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.

GENERAL ECONOMY

 

The global economy saw a lower growth rate in the year– for the calendar year 2012, global growth was estimated at below 3% compared to the 3.8% and 5.2% clocked in the years 2011 and 2010. While Europe continued to reel under debt pressure, the news from USA has also not been very positive. Most of the Middle East has been experiencing difficulties the past year, resulting in high oil prices – oil prices have increased almost 15% in the January/March quarter with consequential effects on inflation. Meanwhile China has moderated its growth prospects for the upcoming years.

 

On the domestic front, inflation has been ruling high for well over a year now – while the core inflation seems to have cooled down in the last quarter to around 6%, for most of the year inflation averaged at almost 9%. The high interest rate situation had its negative impact on the economy, with most sectors reporting negative or at best a modest growth. Additionally the high level of government’s fiscal deficit at 5.9% continues to trouble the economy. Real economic growth has fallen sharply to 6.5% from the previous year’s level of 8.5%. Against this backdrop the Rupee has depreciated sharply against the US Dollar – from a level of 44.50 in April 2011 to 50.88 in March 2012 – a depreciation of 14% in one year.

 

In its recent budget, the government expects the economy to pick up after faltering last year – GDP is expected to grow at over 7% in the coming financial year, fiscal deficit is expected to be contained to less than 5.1% of GDP and inflation is expected to be reined in at under 6.5%. However, this will depend on how some elements of the global economy play out – such as oil and commodity prices, the debt situation in Europe as well as the political situation in the Middle East. Business confidence in the rest of Asia too seems low as China moderates its own growth projections

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

During 2011-12 The Company saw a very modest growth in the top line with sales registering about 2% growth in value terms. This increase was primarily in the Electrical Cables segment. In volume terms growth was visible again only in the Electrical Cables segment  – with star performances from product offering to the following customer sectors – automotive, agriculture and construction. In the Communication Cables segment, however, the level of investment in capital expenditure by Telecom service providers was even lower Directors’ Report10 than the previous year resulting in lower sales volumes of Communication Cables. As was indicated in the previous year, the Sheets Division was wound up in the year under review.

 

Competition, as in the past years, has been keen. Coupled with a year of modest growth and volatile price levels the pressure on margins was continuous. Hence adjustments to the selling prices were kept minimal and to levels that were appropriate.

 

Income for the year was marginally higher at Rs. 21,003.500 Millions (previous year Rs. 20,618.400 Millions) representing a growth of 2% over the previous year. The Company has recorded a Net Profit after Tax of Rs. 981.900 Millions as against a Net Profit of Rs. 868.100 Millions in the previous year. Improved capacity utilization, better product mix allocation between the various manufacturing units, growth in sales volumes across the product lines mentioned above, tight monitoring of costs and working capital requirement all have contributed to the improvement in the financials for the year under review.

 

JOINT VENTURES

 

Finolex J-Power Systems Private Limited, Shirval near Pune As at 31st March 2012, your Company’s investment in the JV stands at Rs. 480.200 Millions. This includes an additional investment of Rs. 98.000 Millions made in January 2012 to finance the enhanced capital needs of the JV.

 

The Directors are happy to report that the JV commenced its manufacturing operations towards the end of September 2011 and has since been able to supply electrical cables of the 66 KV range. The JV has been active in participating in tenders both locally and overseas with a view to secure business. As is common with products being offered by the JV, pre-qualification requirements are very stringent and no effort is being spared in ensuring that the JV obtains all the requisite certifications

 

Corning Finolex Optical Fibre Private Limited

 

During the year, the marketing JV with Corning of USA was established and an investment of Rs. 0.500 Millions was made. The JV will market Optical Fibre to cable makers within India and it is expected that the JV will commence its operations in the upcoming fiscal.

 

EXPORTS

 

During the year (in November 2011), the Company was awarded the Special Trophy for large enterprise in the product group of Highest Exporter in Thrust Markets for Thrust Products for outstanding contribution to Engineering Exports in the year 2008-09. Despite the depressed market situation overseas FOB value of exports for the year was Rs. 483.900 Millions (higher by 22% than the previous year’s export value of Rs. 393.700 Millions).

 

FINANCE

 

The Company’s short term debt programs continue to enjoy the highest ratings from CRISIL. Since the last few years these have been accorded the P1+ rating. The Company also holds AA/Stable rating for its Rs.500.000 Millions long term non convertible debentures program 11 44th Annual Report 2011-12 as well as on the long term loans currently outstanding.

 

In March 2012, the Company repaid an External Commercial Borrowing of JPY 3.5 billion which was originally drawn in 2007. The loan was repaid in full and on time out of internal accruals and without resorting to either a roll over or substitute loans.

 

The Company follows a balanced policy to manage liquidity and borrowing. Despite the increase in value of operations, owing to tight controls on the working capital cycles, your Company has managed to control financial expenses to the minimum required levels. The Company has been able to meet all its financial commitments in a timely manner.

 

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY:

 

The Company operates in two main segments - Electrical Cables and Communication Cables.

 

To support its requirement of Copper Rods for both type of cables, the Company manufactures Continuous Cast Copper Rods (CCC rods), at its Rod Plant at Goa.  A small part of this production of CCC rods is, however, sold to third party customers. The result from this operation is declared under the Copper Segment.

 

In addition, the Company has expanded its product range to include Electrical Switches and Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs). These items, however, account for less than 5% of the Company’s turnover and are hence reported as “Others” in the Segment Results.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

 

          Production:

- Electrical Cables at 45,348 MT as compared to 42,511 MT in the previous year.

- Metal based Communication cables at 4,276 MT as compared to 5,598 MT in the previous year.

- Optical Fibre Cables at 30,211 KM as compared to 37,116 KM in the previous year.

- Optic Fibre at 273,130 fibre kilometers as compared to 779,740 fibre kilometers in the previous year.

 

            Sales:

- Electrical Cables (including Excise Duty) at Rs.17705.000 Millions as compared to Rs.14074.000 Millions in the previous year.

- Communication cables (including Excise Duty) at Rs.1420.000 Millions as compared to Rs.2042.000 Millions in the previous year.

- Copper Rods (net of interdivisional transfers and including Excise Duty) at Rs. 2051.000 Millions as compared to Rs.5106.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

● Exports were higher at Rs. 489.000 Millions as against Rs.400.000 Millions of the earlier year.

 

● The income from operations (including excise duty) was Rs.21824.000 Millions for the year under review as compared to Rs.21864.000 Millions for the earlier year.

 

● The Joint Venture with J-Power Systems Corp of Japan commenced manufacturing operations in September 2011. The venture’s plant at Shirwal near Pune is geared to produce Extra High Voltage Electrical Cables in the range of 66KV to 500 KV. With equipment and technology that is state of art, the venture is now gearing itself towards obtaining the required certifications from various agencies to enable it supply Extra High Voltage Electrical Cables to power utilities in the domestic and overseas markets. The venture has begun to actively participate in the various tenders that have been floated by interested power utilities since September 2011.

 

● The two Optic Fibre draw towers were shut down for up gradation during the second half of the year – major modifications were carried out to these towers, which will vastly improve productivity and yields going forward. The shut down resulted in lower levels of fibre production during the year under review. Both the towers have since become operational in the financial year 2012-13.

 

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT:

 

The segment-wise discussion on the markets which are served by the Company is as follows:

 

Electrical Cables:

 

    Electrical cables can be further categorised into light duty electrical cables, power and control cables. 

 

(i)   Light  duty electrical cables include electrical wires used extensively for electrification of industrial establishments,  electrical panel wiring in industrial establishments and major equipments, consumer durable goods, automobiles, agricultural pump sets, small generator applications besides general lighting purposes.

 

(ii) In power cable category, the Company has the ability to manufacture such cables within the range 1.1 kV to 66 kV.  These cables are high voltage cables designed in various contractions depending upon their applications; however, always meant for underground usage.  Power and control cables upto 3.3 kV rating are used for connecting user point to the main supply of power.  Power cables above 3.3 kV rating are meant for use in underground application for intra-city electricity distribution network.  The Company manufactures insulated power cables only.  These cables meet the requirements of international standards.

 

Performance:

 

   For  the year, the electrical cables registered sales (inclusive of excise duty) of Rs. 17705.000 Millions against Rs.14074.000 Millions of the previous year

 

Outlook:

 

   Electrical cables are the main focus area of business for the company.  It accounted for 82% of total sales for the year under review. Growth during the year was driven by the improvement shown by the construction and automobile sectors. The long term out look for this sector remains positive since the economic growth for the country depends on industrial and infrastructural developments.

 

   The Company faces two principal risks in this business – firstly competition from a large unorganized sector which produces products of inferior quality but at cheap prices and secondly a highly volatile commodity market where price movements can be very sharp. The Company has been handling the risk of the competitive forces through its organized business approach by the strength of its reach, superior quality products, safe products and maintaining high standards of service levels with its customers.  The Company enjoys the advantages of economies of scale and backward integration. As and when GST is rolled out in the country, the Company believes the threat of a competitive force that relies on cheap quality and sharp practices will reduce further.  As regards the risk of sharp raw material price movements, though the Company endeavors to pass on the price effect to the customers, there has always been a time lag between the price movement and the passing thereof.  The Company negotiates price variation contracts with bulk buyers.  The Company has been fair in dealing with its customers and accordingly enjoys customer confidence in pricing decisions.

 

COMMUNICATION CABLES:

 

    The communication cables comprise of state of art, new generation communication cables and traditional telephone cables.

 

(i)   The state of art communication cables are either copper based or glass based.  The copper based cables include LAN cables, coaxial cables, PE insulated switchboard cables and V-SAT cables.  These cables are used for last mile connectivity.  LAN cables are used in high speed networks, Coaxial cables are used to provide content input to TV receiving sets and in microwave communications and mobile towers, PE insulated switchboard cables are used to connect telephone instruments to an EPABX system and V-SAT cables find their application in V-SAT towers to connect the dish to the base station.

 

     Optic fibre cables are glass based cables and they have the maximum bandwidth and speed.  Certain cable designs are used as trunk cables in long distance networks while other designs are used in distribution, whether by telecom companies, multi-service organisations or other service providers.

 

    Communication cables which carry, voice data or images is the backbone of an economic activity.  The speed and bandwidth determine the capabilities of a communication network.

 

(ii)   Traditional telephone cables include JFTCs which are laid underground and are used for connecting land line telephones to exchanges.  These are copper based cables. With introduction of mobile telephones in India and due to substitution by optic fibre cables, JFTC business has lost its value.  Nevertheless, JFTC continues to remain a preferred option for last mile connectivity in fixed line telephones. The demand for JFTCs will continue to remain modest.  The Company would continue to manufacture JFTCs especially with broadband features for public sector and private sector telecom companies and to meet the export demand.  The Company has the capability to make JFTCs as per customer’s needs.

 

Performance:

 

   The communication cables segment (including optic fibre) recorded sales of Rs.1420.000 Millions for the year under review against Rs.2042.000 Millions for the earlier year. The uncertainties that have plagued the telecom sector over the past two years have had an impact on your Company’s revenues from this segment. Full fledged introduction of value added service has been delayed by telecom service providers. Uncertainties over spectrum usage and licensing also acted as a dampener in this business.  Consequently the level of capital expenditure by telecom service providers has been minimal. While care has been taken to improve margins by selling products with higher value addition and thereby protect profitability, your Company also focused on network service providers and PSU units to keep the revenue momentum going. BSNL after several years came out with a tender for JFTC cables, the order for a part of which your Company secured and serviced during the year. Overall this was a year of negative growth in this segment.

 

 

Outlook:

 

   With the impetus from the Government in providing better and faster internet access to rural India, your Company believes that demand for communication products will be robust for the foreseeable future. The economic development requires inter-alia, a strong, dependable and sustainable communication network. The Company’s communication cables meet with the requirement of local as well as international standards and therefore, find ready acceptance with domestic customers as well as in the exports market.  The outlook here is positive.

 

   The risks of competition and copper price movements similar to the electrical cables business are also applicable to the business of communication cables. The varying global demand-supply equation of optic fibre and resultant price movement thereof; availability of preforms and price thereof and delay/slow-down in investment into networks by telecom companies/service provider and other relevant entities due to global slow-down pose risk to the business of communication cables. The Company’s association with Corning Inc of USA, inventor of glass fibre, one of the world’s leading glass and fibre manufacturers and having the largest market share in the world, would be beneficial in meeting technological and market based challenges.

 

COPPER RODS:

 

Copper rod is the feed stock for copper based electrical and communications cables.  The Company manufactures its own copper rods. The base material for producing copper rods is copper cathodes, the bulk of which are procured from local manufacturers under long term supply agreements.  A smaller portion of the requirement of copper cathodes is imported as and when needed.  After meeting the in-house requirement of copper rods, the balance capacity to produce copper rods is allocated for third party sale.

 

Performance:

 

   During the year, the CCC rods division recorded a production volume of 21,288 metric tones as against 33,496 metric tones for the earlier year. The sales were Rs.9504.000 Millions (previous year Rs.13815.000 Millions) of which Rs.2051.000 Millions were sales to third parties (previous year Rs.5106.000 Millions) and balance was inter-divisional transfers. With continued uncertainties in the global business environment, commodity markets remained volatile through the year. From a high of USD 10,000 per MT, copper prices saw a low of USD 6,200 per MT during the second quarter of the fiscal, before closing the year at around USD 8,300 per MT at the London Metal Exchange. Within the domestic market, the threat of imported copper led to the domestic majors sharply dropping the premium on copper rods from earlier levels, while increasing the premium levels on copper cathode. This put severe pressure on margins related to sale of copper rods to third party – consequently the Company restricted its sale of copper rods to already committed contracts or contracts where the margin levels were acceptable. Overall, therefore, there was a reduction in the throughput at the copper rod segment.

 

Outlook:

 

   The copper rod production is mainly for in-house consumption.  The Company’s steps to set up new plants for cables as well as to expand the cable capacity at the existing plants will boost up the captive consumption of copper rods. Further, since the joint venture with J-Power Systems Corp. of Japan has commenced its manufacturing operations, the venture’s copper requirements would be met by the Company’s copper rod plant. Accordingly the utilization of capacity at copper rod plant is expected to improve in coming years. 

 

ELECTRICAL SWITCHES AND CFLS:

 

The manufacture and sale of these electrical products act as a logical extension of the cables business of the Company. They have the backing of Finolex name, assuring the customer of quality, safety and performance standards.  These electrical and lighting products are sold through the existing well-spread distribution network of cables. Other distribution avenues are also being explored to penetrate further in the market. Products have been well accepted by the market. 

 

On its part to contain the effects of global warming, the Government is promoting use of CFLs. Keeping in mind the expected growth in CFL demand the Company has built capacity in T3 and T4 type CFLs and has also launched the latest T5 tube lights and fittings in the market.

 

 

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

 

a) Disputed demands in appeal towards Excise Rs. 156.400 Millions (Previous year Rs. 107.100 Millions), Customs Rs. 13.400 Millions (Previous year Rs. 13.400 Millions) and Sales Tax Rs. 599.000 Millions (Previous year Rs. 471.300 Millions )
