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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Business Overview

 

Indian gross domestic product and the Index of Industrial Production registered a growth of 7% (8.6%) and 2.8% (8.2%) respectively during the financial year 2011-12, reflecting a slower growth of the Indian economy than in the previous year.

 

The global economy grew very slowly with emerging economies registering a slow growth. The US economy showed better signs of growth; however various indices of the US economy fluctuated erratically making it difficult to arrive at a define conclusion that economic recovery is under way. The European economies have been stressed due to financial crisis in a number of countries in the Euro zone with no immediate solution in sight.

 

Domestic Sales

 

Domestic sales increased to Rs. 14510.000 Millions from Rs. 12940.000 Millions, a growth of 12%. Demand from automotive OEMs fluctuated throughout the year. Aftermarket sales also showed growth as confidence levels of dealers improved resulting in higher off-take and stocking. Upsurge in petrol prices resulted in a shift towards diesel powered vehicles.

 

Exports

 

The US markets showed signs of recovery and the confidence levels of the Company’s customers improved perceptibly. European markets continued to be sluggish. Exports from all the major units showed sizable growth enabling the Company to post record sales of at Rs 6460.000 Millions as against Rs 4790.000 Millions in the previous year, an increase of 35%. Export sales were around 30% of the overall sales revenues. The Company’s push for adding new products and new customers is expected to result in further improvement in exports in the near future. Volatility in exchange rates and slow recovery in demand from European customers are causes for concern.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Improved market conditions resulted in higher sales in all the units of the Company. Raw material prices increased steadily during the first half of the year. Input costs rose across the board, especially of petroleum based products. Non-availability of power due to scheduled power-cuts up to 40%, power holidays and unscheduled power outages forced the Company to purchase power and resort to self generation at higher costs. Wages increased as dearness allowance increased in line with the cost of living index. High levels of inflation had a direct impact on wage costs. The Company continued to be under pressure due to rising manufacturing costs. Freight rates also increased in line with increase in cost of diesel and other inputs related to the transportation industry.

 

The Company continues to adopt Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices in order to achieve a reasonable

control over other operating expenses.

 

During the year, PBIDT (Profit before interest, foreign exchange fluctuation, depreciation and tax) was higher at

Rs 3131.600 Millions as against Rs 2344.500 Millions in the previous year.

 

Steady rise in demand for the Company’s products resulted in additional investments in working capital. The Company made substantial investments in creation of capacities for new products and additional capacities for manufacture of existing products to meet projected demand from domestic and international customers. These investments resulted in additional interest costs. Tight money policies followed by Reserve Bank of India resulted in steep increase in interest rates on Rupee borrowings and forward premiums in respect of foreign currency borrowings. Interest rates on foreign currency loans were volatile depending on the availability of dollar funds in the market. Financing costs including adverse foreign exchange variations of Rs 573.000 Millions (Rs 86.900 Millions) increased to 922.000 Millions as against Rs 356.700 Millions in the previous year. In line with the Accounting Standard AS-11 (dealing with the effects of change in foreign exchange rates) and to ensure the principles of consistency the Company recognises the exchange differences arising out of foreign currency denominated items as expenses or income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. It may be noted that even after providing for foreign exchange losses, the net borrowing costs of the Company would be more cost-effective than rupee loans on a door-to-door basis.

 

Depreciation was higher at Rs 636.100 Millions (Rs 545.400 Millions) on account of increased capital expenditure incurred over the recent years.

 

Profit before tax was higher at Rs 1573.400 Millions (Rs 1442.500 Millions). Profit after tax amounted to Rs 1126.000 Millions (Rs 1054.300 Millions).

PRESS RELEASE

 

SUNDRAM FASTENERS BETS ON US MARKET FOR GROWTH

CHENNAI, AUGUST 3

 

With the domestic auto market slowing, components maker Sundram Fasteners Limited (SFL) is fastening its grip on the US market.

 

“Our exports have just boomed. The rupee going down has boosted us quite a bit; the good-old greenback is getting its due,” said Suresh Krishna, Chairman and Managing Director.

 

“America is not stagnant anymore. It is growing slowly at 2-3 per cent. We expect most growth from US exports,” said Krishna.

 

Key contributor

 

The US accounts for over 70 per cent of SFL’s exports of Rs 646 crore in 2011-12. General Motors, Ford and Cummins are its big customers. The company’s revenue for FY 12 was Rs 21470.000 millions.

 

Having established a brand name for itself exporting radiator caps to GM in the mid-90s, SFL is now set for the long haul in exports. “Our exports began by selling radiator caps to over 20 factories in America. This helped us get first-hand knowledge of how international business has to be conducted.”

 

Today, fasteners and shafts have completely overtaken radiator caps, which is only Rs 500.000 millions out of the company’s exports. The company is fully geared for exports, said Krishna – “whether it is meeting quality demands, delivery demands, warehousing or logistics. Exports have become a way of life for us.”

 

Exports rise

 

Exports rose 35 per cent in 2011-12 over the previous year. Production for export markets happens at its plants in Chennai.

 

However, Europe is not doing well. Sundram Fasteners bought Peiner Umformtechnik in Germany in 2005; things were going well for two years. “Now, Europe has just gone into a shell,” rued Krishna. The German company registered losses of Rs 288.100 millions in 2011.

 

The company’s subsidiary in Cramlington (SFL acquired Cramlington Precision Forge in 2003) is managing to “keep its head above water.”

 

The plant here supplies to both the UK and India.

 

However, exports still account for only 30-35 per cent of total revenue. While that will grow, “we cannot say we will completely go export-oriented. The domestic market is very important to us,” says Krishna.

 

SFL has chalked out a Rs 1500.000-millions capex plan for this year. But with auto companies in India cutting back, the company does not see big room for expansion in the country. If things continue like this for a few more months, the company may have to rethink, says Krishna.
