MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY

 

The year 2012-13 in India was in many ways that of a stagnant economy – low GDP growth, steadily low industrial output, high inflation, high interest rates, depreciated currency and conservative policy reforms. However, that can still be construed as good news on two fronts: (a) It did not decline much further beyond the FY2011-12 levels and (b) that sets a low statistical base for things looking to revive in FY2013-14.

 

The year saw the GDP growth decline to near-5% level, the headline CPI rate stayed above 10% for good part the year, IIP growth flattened and overall sentiments weak in the business society as well as among consumers. The conflicting challenges of managing large fiscal deficits while trying to boost economic growth have seen the government and the RBI looking to push for several reforms, though there is still some way to go before those reforms are effectively implemented.

 

Going forward, the expectation for FY2013-14 is that of gradual revival. While some elements of economic pressures would continue to persist, the larger picture points to an improvement over the past year. A major change though, either positive or negative, is seen as unlikely within a year, especially given that the general elections are scheduled for the next year. The year is expected to be characterized by a gradual revival in the industrial output, with stable activity in the agri-sector and services. Inflation is likely to ease gradually, but the trade-off in balancing between growth and inflation could see a cautious growth oriented monetary environment.

 

Some improvement can be expected in the CAD and the continued flows of foreign capital is expected to keep the Rupee largely stable in mid-fifties – assuming that geo-political tensions do not deteriorate and global economic conditions remain where they are, with the recovery process also being cautious. Overall, it is expected that growth will bottom in H1 2013 as domestic and foreign headwinds ease and that GDP growth could average between 5-5.5% this year before picking up to 7%+ in 2014. However, apart from the immediate sentiments being moderate for the next year or two, the long-term India growth story – built on the rising Indian middle-class that will be both younger and richer in the years to come – continues to remain extremely strong. This is visible in the unabated commitment of several large Indian and multi-national corporations to not only sustain but aggressively build position of strength in the Indian markets.

 

The company also strongly believes in the long-term India growth and consumption story and is taking calculated steps to create strong businesses that would see a major pivoting once an economic upturn comes around. During the current moderate growth phase however, the strategy is to follow a cautious growth approach that strengthens the businesses fundamentally while also exploiting the current value creation opportunities.

 

Indian Textile Industry

 

The Indian textile industry is one of the leading textile industries in the world, steadily improving in its capabilities and competitiveness vis-à-vis the other global economies. It chiefly consists of ginning, spinning, weaving and processing industries and plays a major role in the country’s economy. It contributes nearly 14% of the total industrial production of the country, nearly 4% percent to the country’s GDP and accounts for about 17% of its total foreign exchange earnings through textile exports. Further, it is also the second largest employer in the country, only after agriculture, currently employing more than 35 million Indians directly and almost twice as many through the allied industries.

 

The industry operates in several segments, including cotton textiles, silk textiles, woollen textiles, jute and coir, man-made textiles and readymade garments. The total Indian textile industry size, including readymade garments, was estimated to be Rs.4.9 lakh Crores (nearly USD 90 Bn) in 2012, projected to grow over the next 10 years at a CAGR of 9-10%, to reach Rs.10 lakh Crores (nearly USD 200 billion) by 2020. This constitutes of 65% domestic market and 35% exports and the mix is expected to largely remain the same given the balance of strong domestic consumption growth and increasing global competitiveness.

 

The industry saw low exports growth in 2012, due to weaker international demand partly compensated by a weak Indian Rupee. However, over the next 3-5 years, India’s share of global textile exports is poised to increase from current 4% to around 7%, driven by the improving competitiveness vis-à-vis other major exporters like China and Turkey.

 

The US and the EU nations account for almost two-thirds of India’s textile exports. The other major destinations are Bangladesh, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Saudi Arabia and UAE. In order to keep the textile industry competitive and world class, there is a periodic need for installing new machinery, adopting latest technology and improving availability of accessories. Overall, going forward, the exports market is expected to continue growing at 10% CAGR for the next decade.

 

The Technical Textiles Segment

 

Globally, the technical textiles segment is an immense opportunity, with the worldwide industry size estimated at USD 130 Bn. The size of this segment in India is currently pegged at Rs.70,000 Cr (nearly USD 13 Bn), contributing nearly 15% to the total domestic textile market. This segment is characterized by world-class manufacturing capabilities technology skill-sets and is expected to show strong growth in India.

 

Cotton

 

For the current cotton season (Oct’12 – Sep’13), the Cotton Advisory Board has estimated the domestic acreage at 11.600 Millions hectares leading to a production of 33.000 Millions bales, as against 35.300 Millions bales from 12.200 Millions hectares in 2011-12. This coupled with high exports demand for cotton as well as yarn and low opening stock of cotton is expected to put pressure on the price of domestic cotton and yarn.

 

Cotton yarn spread continues to remain high with robust demand in domestic as well as overseas market. Certain international trends in cotton have given a boost to cotton exports and making cotton fibre and yarn more expensive in the domestic market. Higher cotton prices in China have prompted the Chinese textile players to import yarn (3% duty on yarn import compared to 40% duty on cotton import based on decided quota).

 

Turkey has removed duty on Indian cotton yarn imports and Turkey being the gateway to Europe, would lead to increased exports of yarn from India. Also, with power shortage in Pakistan and Bangladesh, certain global demand is shifting to India. Provisional data as available with DGFT shows that the current cotton season registered a whopping 51% YoY (Oct-Feb) increase in registration of contract for export of cotton yarn. Exports of cotton bales was at all time high during last season and had also impacted closing stock which is lowest point compared to last four years’ stock.

 

Textile Outlook

 

In the mid-long term, the Indian textile industry is expected to grow strongly with growth being balanced from both domestic consumption as well as exports demand. In the near-term, domestic demand would depend on the macro-economic factors that are expected to gradually revive in FY2013-14. On exports front, there are both positive and negative factors. Positive factors include the weak currency and decreasing cost competitiveness of China that are likely to give positive impetus to the Indian exports. At the same time, factors like slowdown and uncertainty in the global markets, volatile foreign exchange rates and increase in cotton and yarn prices are likely to negatively affect growth and profitability for the textile exports.

 

The company is looking to take a cautious growth approach in the textiles business – protecting margins through moving into more premium and differentiated space, as well as operational measures like greater share of in-house spinning by leveraging the central and state government support on investments and gradual addition of capacities depending on demand upturn. For garmenting, the focus is on strategically increasing share of vertical business with the global as well as Indian brands, providing both enhanced business growth as well as demand security for the fabric manufacturing businesses. The company is also looking to tactically leverage Bangladesh for greater competitiveness in the global supply chain, through partnership routes. Lastly, the company is looking to place selective large bets in the technical textiles segment to create breakthrough growth opportunities for the future.

 

Indian Apparel Retail Market

 

The Indian consumption growth story needs no explanation. Despite the slow recent economic growth translating into weak consumer sentiments and demand trends, the larger story of growth of organized retail in India is expected to continue to gain momentum, with the additional boost of Ecommerce retailing (commonly known as E-tailing). The total size of India’s retail market is pegged at USD 490 Bn in 2012 (Source: Technopak), of which organized retail has a low share of ~7% at USD 34 Bn, while e-Tailing is currently a nascent model at ~0.1% or USD 0.6 Bn.

 

The overall retail market expected to grow at 10-12% over the next decade, with an expected market size of USD 1440 Bn by 2021 (source: Technopak). The more important trend though, is that while the share of organized retail in total retail has grown over the last 4-5 years from ~5% in 2007 to reach ~7% by 2012, it is expected that the combined growth of brick-and-mortal retailing and e-tailing is expected to take this share to ~20% by 2021.

 

That would translate into a compounded annual growth rate of over 25% over a decade!

 

Apparel as a category constitutes the largest share of organized retailing at ~30%, driven by factors like higher brand preference in apparel compared to categories like ‘Food and Grocery’ where fresh availability is a more primary consumer need. Apparel is also a category that is more promptly being adopted by the internet buyer, compared to other large retail categories. Hence both trends put together, apparel is expected to be a large part of the India organized retail opportunity in 2021, both in the brick and format as well as in e-tailing.

 

In the shorter term, organized apparel retail witnessed some impact of softened consumer sentiments during the last year, reflecting in slower like-to-like (LTL) sales growth in the apparel stores and the overall industry growth of 4-5% in value terms over FY12-13. However, the gradual revival expected in the economy in FY13-14, along with some major policy reforms in this sector, will facilitate improved profitability of the existing brands as well as promote entry of new brands that will further expand the market. Three specific drivers of recovery in apparel demand in FY13-14 include (a) Restoration of zero excise duty on readymade garments and made ups announced in the Union Budget 2013-14 (b) Faster clearance of investment proposal of foreign branded retail and (c) Expected revival in the overall economy in FY13-14 that will open up the unspent demand for apparels.

 

Across the various apparel segments, menswear will continue to be the largest segment, contributing to ~35% of the total apparel market, while kidswear is expected to grow faster due to new brand offerings in this hitherto unexploited market segment.

 

The company operates in the branded apparel space through a diverse portfolio of owned and licensed international brands that have seen strong growth momentum in the past. The strategy has been to create several large and high-growth ‘Power brands’ (like Arrow, US Polo, Tommy Hilfiger and Flying Machine) and The company has seen with experience that these brands start to yield very healthy bottomlines and returns once they reach a critical size. With many other strong growth brands in the portfolio (including those acquired recently) like Gant, Nautica, Elle, Billabong, Ed Hardy, Hanes and Wonderbra, the Arvind approach would be to gradually make these brands the next set of ‘Power brands’, providing significant topline growth as well as healthy bottomlines. While menswear market, being the largest and most attractive branded apparel space, would continue to be dominant in the Arvind portfolio, other important and attractive segments like women, kids and innerwear are also being emphasized to grow their share of the business portfolio and align it with the market growth trends.

 

The company operates in the retail space through its MegaMart brand of stores that have undergone a major transformation in business model over the last year to be repositioned as a value format and the strategy has also started to deliver the expected results in terms of improved profitability. The company has also launched its own brand of ‘Arvind Stores’ to target the attractive domestic market for fabric retail and custom clothing. With continued improvements in the existing formats and the addition of specialty store formats like Debenhams and Next, Arvind will be looking to become a leading apparel retail player in India and also strive to bring newer formats to the Indian consumer and offer them differentiated products and retail experience.

 

RESULT REVIEW

 

The macroeconomic environment posed many challenges for the company during the year. On domestic front, stagnant economy, high inflation and higher interest rates dampened the consumer sentiments. On global from Euro zone continued to be in turmoil. On the top of challenging macroeconomic scenario, Their company witnessed unprecedented event of strike at its Naroda plant in the month of June 2012 leading to loss of production. It is heartening to note that despite such a challenging environment, Their Company has closed the financial year 2012-13 with 8% growth in sales and 7% growth in Operating Earnings before Interest Depreciation and Taxes. (Operating EBITDA). PAT (excluding Exceptional Income) has shown a growth of 11% compared to the previous year.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Denim

 

The performance of Denim Division was impacted on account of Strike by the workmen. Due to Strike, there was a loss of Production of 4.3 Mn Mtrs which resulted into 7% reduction in volume for the year. It is highly satisfying to note that Denim Division could maintain profitability despite there being addition in Denim Capacities by about 250 Mn Mtrs in India which made the markets highly competitive. Denim Business continues with its strategy of improving Product and Customer Mix so as to achieve higher Contribution per meter.

 

Woven Fabrics

 

During the Year, Company expanded the Capacity of Woven Fabrics by 12 Mn Mtrs. On account of this expansion, the Woven Business has seen growth of 28% in volume and 29% in revenue. It is heartening to note that there is significant increase in businesses with the large global as well as local customers like GAP, Levis etc. Further, the Operational Excellence Drive to improve the productivity has resulted into higher Operating Margins for Woven business.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company is witnessing strong demand in the international markets especially for Wovens. However domestic retail market is sluggish which is likely to keep growth in the Brands and Retail business slow. The sluggish retail demand may affect the growth of MegaMart. At the same time the brands like Arrow, US Polo and Tommy Hilfiger continue to show lot of promise for growth. The newer brands added during the last year are also expected to grow strongly, though on a smaller base, and would provide additional growth to the business.

 

Under the above scenario, the Company is expecting overall revenue growth of over 20% for FY2013-14, on account of volume growth in both Textiles and Brands and Retail. The Textiles business may achieve growth in the 12-15% range, whereas Brands and Retail business is expected to grow strongly at 25%+.

 

The company expects that the overall margins for the coming year will be maintained. Margins for the Textiles businesses may improve marginally due to improved pricing and greater scale and operational efficiency, while margins for the Brands and Retail businesses may fall slightly due to higher investments in marketing and distribution for the newly acquired brands.

 

The Strategic Help Alliance for Relief to Distressed Area (SHARDA) Trust and Narottam Lalbhai Rural Development Fund (NLRDF) are the company’s arms for carrying out the CSR Programmes. SHARDA and NLRDF have been active in improving the quality of life of the urban poor and rural poor. During 2012-13, a definitive step has been taken by launching a study for collecting information of the workforce and their family members to design programmes for them.

 

SHARDA Trust’s Programmes

 

Arvind Ltd. established SHARDA (Strategic Help Alliance for Relief to Distressed Areas) Trust in 1995 with a purpose of helping the urban poor by upgrading their quality of life. Besides improving infrastructure facilities in distressed areas, providing healthcare facilities and helping the people upgrade their skills to get well paying jobs, SHARDA trust is now focussing on providing quality education to students studying in Municipal Schools since 2006. These educational facilities are being provided by means of an association with local Government, the Ahmedabad Municipal School Board.

 

SHARDA Trust is working with about 1000 students from class V-XII through ‘Gyanda Education Programme’. Education programme includes organised academic support as well as grooming students on social, cultural and personal aspects. Year 2012-13 was especially important for Trust as the first batch is completing class XII. These students will now be going for higher and professional education and subsequently start earning which will ensure that it is the last generation in poverty for them, a cherished dream that the Trust and the students have shared together. Most encouraging incidents are of those few parents whose one child (all girls) is studying with us in Municipal School and the other child (all boys) is in private school. After noticing the progress of their girls, the parents decided to withdraw their children from private school and got them admitted in Municipal School to be part of Gyanda Education programme. They consider this as huge recognition of Trust’s efforts for bringing a small but strong social change. Gyanda’s total enrolment is poised to reach about 1500 students by 2015-16 as Their conversion from primary to secondary has improved. The Trust does plans to initiate new Gyanda Centres.

 

Beside school education, Trust conducted Basic Computer Familiarization Programme for 250 children, housewives, working women and working and non-working men. In addition, about 100 youth were trained for Basic English Programme. The Trust organised two ‘Yoga Shibirs’ for the wellbeing of people in community around Their Naroda premises during 2012-13. This was conducted by Swami Adhyatmanandji of the Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad. Both the camps were attended by about 300 people in each camp.

 

Towards end of 2012, the Trust initiated ambitious plan to collect comprehensive information about Arvind’s workers and their family members related to education, health, housing and contact information and thereby plan welfare and capacity building initiatives to enhance quality of life. For doing so, a Workers’ Information System was designed with provisions for generating intended reports. All the information was collected online. As of March 2013, first set of study with over 7000 workers has been completed in Ahmedabad region and based on the findings suggested initiatives were presented to the top management. 2013-14 will witness initiation of activities in Ahmedabad region and expanding the scope of study to Santej and Bangalore regions to cover complete workforce.

 

These activities and programmes have opened up avenues for expansion of the Trust’s initiatives and for undertaking newer initiatives.

 

NLRDF’s Programmes

 

Established in 1978 as Public Charitable Trust, NLRDF is the rural CSR arm of Arvind Limited. NLRDF directly intervenes at the village level with the strategy of linking the government programmes with the rural poor and thereby increasing the efficiency and the effectiveness of the delivery process.

 

The year mainly witnessed programmes for skill upgrading for livelihood promotion, economic empowerment of widows and programme for HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention.

 

Specifically, 75 youngsters from BPL families received training for mason work and tool kit for same was given to them to ensure earnings. NLRDF trained 144 Female Sex Workers and their family members in different skill up-gradation initiatives. Out of which, 111 women received a two months training for Cutting and Tailoring. They got sewing machines at token cost to ensure earnings. Other 33 women were trained for applying Mehandi.

 

NLRDF’s entrepreneurship programmes for widows have its operations in 20 districts of Gujarat. It has trained about 11000 widows in last 6 years.

 

During 2012-13, more than 3000 widows were trained. Each one of them received a kit of their choice worth about Rs.5000 for their livelihood. Newly acquired confidence to step out of their houses which they could not think of earlier is the noticeable outcome from this programme. Few selected needy and working widow entrepreneurs are being financially supported for the expansion of their current business.

 

Another programme worth mentioning is on HIV/AIDs control. Intervention includes providing services like Behaviour Change Communication, Counseling, STD treatment and creating enabling environment and referral and linkages to core population. This has brought significant change in their practice and behaviour. A workshop on ‘Awareness on HIV/AIDS-prevention and control’ was also organized for industrial workers in Ahmedabad which was attended by about 500 people.

 

Under Mamta Taruni Programme, 860 non-school going adolescent girls from 18 villages were identified. They are trained for nutrition awareness, personal hygiene, health care etc. A state level programme on the occasion of International Women Day 2013 was celebrated on 8th March 2013 at Khedbrahma. Around 2500 women from surrounding villages participated in this one day event and experts shared with them information on their legal rights, education etc.

 

Subject, through SHARDA and NLRDF aspires to help the poor in urban and rural settings through its programmes and believes that programmes of social renewal with a business approach will bring lasting change in society.
