Comments :

Subject is a part of “Essar Group”. It is a well established company having a moderate track record. There appears huge loss recorded by the company during 2013. The external borrowing seems to be huge which act as a threat to the liquidity position.

 

However, trade relations are reported to be fair. Business is active. Payments are reported to be slow.

 

The company can be considered for business dealing with great caution.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS :

 

Energy is essential for economic growth and in the absence of viable alternatives in the foreseeable future; demand for petroleum products is expected to rise.

 

In the past few years, we have observed the progressive shift in oil demand away from OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries towards non-OECD countries led by Asian countries. As per IEA, OECD oil demand has remained more or less stagnant at 45.5 million barrels/day since 2009, whereas non-OECD demand has risen from 40 mbd in 2009 to 43 mbd in 2011 and could touch 45 mbd in 2012. During 2013, it is expected that non-OECD oil demand will overtake OECD demand led by strong demand growth of petroleum products from Chinese, Middle Eastern and Indian economies.

 

On the supply side, OECD has been registering steady growth with increase in Canadian and US production. To build up global stocks and guard against supply constraints arising from sanctions on Iran, Saudi Arabia has increased crude oil production substantially. Libyan crude oil production registered a smart recovery after exit of the Gaddafi regime. Iraq has also been witnessing impressive growth in oil production. The sustainable spare capacity is estimated at 2.3 mbd after excluding the countries like Iraq, Iran, Libya and Nigeria which are experiencing political instability. OPEC NGLs (Natural Gas Liquid) are also growing at an impressive rate. The increases have ensured adequate supply of oil in global markets inspite of loss of Sudanese production due to the creation of South Sudan and the declining supplies from Iran due to the tightening of sanctions.

 

The Refining sector in the world is going through tumultuous times and large scale closures are being witnessed. As per BOA-ML report dated June 13, 2012, during the last year, over 0.9 mbd of refining capacity had closed in Europe and the East Coast of USA. These closures have resulted in a tightening of the product supply balance resulting in improving refining margins. The light and heavy crude oil differentials have begun to show some widening from the narrow differentials witnessed in 2009/2010. Hence, going forward, complex refineries should be able to take advantage of cheaper crude oil to improve their margins. The refining sector is facing large fluctuations in the oil price, arising from geo-political uncertainties.

 

Markets have observed shifting trends in product usages wherein naphtha and fuel oil are being replaced by cheaper natural gas for petrochemical and fertilizer feedstock and for heating usage. Further, tightening sulphur limit in marine fuels reduced the demand for fuel oil. However, 2011-12 saw rather unusual high demand for high sulphur fuel oil from Japan for power generation due to forced closure of nuclear power reactors in Japan. Similarly, diesel engines being more efficient than petrol engines, the governments across globe including India have been using tax structure to encourage more use of diesel. This has resulted in increasing demand for middle distillates, compared to light distillates. The complex Indian refineries are better positioned to adapt to the changing trends in product usage.

 

The fragile economic recovery, sovereign debt crisis of Eurozone and recurring differences in ways to resolve the crisis continued to weigh on the global economic sentiment. The global energy markets witnessed some major events during last year – the annual average oil prices recorded historic highs; the political events in the Middle East and North African region led to production disruptions highlighting the instability in oil producing countries; the disastrous impact of the combined earth quake and tsunami leading to a nuclear incident in Fukushima and closure of all nuclear plants. Consequently, Japan has witnessed a reversal in its hitherto falling hydrocarbon demand trend. The shale gas developments in the US have proved to be a silver lining on the supply side of the energy markets.

 

Going forward, the refining margin is expected to remain strong with some degree of fluctuation due to volatility inherent to international oil prices. The rationale for the strong refining margins is global oil demand growth of 1 mmb/d which is close to normal, resilience of the Asian and Middle East economies in the face of decline in Europe, refinery closures in the west particularly of low complexity factor and global thrust for cleaner fuels. Also the backwardation in the market is not encouraging large scale storage of products which will help support the refining margins.

 

 

FINANCIAL RESULTS :

 

This financial year has been a year of significant importance since the refinery was able to increase its capacity from 10.5 MMTPA to 18 MMTPA with improved complexity from 6.1 to 11.8. Subsequent to financial year ending March 31, 2012, the Company has added another 2 MMTPA capacity by undertaking certain optimization activities taking the total refining capacity to 20 MMTPA. During the year, the Company recorded a strong revenue growth of 19% at Rs.634280.000 Millions, up fromRs.53,192 Millions in the previous financial year before reversal of sales tax benefit. This growth is primarily driven by increased product prices, partly offset by reduction in the sales quantity on account of the planned refinery shut down undertaken during September-October 2011 for tie-in of new units to expand the refining capacity to 18 MMTPA and to carry out routine maintenance activities. The Current Price Gross Refinery Margin (CP GRM) (excluding sales tax benefit) for the refinery business is US$4.23 per barrel compared to US$4.53 per barrel for the previous financial year. The EBIDTA for the current financial year has decreased to Rs. 21010.000 Millions from Rs. 27790.000 Millions for last financial year. This is mainly on account of decrease in refinery throughput due to the planned shutdown, decline in gross refinery margin, MTM provision for forex losses, shutdown expenditures and reduction in income on account of non defeasement of sales tax incentive post passing of order of Hon’ble Supreme Court. For the financial year ended March 31, 2012, the loss before and after tax is due to lower EBIDTA as explained above, exceptional items on account of reversal of assignment income arising out of defeasement of sales tax incentive benefits of Rs. 7780.000 Millions for the period from April 2011 to December 2011 subsequent to the Honible Supreme Court order dated January 17, 2012 denying the Gujarat Sales tax incentive benefit to the Company, creation of provision of sales tax interest of Rs. 830.000 Millions for the period from January 17, 2012 to March 31, 2012 and creation of a provision of Rs. 3760.000 Millions in accordance with Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Exit proposal approved by CDR Core Group. The Company reported negative PAT (after exceptional items) for current financial year at Rs. (12850.000) Millions as against previous year figure of Rs. (2520.000) Millions.

 

During the financial year, the Company has modified the terms of the outstanding Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds aggregating to US$262 million making them compulsorily convertible into equity shares or Global Depository Shares. The Bonds were originally convertible at the option of the Bond holders.

 

Due to absence of profits during the financial year, the Board has not recommended any dividend for the year. Information on the operational performance, etc. of the Company for the financial year is given in the Management Discussion and Analysis which is annexed to the Directors’ Report.

 

A statement containing salient features of the audited Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2012, Statement of Profit and Loss and Cash flow Statement for the year ending on that date and Auditors Report on the Abridged Financial Statements along with Auditors Report on the full financial statements forms part of the

Annual Report.

 

With reopening of accounts of proceeding three financial years, as explained in subsequent paras, the financial statements for financial year 2011-12 approved by the Board of Directors on May 12, 2012 have consequently been revised and approved by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2012.

Mumbai: Essar Oil, India's second largest private refiner and part of UK-listed Essar Energy plc, today reported strong results for the quarter and the year ended March 31, 2013. 

Gross revenues for the January-March 2013 quarter (Q4FY13) stood at Rs 257570.000 Millions, up 34% over Rs 191600.000 Millions reported in Q4FY12; EBITDA was up 254% at Rs 15560.000 Millions compared to Rs 4390.000 Millions in Q4 FY12. Profit After Tax for the quarter was at Rs 2000.000 Millions versus a loss of Rs 6080.000 Millions in the same period last year. Current Price Gross Refining Margin of $9.06/bbl for Q4FY13 was almost double of $4.60/bbl reported in Q4FY12, reflecting the higher complexity benefits post completion of expansion and optimization projects.

During the quarter, Vadinar Refinery processed 5.08 MMT of crude, up 26% over Q4FY12. The refinery continues to function at over its nameplate capacity of 20 MMTPA with all units stabilized.

Share of Ultra Heavy Crude in refinery's crude diet rose to 62% from 24% in the corresponding quarter in FY12. Overall, the refinery processed 88% of heavy and ultra heavy crude in Q4FY13. Production of valuable Middle and Light distillates improved to 84% of the refinery's product slate from 69% over the same period last year.

For the full financial year ended March 31, 2013 (FY13), gross revenue was up 53% at Rs 967970.000 Millions compared with Rs 633400.000 Millions in FY12. EBITDA for full year was up over three times at Rs 36510.000 Millions compared to Rs 11670.000 Millions in FY12. The Current Price Gross Refining Margin for the year was $7.96/bbl against $4.23 per barrel in FY12.

Talking on the results, Mr. L.K. Gupta, Managing Director and CEO, Essar Oil, said: "We had a very eventful year in FY13 during which we have achieved a number of milestones. Our Vadinar Refinery, at 20 MMTPA capacity and 11.8 complexity is India's second largest single site refinery and amongst the most complex globally, set up at a very competitive capex of approx Rs 24,000 Millions, whose replacement cost today is between 1.75-2 times that figure. The refinery has demonstrated excellent operating performance with a very strong focus on safety and has consistently outperformed the benchmark IEA margins, as was targeted."


Mr. Suresh Jain, CFO, Essar Oil said, "Benefit of expanded capacity and complexity was available for only three quarters of the year and the performance of the refinery post completion of expansion has been consistent. Our primary focus is now to align our asset liability mismatch by dollarizing our debt, which will also lower our interest cost, and in turn improve our free cash flows significantly."

Company has re-entered the bulk diesel market, which recently was deregulated.

Essar Oil has over 1,400 retail outlets across the nation, with another 200 more in various stages of commissioning. The recent move of government towards full deregulation of auto fuels will create great value for our retail business.
