LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

OPERATIONAL:

 

The Company’s performance was satisfactory with sales increasing to Rs.15542.097 Millions from Rs.10352.222 Millions and Net Profit growing to Rs.305.197 Millions from Rs.155.075 Millions previous year. The results of the current year include figures of amalgamating companies and are therefore, to that extent, not comparable with those of previous year.

 

The Company strengthened several organizational processes across a wide range of functions with a view to enhancing its business capabilities. It continues to deliver strong overall performance this year and its growth plans continue to remain on track.

 

Revenues from retail and branded jewellery operations have recorded an impressive 82% growth in FY 2010-11, rising to Rs.1595.100 Millions (Rs.876.070 Millions last year). The Company's focus on retail and branding operations is delivering the desired results. The Company has 114 points of sales in 26 cities across India, reaching over 85% of the target consumer segment. The Company's retail ventures ‘Diti’ in India and "Joliesse" in Hong Kong continue to record impressive growth.

 

The consolidated sales revenue increased by 30% to Rs.24565.152 Millions (Rs.18899.587 Millions). Net profit registered a gain of 12% to Rs.568.447 Millions (Rs.507.749 Millions). EPS for the period (Basic and Diluted) stood at Rs. 7.50 (Rs.7.32) per share (face value of Rs.2/-).

 

 

PROSPECTS:

 

Shrenuj Botswana (Pty.) Limited, a step-down subsidiary has commenced a new jewellery manufacturing facility in Botswana, the very first in the country. This new unit will not only contribute incremental revenue but also lead to improved captive consumption of the high end diamonds produced within Botswana. This unit will also gain from tax advantage enjoyed by Botswana based units for export to the US markets. The Company is adding manpower to create additional capacities that will support Diamond manufacturing operations in Botswana. In addition to the normal bridal jewellery, we have developed a special brand ''ZANZOTH'' which will be first ''Made in Botswana'' brand. The Company will also continue to improve the throughput of their existing units through technological and skill upgradations.

 

The Company has developed many successful international diamond jewellery brands, such as Arisia, Sveni and Bhavya (India and Middle East), Valina and Caro 74 (USA), Fiana (France), Scintilla88 and Master Cut (Australia), and Amante88 (Hong Kong). In addition, Shrenuj is a leading participant in DTC''s Forevermark Programme in Japan and India and one of the authorised manufacturers of Platinum Guild International.  These brands are managed independently by the company's marketing teams in each country, backed by a strong downstream distribution worldwide. The Company now intends to garner a larger share of the jewellery value chain pie and targets to increase its presence in the higher end of the value chain, i.e.  jeweler manufacturing and retailing.

 

The Company has launched the new "Embrazo" Collection in US during the Christmas Season and is now ready to unveil "Zanzoth" collection in near future.

 

The Company has recently acquired state of the art Sarin Galaxy 1000 diamond planning machines in Mumbai and Botswana, the very first in their regions. The Company's focus on technology upgradation has helped them remain at the forefront of product quality and efficiencies in manufacturing operations. These machines will ramp up the productivity and reduce tolerance to bare minimum level in diamond operations.

 

The Company expects to continue its growth momentum in an expanding global diamond and jewellery market by organic and inorganic growth. Overall market sentiments have improved and the consumer confidence indices in all the key markets are showing positive growth.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

MACRO-ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

 

Despite the continued after-effects of the economic crisis, the global economy continued to expand. After sharp deceleration in 2008 and contraction in 2009, global GDP is estimated to have grown by 3.9 percent in 2010, led by growing domestic demand in developing economies. However, macroeconomic problems and consequent volatility remained a dominant factor, and the recovery is expected to be slower with factors such as contagion in Euro zone, oil shocks resulting from political uncertainty in Middle-East and rising commodity prices impacting the recovery.

 

Amidst the churn emanating from global economic crisis, Indian economy registered a growth of 8.6% during fiscal 2010-11, with revival in agriculture output and sustained momentum in manufacturing. The impetus provided by stimulatory monetary and fiscal policies helped the economic recovery, with key indicators such as industrial production, consumer and business confidence and exports showing an uptrend. Fiscal deficit as percentage of GDP came down to 4.8% from 6.3% during the previous year. While inflation remains a key concern, with successive rounds of monetary tightening in recent past expected to impact growth, increased thrust on infrastructure projects, renewed buoyancy in exports and rebound in investment activity would help to sustain the growth momentum. Although global events, especially movement in commodity prices and crude oil, pose a concern, Indian economy is poised to sustain its growth momentum.

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW: DIAMOND INDUSTRY

 

2010-11: Headwinds to recovery

 

After witnessing a pronounced contraction in 2009, the gems and jewellery demand recovered strongly in 2010. The year saw a forward ripple effect, with re-stocking of inventory in the value chain, evident from significant sales growth at cutting centers.

 

This process of supplies, with estimated rough supplies of USD 12.25 billion, there was a mismatch between supply of rough of 9.4%, resulting in a 27% price rise during the year. The parity between the demand for rough, polished and retail markets was restored to a significant extent, signifying a return of the market to normalcy.

 

During 2010, the demand for rough increased substantially, by 77%, almost back top re-recession levels. While we do not expect this pace of growth to sustain going forward, They expect a growth of 21.5% in 2011, majorly on the back of increasing prices rather than volumes.

 

The revival of demand

 

The great impetus to demand across the diamond chain came from the cutting centresupply of polished diamonds, registering an increase of 38% y-o-y, from USD 13.7 billionin 2009 to USD 18.9 billion in 2010, almost at pre-contraction levels. We expect thisdemand growth to continue going forward, albeit at a more sustainable, lower rate.

 

MINING OUTLOOK

 

In recent times, the depletion in mining reserves with no new major discoveries has led to a decelerating rate of growth of rough production. This trend continued in 2010, though rough diamond production from mines is estimated at 125 million carats (valued at USD 12billion approx.), as against 120 million carats in the crisis year of 2009 (valued at USD11.5 billion approx). The stocking of output by the Russian Government contributed to the widening supply-demand gap. We expect this gap to continue in near future, even after mines returning to full production levels. While the new mining development in Zimbabwe might have a marginal contribution to market supply, no other significant discoveries were reported during the year.

 

 

EMERGING TRENDS

 

The gap in rough diamond supply and consequent higher prices has led to an interesting trend, which we expect to pick-up in near term – recycling of diamonds. Development of this secondary market, especially in USA, has been prompted by socio-economic factors. As per industry estimates, the USD 20 billion polished imports in India in 2010 included USD 4-6 billion worth of recycled goods.

 

The rising prices and future expectations of the demand-supply gap have also catalyzeda revival in investment demand for diamonds. With attributes of being safe and discrete and higher values being easily transportable, diamonds as an investment opportunity in hard assets is uniquely poised.

 

The year 2010 witnessed a return of a semblance of normalcy to the diamond pipeline, with healthy growth across all 3 components of the value chain (rough, polished and retail) – in stark contrast to the crippling conditions faced by the industry in2009. While the recent price volatility and supply-demand forecasts pose a unique challenge, the industry has managed one of the severest crises in recent history really well, and the process of stabilization is expected to continue during 2011.

 

Industry Outlook: 2010-11

 

The Indian gems and jewellery industry witnessed strong performance, assisted by revival in global demand. Export of Gems and Jewellery during the year registered a gain of 46.6% over the previous year and stood at US$ 43.14 billion. This assumes importance in light of the fact that the industry contributes 16.67% to India’s total merchandise exports.

 

The export of cut and polished diamonds aggregated to US$ 28.25 billion, growing at81.6% over the previous year, signifying revival of demand in key markets of USA, Middle East, South East Asia and Europe and improved prices. The net export of rough diamonds was valued at US$ 1.08 billion, a growth of over 45%, as compared to a decline of 4.1% during FY 2009-10.

 

 

PRECIOUS METALS SCENARIO

 

Gold

 

The global demand for gold remained strong during the year, reaching a 10-year high of3812.2 tonnes, an increase of 9% year-on-year. In value terms, annual demand reached USD150 billion, an increase of 38%. The major drivers of this demand were robust jeweler demand, purchases by Central Banks and by individuals as a hedge against inflation. Inflationary pressures and currency fluctuations led to an upward pressure on demand. This surge in demand is despite an increase of 24.2% in average price of gold in last year.

 

Gold supply increased by 2% over 2009 to reach 4108 tonnes, across mine supply, Central Bank sales and supply from recycling.

 

Silver

 

The key drivers of demand for silver are jewellery, investments and industrial uses. Global demand for silver during 2010 was 1056.8 million ounces, as compared to 922.2million ounces in 2009, an increase of 14.6%. Silver prices rose by 78% from USD 14.67 per ounce in 2009 to USD 20.19 per ounce in 2010, primarily on the back of strong investment demand from Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), over-the-counter market and physical bullion. Industrial demand for silver also increased by 20.7% over the previous year. The buoyancy in silver prices is expected to continue though at a subdued level.

 

Platinum

 

The global demand for platinum registered an increase of 16% in 2010 to 7.88 million ounces, the key triggers being demand from automotive and industrial sectors. In response, supplies of platinum increased by 0.6% to 6.06 million ounces. While overall platinum demand for jewellery declined by 14% to 2.42 million ounces in 2010, purchases by Chinese jewellery sector were robust. As a result of strong demand conditions, average annual platinum prices rose by 17%, an all-time high.

 

Jewellery Scenario

 

Global jewellery sector demonstrated a strong recovery during 2010, with a 17%year-on-year increase in demand, from 1760.3 tonnes in 2009 to 2059.6 tonnes in 2010.Annual average prices rose 26% and annual jewellery demand globally stood at USD 81 billion.

 

Asian consumers, especially China and India led this demand. Together, these two countries account for 51% of global jewellery and bullion (bars / coins) demand. India led the growth with demand increasing to reach 745.7 tonnes. While the value (rupee price) growth was 20%, volume growth stood at 69%, with resulting gold value demand at Rs. 1342billion. Apart from buoyant festival season demand around Diwali, the expectations of increasing gold prices also generated additional demand.

 

Global retail sales of diamond jewellery during 2010 were estimated at USD 60.17billion, with India accounting for USD 7.28 billion. It is estimated that diamond contenting global retail sales was over 30%, at USD 18.2 billion. While diamond jewellery had a38% share of jewellery retail sales in USA, for India and China this figure was at around10%, signifying the market potential.

 

RETAIL OUTLOOK

 

After two consecutive years of de-growth, retail demand witnessed a growth of 6.8%y-o-y (in USD value). While still below the 12.7% growth achieved in 2007, the recovery is significant. While USA, the largest diamond market registered a steady 7% growth, fast growing markets notably India and China, reported a growth of 37% and 26% respectively.

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 

With continued emphasis on leveraging the Company’s strengths in designing and producing quality products, strong commitments to consumer satisfaction and its global market presence, the management was able to participate in the buoyant markets and registered strong operating performance during the year.

This reflected in a 30% increase in the consolidated sales revenue during 2010-11, to Rs. 24565.152 Millions (Rs.18899.587 Millions). The focus on top-line growth, coupled with continued initiatives to leverage operating efficiencies and controlling costs, resulted in a 7.7% increase in EBIDTA to Rs.1688.016 Millions (Rs. 1567.172 Millions) on a consolidated basis.

 

During the period, sales revenue on stand-alone basis grew to Rs.15542.097 Millions (Rs.10352.222 Millions). EBIDTA for the period stood at Rs.1159.321 Millions (Rs.1030.123 Millions).

PRESS RELEASE:

 

GEM OF A GUINNESS RECORD BY SURAT

 

04 JANUARY 2012

 

SURAT: The sparkling gems cut and polished by the skilled diamond workers in the world's biggest diamond cutting and polishing centre in Surat have found a coveted place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

A diamond ring named 'Tsarevna Swan', which made it to the Guinness Book of World Records recently as a ring studded with most number of diamonds, has a Surat connection.

The 64 mm tall, highly stylized 18 carat white gold ring created by Lobortas Classic Jewellery House of Kiev in Ukraine is set with 2,525 miniscule diamonds exclusively supplied by Shrenuj and Company Limited from its Surat factory.

The Guinness Book of World Records defines this record as 'the most diamonds set in one ring wearable on the human finger'. The ring is studded with a total of 2,525 diamonds in minuscule size ranging from 0.001 to 0.05 carat with total weight of 10.48 carat.

"It is a great honour for us to get an international recognition in the Guinness book of world records. All the 2,525 diamonds were cut and polished exclusively for the Ukraine based jewellery house and the order was executed in the later part of 2011," said a company spokesperson.

"The owner of Tsarevna Swan ring has set the price at $1.3 million (Rs70.000 Millions). The ring is currently being showcased in Keiv, Ukraine and will be taken across various other exhibitions globally, including in India," he added.

This is the second time that the skills of the diamond polishers in Surat have received global recognition.

In April-2010, the Surat-based Bhavani Gems made a record of sorts by polishing 3,333 pieces of world's smallest diamonds from a one carat stone with each stone weighing 0.0003 carat - usually a one carat stone can yield up to 2,000 to 2,500 stones.

The 3,333 pieces of the world's smallest diamonds were specially made for the internationally renowned wristwatch manufacturing company in Switzerland.
