INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

However, the current account deficit narrowed sharply to $ 32.4 billion at 1.7 % of gross domestic product, in 2013/14 from a record high of $ 98.8 billion or 4.7 %, the year before.A sharp fall in gold imports due to restrictions on overseas purchases and muted import of capital goods helped shrink the current account deficit.

China has told its state-owned enterprises to sever links with American consulting firms after the United States charged five Chinese military officers wih hacking US companies.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The year 2012-13 has been one of the most difficult years with the Indian economy slowing down significantly on account of lowered domestic demand, declining exports, continued high energy prices alongside successive weakening of the Indian Rupee and stalling investments. High inflation rates and spiraling prices of raw materials continued with no respite thereby adding to the deceleration. Execution of high value projects such as Mining, Steel, Coal, Power continued to be mired by regulatory and environmental issues affecting the growth and investments by the downstream projects. Even the bellwether service sector of the Indian economy could clock the lowest-ever growth of just 6% over the last year. The average capacity utilization by the manufacturing sector remained subdued between 60-75% level specifically for Automotive, Engineering and Cutting Tool industries sectors resulting in lowering of the capex plans. The other contributory factors include continued sovereign debt crisis in Euro Zone, successive recessionary trend in Japan and political instability in major oil producing countries fueling rise in oil prices have had their adverse impact on the overall growth of the economy.

 

The export demand was also hard hit due to continued global slowdown except some of the South East Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. While industry segments such as Automobile, Auto Components, Cutting Tools, Machine Tools and Refractory are the worst affected due to the deepening of industrial slowdown, segments like Steel, Ceramics, Glass and Defence have demonstrated marginally better results on a comparable basis. While the slow and subdued global scenario has had its share in the growth of Indian economy, in the domestic front it has cut across all the sectors resulting in lowest GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth in the last decade.

 

The Industrial Production numbers remained weak on account of poor performance of the manufacturing and mining sectors which recorded a meager 1% growth compared to 3.7% of previous year. The decline in manufacturing numbers has mainly been driven by contraction of orders and investments by capital goods, engineering, consumer goods and allied industry segments. However, the Government with its recent announcement of reforms and policy change measures has demonstrated some encouragement and rekindled the business confidence on recovery.

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Despite the industry slowdown and sluggish market condition, the Company has put in its best efforts to achieve a Top line of Rs.889.500 Millions during the year which is 11% lower than the previous year. The major contributory industry segments in the domestic business which had their adverse impact on the company's sales of 11% lower than last year are Automobile, Auto component, Cutting Tools, Steel, Refractory and Ceramics. The Export business was also affected by continued volatility and global slowdown with achieving a total sale of 12% lower compared to the previous year.

 

Superabrasive Business consisting of Diamond/CBN Grinding Wheels and Tools, Precision Dressing Rolls, Hones, Segmented Products and Stationary Dressers achieved a performance level of 91% over the last year which is better than the industry average. This has been possible due to continued focus by the Company on the development of new products and new applications. During the year, the Company successfully introduced some new products including Resin Bond Wheels for Steel and Cutting Tools, Hones for Auto Component, Vitrified CBN Wheels for Paper and Textile and Auto Component, Precision Electroplated CBN Wheels for Engineering, Brazed Diamond Products for Ceramic and Glass and Precision Dressing Rolls for Aerospace and Gear Manufacturing.

 

During the year, the technical collaboration with its parent company Wendt GmbH got discontinued. The Company, over the years has gained competency to have its own fully equipped Research and Development Center. You will be happy to know that the Company's R and D Center has obtained Department of Science and Industrial Research (DSIR) recognition, Government of India. This recognition and approval would not only help the Company to carry out research and development work for itself but also provide ample opportunity to jointly work with some of the leading research institutes and laboratories on cutting-edge technologies in future.

 

Non-Superabrasive Business which comprises of machine tools and precision components could achieve a performance of 83% of the previous year. This lower performance is on account of capex freeze and postponement of investment decisions by many of the targeted customers. However, during the period, the Company has developed many new models/variants of machines and successfully executed some of the new machines like CNC TC Roll Grinding Machine, CNC Surface Grinding Machine with reciprocating table and Honing Machine. Introduced three years back to the basket, the Delapena range of Honing Machines has been well accepted in the market. Recognizing the need for catering to a wider range of honing applications, the Company has started work on development of 4 new models of Wendt –Delapena Honing Machines.

 

On the precision components front, during the year, the Company has successfully completed the development of two variants of components for new applications. This is expected to enhance the precision component basket and de-risk from dependency on single customer. In addition, the Company continued to embark on its new initiative of producing Precision Ground and Honed Components by leveraging its competencies in Machines and related Superabrasive Tools. Process establishment, trials and component prove-out have been done. On commercial production, the Company's position would get further strengthened in Precision Component Business while also being a new growth engine.

 

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS

 

With the business processes aligned with the Strategies and Objectives, the Company strives in its endeavors by focusing on product and process Innovation for delivering superior performances and sustainable growth. Adoption and deployment of appropriate technologies for indigenous Bond development, streamlining processes and introduction of automation in critical areas is the key for the future growth for the Company. The Company thrives to seize new business opportunities in new growing industrial segments which it addresses through New Products for New Markets. Secondly, it continuously explores opportunities for the existing range of products that can find applications in the New Industries and Markets. Accordingly the Company would continue to aggressively pursue business in Construction, Infrastructure, Aerospace, Ceramics, Defense, Railways and Health Care to ensure future growth in both Indian and Global scenario. Thirdly, under key account management, the existing range of products would be aggressively promoted with the existing identified key customers as a part of Market Penetration. Complementing these pursuits would be through active participation in major national and international trade shows, exhibitions, providing customer education and value added services.

 

The acquisition of Winterthur Technology Group (WTG) by the US Multinational 3M Corporation and resultant indirect acquisition of 40% equity share holding in the Company has been a matter of contention. The impending matter continues to be under the purview of The Honorable Company Law Board (CLB), Chennai and the Company expects the ownership matter to be resolved soon.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

GENERAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

In the last two years the Indian economy has been adversely affected by a string of domestic and global upheavals which have negatively impacted the growth. As a result, the Indian economy could achieve growth rate of around 5%, the lowest growth rate since 2002 against earlier projection of over 6%. On the external front, while the slow recovery of global economy and weak environment has been a cause of major concern, in the domestic front continued spiraling commodity prices, high inflation, rise in raw material prices, declining exports, deepening industrial performance, acute power shortage, high interest rates, political instability and policy delays are some of the most noticeable factors responsible for this low growth rate. The subdued industrial performance is discernable despite the slew of measures and reforms introduced by the Government in order to arrest the downward spiral. This was most visible in segments like Automobile, Auto Component, Engineering, Ceramics, Cutting Tools and some of the other allied industries.

 

As mentioned earlier, during the year, while the domestic business of the Company achieved a performance level of 89% compared to previous year, the export could finally achieve 88% performance level of previous year. In the domestic business, while the sales of Superabrasive Products to some industry segments like Automotive, Cutting Tools, Machine Tools, Ceramics was lower between 10-15% as compared the previous year, the drop was more pronounced by more than 20% in segments like Steel and Refractory. Despite the depressing situation and looking at long term benefits, the Company continued to put efforts and initiatives towards development of new products and applications, besides working closely with customers in the developmental process of import substitutions.

 

In the Non-Superabrasive business, the performance level was 83% of last year on account of lesser inflow of machine orders and lower demand of precision components and accessories. Capacity expansion plans and fresh investments on machines have been shelved or postponed by the customers in view of the continued depressed market situation resulting in lesser orders from industry segments like Steel, Engineering, Ceramics, Refractory and Cutting Tools.

 

The Company continues to maintain its leadership position in the domestic market on account of its focus on increased service levels and direct marketing efforts well-supported with efforts on new product developments and enhanced customer engagement levels.

 

In order to ensure sustained growth in both domestic and export market, the Company continually endeavors to enlarge the customer base and provide distinctive prompt services. As mentioned earlier, in the coming year the Company would be implementing CRM (Customer Relationship Management) application working with SAP As its implementation partner. This would not only strengthen the Company's existing sales and service network but also would improve market presence and customer reach, providing competitive edge over the competition.

 

 

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

 

In the backdrop of Global and Indian Economy still remaining weak and shaky despite the efforts of the Government for fiscal consolidation and recent announcement of policy reforms to arrest further deceleration, it is estimated that the Indian GDP would achieve a growth of around 6% in the coming year. Government's focus on sustainable development of agriculture, infrastructure, manufacturing and capital market will bolster the business confidence and reverse the declining trend. This clearly indicates that more focus is towards driving higher domestic consumption and investments.

 

Some of the major Industry Segments that are expected to benefit from the above measures are Automotive, General Engineering, Steel, Infrastructure, Housing and Construction, Power, Mining and Consumer Durables during 2013-14. Sizeable new investments, capacity creations including execution of large infrastructure projects in Steel, Power, Mining, Engineering and Allied Industries are expected to take advantage of the opportunities in the coming fiscal year.

 

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

The Indian Economy is expected to go through another year of muted growth in 2013-14 in view of the rising raw material prices, rising fuel and power cost, inflationary trend, low industrial output, slowing investments in key sectors, high interest rates as well as volatility in some of the developed countries. In this tough business scenario, the Company's efforts will be primarily to retain its leadership position by offering its comprehensive range of products, increased market reach and penetration and adding new products to its basket. In addition to this, the Company would continue to intensify its efforts in improving its market presence not only in domestic but also in global arena to address competition.

 

In the Superabrasive Business, the Company will continue to drive the two key growth engines, Innovation and

New Product Development. In conjunction with accelerating growth in coming years, the focus would be to grab every opportunity that unfolds in the performing industry segments.

 

The Non-Superabrasives business has been gaining strength year on year with its new machine launches. Its new machine models have been accepted well by the market. The increased machine population in the various industry segments has become a good reference base for machine reliability and productivity and helps us in getting the required traction for adding new customers in respective segment. With the completion of the new state of the art facility for machine tools, the Company has planned new launches and developments for the coming year for steel, engineering, automotive and defense industries. The Company is looking forward for strategic alliances towards strengthening the design capabilities and building machine automation competencies and add-ons as a value proposition to its customers.

 

The Precision Component Business is being strengthened and enhanced by adding new components and new customers. The initial test and approvals have been encouraging and their expect to benefit from this as additional business in coming years. The Company will accordingly commit the required investments in terms of machinery and equipment to establish growth in this area.

 

The initiative Wendt on Wheel (The WOW) taken last year has ensured increased visibility and as a consequence enhanced the Company's market awareness in especially the Tier II and III industrial hubs. With it's positive response in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Northern States, the Company would resume this initiative in the remaining States and is confident of being benefitted with identification of new customers, new opportunities and resultant growth avenues for both Superabrasive and Non Superabrasive Businesses.

 

The Company, during the year, while continuing its' focus on International Business through the Wendt/Winterthur network would also extend it's focus to other global locations with it's and CUMI's own direct marketing channels.

 

It has identified certain new geographies for export which until now were not addressed directly by the Company. The Company will now independently pursue business in these countries or through CUMI (Carborundum Universal) PAPs (Product Availability Points) depending on the cost effectiveness and ease of doing business.

 

Following the expiry and non-renewal of the technical collaboration with Wendt GmbH, continuance of using Wendt brand by the Company in the International market is likely to pose some confusion. Accordingly, the Company is planning to promote the use of CUMI brand and / or any other alternate brand for its products in those markets.

 

The Company’s 100% owned Subsidiary, Wendt Grinding Technologies Limited, Thailand, continues to show creditable performance year on year albeit Thailand being affected by slowdown and political disturbances. It demonstrates enough confidence for even better performance in the coming year. Certainly, this has been possible due to continuous efforts in exploring newer opportunities, scanning new industry segments, enhancing product basket as well as delivering superior value propositions to the customers in Thailand and adjoining countries.

 

You will be pleased to know that the second 100% owned Subsidiary, Wendt Middle East FZE, Sharjah has been turned around after three years of its inception and started showing profits despite continued socio-economical issues and depressed market sentiments in the region. Renewed focus and change in strategy from services to more of trading has yielded the desired positive results. The Subsidiary now operates as a Product Availability Point (PAP) for the entire GCC region by spreading its focus on Oil and Gas, General Engineering, Aerospace, Steel and other allied industries. In the coming year, the Subsidiary is expected to show an even better performance.
