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 OPERATIONS

 

The financial year began on a challenging tone. High inflation, low industrial output, high rates of interest plagued the country’s economy which witnessed the lowest growth in the decade of 5% in the financial year 2012-13 (FY13). This affected the performance of almost all business segments in which the Company operates.

 

Weathering tough times, the Company registered Net Revenue from operations of Rs.1,8732.900 millions in FY13 as against Rs.1,7534.400 millions in 2011-12 (FY12), clocking a rise of 6.8%. FY13 saw the Engine Segment record a 7% increase in revenue while the Infrastructure Equipment Segment revenue grew by 3%.

 

Net Profit for the year was Rs.1379.600 millions as against Rs.185.49 Crore in FY12. The Company had an advantage of exceptional income of Rs.410.900 millions in FY12 and disadvantage of exceptional loss of Rs.166.100 millions in FY13.

 

During the year, due to the growth-oriented strategy of the Company which laid special emphasis on operational efficiency and cost optimisation, the Net Profit margin (excluding exceptional items) was marginally higher at 8.3% for FY13 as against 8.2% in FY12.

 

In its endeavour to engineer growth, the Company has been treading on a multi-dimensional growth strategy, which is reflected in the performance and highlights of its different businesses. The outlook of each business has been discussed in detail in the ‘Management Discussion and Analysis’ annexed to this Report.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

The US economy is expected to grow by 1.9% in 2013 and further strengthen to 3% in 2014. However, short-term risk is foreseen in the Euro-zone, with growth in the region forecast at -0.3% in 2013, and only 1.1% in 2014. Notwithstanding this scenario, the emerging markets and developing economies are expected to grow by 5.3% in 2013. At the consolidated global level, it is expected that the positives will strengthen in the second half of 2013 and further into 2014. In its mid-April forecast, the International Monetary Fund projects global growth of 3.3% for the year 2013 and expects it to touch 4% in 2014.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

However, the last quarter of the financial year 2012-13 (FY13) ushered in a ray of hope for revival. Economists predict that the worst is behind then and in the future, the country will again experience better growth rates. The ability to tackle structural challenges will play an important role in shaping the growth of the coming year. Forecast for the GDP growth ranges between 5.7%-6% in FY14.

 

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

To achieve this, in addition to building organizational capabilities, the Company indexed a three-pronged growth strategy:

 

Expanding and upgrading the product portfolio

 

Strengthening market reach

 

Widening geographic footprints

 

The Company believes this growth oriented strategy will enable it:

 

To drive operational efficiency and deliver cost optimization

 

To become more customer-centric with higher levels of customer service

 

To be more responsive and agile in taking on the challenges prevailing in an uncertain environment

 

The Company continued to implement the engineered roadmap to growth with alacrity and this was visible in the year’s performance. Weathering tough times, for the financial year 2012-13 (FY13), the Company registered Net Sales of Rs.18733.000 Millions as against Rs.1,7534.000 Millions, clocking a rise of 6.8%.

 

Net Profit for FY13 was at Rs.1380.000 Millions as against Rs.1855.000 Millions for FY12. The Company had an advantage of exceptional income of Rs.410.900 Millions in FY12. And this year, a disadvantage of exceptional loss of Rs.166.100 Millions.

 

The growth-oriented strategy laid special emphasis on operational efficiency and cost optimization and the Net Profit margin (excluding exceptional items) was marginally higher at 8.3% for FY13 as against 8.2% in FY12.

 

FY13 saw the Engine Segment record a 7% increase in revenue while the Infrastructure Equipment Segment revenue grew 3%.

 

AUTOMOTIVE ENGINES BUSINESS

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Segment-wise performance in the CV segment was characterized by a wide dispersion in growth rates. While growth slowed and even contracted in a few cases in the Small Commercial Vehicles (SCVs) segment, it was over the high base of the past three years.

 

The 3 wheeler diesel segment reported a 4% year-on-year volume growth in FY 2012-13, mainly led by a healthy 8% year-on-year growth in domestic passenger carriers. Sales of domestic 3 wheeler goods carrier continued to be impacted by high financing costs and weak retail sales resulting in sales contracting by 5%.

 

Notwithstanding the moderation in growth over a period in FY13, the demand for LCVs is expected to remain buoyant over the medium term as it would need to match the extent of capacity added by Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M and HCVs) over the past few years. It is expected that the growth will be led by SCVs. The modest initial investment (sub one Lakh is the estimated equity contribution for entry level trucks) make these vehicles attractive, as payback is faster and it offers employment to First Time Users. Moreover, these vehicles are preferred due to stringent restrictions on entry of heavy-duty trucks and expanding city limits. These factors support the demand momentum for SCVs in future. Industry Research* forecasts a 13-14% CAGR over FYs 14-16.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

During the year under consideration, the Automotive Engines Business was recognized for its Excellence in Delivery with an award from the reputed auto major, Tata Motors, at the Tata Motors Vendors' Meet 2012. By ramping up volumes to meet the demand for engines for the 4 wheeler SCVs, viz., Ace Zip and Magic Iris, the Automotive Engines Business responded efficiently to the requirements from Tata Motors. The award is a recognition of the Company’s manufacturing prowess and competence in delivery, while adhering to stringent timelines.

 

The Automotive Engines Business entered into a 7-year, Long Term Supply Agreement with Atul Auto Limited for supply of diesel engines for their 3 wheeler diesel vehicles. Currently, Greaves engines power Atul Smart, Atul Shakti and Atul Gem vehicles plying across the country.

 

The Automotive Engines Business continued its R and D efforts to develop higher capacity engines as well as engines that use alternative fuels. The Company continued to work towards achieving BS-IV emission compliance.

 

The entry into the Mini Tractor market reinforced our competitive position by developing applications beyond the 4 wheeler automobile sector. The single cylinder Greaves G 600 engine has been installed in 11 HP mini tractor and the market response has been positive.

 

OUTLOOK

 

While the performance of the Indian economy in the last quarter of FY13 has evoked optimism, the Company remains cautious in its outlook and foresees cautious demand, due to high interest rates which directly impacts consumer sentiment. The Company’s results for FY13 are an endorsement of the right strategic measures undertaken during the year. These measures will play a pivotal role in defining the long-term growth potential of the business. Moving forward, the business will continue to remain focused on expanding the client base in the 4 wheeler SCV segment and the 3 wheeler segment, while enhancing the product portfolio.

 

AUXILIARY POWER BUSINESS

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The power capacity addition on an all India basis during FY13 stood at 20,620 MW (excluding renewal energy based), of which 91% was coal-based. However, the overall power deficits remained significant across the country as is evident from the peak deficit of 9% in FY13 with some states, especially North and South, having significantly higher level of peak deficits between 10% and 25%. As against the energy demand growth at 6-8% per annum, power shortages have been continuing on account of factors such as shortfall in capacity addition, increasing fuel shortages affecting the energy availability, lack of adequate transmission capacity in southern region, as well as, the financial constraints in obtaining costlier sources of power by many state owned utilities.

 

Given the unreliability of grid power, Genets have emerged as the viable option for people who seek stable and reliable alternative power. The economic slowdown, high interest rates, poor liquidity and diffident business and consumer sentiments created roadblocks to business growth through the year. The Auxiliary Power industry also continued to be challenged by the intense competition and resultant price wars to off-load stock and improve plant utilization.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

The Auxiliary Power Business continued to focus on enhancing the product portfolio and plans are on the anvil to introduce a range of CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) compliant smaller Genets. The deregulation of diesel prices will gradually change the way diesel power is used as customers will increasingly opt for hybridization, alternate fuels and other cost reduction strategies.

 

Efforts continued to leverage Information Technology (IT) to further strengthen the supply chain, while concurrently strengthening the service backbone.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The need for reliable power will continue to drive the business and, in the medium term, demand for diesel gensets is expected to continue coming in from sectors such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, real estate, among others. The slow and steady revival in the economy, easing of interest rates and likely growth of infrastructure sector will act as a positive growth driver for the Auxiliary Power Business in the future. Going forward, with a focussed approach to engineer growth, the momentum for the Auxiliary Power Business is expected to grow across targeted product segments and markets though margins remain under pressure due to tough competition.

 

FARM EQUIPMENT BUSINESS

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

To ease the labour shortage and higher cost woes of farmers, several state governments have launched campaigns to promote the use of mechanized equipment. Subsidy is being offered under the centrally-sponsored scheme Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) to farmers.

 

Looking at the large-sized opportunity, many MNCs are foraying into the Farm Equipment Business in India through the import route. However, developing larger distribution networks to service the interiors remains a challenge and serves as an entry level barrier, favouring well established players like their Company.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Growth in the Farm Equipment Business was impacted due to poor monsoon and delays in disbursal of subsidies. Weakening demand affected the overall industry business negatively. The Farm Equipment Business made marginal progress and improved its market share, on the back of an expanded portfolio of products. While this progress is better than the industry trend, a discernible improvement from the demand slump situation is yet to be seen.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Continued Government support and planned intervention, increasing labour costs and their shortage will play a vital role in sustaining industry demand. Growth in the segment will also be interlinked to the prevailing interest rate regime which continues to be a deterrent to demand.

 

The Farm Equipment Business believes products that enhance farm productivity, especially Diesel and Electrical Pump sets, Mini Tractors and Light Agricultural Equipment, will attract demand as the trend for mechanization takes further roots in the country, subject to a normal monsoon. In the short run, the forecasts of a good monsoon in FY14 will lead to a revival in the sector after deficient rainfall last year dented demand.

 

The Farm Equipment Business will continue to explore ways to expand its product offerings both through in-house initiatives and through relevant networks in the future.

 

The overall business strategy is to defend the Company’s market share in the Farm Equipment Business, where it already has a reasonably good slice of the market.

 

The Farm Equipment Business remains cautiously optimistic about its performance in FY14 and also in the long run.

 

INDUSTRIAL ENGINES BUSINESS

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The slowdown in the economy, which challenged various industries led to businesses delaying their capital expenditure plans and also led to a deceleration of demand in the Industrial Engines Business. High interest rates, as well as delays in clearances for projects, further impeded project implementation.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

The Company’s Industrial Engines Business develops specifically customised products for various industries, including construction, marine, fire control, mining, material handling, rail cars and power.

 

The Company’s engines have been well received in fire-fighting pumps and marine applications. As fire safety guidelines have come into increased prominence due to the stringent regulations and implementation by various statutory bodies, the business is expected to expand in the future. Despite the overall negative environment, the business, with its quality products and strong technical understanding, succeeded in recording a marginal growth in FY13. However, growth was moderate due to slowdown in capex cycle in the industry.

 

OUTLOOK

 

As the Company is a relatively new entrant in this business space where a large potential exists, the Industrial Engines Business has a promising outlook, though the pace of revival of the economy will determine the degree of growth, going ahead.

 

The Company is committed to increasing the R and D and marketing budgets to garner a bigger share of the pie.

 

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT BUSINESS

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

There is a direct correlation between the demand for construction equipment and growth in infrastructure development. The dampened economic scenario with higher interest rates and slowdown in key sectors impacted growth in the construction equipment space, including infrastructure development, mining, real estate. Other factors that led to slowdown in the progress of construction activity during the year included stringent monetary conditions, policy inertia and stagnant infrastructure activities.

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Though the Company’s Construction Equipment Business continued to be challenged by prevailing difficult times, it eventually showed signs of recovery towards the latter part of FY13. The approach of expanding the product range by adding relevant products has been a key to this recovery. The technology transfer agreement with Samil Industries Ltd., Korea, enabled the Construction Equipment Business to upgrade and launch new products like the S-Valve Concrete Pump to address product gaps in concrete segment.

 

While the construction equipment market was impacted by a slowdown in the infrastructure segment, the Company’s Construction Equipment Business gained market share in the second half of FY13 through aggressive marketing initiatives and the launch of new products. The Road Equipment business, in particular, witnessed marginal improvement in the last few months of FY13 and this momentum is likely to be sustained.

 

OUTLOOK

 

India will need to invest over US$ 1 trillion in infrastructure during the 12th Five Year Plan period (2012-17), according to the estimates of the Planning Commission. This is nearly double the sum invested during the 11th Plan. The initial phase of the 12th Plan period has seen several structural problems holding back the infrastructure sector which need to be resolved expeditiously. Specifically, quick corrective actions are required in the areas of power distribution, fuel linkages, land acquisition, regulatory clearance, among others. At the same time, the reform measures need to be supported by adequate credit growth and funding for long-term infrastructure projects. An upturn in the infrastructure cycle and favourable macroeconomic indicators will eventually push the demand for infrastructure equipment.

 

By ushering in best-in-class technology, the Company’s endeavour is to build a robust contemporary product basket and emerge as a one-stop solution for infrastructure equipment. The initiatives undertaken on product portfolio development in Concrete Equipment space will enable the Construction Equipment Business to take advantage of the opportunities in future, even if the overall industry sentiment is not favourable. In the long run, the strong thrust provided by the Government to the construction and infrastructure sector will be the catalyst to growth.

Mumbai, November 01, 2013: Greaves Cotton Limited, one of India's leading engineering companies reported revenue at Rs. 4480.000 millions for the quarter ended 30th September 2013 as against Rs. 4510.000 millions for the corresponding quarter last year.

Greaves has been able to maintain top line by focusing on product development and superior customer satisfaction. The focused efforts and several initiatives have resulted in reducing costs and in maintaining profitability of the businesses. International business has grown significantly and it is heartening to note that our strategy of widening global foot print across strategic markets of Middle East, East Africa and South East Asia have yielded positive response.

 

The profits for this quarter have been affected with our divestment in Greaves Farymann Diesel GmbH. With global business sentiments at an all-time low, and Greaves Farymann Diesel GmbH not performing to expectations, the strategic business decision to exit was taken in the long term interest of Greaves Cotton Limited.
