Financial Results

 

Even as the Indian economy encountered a challenging 2011-12, the Company recorded its best-ever performance. In 2011-12, the Companys sales income grew by 36.5% to Rs. 89708.600 Millions compared with Rs. 65708.600 Millions in the previous year. Creditably, the percentage growth of their bottom lines was higher: profit before tax grew by 40% to Rs. 8384.400 Millions, while net profit grew by 39.4% to Rs. 6001.600 Millions.

 

 

Even though the Indian economy grew slower in 2011-12, Subject reported a stronger growth on account of a deep understanding of consumer preferences, product differentiation, new product launches and professional brand management.

 

Sales of the Watches Division (net of excise duty) grew by 20.3% to Rs.15297.600 Millions, the business achieving breakthroughs in a number of new segments the sub-Rs 500 economy segment where the Sonata Super-Fibre model reported handsome off take; the childrens segment, where Titan Zoop blazed to a sale of half-amillion watches in its very first year of full operations; the expansion of the exclusive Fastrack store network reinforced the brands excitement across the preferred youth segment; the successful Fastrack products extended into accessories (bags, belts, wallets, wrist-bands). Besides, Helios, the 25-store chain that retails more than 35 international premium and luxury watch brands in addition to the Companys Titan and Xylys brands, performed creditably. The Companys Jewellery Division sales (net of excise duty) grew by 39.8% to Rs.70641.600 Millions owing to increased sales of diamondstudded jewellery and the grammage growth of gold jewellery despite higher gold prices. The Division launched the Mia and Fq jewellery lines with an eye on working women and the younger generation respectively.

 

The Company’s Eyewear Division, Accessories and Precision Engineering revenues (net of excise duty) cumulatively strengthened by 34.8% to Rs.3288.100 Millions. The Company’s Eyewear business capitalized on retail expansion while the Company’s B2B business of Precision Engineering turned around, the challenging environment notwithstanding.

 

This growth was partly catalyzed by a widening of the retail network through the net addition of 162 stores (2,26,491 sq.ft.) across the Watches, Jewellery and Eyewear Business Divisions. The Company controls a network of 827 stores (including franchisee stores) with over 10,36,000 sq. ft of retail space as on 31st March 2012, which delivered a retail turnover of over Rs. 85000.000 Millions in 2011-12.

 

Simultaneously, the Company strengthened its business through fresh investments. It has invested in the commercial production of an integrated state-of-the-art Jewellery unit in the excise-free zone of Pantnagar, Uttarakand. The Rs 150.000 Millions unit was commissioned in March 2012 to manufacture studded jewellery, with a peak employment opportunity of 250 and a projected turnover of Rs. 2500.000 Millions in 2012-13.

 

International operations

 

Even though the Company was largely focused on the Indian market, it continued to strengthen its international exposure as well. The Company achieved exports of Rs.1600.000 Millions during the year  comprising watches and precision engineered components; this was a 26.5% improvement over the previous year. The International Watches division, which moved into Vietnam in 2009 and South Africa in 2010-11, reported encouraging results in 2011-12.

 

 

While Far East Asian markets continued to do well, some Middle East markets reported sluggishness. The export of precision engineered components reported an improvement in 2011-12 due to a high quality standard, which translated into Precision Engineering Component and Sub-Assemblies (PECSA) orders from the aerospace, oil and gas and electrical sectors while traction for the Machine Building and Automation (MBA) business translated into attractive export orders.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

THE ECONOMY

 

The Indian economy is estimated to have grown 6.5% in 2011-12 as against 8.4% in 2010-11. The lower GDP growth was primarily on account of a combination of global economic headwinds, a challenged Indian industrial sector, inflation, periodic interest rate hikes, infrastructural slowdown and a sharp depreciation of the Indian Rupee against the US Dollar starting from the third quarter of 2011-12.

 

 

The silver lining in India was the performance of the services sector: The segment grew 9.4% and its share in Indias GDP climbed from 58% in 2010-11 to 59% in 2011-12. The countrys agriculture and allied sectors grew 2.5% in 2011-12. National consumption grew 6% and private consumption grew 6.5% compared with 8.1% in the previous year.

 

The slowdown was largely a result of the global economic upheaval following the Euro-zone turmoil from September 2011, which raised questions about the economic stability of a number of countries. Consequently, there were sharp rating downgrades of sovereign debt across a number of advanced countries. This adverse reality notwithstanding, India retained its position as one of the worlds fastest growing economies.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Despite cost-push pressures and rising interest rates that prompted a number of consumers to postpone their purchases, the Company performed credibly: Income increased 37% from Rs. 65710.000 Millions in 2010- 11 to Rs. 89710.000 Millions in 2011-12 while profit after tax strengthened 39% from Rs. 4300.000 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 6000.000 Millions in 2011-12.

 

WATCHES AND ACCESSORIES DIVISION

 

Global Watches Market

 

In 2011, the global wrist watches market was estimated at around the same level as in the previous year (1,050 million units). This absence of volume growth was on account of the economic stress in developed markets like Japan and Europe. In contrast, Asia reported good double-digit growth and the US indicated reasonable recovery.

 

 

Swiss watches, which represent the luxury and premium segment, reported handsome sales growth of 19.2% in 2011. This was driven by a significant 30% increase in Asian consumption, which absorbed a remarkable 55% of all Swiss watch exports. The margins of the Swiss industry were however adversely impacted by volatile exchange rates, including a strong Swiss Franc.

 

The Swatch group continued to be the global market leader in watches with total sales in 2011 exceeding seven billion Swiss Francs. Revenues of this Group grew 21% at constant exchange rates and operating profits grew 12%.

 

Key global trends include the rapid growth of mechanical watches, which outstripped the growth of both quartz analog and quartz digital watches. Despite the global market being flat over the previous year, mechanical watches grew 9% in volume terms. This trend appears to be gaining momentum.

 

Yet another significant trend is the increasing preference for steel watches, compared to watches which sport gold or other looks.

 

Indian watches market

 

Only 27% of all Indians own a watch. This statistic demonstrates the significant potential for growth, particularly as Indians become more affluent and style-conscious.

 

The Indian watches market is estimated at around 53 million units in 2011, valued at approximately Rs. 4,500 cr. The market grew by about 14% in 2011. The catalysts for category growth includes overall economic progress, expanding upper-middle class and middle-class population, growth in Indias young earning population, rising consumerism and the spread of modern retail formats.

 

A large proportion of the Indian watches market is occupied by the unorganized sector, which sells about 30 million watches each year, primarily at the low-end of the market. These include inexpensive watches assembled legally by small players but a large part also comprises smuggled watches and fakes. There is need for concerted and statutory action to curb some of these unscrupulous practices.

 

The organized Indian watches market is dominated by Titan, with a market share exceeding 65%. Over the past few years, the market has witnessed the entry of several global players who are investing significantly in their respective brands. These include Timex, Seiko, Swatch Group, Casio, Citizen, Guess and Fossil, among others.

 

Despite such intense competition, Titan successfully grew sales (including exports) to 15.6 million watches during 2011-12, compared with 13.5 million watches during the previous year. The Companys market share in multi-brand outlets also grew to about 47% during 2011-12, a handsome gain of 2% over the previous year. The reasons include a strong portfolio of brands (Titan, Sonata, Fastrack and Xylys), which has grown even stronger; innovative marketing and advertising efforts; expansion of retail and sales network and an innovative series of new watch designs which have captivated consumers.

 

JEWELLERY DIVISION

 

During 2011-12, the Indian jewellery industry was affected by the following realities:

 

  • The price of gold rose 35% through the year
  • Gold fluctuated by a wide margin during the year, leading to uncertainty in outlook and consumer response
  • The piece of polished diamonds increased more than 100%
  • The government introduced the need to show a PAN card for all transactions in excess of Rs 5 lakhs in an effort to curb the use of black money

 

These realities dampened industry growth and gold imports by Indias jewellery industry declined from 1,030 tonnes in FY11 to an estimated 830 tonnes in FY12, a drop of 20%.

 

 

It is in this context that the Companys sales of 19.3 tonnes in FY12 against 18.3 tonnes in FY11, an increase of 6%, needs to be appraised.

 

 

Their Companys brands continued to attract an increasing number of middle/upper-middle-class quality conscious customers through a variety of initiatives:

 

 

  • Large format Tanishq stores of 10,000 sq. ft each in Kolkata and Pune and 20,000 sq. ft in Mumbai performed exceedingly well, providing the impetus to establish more such stores; the overall network area grew by more than 100,000 sq. ft, the highest ever in any one year

 

  • Launched the Mia (jewellery for working women), Taj (inspired by the Taj Mahal), fq (jewellery for teenagers) and Glam Gold (fashionable traditional jewellery) collections, which were well received

 

  • Launched the Amitabh-Jaya Bachchan advertising campaign for diamond jewellery, which strengthened the brand recall around trust and purity

 

  • Marketed the Golden Harvest Jewellery Purchase Scheme through TV

 

  • Consolidated the Gold Plus brand in Andhra Pradesh through new stores and improvements in merchandise and marketing

 

  • Commissioned a new assembly unit in Pant Nagar (Uttarakhand) for diamond jewellery

 

As a result, the Division reported good growth in sales, EBIT margin and cash flow. It also won a number of awards in terms of store launches, marketing campaigns and supply chain innovation.

 

 

Meanwhile, the competitive landscape became increasingly challenging, marked by regional jewellers expanding their geographic presence, commissioning larger stores, professionalizing their services and considering prospective IPOs. This reality will widen the market, educate consumers, enhance an appreciation of brand differentiation and strengthen their respect.

 

The first six months of CY12 were marked by the following events of significance:

 

  • Increase in the customs duty on gold from 1% to 2% to 4%, which according to industry observers is encouraging smuggling

 

  • Introduction of excise duty and subsequent withdrawal created a level-playing field for the organized sector

 

  • Introduction of tax collection at source for all cash transactions exceeding Rs 5 lakh. This is likely to have a small impact on the Companys prospects, since it is already facing the effects of the PAN card in this value category since July 2011

 

  • Cabinet ratification of compulsory hallmarking. Even as its implementation is hazy, this will prove advantageous in the long-term through a narrow pricing differential between the Company and its peers

 

Even as a hesitant consumer mood, regulatory constraints and increasing competition represent business challenges, their low share of the overall market and increasing branding provide attractive headroom. The Company will respond to this growing opportunity by focusing on the following areas in the next two years:

 

  • Network expansion: The Division is targeting an addition of 200,000-250,000 sq. ft of retail space in 2012-13, double of 2011- 12 comprising a growing number of large stores

 

  • Value: Leveraging increasing affordability of diamonds

 

  • Design/ Collections: Four prominent launches and targeting diverse customer segments

 

  • Middle India: Development of markets in small towns

 

  • New segments: Investments in the Working Women and Solitaire categories

 

Through these initiatives, the Company expects to continue to lead the industry and report superior numbers in 2012-13 as well

 

EYEWEAR

 

Global eyewear market

 

Over the years, eyeglasses have shed their utilitarian image of being just a vision correction contraption to becoming a key fashion accessory. Innovative materials for lenses and frames and other technological advances have resulted in several new designs with superior aesthetic appeal, style and quality. Eyeglasses are increasingly used as a facial accessory matching apparel and for highlighting the users personality. The global eyewear market primarily comprises sales of prescription frames and sunglasses and can be divided in different segments and average retail prices

 

Global eyewear outlook

 

The future of the global eyeglasses market remains upbeat on account of emerging demographic trends. While the sheer increase in the world population opens up several possibilities and opportunities for eyeglass manufacturers and retailers, the already aging population in excess of 45 years with poor eye vision and symptoms of presbyopia, is expected to drive demand. The rise of the Internet as a potent vehicle for selling eyeglasses is additionally expected to expand the retailing reach of eyeglasses. The growing demand of popular-priced sunglasses and robust growth outlook for plastic frames and lenses are expected to catalyse growth of the total eyeglasses market.

 

Although developed markets such as the US and Europe have been the traditionally large revenue contributors to the global eyeglasses market, growth in the short to medium term period is expected from the emerging markets of Asia-Pacific and Latin America, the former being the fastest growing.

 

 

A Global Industry Analysts, Inc. report indicates that the lenses market remains the largest product group in the total eyeglasses market in terms of dollar sales, while the frames market is expected to be the fastest growing in 2007-2015.

 

 

Indian eyewear market

 

The eyewear market is estimated at 25-35 million units per annum. Changing lifestyles will continue to increase the number of people needing vision correction. The industry is largely unorganized and therefore presents a large growth opportunity when consumer preferences move to the organized.

 

During the last 3 years, this industry has seen considerable activity in the form of network expansion, new product offerings as well as emergence of new players - a clear indication of the potential in the country.

 

Titans offerings at Titan Eye+ comprise frames, lenses, sunglasses, contact lenses and accessories. The Company launched several collections of frames and lenses (like hydrophobic lenses that repel water) across its 205 multi-brand retail outlets. The centralised and state-of-the-art lens manufacturing and distribution facility at Chikkaballapur, near Bangalore enabled the division to swiftly cater to the needs of over 75 towns, catering to specific requirements of consumers.

 

The Company continued its tie-up with Sankara Nethralaya to offer mandated training for all its store staff and qualified Optometrists. This helps educate customers on the need for proper eyewear, aiding informed purchase.

 

As per consumer feedback, Titan Eye+ gained a reputation in providing quality eye testing through highly trained professional staff. The Companys retail outlets are seen as destination stores for stylish and contemporary products.

 

The Companys endeavor to introduce innovative and stylish products was reinforced through the launch of three new collections (Rio, Neo and Menz), which accounted for 19% of revenues from frames. A new brand of Sunglasses Cabana targeted at the fashion conscious customer was launched nationally during the third quarter of 2011-12.

 

The Company continued to focus on a superior consumer experience, which reinforced through the Vista loyalty program that was launched nationally.

 

Going ahead, the Division will focus on talent development and retention in view of declining availability of quality optometrists. It expects to standardize consumer experience across its pan-India outlets and educate users on the need for proper eyewear.

 

It is the Divisions desire not only to be largest player in India but more importantly, the most desirable eyewear solutions provider of the country.

 

PRECISION ENGINEERING DIVISION

 

The year 2011-12 was a landmark for the precision engineering division. The business became profitable for the first time, riding record revenues. The business positioned itself as a dependable partner, providing customers with quality products while saving costs.

 

The precision engineering business comprised the following sub-divisions:

 

Precision engineering component and sub-assemblies (PECSA):

PECSA caters to the specialised requirements of the aerospace, oil and gas and electrical sectors. It supplies parts to leading Tier One aerospace companies through long-term contracts. PECSA received awards from SCIATI and HAL, among others. Today, most of the near- 1000 parts manufactured by the division enjoy customer prequalification, strengthening prospects.

 

Machine building and automation (MBA): MBA caters to the assembly line automation needs of automotive and electrical industries. Around 20 customers were acquired during the year under report (total 60) and several export orders were completed. The division entered the manufacture of assembly lines for medical devices with a potential for repeat orders. A rising demand for automation will strengthen revenues.

 

 

Outlook for 2012-13

 

The robustness of the Indian economy is reflected in the fact that despite challenging headwinds, the Euro-zone crisis and a substantially weaker Rupee, Indias GDP is expected to grow by about 6.5% in 2012-13.

 

The Companys Watches Division is optimistic of growth through continued network expansion in India, sustained investment in brands, introduction of new product collections and deeper inroads into Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. The Company expects to increase market share for Fastrack and Titan accessories.

 

The Companys Jewellery Division expects to introduce innovative collections and widen its network.

 

The Companys Eyewear Division will launch new models, progressively manufactured within to reduce costs, enhance quality, strengthen the supply chain and respond to customer needs faster. It will also focus on standardizing customer experience across stores.

 

With a view to integrate operations and leverage opportunities, the Company appointed regional business heads effective 1st April 2012 to catalyse the growth of various divisions.

 

The new introduction of the Unified Loyalty Programme and the Ecommerce for internet sales will be launched in 2012-13 promising much greater satisfaction and convenience to customers.
