THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Unemployment, at less than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world, which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai government is implementing a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum wage policy and deploying new tax reforms designed to lower rates on middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external economic shocks in recent years. The global economic recession severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In late 2011 Thailand's recovery was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. The government approved flood mitigation projects worth $11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage, and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the following seven years

BUSINESS  OPERATIONS

 

The  subject’s  activity  is  a  manufacturer  of  premium  cold-rolled  stainless  steel  sheets  and  coils,  which are  divided  into  2  product  types:  cold  rolled  austenitic  stainless  steel  and  cold  rolled  ferritic  stainless  steel.  Both  types  have  around  0.30 mm.-3  mm. of  thickness  and  30  mm.- 1,265 mm. of  width. 

 

1.  Cold  Rolled  Austenitic  Stainless  Steel

 

This  type  of  stainless  steel  is  non-magnetic.  In  addition  to  chromium,  typically  at  a  level  of  1-14%,  austenitic  stainless  steel  contains  nickel,  which  increases  corrosion  resistance  and  makes  it  easy  to  fabricate.  This  is  the  most  widely  used  type  of  stainless  steel.  Over  70%  of  stainless  steel  consumed  in  Asia is  austenitic  grade.  INOX  main  products  in  this  category  include  grade  304 304L  and  grade  316L.

2.  Cold  Rolled  Ferritic  Stainless  Steel

 

This  is  a  magnetic  type of  stainless  steel.  It  has  a  low  carbon  content  and  contain  chromium  as  a  main  element,  typically  at  a  level  of  16%-18%.   Ferritic  steel  has  slightly  higher  yield  strength  than  austenitic  steel;  therefore,  ferritic  steel  finds  greater  use  where  there  is  a  risk  of  stress-corrosion  cracking.  INOX  main  products  in  this  category  included  grade  409,  430  and  grade  439.

 

Its  products are used  in various  industries  especially  automotive  assembling,  construction,  foods  containers,  household  equipments  and  electronic  products  both domestic and  overseas  around  60%  and  40%  respectively.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 5.95 and 8.49 in 2013 and 2012 respectively. This ratio measures the efficiency of the company in managing its trade debtors to generate revenue. A lower ratio may indicate over extension and collection problems. Conversely, a higher ratio may indicate an overtly stringent policy. In this case, the company's A/R ratio in 2013 decreased from 2012. This would suggest the company had deteriorated in the management of its debt collections.

Inventory is particularly sensitive to change in business activities. The inventory turnover in days has increased from 110 days at the end of 2012 to 126 days at the end of 2013. This represents a negative trend. And Inventory turnover has decreased from 3.32 times in year 2012 to 2.91 times in year 2013.
