PERFORMANCE:

Sesa continues to focus on improving internal operational efficiencies, while aspiring to achieve higher performance levels. However, during the year, volumes were under pressure.

Iron ore production and sales were 13.8 and 16.0 mt in 2011-12 compared to 18.8 and 18.1 mt (17.4 and 16.4 mt excluding Orissa) in the previous year. External sales revenue from iron ore decreased by 3%, from Rs. 83870.000 millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 81120.000 millions in 2011-12.

The pig iron business’ sales volume decreased by 6% to 250,571 tonnes in 2011-12, while sales revenue grew, fuelled by better prices, by 8% to Rs. 7200.000 millions in 2011-12.

Sales and production volume of metallurgical (met) coke were at similar levels as last year, at 251,264 tonnes and 256,575 tonnes respectively in 2011-12. External sales revenue increased by 24% to Rs. 2000.000 millions in 2011-12.

Sesa’s net income from operations fell by 10% to Rs. 83100.000 millions in 2011-12. Operating cash profit (PBDT) declined by 43% to Rs. 3235.000 millions in 2011-12. PAT (including associate income) decreased 36% to Rs. 26960.000 millions, and diluted earnings per share were Rs. 31.01 in 2011-12. With effect from December 8, 2011, Cairn India Limited (CIL) became an associate company and accordingly, the Company’s share of profits in CIL, attributable to the period after acquisition till March 31, 2012, have been recognized in the consolidated financial results.

OUTLOOK

As stated earlier, the longer term perspective of the iron ore market remains stable with a gradual move towards equilibrium. Consensus expectations indicate a global deficit in iron ore continuing for the next two years, followed by pressure on prices as new mining capacities are added. Cost pressures, especially related to capital expenditure, uncertainty of imposition of fresh taxation by regulators and project delays could potentially constrain the speed at which new supply is added, which could be additional buoyancy for prices.

On the cost front, royalty rates, railway and road freight and export duties are expected to exert pressure on the Company, while volumes would continue to be challenged by uncertainties in policy decisions and hurdles in logistics. We continue to remain cautiously optimistic of overcoming such obstacles. The following will continue to be our strategic thrust areas for the year 2012-13.

Safety: Safety will continue to be paramount and at the forefront of all our operations. Our focus in 2012-13 will be to improve on the currently stellar safety performance in the pig iron and met coke businesses by further reducing near misses and incidents, and to work consistently and intensively to duplicate this performance in the iron ore (and associated) divisions.

Production: With a focus on enhancing operational efficiencies, we will continuously strive to restore performance levels to better the best performance in previous years. We look forward to Karnataka operations resuming to full-blown levels in the near term. The commissioning of our met coke and pig iron expansions take our capacities to 560 and 625 ktpa respectively and we look forward to full capacity utilisation rates during the year.

Cost Reduction and Process Optimisation: With increasing pressures from external factors pushing costs up, we look forward to initiating newer avenues to contain costs, with more and more technology interventions to improve efficiencies, simplify processes and ease inflationary impacts.

People Best Practices: We will continue our focus on people development, learning and other engagement initiatives towards making our organisation an exemplary workplace.

Stakeholder Perception: Our resolve to partner with our communities remains steadfast, as ever, and we are actively engaging with all stakeholders.

NOTES:

1. These results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on 24^th January, 2013. The statutory auditors have carried out a "Limited Review" of these results.

2. The Shareholders at the Court convened meeting held on June 19, 2012, have approved a Scheme of Amalgamation and Arrangement amongst Sterlite Industries (India) Limited, The Madras Aluminum Company Limited, Sterlite Energy Limited, Vedanta Aluminium Limited, and Sesa Goa Limited ("the Company") and their respective shareholders and creditors (the "Scheme") and also a Concurrent Scheme of Amalgamation of Ekaterina Limited with the Company and their respective shareholders and creditors (the "Concurrent Scheme"). The Scheme and the Concurrent Scheme are inter-conditional and the Concurrent Scheme coming into effect is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Scheme. Further, the name of the Company is proposed to be changed from Sesa Goa Limited to Sesa Sterlite Limited. The petitions for merger have been filed with and admitted by The High Court of Bombay, at Goa, in respect of which hearings have commenced. Pending Court approvals, no accounting impact of the scheme has been given in the above results.

3. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Bloom Fountain Limited has acquired the remaining 49% stake in Western Cluster Limited, Liberia ("WCL") for a cash consideration of Rs. 1836.800 millions. Post this acquisition, WCL has become a wholly owned subsidiary. WCL will develop the Western Cluster Iron Ore Project in Liberia which includes development of iron ore deposits, necessary transportation and shipping infrastructure for export of iron ore.

4. a) The Government Authorities have ordered suspension of mining operation of all mining leases in the State of Goa, stoppage of mining transport across the State of Goa and suspension of environmental clearance in September, 2012. In October, 2012 the Supreme Court has ordered suspension of all mining operations and transportation of iron ore of the mines in the State. In view of the foregoing, operations at the Company's mines in Goa remain suspended. The Company has filed an application before the Supreme Court seeking modification or vacation of the aforesaid order. The hearing in the Court is yet to commence effectively.

b) The Supreme Court of India had on August 26, 2011 ordered a ban on iron ore mining and direct sales in the State of Karnataka. Pursuant to the directions of the Supreme Court, the Central Empowered Committee has approved the Company's Reclamation and Rehabilitation plan at a provisional production capacity of 2.29 mtpa and the Company expects to commence mining in Karnataka, subject to obtaining the Court's approval. In the meanwhile, sale of inventory continue to be effected by e-auction through the Court appointed agency.

5. a) In view of the position outlined in Note 4 above, there has been a consequential reversal of current tax

charge made in the earlier quarters, to the extent of Rs. 510.000 millions.

b) Based on legal opinion, provision has not been made for Income Tax Demands aggregating Rs.14980.000 millions (including interest-Rs. 3070.000 millions and penalty-Rs.200 millions) for the Assessment Years 2009-10 to 2011-12, arising primarily on account of disallowances of EOUs benefit claims, in respect of which appeals have been/are being filed with the appropriate appellate authorities.

6. Exceptional items for periods: (a) in the current financial year pertain to expenditure in connection with the Company's Voluntary Retirement Scheme; and (b) in the prior financial year pertain to expenses incurred for the strategic investment in Cairn India Limited.

7. Profit before tax under standalone results of the Company includes tax free dividend income of Rs. 1755.700 millions (preceding quarter Rs. Nil, corresponding quarter Rs. Nil) from an associate which has been eliminated in the consolidated results as per Accounting Standard - 23. Hence, other income, profit before tax and profit after tax are strictly not comparable in the consolidated results with corresponding figures in the standalone results.

8. a) As Cairn India Limited has become an associate from December 8, 2011, the share of profit from associate in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012 is not comparable with the corresponding relevant periods on consolidated basis.

b) In view of acquisition of Goa Energy Private Limited on March 2, 2012, the figures for the power segment for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2012 are not comparable with those of the corresponding relevant periods on consolidated basis.

9. Figures for the previous periods have been regrouped / rearranged wherever necessary to conform to the current period's classification.

PRESS RELEASE

Sesa Goa: mining restart, merger will be FY14 highlights

April 28 2013

The ban on iron-ore mining in Karnataka and Goa meant shareholders will have little interest in Sesa Goa Limited’s March-quarter earnings. With not a tonne of ore mined in the three months, it was left to its pig iron and metallurgical coke division to earn some revenues while its investment in Cairn India Limited added to its consolidated financial numbers. Revenues rose to Rs.3148.000 Millions from Rs.2518.000 Millions on a sequential basis and net profit declined to Rs.2975.000 Millions from Rs.4967.000 Millions.

Shareholders can look forward to the resumption of mining by the company in Karnataka, as the courts have cleared the resumption of work at Sesa Goa’s mines earlier this month. The actual process of restarting will take time after getting clearances. Shareholders will be awaiting signals of how much time it could take, as that will see an uptick in revenues and profits from iron-ore. There is no clarity on the Goa mining front.

Another event that is nearing completion is the merger of Vedanta’s group companies in India with Sesa Goa Limited. The Bombay high court has approved the merger and approvals from the Madras high court are awaited. Once that comes through, it will alter Sesa Goa’s financial profile and investors will look to its first set of post-merger results to see how the consolidated entity looks like.

It will result in a company that has a diverse set of businesses in metals and energy. But it also adds to its debt burden and brings along the uncertainty faced by companies such as Vedanta Aluminium Limited in implementing its integrated aluminium project in Orissa.

The global environment has turned unfavourable for commodities, both in non-ferrous metals and energy, possibly because slowing economic growth is affecting demand. If the trend continues, it will be a negative for the merged entity. The Sesa Goa stock has declined by 20.3% from its level three months ago.

Sesa Goa Q4 net down 74% at Rs 2975.100 Millions

April 27 2013

New Delhi: Vedanta group firm Sesa Goa Limited on Saturday reported a 74% decline in consolidated net profit at Rs.2975.100 Millions for the fourth quarter ended 31 March 2013 as its mining operations remained closed due to the bans in Goa and Karnataka.

The company managed to remain profitable in the quarter largely due to a Rs.5127.200 Millions profit coming from its associate and oil firm Cairn India Limited. Sesa Goa holds a 20% stake in the oil firm.

Otherwise, the Goa-based company would have plunged to a consolidated net loss of Rs.2152.100 Millions in the quarter, its balance sheet, posted on the website, showed.

A continuation of the mining ban in Goa and Karnataka during the quarter played spoilsport for the company. Due to this, the company neither produced nor sold any iron ore during the quarter, it said in a statement.

This has also led to Sesa Goa’s total income from operations declining 90% to Rs.2908.700 Millions during the quarter, vis-a-vis the Rs.27943.700 Millions posted in Q4 of FY12.

The company said its pig iron production increased 75% in the quarter, while met coke production was up 48%. Sales of pig iron and met coke increased by 59% and 28%, respectively.

For the fiscal ended March 2013, the firm reported a decline of 15% at Rs.22800.000 Millions in its consolidated net profit.

Its consolidated net sales also declined 69% at Rs.25540.000 Millions in the last fiscal. The company had reported a net profit of Rs.26960.000 Millions and net sales of Rs.82750.000 Millions in FY12.

“The cash profit for the full year declined to Rs.230.000 Millions from Rs.32350.000 Millions in the previous year on account of suspension of iron ore operations,” Sesa Goa said. Despite all the gloom, the company also has good news as it added more than a billion tonnes of iron ore resources at its mines in India and Liberia.

In India, it added 59 million tonnes (mt) of reserves and resources (R and R), taking total R and R to 433 mt. In Liberia, it added 966 mt R and R during the year. “Total reserves and resources in India as on 31 March 2013 stands at 433 mt, as compared to 374 mt as on 31 March 2012, implying more than 20 years of mine life,” Sesa Goa said.

In Liberia, the company has completed 69,000 metres of drilling till March 2013. “The maiden reserves and resources at Liberia stand at 966 mt as on 31 March 2013. The resources pertain to part of the exploration licence areas in Liberia and a significant upside is anticipated. Drilling continues and the preliminary indications continue to be positive,” it added.

Sesa Goa recommends 10% dividend

April 29, 2013

Sesa Goa Limited has informed BSE that the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on April 27, 2013, inter alia, has approved the recommendation of Dividend of 10% for the year 2012-2013 (Re. 0.10 per equity share of Re. 1/- each).The Payment is subject to the approval of the shareholders in its Annual General Meeting which will be held on June 27, 2013 and the Dividend shall be paid/despatched on or before the due date. i.e. July 25, 2013.Source : BSE
