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 %.

The company aims to focus its attention more on its Pharmaceutical products, Oncology products and Hydrolised Proteins in addition to the Bone gelatin for its future growth. The Company intends to have focused and continuous innovation in Research and Development which will help secure a sound future.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The highlights of Sterling Biotech's financial performance during 2013 were:

 

• The company achieved a turnover (including other income) of Rs. 7223.300 Millions.

• EBIDTA from operations was Rs. 989.410 Millions.

• The finance cost was Rs. 4377.079 Millions. Leading to Loss before tax of Rs. 5930.835 Millions.

• After reducing the deferred tax, the loss after tax was Rs. 4006.535 Millions.

• Net worth as at 31st December 2013 stood at Rs. 14701.239 Millions

 

During the FY 2013 the operations of the company have started stabilizing after the various issues of ETP etc. which got over in FY 2012. The global economic turbulences has impacted the volumes and the increase in cost of materials as well as the challenges in sourcing crushed bones of required quality has increased the cost of manufacturing. The finance cost and manufacturing costs have increased whereas the selling price have had no matching upward effect causing drastic erosion in the profitability.
