INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

The economy grew 4.7 %in 2013/14, marking a second straight year of sub-5 % growth – the worst slowdown in more than a quarter of a century. The data was below an official estimate of 4.9 % annual growth and compared with 4.5 % in the last fiscal year. 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.

 

Online retailer Flipkart has acquired fashion portal Myntra as it prepares to battle with the rapidly expanding India arm of the global e-commerce giant Amazon. The company raised $ 210 million from Russian Investment firm DST Global which has also invested in companies like Facebook, Twitter and Alibaba Group.

 

General Motors will start exporting vehicles from its Talegaon plant near Pune in the second half of 2014. GM was one of the few global carmakers that was using its India plant only for the domestic market.

Infosys lost another heavy weight when B G Srinivas, a board member put in his papers. He is the third CEO-hopeful to quit after Chairman N R Narayana Murthy’s return to the company – Ashok Vemuri and V Balakrishnan being the other two.While Vemuri went on to lead IGate, Balakrishnan joined politics.

 

Naresh Goyal – promoted Jet Airways posted biggest quarterly loss – Rs 2153.37 crore – in the three months ended March 31, mainly because it has been offering discounts to passengers to fill planes.

 

William S Pinckney – Chairman and CEO of Amway India was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Police in connection with a complaint against the direct selling firm. This is the second time that he has been taken into custody. A year, ago the Kerala Police had arrested Pinckney and two company directors on charges of financial irregularities.

 

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. China’s action which targets consultancies like McKinsey & Co. and the Boston Consulting Group, sterns from fears that the first are providing trade secrets to the US governments.

 

India has emerged as a country with some of the highest unregistered businesses in the world. Indonesia has the maximum number of shadow businesses, says a study of 68 countries by Imperial College Business School in London.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

The year 2012-13 proved to be a challenging year amidst global economic uncertainty. In India, economic growth and capital investment slowed down due to high interest rates, inflation and drought in some parts of the country. Despite these constraints, the Company performed well. Highlights of the performance are:

 

1. Revenue from operations increased by 14.35% to Rs.10141.300 Millions.

2. PBDT increased by 7.28% to Rs.1009.600 Millions.

3. Profit before Tax increased by 6.57% to Rs.78.90 Millions.

4. Cash profit was Rs.745.500 Millions.

5. Production of Fibre Cement Products increased by 6.1% to 696,772 MT

6. Production of Steel Buildings increased by 4.4% to 24,485 MT.

 

 

 

NEWLY COMMISSIONED PROJECT

 

The Company’s fibre cement products plant at Baleshwar, Odisha is completed and under trial run. Commercial operation is expected to commence soon. The plant capacity is 1,00,000 MT annually.

 

 

NEW PROJECTS

 

The Company has made significant progress in setting up a metal roofing plant at Ranchi and trial production is likely to commence soon.

 

The Company has decided to expand the Steel Buildings business by setting up a Pre-engineered Building plant at Dahej Industrial Estate, Phase III in Gujarat at a cost of Rs.500.000 Millions with an annual capacity of 30,000 MT. Land for the same has been allotted by the Govt. of Gujarat. This unit will cater to the needs of industry in Western India, especially Gujarat.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

Indian economy countered multi-fold challenges in the fiscal year 2012-13. The growth of the economy was affected by slowing of infrastructure investments, tight monetary conditions, higher fiscal deficit, increasing current account deficit, higher inflation, and global recessionary conditions in the developed economies. As a result, the GDP growth slowed down to 5% in 2012-13 compared to the 6.2% growth witnessed in 2011-12.

 

The outlook of the Indian economy on a long term looks optimistic. With the softening global commodity prices, improved economic conditions in the US, pickup in Indian exports, reversal of interest rates, fiscal consolidation, reviving of private investment and implementation of various policy measures, the growth of the economy is expected to be better. Further, with the general elections due in 2014, the government will expedite its policy measures to boost the growth of the economy.

 

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Roofing segment

 

Healthy economic growth recorded in the first decade (2001-2010) had an impressive impact on the housing sector in India. From 249.000 Millions in 2001 to 330.800 Millions in 2011, the total number of houses in India increased by 8.17 crore units, recording a growth of 32.81% in the last 10 years. Urban housing recorded a growth of 53.91% while rural housing grew by 24.30%. At present, housing sector contributes around 5% of India’s GDP. With institutional credit for housing investment poised to grow at a CAGR of 18-20% in the next 3-5 years, housing sector’s contribution to GDP is likely to increase to 6%.

 

Rural Housing

 

About 72% of India’s population live in rural areas and depend on agriculture and allied activity for their sustenance. Of this, nearly half of the population lives in kutcha (thatched roofs) or semi-pucca houses (clay tiles), lacking access to basic amenities like drinking water, sanitation and electricity. Security concerns coupled with rising income level drives the desire of rural India to shift from kutcha house (having thatched roof) to pucca house. The cost of a pucca roof using fibre cement roofing is only one-third the cost of an RCC slab, making it more affordable. This is driving the demand for fibre cement roofing in rural India. As per the Working Group on Rural Housing for the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17), the total rural housing shortage is estimated at around 4.36 crore units. This will translate into a tremendous demand for roofing products in rural areas

 

Rural Commercial

 

With rising disposable income in the hands of rural India, roofing sheets are extensively used in all form of construction such as farm house, poultry farms, cow sheds, generator rooms, shops, parking sheds, room extensions, garages, workshops, toilets, etc. With purchasing power in rural India increasing rapidly over the years and commercial activity in rural parts of the country expanding, demand for roofing products will increase significantly.

 

Institutional buildings segment

 

Institutional buildings sector comprises of large organized commercial buildings, retail outlets, warehousing and industrial spaces.

 

Commercial buildings

 

Commercial real estate market was subdued during 2012-13. Demand for office lease rentals gained momentum briefly in the first half of 2012 but existing vacancy levels prevented major appreciation in lease rentals. A lean demand scenario has delayed project execution. It is estimated that by 2012-14 around 229 million sq. ft. of additional office space will be released in 10 major cities.

 

Organized retail space

 

Organized retail real estate segment has faced an oversupply situation in anticipation of retail boom in the country. Since the first half of 2012, lease rentals have remained flat in most micro-markets of the 10 major cities. Total planned supply across 10 major cities is 81 million sq. ft. of which around 44 million sq. ft. is expected to be released in the next two years.

 

Warehousing space

 

Growth of organized retail, manufacturing sector, factory production, logistics outsourcing and the likely rollout of Goods and Service Tax (GST) is pushing the need for better and improved warehousing facilities. As per a KPMG report on warehousing industry in India, the demand for warehousing space is estimated to grow from around 391 mn sq. ft. in2010 to around 476 mn sq. ft. in 2013, at a CAGR of around 6.8% during this period. The relaxation of

foreign direct investment (FDI) policies in multi-brand retail and a 100% FDI permitted under the automatic route in built-up infrastructure is likely to further boost investments in this sector.

 

Industrial space

 

Roofing sheets and steel buildings are the most sought after construction systems in industrial spaces owing to ease and speed of installation, high strength, light weight and resistance to fire. Roofing products are in high demand for factories, site offices, security cabins, parking sheds, canteens, storage godowns, etc. With the rise in industrialization, construction of industrial spaces will see a huge growth which will translate into an even higher demand for roofing and building products.

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

Everest fibre cement roofing products are produced at Kymore (Madhya Pradesh), Kolkata, Podanur (Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu), Lakhmapur (Nashik, Maharashtra) and Bhagawanpur (Roorkee, Uttarakhand). A modern roofing line with an annual capacity of 1,00,000 MT per annum is set up at Somnathpur (Baleshwar, Odisha) and production trials are on. Fibre cement boards and panels are produced at Lakhmapur works (Maharashtra) and Bhagawanpur works (Uttarakhand). The production line at Kymore works, which was modernized in 2011-12 reached its full capacity in the reporting year with improved quality. During the year, the building products division produced 6.85 lac MT of roofing products and Boards and Panels, an increase of 5.5% over the previous year.

 

The industrial strike called by labour union at Lakhmapur in November, 2011 was called off in January, 2013. Officers and staff of Lakhmapur Works worked hard all throughout the strike period to ensure supply, meet customer demand and continue operations in the plant.

 

In order to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs, the company has undertaken many key initiatives:

 

• A Business Excellence team was formed to study and further improve processes and systems. This team is also helping in standardizing processes across units to increase efficiency.

 

• A company wide initiative has been initiated to become a zero discharge organization.

 

• A corporate Technical Cell is being created to improve technology absorption and upgrade technology across works to improve quality, productivity and cost reduction.

 

• A centralized sourcing team has been created to bring in purchase efficiency.

 

• Everest introduced an e-auction platform for sourcing of goods and services. This has resulted in savings in an inflationary market.

 

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

• Revenues from building products segment increased 15.8% to Rs.7685.500 Millions compared to Rs.6636.600 Millions in the previous year owing to higher realizations.

 

• EBIDTA increased from Rs.680.000 Millions to Rs.876.000 Millions, an increase of 28.82% due to better cost control.

 

ROCE of the segment registered a marginal decline of 20 bps from 22.8% to 22.6% due to increase in capital employed in the segment primarily on account of planned higher inventory.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Government’s initiatives of providing employment opportunities coupled with the focus on increasing minimum support price (MPS) of primary farm products has given more disposable income in rural India. Elections are round the corner and Government’s continued thrust to provide adequate shelter to the rural poor by increasing its outlay on various schemes will boost demand for roofing sheets.

 

At Everest, the focus will be on improving production of roofing products in order to meet the emerging demand. We will start producing roofing sheets from their newly constructed Odisha plant and stabilize the production by the end of 2013. Production from this new plant will help us to cater to the rising demand of roofing sheets in eastern India. As part of market share enhancement strategy, the Company will explore options for augmenting capacity at existing locations to keep pace with the growing demand for its products. The company’s R&D team will focus on optimising cost of production by introducing new and alternate raw materials. It will also focus on reducing cost of production, enhance processes and improve capacity utilization.
