THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Thailand is trying to maintain growth by encouraging domestic consumption and public investment to offset weak exports in 2012. Unemployment, at less than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world, which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai government is implementing a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum wage policy and deploying new tax reforms designed to lower rates on middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external economic shocks in recent years. The global economic severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In 2009, the economy contracted 2.3%. However, in 2010, Thailand's economy expanded 7.8%, its fastest pace since 1995, as exports rebounded. In late 2011 growth was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. Industry recovered from the second quarter of 2012 onward with GDP growth at 5.5% in 2012. The government has approved flood mitigation projects worth $11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage, and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the next seven years with a plan to start in 2013.

COMMENT

The  company  is  a subsidiary  of  Tata  Steel (Thailand)  Public  Co.,  Ltd.  who  is  the  biggest  steel  maker  in  Thailand at Bo Win,  Chonburi  province. The  principle  activity is the manufacturing  and  distributing  of  round and deformed  bars  and  wire  rod  for  use  in  steel,  reinforced  concrete  for  construction  industry. 

 

The  company  projects a return to  profitability  for the fiscal year ending next March 31 after three  years of  losses  if  an anti-dumping  duty imposed.    The  temporary  duty  has  succeeded in curbing  imports,  but  the  measure  ends  in  December.  The  company is sticking with its sales  growth  projection  of  10%  for the  fiscal  year from expansion  in  the construction industry.

 
The  company  still  maintains  the  leadership  position  in  product  segments  like  deform bars  and  wire rods.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 40.33 and 40.16 in 2013 and 2012 respectively. This ratio measures the efficiency of the company in managing its trade debtors to generate revenue. A lower ratio may indicate over extension and collection problems. Conversely, a higher ratio may indicate an overtly stringent policy. In this case, the company's A/R ratio in 2013 increased from 2012. This would suggest the company had good performance in the management of its debt collections.

 

Inventory Turnover in Days Ratio indicates the liquidity of inventory. It estimates the number of days that it will take to sell the current inventory. Inventory is particularly sensitive to change in business activities. The inventory turnover in days has decreased from 40 days at the end of 2012 to 29 days at the end of 2013. This represents a positive trend. And Inventory turnover has increased from 9.23 times in year 2012 to 12.68 times in year 2013.

 

The company's Total Asset Turnover is calculated as 3.26 times and 2.25 times in 2013 and 2012 respectively. This ratio is determined by dividing total assets into total sales turnover.
