INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

OVERVIEW AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Indian cement industry witnessed challenging times as a result of low growth led by issues such as high fiscal deficit, high inflation and worsening current account balance. The slowdown in the global growth aggravated the sluggishness in the economy. The industry recorded a growth of approximately 5.6% in FY13 as against 7% in FY12.

Apart from the unfavorable demand-supply scenario, the industry has been also reeling under the pressure of rising input costs. The prices of key raw materials have soared. The rise in domestic coal prices and non-availability of low cost linkage coal has hiked the power and fuel cost for cement manufacturers. Though imported

coal has seen some easing in cost pressures due to the decline in the price of imported coal, the benefit of declining prices has been offset to some extent by rupee depreciation. Nonetheless, the government’s focus on infrastructure development, the robust growth potential in rural housing and softening interest rates augur well for the cement industry.

Against this background, the Company has produced 40.13 MMT of cement as against 39.43 MMT in the previous year. The effective capacity utilisation was 84% as against 83%.

The aggregate sales volume remained flat at 40.7 MMT, while for white cement it was 5.66 LMT (5.55 LMT).

The Company’s net turnover stood at Rs. 200180.000 Millions vis a vis Rs. 181580.000 Millions achieved in the previous year. Profit before interest and tax was at Rs. 40350.000 Millions as against Rs. 36170.000 Millions.

AWARDS

The Company was the recipient of the following awards during the year:

• “Dun and Bradstreet Award” for the best cement Company in India 2012.

• Top Exporter Award from CAPEXIL for the 16th consecutive year.

• IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj National Quality Award – “Performance Excellence Trophy 2012” for Birla White.

• Greentech Environment Excellence Award 2012 from Greentech for Gujarat Cement Works.

• ‘Subh Karan Sarawagi Environment Award’ from the Federation of Indian Mineral Industries for Rajashree Cement Works.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

For the Indian economy, FY13 was a challenging year. GDP growth declined to 5% from 6.2% in the previous year on account of high fiscal deficit, high inflation, worsening current account deficit and slowdown in global economic growth. During the second half of FY13, the government intervened with some policy reforms to stabilize the economy and also took steps to attract foreign direct investment and market based prices for petro products to improve current account deficit. However, concerns exist over containing the high current account deficit, prevailing supply side constraints and inadequate infrastructure investments. Though the long term prospects of the economy look promising, cautious optimism is the feeling in the short to medium term.

The year 2012-13 was tough for the cement industry also. Demand off-take was weaker than expected due to subdued growth in the infrastructure and housing sector. The industry had to confront rising input and logistics costs due to increase in rail freight and hike in diesel prices and high inflation rates. Although prices of imported coal softened, the depreciation in rupee partially offset the benefit.

Nevertheless, India’s growth story is attractive as compared to other advanced and emerging economies. The policy reforms announced by the Government are expected to show results in time to come. Further, the positive outlook for infrastructure, ensuing state and national elections and easing monetary conditions are also expected to drive growth for the cement sector. Long term prospects for cement demand appear to be bright as the economy grows and government efforts are channelised towards the housing and infrastructure sectors as outlined in the 12th five year plan.

Against this background, the Company continues to maintain its leadership position in the cement industry through capacity enhancement, continued focus on operational efficiency and unrelenting sustainability efforts. With its strategic initiatives, the Company is well positioned to march ahead on its growth path.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

During the year, the Company commissioned the clinkerisation plant of 3.30 MMTPA at it’s Unit in Rawan, Chhattisgarh resulting in an increase in clinker capacity to 39.50 MMTPA.

After the commissioning of the cement grinding Unit at Hotgi, Maharashtra with capacity of 1.55 MMTPA and upgrading of grinding capacity at Gujarat Cement Works by 0.60 MMTPA, the Company’s cement capacity has increased from 48.75 MMTPA to 50.90 MMTPA.

Clinker production remained almost flat at the previous year levels, while cement production increased marginally by 2% from 39.43 MMT to 40.13 MMT. Capacity utilisation was at 84%.

White cement production increased by 3% from 5.53 LMT to 5.73 LMT. The Company commissioned a wall care putty plant of 4.0 LMT at Katni, Madhya Pradesh which will further support in enhancing the Company’s footprint in the product segment.

The Company is committed to growth and towards this end the Board at its meeting held today has approved the expansion of capacity at Aditya Cement Works in Rajasthan by 2.9 Mn.Mt including the setting up of two grinding units. This expansion envisages a capital outlay of around Rs.20000.000 Millions to be funded through a mix of internal accrual and borrowings. The additional facility is expected to be commissioned by March, 2015.

With the commissioning of the aforementioned and other projects which are in the pipeline, the Company's cement capacity will rise to 61.45 Mn. Mt.

Outlook

Long term cement demand is likely to grow over 8% in line with GDP growth. The value drivers for growth will continue to be housing demand and infrastructure development.

MR. K.C. BIRLA AND MR. SUSHIL AGARWAL RECOGNISED AT BUSINESS TODAY'S BEST CFO AWARDS

June 2013

Now, in its fourth year, the Business Today Best CFO Awards has created a legacy of success, and reached an aspirational level. The award recognises the people who have perhaps the most difficult job in corporate India — heading the finance department — especially at a time when the economy is struggling, and companies are struggling even more. They have to keep a hawk's eye on the top line, bottom line, shareholder returns, market value, debt levels, and so on. And they are also responsible for their companies' continued financial well-being and future strategies to tackle unanticipated changes in the environment. Which CFOs managed this complex role best? And how did they do it?

Mr. K.C. Birla, CFO, UltraTech Cement

Winner, India’s Best CFO, in the category of Remarkable Leverage Management (Large): A Business Today-Yes Bank survey

The Aditya Birla Group is known for financial prudence. Leverage management at UltraTech is part of the core strategy without in any way compromising growth and business leadership. The foundation of our leverage strategy is to have an efficient capital structure suitable for our industry and to maintain a leadership position. We create efficiency by selective and strategic implementation of projects supported by thoughtful leverage.

Our chairman's philosophy of 'Last man standing, first man forward' is our DNA. So, we work in a way that renders our cost structure very efficient. Consequently, during the downtrend in the economy, we are the last man standing. When the growth cycle starts, our better leverage and cost efficiency enables us to be the first man forward.

We decide leverage based on capital structure, debt servicing and investor requirement, and then arrive at an optimum ratio. One of the cornerstones of our strategy is to maintain the top credit rating for both long-term and short-term debt to ensure that we attract the best proposals from lending agencies at fine pricing levels. Our leverage strategy is applicable not only to borrowings but encompasses treasury, working capital management, including inventory and receivable as well as project management.

Once we decide the quantum of borrowing, based on a number of factors, we opt between rupee or overseas borrowing or international bonds. While we evaluate foreign currency borrowing, we consider the fully hedged cost for decision making. This approach eliminates foreign-exchange losses as is the case with many Indian companies.

Let me drive home two examples of leverage management. First, on an acquisition: ETA Star Cement (Middle East) was acquired using a mix of internal accruals and debt. We have opted for higher leverage for acquiring ETA Star due to a significantly lower interest cost and existence of natural hedge. Debt was largely through international borrowing.

Second, treasury management: We maintain appropriate treasury levels and earn competitive returns. Our treasury returns are among the best in the industry. Our treasury also helps us defer borrowing when interest rates are not in our target range.

As a result of such a strategy our average cost of long-term borrowings has been below 8.5 per cent while short-term borrowings have been at less than eight per cent. The company's debt-to-equity ratio on a consolidated basis is 0.48 while the ratio is 0.17 net of treasury.

Mr. Sushil Agarwal, CFO, Aditya Birla Nuvo

Winner, India’s Best CFO, in the category of Enhancing Competitiveness through M&A: A Business Today-Yes Bank survey

Mergers and acquisitions have been an integral part of Aditya Birla Nuvo's growth. The company traces its origin to a modest beginning with the acquisition of Indian Rayon Corporation in 1963. A decade later, the textiles and insulators businesses were merged with the company.

The company has built many of its key businesses from scratch, such as life insurance and non-banking finance. However, mergers and acquisitions have played a key role in the company's transformational journey from a manufacturing company in the late nineties to a $4.5 billion conglomerate today. For instance, the acquisition of Madura Garments in 2000 spawned India's largest premium branded apparel player. The acquisition of Apple and Alliance mutual fund schemes strengthened the leadership position of Birla Sun Life Asset Management. From being a regional player, Idea Cellular emerged as one of the leading national players, aided by acquisitions including that of Spice Communications in 2008.

In line with the company's vision, the underlying strategy of every merger or acquisition has always been to acquire an established platform in a promising sector, followed by capturing growth potential, deriving synergies and achieving leadership position.

Two of our recent acquisitions are worth mentioning — those of Columbian Chemicals and a controlling stake in Pantaloons Fashion.The acquisition of Columbian Chemicals by Aditya Birla Group was not only aimed at becoming the world's largest carbon black player but also to derive synergistic benefits in logistics, sourcing and technology.

The acquisition of a controlling stake in Pantaloons Fashion by Aditya Birla Nuvo was also in line with our goal to be at the top of the league. It not only extends our footprint into the fast-growing fashion segment but also strengthens our presence in the women’s wear and kids wear segments. The transaction took around 12 months to complete, considering the complexities involved. The carving of Pantaloons Fashion as a separate business unit out of its listed parent was a challenge. The structuring of the transaction to get a controlling stake was also a milestone.

The acquisition provides an established, popular and fast-growing 'Pantaloons' platform, with a prominent hold in eight urban and 23 other cities of India. The customer reach of our retail channel stands expanded to more than 1,300 exclusive brand outlets spanning four million square feet. Pantaloons enjoys the first-mover advantage in several locations across eastern India. This strengthens our geographical presence. Additionally, the acquisition will result in synergies in terms of raw material sourcing, rentals and so on. These benefits will accrue gradually.

Today, each of our businesses, whether grown organically or inorganically, has attained market leadership - led by our continuous thrust and investment in enhancing competitiveness even during tough times. This is evident from the fact that most of our businesses have been consistently outperforming the industry and its peers.

ULTRATECH CEMENT TO ACQUIRE ABG CEMENT’S PLANT IN GUJARAT

UltraTech Cement, a unit of Aditya Birla Group, has started discussions for acquiring an incomplete cement plant located in the state of Gujarat of ABG Cement, according to the reports.

According to a person closer to the matter, the company has appointed investment banking arm of Axis Bank, Axis Capital for advice on the deal to acquire the cement plant. UltraTech Cement has reportedly expressed interest in completing the project and expanding its cement business.

UltraTech is offering Rs. 46600.000 Millions at $130 a tonne but some reports indicate that ABGis seeking 5,008 crore at $156 a tonne for the project. The plant, which will have a total capacity of 6.7 million tonne, is still incomplete and the company will have to invest money to complete the plant before making it operational.

Experts have said that ABG Cement cannot seek a premium price because the project requires additional investment for competition. ABGCL, which is promoted by ABG Cement Holdco Private Limited, has already invested 2,525 crore in the cement plant. The company raised a debt of Rs. 15440.000 Millions for the project and the remaining came from promoter funds and loans. Estimates shows that the cost of the total project is 3,028 crore and it will be operational by the fourth quarter of 2013-14.
