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.

NEWSPRINT:

During the year, newsprint prices almost stayed steady. The average newsprint cost worked out to U.S. $ 627 per ton equivalent to 0 29,248 per ton. The supply position continues to be comfortable. The price in 2011-12, is expected to go up.

Newsprint demand has slackened in North America and to a lesser extent in Western Europe. The demand is high in Asia, Eastern European and Latin American countries. Newsprint mills resort to shifting production from newsprint to packing paper or even shutting down the units to balance demand and supply and to sustain profitability levels.

As reported in their previous reports, their newsprint wastage is the lowest in the country, which is a testimonial to the efficiency of their Works and Materials Divisions.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

They had a highly successful year with sales revenue of Rs.4770.000 Millions an all time record with the daily display advertisements contributing 77.5 per cent of the total revenue and classified and personal advertisements contributing 14 per cent of the total revenue.

In the advertisement market, Cochin remains the most vibrant, accounting for about 21.5 per cent of the total revenue and Mumbai and Delhi accounting for 10 per cent each.

Malayala Manorama Daily continues to maintain its market leadership in Kerala.

The high inflation will adversely affect the country's economic progress as it affects growth, entailing a mark down of GDP.

Besides, the World Cup cricket and Indian Premier League would impact adversely on the ad-spend of big advertisers.

CIRCULATION:

The circulation of the Malayala Manorama newspaper has crossed 20 lakh copies. The present print order is 2057500 copies per day. As per the certificate of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, the circulation for July-December, 2010 was 1903331 copies. During the last one year, the circulation of newspaper had an increase of 143164 copies - the highest circulation in the history of Malayala Manorama.

All other publications are also doing well with Manorama Weekly posting Audit Bureau of Circulations certified sale of 5,82,180 copies and The Week 2,04,429 copies during July-December 2010.

It is a matter of satisfaction that The Malayala Manorama Company Limited, is the largest publishing house in the country in terms of number of publications. They have 43 titles. Their publications continue to enjoy tremendous goodwill and support from the readers and advertisers.

Malayala Manorama calendar goes to 2546000 households in Kerala.

Malayala Manorama Daily, Weekly, Bhashaposhini, Karshakasree and the Year Books are brand leaders.

Their corporate theme is Excellence. The focussed circulation strategy coupled with the excellent editorial quality, contributes to their corporate objectives.

MANORAMA ONLINE:

It was yet another good year for Manorama Online reflecting a steady increase in traffic and addition of new verticals. The site registered an all time high traffic of more than a billion page views during the Kerala election results and the monthly figures have averaged over 700 million page views.

The reach of the site has enlarged to 7 million users. They maintained their position as Number One destination on the Web for Malayalees, in this world.

MM TV LIMITED:

Manorama News - the news channel of MM TV Limited, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company - continues its dominance among news channels in Kerala. Manorama News has 47 per cent market share in Advertisement among Malayalam news channels. This premier position is sustained by the quality of the programmes and their novel presentation style, capable of retaining viewer eyeballs.

The Financial results have been better than expected. It is indeed gratifying that the Company could break even and make profits earlier than what was projected, before start-up.

As reported last year, the Company is fully engaged in setting up a General Entertainment Channel which will be on air in late 2011.

FM RADIO:

As per the latest Indian Readership Survey figures -IRS 2011 Quarter 1 - Radio Mango has retained the Number One position with an Average Daily Listenership of 20.27 lakhs taking into consideration its four Radio Stations at Cochin, Trichur, Calicut and Kannur.

Radio Mango is also ranked as the 12th largest in the country in terms of Average Daily Listenership. In South India, Radio Mango, at 7.1 per cent stands second in terms of reach for an FM Radio Station in a State.

As per a latest study done by Indian Market Research Bureau International, Radio Mango stands out as the Number One FM Radio operation within the territory of each of the four stations it operates.

Radio Mango has recorded net profits on their operations which has been a noteworthy achievement. Supporting this achievement has been a healthy 31 per cent increase in revenue as compared to the previous year.
