MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Fiscal Year 2010-11 saw the company deliver an exceptional performance driven by strong growth in its offerings across the education value chain. The Smart Class business entered a new growth trajectory; quadrupling the number of school and classroom additions in the year. Being front-runners of innovation, the company continued to pioneer with new products and services in the Smart Class business further raising the barriers to entry for their competition. In line with the vision to provide ‘quality’ and ‘access to’ education, the company has increased both depth and range of presence across the Education Ecosystem - from pre-school, to K-12, to higher and vocational education and online and supplemental education specifically in the field of online and supplemental education.

 

The year saw the company achieve huge growth in the Smart Class Business with number of schools increasing from 3,077 to 6,538 with the addition of 3,461 schools. This strong growth was primarily driven by change of the business model from BOOT to Securitization led Sale. Smart Class is currently present in 600 districts and the company continues to increase its penetration in the tier-2 and tier 3 cities with the company having a presence within 5 kms from every school. The company, being the largest education company in the country, retained its leadership position on the back of flawless execution by their teams. During the year, Educomp retained its position as the No.1 player in the Educational Multimedia Content business, reaching out to 4.3 million students; No.1 player in the PPP model-based Edureach business, reaching out to 5.8 million students.

 

The year also saw the company continue its transition towards becoming a core education infrastructure company, involved in running pre-schools, providing services to high schools, colleges and vocational education centers. This is an important step in their evolution given the scenario of shortages in learning centers capacity in India across verticals which may continue for several decades. Educomp is building a uniquely differentiated and extremely high value infrastructure that offers perpetual annuity. In the K-12 segment the company provides educational infrastructure to various non profit schools. Currently 56 operational schools are using varied services

such as Content/IP services, Educational Infrastructure Services and Other Allied Services. The K-12 segment has also witnessed change in the business model from Capital Intensive to Joint Venture which is a capital light model.

 

With strong footholds in K-12 and higher education space, the year saw the company begin pushing rapid growth outside this space in all its business segments specifically vocational and supplemental segments. In order to consolidate its positioning in Supplemental space, a niche segment with huge addressable market space of $7 billion, Educomp has re–structured all its online initiatives including WiZiQ, Learnhub, Mathguru , VMC (Vidya Mandir Classes), Gateforum, EOL (Educomp Online), EduIgnite, Learning Hour and Studyplaces under one umbrella. With over 339 points of presence in the vocational training space and e-learning footprint of over 2.9 million global users, Educomp is one of the largest vocational and supplemental education players in the country.

 

Segment –Wise Performance:

 

During the year, the company witnessed continuous growth across the entire education value chain. The total consolidated income of the company increased by 30% YoY and net profit after taxes increased by 22% YoY driven on the back of strong growth across all segments including School Learning Solutions (up by 25%), K-12 schools (up by 36%), Higher Learning Solutions (147%) and Online, Supplemental and Global (up by 32%). The company continued its concerted efforts to increase the penetration levels and broad-base the growth trajectory of its flagship project – Smart Class, which saw its reach increase to 6,538 schools in FY11 from +3,000 schools in FY10. Significant investments in sales and marketing including addition of 160 sales personnel taking total sales force to 380 people and a successful media advertising campaign helped the company create unprecedented awareness and penetrate deeper in private school markets of tier I, tier II, tier III cities and towns across the country.

 

Also in a recent circular CBSE has advised all affiliated schools to setup at least 1 ICT enabled classroom for each grade from 1 through 12. Further, schools are encouraged to progressively increase the number of classrooms with digital content usage and move towards enabling every single classroom with such learning infrastructure. They believe that while CBSE has taken the lead to push digital content usage in schools, there is a strong likelihood that all other state (provincial) education boards will follow soon. This validates their thesis that Smart Class is poised to rapidly grow and eventually each classroom in India is target market opportunity for Smart Class.

 

In line with the company’s focus on continuous innovation, the company developed and unleashed Smart Class 3-D, a unique three dimensional digital content for schools, developed using the 3D stereoscopic technology. This is the first time in the history of Smart Class and probably in the history of classroom teaching across the world that the students would engage in learning using 3D glasses. Further, the company launched the next generation Smart Class in schools called Smart Class “Class Transformation System” (CTS) and fully integrated Smart Class “Digital Teaching System” (DTS). Smart Class “Class Transformation System” (CTS) is the next generation Smart Class consisting of features like hundreds of thousands of multiple choice questions, real life applications, topic synopsis, simulations, diagram makers and step-bystep illustrations apart from teaching ideas and strategies. Smart Class “Digital Teaching System” (DTS) is the world’s first fully integrated one switch digital interactive teaching system designed with real classroom challenges and Indian classroom conditions in mind. Its unique features consist of an integrated compact design where all the different hardware components have been seamlessly moulded into a single compact unit to enhance efficiency, convenience and durability along with reduction in the installation time.

 

Another fast growing and important growth engine for the company’s business is the K-12 segment comprising pre-school business through “Roots-to-Wings” and “EuroKids” and core and strategic high school business structured under the subsidiary Educomp Infrastructure and School Management. The company provides Educational Infrastructure Services, Content/IP services and Other Allied Services to various non profit organisations which run schools under multiple brands including Millennium schools, Takshila schools, Universal Academy, co-branded schools including Shriram schools, PSBB schools, and recently added Vasant Valley school facilitated by Universal Learn Today, an India Today group company. With the rapid opening up of the higher education space, the company is now gearing up to become a mainstream higher education player with the presence across all disciplines like engineering, management, design and commerce. A major stride in this space was taken with the company receiving the AICTE approval to launch Engineering and PGDM programs starting from the current academic year in its Greater Noida campus under the brand of JRE Group of Institutions.

 

The company’s higher learning solutions segment comprises two exciting joint ventures with world leading organizations - Raffles and Pearson in the areas of higher education and vocational education, respectively. In joint venture with Raffles Education Corporation, the company has 7 premium Raffles Millenium colleges operational in cities of Delhi, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Chennai.

 

Moving onto the vocational part of the business, IndiaCan, the joint venture with Pearson Plc, has been one of the phenomenal growth stories within Educomp. Within a year and a half of operations, IndiaCan has expanded its reach to over 339 points of presence operational across the country covering 63,000 students. The JV includes unique programs like ETEN CA (VSAT technology based CA coaching program), PurpleLeap (programs for engineering and MBA students to make them workplace ready), and retail vocational centres (courses in English language training, sales, retail, IT and media).

 

To consolidate its position in rapidly growing supplemental education space, the company took several inorganic growth initiatives including acquisition of Vidya Mandir Classes Private Limited and Gateforum Educational Services Private Limited in test-prep space and joint venture with Zeebo India in wireless education space. The company acquired a strategic stake in Vidya Mandir Classes Private Limited and increased its presence from 3 to 6 centres catering to over 2,200 students during the year. The year saw the company take another leap forward with acquisition of majority stake in Gateforum, leading GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) prep company present in more than 40 cities across India through a mix of own and franchisee centres. Pioneering in the field of wireless education platform, the company entered into a JV with Zeebo Inc. to form Zeebo India for introducing 3-G connected education and entertainment system for Indian markets.

 

The company also has a unique portfolio of online products including Educomp Online, MathGuru, Wiziq, Learnhub, Eduignite, Studyplaces, Learning.com and AsknLearn catering to domestic as well as international markets and which will lead to significant growth of its supplemental business. Overall, during the year, the company consistently moved forward in building uniquely differentiated and extremely high value education infrastructure in a scenario where shortages are expected to continue for several decades. You would be happy to know that various business segments the company operates in provide huge opportunities for growth. While Smart Class is in an Exponential growth phase and the other segments namely K-12, Higher education, Vocational Education and Supplemental Education are in Investment/Take Off phase and would provide strong opportunities to expand and grow.

 

Industry Overview

 

Indian Education - One of the Largest Education Markets in the World

 

Indian Education Sector is one of the largest education markets (in terms of the potential number of students) in the world. The potential education market of India comprises of 464 million people (in the age group of 5-24 years in 2006), approximately 42% of the total population. India’s $60bn education market is a large and underpenetrated industry with significant upside for future growth. While India spends close to 4.1% of its GDP on education, literacy rates remain low at 62-63% of the adult population, compared to 90-95% in other emerging markets such as China and Brazil.

 

Underpenetrated and Inefficient Market driving shift towards Private Institutions

 

Indian Education is characterized by low enrolment rates and inefficient public spend. In the school going bracket, only 212 million of the eligible 360 million are in school. The gap is due to a combination of reasons including children not enrolled in schools, high dropout ratios at different levels and the demand supply gap. The poor quality of education in public institutes is driving the demand towards private education institutes. The number of private K-12 schools grew at doubledigit growth rates over the last decade. Also, the average enrolments per private schools stood at 288 as against 132 in public schools in 2009–10.

 

Favourable Demographics to drive growth

 

India is projected to have the world’s largest population under 20 years - 468 million in 2015 which is 40% higher than China’s population under 20 years at 318 million. Also, India is expected to grow at 8.5%-9.5% over 2011-12 and accelerate to a sustainable 9-10% by 2013-15 with improvement in demographics being the key growth factor. However favourable demographics need to be converted into a virtuous cycle of acceleration in growth and Education is one of the critical inputs to securing this demographic dividend.

 

Higher Education

 

The Indian higher education sector is one of the largest in the world with a total of 26,455 institutes. Government’s focus on higher education is of vital importance to India in reaping the demographic dividend and is reflected in 900% increase in the outlay on higher education in XIth Five Year Plan. The plan aims at aggressive expansion with the establishment of 30 new universities, 8 new IITs, 7 new IIMs, 20 new IIITs, 5 new Indian Institutes of Science, 2 Schools of Planning and Architecture, 10 NITs, 373 new degree colleges and 1000 new polytechnics. Driven by increasing government focus and rising private spend, higher education sector has witnessed high growth in enrolments at a CAGR of 10% to reach 16 million over FY06-10. However, not only is India’s gross enrolment ratio (GER) low at 12.4% but also growth in GER at 3% CAGR lags the growth registered by Brazil (13%) and China (19%). Government’s target to achieve 30% GER by 2020 would translate to an enrolment of 40 million representing an incremental increase of 24 million from the current enrolment and would require an additional ~33,000 institutions. Spends in the Indian Higher Education Sector are estimated to be `462 billion in 2010 with private sector accounting for almost 67% of the spends. Higher Education Spends are expected to grow at a CAGR of 18% till 2020 and provides a strong opportunity for growth.

 

Vocational Training

 

The private vocational education market is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of 25% from $1.5 billion in 2008 to $3.7 billion in 2012 on the back of India’s unique demography, providing it an advantageous position to be the source for bulk of skilled and semi-skilled workforce to the world in near future. The Indian government is also increasing its focus on vocational education and has set a target to train 500 million people by 2022. Private and foreign participation is being actively encouraged by the government both through private entities and PPPs. National Skill Development Council has been set up in partnership with the private sector and the Government has announced fiscal incentives including financial assistance, for private participation in running ITIs, with a target to add 1,000 new polytechnics in Govt/ PPP and the private sector by 2012. It has sanctioned 26 projects with a total funding of `6.58 billion in FY’11. These projects alone are expected to create a skilled workforce of 40 million people over the next 10 years. In the current year, skill training has so far been provided to 20,000 persons. Of these, 75% have found placements. India has only 5,100 ITIs and 1,745 polytechnics as compared to China, which has 500,000 VET institutes. There is strong growth potential as VET is at a nascent stage in India. Only 171 trades and skills programmes are available, as compared to the US where students can choose from 1,500 VET programmes.

 

Global Scenario

Company Outlook and Strategy for 2010–11

 

The company expects robust growth across all its business segments on the back of organic and inorganic initiatives in the domestic as well global market. In the current fiscal year, the Company will further strengthen its position as the only company catering to the full “Education Value Chain” through further IP consolidation, innovation and investment in R and D and focus on its current breadth of products and services with major emphasis on SmartClass business, K-12 business, and Higher Education and Supplemental businesses. They believe change in its business model from BOOT to the “Securitization led Sale” basis, consistent culture of product innovation and investments in sales force would drive rapid growth in the Smart Class segment.

 

To augment its future growth, the Company has following strategies:

 

Increase the penetration of their Smart Class™ program - They seek to increase the penetration of their Smart Class™ program in what is still a large, underpenetrated market in India. They intend to focus on two areas:

 

• They intend to deepen their marketing efforts by increasing their existing sales force.. By increasing their sales force and broadening their penetration, they aim to be in the best possible position to exploit these new opportunities to further expand their Smart Class™ business; and

 

• They intend to introduce new products and consolidate and enhance their product offering by continual investments to develop new content and technological delivery platforms. For example, they recently launched their digital teaching system and class transformation system, and are also in the process of developing their content for provision in five regional languages.

 

Further investment in their higher learning solutions business - They intend to capitalize on the shortage of skill based higher education institutes in India by providing quality education through highly skilled faculty

 

Further investment in their online, supplementary and global solutions businesses - They have developed their online, supplementary and global solutions product

 

Portfolio to offer their content and solutions through new channels. They believe these markets provide a compelling growth opportunity due to growing penetration of internet/broadband in India, and the strong demand for high quality education technology solutions in developed and developing markets around the world. They also seek to develop products for the commercial market based on their institutional products, such as their EducompOnline.com product which offers complimentary content to the Smart Class™ modules to home users.

 

To efficiently allocate capital and resources amongst their various businesses and potential opportunities - They allocate capital to their most profitable and scalable businesses that generate strong returns. Further, when they introduce new products and services to the market, they invest heavily in product development, marketing, and customer financing in order to penetrate the market. As their businesses become established, they seek outside partners to provide financing to their customers so that they can accelerate their growth while freeing up their capital to fund other growth initiatives. One example of this is their shift from the build-ownoperate- transfer model to a securitization-led sale model in their Smart Class™ business, whereby third party financing sources provide capital to their customers to purchase their products. They will continue to allocate capital and resources to areas of their business which are either presently profitable or highly scalable so as to maximize future profitability.

 

Focus on developing and expanding existing businesses organically - The focus of their overall growth strategy is to up-sell and cross-sell their products and services across their various business segments in order to retain customers throughout the education lifecycle. Their aim is to decrease the necessity to market their various products and services on their own and leverage on the synergies of their broad service offerings. Since they service the entire education value-chain, they are able to provide services to students throughout their entire education lifecycle, starting at the pre-school level, through grade 12 and higher education and, where needed, through their vocational and supplementary education. To pursue strategic inorganic growth opportunities - They will continue to pursue selective strategic acquisitions, minority investments and joint venture opportunities to augment their capabilities, broaden their service offerings, enhance their cross-selling opportunities and increase their geographical presence. In relation to strategic acquisitions in particular, their strategy is to endeavor to retain the promoters of companies where they acquire an equity stake, with an expectation of these promoters continuing to promote these companies so as to prevent any drain on the resources of their own management team.

 

ICT (now Edureach)

 

Edureach business covers ICT Government and computer-aided learning projects and the provision of technology enabled 3D multimedia content to Government schools for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Under Edureach, the company partners with various state governments on the BOOT model to set up and maintain IT Infrastructure. It incurs an upfront expenditure and receives quarterly payments from the government for services rendered. The company has built a unique core competence in handling logistics to manage projects that are distributed across large and diverse geographies and also provides content to Government schools currently available in 10 regional languages. The scope of Edureach contract covers supply of IT infrastructure, multimedia curriculum content, supply of consumables, provision of full-time faculty or training of existing faculty, amongst others. However, the deliverables are dependent upon the tender specifications. In this model, capital expenditure for setting up IT Infrastructure is borne upfront by the company, while the Government normally chooses the option on BOOT (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) basis. ICT program currently reaches 10,572 schools and 5.8 million students and the company continues to retain its number 1 ranking in this segment in India. During FY11, the company added 540 government schools under the ICT program in Maharashtra at a contract value of `679.3 million. It further bagged two multimedia content development projects from the Government of Gujarat and Assam covering 3,500 schools and 2,199 schools respectively for a total contract value of `68.1 million for installation and development of 2D, 3D-based multimedia content across schools of these two states and development of a web portal for learning management. They are glad to share that the company recently won the “Excellence Award” by the Institute of Economic Studies (IES) for its outstanding contribution towards developing the education sector in India through excellence in productivity, quality, innovation and management of holistic range of educational products and services. IES also awarded Soumya Kanti, President of Edureach with the “Udyog Rattan Award”. The company has strategically defocused its capital allocation to the ICT business due to lower margins and longer receivable cycle in the segment. The company would continue to enter into selective contracts only which offer good margins.
