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.

ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE:

• Revenue from Operations registered a growth of about 8% as against the previous year's figure of 14%. The lower growth was mainly on account of discontinuation of the distribution arrangement for

Kohinoor / Durex brand of Condoms.

• The increase in Other Income was due to higher Interest Income on Fixed Deposits (Rs.10.192 millions) and profit on sale of Secured Redeemable Non-convertible Debentures (Rs.9.762 millions).

• Goods Consumption as a percentage of Revenue from Operations for the year works out to 49.59% as against the previous year's figure of 52.63%. The reduction is due to higher proportion of Own Branded

Goods vis-ŕ-vis Traded Goods in the product mix.

• The employee benefits expense was higher due to regular annual increments, the impact of the long term wage settlement for EPD field staff and the cost of expansion of field manpower.

• The increase in Power and Fuel expenses was on account of the higher production at Foods Division.

• The increase in Advertisement and Sales Promotion expenses on account of enhanced advertisements / higher sales promotional expenses incurred on various product categories and incentives to field staff.

• The increase in net Fixed Assets mainly represents the- (i) cost of Fen make Pellet (Pappad) Manufacturing Line commissioned during the year and construction of godown space at Foods Division (Rs.78.500 millions); and (ii) expenses incurred for the renovation of the factory and the Quality Control Laboratory at Pallavaram and purchase of equipments therefor (Rs.17.900 millions).

• The reduction in Investments by Rs.60.000 millions was due to the sale of Secured Redeemable Non-convertible Debentures, at a consideration of Rs.69.800 millions.

• The reduction in Inventories and Trade Receivables was due to discontinuation of the distribution arrangement relating to Kohinoor and Durex brand of Condoms and SSL range of footcare products. However, there has been an increase in the Trade Receivables of Foods Division, consequent to the increase in volumes.

• The increase in Loans and Advances mainly represents capital advances for purchase of industrial land, plant and machinery and residential units for employees.

• The increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents mainly represents the increase in Fixed Deposits.

• The reduction in Trade Payables is due to the settlement of dues to the principals, consequent to the discontinuation of the distribution arrangement relating to Kohinoor and Durex brand of Condoms and SSL range of footcare products.

 

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

 

During the year, Revenue from Operations amounted to Rs.3823.000 millions as against the previous year's figure of Rs.3537.400 millions, a growth of about 8%.

 

The overall performance of the Company was affected mainly due to the discontinuation of the distribution arrangement with TTK Protective Devices Limited (formerly TTK-LIG Limited) for Kohinoor / Durex brand of Condoms, consequent to the settlement reached between them and their overseas partners.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT:

The macro economic environment throughout the year was challenging in the backdrop of weak global economic scenario as well as a host of domestic factors.

 

During the year 2012-13, the GDP growth was low at 5% as against the previous year's figure of 6.2%. The inflationary trend continued during the year too.

 

Indian Pharma Industry grew by 14.3% during the year 2012, which was driven by (i) growth in volume of existing brands (4.4%); (ii) new introductions (6.0%); and (iii) price revisions (3.9%). However, the growth has dipped to 9.1% in the last quarter of 2012. The proportion of Chronic Therapy Segment in the overall market is moving up, with a higher growth. Chronic Segment grew at 17.1% vis-ŕ-vis the growth of 13.3% in Acute Segment. Anti-diabetic and Cardiac Segments continue to report healthy growth.

 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE:

 

The Company is engaged in Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Products, Medical Devices, Foods and Publications Businesses.

 

A look at the performance of individual Business Segments:

 

Pharmaceutical Business:

The Ethical Pharma Business of the Company deals in Pharmaceutical Formulations both Herbal and Allopathic, in various therapeutic segments. Pharmaceuticals also include Woodward's Gripewater. Since this product is distributed through the Consumer Products Division of the Company, it is covered under the head Consumer Products Business.

 

Ethical Products Division (EPD) and Ventura Division

After a few years of healthy growth, there has been a slowdown in Pharma Business, during the year. Though the herbal and anti-infertility segments have shown reasonable growth, the performance of allopathic formulations has been below expectations. Older products under the Allopathic Range were either stagnant or reported negative growth. Manpower attrition too had its adverse impact on the overall performance.

 

Steps such as enhancement of starting salaries, improvement in the compensation packages, signing of long term wage settlement with the unionized field staff, enhanced training and development initiatives, etc., have already been taken to reduce the attrition rate and to attract and retain talents.

 

In addition to brand-specific focus on existing products, steps have also been initiated to identify and launch new products so as to sustain the growth.

 

Animal Welfare Division (AWD)

The turnover of the Animal Welfare Division remained flat due to discontinuation of a few products that were commercially not viable. Prolonged adverse scenario prevailing in the Poultry Segment due to mortality and huge escalation in the prices of poultry feeds had further aggravated the situation.

 

However, the positive aspect was that on the livestock segment, most of the flagship brands and also the newly launched products have reported healthy growth.

 

The overall AWD business is being trifurcated into Livestock, Poultry and Pet Businesses, so as to enhance the focus and grow each of these businesses independently.

 

Consumer Products Business:

During the year, the performance of this Division as a whole has been satisfactory. Woodward's Gripe Water continued its growth trajectory especially with some strong gains in the northern markets and ended the year with a healthy growth. EVA as a brand retained its market leadership position. However, the growth was not as strong as previous year's basically due to sluggish category growth and increased competitive activity. Good Home continued to perform as per expectations across all categories.

 

The distribution arrangement for Kohinoor / Durex brand of Condoms stands discontinued, consequent to the settlement reached between the Principals TTK Protective Devices Limited (formerly TTK-LIG Limited) and their overseas partners. Likewise, the distribution arrangement with SSL-TTK Limited for footcare products also stands discontinued, as part of this settlement.

 

In November 2012, TTK Protective Devices Limited launched a new brand of Condom “Skore” which is being nationally distributed by the Company and the initial response has been encouraging.

 

Medical Devices Business:

 

Heart Valve Division

The performance of the Heart Valve Division was impacted due to lower off-take from Government Sponsored Welfare Programmes and also severe competition from imported brands through price cuts. Efforts are made to retain the volumes.

 

Animal trials with reference to Improved Heart Valves and Vascular Grafts have been completed and are awaiting regulatory clearances for human trials.

 

The regulatory process for import of Bio-Prosthetic Valves is in progress and the approval is expected shortly.

 

The prototypes prepared under the R&D Programme for development of Stent for Aneurysm Repair was not satisfactory and therefore, further work needs to be done on the same.

 

Clinical follow-up studies as stipulated by the Certifying Agency for awarding CE marking for Heart Valves is awaiting regulatory clearance and the certification is expected after completion of these studies.

 

Ortho Division

During the year, Ortho Division reported healthy growth. Steps are taken to further accelerate doctor conversion / usage. Extensions / augments needed for revision surgery have been added to the range during the year. Steps are also being taken for developing Porous Coated Knee, Titanium Knee, etc.

 

A small manufacturing facility has been set up exclusively for manufacturing Instrumentation Sets at Chromepet, Chennai.

 

Efforts are also being put in for developing the overseas markets like Sri Lanka, Turkey, Italy, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, etc. and exports have already commenced to some of these countries.

 

Further, the Company's overseas collaborators have also approved addition of a few more countries for marketing BP Knees and this is expected to provide further fillip to the export endeavours of the Company.

 

Publications Business:

The performance of the Publications Business during the year has not been satisfactory. Considering the current market scenario / potential for printed map-based products with the advent of digital technology and the need to have a threshold turnover, this business does not appear to be commercially viable. It is, therefore, proposed to gradually run down the operations and exit the segment.

 

Foods Business:

During the year, the overall performance of Foods Division has been quite encouraging.

 

The Fen make Pellet (Pappad) Manufacturing line acquired from McFills, Ahmedabad has been commissioned and both the Fen Lines and the old refurbished Pavan Lines are working at full capacity. The Panipuri Pappad, an innovative product developed by the Foods Division, has been very well received by the market and has contributed substantially to the turnover / profitability of the Division during the year.

 

Considering the current growth and market potential, the Company is putting up a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Rajasthan, at a cost of around Rs.400.000 millions. This facility would not only add to the production capacity but also be capable of producing more innovative and value added products. The plant is expected to be commissioned in the first half of 2014-15.

 

The implementation of HACCP-based Food Safety Management System at Hosakote factory has progressed well and the certification is expected during the Third Quarter of 2013-14. The Company has also set up Fryums Live Frying Kiosks at a couple of locations in Bangalore as a test marketing initiative to validate this concept.

 

Further, the Company has also commenced a test marketing initiative by launching retail packs of Ready-to-fry Snack Pellets (Pappads) under “Fryums” brand name in Andhra Pradesh, during the First Quarter of 2013-14.
