INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The services sector, the largest contributor to India’s GDP, contracted for the sixth consecutive month in December, as orders dipped. However, hiring has risen.  Direct tax collections rose 12.3 % during the April – December period of the current financial year.  The government has decided to retain 100 per cent foreign direct investment in both greenfield (new) and brown field (existing) pharmaceutical companies, despite concerns over genetic drugs going out of production, if multi-national companies take over domestic ones. In M&A deals, a non compete clause would not be allowed, except in special circumstances. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion plans to release the next edition of its consolidated foreign direct investment policy document on March 31, incorporating changes made in the past year. DIPP compiles all policies related to India’s FDI regime into a single document to make it easy for investors to understand. 185 million estimated number of mobile internet users in India by June 2014, according to a report by the Internet & Mobile Association of India and IMRB International.  India had 110 million mobile internet users with 25 million in rural areas. $3.77 tn estimated global IT spending in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc. The growth forecast for this year is cut to 3.1 %from the earlier estimate of 3.5 %. The spending growth forecast for telecom services – a segment that accounts for more than 40 % at total IT spending – from 1.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent is the main reason for this overall IT cut. A Reserve Bank of India committee has recommended setting up a special category of lenders who would cater to small businesses and households, to expand the number of customers with access to banking services. These banks would focus onproviding payment services and deposit products.  Indian banks want the free use of automated teller machines to be capped at five transactions in a month including that of the bank in which the account is active. This follows state government order to banks to install security guards at ATM booths after a woman banker was assaulted in Bangalore. The government is likely to present a vote on Account in mid-February. The annual Economic Survey will be tabled later in Parliament along with the full Budget. A full Budget for 2014/15 is likely to be present in July by the new government formed after the General Election. The government will soon launch an internet spy system, called Netra, to detect malafide messages. Security agency will deploy the system to capture dubious voice traffic on applications such as Skype and Google Talk, as well as tweeters.

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

 

The Company achieved a turnover of Rs.3,6420.000 Millions during 2012-13 (previous year Rs.3,6650.000 Millions). This performance has to be viewed in the context of the current economic environment. The Company is largely dependent on the auto industry, with the exception of the Bicycle segment. In view of the economic slowdown, the auto industry as well as the bicycles industry did not fare well during the year, which impacted the Company’s performance. Earnings before Finance Costs, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization Expenses were at Rs.3350.000 Millions during the year as against Rs.3980.000 Millions in 2011-12, a decline of 16%. Finance costs was high at Rs.1040.000 Millions as against Rs.770.000 Millions in 2011-12 due to the increased borrowings resorted to meet the Company’s expansion programmes. Profit Before Tax was Rs.1470.000 Millions for the year 2012-13 as against Rs.2450.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

The Bicycle division recorded a turnover of Rs.1,2550.000 millions in 2012-13 as against Rs.1,2850.000 millions in the previous year.  This segment witnessed steep increase in the customs and excise levies. Lower disposable income in the rural areas affected the demand for Standard bicycles. Higher input costs, together with the increase in the statutory levies, resulted in the higher price of bicycles for the end consumer, affecting the demand in Specials segment as well. As part of its growth strategy, the Company continues to invest in the expansion of retail outlets to improve its reach and the buying experience. The business has established a manufacturing and assembly line for high-end bicycles, to cater to the export market. The division continues to focus on promoting cycling. The Company has reduced its dependence on imports in select product lines and has plans to introduce many new models in the coming years to meet customer aspirations.

 

As regards electric scooters, lack of infrastructure support and the withdrawal of subsidies by the Government have affected the consumer’s preference for this product. In this scenario, prospects for the growth of this product are not expected to improve in the near term.

 

The division has reported a profit before interest and tax of Rs.490.000 millions. in 2012-13 as against Rs.760.000 millions in the previous year, registering a decline of 36%.

 

The Engineering division recorded a turnover of Rs.1,4670.000 millions in 2012-13 as against Rs.1,4490.000 millions in the previous year. With the bulk of its revenue coming from the auto sector, the performance of this business was impacted during the year due to decline in demand for motor cycles and commercial vehicles. Margin was affected due to the increase in power and fuel cost and the inability to pass on the same in entirety. The tubular component business continued to enjoy good patronage from its user segments and grew by 6%. The Company commissioned a stainless steel tube manufacturing facility in the previous year and is working with user industries for product acceptance. Export turnover of the division was at previous year’s levels despite the market slowdown witnessed in Europe and the United States of America. Exerts are underway to enhance the product portfolio of the division through the manufacture of large diameter Cold Drawn Welded tubes (CDW), which finds application in non-auto industries. Towards this, a green field facility is under establishment and it is expected to start commercial production in the first quarter of 2014-15.

 

The division has reported a net operating profit before interest and tax of Rs.1100.000 millions as against Rs.1310.000 millions in the previous year. Improving internal efficiencies and aggressive cost management helped to limit the impact of the drop in volume and steep increase in costs.

 

The Metal Formed Products segment of the Company registered a turnover of Rs.7950.000 millions in 2012-13, as against Rs.8600.000 millions in the previous year. Stagnation in demand from the motorcycle segment affected the sale of drive chains to OEMs. To counter this, the Company focused on the replacement market, which facilitated good growth in volumes for the division. Consistent with the decline in the key industry user segments like cement, material handling and infrastructure, off -take of industrial chains was not encouraging. Uncertain conditions and low economic activity in the European markets further impacted the export of industrial chains. The Company continues to invest in equipment to manufacture fine blanked products as there is a good opportunity for growth in the domestic and export markets. Sale of fine blanked products grew by 33% in 2012-13 over the previous year. Passenger cars designed with roll-formed doorframes did not grow during the year, resulting in a drop in the volume of doorframes sold. The existence of a large underutilized capacity in cold rolled sections for railway wagons affected the top line and margin.

 

Net operating profit before interest and tax for this segment was at Rs. 800.000 millions, representing a decline of 29%.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The year 2012-13 witnessed uncertainty in the domestic and global economies. Economic conditions in the US

showed signs of improvement early on, but did not sustain in the later part of the year; Europe continued to be dogged by one crisis after the other in one or more economies in the European Union; questions on the continued existence of the Euro surfaced and had markets on the edge for a while. With the passage of the crisis and green shoots in some large economies, the prospects of improvement look better.

 

India, no longer being insulated from global developments, was impacted by these factors. In addition, the high rate of inflation, depreciation of the Rupee, increasing fuel prices, high interest rates, weak monsoons, infrastructure bottlenecks and the lack of any concrete policy moves to address these issues led to a correction in the growth rate for the country. It is estimated that the economy grew at the rate of 5% in 2012-13. Differing sectors of the economy performed differently, with agriculture growing at 1.8%, manufacturing by 1.9% and services by 6.6%. The growth rate in the first half of the year was better at 5.4%, but the same could not be sustained in the second half (4.6%).

 

 

The Company achieved a turnover of Rs.3,6420.000 millions, slightly less than the previous year, but its Profit before Tax and Exceptional Item dropped to Rs.1510.000 millions, a decline of 38% over the previous year. The performance has to be seen in the backdrop of the economic environment and the key user segment of the Company’s products – the automotive industry, which saw its toughest year in recent years.

 

BUSINESS REVIEW

CYCLES/COMPONENTS/ELECTRIC SCOOTERS

TI’S PRESENCE

 

The Cycles/Components/Electric Scooters segment of the Company comprises bicycles of the Standard and Special variety including the alloy bikes and specialty performance bikes, bicycle components sold as spares, fitness equipment such as motorized tread mills, elliptical, recumbent bikes etc., and electric scooters.

 

INDUSTRY SCENARIO

 

The organized bicycle industry in India is estimated to have dropped by 10% during the year. The bicycles fall under two distinct categories – Standard and Special. The bicycle is today viewed as a product for fun, fitness and leisure activities instead of just being transportation medium. This has resulted in the product attaining a new and upgraded image. Consequently, the Special segment has registered higher growth rates over the last few years, while the Standard segment has been declining. It is estimated that the market for Mountain Terrain Bikes, the Sport Light Roadsters and Kids, which constitute the Special segment also declined, but at half the rate of the overall industry decline.

 

Higher affluence levels, greater exposure to international usage patterns and concern for fitness have opened up new avenues for high-end bicycles and this segment continues to grow steadily, year after year.

 

The Indian bicycle needs are met by three large players including the Company. Between the three players, close to 85% of the requirements are met and smaller regional players and imports constitute the balance. The Company enjoys a share of close to one-third of the total market, with a much higher share of the Special and premium segment.

 

The fitness equipment business can be broadly classified under two segments; home and commercial. The fitness business of the Company is restricted to the home segment. With a high compounded annual growth rate of 18%, the fitness equipment industry continues to be affricative. There are four national players apart from a slew of importers and regional players.

 

The electric scooters industry in India is still in its infancy. The customer expectations of speed and power are not fully met by the current products in the industry, while efforts are being made by all to upgrade performance. The lack of infrastructure support like special lanes, charging stations etc., as available in China, as well as withdrawal of subsidies have had a dampening effect on the prospects for the industry. The industry has seen the exit of all players in the unorganized sector and the lack of enthusiasm is now resulting in organized players reducing their presence.
