ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The year 2010 witnessed the reemergence of the world economy from the throes of recession caused by the global financial crisis of 2008-09. World economy recorded a growth of 5% percent during the first half of 2010 and deceleratedto about 3% percent during the second half. As fears of a global depression receded in 2009, businesses at first slowed their rate of de-stocking,  and then, as confidence improved, began to  rebuild  depleted inventories.  This  fostered a sharp rebound in industrial  production  and  trade,  which  lasted  through  the  first half  of  2010.  As this phase progressed,   inventory rebuilding and, as a  consequence,   industrial production and trade moved into lower gear in the second half of last year. In the meantime, however, reduced excess capacity, accommodative policies and further improvements in confidence and financial conditions  encouraged investment  and sharply reduced the rate of unemployment. Consumption  also regained strength. Consequently, the recovery become more  self-sustaining, risks  of a double-dip recession in advanced economies receded, and  global activity has started accelerating again.

 

While  growth was visible across geographies, the pace of  economic  growth was  geographically  uneven. The recovery broadly moved at  two  speeds  in emerging  and  developing economies, with appreciable  differences  amongst each  set  of countries. In major advanced economies, economic  growth  was modest, especially considering the depth of the recession in earlier years, reaching  just  3  percent.  In  contrast,  many  emerging  and  developing economies witnessed robust growth, reaching more than 7 percent in 2010.

 

In  India,  the  economy  has emerged with  remarkable  rapidity  from  the slowdown  caused by the global financial crisis. Growth in 2010-11  as  per the  Advance  Estimates  released in January 2011  is  estimated  at  8.6%. Rebound in agriculture and continued momentum in manufacturing, despite the deceleration in services, helped to drive the economy. The slight  slowdown in  industrial  production in the later part of the year was  more  in  the nature  of a road bump than any indication of a long term problem.  On  the demand  side,  a  rise in savings and investment  and  pick-up  in  private consumption have resulted in strong growth of the GDP Inflation however has remained  a concern during a large part of the year, mainly driven by  food prices.

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

The  growth  in  global  revenues was particularly  driven  by  the  strong performances  of  the  Indian  and Russian  operations  and  also  moderate improvement  recorded in the operations in South Africa and North  America. The  Australian operations which experienced strong growth during the  past few  years  appeared to lose some of its momentum. Share  of  international operations in the overall revenue pie increased from 45 per cent to 47  per cent  during  the year depicting an  increasingly  international  character which the Company`s businesses are assuming.
 
On  a standalone basis, the growth was even more pronounced, aided  by  the strong  acceleration in the Indian economy. Growth in revenues  was  driven not  only by robust performance in the domestic business but also by  sales to international markets.
 
While  home  sales grew by about 20 per cent, export growth  was  explosive with an increase of 43 per cent.
 
The  top  line  summary on a standalone basis for 2010-11  was  as  follows registering an impressive growth of 25 per cent:

 

PERFORMANCE OF BUSINESS SEGMENT

 

(Including  information required to be given in the  Management  Discussion and Analysis Report)
 
The  market developments, current year performance and outlook for  various business segments are elaborated below.
 
ABRASIVES
 
Business Profile
 
This  business comprises of the following major product groups viz.  bonded abrasives,   coated  abrasives  (including  non-wovens),  super   abrasives (through a joint venture), and power tools. The operations are carried  out through eleven manufacturing facilities located in India, Russia and China. The  subsidiaries/ related entities located in North America,  Middle  East and Thailand support this business in getting an extended customer reach.
 
On  a  consolidated basis, the Company continues to maintain  a  leadership position  in the Indian market. In the Russian market, the Company  is  the market  leader in bonded abrasives. Customers located in over 50  countries are also serviced through the network of subsidiaries and related entities. Abrasives  are  used in a wide spectrum of industries the  key  among  them being automobile, engineering, fabrication, wood working, home maintenance, construction and infrastructure.
 
Industry Overview
 
The global industry continues to be lead by few players who have a complete portfolio  of abrasive products. There are also a large number  of  players specializing  in specific categories of abrasives. During the  year,  there was  some consolidation in the global industry by acquisition of  a  strong European  bonded  and super abrasives player by  another  global  abrasives player.
 
The  Indian  abrasives  industry continues to be  catered  largely  by  two leading  players.  There are a few smaller players specializing  in  select products. The market is also catered to by imports particularly from China. Many  global abrasive manufacturers have entered the Indian  market  either through sales offices or manufacturing facilities.
 
There  are  three major players in the domestic Russian  industry.  Imports service a sizeable portion of the market. There was no major change in  the industry structure in this market.
 
Market scenario
 
CUMI`s Abrasives business started the year on a very robust note clocking a growth  of 19 percent in the first quarter. With each oncoming quarter  the sales   tempo  was  enhanced,  riding  the  wave  of  resurgence   in   the manufacturing  sector in the Indian and Russian economies. While  sales  in the  Indian market increased by 21 per cent, in the Russian  market  growth was  more  strident  touching 79 per cent.  All  major  product  categories witnessed healthy growth rates.
 
Sale  of custom-built abrasives, which is a key indicator of the health  of the manufacturing industry, registered a steep increase of 37 per cent. The Company  was  able  to leverage the strong ties  established  with  various direct  customers  through  several decades of  partnership  by  delivering quality  products and extending its strong application  engineering  skills and capture the benefits of the buoyancy in demand.
 
Sales  into  construction, fabrication, wood working and  home  maintenance segments  which  are  largely  addressed through  the  trade  channel  also improved  through  the product management approach. Efforts were  taken  to improve   brand  visibility  through  road  shows,  end  user   meets   and participation  in  regional  level exhibitions.  To  harness  the  business opportunities  arising  from infrastructure development in  India,  special focus was given on project sales, particularly in thin wheels.
 
During the year, the Company continued to pursue its strategy of addressing the  complete market spectrum with an appropriate combination of brand  and product.  The  product  portfolio was continuously  upgraded  to  suit  the evolving demands and needs of customers. New product sales during the  year was  Rs.  605  million. The product basket  was  also  critically  reviewed periodically  to  promote  a balance between healthy  margins  and  product volumes.  As  a result, some low margin products were taken off  the  line. Traded  products  were used to address gaps in product portfolio  and  also where they offered a comparative advantage in terms of manufacturing cost.
 
Generic product development especially in the areas of speciality  resinoid products has given the lead over competition in terms of performance  price  parity. Growth in super abrasives and thin wheels was encouraging with  the supply  and development of a slew of new products. Product  differentiation continued to remain the cornerstone of the Company`s competitive strategy.
 
Sales of super abrasive and other products by the joint venture viz.  Wendt India  Limited grew by about 47 per cent, with the Company focusing on  supply of  precision components along with the traditional super abrasive  tooling business,  for select customers. The effective change in the joint  venture partner  is  being  challenged  by  the Company  as  it  is  in  breach  of contractual arrangements and legal requirements.
 
In  the power tools business the Company reinforced its position as a  long term player. Sales increased by 55 per cent to Rs.110 million with  several products  getting  continued patronage from end users.  Relationships  with several  channel  partners,  who play a critical role  in  promoting  these products  were  strengthened. Market presence was  intensified  in  several states  across  India.  The product portfolio  was  strengthened,  both  by addition of products hitherto not in the product basket and also by quality enhancement  and  value engineering of existing products. New  sources  for products  were identified to offer value benefits and also to  service  the pipeline of new products planned for the next year.
 
Manufacturing
 
All  abrasives  plants  functioned  immaculately to  cater  to  the  volume requirements  of the market. Given the strong off take from end users,  the Indian facilities operated at near full capacity in industrial products.
 
Construction  of a new line for manufacture of non-woven abrasives  in  the Tiruvottiyur,  India plant was completed towards the end of the  year.  The facility  was set up with know how from international sources. In the  last two  years, the Company has been offering these products in a small way  by sourcing  them from third party manufacturers. By acquiring the  capability to manufacture this product in house the Company will be able to offer  the complete spectrum of abrasive products.
 
In the bonded abrasives plant in Hosur, India manufacturing process for new varieties  of castable wheels were developed and stabilized. Improved  fast firing  cycles were introduced in kilns for vitrified products  which  will yield benefits in terms of lower fuel consumption.
 
The abrasives plant at Roorkee, India graduated into a reliable source  for bonded and coated abrasives addressing the mass market segment.  Production levels  were stepped up substantially over last year. The  individual  disc coating facility has been fully stabilized for certain sizes.
 
In Volzhsky, Russia re-layout of the manufacturing line was undertaken,  in certain parts of the facility, to accommodate additional equipment designed to  address  the market requirements for specific categories  of  products. Automatic  presses  were put into operation for manufacture of  small  size vitrified  wheels which has helped to widen the product portfolio.  Further work  has  also  been undertaken to increase capacity  for  manufacture  of resinoid products.
 
The  business  witnessed  steep cost increase in  key  raw  materials  like abrasive  grains, glass fabric disc etc. To counter the negative impact  of this, targets for cost savings were undertaken and achieved. In spite of  a double  digit  growth in cost of inputs, the  business  improved  operating margins  from  9  per  cent  to 14 per cent.  This  was  made  possible  by improvement  in  internal  efficiencies (like power  and  fuel  consumption rates, raw material input-output norms, identification of alternate sources for  inputs,  development  of  alternate raw  materials  and  recycling  of materials)  and  externally  on the market  side  by  rationalizing  prices through  a  segmented approach and also through  general  price  increases. Since  the overall mood was positive, the business was able to give  effect to price increases smoothly.
 
2010-11 was a good year in terms of working capital management. Collections were   uniformly  good  and  by  virtue  of  tight  sales   administration, receivables rates were improved. However inventory of certain raw materials was consciously kept high to tide over supply constraints in the market and also hedge against volatilities in prices.

 

CERAMICS
 
Business Profile
 
The  ceramics  business  operates  in  three  niche  product  groups   viz.  industrial  ceramics,  super refractories and anti  corrosives.  Industrial  ceramics business offers alumina and zirconia products of technical ceramic  grades  addressing  wear  and corrosion  protection,  electrical  insulation,  thermal  protection  and  ballistic  protection  requirements.  The   super  refractories   product   group   supplies  fired   and   monolithic   super  refractories, refractory fibre and also refractory design and  installation  services  addressing  the insulation / thermal resistance  requirements  of  industries.  The  refractoryfibre and refractory  design  and  installation  businesses  are  addressed  through joint  ventures.  The  anti  corrosives  product  group  offers acid resistant cements, polymer concrete  cells  and  various  other  products addressing the anticorrosion requirements  of  end  users.
 
The  key  user industries for ceramics business are  power  generation  and  transmission,  coal  washeries, grain handling, sanitary  tiles  and  ware,  ballistic   protection,  cement,  non  ferrous  metals,  iron   and   steel  industries,  carbon  black,  cement, non-ferrous metals,  iron  and  steel,  insulators,  furnace  building,  glass,  petro-chemical  and   construction  industries.
 
The  operations  are  carried out through  eight  manufacturing  facilities  located in India and Russia. The subsidiaries in Australia, Canada,  Middle  East,  China  and  South Africa also support this business  in  getting  an  extended  customer  reach. CUMI Australia also  provides  installation  cum  service facilities. The Company is mainly a regional player with leadership  positions in India and Australia  and also a key position in Russia. The Company also  exports  to  over 30 countries.
 
Industry structure
 
There has been no material change in the industry structure in India, which  is  catered  to by 4-5 major players. CUMI is a market  leader  in  certain  market segments. In Australia, CUMI Australia is one of the leading players  in  the  lined equipment and industrial ceramic tiles industry.  There  are  about  a  dozen  players  in the industry, most  of  whom  market  products imported  from  China and USA. There was no major change  in  the  industry structure during the year.
 
Market scenario
 
The  Ceramics business grew by 27 per cent on a consolidated  basis  during the  year.  In  industrial ceramics, the Company continued  to  pursue  its business  model of designing and manufacturing ceramic tiles in  India  and marketing them through the subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, South  Africa and  lately CUMI China in their respective markets and with  other  markets being  handled  directly  by the Indian operations. Driven  by  the  strong recovery  in  the Indian market and also the revival in many parts  of  the international markets, the business registered a strong growth. The  growth was  to some extent dampened by the decline in turnover in  the  Australian markets during the third and fourth quarters of the year owing to foods  in Australia  and the resultant slowdown in mining and bulk material  handling segments.  Further  supplies from Chinese suppliers who competed  on  price continued  to  be intense. The business increased its share  in  the  lined equipment business. Sales of composite liners in rubber, ceramic and  steel was promising. Sales effort was strengthened by upgrading the  installation facility and also by increasing the sales force.
 
During  the  year,  focused approach in servicing  the  Original  Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in projects for coal and power and offering  solutions to  bulk  material handling operators resulted in a 38 per cent  growth  in sales in India. Sales of wear protection products in international  markets grew by 22 per cent owing to the improved performance of the North American and  European  markets. CUMI`s overseas subsidiaries played a key  role  in stepping  up  sales  in South Africa and China.  Initial supplies  to  new markets  like  Russia and Middle East have prepared the ground  for  future growth.
 
Growth in engineered ceramics business was largely driven by exports  which more  than  doubled on account of supply of structural  ceramic  parts  for certain  niche  market  segments  where the Company  has  gained  a  strong foothold. Metallized ceramics business grew by 30 per cent and 50 per  cent 
in domestic and exports markets respectively.
 
In super refractories, sales of fired and monolithic products grew by  over 31  per  cent during the year in the Indian operations. Growth  was  driven primarily  by the strong offtake from user industries. Sales growth was  in excesss of 30 per cent both in Indian and export markets. In respect of the Russian  operations,  sales  grew  by  14 per  cent,  with  the  growth  in international  sales  being off set by a marginal decline in sales  to  the Russian markets. The refractory fibre business registered a growth of over 27  per  cent  in revenues. Refractory  design  and  installation  services business registered a steep growth of 64 per cent driven by strong  offtake from project orders in the petrochemical and fertilizer industries.
 
In the Indian markets the uptrend in sales was largely driven by higher off take  from iron and steel, glass, petro-chemical industries, power,  chemical processing,  steel  and  furnace building  industries.  The initiative  to address  turnkey orders paid rich dividends and helped to enhance  revenues from  project  orders  from these customer segments.  Services  of  channel partners  were  engaged  to supplement the sales effort.  The  company  has enhanced  its reach by widening its customer base in the domestic  segment. Competition from imports affected few product categories. During the  year, the   Company  was  empanelled  as  an  approved  supplier  by  a   leading international product licensor of refractories for petrochemical  industry. Market  development  initiatives  were  in the  form  of  participation  in international fairs.
 
Sales of anti-corrosive products were at last year levels. Sales of polymer concrete  cells,  particularly in the export market,  was  encouraging  and helped to off set the lower order inflow on account of project sales
 
Manufacturing
 
The  operating  margins  of the Ceramics business was  maintained  at  last year`s levels despite intense competition particularly in large fixed price project orders, steep increase in prices of fuel and some increase in price of  silicon  carbide.  Raw material costs for  the  high  alumina  ceramics however  remained generally stable. Raw material  consumption  efficiencies were  maintained  at  standard  norms.  With  sales  volumes  and  revenues registering  an  increase,  operating profits were higher as  a  result  of control on fixed costs.
 
The  wear resistant liner plant at Hosur, India operated at  peak  capacity and helped service the demand from domestic and overseas customers.  Robust processes helped the business to deliver consistent products. With flexible manufacturing  processes  the  business was able to  deliver  the  required product  mix. In order to meet increased demand for small tiles a state  of the  art  high speed press was commissioned during the year. With  this  in place, the plant bolstered its capability to meet customer requirements for wear  resistant  tiles of varied geometries. In order  to  further  enhance manufacturing  capabilities, automation of additional processes were  taken up.  This  coupled with six sigma quality initiatives helped the  plant  to deliver  consistent  and  reliable products to customers.  The  plant  also developed the capability to manufacture certain hi-tech products addressing climate control.
 
Addition of capacity balancing equipments and robust processes enabled  the metallized  ceramics  plant  in  Hosur, India  to  deliver  consistent  and reliable  metallized  cylinders  to  suit  the  stringent  requirements  of customers as also meet the escalating demand for volumes.
 
At the engineered ceramics plant at Aurangabad, India, production processes were  modified  and  stabilized  and  additional  machines  were  put  into operation for injection moulding and stabilized.
 
The fired refractories plants in Ranipet, India and the newly set up  plant in Serkadu, India improved capacity utilisation. The Jabalpur, India plant, continued  to  play  a  pivotal role  in  augmenting  sales  of  monolithic refractories. During the year additional investments in equipment were made in this plant to augment capacity to manufacture high alumina  refractories cement production.
 
The   anti-corrosives  manufacturing  facility  at  Serkadu,  India   which commenced operations last year functioned well. Work on establishing a line for  manufacture of FRP composites has commenced and will be  completed  in 2011-12.
 
Cost  pressures  in  the  refractory fibre  business  increased  stress  on profitability which was to a certain extent addressed through cost  savings initiatives and price action at the customer end.
 
In  Russia, the nitride bonded silicon carbide refractories line which  was set  up with overseas technology functioned well. The products were  tested at  labs in Switzerland and was certified as comparable with  in  industry. First set of orders from a large aluminum producer was obtained.

 

 

ELECTRO MINERALS
 
Business Profile
 
The  major  product  groups  of this business  segment  are  fused  alumina (comprising  brown and white alumina), silicon carbide and fused  zirconia. The  operations are carried out through 6 manufacturing facilities  located in  India, Russia and South Africa. Products are sold to customers  located in over 40 countries. Key user industries for this business are  abrasives, refractories  and  steel.  The business also has captive  mines  and  power plant.
 
Industry Overview
 
The  market  structure  in the  global  electrominerals  business  remained largely  unchanged  with the Company continuing to be  the  second  largest player in the silicon carbide segment of this business.
 
In fused alumina, the company is mainly a national player focused on India. The  Indian market continues to be catered by two players. Apart  from  the domestic players, imported products have a visible share in the market.  In fused zirconia, the Company is the third largest manufacturer globally. The global  industry  is largely catered to by top five players. There  was  no major change in the industry structure during the year.
 
Market scenario
 
The  domestic  and  international markets for electro  minerals,  was  very buoyant  both on account of supply constraints and also demand growth.  The business  recorded  a  growth of 25 per cent in revenues  with  the  Indian operations achieving a growth of 34 per cent and the Russian operations  by 24  per  cent over last year. The South African operations grew by  21  per cent. The increase in sales was both on account of volume increase and also escalation in prices.
 
The  silicon  carbide business in Russia benefited from the upturn  in  the local  economy and also revival in the European markets. Exports  increased by  22  per  cent and domestic sales grew by 13  per  cent.  Sales  volumes increased by 13 per cent. Prices for silicon carbide, which was firm in the early  part of the year, stabilized later. Steps were taken to  change  the product mix to increase focus on value added products.
 
In India, slow down in supplies from China helped the business in terms  of improved price realization across the entire product range. Buoyancy in the manufacturing  sector in India drove up demand for abrasives which in  turn resulted  in  brown  fused  alumina  sales  (including  captive   supplies) increasing  by  11 per cent. The upturn in the abrasives industry  and  the continued  escalating  requirements  of the  photovoltaic  industry  helped silicon  carbide  sales to achieve a steep increase of over  50  per  cent. White  fused  alumina sales increased by about 25 per cent  helped  by  the strong  off  take  from refractory  manufacturers.  The  Indian  operations continued its focus on specialty products addressing select industries  and developing  and  adapting  products  to meet the  emerging  needs  of  this industry.  This  helped  the Indian  operations  double  its  international revenues and continue the stellar performance of the past.
 
In  South Africa, sales of fused zirconia and fumed silica witnessed  a  11 per  cent  growth in volumes aided by the recovery in key  user  industries viz. refractories and steel. The appreciation of the South African currency diminished  competitiveness.  In the second half of the year  the  business witnessed a steep increase in input costs. To protect profitability, prices were increased which met with some
 
resistance from key customers. As a result the growth in revenues was lower than  expected. Efforts to widen the customer base have been initiated  and the  benefits  of  this would be seen in  2011-12.Initiatives  have  been undertaken to enter new markets.
 
Manufacturing
 
To  meet the increased demand, volumes were increased at all  locations  by increasing throughputs from existing facilities. Silicon  carbide  business was faced with steep increase in  price  of  raw petroleum coke. The cost push could not be fully passed on to customers and as a result the business witnessed a drop in margins.
 
In the fused zirconia business, though off take increased, appreciation  of the   South  African  currency  increased  the  stress  on   earnings   and profitability.  Steep  escalation  in  sand  prices  hurt  cost  structure. Preliminary steps for capacity expansion has been taken.
 
Investments  have been made during the year in the silicon  carbide  fusion facilities  in Volzhsky, Russia to enhance efficiencies and upgrade fusion technology.
 
The first phase of the silicon carbide microgrit facility at Cochin Special Economic  Zone,  India  commenced  commercial  production  in  April  2010. Subsequent phases are being implemented in a phased manner.
