INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The current downturn provides an opportunity to push ahead with reforms to accelerate growth, says the latest India Development Update report released by the World Bank. The report says that the adverse effects of rupee depreciation are likely to be offset by the gains in the exports performance due to improved external competitiveness. Since May this year, the local currency has depreciated substantially and fell to a record level of Rs 68.85 to a dollar on August, 28.

 

A stagflation like situation appears to have arisen as inflation jumped to an eight month high of 6.46 % for the month of September. It is up from 6.10 % in August. Growth continues to be muted with factory output plunging to 0.6  % in August. Onion prices have risen nearly 300 % from last September. Vegetables cost nearly 90 % more than they did last year. Wake up to the economic contribution of slum dwellers. They contribute more than 7.5 % to the country’s gross domestic product, according to a recent study conducted in 50 top cities.

 

136000 estimated number of jobs created during the second quarter of the current financial year. 50000 estimated number of additional jobs in the field of corporate social responsibility in the coming years.

 

The International Finance Corporation expects to come out with its rupee linked bonds issue before the end of 2013 as a part of its plan to raise $ 1 billion. The Apple iPhone 5c (Rs 41900 for 16 GB variant) and 5s (Rs 53500 for 16GB variant) has been launched in India from 1st November.

 

The Land Acquisition Act to provide just and fair compensation to farmers will come into force from January 1 next year, said Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh. The Act replaces a 119 year old registration. The Securities and Exchange Board of India has approved the trading of currency futures on the Bombay Stock Exchange. The exchange plans to launch the currency futures platform with advanced trading technology by the end of November.

DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA

 

-            From time immemorial, India is well known in the world as the birthplace for diamonds.  It is difficult to trace the origin of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th Century B.C.  India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of S. Africa, Russia and Australia.

-            The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires, supported by progressive Government policies.

-            The area of study of family owned diamond businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.

-            Some of the basic traits of family run business enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage and philanthropy.

-            Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.

-            Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and capital markets.

-            Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th October 2010 is as under –

 

-            Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council in its statistical data has shown the export of polished diamonds to have increase by 28 % in February 2013. Compared to $ 1.4 bn worth of polished diamond export in February, 2012, India exported $ 1.84 billion worth of polished diamonds in February 2013. A senior executive of GJEPC said, “Export of cut and polished diamonds started falling month-wise after the imposition of 2 % of import duty on the polished diamonds. But February, 2013 has given a new ray of hope to the industry as the export of polished diamonds has actually increased by 28 %. It means the industry  is on the track of recovery and round tripping of diamonds has stopped completely.” Demand has started coming from the US, the UK, Japan and China. India’s polished diamond export is expected to cross $ 21 bn in 2013-14.

 

-            The banking sector has started exercising restraint while following prudent risk management norms when lending money to gems and jewellery sector. This follows the implementation of Basel III accord – a global voluntary regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market liquidity.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The purpose of this discussion is to provide an understanding of Subject financial results and business performance by focusing on changes in certain key measures from year to year.

 

 

THE GLOBAL ECONOMY AND THE DIAMOND INDUSTRY

 

The global economy has not had a bumper year. The extent to which growth in emerging markets can compensate for weaknesses in mature ones has diminished with each crisis. The Euro-zone catastrophe has spread across European borders, along with resulting concerns about its global impact. Similarly, trends in the U.S. have done little to spur confidence. U.S. is teetering on another recession as job growth fails to materialize; government spending remains high and the last round of quantitative easing did little to stimulate growth. Output in the Eurozone continues to slump as the debt crisis just won't go away.

 

These results have impacted growth projections in important emerging economies such as China. The World Bank revised its forecast for the Chinese economy predicting growth of 9.3 percent in 2011 and 8.7 percent in 2012. Growth is still strong in developing East Asia, but continues to moderate mainly due to weakening external demand. Increasingly, China is expected to strengthen its own domestic consumption to compensate for a slowdown in exports to the U.S. and Europe.

 

More relevant now is the impact that a global economic slowdown may have on the diamond industry. By most measures, growth in the trade outpaced that of other sectors and the general economy in 2011, driven by the strong trading in the first half of the year and despite weak consumer confidence. The diamond industry is enjoying a period of rising customers due to the increasing emergence of markets in India and China.

 

However, in the current economic environment, the fact is that in the diamond market a lower volume of goods is being traded for higher values. For example, while Hong Kong's polished diamond imports by value rose 33 percent year on year to $13.32 billion in the first nine months of 2011, by volume they fell 2 percent to 20.962 million carats. The average price of these goods was up 36 percent from a year earlier.

 

If global economic growth is set to slow in 2012, it will impact demand, prices and, most importantly, sentiment in the diamond industry throughout the year, as it did in the latter half of 2011. The new economic environment makes for stressful, but interesting, times indeed. A correction in diamond prices might strengthen to consumer demand.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

In the short term, they expect rough diamond prices to fall and price stability to return. They also don't see a major decline in polished diamond prices. These two factors together shall ensure a healthy profit margin in the diamond manufacturing and polishing business.

 

They also expect a revival in demand from Hong Kong and Mainland China. America has not seen a major decline in demand and has been supportive unlike during 2008 and this has been a big positive. They expect American demand to remain stable. The Indian diamond market should also see an increase in demand as they approach the wedding and festival season.

 

 

COMPANY'S GOAL

 

Lypsa intends to become a fully integrated and profitable diamond company in the next 3 years. They intend to go down the value chain and become closer to the customer through retail diamond and jewelry sales and thereby increase profit margins. They intend to build a well-managed corporate organization with standard processes and controls, competent management and reduced dependency on the promoters to generate revenue - features that are quite unique to Indian diamond companies.

 

 

BUSINESS MODEL

 

Lypsa is in the process of increasing production capacity at its new factory in Navsari, Gujarat. A factory is also proposed in Gujarat to produce small sized diamonds at affordable cost. This year will see substantial revenue from manufacturing activities. This is in line with their aim of generating maximum revenue from the manufacturing business that allows higher value-add than the trading business.

 

In house manufacturing reduces the variance in cutting standards and allows the steady production of a high quality standard product, which is valued higher by traders, jewelers and consumers. It also safeguards against the possibility of theft and malpractice, which are a common occurrence in outsourced diamond production.

 

 

DIAMOND VALUE CHAIN OVERVIEW: A JOURNEY 'FROM MINE TO FINGER'

 

Eight stages define the value chain in the diamond industry; beginning with the exploration of a potential diamond deposit and ending with the demand for diamonds by millions of consumers around the world. Along the way many different players-miners, dealers, craftspeople, jewelers-face distinct market dynamics and economic challenges.

 

 

EXPLORATION

 

In this stage producers seek commercially viable diamond resources, usually by finding and evaluating kimberlite and lamproite pipes that might contain diamond ore. When a promising site is located the producers develop and construct new mines.

 

 

PRODUCTION

 

Getting the diamondiferous ore out of the ground usually occurs through open-pit or underground mining. Alluvial and marine mining are two other methods of diamond production. Once mined, the diamond ore passes through various processing stages to extract rough diamonds from it.

 

 

ROUGH-DIAMOND SALES

 

Next producers inspect, classify and prepare the diamonds for rough-diamond sales. London, Moscow and Antwerp are the main centers for the purchase and trade of rough diamonds. These primary sales most often take place within the sightholder system, a system specific to the diamond industry in which a select group of verified buyers are allowed to purchase rough product. Other sales channels include auctions and spot sales.

 

 

CUTTING AND POLISHING

 

This stage, in which diamonds are transformed from rough stones into finished gems, comprises five steps: determining the optimal cut, cleaving or sawing to break the rough diamond into pieces, bruiting to give the diamond the desired shape, polishing to cut the facets and final inspection to ensure quality. Diamond cutting requires specialized knowledge, tools and equipment. Thousands of small players populate this segment of the industry, mostly in India and elsewhere in Asia. Governments are increasingly requiring diamond producers to keep some profits closer to home by developing a local infrastructure and talent, with the result that countries including Botswana are emerging as cutting and polishing centers.

 

 

POLISHED DIAMOND SALES

 

Polished diamonds get sold to manufacturers for jewelry manufacturing. The sales are transacted either directly by cutters and polishers or through dealers. Antwerp is the key polished diamond sales center, and all major diamond players maintain a presence there. Most of the polished gem sales also take place in Antwerp, but recently the site of sale is shifting closer to jewelry manufacturers in India and China, with many companies opening regional offices.

 

 

JEWELRY MANUFACTURING

 

Manufacturers use both in-house and outside designers to create their product, and the sector is quite fragmented. Thousands of players ranging from individual shops to large companies such as Tiffany, Cartier and Chow Tai Fook are integrated into different steps of the value chain, from rough diamond sales to jewelry design and manufacturing to retail. A large share of the mid- to low-range jewelry manufacturing takes place in China and India.

 

 

RETAIL SALES

 

More than a quarter million retailers sell jewelry to consumers around the world. Retail channels include independent stores, mass-market chains such as Wal-Mart for low-end jewelry and high-end specialty chains such as Harry Winston.

 

 

CONSUMER DEMAND

 

Demand is driven by the millions of people around the world who want to own diamond jewelry. At either end of the value chain a handful of well-known public companies operate and earn the industry's highest profits. In the middle of the chain diamonds pass through a complex and fragmented distribution system in which many thousands of individuals and small businesses, almost all privately owned, are bound together in an intricate web of relationships. These cutters, polishers and manufacturers engage in a significant amount of back-and-forth trading. Outsiders who voice concern about the lack of transparency in the diamond industry point specifically to the accuracy of stock-level estimates and to the setting of prices. A comparison with other commodities and precious minerals, however, shows that the diamond industry is not unique. A similar level of uncertainty also surrounds stock levels at key stages of the value chain in the markets for precious metals such as gold, platinum and palladium.

 

As the diamonds pass through each stage of the chain, their value grows in relatively small increments until they reach manufacturing and retail. The highest portion of revenues is generated at the retail stage, with revenues in 2010 slightly exceeding $60 billion worldwide. The highest profit margins are realized in the production and retail segments at either end of the chain. In 2010 players in rough production achieved operating margins of 22 to 26 percent, the highest in the industry. Next highest were the 5 to 10 percent margins achieved by retailers. Margins and revenues are lowest in the middle segments of the value chain. The total industry profit pool was approximately $11 billion in 2010.

 

 

LYPSA'S POSITION IN THE DIAMOND VALUE CHAIN

 

The core activity of Lypsa is cutting and polishing of rough diamonds to convert them into finished stones that can be sold to traders and jewelers. Apart from this, Lypsa also sells rough diamonds in the open market that it procures from its sources if it feels that the profit on rough diamond sale is going to be larger than when postprocessing. Thus, Lypsa is present in the stages from Rough Diamond Sales to Polished Diamond Sales. As stated above, these activities enjoy relatively lower profit margins than retailing and production. Acknowledging this, Lypsa has decided to expand into the retail segment through a foray into jewellery which will allow high profit margins.

 

 

FUTURE PLANS

 

Research has been commissioned to plan the entry of Lypsa in the jewellery space. The growing demand of branded jewellery, higher profit margins than loose diamonds and the broad customer base make the jewellery industry a very attractive forward integration option. At the end of the year, we expect the launch of the jewelry venture.

 

Increasing production capacity has been proposed through expansion of the current facility and setting up of a new factory in Gujarat. A program has been initiated to cut down manufacturing costs without compromising on quality.

 

Setting up of an R&D unit is also on the cards to develop unique diamond cuts. These cuts will be proprietary to Lypsa and will be marketed to retailers.
