PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

The Company has posted gross sales of Rs.26057.000 millions for the financial year 2011-12 (previous year Rs.19443.000 millions), a 34% growth over the previous financial year. The net sales for the year ended March 31, 2012 grew by 34% at Rs.236740.000 million (previous year Rs.17611.000 millions). The export sales improved from Rs.834.000 millions in 2010-11 to Rs.1170.000 millions in 2011-12 - 40% growth.

 

The operating profit (Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation, Tax and Amortisation-EBIDTA) for the year stood at Rs.3580.000 millions (previous year Rs.2588.000 millions) representing 15.12% of net sales. The Profit Before Tax (PBT) and Profit After Tax (PAT) for the financial year ended March 31, 2012 was at Rs.3186.000 millions and Rs.2151.000 millions as against Rs.2204.000 millions and Rs.1481.000 millions of the previous financial year respectively. The profit after tax has registered an impressive 45% growth. The financial year 2011- 12 was a significant year in terms of highest ever turnover and profit in the history of the Company.

 

 

INDUSTRIAL BATTERY BUSINESS

 

The Company’s Industrial Battery business registered 14% volume growth over the previous financial year amidst

Challenging and competitive market conditions. During the financial year 2011-12, the telecom sector witnessed significant slowdown in network expansion and up-gradation plans. Lack of growth in 3G business and delay in roll out of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks also affected the growth in telecom business. Despite these challenges, the Company increased the volume and market share by virtue of its “preferred  supplier status” with all major customers, backed by timely supplies; efficient after sales service; customer relationship management and product performance of both Powerstack® and Amaron VoltTM batteries.

 

During the year under review, the Company has capitalised on the growing demand for UPS batteries in India. The continuous demand for Quanta® batteries and better price realisation from various customers in the UPS sector contributed significantly for the improved performance in the Industrial Battery business. The Company continues to retain dominant market share in UPS battery business. During the year, the distribution channel (AQuA) of Quanta® batteries has been expanded from 75 to 100 dealers to augment sales in UPS battery replacement market.

 

Exports in the Industrial battery business have been growing significantly in the last couple of years aided by surge in demand through the expansion of Bharti Airtel’s network in Africa. The Company has also made significant inroads into Bangladesh and Srilanka.

 

While the Company is focusing on strengthening the businesses in the sectors in which it currently operates, it is also exploring new opportunities in emerging areas viz., renewable energy and power control sectors, to ensure that the leadership position in the Industrial Battery business is sustained. The Company is investing a sum of Rs.1900 million on the capacity enhancement in the medium VRLA product line during the next 12-16 months to meet the growing needs and also to sustain the growth momentum.

 

 

AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY BUSINESS

 

The Company’s Automotive Battery business witnessed significant volume growth of 19% and 26% in 4-wheeler and 2- wheeler batteries respectively, over the previous financial year. During the period under review, the Company clocked a healthy double digit volume growth in automotive OEM business, despite muted automobile production in the Country due to adverse macro-economic conditions. The Aftermarket business saw substantial volume growth in 4-wheeler and 2-wheeler due to strong demand for Amaron® and PowerZoneTM batteries from

the customers. The aggressive advertisement campaigns and effective promotional activities for brand Amaron® and the launch of Amaron® and PowerZoneTM branded tubular inverter batteries and Home UPS under private label program has helped the Company to increase volume and market share.

 

During the year, the Company has expanded the Amaron® channel with the addition of 34 franchisees and initiated various activities around the channel to enhance the number of active retailers among the 18,000 retailers in Amaron®channel. The number of retail partners in PowerZone™ channel has increased to 900 in semi-urban and rural locations across the country.

 

The export business continues to grow in the Middle East with enrollment of more distributors. The Amaron® brand is well accepted in various countries across the Indian Ocean Rim, built through focused effort over the years.

 

In a short span of 4 years, the first ever VRLA motorcycle battery in India (Amaron Pro Bike Rider™) carved out an impressive share of about 24% of 2-wheeler organised replacement battery market. With the introduction of PowerZone™ branded batteries in the two wheeler segment, the Company is confident of garnering more volumes in the replacement market. The Company is well on course towards bagging the first few bulk orders from two wheeler original equipment manufacturers.

 

During the year, the 4-wheeler and 2-wheeler battery capacities were enhanced to 5.60 million units per annum and 4.80 million units per annum respectively to cater to the growing demand for the Company’s products. The 4-wheeler battery capacity will be enhanced further to 6.00 million units per annum during 2013- 14 to meet the capacity requirement of financial year 2013-14.

 

 

FINANCIAL POSITION

 

The Company’s financial position has vastly improved over the years. The net worth as at March 31, 2012 improved to Rs.8235.000 millions with the addition of Rs.1776.000 millions to the reserves during the year. During the financial year 2011-12, the Company has repaid in full the balance of term loan availed from BNP Paribas (ECB) and as at March 31, 2012 there are no interesting bearing debts in the books.

 

The debt to equity ratio as at March 31, 2012 stands at 0.10 times, without adjusting for cash and bank balances of Rs.2292.000 millions. The Company has parked the surplus funds in fixed deposits with reputed banks to ensure utmost safety, liquidity and return. The Company is confident of funding the recently announced capacity expansion at a strategic second location through the surplus cash and internal accruals. During the year, CRISIL reaffirmed the ratings for bank loan facilities for long-term at “CRISIL AA/stable” and for short-term at “CRISIL A1+.”

 

During the year, the gross fixed assets including capital work in progress increased by Rs.765.000 millions and are at Rs.6528.000 millions (previous year – Rs.5763.000 millions). The entire additions were funded through internal accruals.

The Automotive battery business reported strong double digit growth both in volumes and revenue despite depressed OE demand and capacity constraints in automotive 4W batteries during the quarter. The strong growth in volumes of 4-wheeler and 2-wheeler batteries was supported by focused action around the brand, channel and customer relationship. The consumer preference for brand Amaron® and PowerZone™ continues to provide market share gain in aftermarket due to its product offering coupled with endurance and quality. With aftermarket demand expected to pick up in FY14, the Company expects to grow above the industry average in the near future. The Company is all set to commence supply of 2W batteries to OEMs in couple of months. The pan-India consumer response to Amaron® and PowerZone™ branded Home UPS products has been very promising and this business will aid in revenue and profit growth of the Company in the years to come.


The Industrial battery business has reported double digit revenue growth enabled by improved demand from telecom market and reasonable volume growth both in telecom and UPS segments. The Company could not fully capitalize on the growing demand and preference for its telecom (PowerStack™) and UPS (Quanta™) batteries for want of capacity. The Company continues to enjoy preferred supplier status with telecom and UPS customers and would further fortify this position by providing end-to-end solutions and leveraging its reach through partners in the business. The MVRLA Capacity expansion is progressing as per schedule and is confident of meeting the growing demand from the new plant effective Q3 of the next financial year. The Company has secured consent of the board to expand Large VRLA product line capacity to cater to growing demand in telecom in the near future and to exploit export opportunities in the long run.


Commenting on the Q3 performance, Mr. Jayadev Galla, Managing Director, Amara Raja Batteries Limited said, “I am happy to report double digit growth both in top-line and bottom-line despite slack demand from OE customers in automotive segment, supply challenges for want of capacities in all product lines except 2W batteries, and cost escalations. The Company is keeping a close watch on cost increases due to power shortage, power tariff hike, rising commodity and fuel prices, and volatility in currency markets. The Company is confident of its growth prospects and hence continues to invest on capacities and products to support market leading growth in the medium and long term”


Mr. Ravi Bhamidipati, Executive Director, Amara Raja Batteries Limited said, “ To capitalize on the growth opportunities ahead of us, we decided to invest Rs.4.40 billion to augment capacities in Large VRLA and automotive 4-wheeler product lines over a period of 16 to 18 months. This investment is in addition to already approved capital investment of Rs.3.04 billion to expand capacities in Medium VRLA, automotive 4-wheeler and automotive 2-wheeler product lines.”


Commenting on the Q3 performance, Mr. K.Suresh, Chief Financial Officer, said, “We continue to enjoy debt free status with free cash of over Rs.3.50 billion as on December 31, 2012. The capacity expansion programs undertaken in the last 12 months are progressing as per schedule. The market capitalization of the Company touched Rs.50 billion aided by stellar performance during the last 6 quarters and growing confidence of investors”
