INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for 2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14.  Total economic growth, infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey.  Projects with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous year.  The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn. 550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as compared to with a year earlier. The National  Capital Region has a one-fourth share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year. The Information Technology and IT-Enabled  Services Industry retained its status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and awareness among depositors.  According to the plan, deposits that have not been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

FINANCIAL YEAR 2012-13 AT A GLANCE

 

From the beginning of FY13, the company has been in a phase of consolidation. They have been focusing their energies on operational efficiencies, strengthening their balance sheet, focusing on cash flows and launching new products and services through existing sales and distribution network.

 

From a start up to expansion, to diversification, to consolidation, the company has come around a whole circle. As the company approaches 20th anniversary next year, they are gearing up for next chapter of growth named “Educomp 2.0”.

 

Educomp 2.0 is their operating Bible which includes their six-point agenda to transform the company and take it to the next level. On one hand, Educomp 2.0 is focused on digital content and their intellectual property based offerings where they plan to take their innovative IP-based products across their presence in 14,500 schools and migrate from being a products company to a solutions company. And on the other hand, Educomp 2.0 is focused on their asset backed offerings that solve the access and capacity problems for India. This is the segment where they have their schools and colleges, where they have annuity style long-term cash flows with highly stable customer lock-ins.

 

First of their six point agenda is about Focus. The company is the leader company in almost all segments in which they operate but the focus will be on on their core competencies. They have already begun the process of exiting non-core businesses and during the year, the company profitably sold its stake in (a) Eurokids (largest pre nursery chain of schools in India) to a group of investors lead by GPE India and (b) IndiaCan (joint venture between Pearson and Educomp for vocational education) to Pearson. The company also diluted their majority stake in AuthorGen in favor of Bertelsmann (large German Media House) and Kaizen Private Equity who have invested primary capital to take the business forward. In addition to the above, they have also closed some of their loss making businesses during the year which should also help improve their operating performance in FY14. They would also like to highlight that they are actively pursuing divesting some of their other non core assets in test preparation space and are confident of completing the transactions during fiscal year 2013-14.

 

Secondly, Educomp 2.0 is about cautious growth. While they have grown rapidly over the last few years from a mere 300 schools in FY07 to over 14,500 schools, their operational backbone hasn’t kept pace with the growth. During the year, they focused on (a) acquiring the quality customer base in terms of profitability (as evident from 2171 schools added in FY13 as compared to 6114 schools added in FY12) and (b) building a backbone that can effectively service their customers. The company chose profitability over volume growth in FY13 resulting in (a) average ARPU during FY13 remaining stable in-spite of not providing resource coordinator to schools from Q4FY13, (b) significant increase in number of classrooms added per school from 6.5 in FY12 to 13.3 in Q4FY13 as part of strategy to cross sell and up sell to existing schools and (c) improvement in collection efficiency (amount collected in Q4FY13 was twice the amount collected in Q1FY13).

 

Thirdly, Educomp 2.0 is a solution company and not just a product company. While so far they have done well, focusing their energies on selling products like SmartClass to schools. However, with a base of over 14,500 schools and 6.9 millions students, they realized that through this network, they can reach out to over 16 millions parents across the country. The company has initiated leveraging this network through a wider portfolio of IP based products and solutions. They will cross sell, up sell additional products and solutions to a customer base using their existing sales and distribution network.

 

The forth focus area for them is balance sheet strengthening including correction of asset liability mismatch. Educomp has over the years, built high quality infrastructure in K-12 and Higher education segments, which involves significant capital investments. These businesses “generally” become cash flow positive in 5-7 years. Currently, their cash flow profile doesn’t match up with liabilities on accounts of loans taken for either for SmartClass hardware procurement or building K-12 or higher education campuses. The deteriorating credit environment added to the stress given limited availability of long term debt and hardening interest rates. Inspite of the strong headwinds during FY13, the company has been successful in reducing the capex by 50% which alongwith improvement in collections has resulted in reduction of net debt. While the net debt reduced marginally from Rs. 19,644.000 millions as at December 31, 2012 to Rs. 19,544.000 millions as at March 31, 2013, they consider these as green shoots for the concentrated efforts put in place during the year. The company would like to thank the lenders who have been extremely supportive of Educomp during this time.

 

In terms of their fifth focused item – Educomp 2.0 will be a leaner organization. They are working on streamlining their operations, integrating technology into the supply chain and servicing components to replace and optimize their existing cost structure. During the year, they have already undertaken specific measures in K-12 business wherein they have slashed down their corporate expenses by more than 50%. In addition, effective April 1, 2013, they have merged the sales and service organizations at zonal levels thereby increasing span of controls for both sales and the servicing teams. The leaner structure will result in lower operating cost, better customer engagement and it is more effective in the long-term. They now have 600 people across 600 districts in India. Last but not the least, as mentioned earlier, during FY13, the company decided to sell SmartClass product without resource coordinator. They are positively surprised by their customers who have supported this decision. This decision will help them optimize their headcount besides being accretive to the margins of SmartClass business.

 

As a last and very important priority Educomp 2.0 is a mix of experienced and new leadership. During the year, the Company hired senior professionals including Mr. Rakesh Sharma as Executive Director. He brings immense professional experience in Education sector and will surely be able to add significant value to Educomp.

 

 

COMPANY OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY FOR FY 2014

 

As Robert Frost famously said-

 

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

 

But I have promises to keep,

 

And miles to go before I sleep,

 

And miles to go before I sleep.”

 

Similar to what Robert Frost said years ago, the theme for FY14 remains Educomp 2.0 and driving the six point agenda which they initiated during FY13. They believe that the near term outlook in FY14 is mixed, considering liquidity constraints and a volatile market environment, despite strong business fundamentals. However, by leveraging (a) their extremely valuable IP based smart learning solutions and (b) an enviable customer reach of 34,500 schools and ~23 millions learners, over the mid-term, we remain confident of returning the business to a position of strength.

 

 

CORPORATE DEBT RESTRUCTURING (CDR)

 

In order to correct the asset-liability duration mismatch, The Company has initiated discussions with its senior secured lenders and plans to restructure its debt under the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) mechanism, including moratorium on principal and interest payments on term-debt. The debt-restructuring exercise will ensure better liquidity and enable the Company to focus and strengthen its core operations. They believe this will help us to safeguard the interests of their key stakeholders, including customers and vendors. Their senior lenders have shown support of their long-term business plans and are supportive of their efforts to achieve a sustainable debt structure.

 

About CDR

 

• The CDR mechanism, was launched in February, 2002 under the aegis of RBI, is a voluntary and non-statutory arrangement to ensure timely and transparent mechanism for restructuring the corporate debts of potentially viable entities, outside the preview of legal proceedings.

 

• Banks and FIs participating in CDR System became member and formed a self-empowered body, which lay down policies and guidelines, and monitors the process of the CDR. At present there are 56 members such as State Bank of India, Life Insurance Corporation of India, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, ICICI Bank etc.

 

• CDR system is based on Debtors Creditor Agreement and Inter Creditor Agreement and this provide the legal basis to the CDR mechanism.

 

• Further, if 75 per cent of creditors by value and 60 per cent creditors by number agree to a restructuring package of an existing debt, the same would be binding on the remaining creditors.

 

• CDR considers all the preliminary reports for restructuring. However, the detailed package will be worked out with the help of Lead institution for the potentially viable companies.

 

 

SMARTCLASS – RETURNING BACK TO BUILD OWN AND OPERATE MODEL

 

During FY13, the company was contemplating legal restructuring of their SmartClass business. The Board of Directors in their meeting in April 2013 had constituted a committee to evaluate various options, taking into account the financial legal and tax aspects of the proposed restructuring. Notwithstanding the final outcome of the evaluation exercise currently underway, the company has decided two significant changes effective April 1, 2013.

 

Firstly, they have decided to migrate to Build Own and Operate model for SmartClass revenue recognition. As a consequence; they would now be booking their revenue in 20 quarterly installments assuming it is a five year contract or in 12 quarterly installments assuming it is a three year contract. Secondly, Smartclass will now be a bilateral business. It will be a business directly between Educomp and the customer.

 

 

EDUREACH – FOCUS ON CONTENT AND TRAINING BUSINESS

 

In their Govt. business, they will again focus on cautious growth by cherrypicking the govt. orders. They will channelize their efforts in content and training related govt. orders, which are the core competencies of Educomp. Further they will focused on maximizing the realization and margins for the existing projects in the Edureach business.

 

 

K-12 – ASSET LIGHT JV MODEL AND DRIVING ENROLLMENTS IN EXISTING SCHOOLS

 

Their focus in K12 will be to drive the entire future growth through the Asset light JV model. Given the large number of their Greenfield schools now operational and becoming cash positive, they have established a successful proof-of-concept. They are now seeing significant traction in the JV model. Several JV partners are committing themselves to tie-ups where-in they will bring the physical assets (land and building) or capital, while they will provide management services to run the schools. Additionally, their focus will also be on driving enrolments and increasing

capacity utilization of exiting schools.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

India, today, is considered as a talent pool of the world, having qualified and educated human resources in abundance. India has the world’s largest population in the age bracket 5 to 24 years of about 450 million1. It also has around 500 million2 in the 25 to 59 age bracket which constitutes the working population and is expected to continuously increase even as the world’s working population ages and diminishes. This has been one of the primary reasons for transformation of India into one of the fastest growing economies in the world since liberalization in the 1990s.

 

As the economist Clark Kerr observed, “On a global scale, wealth and prosperity have become more dependent on the access to knowledge than the access to natural resources.”

 

Education is the key to unlocking and building lasting value in a robust economy. In order to meet this existing and emergent demand, there is huge need of investments in the Indian education sector. Exhibit below provides an overview of the current Indian educational infrastructure and the need gap.
