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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The economic backdrop continued to be an important factor impacting the performance of Companies across sectors including organized retail. Consumer sentiment and business confidence were subdued in the financial year with economic growth decelerating further. This is attributable mainly to weakening industrial growth in the context of tight monetary policy followed by the Reserve Bank of India through most of the financial year, political and policy stability related concerns and continued uncertainty in the global economy. Inflation continues to be an important concern area. Persistent high inflation and inflation expectations has meant that the Reserve Bank of India has been compelled to maintain the bench mark interest rates at a much higher level than was seen warranted or expected earlier.

 

As observed in prior years, the organized retail space in the first decade of this century was viewed as offering enormous potential for growth in India. However, post FY08 the industry witnessed a sharp moderation in expectations with most retailers across formats facing significant head winds in terms of like-for-like growth, and challenge to viability of stores at rentals contracted during FY07 and FY08. While the same store sales growth was impacted during this period, nevertheless the slowdown was positive, especially from a real estate and talent availability perspectives. Following the pronounced slowdown, the industry witnessed a modest recovery in FY09-10, especially in the second half. This recovery gathered further momentum in the first three quarters of FY10-11 and yielded strong double-digit like-for-like growth across most credible retail formats. The recovery also meant that key business Groups with interest in the organized retailing revived their expansion plans shelved during the prior economic slowdown.

 

Consumer sentiment thereafter was impacted in FY12 and continued to be muted in the period with high inflation expectations, pronounced interest rates and economic uncertainty being key contributing factors. Recent consumer surveys have indicated increasing tendency of consumers to postpone purchase decisions (as illustrated in the chart below), a pause in the up-trading trend witnessed in the recent years with respect to discretionary items and improved resilience of tier 2 and 3 markets as compared to the primary metropolitan markets in the country.

 

 

ECONOMIC GROWTH:

 

The Indian economy had responded strongly to the fiscal and monetary stimulus and achieved a growth rate of 8.6% and 9.3% in the Financial Years 2009-10 and 2010-11 respectively post the global downturn. However, with the economy exhibiting inflation tendencies, the Reserve Bank of India started raising the policy rates in March 2010. High interest rates as well as policy constraints adversely impacted investment, and in the subsequent two years (Financial Year 2011-12 and 2012-13), the growth rate slowed to 6.2% and 5% respectively. Despite this slow growth rate the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for gross domestic product (GDP) at factor cost, over the decade ending 2012-13 is 7.9%. Relatively India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and the nominal private final consumption expenditure is expected to increase by about four times to over US Dollar 3.5 trillion in 2020 from the current level. Demographics is expected to be a significant factor impacting the growth over the next decade and consequently facilitating increased penetration of organized retailing.

 

 

OPERATIONS – WESTSIDE

 

The Westside store, the predominantly private label fashion apparel format, continues to be the mainstay of the retailing business of the company. This format over the years has been rolled out across the country and currently covers over 42 cities.

 

In the year, seven stores were opened including the following – Vizag (R K Estate), Jalandhar (Model Town), Dehradun (Cross Roads Mall), Anand (Sigma Prime Complex), Bareilly (Rampur Baugh), Cochin (Lulu Mall) and Trichy (Muthiah Towers).

 

In the first quarter of the current financial year three further stores have been opened in Kurnool (Jyoti Mall), Chandigarh (Elante Mall), Chennai (Vijaya Forum Mall) taking the total number of operational Westside stores to 73.

 

During FY12-13, as can be observed from the above chart the Company recorded seven new store openings. Also four stores which were seen to be located in declining malls/ shopping centers and hence lacking a sustainable growth outlook were closed. With respect to stores, the focus during the year especially in the second half was refurbishment of older stores. From an operating perspective, the period was encouraging for the Westside format viewed especially in the context of the difficult macro-economic environment:

 

  • Over the course of the year, input margins were gradually stabilized to levels broadly in line with FY10-11, while holding product pricing mostly flat. As discussed in earlier reports, the margins in FY12-13 had been significantly impacted by the 10% excise duty on branded apparel and escalation in yarn prices.
  • Customer off-take improved in the second half and sales were healthy during most of the festive period and the end of season sale in the January 2013.
  • In the context of the market conditions, advertising and promotion expenditure was relatively curtailed.
  • Reasonable like-for-like growth witnessed and conscious efforts to ensure timely liquidation of offranged stock avoided any undue inventory buildup; also there has been continued focus on reining in cost escalations across line items.
  • Some of the stores opened during the last two years witnessed slower ramp up in sales and on the other hand involved higher operating costs including on account of common area maintenance cost charge-outs. There were also costs relating to closure of the four marginal stores in the portfolio during the period.

 

 

OPERATIONS – STAR BAZAAR

 

Star Bazaar, the discount hypermarket format, has continued to receive commitment of resources in the period, and there are now fifteen operational stores-three in Mumbai (Andheri, Dahisar and Thane), four in Bangalore, two in Ahmedabad and Pune, one each in Aurangabad, Surat, Chennai and Kolhapur. Each Star Bazaar is modeled to be a one stop shop offering a wide range of products including fresh foods – fruits, vegetables and non vegetarian products, dairy, home care, health and beauty products, apparel, home décor, gifts and household items. During the year, the like-for-like sales growth of Star Bazaar stores was 7.9% marginally up from 5.4% witnessed in the preceding year.

 

Consistent with the commentary in previous years, the company continues to view food and grocery (FandG) retailing as a substantial opportunity, which is worthy of being seriously pursued in the medium term. FandG remains one of the largest categories and is estimated at around 60% of consumer spending.

 

Nevertheless, given the significantly lower gross margins on FandG vis-à-vis other merchandise (and therefore formats), the need to evolve an economically viable business model is viewed to be critical. The performance of the Star Bazaar business over the last few years has been encouraging. However, this business continues to incur operational losses, especially on account of the under absorption of corporate costs. We believe this trend would continue until the business evolves into a sustainable model and consequently reaches a critical mass. Registering strong same store sales growth in the interim would also be a key prerequisite for eventual profitability of this format.

 

No new stores were opened during the year. While there were a few stores in the pipeline – they were located inside shopping malls as compared to being standalone stores. Increasingly, we believe based on empirical evidence and otherwise that the hypermarket format is best suited to operate from standalone schemes. Some of the key driving factors include:

 

  • Customers do not prefer to navigate the mall with a shopping trolley and rather prefer quick and direct access to parking and to public transport options; hence, stores in shopping malls do not necessarily generate higher footfalls compared to standalone stores;
  • Given its economics, the hypermarket format does not afford any headroom for incurring the substantial common area maintenance charges in shopping malls. These charges are primarily on account of electricity charges relating to air conditioning etc of the common areas of the mall. These charges are negligible in the case of standalone stores.
  • From an operational perspective standalone schemes allow for much easier and through the day replenishment of stores unlike in the case of mall stores.

 

Given the above considerations, unless the overall package in a mall scheme is seen to be very attractive, we have sought to not progress with opening Star Bazaar hypermarkets inside large shopping malls. In this backdrop, the focus of the management during the period has been to achieve improved efficiencies from the existing operations and evolving a more calibrated product offer that would allow for sustainable growth going forward.

 

 

OPERATIONS – LANDMARK

 

Landmark stores – the format retailing inter-alia books, music, toys and gaming – are managed by a subsidiary of the company, Landmark Limited. As of date, there are 19 operational stores across the country.

 

The significant restructuring measures initiated in FY 11-12 across the Landmark business continued in the period under view with the following primary objectives:

 

  • Refreshing The relevance of the format to the target audience in terms of the core customer proposition especially given the evolving market landscape for retailers in this space
  • Building a sustainable platform to leverage the brand strength of the Landmark banner to facilitate growth and scale over the medium term.

 

 

OVERALL FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

Overall, on a standalone basis the Company has reported a total income of Rs. 9960.000 Millions (Rs. 9120.000 Millions in FY12) for the period and a Profit after Tax of Rs. 622.600 Millions (Rs. 472.700 Millions in FY12). Exceptional items for the year represent provision for diminution in the value of investment in an overseas wholly owned subsidiary of Rs. 32.500 Millions. The results for the year reflect impact of 10% excise duty on branded garments, improved off take witnessed in the Westside format and substantial restructuring of the Sisley franchise operations.

 

On a consolidated basis the Company has reported total revenues of Rs. 22002.700 Millions (Rs. 19007.800 Millions in FY12) for the period and a negative Profit After Tax after Minority Interest of Rs. 268.300 Millions (negative Rs. 377.600 Millions in FY12). Results of the standalone entity contributed positively to the consolidated results while primarily Star Bazaar and Landmark contributed negatively during the period. The results also incorporate the provision for diminution in certain assets in Trent Hypermarket Limited (THL) and the setoff against the reserves consistent with the relevant High Court Order. In summary, the consolidated bottom-line of the Company primarily reflects the cost of incubation of the hypermarket business (THL) and losses in Landmark Limited.

 

A review of the performance of the principal formats has been covered in prior sections.

 

 

OUTLOOK

A pronounced rate of inflation and continued high interest rate levels are the apparent dampeners to near term performance. In fact, on a post-tax basis the yield on bank deposits are still broadly in line with the inflation rate, implying marginal real interest rates. The above factors continue to impact discretionary consumer spending headroom. Hence the consumption triggers are still not positive at this time. This backdrop, coupled with the escalating costs (especially wages, electricity and common area maintenance) implies continued challenges.

 

On the other hand, we are encouraged by signs of improving economic situation with the easing inflation rates in the recent months. Further, the government is focusing on strengthening the investment environment to stimulate growth. In this context, the notification of the 51% FDI in retail is expected over time to present a further set of opportunities and challenges to the industry. The relatively flat apparel input prices coupled with the abolition of the excise duty on branded apparel in the union budget 2013 should augur well for the organized retail industry. Separately, the continued hiring by various sectors (at the entry level) and consequently improved absorption of youth into the organized workforce should serve as an important positive consumption trigger.

 

Separately, the continued challenges in securing properties at acceptable rentals and valuations in the real estate space (with most participants in the organized retail pursuing their growth plans) remain a cause for concern. So we view improving the quantum and quality of our pipeline of new stores especially for the Star Bazaar format as a challenge that we already face and are having to address. However, the property pipeline already contracted should still allow opening a number of new Westside and Star Bazaar stores.

 

The prior observations on the near term consumption triggers notwithstanding, we continue to be very positive on the underlying case for growth of organized retailing in India over the coming decade. As observed in the previous years, the intent going forward is to continue substantially scaling up our presence and in doing so across the formats:

 

  • Emphasize sustainable store level profitability and only scale up with new stores locations that are expected to be profitable within an agreeable time frame;
  • Concentrate resources on substantially growing the existing anchor formats (especially Westside and Star Bazaar);
  • Continue to be primarily “large box”; especially given the rental economics vis-à-vis sales densities in locations of interest to us;
  • Selectively commit direct investments in properties, primarily for the Star Bazaar business;
  • Leverage relationship with global retailers like Tesco and Inditex to further the profitable growth of respective formats.

BENETTON AND TRENT LIMITED FORM A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FOR SISLEY'S EXPANSION IN INDIA

 

The Group will boost its presence in the sub-continent, where it has operated for over 15 years and already counts around 140 United Colors of Benetton shops.

 

 

Mumbai, 18 September 2007.  Benetton Group and Trent Limited, a Tata Group Company, have joined forces in a strategic partnership for the Sisley brand’s commercial expansion in India. The agreement was signed today by Alessandro Benetton, executive deputy chairman of Benetton Group, and Noel Tata, managing director of Trent Limited.

 

Under this agreement, Trent will open and manage a number of Sisley stores in India’s major cities. The first shops will open over the next few months, starting with the top shopping streets in two of India’s most dynamic cities: Hyderabad and Bangalore.

 

The new partnership will enable the Benetton Group to boost its presence in India, a key market for the entire continent, where it has been operating for over 15 years and already counts around 140 United Colors of Benetton shops.

 

Trent Limited has over a decade of experience in the Indian retail industry with an existing portfolio of 39 stores across 3 formats targeting the value/mid-market segment.  Trent today operates the Westside departmental stores; Landmark, the largest books and music retail chain in India and Star India Bazaar, its chain of hypermarkets.

 

“Working with such a prestigious partner”, Alessandro Benetton commented, “will allow us to accelerate Sisley’s development and success in India. We immediately found ourselves in solid accord with Tata, based on our common goal to launch Sisley, a high-end brand with strong growth potential. Together, we can guarantee the quality of both the product and its distribution and consolidate the brand’s distinctive identity.”

 

Adds Noel Tata, “Our existing operations, across three diverse retail formats, have given us key insights into the business and the Indian consumer.  The partnership with the Benetton Group gives us the opportunity to tap the burgeoning premium segment of consumers.  We believe that Sisley has a high potential for growth and we will leverage our experience to optimise the tremendous opportunity.”

 

The agreement comes only a few months after the launch of Sisley’s first three pilot stores in Delhi which were an immediate and significant success with Indian customers. These three shops will be directly managed by Trent.

 

Sisley has more than 900 stores around the world. Its collections, distinguished by their strong fashion content, reflect the latest trends of the season. Sisley offers a wide choice of clothes for men and women, and this winter launches a new range that is even richer and more sophisticated:
