Comments :

Subject is a well established company having a moderate track record.

 

Eventhough the revenue of the company has seen a better increase during 2012, there appear huge losses incurred by the management for past some year which has heavily deteriorated its reserves position.

 

However, trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payment terms are reported as slow but correct.

 

The company can be considered for business dealings with some caution.

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.

GLOBAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

The Indian IT outsourcing sector's exports are expected to grow by 12-14 per cent in the financial year starting April 2013. The sector is expected to clock revenues of $84-87 billion in the current financial year on the rising global technology spends, according to the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM).

 

Cranes broadly operates in three distinct markets namely, Business Intelligence, Engineering Products and Services and Vocational Training. Given below are forecasts from independent market research groups for these markets.

 

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

 

According to new research from market watcher Pringle and Company, the global market for business intelligence

(BI) software services will roughly double over the next four years, from $76 billion in 2012 to $143 billion in 2016.

Tom Pringle, the company's principal analyst, says this growth is being driven by the universal applicability of business intelligence systems.

 

Global Engineering Service Outsourcing As for the Global Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) market TechNavio's analysts forecast is that it will grow at a CAGR of 25.78 percent over the period 2012-2016. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the need for cost reduction. The Global ESO market has also been witnessing the emergence of India as a key ESO destination.

 

VOCATIONAL TRAINING

 

According to Research and Markets, the Vocational Training Market in India is worth approximately USD 1.6 bn and is estimated to be growing at 25% per annum. Every year, about 0.165m students are estimated to undergo vocational training apprenticeships. India has one of the world's most youthful population and there are over 310 million people aged between 15 to 25 years. Here lies the significance of vocational education along with other higher education systems being imparted in the country.

 

Relying upon these trends, Cranes has in the past one year witnessed growth in areas such as Business Intelligence and Engineering Services in the Automobile, Transportation Sectors. Though Cranes Software sustained a loss in the overall, the Company has, in the past one year, remained operationally near profitable. The Company now plans to capitalize on this growing business demand and emerge as a leading global software product and solutions Company in the lucrative space of Engineering Services and Simulation, Vocational Training and Enterprise Data Analytics / Business Intelligence.

 

THE YEAR

 

Over the last couple of years, Company management has worked earnestly towards re-building the organization from its years of business downturn and has been successful in maximizing its strengths and leveraging its inherent capabilities of business transformation. In the year under review, the Company has been re-establishing itself in the areas of Business Intelligence, Engineering Services and Vocational Training. The Company continues to improve operational effectiveness, optimize costs and increase market reach both on a standalone basis and through its subsidiaries. These initiatives have positively impacted the current year business revenues and operating margins.

 

In the past year, their endeavor has also been to improve customer bandwidth and increase product and service offerings. This includes expanding their product range, partnering with partners to penetrate into new business areas, launching new products upgrades in the Engineering products and services area. For example, in the Business Intelligence domain, the Company aggressively launched its, one of a kind, BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE STORE REAL-TIME OPERATIONS (BISTRO). BISTRO is an applications store that provides a new approach to the complex, unwieldy world of BI software and solutions. The Company also launched a variety of business applications using the SAAS model to address a broad range of application needs of the customer.

 

On a standalone basis, the Company has refocused and realigned its India-centric operation to that of training and education. This part of the business has been the major revenue earner for the stand-alone business over the past couple of years. The businesses includes student training, third party alliances, own product sales andcorporate training. During the year, the Company relocated its training operations into its own premises in Bangalore.  The students now enjoy a new state-of-the-art infrastructure supplemented with better lab facilities and training products. Going forward, the Company plans to re-establish its relationships with academia and bring active partnerships from the corporate sector as well. The Company has launched new courses relevant to current market trends which has created a fresh demand. The Company also continues to maintain and build on its Strategic Partnerships and Alliances with leading Companies like National Instruments, IBM, ARM and Texas

Instruments, leading to sustained revenues.

 

For its standalone operations, the Company has put in place effective measures to control the cost of goods, optimization of manpower and other overheads. However, extraordinary expenditures include provision towards bad debts (Rs 1,480 million -compared to previous year's expenses of Rs 650 million) contributed adversely to increase total expenditure from Rs. 1,378.34 million to Rs 1,706.85 million.

 

Excluding these extraordinary expenditures the operations yielded a marginal loss of Rs 15.9 million at EBITDA level.

 

The Company, in the mean while, is also constantly working on improving its balance sheet position. The Companis under active discussion with all secured and unsecured lenders for the purposes of restructuring/ closure of debts and has finalized debt closure agreements with several additional nationalized banks. The Company will continue to pursue various means through which it can sustain operational profitability and reduce debt exposure through external funds infusion.
