COMPANY OVERVIEW:
Subject (‘Blue
Star’, ‘BSIL’ or the ‘Company’) along with its wholly owned and controlled
subsidiaries, Blue Star Infotech America, Inc., Blue Star Infotech (UK) Limited
and Blue Star Infotech (Singapore) Pte. Limited is an Information technology
and software services organization. The Company provides technology,
consultancy and outsourcing services.
OPERATING RESULTS AND BUSINESS:
During the year,
total income of the Company was Rs. 1080.000 Millions from Rs. 1100.000
Millions, i.e.; a decline of 2%. On a consolidated basis, total income
increased by 4% to Rs. 1340.000 Millions from Rs. 1290.000 Millions. The global
economic scenario continued to be subdued for IT companies as well as other
industries for a large part of FY 11-12. Exchange rate volatility was witnessed
in the latter half of the financial year. Despite unchanged sales volumes, the
company witnessed pressure on its operating costs. This was despite a prudent
hedging of foreign currency thereby minimizing foreign currency exchange
losses, tight control over costs and continued insistence on higher manpower
productivity and other operational efficiencies. The net profit after tax on a
consolidated basis for the year ended March 31, 2012 was Rs. 35.700 Millions as
compared to Rs. 84.000 Millions for the last financial year.
SUBSIDIARY
COMPANIES AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
A) BLUE STAR INFOTECH AMERICA, INC.
A 100% wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, Blue Star Infotech America, Inc. posted a
total income of US$ 13,002,875 (equivalent of Rs. 654.400 Millions) for the
financial year ending March 31, 2012 as compared to US$ 13,617,635 (equivalent
of Rs. 620.600 Millions) for the previous year. The Company reported a net loss
of US$ 413,674 (equivalent of Rs. 20.700 Millions) this year compared to net
loss of US$ 168,575 (equivalent of Rs. 7.500 Millions) for the previous year.
As at the year
end, there was further erosion in the net worth of Blue Star Infotech America
Inc. which is reflected as erosion in the net worth of the subsidiary. The
company infused further capital of US $ 1 Million (Rs. 50.100 Millions) during
the year in the subsidiary. The management is of the view that the business
loss is a temporary phenomenon arising in unstable market conditions. As
business volumes increase and economic growth gets recouped, the company is
expected to see a turnaround in profitability. As a result, no impairment of
the investment in the subsidiary is considered necessary.
B) BLUE STAR INFOTECH (UK) LIMITED
The total income
of this wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was £ 2,760,596 (equivalent of
Rs. 220.000 Millions) for the financial year ending March 31, 2012 as compared
to £ 3,298,601 (equivalent of Rs. 233.500 Millions) for the previous year. It
registered a net profit of £ 13,807 (equivalent of Rs. 01.100 Millions) for the
financial year ending on March 31, 2012 compared to net profit of £ 97,082
(equivalent of Rs. 07.000 Millions) for the previous year.
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:
The financial statements
have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act,
1956, and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India. The
management of BSIL accepts responsibility for the integrity and objectivity of
these financial statements, as well as for various estimates and judgments used
therein. The estimates and judgments relating to the financial statements have
been made on a prudent and reasonable basis, in order that the financial
statements reflect, in a true and fair manner, the form and substance of
transactions, and reasonably present the Company’s state of affairs and profits
for the year.
IT INDUSTRY
SCENARIO:
According to the
NASSCOM Strategic Review 2012 report, the Indian IT-BPO industry today stands at
an inflection point in its evolution. It achieved a significant milestone when
it crossed the USD 100 billion mark this year compared to USD 8 billion in
2000. Within exports, IT Services segment grew at 19 per cent over fiscal 2011
with revenue of over USD 40 billion. Gartner, the global research firm,
estimates a 3.1% growth in IT services for 2012, which is much lower than last
year’s 6.9% increase. According to NASSCOM, Indian IT-BPO services exports are
expected to grow by 11-14%. Faced with the ‘more’ from ‘less’ buying mantra,
vendors are facing tremendous pressure to reshape their offerings. Cloud
computing, analytics, mobility and other emerging technologies are expected to
drive future growth of software services. India’s Offshored Software Product
Development (OSPD) exports crossed the billion dollar mark in 2011. Despite its
small base, the OSPD market has consistently experienced double digit growth
rates over the last 5 years. Recessionary effects have resulted in the software
product market facing multiple challenges - constantly changing customer
demands, margin pressures and price-sensitivity of emerging markets. To counter
rising competition, product firms have to focus on accelerated time-to-market,
rapid adoption of emerging and disrupting technologies, and more frequent
product enhancements - all of these are fuelling growth within the OSPD
segment. Domestic IT-BPO revenue (excluding hardware) is expected to grow at
almost 17 per cent to reach Rs. 91800.000 Millions (approximately USD 1.8
billion) in 2012. Strong economic growth, rapid advancement in technology
infrastructure, increasingly competitive Indian organizations, and enhanced
government focus are key drivers for increased technology adoption in India. IT
Services, one of the fastest growing segments in the Indian domestic market,
grew by 18 per cent to reach Rs. 58900.000 Millions (approximately USD 1.2
billion). This growth was driven by increasing adoption from all customer
segments. This segment is expected to grow by 13-16% in 2012.
CHANGING BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT:
The IT Industry is
facing major challenges and opportunities, and currently undergoing a
metamorphosis. Protectionist policies arising out of a highly weakened economic
environment, stringent visa regulations, intense competition amongst vendors,
and emergence of other low cost destinations are challenging the current
business models. Further, with the end of the tax holiday, application of MAT
on SEZs and spiraling inflation, the industry has to literally reinvent itself
in order to remain relevant and continue to provide the returns expected. The
past year also saw an increased preference for onshore locations and other
lower cost centres, primarily to tap into the local talent, as well as to
provide customers with more options and stronger capabilities. The next decade
is expected to be vastly different from the previous one, in which business
models will undergo transformation and new models will emerge. The labor
arbitrage may not be sustainable beyond a few more years. The business model of
the future will be driven by the need to change the profit per employee
equation and increasingly bring in “non-linearity”. Building capabilities in
new technologies like smart computing, cloud computing, mobility and analytics,
and investing in the creation of delivery accelerators and IP will enable
vendors to rapidly deliver business-impacting solutions and value to their
clients. To remain competitive and profitable, organizations must increase
operational efficiencies, and reinvent and embrace new business models which
will offer customers a transformed business proposition.
BLUE STAR INFOTECH LIMITED (BSIL) - RE-ENGINEERING
ITSELF:
The Company is
re-engineering itself to remain relevant to its stakeholders and competitive in
the marketplace. Keeping in mind the changing market dynamics of the IT
industry and with the client at the core, the Company focused on laying out a
roadmap for its future that involved redesigning its business model and
upgrading its value proposition and capabilities.
The key areas that the Company is attempting to
address over the next few years are:
• Demonstrating
value to its customers over a longer term horizon
• Attracting
talent as an employer of choice
• Developing value
for its partners to build beneficial global alliances
• Ensuring that it is a growing and profitable organization for our
shareholders
OUTLOOK:
The business
environment in 2012-13 is expected to remain challenging and unpredictable for
mid-sized IT service companies. The Company’s increased agility for making
course corrections and redirect itself will also enable it to capitalize on new
opportunities and enable its customers to effectively deal with the changing
dynamics of a globally sensitive environment. The Company is looking at a three
year horizon, and is confident that the multi-dimensional transformation that
it has embarked upon will enable it to overcome these challenges and drive
long-term sustainable growth.
