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 that 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 %.

PERFORMANCE

 

The sales at Rs.3031.000 Millions for the year ended 31 December 2013 registered 11 % growth over the sales of Rs.2732.000 Millions for the previous year ended 31 December 2012. In terms of sales quantity, the tonnage sold during the year ended 31 December 2013 increased by 5% over the previous year.

 

Despite the hardening of raw material prices and weakening of the Indian Rupee, the Company’s margins improved due to efficient sales price management and raw material cost optimizations.

 

Company’s efforts on reducing costs of its operation and other administrative costs yielded positive results and helped in registering a better profit return, both before and after tax. The Profit before Tax stood at Rs.446.000 Millions and Profit after Tax was reported at Rs.370.000 Millions.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Indian economy is currently witnessing difficult times in more than a decade largely caused by slow pace of reforms and infrastructure development, declining manufacturing output, and high inflation leading to high borrowing cost. Growth estimates for the coming fiscal are less than encouraging. Indian Electrical insulation market was no exception. All major market segments e.g. electrical equipment and Indian automotive industry have shrunk during the year. A massive Rupee depreciation and exchange rate fluctuations during 2013 posed significant challenges. This had substantial impact on Company’s input costs however; it successfully mitigated this impact considerably by various cost reduction initiatives in procurement and product development areas by leveraging local and ALTANA’s capabilities.

 

Despite adverse market conditions, Company has not only grown well in terms of revenues but also improved its margins by:

 

·         Continued focus on carefully chosen market segments

Customer and product portfolio management

Cost optimization

Price adjustments across business lines

 

Industrial recovery is expected to be slow in the near term. There are little hopes that market sentiments will improve before the general elections in 2014. However, management will continue its efforts in improving the competitive edge and strengthening company’s position in the market. The Company has a strong new product and new business development pipeline in place. The management will target these areas to ensure that growth momentum is sustained in relation to the market. Company will focus and appropriately invest in developing capabilities in the area of product and application development, manufacturing at both the plants for enhanced efficiency and optimizing costs across operations. Customer focus is at the center of Company's business strategy, which means Company will continue to focus on supplying high quality products, providing innovative and customized solutions, and excellent after sales service to its customers.

 

 

SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE

 

ELECTRICAL INSULATION SYSTEMS

 

The EIS business, comprising Business Lines -Primary Insulations and Secondary Insulations, continues to dominate the portfolio, accounting for 84% of the sales revenue during the year.

 

Company was confronted with various economic and market challenges during 2013 such as continued economic slowdown, weakening rupee, stubborn inflation, slowing demand across sectors of economy and declining manufacturing output.

 

Customers in primary and secondary electrical insulation market had a difficult year due to worsened economic situation.

The situation of India’s 1.3 lakh crore rupee electrical equipment industry, though not different, is somewhat lop sided as indicated below:

 

·         While the overall electrical equipment industry index seems to be in positive mode (April-September 2013), the segments relevant to business cycle of the Company like Rotating Machines, Switchgears, etc. continue to de-accelerate with negative volume growth of around 4% and 7% respectively for first 8 months of current fiscal.

 

Although, overall imports of electrical equipment have shown a negative growth, imports of power transformers, motors and generators have risen during the review period despite weakened rupee. This situation has also led to large scale underutilization of domestic capacities.

 

However, there were positive developments too. Installed capacity of power segment increased by 23000 MW during 2013. With this performance, the overall power shortages have been minimized, although ironically sub-optimal performance of manufacturing segment has partly contributed to the improved power availability.

 

Despite grim market situation, EIS segment delivered excellent performance during year. The EIS segment had 4% volume growth and 11% value growth during 2013. This clearly signifies improved market position of the Company. The demand slow down notwithstanding, the Company took some bold initiatives like introduction of new products, expansion of customer base, price corrections, etc., while the sustained endeavor for internal cost optimization continued unabated.

 

Therefore, though the user segments could not remain insulated from the hostile market situation, the Company’s position as market leaders continues to remain more than secured.

 

 

ELECTRONIC AND ENGINEERING MATERIALS

 

Electronic and Electrical (EL) Compounds has been identified as the potential growth area for the Company. The growth prospects are very promising in view of the specialty product offerings for Electronics, Auto Electricals, High Voltage castings, Amorphous core bonding in Transformers.

 

Speciality Epoxy and Polyurethane Products of the Company catering to Auto and allied industries have been well received by the OEM customers and are slowly replacing the conventional imported systems from Japan, Korea, Italy, Sweden etc. In view of this, the Company is focusing on substituting products imported by customers. Some of these opportunities became more attractive due to weakened rupee during 2013. In this product line, the Company is getting active help from European and US affiliates of ELANTAS for speedy development and offering better products. This has created opportunities in new areas e.g. RO filtration membranes, LED potting, Advanced battery adhesives.

 

The Company is well equipped to develop and supply speciality products meeting global technical specifications using its global technology network within ELANTAS group. The Company offers environmentally safe ‘RoHS and REACH’ compliant products to meet specific customer demand.

 

To actively support manufacturers and customers exporting their products, the Company also offers UL approved

(Underwriters Laboratory) products, in Epoxy and Polyurethane formulations. The response from the customers to such new products is quite encouraging.

 

In order to meet the global product validation criteria, the Company has taken concrete measures to strengthen its ‘Research and Development’ and ‘Technical Services’. Upgradation of Technical Services laboratory is already underway, which will provide better and speedy services to the Company’s customers.

 

The Company made all-out efforts to further strengthen market position with respect to quality, product solution expertise, innovation and service.

 

 

CURRENT FUTURE AND OUTLOOK

 

Considering that growth forecast of the Indian economy is around 5% in fiscal year 2014-15, the Company anticipates slow improvement in business scenario in the near future. With consumer inflation staying very high despite various measures taken by Indian Government, no major sign of improvement in current account and fiscal deficit, political uncertainty, slow pace of development initiatives by government and no improvement in rupee situation, business prospects hold little promise in short term.

 

The Company will continue to focus on high growth segments within overall difficult market and align its resources to capture the value from such segments. The Company has been successful with this approach in the last year and hopes to continue to out-perform the market. While doing so, managing and optimizing cost across operations during such difficult times will remain a priority.

 

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

The Company’s performance during the year improved as compared to previous year. Sales at Rs.3031.000 Millions during the year ended 31 December 2013 showed an increase of 11% and also in terms of volume, sales increased by 5%.  The Company registered a growth in profitability.

 

Notwithstanding the adversities faced in terms of hardening of raw material prices and rupee depreciation, the Company did manage to improve its margin due to efficient sales price management and raw material cost optimizations.

 

The Company continued to focus on reduction of its operation and other administrative costs, which yielded positive results and helped register a better profit return. The Profit before Tax was at Rs.446.000 Millions and Profit after Tax was at Rs.370.000 Millions.

 

Net Cash Flows from operating activities during the year at Rs.232.000 Millions were lower as compared to Rs.256.000 Millions during the previous year.
