INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

 

Revenue from Operations and Other Income during the financial year ended 31st March 2012 was at Rs. 8616.800 millions as against Rs. 7440.000 millions last year, representing an increase of approximately 15% over the corresponding period of the previous year. Profit after Tax for the year under review amounted to Rs. 676.900 millions representing an increase of approximately 9% over the previous year. Despite continuous pressure of rising input costs in the previous year, the Company was able to pass on most of the cost increases to its customers due to the strength of their brands. Sales value and volume growth was in line with industry growth.

 

As on 31st March, 2012, the Reserves and Surplus of the Company stood at Rs. 2143.200 millions.

 

The outlook for the current year is challenging across traditional trade and modern retail sales channels due to decline in Indian macro-economic conditions and a poor marriage season. However, the Company expects to grow despite the adverse environment due to its strong brands, products and advertising campaigns.

 

EXPORTS AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

 

Exports for the year ended 31st March 2012 were at Rs. 828.700 millions as against Rs. 730.700 millions in the previous year, an increase of approximately 13% over the previous year. Global economic condition continued to remain weak especially in Europe; however the Company consolidated its market share in the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The Company is expecting that with the introduction of its new ranges, it will be able to further strengthen the market share in the coming years.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

LUGGAGE

 

DOMESTIC MARKETS

 

Overall the luggage industry in India witnessed positive but slowing growth in demand across price points and product categories and also faced severe cost pressures in the year.

 

Demand was positive in the first half of the year under review, aided by a good marriage season. However, during the second half, high inflation, high interest rates, high fuel costs and high air fares impacted leisure travel and reduced disposable income, reducing the rate of demand growth and leading to a relatively weak festive season. Increased air fares reduced the growth of air passenger traffic to single digit from 15% - 20% increase in last two years. Airline traffic directly impacts the growth of luggage category especially the branded segment, where the Company has significant share.

 

On the supply side, the Company witnessed stability in supplies from its domestic and imported sources, however faced tremendous pressure on input costs. The rapidly depreciating rupee significantly affected the Company’s margins as majority of its soft luggage is imported from China. Chinese goods have also become more expensive in dollar terms due to the Chinese government’s focus on domestic consumption instead of exports due to which labor costs in China have increased steadily. Increase in cost of raw materials like plastic, aluminum etc. and increase in freight costs have further impacted the cost of goods.

 

The luggage category is estimated to be of approx. Rs. 40000.000 millions in size and is growing at around 10-15% per annum. Hypermarket channel has shown robust organic growth during the year, growing far rapidly than other distribution channels. The category has witnessed entry of some niche international players mainly at the premium end. The short haul sub-categories like backpacks, business satchels and trolley duffels have grown faster than rest of the category. In the travel segment overall, Soft Luggage continues to grow faster than Hard Luggage. However, polycarbonate luggage, i.e. a subset of hard luggage which is a lightweight strong plastic material has shown encouraging growth, mainly due to strategic initiatives taken by the Company in terms of new product launches and advertising campaigns.

 

 

INTERNATIONAL MARKETS

 

The International Business of the Company registered a growth in all regions led by the Asia Pacific and Middle East and African region which grew by 37% and 21% respectively. Despite recession and unfavorable market conditions in Europe, the Company managed to retain its market share there. Taking cue from changing travelling requirements across the globe, the Carlton brand launched a series of very lightweight luggage in its “Nanolite” category which have been very well received by the consumers across geographies. The Carlton brand also added two new ranges of very lightweight yet extremely strong Polycarbonate luggage in its portfolio. Going ahead, the Company plans to consolidate its position in various global markets apart from addressing new business opportunities through private label manufacturing, especially in the fast growing Polycarbonate segment.

 

MOULDED FURNITURE

 

The Moderna Furniture business grew by 20% in value and over 12% in volume terms. The brand “Moderna” is perceived to be a product having superior quality, premium image and aesthetics in the minds of consumers. The Company’s products continue to enjoy a preferred position in consumer segment particularly in the Northern, Western and Southern India where it has a major share in the Institutions and hire markets.

OUTLOOK

 

LUGGAGE

 

Considering the threats, opportunities and the strengths of the Company, the key task at hand will be to make most of the category growth across all price segments and maintain margins to the best possible degree without affecting volume growth. The Company is successfully executing its multi brand – multi segment strategy with consistent investment in advertising for all its luggage brands.

 

MOULDED FURNITURE

 

The Company is confident that it will be able to grow the business at the same pace by improving its presence in the retail domain through fresh initiatives, including the introduction of new products of different design and colors and strategic placement of products with the channels to service customers. Increased focus on the sales of premium range of products will deliver higher growth in value terms.
