INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
N E W S
As per the latest IMF study, the total weigh of emerging markets in the
GDP of the world on a purchasing power parity basis has seen a sizeable shift.
It highlights how as against 51 % in 2005, the emerging economies now account
for close to 56 % of the global purchasing power GDP as per the latest survey.
And with the emerging economies growing at a faster rate than their developed
counterparts, there are every possibility that the their share goes up further
in the coming years. China may surpass the US over the next few years.
Politics and economics are very intricately connected. They tend to
influence each other in ways that could be very complex and far-reaching. The
prospects of the India’s economy have been seriously compromised due to
political corruption. High inflation, poor standard of living are to a great
extent a result of rampant corruption in the country. China on the other hand,
seems to be facing diametrically opposite challenge. American hedge fund
manager Jim Chanos has been keenly following the political and economic
development in the dragon economy and has figured out something that is quite
worrying. He is of the view that the Chinese economy could be heading toward
trouble on account of new Chinese President Xi Jingping’s very aggressive
anti-corruption drive. Chanos believes tat many things such as apartment sales,
luxury products, etc. were largely bought with dirty money. And it is now
beginning to impact consumption. This may indeed be bad news for an economy
that is struggling to transition from an investment-driven export-oriented
economy to a domestic consumption-driven economy.
A study published by Firstpost has revealed that asset classes like real
estate and equities were the biggest beneficiaries of the liberalization
policies. A firm called Ciane Analytics studied returns from assets
including equities, gold, fixed deposits, G-Secs and real estate since 1991.
Real estate outperformed every other asset classes during the 23-year period
with an annualized return of 20 % ! Equities came in second with annualized
return of 15.5 % ! However, while these returns may seem mouthwatering, the
fact is that the return from equities adjusted for inflation came down to just
7.1 %.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
ECONOMIC BACKDROP
The economic backdrop was a key factor impacting the performance of Companies across sectors including organized retail. Consumer sentiment and business confidence continued to be subdued in the financial year with economic growth decelerating further. This is attributable mainly to weakening industrial growth in the context of tight monetary policy followed by the Reserve Bank of India through most of the financial year, political and policy stability related concerns and continued uncertainty in the global economy. Inflation continues to be an important concern area. Persistent high inflation and inflation expectations has meant that the Reserve Bank of India has been compelled to maintain the benchmark interest rates at a much higher level than was seen warranted or expected earlier.
As observed in prior years, the organized retail space in the first decade of this century was viewed as offering enormous potential for growth in India. However, post FY08 the industry witnessed a sharp moderation in expectations with most retailers across formats facing significant head winds in terms of like-for-like growth and viability of stores. Following the pronounced slowdown, the industry witnessed a modest recovery in FY10. This recovery gathered further momentum in the first three quarters of FY11 and yielded strong double-digit like-for-like growth across most credible retail formats. Consumer sentiment thereafter was impacted in FY12 and continued to be muted till the second quarter of FY14 with high inflation expectations, pronounced interest rates and economic uncertainty being key contributing factors. In the recent quarters consumer sentiment has been varied-with apparel retailers reporting an improving trend but most other retail formats still witnessing muted off take.
Operations – Westside
The Westside format offering predominantly an exclusive range of own branded fashion apparel continues to be the main stay of the retailing business of the company. This format over the years has been rolled out across the country and currently covers 53 cities.
The Westside model involves active control across the value chain including with respect to design, branding, sourcing, logistics, distribution, pricing, display and promotion of over 85% of the product range retailed. They believe this model is more robust than department store models that predominantly retail third party brands including from a return on capital employed perspective. Empirical evidence also seems to suggest that globally, retailers who control the entire value chain are relatively more successful.
In the period they continued to focus on a number of internal improvements in Westside. Key initiatives included the launch/refresh of a portfolio of exclusive brands, improved presentation in stores, focus on select newer categories and entry into the fashion kitchenware market through a tie up with Lakeland of UK. Aided by the strategies pursued and reasonably favorable market conditions the format registered a healthy 9% like-for-like growth in revenues in FY14.
Gourmet West and Lakeland are two relatively new areas they have ventured into. They believe that they would afford the Westside format significant growth potential over time. Gourmet West is a shop in shop within certain key Westside stores - it was introduced in 2 additional stores last year, taking the total count to 6. Today, customers can enjoy the experience of Gourmet West in various Westside stores in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chandigarh and Surat. In FY14, they also introduced fashionable kitchenware for customers in Pune and Bengaluru through an exclusive tie up with Lakeland - a British company famous for its creative kitchenware across the world. The initial response from our customers has been positive. They believe this exclusive tie up will help us deliver an enhanced shopping experience for their customers.
Operations – Star
Bazaar
Trent Hypermarket Limited (THL) operates in the ultra-competitive food, grocery and daily needs segment under the Star banner. THL aims at distinguishing itself by providing a convenient modern shopping environment for customers to select across multiple product ranges with a focus on service, quality and price/promotions.
The market reception for Star Bazaar stores has been generally encouraging and the same is evident from improvements in walk-ins, revenues and gross margins over the years. However, Star Bazaar and most other food and grocery retailers in India have continued to face challenges with respect to several cost line items like occupancy costs (especially in case of stores located inside shopping malls), energy costs, minimum wages and other operating expenses.
The focus of the management has been to evolve a sustainable model. The key variables involved include the size, location and build scheme of stores, categories and range width of merchandize retailed and positioning of offer in the minds of customers. Having operated the Star Bazaar format for several years, they now believe they have a broad understanding of the model that could allow sustainable growth in the competitive Indian market. The emphasis is currently on establishing a more robust empirical evidence for the model, post which phase they intend to further expand their portfolio of Star banner stores.
Following are some of the key focus areas and developments with respect to the Star banner in FY14:
Conscious effort to make a “compelling food range” the key differentiator for the Star banner stores. Efforts were undertaken to gear up the entire supply chain towards ensuring a ”compelling food range” across their stores. They believe this is important as the target audience is primarily drawn by the “food offer” rather than by general merchandize.
Emphasis on private label offerings with the launch of a number of exclusive products. Ghee, Noodles, Biscuits, Ketchup, Tea, Packaged Drinking Water - were some of the food categories where private label products were launched. In the non-food category, cleaning fluids, soaps and other hard-lines also saw private label products being introduced. Leveraging the Tesco association, some of the best-selling Tesco products were also made available exclusively in Star Bazaar outlets.
Star Bazaar opened its first express outlet in Pune last year. Branded as Star Daily, this is about 2,000 sq. ft. in size and is aimed at serving daily needs of the immediate catchment. The response to this new format has been encouraging and they are considering possibilities of replicating this model in areas where larger Star Bazaar already operate. The intent is simultaneously leveraging the supplychain gains of being proximately located to a Star Bazaar hypermarket store and at the same time being readily accessible to customers within dense catchments.
Given the model related commentary above, they have not pursued store expansion in the period but for one additional hypermarket store in Margarpatta, Pune. As observed in earlier reports, webelieve based on empirical evidence and otherwise that the hypermarket format is best suited to operate from standalone schemes. Some of the key driving factors include:
Customers do not prefer to navigate the mall with a shopping trolley and rather prefer quick and direct access to parking and to public transport options; hence, shopping malls do not necessarily generate higher footfalls compared to standalone stores;
Given its economics, the hypermarket format does not afford any headroom for incurring the substantial common area maintenance charges in shopping malls. These charges are primarily on account of electricity charges relating to air conditioning etc of the common areas of the mall. These charges are negligible in the case of standalone stores.
From an operational perspective standalone schemes allow for much easier and through the day replenishment of stores unlike in the case of mall stores.
Given the above considerations, unless the overall package in a mall scheme is seen to be very attractive, we have sought to not progress with opening Star Bazaar hypermarkets inside large shopping malls. The focus of the management during the period has continued to be on achieving improved efficiencies from the existing operations and evolving a more calibrated product offer that would allow for sustainable growth going forward.
During the year, the like-for-like sales growth of Star Bazaar stores was 4.8% as against 7.9% witnessed in the preceding year. THL recorded a 5% increase in total revenue to Rs.8207.600 Millions (Rs.7851.900 Millions in FY 12-13) during the period EBIT was negative Rs.557.900 Millions (negative Rs.64 Millions in FY 12-13).
Operations – Landmark
The last financial year was again a challenging one for Landmark. The overall results of the format were below expectations. However, substantial efforts have been taken to reinvent the format and select renovated stores and new growth categories have witnessed encouraging results. They believe that the new offering of Landmark as a family entertainment format has the potential of being a compelling customer proposition over time.
Landmark recorded a 12% decrease in total revenue to Rs. 1754.100 Millions (Rs. 2001.900 Millions in FY12-13) during the period and operating losses were broadly in line with that reported in the previous financial year. The Landmark’s results for the year ending March 2014 need to be viewed in the context of the conscious winding down of certain categories and various restructuring initiatives - as each of these efforts involve significant disruption of operations (for instance during store redesign/ refurbishment).The principle restructuring measures continued to be pursued in the period include:
Focus of newer growth categories – Landmark is increasingly being shaped into a family entertainment format, with focus on toys, front list adult and children’s books, sports related merchandize, tech accessories and gaming and stationery. The revenue mix of FY14 is depicted in the chart below and as can be noted, the focus growth categories now account for over 2/3rds of the business.
Store portfolio and redesign of the store look and feel – Consistent with the revised anchoring of the store to new growth categories, the re-configuration of the stores including in terms of their look and feel has been pursued during the financial year. Also, they have closed/ are in the process of closing stores that they believe are unviable from a medium term perspective. The intent is to focus efforts on select stores with potential for growth. As of March 2014 they had 15 operational Landmark stores, down from 19 in March 2013.
Merger of Landmark Limited – It has been a stated objective to significantly integrate the operations of the format into and leverage the corporate infrastructure of the Company (for instance in supply chain, back-end service department activities etc). Consistent with this objective, merger of Landmark Limited with the Company has been concluded together with a couple of other wholly owned subsidiaries. Further, Landmark shop-in-shops are being gradually rolled out across select Westside stores where growth potential is seen and this approch is another measure to realize synergies. They believe the Landmark format could prove to be a sustainable growth platform for the Company over the medium term with the key structural initiatives being undertaken to:
- grow newer categories with significant growth headroom
- optimize store sizes, product range and look and feel
- wind-down unviable stores and categories
- grow online presence through “landmarkonthenet.com”
- improve timely availability at the store level of relevant merchandize
- integrate the supply chain infrastructure and SAP platform with that of the Company
Overall financial
results
Overall, on a standalone basis the Company has reported a total revenue of Rs.13192.100 Millions (Rs.9961.900 Millions in FY12-13) for the period and a Profit After Tax of Rs.542.400 Millions (Rs.62.26 Millions in FY12-13). The exceptional items for the year represent refund of certain taxes arising due to retrospective amendment of tax provisions and impairment of certain fixed assets. Pursuant to the scheme of amalgamation between Landmark Limited (Landmark), Fiora Link Road Properties Limited (Fiora) and Trexa Admc Private Limited (Trexa) the entire business including the assets, liabilities, duties and obligations of Landmark, Fiora and Trexa have become vested in the Company w.e.f. 1st April, 2013. The results of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2014 are hence not comparable with the corresponding previous year. The results for the year reflect improved off take witnessed in the Westside format and substantial restructuring of the Landmark operations. All items have been accounted, including consequent to the amalgamation mentioned above, in a manner consistent with the applicable accounting policy of the Company, the accounting standards and the Companies Act.
On a consolidated basis the Company has reported total revenues of Rs.24326.600 Millions (Rs.22002.700 Millions in FY12-13) for the period and a negative Profit After Tax after Minority Interest of Rs.185.500 Millions (negative Rs.268.300 Millions in FY12-13). Results of the standalone entity and the 49% share of the Zara JV contributed positively to the consolidated results while primarily THL contributed negatively during the period. In summary, the consolidated bottom-line of the Company (relative to the standalone results) primarily reflects the cost of incubation of the hypermarket business.
A review of the performance of the principal formats has been covered in prior sections.
Outlook
A pronounced rate of inflation and continued high interest rate levels are the apparent dampeners in the near term. In fact, on a post-tax basis the yield on bank deposits are still broadly in line with the inflation rate, implying marginal real interest rates. The above factors continue to impact discretionary consumer spending headroom. Hence the consumption triggers are still not positive at this time. This backdrop, coupled with the escalating costs (especially wages, electricity and common area maintenance) implies continued challenges.
On the other hand, they are encouraged by signs of improving economic situation. The new government is focusing on improving the investment environment to accelerate the growth and maintain economic stability. Reforms in the monetary policy and the union budget are expected to contain inflation, maintain price stability and attract investors to put the economy back on a high growth path. Separately, the continued hiring by various sectors (at the entry level) and consequently improved absorption of youth into the organized workforce should serve as an important positive consumption trigger.
Separately, the continued challenges in securing properties at acceptable rentals and valuations in the real estate space (with most participants in the organized retail pursuing their growth plans) remain a cause for concern. So they view improving the quantum and quality of their pipeline of new stores especially for the Star Bazaar format as a challenge that they already face and have to address. However, the property pipeline already contracted should still allow opening a number of new Westside and Star Bazaar stores in FY15.
The prior observations on the near term consumption triggers notwithstanding, they continue to be very positive on the underlying case for growth of organized retailing in India over the coming years. As observed in the previous years, the intent going forward is to continue scaling up their presence and in doing so across the formats:
Emphasize sustainable store level profitability and only scale up with new stores locations that are expected to be profitable within an agreeable time frame;
Concentrate resources on substantially growing the existing anchor formats (especially Westside and Star Bazaar);
Continue to be primarily “large box”; especially given the rental economics vis-à-vis sales densities in locations of interest to us;
Selectively commit direct investments in properties;
Leverage partnership with global retailers like Tesco and Inditex to further the profitable growth of respective formats.
