INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The year has been a challenging one for the Company not only because of the events around the world over which the Company has little control but also because of severe overcapacity in the domestic market in India. The domestic overcapacity led to fare wars in the domestic business with nearly all airlines selling seats below cost. This led to severe losses for the Industry as a whole. For the year ended 31st March 2012, the domestic airline industry is estimated to have lost over Rs.120000.000 millions.

 

There were other major events across the world which impacted the business:

 

a) Slowdown in other economies which led to a drop in yields in international markets

b) The weakening of the Indian Rupee vis-ŕ-vis the United States Dollar

c) Increase in crude oil prices and resultant price of Aviation Turbine Fuel, which forms close to 50% of their operating cost

d) General stress in the Indian economy which not only meant that interest rates hardened but also made it difficult for airlines like ourselves to raise short term/ working capital debt Towards the second half of the financial year, things started giving way and a major airline in India had to significantly reduce capacity in the market. Also, airlines had no choice but to make fare increases and there were two rounds of fare increases; one in November 2011 of around 10% and another one in March 2012 of around 12%. This had very little impact on the passenger traffic because of the capacity reduction in the market, which also led to a steady increase in their corporate and business class bookings.

 

The Company, on its part, has taken various initiatives to improve its operating efficiency and revenue earning potential to bring down the break even load factor. Initiatives such as enhancing ancillary revenues, discontinuing loss making routes, Sale/ Sale and lease back of aircraft, re-negotiation of major contracts including, for aircraft maintenance, ground handling, selling and distribution costs, etc., have been either implemented or in the process of being implemented, which will bring down the break even load factor.

 

The Company raised funds from the sale of development rights of its lease hold property at Bandra-Kurla Complex, Mumbai and from the sale and lease back of engines.

 

As part of its strategic re-branding exercise, the Company has consolidated its low fare service products under the JetKonnect brand to simplify the group’s service proposition and enhance brand recall.

 

Thus, effective 25th March, 2012, the erstwhile JetLite and Jet Airways Konnect services have started operating under the JetKonnect brand, enabling guests to avail of a single superior in-flight product in the full service (Jet Airways) and low-fare (JetKonnect) categories. For the financial year ended 31st March, 2012, their capacity on JetKonnect services formed 64% of their overall domestic capacity in terms of number of seats. With its mixed fleet of Boeings and ATR aircraft and 400 daily flights connecting 56 destinations across India, JetKonnect provides more flexibility and choice to its guests, making it India’s largest low fare brand.

 

For the financial year 2012, the Company has had the best On Time Performance (OTP) and has reported an OTP of 91.1%, which was higher than all other domestic carriers in India. Their vision and focus has been to consistently be not only the biggest, but also the best in their service to customers and in all their operational metrics vis-a-vis the industry. They are pleased to inform you that the benefits of these measures have translated in the Company continuing to dominate the Indian domestic skies with a market share of 26.1% during the year.

 

The Indian aviation market is one of the only markets in the world which continues to grow at a healthy pace and it therefore presents an enviable opportunity for companies like theirs, to take advantage of the strong franchise that they have created over the last few years.

 

The domestic traffic in India grew by 13% for fiscal year 2012 and over the next few years, they expect the domestic aviation market to grow at around 15% per annum and this has also been supported by various studies and analysis carried out by independent agencies like IATA, CAPA, etc. However, there will be short term challenges to grow profitably because of high operating costs and overcapacity in both domestic market as well as international traffic into and out of India.

 

During the year, domestic passenger traffic for the Company, reported a 17.9% growth as compared to the same period last year while international passenger traffic registered an increase of 18.1%.

 

The Company ended the financial year with a system-wide seat factor of 74.8% on the domestic and 81.6% on the international sectors.

 

The Company carried Rs.17.305 millions revenue passengers on its international and domestic services during the year, up from Rs.14.667 millions in the previous financial year.

 

The financial year 2012 was a year of consolidation and there were not many new routes that the Company began operations on. The focus was largely on building traffic flows between domestic and international as well as international traffic flows over their key hubs at Mumbai and New Delhi. The International business of the Company has now posted several consecutive quarters of consistent growth in terms of seat factor of above 80% and increase in the capacity in terms of ASKMs reflecting the growing impact of their network synergies, major strategic international code shares and customer centric product and service focus

 

The Company will take deliveries of 4 Airbus A330 – 300 aircraft this financial, of which 2 will be replacements for lease expiries while the other 2 will be deployed on long haul international routes. There are various international route rights that the Company has applied for to fly into European countries and the new aircraft capacity will be deployed on some of these routes. Additionally, they will also free some A330 aircraft capacity due to temporary suspension of their loss making routes like Mumbai-Johannesburg in June 2012. These aircraft will be redeployed on to other routes.

 

Fleet

 

As on date, the Company had a fleet of 102 aircraft, comprising 10 Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft, 12 Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 60 Next Generation Boeing 737-700/800/900/900ER aircraft and 20 modern ATR 72-500 Turboprop aircraft. With an average fleet age of 6.04 years, the airline has one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the world.

 

Of the 10 B777-300ER aircraft, 5 aircraft have been sub-leased to Thai Airways Public Company Limited (“Thai Airways”). The lease in respect of these aircraft expires between May, 2013 and November, 2013.

 

Flights to 76 destinations span the length and breadth of India and beyond, including Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Bangkok, Brussels, Colombo, Dammam, Dhaka, Doha, Dubai, Hong Kong, Jeddah, Johannesburg, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Kuwait, London (Heathrow), Milan, Muscat, New York (both JFK and Newark), Riyadh, Sharjah, Singapore and Toronto.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

he aviation industry in India has gone through another very difficult year of operation and continued to show substantial losses for Fiscal 2012. This was mainly due to extremely high costs of operations as well as excess capacity in the industry. In the second half of the fiscal year, some of this capacity started getting out of the market because of cancellations by a major player in the industry.

 

Crude oil prices continued to be very high especially in the latter half of the year and this diluted any major impact of capacity reduction. In addition, the Rate of Exchange of the Indian Rupee to the US Dollar continued to be negative for the industry players. Since many of the carriers have more US Dollar costs than US Dollar revenues, this put significant pressure on the cost line.

 

The difficult financial environment in Europe, USA and other countries also resulted in the airlines’ inability to increase yields into and out of these markets. This put significant pressure on the financials of airlines. Added to this pressure, was the issue of Banks and other partners taking a negative stance on aviation companies in India which precluded airlines from getting any kind of financial support in the short term.

 

Towards the end of the year, because of some demand – supply imbalance being reduced, airlines were able to make some fare increases, the impact of which will be seen in Fiscal 2013.

 

ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE FISCAL 2012 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2011 REVENUES

 

Total operating revenues of Rs. 148159.100 millions in Fiscal 2012 compared to Rs. 127367.600 millions in Fiscal 2011 shows an increase of 16%. The higher revenues are on account of increase in the level of operations resulting in increase in Passenger and Cargo revenues.

 

PASSENGER REVENUES

 

In Fiscal 2012 passenger revenues were at Rs. 125820.500 millions as compared to Rs.105708.100 millions in Fiscal 2011. The growth of 19% is mainly due to increase in number of passengers carried compared to the previous year.

 

REVENUES FROM EXCESS BAGGAGE

 

Revenues from excess baggage revenue increased by 63% to Rs. 913.900 millions in Fiscal 2012 from Rs.559.600 millions in Fiscal 2011.

 

REVENUES FROM CARGO

 

Revenues from carriage of cargo increased by 13% to Rs.13084.100 millions in Fiscal 2012 from Rs.11599.500 millions in Fiscal 2011. This was mainly on account of increase in the cargo yield over the last year along with the rise in cargo tons carried.

 

OTHER REVENUES

 

Other revenues decreased to Rs.8340.600 millions in Fiscal 2012 from Rs.9500.400 millions in Fiscal 2011. The reduction can be mainly attributed to reduced leasing income from Rs.5172.400 millions in Fiscal 2011 to Rs. 4521.200 millions in Fiscal 2012.

 

NON-OPERATING REVENUES

 

Non-operating Revenues increased to Rs.3571.700 millions in Fiscal 2012, up by 83% from Rs.1955.100 millions in Fiscal 2011.

 

The increase was mainly on account of profit on sale of engines and sale of development rights of BKC Land.

 

EXPENSES

 

Their total expenses amounting to Rs.165016.000 millions in Fiscal 2012 increased by 26% from Rs.130749.200 millions in Fiscal 2011.

 

AIRCRAFT FUEL

 

Fuel costs increased by 52% to Rs. 66306.700 millions for Fiscal 2012 from Rs.43667.000 millions in Fiscal 2011. This increase was mainly due to:

 

Increase in Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) rates on account of increase in crude oil prices. The average rate per litre of fuel for domestic operations in Fiscal 2012 was Rs.60.20 vs Rs. 45.01 for Fiscal 2011. The rates for International operations were Rs.43.36 in Fiscal 2012 vs Rs.30.29 in Fiscal 2011.

 

There was also an increase in block hours flown from 350,161 hours in Fiscal 2011 to 400,060 hours in Fiscal 2012, as a result of increase in the level of operations.

 

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

 

Other Operating Expenses increased by 27% to Rs.40926.600 millions for Fiscal 2012 from Rs.32321.200 millions in Fiscal 2011 as summarized below:

 

The increase in maintenance and repair costs in 2012 was essentially due to:

 

·          Increase in block hours from 350,161 hours in Fiscal 2011 to 400,060 hours in Fiscal 2012.

·         The landing and navigation charges were high because of increase in number of flights operated over previous year; additionally some of the International routes were upgraded to wide body aircraft.

·         The increase in general and administrative expenses in Fiscal 2012 over Fiscal 2011 is attributable to:

 

Increase in Food and Cabin expenses by 13% from Rs. 5306.900 millions to Rs. 6009.500 millions is primarily due to the change in the mix of full service and JAK operations over the last year along with the level of operations going up.

 

The increase in expenses relating to crew accommodation, transportation and allowances by 27% from Rs.1785.400 millions in Fiscal 2011 to Rs.2263.900 millions in Fiscal 2012 was due to the expansion of services in the Domestic market along with the addition of frequencies on International routes.

 

Loss on foreign exchange fluctuation amounting to Rs.1725.700 millions which is included in general and administrative charges.

 

EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS

 

Expenses with regard to employee remuneration and benefits increased by 19% to Rs.15994.900 millions in Fiscal 2012 from Rs.13396.900 millions in Fiscal 2011 due to increase in the personnel employed to support the increase in the flights operated i.e. number of departures increased by around 19% over the last year. As on 31st March, 2012, the Company had 12,849 permanent employees as against 12,811 permanent employees on 31st March, 2011.

 

SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION COSTS

 

Selling and distribution costs increased by 8% to Rs.13616.700 millions for Fiscal 2012 from Rs.12617.200 millions for Fiscal 2011. Commission costs, which forms a part of selling and distribution costs, did not go up in the same proportion as increase in the revenues. This was due to decrease in the performance linked incentives and commission paid to agents / general selling agents. Hence, increase in the selling and distribution cost was restricted to only 8%.

 

LEASE RENTALS

 

Aircraft rentals increased by 7% to Rs, 9060.000 millions in Fiscal 2012 from Rs. 8443.600 millions in Fiscal 2011 mainly on account of

 

·         The induction of 4 Boeing 737-800 aircrafts and 1 Boeing 737-900ER

 

·         Impact of exchange rate difference of Rupee moving from 44.595 to 50.875 to a Dollar. Depreciation

6.The Company had acquired 100% of the shareholding of Sahara Airlines Limited (SAL) (now known as Jet Lite (India) Limited) in April, 2007. As per the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) as amended by the subsequent Consent Award, the mutually agreed sale consideration was to be paid to the Selling Shareholders (SICCL) in four equal interest free instalments by 30th March, 2011. As a result of certain disputes that arose between the parties, both the parties had filed petitions in the Hon'ble Bombay High Court for breach of SPA as amended by the subsequent Consent Award. The Hon'ble Bombay High Court delivered its Judgment on 4th May, 2011 whereby SICCL's demand for restoration of the original price of  Rs.20000.000 millions was denied and the Purchase Consideration was sealed at the revised amount of  Rs. 14500.000 millions. However, in its judgment, the Hon'ble Bombay High Court has awarded interest at 9% p.a. on the delayed payments made to SICCL largely on account of ongoing legal dispute. In view of this Order, a sum of Rs.1164.300 millions became payable as interest which has been duly discharged by the Company. As a result of this discharge, the undertaking given by the Company in April 2009 for not creating any encumbrance or alienation of its moveable or immoveable assets and properties in any manner other than in the normal course of the business, stands released.

 

Though the Company had complied with the order of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, based on legal advice, it filed an appeal with the Division Bench of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court contesting the levy of interest. SICCL also filed an appeal with the Division Bench of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court for restoration of the purchase consideration to Rs. 20000.000 millions and for interest to be awarded at 18% p.a. as against the 9% p.a. awarded by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court.

 

The Division Bench of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court heard the matter and vide its order dt.17th October, 2011 dismissed both the appeals as being not maintainable in view of jurisdictional issue. The Company has since filed Special Leave Petitions (SLP) before the Hon'ble Supreme Court challenging both the orders of 4th May, 2011 and 17th October, 2011. SICCL had earlier filed a SLP before the Hon'ble Supreme Court for increased compensation and interest.

 

Both the SLPs, filed by Jet Airways as well as SICCL, came up for hearing before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court directed the parties to file the Counter and Rejoinder which has since been filed. The Supreme Court also recorded that the statement made by Jet Airways, as recorded in the order dated 6th May, 2011 passed by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, would continue till further orders.

 

Pending adjudication of the matter by the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the interest payment of Rs. 1164.300 millions effected by the Company on 5th May 2011 has not been recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

 

7.The Company has equity and preference investments aggregating to Rs. 16450.000 millions in Jet Lite (India) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, and has advanced an interest free loan amounting to Rs. 13322.700 millions as on 30th June, 2012. An external reputed valuer based on revised business plans as approved by the Board of subsidiary company, has recently valued the equity interest in the subsidiary, which supports the carrying value of such investment. The Company continues to provide financial support to the subsidiary's operations to further such business plans and expects it to turnaround. Accordingly, the subsidiary’s financial statements have been prepared on a "Going Concern" basis and no provision is considered necessary at this stage in respect of the Company's investments and loans outstanding from the said subsidiary.

 

8. In view of the seasonality of the business, the financial results for the Quarter ended 30th June, 2012 are not indicative of the full year's performance.

 

9. The Airline Industry continues to be overshadowed by high fuel and other operating cost besides weakening Rupee, which significantly impacted the performance and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiary resulting in substantial erosion of the net worth. The Management has been constantly implementing initiatives to improve the operating cash flows through cost control measures, route rationalisation, leasing out Aircraft, exploring avenues of enhancing ancillary revenues etc. The Company is also exploring options of raising finances to meet its various operational and financial obligations including financial support to its Subsidiary - Jet Lite (India) Limited. These measures are expected to result in sustainable cash flows and accordingly these financial statements continue to be presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

10. The figures for the previous corresponding periods have been regrouped / reclassified, wherever necessary, to make them comparable.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

JET AIR ERASES LAST WEEK'S GAINS, DOWN 6%

 

Mar 04, 2013, 03.28 PM IST

 

Shares of Jet Airways pared some of its last week's gains and fell over 6 percent to Rs 503.65, despite media reports stating that it has approached the civil aviation ministry for acquiring around six slots that currently belong to defunct Kingfisher Airlines.

 

Last Friday, even as the airline's deal with Etihad came to a standstill, its shares surged over 9 percent after it sold three of its slots at Heathrow Airport for USD 70 million to the Gulf-based carrier (Etihad), further strengthening its commercial relations with the carrier.

 

Meanwhile, Jet Air is in talks with Eithad for a possible stake sale deal since September last year, but has not yet announced it officially due to negotiations getting stuck on certain issues.

 

According to CNBC-TV18 sources, Jet Air is learnt to have revised certain clauses pertaining to the Etihad deal. The airline has agreed to give four seats to Etihad on its Board.

 

 Jet Air may also be open to price negotiations as well. The Jet-Etihad deal valuation is likely to be revised.

 

Earlier, the deal was stuck when Etihad said that instead of two it would want four members of Jet's board. It had also said that in future

 

The deal was likely to be announced last week, but Hamed bin Zayed al-Nahayan, chairman of Etihad Airways, told media that there were certain issues to be dealt with, before signing agreement with Jet Air.

 

Since September last year, reports of  likely Jet-Etihad started doing rounds and it was only in December that Jet confirmed about it, saying that it is still in negotiation phase. "As and when the deal will happen, we will make an announcement," it had said.

 

Etihad is keen to pick up 24 percent stakes in Jet Air at around USD 330 million. Both parties still need to discuss issues related to Board composition and revenue sharing model.

 

 

 

JET SHARES SURGE ON RENEWED HOPES OF STAKE SALE TO ETIHAD

 

Shares of Jet Airways rallied 10% to close at Rs 554.10 on renewed hopes that the stake sale to Gulf-based Etihad Airways will be inked shortly.

 

Mar 08, 2013, 04.30 PM IST

 

Shares of Jet Airways rallied 10 percent to close at Rs 554.10 on renewed hopes that the stake sale to Gulf-based Etihad Airways will be inked shortly. The stock has been under pressure for the last couple of weeks after Etihad chairman’s statement that the deal may take longer to materialize.


According to the latest information, Etihad may buy 10-12 percent in Jet from the promoters for a price between Rs 700-750 per share, reports CNBC-TV18, quoting unnamed sources. It will buy the additional stake through a preferential allotment of shares, sources said.


Under the current rules, foreign airlines can buy up to 49 percent in an Indian carrier.

 

The share purchase agreement will not have any forward contract clause, sources said.

 

Industry watchers feel the impending Jet-Etihad deal and AirAsia's entry into India could trigger another round of fare wars, putting further pressure on the already weak bottomlines of Indian carriers.

 

SpiceJet flagged off the fare war in January, and Jet and other carriers followed suit last month.

 

SpiceJet CEO Neil Mills of the view that AirAsia is unlikely to be aggressive in its fare strategy.

 

"AirAsia is a very credible competitor but they have always been very rational and logical. So I don’t believe that they will undercut and not make any money. If you see their growth in some of the other markets they have tempered the growth when they haven't been able to make money," he told CNBC-TV18 in an interview on Thursday.

Management Discussion and Analysis (for the quarter)

 

Improvement in yields, decrease in Cost per ASKM ex- fuel has helped to improve operating margins for the quarter. This is despite slowdown in traffic growth, higher fuel prices and impact of a weak rupee as against US dollar. The unrealised exchange loss for the quarter was approximately Rs.480.000 millions for Jet Airways. 

 

The Company has over the last few months pulled out of loss making routes, redeployed aircraft to other profitable routes. Key routes discontinued over the last few months include BOM – JNB, BRU – JFK, MAA – BRU, which helped in improving overall international performance. This also resulted in instances of aircraft on ground in the short term, the impact of which for the quarter was approximately Rs.550.000 millions. These aircraft will be redeployed in the months to come 

 

Mr. Nikos Kardassis, Chief Executive Officer, Jet Airways India Limited said, 

 

“All of our efforts on revenues, costs and network side have resulted in turning around the airline operations. This is despite higher fuel prices and rupee depreciation impact that we have had in the last few months. The combined impact of higher yields and lower costs (ex fuel) have resulted in significantly lowering the breakeven seat factor levels in the business. 


We continue in our endeavor on cost cutting measures, exploring various avenues of ancillary revenues and process improvements across all segments of the business, which will help us improve the business further. 


At Jet Airways we remain committed to consistently improving our legendary warmth, service, reliability and courtesy delivered by an attentive staff to ensure that we achieve customer delight”

Outlook


The capacity induction in the market has slowed down over the last few months, thereby helping the airlines to maintain higher yields. 


This along with the weak economic scenario has affected the traffic growth in the industry YoY. However, higher yields will help the industry to improve breakevens in short to medium term. 


ATF Prices and rupee depreciation vis-a-vis US dollar continues to be a cause of concern in the short term. 


Q4 passenger bookings show encouraging trends, however it will reflect some seasonality. 


Our International operations continue to achieve seat factor of around 80% 


Sale and Lease back transactions and debt reduction program continues to be on track.
