OPERATIONS AND PERFORMANCE

 

During the year, the company recorded a turnover of Rs. 1704.609 millions and Loss of Rs 324.932 millions as against the last year turnover of Rs. 1127.524 millions and PBT of Rs. 40.512 millions. The key reasons for the loss during the current year comprise of steep increase in all construction material costs and labour costs. Severe shortage of construction labour had led to unprecedented increase in good quality manpower costs. The interest costs also climbed up due to increase in the cost of borrowed funds from bankers.

 

The company participated in several tenders during the year across various industrial, commercial and residential segments. The company quoted tenders for a value of approx. Rs. 31844.500 millions during the year and won work orders worth Rs. 2580.000 millions. This year saw the company taking high value orders in the range of Rs. 300.000 millions to Rs. 400.000 millions.

 

On the Property Development front, the company reported a turnover of Rs 186.191 millions as against Rs. 116.157 millions reported last year. The company’s residential projects are progressing well.

The company during the year has acquired operational Plant and Machinery and other Fixed Assets amounting to Rs. 77.600 millions.

 

REVIEW OF BUSINESS OF COROMANDEL ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED

 

The civil contract segment saw reasonable performance on the sales front with many new projects getting into their fold. However, the financial results for the contract segment was severely affected due to spiraling costs of input materials and labour.

 

The company had won many orders under stiff competitive conditions, which meant a lower margin on the estimates front. Unfortunately, during the year, the cost of most of the input construction materials like sand, aggregate, bulk materials, bricks, blocks etc went up by over 30-40% which was unprecedented.

 

Their cost estimates on these items were grossly lower compared to actuals. This apart, the cost of labour in terms of masons, helpers, carpenters, electricians, mechanics etc went up substantially during the year due to severe shortage. With more and more construction labour moving out to other disciplines where the nature of work is much easier and the absorption of construction labour going up due to mega projects like Metro rail etc., the availability of labour became very scarce. This pushed up the cost of labour by over 50-60% during the year.

 

Since most of the orders were won on firm and fixed basis, the company’s ability to pass through such cost increase was extremely limited. The company had to honour the contractual commitments to the clients and hence, the financial performance reflected a loss during the year.

 

On the residential segment, in spite of the input cost increase, the company could manage to report reasonable sales and profits. Since the overall value of sales in residential projects is less compared to the civil contracts segment, the benefit in this segment could not offset the loss arising from civil construction.
