INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit or CAD in April-June widened to 4.9 % of gross domestic product. High imports of gold and oil led to a worsening of the traqde deficit, resulting in CAD jumping to $ 21.8 billion to the latest quarter from $ 16.9 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The government aims to bring down CAD to 3.7 % or $ 70 billion, in 2013/14, from 4.8 % or $ 88.2 billion in 2012/13.

 

The finance ministry has started preparations for Budget 2014/15. With general elections scheduled to be held by May next year, there will only be an interim budget. The new government will present the fiscal Budget.

 

The Supreme Court has barred clinical trials for new drugs till a monitoring mechanism is put in place to protect the lives of people on which the drugs are tested.

 

Mumbai has been named the world’s second most honest city according to a survey on 15 cities worldwide by Readers’ Digest magazine. Finnish capital Helsinki bagged the top spot for the world’s most honest city while Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, proved to be the least honest.  The survey put hundreds of people to test in four continents to find out just how honest they were by dropping wallets and seeing how many would be returned.

 

3.7 % Growth of the core sector in August, a seven month high. This takes the overall growth in April-August this year to 2.3 % compared with 6.3 % in the corresponding period next financial year.

 

$19 million Estimated average spending by companies across the globe including India, on social media this year, according to a global study by information technology major Tata Consultancy Services. This will rise to $ 24 million in 2015.

 

Rising inflation, fewer employment avenues and dwindling earnings are taking a toll on the spending capacity in India. Over 72 % respondents from middle and lower middle income families would be forced to slash their Diwali expenditure by 40 % and on average spend nearly 25 % of their monthly salary on Diwali, according to a survey by Assochem.

 

Analysts believe the shutdown of the US government would have limited impact in sectors such as IT or tourism that are dependent on Visa clearances.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

During the year, The Company’s turnover increased by around 23% to Rs.130540.300 Millions from Rs.106370.300 Millions in the previous year. Across the board, there were positive increases in all segments with an 8% increase in total tyre production. Fluctuations in the raw material prices, increase in power and fuel cost and depreciation of rupee, have impacted the financial performance of the Company. Despite the above, The Company could achieve improved results, considering the challenging circumstances, due to better operating efficiencies and cost cutting measures which the Company has undertaken over a period of time.

 

During the year, The Company commenced production at its new plant at Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu. This new modern plant along with their existing factories will help further consolidate their market leadership.

 

Two interim dividends of Rs. 3 each per share (30% each) for the year ended 30th September, 2012 were declared by the Board of Directors on 25-07-2012 and on 25-10-2012. The Board of Directors is now pleased to recommend a final dividend of Rs. 19 per share (190%) on the paid up equity share capital of the Company, for consideration and approval of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. With this, the total dividend for the entire year works out to Rs. 25 per share (250%). The total amount of dividends aggregates to Rs. 106.000 Millions.

 

After making provision for taxation, debenture redemption reserve and proposed dividend, an amount of Rs. 5312.300 Millions be transferred to General Reserve. With this, the Company’s Reserves and Surplus stands at Rs. 28535.600 Millions.

 

PROSPECTS FOR THE CURRENT YEAR

 

While the demand outlook for tyres appear favourable with an 8 to 10% annual growth forecast, the pressure on margins will continue unless the cost issues are addressed. Most tyre companies are planning capacity expansions especially in the truck radial segment and this development will fuel competition in this segment and the tyre industry in general. The growth of the tyre industry will also depend upon the expansions in the automobile industry and the efforts made by the government to improve the road infrastructure. Also, the government should study the inverted tax issue and take corrective action by providing a level playing field in

the tyre industry.

 

The Company hopes to record satisfactory results on account of MRF’s high brand preference and trust reposed by customers in MRF products.

 

AWARDS RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR

 

During the year, MRF was awarded the “Top Export Award [Auto Tyre Sector]” by the All India Rubber Industries Association (AIRIA) yet another time during the period.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

(Within the limits set by the Company’s competitive position) The core business of MRF is manufacturing, distribution and sale of tyres for various kinds of vehicles. The management discussion and analysis given below discusses the key issues for various sectors of the business.

 

TYRE INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The turnover of the Indian tyre industry is valued at Rs. 410000.000 Millions in the period 2011-2012. Exports accounted for Rs.42000.000 Millions. 1254 lakh tyres were produced by the tyre companies. Seven top companies produce 80% of the total production.

 

Truck and bus tyres constitute 55% of the tyre industry turnover. Around 57% of the turnover is sold in the replacement market which is competitive but margins are better. The OE segment (30% of the turnover) cannot be ignored as volumes are high but margins are less as prices are dependent more on the manufacturers of vehicles. In the passenger car group, 47 % of tyres are sold to OEMs and 49% in the replacement segment.

 

The tyre industry is raw material intensive and predominantly cross-ply or bias-ply tyres are manufactured. The truck, bus and LCV segments continue to be cross-ply based due to poor road conditions, low OE fitment and high initial cost. Passenger tyres are currently 98% radial tyres. Radialisation in the light commercial vehicle group is 22% and in heavy vehicles (truck and bus) the level is 17%. Radialisation in commercial vehicles is expected to grow by 3% to 4% during 2012-13.

 

During 2011-12, in the vehicle manufacturing sector, there has been a decrease of 3% in the production of heavy commercial vehicles and a 30% increase in light commercial vehicles. There was an 8% increase in the small commercial vehicle segment. In the passenger car group, production has remained flat whereas in the utility group, there has been an increase of 39% over the last year. In two wheelers, scooters witnessed a 25% increase whilst in the motorcycle segment production increased by 5%. In the farm segment there was a 2% increase in production over 2010-11.

 

The tyre industry provides direct and indirect employment to one million people including dealers, retreaders and truck operators. The truck operations are controlled by 2.6 million small operators.

 

There are around 5000 tyre dealers spread throughout the country. Most of them sell multiple tyre brands.

 

SEGMENT WISE AND PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

 

During the period 2011-12, MRF achieved a turnover of Rs. 130540.300 Millions. This is an increase of around 23 % over the previous year. Across the board, there were positive increases in all segments with an 8% increase

in total tyre production. In the heavy commercial vehicle group, the largest segment, the increase was 7% over the last year. In the motorcycle and scooter segments, the increases over the previous year were 9% and 26% respectively. The passenger car group registered an increase of 7%. In the farm group, production increased in the tractor front group by 6% and by 18% in the tractor rear categories.

 

EXPORTS

 

Facing global recession and a challenging and competitive year, MRF posted a growth of 56% over the previous year 2010-11. In the year gone by, continued volatility in raw material prices and increased input costs definitely affected margins. MRF’s strong distributor network worldwide and brand presence in key markets contributed to a 23% growth in the heavy commercial vehicle segment.

 

OUTLOOK

 

While the demand outlook for tyres appear favourable with an 8 to10% annual growth forecast, the pressure on margins will continue unless the cost issues are addressed. Most tyre companies are planning capacity expansions especially in the truck radial segment and this development will fuel competition in this segment, and the tyre industry in general. The growth of the tyre industry will also depend upon the expansions in the automobile industry and the efforts made by the Government to improve the road infrastructure. Also, the Government should study the inverted tax issue and take corrective action by providing a level playing field for the tyre industry.

 

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

 

The sales turnover of the Company during the year increased by around 23% from Rs. 106370.300 Millions in 2010-11 to Rs.130540.300 Millions in 2011-12. Earnings before depreciation and interest (EBIDTA) amounted to Rs. 12930.100 Millions against Rs. 8347.200 Millions in the previous year. After providing for depreciation and interest, the profit before tax for the year ended 30th September 2012 was Rs. 8331.200 Millions as compared to Rs. 4894.200 Millions in the previous year. During the previous year 2010-11, there was an exceptional credit of Rs. 4042.300 Millions representing reversal of excess depreciation of earlier years, due to change in method of depreciation from Written Down Value (WDV) to Straight Line Method (SLM). After making provision for income tax, the net profit for the year stood at Rs. 5723.600 Millions as compared to Rs. 6194.200 Millions in the previous year.
