the last five years, except 2009, beating the global average growth of 6% per annum. The industry is estimated to be equally divided between branded and unbranded products. The manufacturing of unbranded products is concentrated in Morbi (Gujarat). There is a changing industry trend, with an increased preference for branded products.

 

Production: India is the third-largest ceramic tiles manufacturer in the world after China and Brazil, with a total annual production of 490 mn sqm in 2009, registering a growth of 25.6%. This growth was driven by substantial investments in end-user segments (housing, commercial and retail, real estate, healthcare, hospitality and infrastructure).

 

Consumption: Rapid Indian economy growth at around 8% over the past few years, resulted in rising disposable incomes, affordability and urbanisation, leading to a surge in ceramic tile consumption. The annual ceramic tile consumption grew to 494 mn sqm in 2009 against 403 mn sqm in the previous year.

 

INDUSTRY GROWTH DRIVERS

 

Rising discretionary spending: Per capita income grew from ` 46,492 in 2009-10 to ` 54,527 in 2010-11, increasing affordability in the hands of the Indian consumers, who are gradually shifting to lifestyle products. Discretionary spending in premium products is expected to increase to 70% of household annual spending by 2025.

 

Growing urbanisation: Over the last decade, India’s population grew 1.38%, while urban population grew at 28%. Urban India accounts for 28% of the total population, which is expected to touch 41% by 2030, resulting in further growth for the real estate sector.

 

Housing shortage: The housing shortage in India’s urban areas is expected to increase from 19.300 million units in 2008 to 21.700 million units by 2014. Shortage in rural areas is expected to decrease from 26.700 million units in 2008 to 19.700 million units by 2014.

 

Replacement demand: With an increase in disposable incomes, urbanisation and lifestyle changes, consumers are replacing traditional low end tiles with superior quality. The demand from the replacement market is a mere 12% in India compared with 40% in Spain, Italy and China, indicating a huge opportunity for high-end tile makers.

 

Growing middle-class: The Indian middleclass (annual income of ` Rs. 0.350 Million to Rs. 1.700 Millions) is expected to increase from 160 million people in 2009-10 to 267 million people by 2015-16. By 2025-26, the number of middle-class Indian households is likely to double from 2015-16 levels to 547 million individuals

 

Shifting preference towards tiles: A growing awareness of tile usage and exposure to global trends through the electronic media, led to a transformation in the concept of tile usage. From a convenient product, tiles are now fashion and lifestyle products.

 

Favourable macro-economic policies: Availability of affordable credit propelled a growth in the Indian housing space, with housing loans increasing from ` 2 trillion in 2006 to ` 2.9 trillion in 2009

 

Low per capita consumption: India’s per capita tile consumption is 0.42 sqm, one of the lowest in the world compared with China’s 2.26 sqm, and more than 5 sqm in some European countries. The increase in disposable income and urbanisation is expected to enhance Indian tile consumption.

 

Commercial real estate: With the emergence of India as a preferred global outsourcing hub for manufacturing and service industries, commercial real estate demand grew. Progressive liberalization and relaxation of FDI norms will drive demand growth for commercial spaces at 20-22% over five years. Major demand is expected from the IT/ITeS sectors, requiring more than 250 million sq. ft of office space by 2012-13

 

Organised retail: The Indian retail sector is estimated at about US$ 500 billion in 2009-10. With increasing disposable income and rising aspirations, retail sector size is expected to reach US$ 900 billion by 2014. Further, retail space of 323 million sq. ft is expected to be added by 2012.

 

Hospitality sector: With India emerging as a preferred tourist destination, Indian tourism is expected to grow at a 9% CAGR over the next 10 years. The country expects to add nearly 90,000 rooms in the next five years in luxury, upscale, midscale and budget hotels, 143% more than the existing 62,404 rooms in 2009-10, providing an impetus to high-end ceramic tile demand.  Healthcare sector: The Indian healthcare sector is valued at US$ 50 billion and accounts for 5% of GDP. With India emerging as a medical tourism hub, growth in lifestyle-related health issues, improved healthcare insurance penetration, rising treatment expenses, government initiatives and increasing disposable income, the sector is expected to double its size to US$ 100 billion by 2015.

 

Airport modernisation: The government willinvest around US$ 7.5 billion for airport infrastructure development under the revised Eleventh Five Year Plan It plans to modernise, re-develop and upgrade around 80 airports. Further, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) will upgrade 35 non-metro airports in the country at an estimated cost of around US$ 1 billion and modernise the airports of various metros, owing to a growing thrust in the tourism industry and airport infrastructure development, providing a tremendous opportunity to tile manufacturers.
