INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

OPERATIONS

 

For the year ended on 31st March, 2011, the net sales (excluding excise and VAT) of the Company was Rs. 4584.008 millions, an increase of 76.71 % as compared to previous year ended March 31, 2010 and the Net Loss was recorded at Rs.476.611 millions.

 

The Scheme of Amalgamation of Optim Estates Private Limited (Optim) with the Company as approved by the High Court of Bombay (the 'Scheme') has become effective on 20th September 2010. The Appointed date of the Scheme was 1st April 2009. In terms of the Scheme, on 11th October 2010, the Company issued 10,00,000 fully paid Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs.10/- each and 1,50,000 equity shares to the equity shareholders of erstwhile Optim. Accordingly, the results of the Company for the year 31st March 2011 include the figures of Optim with effect from 1st April 2009

 

During the year, the Company invested in a company, Virtuous Shopping Centres Private Limited ('Virtuous'). Virtuous is a Special Purpose Vehicle and a joint venture company of subject and Virtuous Trustees Private Limited and others, nominees of Xander. The main object of Virtuous is to develop and deal in retail malls and shopping centres. The Company has invested a sum of Rs.6.732 millions in Virtuous and holds 66.66% of the paid up capital.

 

The Company continues to view food and grocery (F and G) retailing as a substantial opportunity, which is worthy of being seriously pursued in the medium term. F and G remains one of the largest categories and is estimated at around 60% of consumer spending.

 

Share of spend and organized retail penetration

 

Nevertheless, given the significantly lower gross margins on F and G vis-a-vis other merchandize (and therefore formats), the need to evolve a economically viable business model is viewed to be critical. The performance of Star Bazaar business over the last two years continues to be encouraging and has aided the pursuit of the stated expansion plans with greater conviction. Nevertheless, this business continues to incur operational losses, especially on account of the under absorption of shared services and corporate costs. Also, they believe this trend would continue until the business reaches a critical mass over the next few years.

 

During the year, the Company opened four new stores in Bangalore, Pune, Aurangabad and Surat. There are now eleven operational stores three in Mumbai, three in Bangalore, one each in Ahmedabad, Aurangabad, Surat, Pune and Chennai. It is proposed to open seven new stores during the current financial year. During the year, the like-for-like sales growth of Star Bazaar stores continued to be strong at 20%.

 

Star Bazaar Hypermarkets

 

Subject has a franchise and a wholesale supply arrangement with Tesco Plc of U.K. and its wholly owned subsidiary [Tesco Hindustan Wholesaling Private Limited (THWPL)] in India respectively, in respect of the Star Bazaar business. The exclusive franchise agreement allows the Star Bazaar business access to Tesco's extensive retail expertise and technical capability including world class IT systems, processes and best practices in functions like marketing, stock management, retail information systems, supply-chain infrastructure and front-end services to drive the growth of hypermarket business. Under the wholesale supply arrangement, Star Bazaar also sources merchandise from Tesco's wholesale business in India, benefiting from Tesco's sourcing capability and supply chain expertise. Given concerted efforts from both teams, a significant share of merchandise retailed across Star Bazaar stores is now being sourced by THWPL.

 

The plan and key initiatives in respect of the Star Bazaar stores include:

• The intention to scale up the number of stores in the country to about 50 over the medium term.

 

The pace of roll-out is hindered primarily on account of slower than expected pace of delivery of signed properties by developers and they see this to be a continuing challenge even going forward.

 

• Large box format - as with the existing store portfolio, the intent in the medium term is to continue to focus on rollout of Star Bazaar stores with a footprint in the region of fifty thousand square feet, especially given the need to contain per square foot rentals. Further, as a conscious strategy additional square footage has been secured in select locations in order to facilitate sub-lease to adjacent retail offerings and improve realization.

 

• Local sourcing and consumer catchment - establishing robust regional sourcing arrangements is seen to be inevitable in-order to service a chain of large hypermarkets in a profitable manner. Also, primarily from a traffic and consumer behavior perspective, they do not see 'outside city limits' stores being sustainable and hence the intent is to continue to focus on the immediate hinterland of a proposed store and the catchment it affords.

 

• Emphasis in Star Bazaar to be on Food as well as Non-Food merchandize - this from a gross margin as well as from range availability perspective for the customer. However, they are yet to witness any material shift in mix towards non-food merchandize.

 

• Own label offerings - over time as the branding of the stores get entrenched, emphasis would be on increasing the contribution of 'own label' offerings across categories. This emphasis is also consistent with the estimated share of private label merchandize seen in the case of entrenched international retailers.

 

The results of the Company have broadly been in line with expectations and mostly encouraging - with existing stores reporting strong same store sales growth especially in the last two years.

 

They see increasing visibility of scaling up this operation into a consequential and eventually profitable business over the next few years, aided by the strategies being pursued and the expertise accessed from Tesco through the franchise and wholesale supply arrangements. However, in the interim this business continues to warrant significant investment of capital and is expected to take a few more years before the shared services and central costs get covered by the contribution generated from stores.
