Comments :

Subject is an associate of Philip Morvis Global Brands Inc. and K K Modi Group. It is the second largest player in the Indian Cigarette Industry.

 

It is an old, well established and reputed company having excellent track.

 

Even though the company has seen a significant improvement in its sales volume, there appears a dip in its net profitability during 2013, may be on account of high excise duties and multiple state taxes. However, the financial and liquidity position seems to be strong, marked by healthy capital structure and cash surplus.

 

The rating also take into consideration the strong brand image, established distribution network and presence in various tobacco related product lines.

 

Trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payment terms are reported as regular and as per commitments.

 

In view of long standing experience of the promoters and a comfortable market position, the subject can be considered good for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The current downturn provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.

 

A stagflation like situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of 6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6 % in August. Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.

 

136000 estimated number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year. 50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social responsibility in the coming years.

 

The International Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been launched in India from 1st November.

 

The Land Acquisition Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with advanced trading technology by the end of November.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GENERAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

The year, has been a difficult year for the Indian industry. Global trade flows to EU zone have been severely impacted due to loss of credibility of the European sovereign debt paper. This has led to credit squeeze resulting in decline in export volumes for the emerging market nations. Simultaneously, their nation has been grappling with rising oil and gold imports. This double impact has led to further widening of current account deficit thereby creating added pressure on government finances. Also, the Indian rupee continued to remain weak. Cigarettes among tobacco sector have become easy victim to government drive to shore up its revenues.

 

Food inflation has been unrelenting and is in double digits even when the headline inflation numbers have started moderating. With high food inflation, discretionary spends have come under pressure. High inflation coupled with increase in prices of consumer goods has led to erosion of price value equation and forced the RBI to pursue tight monetary policy. Many brands across the cigarette industry have seen significant losses in volumes.

 

IMF forecasts real global GDP growth of 3.3% in 2013, about the same as the 3.2% in 2012, and the expectation is that growth rates will improve to 4% the year after. All this is hinging on the economic successes of emerging countries especially China and India. Emerging markets are expected to grow between 5% to 6% in the next 2 years. Countries having local demand have witnessed resilience in these turbulent times compared to export centric economies. With the United States showing signs of coming out of a low growth phase and no further negative news emerging from Europe, global trade should start growing once again. India is among the Top 5 nations producing tobacco. Their tobacco is being exported across various continents for the purpose of blending as well as direct use.

 

While the current environment is difficult, yet the future holds promise. Indian economy is expected to show a substantial improvement in its growth in the fiscal 2013-14 aided by easing supply side constraints, lower inflation, softening of interest rates and fast-tracking of investment projects. Given such a scenario, where all the three major sectors of the economy perform better in 2013-14 as compared to 2012-13, the overall economy is expected to grow in the range of 6 percent in 2013-14.

 

TOBACCO INDUSTRY

 

Indian cigarette market has shown a decline of around 2% in volume and a growth of 20% in terms of value over the previous year. This year a new segment has been created – the 64 mm filter tipped cigarette segment with relatively lower excise duty, which is considered as cost effective option and has provided some relief to the manufacturers in terms of volume protection. Premiumisation trend continued with Kings Segment, which now accounts 14% of the industry’s share whereas Mini Kings has been able to grow to a modest level of 4.3%. However, the Regular Size Filter (RSFT) category, which forms the body of the industry has lost industry’s share from 82.2% to 76.9% in FY 13. Also, the industry continues to face the menace of illicit trade.

 

Indian leaf tobacco exports were higher as compared to last year, both in volume and value terms.

 

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

 

Global regime continued to get stricter on tobacco control during the year. Different countries are considering varied means, all aimed at curtailing tobacco usage.

 

India is no exception to this environment. New set of graphic health warnings have been implemented with effect from 1st April, 2013. A recent Supreme Court ruling interpreting certain provisions of the tobacco control legislation known as COTPA, has further limited the industry’s ability to market tobacco products. However, they are committed to abide by the regulations as a responsible corporate.

 

Gutkha, a form of smokeless tobacco has been banned under the food laws by almost all the States across

India. But the Gutkha manufacturers are litigating against the ban.

 

TAXATION

 

The trend to increase Value Added Tax (VAT) rates at State level continued during the year with more and more States resorting to tax tobacco products to bridge the revenue shortfall. And as an impact of that, VAT rates in India on cigarettes now vary from 12.5% to 65%. This multiplicity of rates is disrupting the trade by promoting inter-State illicit movement of stocks. They sincerely hope that unified VAT or GST regime in course of time will help the industry, trade and consumers by bringing rationality and clarity.

 

Steep hikes in excise duties and VAT and consequential rise in prices of cigarettes has led to consumers shifting away from cigarettes towards other forms of tobacco where tax incidence is relatively low and administration is extremely weak.

 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE IN 2012-2013

 

CIGARETTES

 

The domestic cigarettes business was subject to increased rates of central and state taxes during the year under report. Although the resultant pricing pressure caused domestic volumes to decline, the Company still registered a growth of over 5% in terms of value, from Rs. 27760.000 millions in the previous year to Rs. 29200.000 millions and also captured a healthy market share of the newly-created 64 mm segment.

 

The Company is working on a roadmap to strengthen key brands like, Four Square, Red and White and Cavanders, through a combination of product innovation, distribution-led initiatives and consumer engagement programs. New research methodologies are being used to understand consumers in a more holistic manner. It is also embarking on a series of critical strategic projects to improve brand saliency and offer unique value propositions to consumers which will help it place its key brands at a higher growth path.

 

TEA

 

Post the slight dip witnessed last year, the domestic tea business bounced back on track and recorded sales of Rs. 1060.000 millions as against Rs. 950.000 millions during preceding year, a growth of 12%. The Company undertook various initiatives such as launching new product offerings for both general and institutional customers and expanding modern trade business with entry into new chains and trade formats, which contributed to the growth story. Apart from inroad made into the HORECA, HTS (hot tea shops) and Railways, various other alternative distribution channels are being targeted for business expansion. Heightened print mass media campaigns and ground activations have led to greater salience and traction for the Tea City portfolio. Post complete automation, both the tea blending and packing units at Kolkata and Bazpur have become ISO 22000:2005 certified. Supercup franchise rejuvenation progressed well on track with upgraded product quality and contemporary packaging leading to a volume growth of 11% during the year. Targeted innovative campaigns and offering have helped in stabilizing and growing other franchises like Utsav and Samovar.

 

CHEWING PRODUCTS

 

The Company had another good year for its Chewing business as it achieved turnover of Rs. 1420.000 millions during financial year 2012-13 as compared to Rs. 1210.000 millions during financial year 2011-12. This growth was achieved in the backdrop of significant changes in the industry during the year including ban on Gutkha in most of the States in India. This growth could have been still higher but for the surprise move by the Maharashtra government to cover tobacco-free pan masala category also under its order to ban Gutkha invoked in July 2012.

 

Full implementation of the Gutkha ban is expected to result in upsides in the pan masala business. During the year, the Company entered the market in Jharkhand. While ‘Pan Vilas’ continues to be the flagship offering, an economy pan masala variant under the brand ‘Raag’ is in the process of being launched in the markets like: UP, MP, Jharkhand, Orissa, and Gujarat. They are operating in zarda segment with the brands ‘Swarn Vilas’ and ‘Tarana’. They are looking to further streamline operations to drive efficiency and contain costs while strengthening distribution reach to tap into new markets specially in rural segments and thereby improve market share. The Company will look to enter newer segments within the chewing products category such as flavoured elaichi and supari, and mouth freshener, in both premium and mid premium categories.

 

RETAIL

 

Company’s foray into retail business through 24X7 convenience stores is making steady progress. The

Company is currently operating through 35 stores spread across NCR and expects to more than double this number during the current year. New business models are currently under evaluation with the help of Japanese consultants and they hope to scale greater heights in times to come.

 

TREASURY OPERATIONS

 

The Company continues to enjoy the highest rating of ‘CRISIL A1+’ for Short Term Debt Programme, ‘CRISIL AA+/Stable’ for Long Term Loan, ‘CRISIL AA+/Stable’ for Cash Credit Limit and ‘CRISIL A1+’ for Non-fund based Limit. With these ratings in place, the Company is able to raise funds at most competitive terms.

 

Guided by the policy of safe, liquid and tax efficient returns, the Company has been deploying its long term surplus funds primarily in debt oriented schemes of reputed mutual funds mainly consisting of Fixed Maturity Plans (FMPs). The Company also continued to park its temporary surpluses in liquid schemes of various mutual funds.

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

During the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company registered sales turnover of Rs. 35980.000 millions as against Rs. 33490.000 millions during corresponding previous financial year, a growth of 7.4%. The profit after tax was marginally lower at Rs. 1700.000 millions against Rs. 1810.000 millions last year.

 

The Union Budget 2013 has yet again increased the excise duty on cigarette by around 18%, which has been followed up by some State Governments hiking VAT rates significantly. The continuous increase in taxation on cigarette over the last several years has been adversely affecting the volumes and therefore, impacting profitability.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India has, vide its General Circular No. 2 dated 8th February, 2011 granted a general exemption to companies under section 212(8) of the Companies Act, 1956 from attaching the documents referred to in section 212(1) pertaining to its subsidiaries subject to the fulfilment of conditions stipulated in the Circular. The Company has satisfied the conditions specified in the Circular and hence entitled to the exemption.

 

In compliance of the aforesaid Circular, the annual accounts of the subsidiaries will be made available upon request by any shareholder of the Company and its subsidiaries. The annual audited accounts of the subsidiaries will also be kept for inspection by any shareholder at the Company’s Corporate Office as well as its Registered Office and at the offices of the respective subsidiaries during business hours. Further, as per the provisions of Section 212 of the Act, a statement of the Company’s interest in its subsidiaries and a statement summarizing financial performance parameters of subsidiary companies are included under notes to the consolidated financial statements and forms part of the Annual Report.
