INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

The Company was incorporated on January 10, 1966 under the laws of the Republic of India and has its registered office at Udaipur (Rajasthan). Subject’s shares are listed on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. Subject is mainly engaged in the mining and smelting of non-ferrous metals in India.

The Company also has wind power plants in the State of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and Maharashtra.

 

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

We reported net revenue from operations of Rs.  127000.000 Millions, an increase of 11% compared to FY 2012. The increase was primarily on account of increased silver sales and INR depreciation, partially offset by lower metal prices. The Company achieved profit before depreciation, interest and tax (PBDIT) of Rs.  84960.000 Millions In FY 2013, up 12%, benefiting from higher sales and other income, partially offset by higher operating costs.

 

Mined metal production during the year was 870,200 MT compared to 830,432 MT in the previous year. The higher mined metal production was primarily due to higher output at Rampura Agucha.

 

Integrated refined zinc production this year was 659,971 MT, compared to 752,265 MT in FY 2012. The decline in zinc metal production was mainly on account of uneven distribution of mined metal production during the year with the second half much stronger than the first half, as per the mine plan. We addressed it by selling 61,097 MT of zinc mined metal in the second half. The total refined zinc production was 676,921 MT in FY 2013, compared to 758,716 MT in FY 2012.

 

We performed extremely well in total refined lead and silver production, which are the highest ever at 124,816 MT and 408 MT – up 26% and 69% – respectively. Of this, integrated refined lead production was 106,753 MT and integrated silver production was 322 MT, up 20% and 36%, respectively. Production of refined lead and silver was boosted significantly by higher contribution from Sindesar Khurd mine and full year of production at Dariba lead smelter and the new refineries in the state of Uttarakhand.

 

Their generation from captive power plants in FY 2013 declined by % to 3,363 million units, compared to that in FY 2012. There wind power generation was up 52% at 511 million units, compared to that in FY 2012, boosted by addition of new wind mills.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company reported record profits of Rs.  68990.000 Millions for the year, up 25% from the previous year. This was primarily on account of higher sales and other income, partially offset by higher operating costs.

 

The Company’s financial performance has been discussed in detail in ‘Management Discussion and Analysis’, which forms a part of this Annual Report

 

PROJECTS

 

During the year, we announced their plan for next phase of growth to position the Company to deliver superior performance in future. Based on long-term evaluation of assets and in consultation with mining experts, this growth plan will involve sinking of underground shafts and developing underground mines. These growth projects will result in an increase in mined metal production capacity from 1.0 million MT per annum to 1.2 million MT per annum. The growth plan includes:

 

·         Development of 3.75 million MT per annum underground mine at Rampura Agucha

·         Expansion of Kayad mine, an extension of Rampura Agucha block to 1.0 million MT per annum,

·         Expansion of Sindesar Khurd mine from 2.0 million MT per annum to 3.75 million MT per annum

·         Expansion of Rajpura Dariba mine from 0.9 million MT per annum to 1.2 million MT per annum

·         Expand Zawar Mine from 1.2 million MT per annum to 5.0 million MT per annum

·         Development of 0.5 million MT per annum underground mine at Bamnia Kalan, an extension of Sindesar Khurd block

 

The mines will be developed using best-in-class technology and equipment and in consultation with leading global mine experts, ensuring the highest level of productivity at the lowest cost. The projects will be completed in six years. The benefits of expansion projects will start flowing in from the third year, even as projects will continue till FY 2019. Annual capital expenditures for these projects will average US$ 250 million a year over the next six years

PRESS RELEASE:

 

VEDANTA HOPEFUL OF GOVT TAKING RS 216000.000 MILLIONS DIVESTMENT BAIT

 

October 15, 2013

 

Vedanta Group currently holds 64.9 percent stake in HZL and 51 percent in Balco. It proposed the government on January 2012 to acquire the entire residual stake for Rs. 172000.000 Millions valuing the combined stake at USD 3.2 billion at the then currency rate.

 

Anil Agarwal’s Vedanta Resources has sought shareholder nod to extend the offer to acquire residual government stakes in Hindustan Zinc Limited and Balco.  Vedanta shareholders will meet on October 30 to renew an enabling resolution that will allow the group cos’ to buy the remaining stake in HZL and Balco from government of India, reports CNBC-TV18's Sajeet Manghat

 

Vedanta Group currently holds 64.9 percent stake in HZL and 51 percent in Balco. It proposed the government on January 2012 to acquire the entire residual stake for Rs. 172000.000 Millions valuing the combined stake at USD 3.2 billion at the then currency rate. It proposed to acquire HZL stake for USD 2.938 billion and Balco stake for USD 338 million.

 

In August 2012, it sought from the shareholder enabling powers to spend up to USD 3.369 billion to acquire the residual stake in both the companies. These powers lapsed in August this year. And though Vedanta does not have certainty on whether the government will accept its offer, it is keeping itself ready to save time in case government relents.

 

The London Stock Exchange listed parent is seeking shareholder nod to extend the offer by another year by seeking a spending limit of USD 3.482 billion. This limit includes USD 487 million it plans to pay for Balco. In rupee terms, Vedanta arm Sesa Goa will spend up to Rs 216350.000 Millions at current USD-INR rates to acquire these stakes.

 

This is higher by 15% as compared to August 2012 spending limit and higher by 26% when compared to its offer to government in January 2012. Vedanta has reduced the valuation of Balco from USD 550 million last August to USD 487 million this time around.

 

While the headroom to hike stake in HZL is very limited, since it will breach the 75% minimum public shareholding regulation, it will have upto 12 months to divest nearly 19.4% stake to bring the stake back to below 75%. Vedanta says in case it fails to divest its stake to meet the MPS guideline, it will seek additional 1 year extension from SEBI.

 

The entire stake will be bought using internal cash accruals of group company Sesa Goa. Vedanta had indicated during the group restructuring that residual stake acquisition will be led by SesaGoa.

 

The question now is whether the government will take the bait. The offer is 26.8% higher that the Jan 2012 offer. But it does have a lot of ‘Ifs’ and ‘Buts’ attached. The government will have to seek amendment to Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 as per the advice of the Law Ministry before it proceeds on this path of divestment. Both HZL and Balco were nationalised under the Act of the Parliament in 1960s and hence amendments have to be made under the Act before residual stake process is completed.

 

On October 18, 2013, at 10:05 hrs Hindustan Zinc was quoting at Rs 132.65, up Rs 2.20, or 1.69 percent. The 52-week high of the share was Rs 146.80 and the 52-week low was Rs 94.00.

 

The company's trailing 12-month (TTM) EPS was at Rs 16.52 per share as per the quarter ended June 2013. The stock's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was 8.03. The latest book value of the company is Rs 76.39 per share. At current value, the price-to-book value of the company was 1.74.

GOVT TO SELL HINDUSTAN ZINC STAKE THROUGH AUCTION, CABINET NOTE SOON

 

The government has decided to sell its remaining stake in Hindustan Zinc through auction route as it strives to meet the disinvestment target, and a formal proposal to the Cabinet in this regard will be sent soon, official sources said.

 

The sources further said that selling remaining 29.5 per cent residual stake in Hindustan Zinc, which is now controlled by Anil Agarwal’s Vedanta Resources, is expected to fetch about Rs. 15,0000.000-20,0000.000 millions.

 

In this year’s Union Budget, government had set a target of raising about Rs. 55,0000.000 millions from disinvestment. Of this, Rs. 40,0000.000 millions was estimated to come through part-sale of stake in public sector firms and Rs. 15,0000.000 millions from selling residual stakes that government holds in some firms, including Hindustan Zinc and Balco.

 

So far, the government has managed to mop up only about Rs. 2,8000.000 millions through disinvestment of PSU shares, including the just concluded follow-on public offer of Power Grid Corporation.

 

“There was a broad consensus with the Finance Ministry’s views on HZL stake sale issue in the last week’s meeting chaired by the Prime Minister that stake sale in Hindustan Zinc should happen through the auction route. A formal Cabinet note on the matter will be circulated soon,” a source said.

 

Earlier, the Finance Ministry had opined that Hindustan Zinc is no more a public sector company and selling shares through auction route does not require Parliament nod, while responding to the draft Cabinet note of Mines Ministry.

 

This view, however, was in contrast to those of Mines Ministry. The Law Ministry had also supported the Mines Ministry that selling residual stake in the zinc producer will require a Parliament nod as it was incorporated through a statute.

 

Currently the government holds 29.5 per cent stake in Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) and 49 per cent stake in Bharat Aluminium Company (Balco). Majority stake in the two erstwhile PSUs was sold to Vedanta group during 2001-2003 by the then NDA government.

 

Current market valuation for remaining government stake in HZL is about Rs. 16,0000.000 millions. However, the valuation of Balco has been a bone of contention and a case is pending in Delhi High Court on exercise of call options (that allows a company to acquire additional shares at a later stage) by Vedanta.

 

Last month, Vedanta chairman Anil Agarwal had said that Vedanta has received positive “indications” from government on the matter and it may happen soon.

 

“We are getting the indications but it is a democratic process. Sometimes it gets delayed but it will happen,” Mr. Agarwal said.

 

The company, which maintains that selling of residual stakes by the government is merely “housekeeping” work, has been trying for long to acquire remaining stakes in the two firms for having a total control.

 

In October, Vedanta had renewed the shareholders nod for making offers to the government up to Rs. 21,6370.000 millions ($ 3.482 billion) for acquiring remaining shares in the two firms.

 

The upper ceiling is a nearly-40 per cent increase from Vedanta’s January 2012 offer of Rs. 15,4930.000 millions. If the company makes the offer at that level for HZL’s remaining stake, it would help the government meet over 39 per cent of the disinvestment target for the current fiscal.

 

Besides, it will be over 144 per cent of the targeted Rs. 15,0000.000 millions by the government from residual stake sales for the fiscal.

 

Meanwhile, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram has recused himself from the decision of selling stakes in the two erstwhile PSUs due to his past association with Vedanta and Law Minister Kapil Sibal has been entrusted the responsibility to represent Finance Ministry on the matter.

 

Currently, Hindustan Zinc is the richest profit-making subsidiary of Vedanta and had cash and cash equivalent of Rs. 23,6320.000 millions as of September, 2013. For the half-year ended September 2013-14 fiscal, it has reported net profit of Rs. 3,3000.000 millions and revenues of Rs. 6,4600.000 millions.

 

Operational Performance

 

Mined metal production was 221,646 MT in Q2, as compared with 190,491 MT in the corresponding prior period. For six month period, mined metal production was 459,471 MT as compared to 377,133 MT in H1 FY13. The increase is due to higher production at Rampura Agucha and restarting of Zawar mines.

 

Integrated refined zinc production was up 28% to 194,814 MT in Q2 and up 19% to 367,814 MT in H1, compared to corresponding prior periods. The increase was due to improved operational efficiencies. Production of integrated refined lead was up by 29% and 13% to 28,978 MT in Q2 and 56,445 MT in H1 respectively compared to previous year due to improved utilization of smelter capacity. Integrated saleable silver production was up 14% y-o-y to 83 MT in Q2 and 12% y-o-y to 160 MT in H1.

 

We expect mined metal production of ~950,000 MT in FY 2014. The momentum in integrated zinclead production in H1 is expected to continue in H2. Integrated saleable silver production is projected to be ~335 MT in FY 2014.

 

Financial Performance

 

Revenues were up 25% to Rs. 35210.000 Millions in Q2 and 17% to Rs. 64600.000 Millions in H1, as compared with the corresponding prior periods. EBITDA increased by 28% to Rs 19040.000 Millions in Q2, and was 17% higher at Rs. 34100.0000 Millions in H1 from a year ago. The increase was driven by higher sales volume and rupee depreciation, partially offset by lower silver price.

 

Net profit was up 7% to Rs. 16400.000 Millions in Q2 and 6% to Rs. 33010.000 Millions in H1 as compared to previous year. The positive impact of higher EBITDA was partly offset by lower other income due to mark-to market  losses on investments during the quarter.

 

The zinc metal cost of production before royalty during the quarter was Rs. 50,522 ($816), 8% higher in Rupee and 3% lower in USD terms from a year ago. The cost of production benefited from higher production volume and operational efficiencies, which were more than offset by rupee depreciation and over Rs 3000/MT decline in by-product credits from a year ago.

 

Interim Dividend

 

HZL’s Board of Directors has recommended an interim dividend of 80% i.e Rs 1.60 per share on equity share of Rs 2.00 each, flat from last year. The record date for the payment of interim dividend is 29 October 2013.

 

Expansion Projects

 

The Rampura Agucha underground mine project is operational via ramps and commercial production will ramp up in Q3 and Q4 of FY 2014. The Kayad mine project will also commence commercial production in the current fiscal year.

 

Vizag Zinc Smelter

 

Pursuant to discontinuation of our Vizag smelter operation, all workmen at Vizag have accepted voluntary retirement during the quarter.

 

Liquidity and investment

 

As on 30 September 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 236320.000 Millions. The Company follows a conservative Investment Policy and invests in fixed deposit with banks and high quality debt instruments including AAA/AA rated bonds and debt mutual funds.
