LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

PERFORMANCE:
 

The year was one of the most challenging in recent times with regard to raw material cost. Natural rubber prices touched an all time high both in the international and domestic markets. Poor crop in key rubber producing countries and strong surge in demand led to an unprecedented increase in the price. Natural Rubber and the entire spectrum of other raw materials showed a rising trend in costs as compared to the previous year with Natural Rubber prices surging up by 67 per cent, synthetic rubber by 44 percent, carbon black by 14 per cent and nylon fabric by 16 per cent. The overall basket of raw materials escalated by 40 per cent and the upward trend continues in the current year as well.

 

With domestic competition intensifying further, despite best efforts, the Company could not pass on the entire cost increase to the customers. Consequently, margins saw significant erosion and the net profit declined from Rs.1610.400 Millions in the previous year to Rs.222.800 Millions during the year.

 

The Company’s revenue saw a growth of 23.5 per cent from Rs.28080.000 Millions in the previous year to Rs.34690.000 Millions during the year. Good growth was visible in all three market segments viz. Replacement, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Exports. The industry also grew at about the same rate resulting in market share of the Company remaining at the same levels.

 

CEAT continues to be one of the largest exporters of tyres. With better thrust and continued focus, the Company was able to increase its exports to Rs.6240.000 Millions as against Rs.4790.000 Millions for the previous year registering a healthy growth of more than 30 per cent. The market mix for exports also improved significantly, leading to higher price realisation.

 

The Company has attained greater strength in supply chain management and logistics. Hence, it is now better placed to outsource and develop a large base of vendors who supply finished products under technical and manufacturing supervision of the Company. As a result, the Company has succeeded in generating 23 per cent of

its revenue through outsourcing. CEAT will continue its endeavor to explore the outsourcing option to improve its market share in key segments.

 
 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The Indian economy has emerged from the global financial crisis remarkably and rapidly, with a robust growth of over 8 per cent. The growth was exhibited across all segments of the economy and the growth of the automotive sector has exceeded expectations. The tyre industry being an ancillary of the automotive sector also experienced increased demand. The tyre industry is a USD 140 billion industry globally and the Indian Tyre Industry commands a share of only 4.5 per cent at USD 6.8 billion. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15 per cent over the next five years.

 

As the Company embarks on a new phase of its journey, it is better poised to accept new challenges and take full advantage of favourable market conditions. The Company expects to grow at a good pace in the next few years and hopes to increase market share in all segments particularly PCR and Motorcycle.

 

A dampener on the good demand conditions, however, is the raw material scenario, particularly that of Natural Rubber, which is expected to continue to exert pressure on margins in the first quarter of 2012. We are hopeful that the raw material prices will stabilize thereafter.

 

 

ASSOCIATED CEAT KELANI VENTURE

 

(Joint Venture in Sri Lanka)

 

The Company has acquired a stake of 45.16 per cent in Associated CEAT Holdings Company Private Limited (ACHL), the Company’s investment arm in Sri Lanka during the year. With this acquisition, ACHL has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. ACHL controls 50 per cent stake in the joint venture company viz. CEAT Kelani Holding Private Limited which in turn has three wholly owned tyre manufacturing companies. ACHL consolidates 50 per cent of the joint venture in its accounts as per Sri Lankan laws.

 

During the year, ACHL has registered a revenue of LKR 3,790.83 million during 2010-11 as compared to LKR 2,702.66 million in the previous year, registering a growth of 51.90 per cent. Profit after tax stood at LKR 277.89 million as compared to profit after tax of LKR 261.48 million. The Company has dominant market share in all categories of tyres.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 

The Indian economy has once again emerged as one of the most successful performers globally with the GDP growth of 8.6 per cent. The growth has been broad with a rebound in the agricultural (5.4 per cent), industrial (8.6 per cent), and manufacturing sectors (9.1 per cent). Although there have been few threats and crises in the Indian economy due to the high rates of inflation and increase in expenses of essential commodities like food and oil, the Indian policy makers are routing a way to ensure sustainable long term growth.

 

The pace of economic activity in the country is directly reflected in the tyre off take by different automobile segments. The prospects of the Indian economy have thus augured well for the Indian tyre industry.

 
 
TYRE INDUSTRY REVIEW
 

GLOBAL SCENARIO

 

As of April 2011, the Global Tyre market is worth approx USD 140 billion, with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) segment and replacement segment constituting 30 per cent and 60 per cent respectively of the overall tyre markets. Owing to excellent road infrastructure, the extent of radialisation is much higher in the developed nations. The average radialisation levels in the medium to heavy commercial vehicles is around 60 per cent, whereas in geographies like North America and Europe it is as high as 95 per cent.

 

 

INDIAN SCENARIO

 

The chronicle of Indian tyre industry started in 1926. Since then, the industry has grown rapidly, harmonising with the growth of automobile industry. A highly capital and raw material intensive and predominantly cross ply (or bias) tyre manufacturing industry, produces all categories of tyres, except snow tyres and aero tyres. The industry is dominated by the organised sector while the unorganised sector holds control over bicycle tyres. After the abysmal performance post slowdown in FY 2009, the industry has witnessed considerable rebound in FY 2010, driven by the economic revival, resurgence in automobile demand, rising per capita income and ease of interest rates.

 

 

While more and more people opt for two-wheelers, value-wise; the sector is strongly dominated by the Medium to Heavy Commercial Vehicle (MHCV) and Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment, a reflection directly linked to the country’s economic development. With greater access to, and introduction of, affordable Passenger Vehicles (PV), Cars and Utility Vehicles (UV) follow a close second. The two-wheeler, three-wheeler, exports and other segments such as Off The Road (OT R), tractors, construction equipment, etc. collectively constitute the remaining pie.

 
 
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
 

Subject is geared to meet customer needs in every segment. It offers a wide array of tyres, which include heavy duty Trucks and Buses (T&B), Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs), Passenger Cars (PC), earthmovers and forklifts (Specialty segment), tractors, trailers, scooters, motorcycles, auto-rickshaws and 2/3 wheelers. The Company markets flaps and tubes outsourced from partners, thereby becoming a one-stop shop to cater to its wide consumer base.

 

Truck and Bus tyres are the highest contributor to the annual turnover of the Company (61 per cent). In terms of market segments, replacement market contributes around 75 per cent in the topline.

 

 

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

 

To enrich customer experience, the Company continuously expands its range of products and services.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
 

Net sales increased 23 per cent from Rs.28074.760 Millions in 2009-10 to Rs.34689.225 Millions in 2010-11. The growth is attributed to expanded product portfolio, increased sales volume, superior customer service and improved capacity utilisation.

 

Secured loan almost doubled from Rs.3120.511 Millions in 2009-10 to Rs.6241.346 Millions in 2010-11, mainly utilised for Capacity expansion at Halol and acquisition of “CEAT” brand from Pirelli and C. S.p.A, Italy.

 

Operating expense increased by 39 per cent because of the 54 per cent hike in cost of raw materials, which impacted the PAT. PAT decreased from Rs.1610.415 Millions in 2009-10 to Rs.222.833 Millions in 2010-11.
