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.

The world economy continued to struggle in CY 2012 with a visible slowdown in the emerging market and developing economies, a reflection of the sharp decline in demand from economies like USA and Eurozone Area, domestic policy tightening, and the end of investment booms in some of the major emerging markets. Developing economies are still the main driver of global growth, but their output has slowed compared with the pre-crisis period.

 

Over the past few months, two of the biggest threats to global recovery have been temporarily averted, a Euro area breakup and a sharp fiscal contraction in the United States from the “fiscal cliff.”

 

Overall global growth for the year came in at 3.2 percent in 2012 as against 4.0 percent in CY 2011 and is expected to grow by 4.0 percent in CY13. (Source: IMF)

 

India faced its own share of problems driven by protracted weakness in industrial activity and slowdown in the services sector. India’s quarterly GDP growth declined for the seven consecutive quarters in October – December 2012, hitting a nine-year low of 4.7 percent. (Source: RBI). GDP% for the January – March 2013 quarter registered 4.8 percent and for the year GDP% came in at 5.0 percent as against 6.2 percent in the previous fiscal.

 

 

GLOBAL AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

 

The global automobile industry is highly concentrated, in USA, Europe, Japan, China, Brazil, India and Korea, covering a major share of the pie. Global vehicle production reached a record 84.1 Million in numbers in 2012 (Source: OICA), up 5 percent over the previous year.

 

Most of the global automotive markets witnessed a concurrent demand decline for both mass market passenger cars and commercial vehicles (CVs), impacted by a weak demand environment. The demand was dampened due to low levels of economic activities across regions. There was a subsequent demand decline across all the major regions except North America, where the passenger car sales continue to surge. Automotive Sales in the Eurozone auto industry remained depressed due to the challenging economic conditions, and this downtrend is expected to continue for some time. However, CV sales in Western Europe are likely to remain stable to slightly positive as compared to previous year. 

 

China and India witnessed weak automotive demand on back of slackening economic demand. In 2012, Indian automotive market witnessed one of its most challenging periods while china witnessed a slump demand which is estimated to report auto sales of 19 Million, growing at single digit rate, one of the lowest in many years (Source: Global Auto Report -Scotia Bank, 2012).

 

 

EXPORTS

 

BFL is a major supplier of safety and critical components for the automotive (passenger and CV) and industrial sector. These components provided to passenger and CVs are critical, safety and high value-added. BFL enjoys the privilege of strong relationship with global OEMs spread across automotive and industrial sectors.

 

The Company has successfully expanded its relationships across various geographies, notably in Brazil and Japan. This has been achieved on the back of BFL’s deep engagement with global OEMs and its ability to by supply critical and technologically differentiated products.

 

The Company has transformed its industrial business from serving just one or two product categories to limited customers, to a separate business vertical with a dynamic product offering across customers, geographies and segments.

 

Similar to the domestic business, BFL has a limited exposure to the passenger vehicles through exports. However, with the industry moving towards better fuel efficiency and stringent emission norms through the use of lighter engines, they will require high-performance parts. BFL is making significant progress with substantial efforts aimed towards this space. It is confident of achieving success in increasing its exposure to this segment in the coming years.

 

SUBSIDIARIES

 

Global subsidiaries

 

BFL’s global subsidiaries help contribute to the development of the entire Group. These subsidiaries allow the Company to:

 

·         Increase customer penetration and proximity to the customer,

 

·         Cross fertilisation of best practices and exchange of technology,

 

·         Enhance the ability to cater to the customers through a dual-shore based model which will reduce the customer’s dependency on the no. of suppliers for different components.

 

Following a good year in CY 2011, all the global subsidiaries of the Company focused on cost reductions, right sizing of organisation and new market development. However, global markets have been extremely volatile in second half of CY 2012 resulting in lackluster performance of the subsidiaries.

 

Europe: Performance of European subsidiaries was adversely affected in CY 2012 on backdrop of lower demand in the underlying markets. The subsidiaries have focused on improvement in productivity, lean organisation and cost reduction. As a result of these initiatives, European subsidiaries have been able to achieve profitability during these uncertain market conditions. These companies   continue to develop new products, increasing share of business with Customers and focus of improvement in operational performance 

 

USA: In November 2012, US subsidiary of the Company – Bharat Forge America Inc. (BFA) closed its manufacturing operations due to sustained losses. Most of the existing business of BFA was transferred to India thereby protecting the business within the Group. Subsequently all assets of BFA were sold in US in May 2013 for $ 11.25 Million. Loss for CY 2012 due to such discontinued business was Rs.168.000 Million.

 

China: Performance of Joint Venture in China was adversely affected by drop in underlying market in China. The drop in market was severe especially in commercial vehicle market (drop of 30 percent over last year) and construction market (drop of 70 percent over last year). As a result, the capacity utilisation of Joint Venture Company was far below break-even level resulting in higher losses in CY 2012.

 

Indian subsidiaries

 

BFL has been foraying into the capital goods and infrastructure business segments (both offer major growth opportunities) through investments in JVs and subsidiaries.

 

Alstom Bharat Forge Power Limited (ABFPL) and Kalyani Alstom Power Limited (KAPL)

 

India’s Planning Commission projects that the country needs at least 35-40 GW of additional generation capacity annually to reach the necessary installed capacity of 800 GW by 2030. Alstom Bharat Forge Power Limited (ABFPL) and Kalyani Alstom Power Limited (KAPL) are two JV companies of BFL with Alstom. These JVs design, engineer and manufacture state-of the- art power equipment, including turbines, generators, heat exchangers range for power plant units of 300 MW to 800 MW. ABFPL has been awarded two prestigious orders by NTPC Limited. The first one, a 2X660 MW supercritical Turbine Generator Islands is set to be installed at Solapur in Maharashtra, while a 3X660 MW supercritical turbine generator islands is going to be installed at Nabinagar in Bihar. Both of these projects, together constituting robust orders of Rs.38000.000 Million, are being implemented and all key design and engineering milestones for these have been met. 

 

BF Infrastructure Limited (BFIL)

 

BFL’s wholly-owned subsidiary, BFIL, endeavors to be a key contributor in India’s infrastructure growth through a niche and dominant role in a few important segments including power. The Company possesses a host of key enablers, including a talent pool with nearly 1,500 man-years of proven project experience. It is currently setting up a 450 MW (3X150 MW) coal based thermal power plant at Haldia, West Bengal, for India Power Corporation (Haldia) Limited on EPC basis at a cost of Rs.18850.000 Million. After suffering from initial delays due to land related problems, the project is under implementation now. It is expected to be completed with all the three turbines proposed to be commissioned in the next financial year.

 

BF-NTPC Energy Systems

 

BFL’s JV with NTPC, namely BF-NTPC Energy Systems Limited, has identified critical shortages in the domestic availability of products, such as high-pressure piping, special castings, valves and pumps, which retard timely completion of the country’s power plants. Due to current depressed market conditions in the power sector, BF-NTPC Energy Systems Limited has decided to put the project on hold and revisit it once demand in the sector revives.

 

David Brown Bharat Forge Gear Systems India Limited

 

David Brown Bharat Forge Gear Systems India Limited is a JV company located in Pune and serves India’s industrial market. It supplies both newly build gearboxes and comprehensive aftermarket services to sectors, such as power, mining, defense, wind, rail and steel. In the first phase, the JV has established service centre in Hosur, Karnataka and will set up a manufacturing facility in the second phase once the demand in the capital goods/power sector revives.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

Total income FY13 witnessed a decline in total income by about 13.5 percent from Rs. 37474.000 Million in FY12 to Rs. 32429.000 Million in FY13. The decline was largely due to a continued slump in automotive demand and drop in component sales to the industrial sectors both in India and overseas markets.

 

The demand for India’s industrial segment was impacted by global slowdown across markets. In India, the industrial sales were primarily impacted due to weak investment sentiments and a slowdown in industrial activities. Rest of the markets faced declining demand from various infrastructural activities.

 

Income

 

Domestic sales decreased by 18.9 percent on the back of 27 percent decline in volumes in the MandHCV segment and order declines in the industrial sector in India.

 

Export sales declined by 8.5 percent on back of slump in demand across auto and industrial segments across all major geographies. Export realisation improved during the year on back of rupee depreciation against major currencies and also increase in supply of machined components.

 

Other Operating income (Export Incentive) declined during the year due to reduction in incentive rates. Other income increased 49.2 percent from Rs.614.000 Million to Rs. 916.000 Million. Overall, total income reduced 13.54 percent from Rs.37474.000 Million to Rs. 32429.000 Million.

 

Expenditure

 

Raw Material as percent of total income decreased from 43.6 percent in FY12 to 41.9 percent in FY13 on improved

 

Machining and higher realisation per tonne. Manufacturing cost as percent of total income increased from 17.2 percent to 18.4 percent due to increase in Power cost which increased from Rs.6.76 per Kwh in FY12 to Rs. 7.74 Kwh in FY13.

 

Salary cost increased from 6.8 percent to 7.9 percent on primarily on account of sudden drop in demand which had an impact on total income. Other expenditure remained more or less flat at 6.4 percent on a YoY basis.

 

EBITDA % marginally declined by 60 bps from 26.1 percent to 25.5 percent despite a more than a 10 percent decline in top line on back of measures taken towards the end of the fiscal to reduce cost in line with the lower demand environment. 

 

Depreciation and Interest Cost increased from 9.2 percent to 11.6 percent on back of new machining lines getting commissioned in the fiscal and replacement of US$ 39.9 Million Zero Coupons FCCB with an ECB of similar amount. 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Economic uncertainties, along with a decline in automotive and industrial sectors in its primary markets, namely India, the US and the Eurozone nations, adversely impacted BFL’s performance in FY13. Despite the Company’s recovery initiatives through cost control and increased productivity, the domestic as well as export outlook for the first two quarters of FY14 remain sluggish.
