INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

PERFORMANCE

 

As per provisions of revised Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956, during the year the Company has achieved a 40.48% increase in gross sales of products at Rs.7419.377 Millions as compared to Rs.5281.135 Millions of previous year and total income raised by 38.22% from Rs.5256.785 Millions to Rs.7265.930 Millions. The Profit before tax is Rs.430.101 Millions in the current year compared to Rs.380.053 Millions of the previous year. The profit after tax is increased from Rs.94.499 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs.116.349 Millions in 2011-12.

 

OPERATIONS:

 

This fiscal year was exciting and challenging. A systematic and meticulous approach to business was adopted. Systems and processes were streamlined and rationalized. The Products front saw new and innovative products being introduced and non-performing products were phased out gradually. In the fiscal year 2012, Kurlon continued to expand its product portfolio by introducing several new products in all the three mattress categories, ie Rubberised Coir, Spring and Foam. This initiative helped Kurlon to penetrate into many untapped niche areas especially in Tier 3 and Tier 4 towns. At the same time low contribution or low volume products were phased out so as to reduce clutter at the factories, sales offices and at the dealers end. Promotions were designed bearing in mind market requirements. The KKK program was a runaway success, as anticipated. National and local promotions were devised and implemented. A judicious blend of push and pull strategies yielded desired outcomes. Placement of Kurlon products was revisited and efforts to increase the market share saw new dealer enlistments in virgin territories of Tier 3 and Tier 4 towns. Pricing of Kurlon products as usual were done with concept of MRP and giving more value for money.

 

RETAIL OPERATIONS:

 

The retail division commenced its operations with two exclusive and industry changing retail formats i.e the Kurlon Store (KS) and Kurlon Mattress Xpress (KMX).

 

The KS and KMX showcase all Kurlon products. In the year 2011-12, they began operations of eight Kurlon Stores. They launched the concept of Kurlon Mattress Xpress from November 2011 and began operations for most of the KMXs from March - April 2012.

 

In the way forward, the cumulative number of signups until FY2013 is expected to be 150 KMXs out of which 120 KMXs expected to begin full operations. The growth story in retail has just begun.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

Despite the looming global recession and domestic listless economy, the future prospects for Business in the Home Comforts Industry never looked better. With better awareness and media penetration, the Tier II and Tier III towns are also catching up very fast with lifestyle changes of Tier I towns. In fact, on the retail side, it has been very evident that growth in consumer goods has been predominantly through the Tier II , Tier III towns and the rural population. This is also triggered by the increasing disposable incomes in these towns. This change is leading to adoption of modern products including fabricated mattress and high quality furniture in large numbers and also the aspiration to upgrade to a fabricated mattress. The increased income of younger generations is also leading to generation of higher demand for premium segment mattresses and allied products. Housing, Hotel, Hospitality and medical tourism are on the increase and the prospect of business looks good.

 

In order to cater to this ever increasing demand, the company resorted to optimization of its resources and planned to increase its manufacturing capacity in different locations across India and has been adding capacity at existing locations as well as starting up green field projects. The coming year will see us add a huge chunk of incremental capacities in Gwalior and the upcoming plant in Gujarat apart from enhancements in Yeshwantpur and Dabaspet. This should be sufficient to meet the demands of the customers for the next 3-5 years.

 

This increase in capacities will also be augmented with a ramp-up in the geographical coverage both with increase in their Area Sales Offices and dealer network. They estimate that in the next 1-2 years they will be able to increase the number of towns they serve by 50-60%, thereby giving us access to new markets and geographies. This will be coupled with new products, channel and innovations, which will help us attract consumers across the socio-economic spectrum.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Indian Economy and Global Markets:

 

In 2011, Indias economic growth has slowed to below 7 percent and the stock markets mirrored the weakening economic conditions, but recovered somewhat in early 2012. Agriculture and Services sectors continue to perform well. 2.5 % growth in Agro sector forecast. Services sector grows by 9.4 %, its share in GDP goes up to 59%. Industrial growth pegged at 4-5 percent, expected to improve as economic recovery resumes. India remains among the fastest growing economies of the world. Exports grew at 40.5% in the first half of this fiscal and imports grew by 30.4%. Foreign trade performance to remain a key driver of growth. Forex reserves enhanced- covering nearly the entire external debt stock. Sustainable development and climate change concerns on high priority. ( www.pib.nic.in- survey) The global economic environment which was tenuous at best throughout the year, turned sharply adverse in September, 2011, owing to the turmoil in the euro-zone countries and questions about others, reflected in sharp ratings downgrades of sovereign debt in most major advanced countries. While a large part of the reason for the slowing of the Indian economy can be attributed to global factors, domestic factors also played role. Among these are the tightening of monetary policy owing to high and persistent headline inflation and slowing investment and industrial activity. However, for the Indian economy, which is primarily driven by domestic consumption, the outlook for growth and price stability at this juncture looks more promising.

 

Industry Structure and Development:

 

The company is not only the largest mattress company in India, it also is a key player in the furniture, bed, furnishings and commercial foam. Traditionally, Indian mattress market has been dominated by rubberized coir and foam mattresses, but recent trends also indicate a fast growing preference for spring mattresses.

 

As a market leader, the company has always been working on creating innovative products which have triggered growth in the market of organized mattress market. These new products, coupled with the newly introduced Kurlon Mattress Express, have led to upgrades on the consumer front.

 

The overall organized mattress market is estimated to be around Rs 17500.000 Millions per annum and is estimated to grow around 18% CAGR during the next couple of years and they estimate that they will be in a dominant position as they have always been.

 

With regards to commercial foam, the current per capita consumption of PU foam in India is estimated to be around 250 grams against the global average of approximately 1.3 kgs. With rising income and more affluent lifestyle, India is also expected to have a per capital consumption in excess of 1 Kg by 2020 and this clearly indicates the potential growth the PU foam industry would have in the coming years.

 

In this sector, the Company is already the second largest player in India and this position will be further augmented during the coming year with their new state of the art factory coming up in Gujarat. The new plant will also enable us to manufacture certain new type of foams helping us to address the demands of the new market segments and also help us capture much larger share of the market growth.

 

MATTRESSES:

 

I.        Rubberised Coir Mattress Market

 

At the outset we plan to hold on to our existing markets and intend to penetrate interior and untapped markets with new and innovative products which are competitively priced. The rubberized coir mattress market continues to dominate the organized mattress sector.

 

II.      Spring Mattress Market

 

The spring mattress market has seen a steady growth which is fuelled by changes in customer expectation, experience and affordability. We have understood these changes and expanded our manufacturing capabilities to cater to this demand.

 

III.    Foam mattresses

 

Total market size of foam mattresses in INDIA is around Rs. 4000.000 Millions/ annum. Market is the mixture of PU Foam and Rubber Foam, in which PU Foam has a larger chunk. Major market is unorganized because foam sheets are directly getting converted to mattresses at dealers counter. However, Kurlon managed to grow in this division of mattresses too and increased its share in total market for foam mattresses in India. It managed to achieve turnover of Rs.285.000 Millions during the last year from foam mattresses. Kurlon has ambitious plans with respect to foam and foam mattresses and expect to grow tremendously this year too

 

FURNITURE AND FURNISHING:

 

I.        Furniture:

 

Furniture industry as a whole is managed by unorganized sector of carpenters. 85% of the total market requirement is managed by them on a very local and customized basis. There are very few companies who are trying to give this industry a shape of organized structured business.

 

Furniture is an integral part of any house and the business is in line with our current business of mattresses. We see a great opportunity to explore this market. We guarantee to give not only good quality product with better innovative designs but also very effective after sales service.

 

II.      Furnishing:

 

A different strategy has been developed for addressing this product portfolio. We are focusing on developing new and trendy designs based on the consumer feedback which would ensure that the products move in the market. Due care is taken to ensure that our products are priced right so that our bottom line is maintained and our channel partners make their margins. We are proposing to channel our products through our Franchisees as well.
