During the year, the Company refinanced its rupee borrowings with one of its existing lenders into an External Commercial Borrowing (ECB). This resulted in conversion of debentures having face value of Rs. 320.300 Millions also into the ECB loan. Further, as per the Common Loan Agreement (“the CLA”) entered with lenders post exit from the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) Scheme, the Company has agreed to pay interest on a monthly/quarterly basis, on debentures held by the erstwhile CDR lenders at a floating rate linked to the base rate of the respective bank prevailing on August 8, 2012, with effect from January 1, 2012, resulting in the interest rates ranging from 12.32% p.a. to 12.75% p.a. The Company is also in the process of sending offer letters to the remaining debenture holders (i.e. other than lenders) giving them, inter alia, an option for prepayment of debentures along with accumulated interest in full. The principal amount of debentures is otherwise payable from December 2014 to June 2018 and accumulated interest from December 2014 to March 2027, with an option to prepay certain portion of interest at a discounted rate. As an alternative, these debenture holders can opt for revising the terms and conditions applicable to debentures in line with the terms contained in the CLA93

 

The Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat has, in response to the Company’s petition, ruled vide its orders dated August 04, 2006 and August 11, 2006 that the interest on certain categories of debentures should be accounted on cash basis. In accordance with the said petition / order, funded / accrued interest liabilities amounting to Rs. 4177.200 Millions (Previous year Rs. 4282.400Millions) as at March 31, 2013 have not been accounted for. This amount carries interest rate ranging from fixed rate of 5% to a floating rate of 12.75% and is repayable from December 2014 to March 2027.

 

b)       The Interest rates for Common Loan Agreement (“the CLA”) (earlier Master Restructuring Agreement (“the MRA”)) loans from Banks and Financial institutions amounting to Rs. 54592.000 Millions (Previous year Rs. 70700.400 Millions) will based on their prime lending rate / base rate LIBOR plus margin (margin ranges from 2.12% to 3.00%) with different repayment installments starting from December 2009 to March 2026.

c)       During the year, the Company exited Corporate Debt Restructuring Scheme resulting in termination of the MRA dated December 17, 2004 and entered into a CLA dated March 25, 2013 with the lenders for the loan facilities which were hitherto being governed by the MRA. The MRA gave an option, subject to consent of lenders, to the Company to prepay certain funded interest loans (the FS loans) of Rs. 24716.300 Millions on or before April 24, 2012 without interest. The FS loan has not been prepaid before April 24, 2012 and is now governed by the CLA.

 

In order to give accounting effect to reflect substance of the transaction, the FS loan was, since inception, measured by the Company in accordance with the principles of IAS 39, Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement, in absence of specific guidance in Indian GAAP to cover the specific situation. In continuance of the above said principle and applying the principle of Accounting Standard AS 30, Financial Instruments, Recognition and Measurement, the FS loan has, upon signing of the CLA, been re-measured since inception, considering present value of cash flows inclusive of interest. Accordingly, the gross liability of Rs. 31638.400 Millions of the FS loans and funded interest thereon as at March 31, 2013 (comprising of Rs. 21263.600 Millions to the banks and Rs. 1,037.48 Millions to the financial institutions) have been measured at Rs. 18338.400 Millions (comprising of Rs. 12343.400 Millions to the banks and Rs. 5995.000 Millions to the financial institutions). Consequently, borrowing cost of Rs. 5367.100 Millions attributable to construction of the Refinery Project based on such re-measurement has been capitalised as part of cost of Fixed Assets and balance borrowing cost of Rs. 1109.400 has been recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

 

The FS Loans of Rs. 24716.300 Millions is repayable in various installments from March 2021 to March 2026 and the Funded Interest thereon as at March 31, 2013 amounting to Rs. 6921.900 Millions is repayable in 40 equal quarterly installments beginning June 30, 2015. A funded interest loan of Rs. 2068.800 Millions (Previous year Rs. 2068.800 Millions) is payable in a single bullet payment in 2031 and is continued to be measured in accordance with the aforementioned principles at Rs. 349.500 Millions (Previous year Rs. 316.700 Millions).

 

d)       Terms Loans amounting to Rs. 45639.700 Millions (Previous year Rs. 40719.000 Millions) carry interest rate linked with respective banks’ prime lending rate / base rate / LIBOR plus margin / liquidity premium and are repayable in installments starting from December 2012 ending in March 2020.

e)       Term loans amounting to Rs. 5340.700 Millions (Previous year Rs. 3062.100 Millions) carry interest rate linked with respective banks prime lending rate/ base rate/LIBOR plus margin and are repayable in installments starting from March 2014 and ending in June 2021.

k)       The pilot project for coal bed methane gas was partially financed by a conditional grant of USD 0.89 million (Previous year USD 0.89 million) and Rs. 23.100 Millions (Previous year Rs. 23.100 Millions) received from a bank. The conditional grant, in terms of the agreement, will be repayable in the event the Company puts the project to commercial use, and repayments to the bank will be based on gross annual sales derived from the commercial exploitation of the project, subject to a maximum repayment of 200% of the conditional grant. Commercial exploitation of the project is dependent upon getting necessary approvals from the Government of India.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Global Economic and Market Overview

 

The global economy is expected to improve gradually with improvement in US economic environment, moderate growth of other emerging market economies like India, China and Brazil and revival in Euro zone and Japan. As per the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) ‘World Economic Outlook’ published in April 2013, global economic growth is progressing to 3.3% in 2013 compared to 3% in 2012. However, the stability and growth prospectus of US economy resulted in flow of money from emerging markets to US and other developed markets which led to sharp depreciation of emerging market’s currencies against USD particularly India which largely depends on import of crude. This has made managing current account deficit a challenge for policy makers.

 

The global economic environment and delay in implementation of key policy decisions by the Government of India (Government) moderated Indian economic growth to 5% during FY 2012-13 from 6.2% in the previous year. While India continues to be one of the fastest growing major economies in the world, in order to sustain a healthy growth rate in the future, the Government needs to quickly address key infrastructural bottlenecks, huge current account deficit and uncertainty with regard to policy and regulatory matters. The economy growth is expected to be back on track in coming year on account of new reforms announced and measures undertaken by the Government to contain current account deficit, high inflation and bring about overall improvement in fiscal consolidation.

 

Oil and natural gas will remain key sources of fuel in the global energy basket in the foreseeable future in spite of global thrust on increasing the share of renewal energy. There will be gradual increase of green / renewal energy and bio-fuels in overall basket of energy mix. However, this is not expected to significantly impact the oil demand. As per International Energy Agency (IEA), oil & natural gas is expected to be around 53% of total energy consumption by year 2030. Hence, the global strategic focus on hydrocarbon fuels will be a key issue for policy makers across the world.

 

World oil demand is expected to grow at around 1 million barrel of oil equivalent per year between 2013 and 2017 with Asia accounting for 55% of the incremental demand growth.  The focus of global energy demand growth has decisively shifted from developed markets to Asian region. Global markets continue to witness closures of refining capacities due to high operating cost, declining growth due to tough economic environment, high maintenance cost to maintain high quality products (Euro V), inability to process heavy and ultra heavy crudes due to environmental restrictions etc. In the last 4 years an average o\f more than 1 mmbbl of refining capacities have been shut down each year. New refinery capacities are being added in Asia and Middle East where demand is expected to grow at a healthy rate; the refineries in this region also have structural cost competitiveness compared to their west counterparts. On net basis, refinery capacity additions in next 2-3 years are expected to be more or less equal to incremental demand which is expected to support the refinery margins.

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Refinery registered an impressive 46% growth in crude processing at 19.77 million metric tones (MMT) compared to 13.50 MMT during the previous financial year. All the new units completed under Train I expansion project were fully stabilized within two to three months of commissioning and the Optimisation project which took there refining capacity from 18 million metric tones per annum (MMTPA) to 20 MMTPA was also completed four months ahead of schedule in June 2012. The Refinery has operated successfully at the enhanced capacity of 20 MMTPA from July 2012 onwards. Detailed information on the operational performance for the financial year is given in the Management Discussion and Analysis which is annexed to the Directors’ Report.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

During the year, with increase in refining capacity, the Company recorded a strong revenue growth of 53% at ` 970680.000 Millions up from Rs. 634280.000 Millions in the previous financial year. The Current Price Gross Refining Margin (CPGRM) for the refinery business also registered a quantum jump at USD7.96 per barrel compared to USD4.23 per barrel for the previous financial year. The Earning before Interest, Depreciation, Tax and Amortization (EBIDTA) for the current financial year increased by 74% to Rs. 36510.000 Millions From ` 21010.000 Millions for previous financial year. This is mainly on account of increase in the sales volume arising due to expansion of Refining capacity from 10.5 MMTPA to 20 MMTPA, higher gross refining margins, increase in other operating income which is partially offset by MTM provision on commodity hedging. Further in the previous year, even though the income arising out of defeasement of sales tax incentive amounting to Rs. 778.25 was part of EBITDA, this was reversed and shown as exceptional item. For the financial year ended March 31, 2013, the loss after tax decreased marginally due to higher EBITDA as explained above offset by increase in interest and depreciation expenses post completion of Refinery expansion, which was treated as part of expenditure during construction in the previous year. Exceptional items for the previous year mainly represents reversal of sales tax incentive income post litigation of this matter and provision for impact towards exit from Corporate Debt Restructuring mechanism (CDR exit) whereas in the current year it only represents the additional impact on CDR exit. The Company reported net loss after tax (after exceptional items) for current financial year at Rs. 11800.000 Millions as against previous year figure of Rs. 12850.000 Millions. In the absence of profits during the financial year, the Board has not recommended any dividend for the year.

 

The Sales tax matter has been resolved and concluded with the final judgment of Supreme Court on September 13, 2012. The Company is required to pay balance sales tax liability in two years with 10% interest. The Company has successfully tied up for term loan facility with a Bank to mitigate the liquidity risk of payment of sales tax liability.

 

The Company’s exit from CDR mechanism is another crucial landmark achieved by the Company towards the end of the financial year.

PRESS RELEASE

 

ONGC, ESSAR OIL SHORTLISTED TO BID FOR IRAQ'S NASSIRIYA FIELD

 

September 03, 2013

 

Two firms were among 5 companies that Iraq added to previously shortlisted 7 global energy giants for the development of the Nassiriya oil field

State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) and Essar Oil have been shortlisted to bid for development of Iraq's $4.4 billion Nassiriya oil field and the construction of a new 300,000 barrels per day refinery.

The two firms were among five companies that Iraq added to previously shortlisted 7 global energy giants for the development of the Nassiriya oil field and the construction of a dedicated export refinery as one package.

Besides ONGC and Essar, the new bidders added are Russia's Rosneft, Maurel and Prom of France, and South Korea's GS Engineering and Construction, according to Iraq's Oil Ministry.

Iraq had in March shortlised seven firms including Reliance Industries to bid for the project. Others shortlisted then included French energy giant Total, Russia's Lukoil, CNPC of China and American firm Brown Energy.

Russia's Zarubezhneft and JGC and Tonen General of Japan were the other two shortlisted in March from 14 companies that expressed interest in taking up the multi-billion dollar project.

All the 12 qualified firms will now be invited to review data packages and discuss contract terms. Iraq intends to award the project by year end.

The OPEC nation has three main refineries - Baiji, Daura and Basra -- with a total capacity of around 567,000 barrels per day (bpd). It wants to increase the refining capacity to 750,000 bpd through improvements in existing plants.

It also plans four new refineries in Karbala, Kirkuk, Missan and in Nassiriya.

"The Al-Nasiriya Integrated Project contemplates the development of the 4-plus billion barrel Nasiriya oil field in Thi-Qar province together with the construction and operation of a new 300,000 bpd refinery," Iraq's Petroleum Contracts and Licensing Directorate (PCLD), part of the Ministry of Oil, said.

The international engineering and construction firm Foster Wheeler recently completed a Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study for the refinery.

The Nasiriya project marks re-entry of RIL into Iraq.

The company's Dubai-based arm Reliance Exploration and Production DMCC had in 2007 taken a 100 per cent stake in the Rovi and Sarta blocks in Kurdistan.

Baghdad termed the award of exploration contract to RIL and other firms by the autonomous Kurdistan region as illegal and threatened to blacklist any firm that dealt with the Kurds.

A year after the blacklisting threat, RIL did not apply for being shortlisted for development of oil fields in Iraq.

Thereafter, it did not figure in the list of companies applying to bid for successive licensing rounds of Iraq.

RIL finally got rid of the Kurd blocks in July last year when it sold its stake to Chevron Corp for an undisclosed sum.

ESSAR OIL IN RED ON RUPEE VOLATILITY

August 15, 2013

 

Board appoints Prashant Ruia as Non-Executive Chairman

 

Negative forex fluctuations arising out of 10% rupee depreciation during the first quarter of this fiscal has lead to Essar Oil reporting a net loss of Rs 8630.000 Millions.

 

Net loss has however, narrowed 43% as compared to the first quarter last fiscal when Essar Oil reported a net loss of Rs 15180.000 Millions. The company had reported net profit of Rs 2000.000 Millions during the fourth quarter of last fiscal.

 

“The quarter was marked by rupee volatility, which has impacted our profitability due to mark-to-market provisions. Due to prudent risk management policy followed by us, there are no cash losses," said Suresh Jain, CFO, Essar Oil.

 

A press statement from the company said it follows a very prudent risk management policy to hedge all its risks against currency fluctuations. As a result, the forex variations are mostly of mark-to-market nature, which is recoverable through sales or gross refining margin (GRM) in next quarters and hence have cash and earning neutral impact during the full financial year.

 

Essar Oil posted a 12% increase in revenue at Rs 247210.000 Millions against Rs 221090.000 Millions during in the correspoding previous quarter. The company's GRM for the quarter stood at $7 per barrel against $4.69 per barrel during April-June quarter of 2012.

 

For the quarter, the refinery processed 5.14 metric million tonnes (MMT) of crude, up 15% against the corresponding last quarter. The refinery continues to function at over its nameplate capacity of 20 MMTPA for the last four consecutive quarters with all units stabilized. During the quarter, the refinery operated at 103% of its capacity. Share of ultra heavy crude in refinery’s crude diet rose to 56% in the reporting quarter from 48% in the same period last year.

 

“The refinery has demonstrated excellent operating performance with a very strong focus on safety and has consistently outperformed the targeted benchmark IEA margins. Going forward, we are looking to further strengthen our retail business as the deregulation of diesel is eventually in sight based on regular increase in the retail prices," said LK Gupta, Managing Director and CEO, Essar Oil.

 

"We continue on our path to dollarize our debt and have converted rupee term loans into equivalent foreign currency debt of $340 million through ECBs /Swaps, taking our total dollarized debt to $821 million, in line with RBI approval. Besides providing interest saving, this also enhances our liquidity position,” Jain added.

Marketing operations


Essar Oil continues to focus on the domestic market, with domestic sales contributing about 70% to its revenues during the quarter. The company has re-entered the bulk diesel market, which recently was deregulated.

 

The recent move of government towards full deregulation of auto fuels will create value for our retail business. The company sees great potential in retail for value creation as the country moves towards deregulation of diesel. Essar Oil has about 1400 retail outlets across the nation, with another 200 more in various stages of commissioning, and is now considering further expansion plans in view of reasonable certainty of deregulation of diesel in future


With two ALPG and CNG pumps opened during the quarter, 32 Essar Oil pumps now offer multi fuel options to customers.

Exploration and Production (E and P)


At Essar Oil’s flagship Raniganj CBM block, current gas production is around 100,000 standard cubic metres per day (scm/d). The company has completed drilling 165 wells. Stage III environment clearance for 618 wells has been received. Production is expected to reach 3 million scm/d by next year.

 

With the new gas price regime kicking in from April 01, 2014, gas price is expected to be much better from current $4.2 / mmbtu. We see this as a welcome reform by the GOI, which would boost investments in the E&P sector followed by ramp up in production, curb expensive imports, promote exploration and increase government revenues. This will also be positive for E&P companies as their profitability increases and also the new gas fields will become viable.

 

Essar Oil board today approved the appointment of Mr Prashant Ruia as the Non Executive Chairman of the company, taking over from Mr Shashi Ruia, who steps down. Mr Prashant Ruia, 44, is also the Chairman of Essar Energy Plc, the parent company of Essar Oil.
