INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFITS

 

FY 2012-13 was a challenging year for the economy – both globally and in India. The world economy grew by a mere 3.1% in 2012 as compared to 3.9% in the previous year. The domestic situation in India was influenced by these global trends and the ripple effect of a global slowdown was felt. After years of strong positive growth, the Indian economy slowed down to a GDP of 5% from 6.5% in the previous year.

 

The Tata Motors Group recorded a 13.4% growth in gross turnover from Rs.1706780.000 Millions in the previous year to Rs.1935840.000 Millions in FY 2012-13. This is the highest turnover recorded by the Group. The consolidated revenues (net of excise) for FY 2012-13 of Rs.1888180.000 Millions grew by 14% over last year on the back of strong growth in volumes across products and markets at Jaguar Land Rover. The consolidated EBITDA margins for FY 2012-13 stood at 14.1%. Consequently, Profit Before Tax and Profit After Tax were Rs.136330.000 Millions and Rs.98930.000 Millions respectively.

 

Subject recorded a gross turnover of Rs.493200.000 Millions, 16.7% lower from Rs.592210.000 Millions in the previous year. Weak macro economic factors leading to a continued slow-down in the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M and HCV), stiff competition, mainly in Passenger Vehicles business, severely affected the standalone operations and profitability. Additionally, the need to increase marketing expenses to protect and grow market share has resulted in EBITDA margins reducing from 8.1% to 4.8% for FY 2012-13. The reduction of profits from operations was offset by dividend from subsidiary companies of Rs.15840.000 Millions (including dividend from JLR) as compared to Rs.1140.000 Millions for the previous year. The Profit Before Tax and Profit After Tax for the FY 2012- 13 were lower at Rs.1750.000 Millions and Rs.3020.000 Millions, respectvely, as compared to Rs.13410.000 Millions and Rs.12420.000 Millions in the previous year, respectively.

 

Jaguar Land Rover recorded a turnover of GB£ 157840.000 Millions, a growth of 17% from GB£ 13,512 million in the previous year. Volume growth was driven not only by a full year of the Range Rover Evoque, but also by increasing sales of existing models. EBITDA growth also benefitted from a favourable market mix, operating exchange rates due to the strengthening US$ against the GB£ and the Euro. Further, cost efficiency improvements in material costs and manufacturing costs supported by increased production volume levels also attributed to improved results of operations. These resulted in a higher EBITDA and Profit Before Tax of GB£ 2,402 million and GB£ 1,675 million, respectively, as compared to GB£ 2,027 million and GB£ 1,507 million, respectively in the previous year. The effective tax rate was higher than the previous year, since last year it benefitted from recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses in the last year. The Profit After Tax for FY 2012-13 stood at GB£ 1,215 million as compared to GB£ 1,481 million last year (Jaguar Land Rovers’ figures as per IFRS).

 

Tata Motors Finance Limited, the Company’s captive financing subsidiary, registered total revenue of Rs.28900.000 Millions higher by 43% in the previous year and reported a Profit After Tax of Rs.3090.000 Millions in FY 2012-13 (previous year: Rs.2400.000 Millions). Tata Motors Finance Limited proposed a dividend of 7% per equity share for FY 2012-13.

 

Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle Company Limited, South Korea registered revenues of KRW 823.9 billion (Rs.40170.000 Millions), a growth of 8% over the previous year. However, the positive impact of higher volumes and various cost control initiatives were negated by a provision of KRW 18.9 billion (Rs.920.000 Millions) on account of a Court verdict in an ordinary wage suit filed by its Union employees resulting in a loss of KRW 9.2 billion (Rs.450.000 Millions) (previous year: profit of Rs.87.400 Millions).

 

 

VEHICLE SALES AND MARKET SHARES

 

The Tata Motors Group sales for the year stood at 11,91,968 vehicles, lower by 6% as compared to the previous year. Global sales of all Commercial Vehicles were 593,897 vehicles, while sales of Passenger Vehicles were at 598,071 vehicles.

 

TATA MOTORS

 

The Company recorded sales of 765,557 vehicles, a decline of 11% over last year. Industry growth during the year was also muted at 1.1%, resulting in the Company’s market share decreasing to 22% in the Indian automotive industry from 25.1% in the previous year. The Company exported 50,938 vehicles during the year, lower by 19%, as compared to the previous year.

 

Commercial Vehicles

Within the domestic market, the Company continued to strengthen its presence in Commercial Vehicles, with sales of 5,36,232 vehicles, an all time high for the Company, growing 1.1% from the previous year. This represented a market leadership share of 59.5% in the domestic CV market which was mainly supported by steep growth in the LCV segment.

 

Some of the highlights for the year were:

 

·         Sales in the LCV segment continued to drive performance, growing by a 21.8% during the year to 3,93,468 vehicles. Market share in the LCV segment expanded by 200 basis points registering a 62.2% market share in FY 2012-13. The Company has grown and consolidated its position in the LCV segment, leading to expansion of the market share, especially in the Ace Segment. Sales of the Tata ACE reached highest ever at over 3,25,000 during FY 201 2-13. The Tata Ace family crossed 10,00,000 sales since its launch. During this year, the Company launched 'Tata Xenon', a stylish and rugged pick-up, offering both single cab and dual cab versions, with best in class looks, operating economies and fuel efficiency.

 

·         Slowdown in economic activity, sluggish infrastructure spending and weak macro outlook coupled with higher operating costs for transport operators, adversely impacted demand in the M and HCV industry. The MandHCV segment which is the harbinger for growth in the economy de-grew by 23.3% in the year. The Company's sales in the MandHCVs segment were 1,42,764 vehicles. The depressed market scenario combined with new player entry resulted in very high competitive intensity. Several new products and variants across the traditional, Prima and Construck range focusing on 'best in class' performance, reliability and fuel efficiency, were introduced.

 

·         The year also marked the roll-out of the two millionth truck from the Company's manufacturing facility at Jamshedpur. The plant manufactures the Company's entire range of MandHCV trucks, including the Tata Prima, both for civilian and defence applications. Many first of its class heavy trucks designed and built specifically to offer best in class performance, reliability and fuel efficiency were introduced viz - Tata LPT 3723 - the first 5 axle rigid truck in the country in the 10 x 4 configuration, the Tata Prima 3138.K Tipper, the Tata Prima 4938.S tractor and the Tata Prima 230 HP - LX range consisting of Tata Prima LX 4923.S, Tata Prima LX4023.S and Tata LPK 3118 tipper. Launches of buses such as MCV buses for intercity (AC - 45 Seater) and staff transportation (Non AC - 41 Seater), LP/ LPO Starbus Ultra with best in class features and fuel efficiency tailored to suit Indian conditions with highest capacity school bus in ICV platform in India (56 seats).

 

In January 2013, Tata Motors became the first company in India to introduce warranty period of four years on heavy trucks. The Company also introduced a Telematics and Fleet Management Service, branded "Tata FleetMan'' an intelligent vehicle and driver management solution.

 

Passenger Vehicles

 

The domestic passenger car industry was affected mainly by weak sentiments, high cost of ownership, high interest rates, fuel prices and reduction in discretionary spends. Overall growth in Domestic Passenger vehicle industry was flat in FY 2012-13, within which Utility Vehicles recorded a robust growth of 51.5% on the back of new launches catering not only to the traditional rugged SUV customers but also to the customer preferring the more car-like soft roader utility vehicles and cars segment de-grew by 6.9%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

The Indian economy continued its downward slide throughout FY 2012-13, recording a lower GDP growth of 5% compared to 6.5% for FY 2011-12. The downward trend was also pronounced on a quarterly basis

 

After achieving growth rates of 8.6% in FY 2009-10 and 9.3% in FY 2010-11, the inflationary pressures started mounting. The RBI started tightening the monetary policy, resulting in lower growth rate in the last two years. The moderation in growth is primarily attributable to weakness in industry. The growth in agriculture has also been weak in FY 2012-13, following lower than normal rainfall. All the three major segments, agriculture and allied, industry and services, have displayed softening trend, quarter over quarter during the last two years.

 

As the pace of growth started slowing, the Government revenues started shrinking, exposing the economy to a higher fiscal deficit. The current account deficit also widened. Beginning FY 2011-12, the corporate and infrastructure investment started slowing mainly due to investment bottlenecks and tight monetary policy. FY 2012-13 was marked by the challenge to the Government to contain the fiscal deficit, and the Government expenditure on infrastructure and other key sectors suffered.

 

While there were monetary policy changes and limited Repo Rate revisions downwards in an effort to stimulate growth, (100 bps drop from the rate of April 2012), the RBI policy hinted limited headroom for further reduction in the light of the inflationary pressures, which dampened the prospects.

 

As a result, as compared to prior years, the domestic auto industry has recorded insignificant growth on an overall basis. With the continued high interest rates and inflation, households were forced to spend more on essentials and discretionary spend reduced, leading to deferring of purchase decisions. The consistent stagnation of the industrial growth mainly in the areas of mining and quarrying, manufacturing and infrastructure, adversely-impacted the domestic auto industry. In March (2013), a month which traditionally sees large volumes, car sales declined by 22.5%, despite heavy discounts being offered.

 

On the global economy front, both US and Europe were struggling with a stall in fundamental sectoral growth. The European economy continued to move sluggishly mainly due to the sovereign debt crisis. The pace of economic expansion in emerging countries has slowed down. On the other hand, there was an eruption of political crises in the Middle East and Africa, which continues even till today. Unrelated political unrest also emerged in North Korea. The net impact of all these global events was that growth took a backseat as controlling unemployment, monitoring government expenditures and maintaining political stability, became priorities for regional governments. The world economy grew by 3.2% in 2012.

 

In terms of outlook for the year 2013, the advanced economies are likely to grow by 1.2% as compared to 1.1 % in the year 2012. Slowdown is expected for developing and emerging economies, with growth falling in China from 7.8% to 7.5% in 2012.

 

The automobile industry has shown progress in a steady manner, especially in the US and emerging countries such as Asia. The demand for products with advanced green technology has remained strong throughout all the markets worldwide. However, the automotive industry continues to face a very competitive pricing environment, driven in part by industry excess capacity, particularly in mature markets such as North America and Europe. The Chinese economy has continued to grow strongly throughout 2012. GDP growth is likely to slow in future, although remain above 7.5%.

 

Tata Motors Business:

Consequent to the macro economic factors as explained above, the Indian automobile industry posted growth of 1.1% in FY 2012-13, as compared to 7.2% in the last fiscal. The commercial vehicles, grew by 1.7% (last year 19.2%) and passenger vehicles by 0.9% (last year 3.6%).

 

OUTLOOK

 

While the start of the new fiscal has continued from the moderate performance of last year, there is a cautious optimism that FY 2013­14 would see the start of the revival in the global and domestic economies. The Indian economy is also expected to look up marginally from growth in GDP of 5% in the last year.

 

Within the market however, there are certain segments which would react quicker to a revival in sentiment than others. The MandHCV segment would recover later than others and is expected to see an upswing only after a few more conscious monetary and fiscal policy moves from the Government and RBI, as well as growth in infrastructure projects spending.

 

While current account deficit and fiscal deficit will continue to be priorities for the Government, striking a balance between controlling expenditure and encouraging growth will be key for this year.

 

On the background of pressure on volumes in India and limited headroom in pricing due to the intensely competitive market dynamics, the focus will be on effective cost management- both direct and indirect to maintain margins. Even in this challenging environment, as envisioned in its Mission statement, the Company is looking to 'passionately anticipate' and provide vehicles and solutions that 'excite customers globally. The objective remains to be the 'most admired' Company by all our stakeholders.

 

One of the key elements of this strategy would be to improve the relationship with the customer - the experience the customer has with the Company at each touch point from sale to service and replacement sales experiences. This would include improving the physical look of the setup, setting up right processes and forums for speedy resolution of customer issues.

 

The Company will also actively pursue growth in the right International markets and look to consolidate its position in markets where it is already present.

 

While Europe remains uncertain in the short term, JLR will continue to focus on growth from other markets, in particular the emerging markets. With entry been established in China last year, growing and consolidating presence in this market would be key to JLR's strategy for the coming year. Investment in new products and technologies along with enhancing capacity as required in the right geographies would continue for both Jaguar and Land Rover.
