BACKGROUND

 

Economic recovery that was expected at the beginning of the year has not materialized. Global economic growth was lower than in the previous year with all the stars of the past few years (China/India/Other BRIC nations) clocking very moderate growth. Most of the large economies which were affected by the crisis of 2008 were still resorting to quantitative easing in some form or the other, hoping to stimulate investment and economic activity; however clear signs of recovery are still to emerge.

 

On the domestic front, a few issues continue to defy solutions - inflation has been ruling high for well over two years now leading to a period of relatively high interest rates and its negative impact on the economy; GDP growth of 5%,which is far lower than the 6.5% reported in the previous year and way below the 8% average that was achieved in the years leading upto 2010; the high level of government’s fiscal deficit at 5.4% continues to trouble the economy; and a continuously depreciating Rupee – from a level of Rs.50.88 in March, 2012 to the US Dollar, the Rupee in March, 2013 closed at Rs.54.285.

 

The Government expects the economy to pick up after faltering last year – GDP is expected to grow at around 6.5% in the coming financial year; fiscal deficit is expected to be contained to under 5% of GDP, and inflation is expected to be around 6.5%. However, this will depend on how some elements of the economy play out – such as oil and commodity prices, availability of adequate finances and the ability of the manufacturing sector to pull itself out of the current situation.

 

OPERATIONS

 

Overall sales grew by 10% in value terms in 2012-13 when compared to the previous year. In volume terms the growth was higher at 14%. Higher volumes were achieved in both Electrical as well as Communication Cable segments. Star performances came in from product offerings to the following customer sectors – automotive, agriculture and construction in the Electrical Cables segment and Coaxial and Optic Fibre Cables in the Communication Cable segment. Towards the end of the period, however, it was clear that both the Auto and Infrastructure (Power) sectors were under strain. On the other hand recent developments within the Telecom sector viz. announcement of the intention by the Government to create a nationwide Optic Fibre Network to provide connectivity to village panchayats, roll out of 4G services by some Telecom service providers etc will substantially improve growth possibilities in the coming financial year. Outlook on orders from this segment looks promising.

 

Income for the year was higher at Rs.22948.500 millions (previous year Rs.20961.500 millions) representing a growth of 10% over the previous year. The Company has recorded a Net Profit after Tax of Rs.1452.700 millions as against a Net Profit of Rs.981.900 millions in the previous year. The improved profitability comes from a better product mix, higher capacity utilization, growth in sales volumes across the product lines mentioned above, tight monitoring of working capital requirement and improved purchasing efficiencies.

 

EXPANSION AND CONSOLIDATION

 

Consolidation of the Pune manufacturing operations is underway as planned. Most operations would be consolidated at the Urse site by end 2013, with limited activity remaining at Pimpri. This will help further improve the cost competitiveness in the Low Duty Electrical Cables offered by the Company.

 

As announced in February 2013, the Company will set up a 5MW solar power plant at its Urse site, which has ample land, a part of which will be used to set up this facility. The facility will cost approximately Rs.400.000 millions to build and it is expected to be operational by January 2014. The power generated will be entirely consumed within the Urse site leading to cost efficiencies.

 

The Roorkee facility expansion is also well under way. Construction of a new factory shed is almost complete and new machinery has started arriving at the site. Commissioning of equipment is expected to be complete by end 2013. The expansion is expected to be within the budget of Rs.1000.000 millions and will be completed within the timeframe initially set.

 

In view of the opportunities now visible in the Telecom sector, the Company is investing in additional cable making equipment at the Optical Fibre Cable facility at Goa. Over the next year an investment of around Rs. 500 million is envisaged.

 

JOINT VENTURES

 

Finolex J-Power Systems Private Limited, Shirval near Pune

 

As mentioned in the previous year’s report the JV is now fully operational and has been participating in tenders both locally as well as overseas. The JV has secured its first large order (valued at Rs.380.000 millions) to supply 132 Kv power cables to the Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Co. Limited Thus far, the JV has supplied cables at the 66Kv and 110Kv range to its customers.

 

As members will be aware, in respect of the products offered by the JV, pre-qualification requirements are very stringent and no effort is being spared in ensuring that the JV obtains all the requisite certifications. Members will be happy to note that the JV’s 220Kv range of power cables have already passed the Type Test requirements and that the JV has secured certification from the Central Power Research Institute (CPRI) – this will enable the JV to bid and compete in these range of cables as well.

 

Corning Finolex Optical Fibre Private Limited

 

Business operations commenced during the last quarter of 2012-13. As mentioned earlier, recent announcements by the government augur well for the Telecom sector and it is expected that fiber sales will be robust in the current fiscal. It is expected that 2013-14 will be a promising year for Optic Fibre business and the JV expects to benefit from the same.

 

NEW PRODUCTS

 

The Company is continuously looking at developing new products to expand its portfolio as well as adapt to changing needs of the market. In the current fiscal, the Company has already launched new lamp models including LED based lighting systems meant for home use, street lighting and other commercial spaces. The Company has also plans of entering the switchgear product segment and will launch a series of products within the MCB, ELCB and MCCB range during 2013-14.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY:

 

The Company operates in two main segments - Electrical Cables and Communication Cables.

 

To support its requirement of Copper Rods for both type of cables, the Company manufactures Continuous Cast Copper Rods (CCC rods), at its Rod Plant at Goa. A small part of this production of CCC rods is, however, sold to third party customers. The result from this operation is declared under the Copper Segment.

 

The Company’s foray into the Lamps and Electrical Switches businesses is still in its early years and account for less than 5% of the Company’s turnover and are hence reported as “Others” in the Segment Results.

 

Main Segments:

 

The Company is the leading domestic manufacturer of electrical and communication cables with a wide product range. The Company offers a ‘Total Cable Solution’. The broad segmentation of the products manufactured by the Company is as follows:

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT:

 

The segment-wise discussion on the markets which are served by the Company is as follows:

 

Electrical Cables:

 

Electrical cables can be further categorised into light duty electrical cables, power and control cables.

 

(i) Light duty electrical cables include electrical wires used extensively for electrification of industrial establishments, electrical panel wiring in industrial establishments and major equipments, consumer durable goods, automobiles, agricultural pump sets, small generator applications besides general lighting purposes.

(ii) In power cable category, the Company has the ability to manufacture such cables within the range 1.1 kV to 66 kV. These cables are high voltage cables designed in various contructions depending upon their applications; however, always meant for underground usage. Power and control cables upto 3.3 kV rating are used for connecting user point to the main supply of power. Power cables above 3.3 kV rating are meant for use in underground application for intra-city electricity distribution network. The Company manufactures insulated power cables only. These cables meet the requirements of international standards.

 

Performance:

For the year, this segment cables registered sales (including Excise Duty) of Rs.20858.000 millions against Rs.17705.000 millions of the previous year. It accounted for 87% of total sales for the year. Growth during the year was driven by automobile, construction and agricultural applications. While the infrastructure area remained very subdued (with the poor financial position of the various power utilities as well as constraints faced by them in terms of fuel availability), during the last quarter the automobile sector was also under strain.

 

Outlook:

Electrical cables are the main focus area of business for the Company. In the near term the outlook is somewhat mixed – construction sector appears positive with development seeming more broad based and consumption being reported from interior areas of the Country rather than being limited to the larger cities; agricultural applications also appear positive and poised to continue on the growth shown in the previous years; automobile and infrastructure (power), however seem to be going through a slower growth path at this moment. In the long term, however, the outlook for the entire segment is positive, given the fact that sustained economic growth of the country depends on a robust and stable infrastructure.

 

The Company faces two principal risks in this business – firstly competition from a large unorganized sector which produces products of inferior quality but at cheap prices and secondly a highly volatile commodity market where price movements can be very sharp. The Company has been handling the risk of the competitive forces through its organized business approach by the strength of its reach, superior quality products, safe products and maintaining high standards of service levels with its customers. The Company enjoys the advantages of economies of scale and backward integration. As and when GST is rolled out in the country, the Company believes the threat of a competitive force that relies on cheap quality and unfair trade practices will reduce further. As regards the risk of sharp raw material price movements, though the Company endeavors to pass on the price effect to the customers, there has always been a time lag between the price movement and the passing thereof. The Company negotiates price variation contracts with bulk buyers. The Company has been fair in dealing with its customers and accordingly enjoys customer confidence in pricing decisions.

 

Communication Cables:

The communication cables comprise of state of art, new generation communication cables and traditional telephone cables.

(i) The state of art communication cables are either copper based or glass based. The copper based cables include LAN cables, coaxial cables, PE insulated switchboard cables and V-SAT cables. These cables are used for last mile connectivity. LAN cables are used in high speed networks, Coaxial cables are used to provide content input to TV receiving sets and in microwave communications and mobile towers, PE insulated switchboard cables are used to connect telephone instruments to an EPABX system and V-SAT cables find their application in V-SAT towers to connect the dish to the base station.

 

Optic fibre cables are glass based cables and they have the maximum bandwidth and speed. Certain cable designs are used as trunk cables in long distance networks while other designs are used in distribution, whether by telecom companies, multi-service organisations or other service providers.

 

Communication cables which carry, voice data or images is the backbone of an economic activity. The speed and bandwidth determine the capabilities of a communication network.

 

(ii) Traditional telephone cables include JFTCs which are laid underground and are used for connecting land line telephones to exchanges. These are copper based cables. With introduction of mobile telephones in India and due to substitution by optic fibre cables, JFTC business has lost its value. Nevertheless, JFTC continues to remain a preferred option for last mile connectivity in fixed line telephones. The demand for JFTCs will continue to remain modest. The Company would continue to manufacture JFTCs especially with broadband features for public sector and private sector telecom companies and to meet the export demand. The Company has the capability to make JFTCs as per customer’s needs.

 

Performance:

The communication cables segment (including optic fibre) recorded sales of Rs.1991.000 millions for the year against Rs.1420.000 millions for the earlier year. The year has been a change from the past three years during which period the telecom sector had been plagued by uncertainties. Some private service providers commenced roll out of their 4G services which brought in business opportunities. Also, the changeover to digital transmission in several cities across the country resulted in additional demand for Coaxial cables. With attractive price offerings and the past experience of better customer service, this segment has showed an improved performance in the year. Capacity utilisation at all plants have shown improvement leading to better margins and profitability.

 

Outlook:

With the impetus from the Government in providing better and faster internet access to rural India, the Company believes that demand for communication products will be robust for the foreseeable future. The economic development requires inter-alia, a strong, dependable and sustainable communication network. Besides the programs being implemented by the Government, roll out of 4G services by private service providers will entail additional capital expenditure in the form of an optic fibre network. The Company’s communication cables meet with the requirement of local as well as international standards and therefore, find ready acceptance with domestic customers as well as in the exports market. The outlook here, is positive, both in the near as well as long term.

 

The risks of competition and copper price movements similar to the electrical cables business are also applicable to the business of communication cables. The varying global demand-supply equation of optic fibre and resultant price movement thereof; availability of preforms and price thereof and delay/slow-down in investment into networks by telecom companies/service provider and other relevant entities due to global slow-down pose risk to the business of communication cables. The Company’s association with Corning Inc of USA, inventor of glass fibre, one of the world’s leading glass and fibre manufacturer and having the largest market share in the world, would be beneficial in meeting technological and market based challenges.

 

Copper Rods:

Copper rod is the feed stock for copper based electrical and communications cables. The Company manufactures its own copper rods. The base material for producing copper rods is copper cathodes, the bulk of which are procured from local manufacturers under long term supply agreements. A smaller portion of the requirement of copper cathodes is imported as and when needed. After meeting the in-house requirement of copper rods, the balance capacity to produce copper rods is allocated for third party sale.

 

Performance:

The sales were Rs.7,075 million (previous year Rs.9,504 million) of which Rs.836 million were sales to third parties (previous year Rs.2,051 million) and balance was inter-divisional transfers. With continued uncertainties in the global business environment, commodity markets remained volatile through the year – prices ranged from USD 8,300 at the beginning of the year before dropping to USD 7,000 levels by the end of the year. Within the domestic market, the threat of imported copper led to the domestic majors sharply dropping the premium on copper rods from earlier levels, while increasing the premium levels on copper cathode. This put severe pressure on margins related to sale of copper rods to third party – consequently the Company restricted its sale of copper rods to already committed contracts or contracts where the margin levels were acceptable. Overall, therefore, there was a reduction in the throughput at the copper rod segment.

 

Outlook:

The copper rod production is mainly for in-house consumption. The Company’s steps to set up new plants for cables as well as to expand the cable capacity at the existing plants will boost up the captive consumption of copper rods. Further, since the joint venture with J-Power Systems Corp. of Japan has commenced its operations, the venture’s copper requirements would be met by the Company’s copper rod plant. Accordingly the utilization of capacity at copper rod plant is expected to improve in coming years.

 

Electrical Switches and CFLs:

 

The manufacture and sale of these electrical products act as a logical extension of the cables business of the Company. They have the backing of Finolex name, assuring the customer of quality, safety and performance standards. These electrical and lighting products are sold through the existing well-spread distribution network of cables. Other distribution avenues are also being explored to penetrate further in the market. Products have been well accepted by the market.

 

On its part to contain the effects of global warming, the Government is promoting use of CFLs. Keeping in mind the expected growth in CFL demand the Company has built capacity in T3 and T4 type CFLs and has also launched the latest T5 tube lights and fittings in the market.

 

Both the above products fared well during the year and grew by more than 100% in volume and value terms. With improved distribution coverage, additions to product range including LED applications for the home, business, commercial and industrial usage being planned in the current fiscal, outlook in this area is very positive.

FINOLEX CABLES TO SET UP SOLAR POWER PLANT NEAR PUNE

 

February 14, 2013

http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/images/pixel.gif

PUNE: A captive 5 MW solar power plant will soon be set up by Finolex Cables Limited at its manufacturing facility at Urse near Pune with an estimated investment of Rs.400.000 millions.


The proposed plant, expected to be commissioned within six months, will provide electricity for the internal consumption of the Urse facility, which would be pooled with additional State Electricity Board (MSEDCL) supply for night time operations.

 

"With this in-house experience (setting up of captive solar power plant) we can go ahead and set up larger projects in future," company's Managing Director Deepak Chhabria told PTI, after the Finolex Cables' Board meeting which approved the third quarter results yesterday.

 

Referring to the company's future plans, Chhabria said there was good scope for growth in the fibre optic business as the new government initiated projects were expected to spur the demand in the sector.

 

"There are bright prospects for the segment growth in view of the government projects which envisage laying down of total underground network to be installed and handed over to the Defence services with an estimated investment of Rs.80000.000 millions to 100000.000 millions," he said.

 

"Tenders are already floated for these projects," Chhabria added.

 

While noting that the fibre optic sector was poised for significant growth, he said that as a country "we need to spend more on infrastructure to expand the industry."

 

Articulating the company philosophy, he said, "We are reinventing ourselves in large product portfolio in various segments. If you are diversified, you are better equipped."

 

He said the company aimed at being "one-stop-shop" for any cabling need with concentration of quality.

 

In reply to a question, Chhabria said if the government introduced uniform Goods and Service Tax ( GST), it will help the industry with improved sales.

 

Finolex Cables Limited is considered India's largest and leading manufacturer of electrical and communication cables who have also added electrical switches and Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) to its range of products.

 

MULTIBAGGER: IFCI SEES 60% UPSIDE IN FINOLEX CABLES, EXPECTS RE-RATING

 

October 1, 2012

 

NEW DELHI: Finolex Cables Limited (FCL), the manufacturer of electrical and telecommunication cables, is set to report $1bn revenue by FY15 on account of robust balance sheet as well as backward and steady improvement in other business segments, IFCI said in a report on Monday

.

IFCI Financial Services, a subsidiary of IFCI Limited, initiated coverage on the stock with a 'buy' rating and a target price of Rs 68 per share, translating into an upside of about 60% from the current levels.

 

IFCI expects the stock to get re-rated supported by robust fundamental factors and capital expenditure plans. "The stage is set for FCL to meet the incremental demand for the next four years, with the capex of Rs3.9 billion incurred at ten manufacturing facilities in the last five years," IFCI said in a report.

 

"Also, the company is realigning capacities and is likely to incur a capex of Rs800mn in FY13 and FY14, which will decrease tax expense and improve production efficiency," the report added.

 

The government's impetus towards infrastructure sector, growth visibility for the next couple of years remains buoyant. IFCI expects the throughput for electrical cables (82% of total revenue in FY12) to increase from 35,000MT to 45,000MT by FY15 and expects the company to report $1bn topline by FY15.

 

Another reason why IFCI thinks that Finolex scores above its peers is owning to its 'Superbrand' status, strong distribution network, and over 20,000 dealers spread across the country.

 

Improvement in other business segment:

FCL has invested Rs480.2 million and has 49 per cent share in JV with J-Power systems of Japan. The JV is operational since September 2011 and is likely to generate Rs5-6 billion of revenue for the JV company in the next five years, according to IFCI analysis.

 

In another marketing JV with Cornings of USA in which FCL has invested Rs0.5mn will market optic fiber to cable manufacturers in India. Normally, FCL sells only 10-20 per cent of copper produced and the balance being used for in house consumption.

 

IFCI expects steady improvement for communication cable and other segments (CFL and electrical switches segments) and estimates a growth of 2-10 per cent in FY13.

 

Key downside risks to the rally

IFCI is of the view that a spike in copper price, which accounts for nearly 65 per cent of the product price, likely to weigh on margins. However, Finolex Cables is buying raw materials in local currency without exposure to derivative contracts.

 

However, the company generally passes on increase in the product price to customers. Also, to mitigate the risk of time lag, FCL purchases copper on monthly average price.
