INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW:

 

Financial Year 13 indeed was one of the toughest years for aluminium industry in many ways, especially for the Indian aluminium industry. Globally, aluminium prices continued to remain depressed; overcapacity and inventory overhang added to the weak sentiment for the commodities. If during the first half European sovereign debt issue continued to haunt the commodities, in the second half, it was the impending slowdown in China that put a lid on any price recovery. The emerging markets that were the torch bearer of Global recovery post 2009 have witnessed fluctuating fortunes and many have been plagued with issues arising out of uncertainties around sustainability of growth, rising inflation and political uncertainty. The emerging markets in the recent past have underperformed developed markets. For the Indian producers the situation was even more challenging. If declining GDP growth, slowdown in manufacturing sector and power sector impacted the demand in a low pricing (LME) scenario, the cost pressures continued, primarily driven by high energy prices. While the prices of crude and its derivatives continued to remain high globally, depreciating rupee resulted in an additional burden on the Indian consumers. Coal prices continued to increase in India, even as the Global coal prices cooled off.

 

Against this external backdrop, The Company also witnessed several one-off adversities that tested the mettle of the Company. Renukoot and Hirakud smelters experienced production outages due to varied reasons, Muri faced an unprecedented water scarcity, Dahej copper smelter had to undertake an extended shutdown, Novelis lost production in the 3rd quarter due to the issues experienced during the roll out of new ERP at two units.

 

Despite all this, the Company has managed to deliver a solid performance.

 

 

 

 

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:

 

·        FY 13 was a major stepping stone in subject long term strategic path. The year brought subject on the verge of commissioning of its Greenfield projects. These projects would redefine and enhance the cost competitiveness which will ensure the business' long term sustainability. Utkal and Mahan have achieved significant milestones and commissioning activities have started at these two projects.

·        A unique strategy to catapult Indian aluminium market to the next level is put in place and soon Hindalco shall be producing can body stock and ultra thin gauge foils from the facilities in Hirakud and Mouda respectively. This downstream strategy would not only enhance the product portfolio but is also expected to re-define the aluminium usage in India.

·        Significant capex was also incurred in Novelis to capture the growth in other emerging markets and product portfolios across the globe. This will ensure the Company's global leadership in FRP (flat rolled products) space and enhance the profitability.

·        Novelis has also made significant strides to strengthen its recycling capabilities which will help improve the cost structure and enhance competitiveness and profitability.

·         Hindalco's consolidated revenue stood at Rs.801930 Millions as compared with Rs.808210 Millions in FY 12.

·         Profit before depreciation, interest and taxes stood at Rs.88490 Millions as compared with Rs.89670 Millions in FY12. This was a solid performance against the backdrop of various setbacks and macroeconomic challenges.

·         Net profit attributable to the shareholders for the year stood at Rs.30270 Millions as compared with Rs.33970 Millions in FY 12.

·         The decline in profit is primarily due to lower aluminium LME realisations, sustained cost pressures, certain one offs that afflicted both Hindalco and Novelis and weakness in demand in certain global geographies following macroeconomic headwinds.

·         Of the total annual revenue of Rs.801930 Millions, Aluminium Business contributed Rs.621910 Millions, vs. Rs.620590 Millions in the last year. Aluminium EBIT for FY13 was Rs.43880 Millions -broadly at FY12 levels.

·         Copper business delivered a creditable performance against the backdrop of adverse macroeconomic conditions and one timers. This performance was achieved on the back of strong operating efficiencies, enhanced product mix, and focused value creation through waste-to-wealth initiatives and higher co-product margins.

·         Copper revenue at Rs.175180 Millions, was lower than Rs.183640 Millions generated in FY12. This decline was mainly on account of lower realisation resulting from lower LME. The copper EBIT for the year was Rs.7400 Millions as compared with Rs.11190 Millions in FY 12.

·         The Company continued with further financing initiatives to progress on the charted growth path.

Ø  The Company achieved the financial closure of Aditya aluminium project this year. A common rupee loan agreement for Rs.98960 Millions was signed by the Company on 17th September, 2012 with a group of 28 banks/financial institutions.

Ø  The Company raised Rs.60000 Millions through secured non convertible debentures, the single largest issuance by a private corporate in India in recent times at a very attractive pricing in a deal that was widely termed as market reviving deal. These debentures are listed on the wholesale debt market segment of National Stock Exchange.

Ø  As a part of the overall financial closure for the project, The Company raised USD 100 million finance from Export Development Canada for its Mahan Aluminium Project.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

 

Aluminium Business

 

Industry Review

 

Global economy has been trudging along in the last one year in view of several macro economic uncertainities and risks. Some of the impending risks such as the Euro region break up and sharp US contraction seem to have been averted for now. Encouraging growth in the US and liquidity boosting policies by certain central banks have enabled the global economy to grow around 3.2% in 2012.

 

However, commodities are still languishing given the declining growth in China that hit a 13 year low, slowdown in Europe and lacklustre growth in other emerging markets.

 

The fact that commodity prices are ruled by sentiments more than pure demand - supply dynamics, in an era where commodities have evolved as an important asset class, too had a major bearing on the commodity prices.

Repeated episodes of global risk aversion and relatively high energy costs cast a shadow on the metals and mining businesses. Many Mergers & Acquisitions went sour as global players found it difficult to cope with the challenging macroeconomic environment. In 2012 itself the write downs on acquisitions exceeded USD 50 Bn. In India, the growth rate slowed down as rising inflation and widening current account deficit constrained the monetary policy. Uncertain regulatory environment too impacted the growth as investment appetite declined.

 

 

OPERATIONAL REVIEW:

 

Against this backdrop, The Company’s aluminium business had an operational performance that was truly creditable and indeed superior to most global peers.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Global economic conditions have somewhat improved during the past six months. The Policymakers in developed countries have defused two of the biggest short-term risks to global activity at least for the moment - the Threat of the euro zone breakup and a sharp fiscal contraction in the United States. Financial stability has improved, according to the IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook (WEO). The report forecasts real global GDP growth of 3.3% on an annual average basis in 2013.

 

Long term outlook for aluminium continues to remain strong with Global aluminium demand expected to increase at a CAGR of 6% over next five years. China will continue to be the torchbearer of this demand increase, with expected growth of 9% till 2020, taking its consumption to almost 37 Mn tonnes. This growth rate, though strong, pales in comparison with the stupendous rate at which Chinese aluminium consumption has grown over the last decade. Infrastructure investment, especially power sector is expected to lead the growth as China rebalances its economy and increases its thrust on domestic consumption.

 

Other emerging markets too are expected to grow strongly, with Indian demand growth expected to be in double digits. The Indian aluminium consumption prospects remain strong with an expected demand pull from the power sector. India’s demand for housing, retail and office space is expected to rise rapidly as the  urbanisation ratio is set to increase from 31% in 2011 to 40% by 2030 with an estimated 610 million people living in the cities by 2030.

 

In the developed world, the demand will mostly continue to be consumer driven. US demand is expected to be robust over the short term with auto sector growing strongly and some recovery seen in the housing and construction sectors. The transportation sector is expected to display the strongest growth, driven by higher vehicle production and increased substitution of steel by aluminium as vehicle lightweighting gathers pace. This will lead to higher demand for auto body sheet throughout the forecast period.

 

The outlook for Europe is again not too bright having been plagued with several macro-economic issues. In the mature Japanese market, demand will remain relatively static, but the falling Yen should help keep Japanese manufacturing exports competitive.

 

The supply is expected to remain strong as several producers continued to produce despite low LME. High physical premiums too worked as an incentive to continue production. Global Aluminium production is expected to grow at a rate matching the demand growth overe the next five years. Bulkof production increase will come from China and Middle East. Production from both these regions is expected to grow at around 8-9%.

 

In the recent past, there have been some capacity curtailments but overall production continued to increase, especially in China. New Chinese capacities in the North West/Western China are expected to come on stream over next few years.

 

An estimated 10 Mn tonnes capacity is getting added in interior China while some of the high cost capacities in the eastern China are expected to close down. While many of these closures are logical, the timing is uncertain due to subsidies from provincial government. In China, smelters will be challenged by the issues in sourcing alumina / bauxite, especially considering the recent restrictions on bauxite export from Indonesia and logistic challenges/cost inflation in transportation of bauxite/alumina to the interior China.

 

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

Over the years, The Company has successfully demonstrated benefits of an integrated approach with low cost upstream operations and significant abilities and reach in the downstream business. The robustness of Novelis' de-risked business model and focused approach to leverage the dominance in its chosen product segments has yielded desired outcome in challenging times.

Hindalco's aggressive Greenfield expansion programme is on the verge of delivering, despite tough ground conditions at its project locations. Once these projects stabilise fully, they will ensure long term sustainability of the Company built on a sound strategy; thus yielding superior returns and value addition.

 

GREENFIELD PROJECTS:

 

Greenfield Projects have made significant progress during the year. These projects, with their vertical integration and logistical advantages, shall enhance the cost competitiveness of aluminium business and will establish it as the 'Last Man Standing'.

 

 

COPPER BUSINESS INDUSTRY REVIEW:

In 2012,world refined consumption was static at 19.7Mt. Refined consumption grew in Asia, Middle East, North America and Latin America last year, but declined in Europe, Africa and Oceania. The main reason for stagnation in 2012 was a 2.2% year-on-year fall in consumption in the second quarter, which is usually the strongest in the year, as growth slowed abruptly in China. Despite this sharp slowdown in 2012, Chinese demand increased at around 5%, accounting for around 42% of Global copper demand.

In the USA financial fears had weighed on demand in the latter part of 2012, although 2013 seems to have started on a firmer footing. Continued improvement in key end use sectors is also expected to propel demand through the balance of the year. The construction market has been a focus of attention for some time following stellar growth in housing starts and this now seems to be feeding through into consumption of cathode.

European consumption declined by almost 7% as industrial growth dropped sharply amidst the fears of Euro breakdown. The demand in Japan, the other large consumer, remained stagnant.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE:

Copper business got impacted due to plant shutdowns in the first half that resulted in decline in production. The output for the year at 314 KT was 5% lower than the previous year. Despite this, the endeavour to maximise VAP production resulted in higher volumes of CCR. The TC/RC for the year was marginally better, though co-product prices were significantly lower as industrial growth slowed down.

For custom smelters like The Company, copper prices are just a pass through and the margins are largely determined by TC/RC and other value drivers, viz. co-products. This year, while higher TC/RC were supportive, weak co-product prices and high input costs along with plant shutdowns negated the impact of better TC/RC. With improved product and market mix, and better operating efficiencies, copper business managed to deliver a robust performance. The EBIT for the year stood at Rs.7680 Millions as compared to Rs.8020 Millions in the previous year.

 

OUTLOOK:

In the short-term, the pace of copper supply growth relative to demand is expected to keep the market in surplus till 2017. Industry forecasts expect growth in refined copper consumption to be 4.9% in 2013, driven largely by China and North America. Smelter capacity is expected to continue growing with a CAGR of 5.8% p.a. till 2016.

 

On account of the market surplus and risk averse macroeconomic environment, copper prices are expected to remain subdued over next 1-2 years. This may lead to delays and/or deferrals in those projects that are either in construction or due to come on line over the coming years. Overall mine production capacity is forecast to rise from 16.2Mt in 2011 to 21.3Mt by 2015, an increase of 32%. Beyond 2015, mine production may be subdued due to reserve depletion.

Long term TC/RC for 2013 is around 10% better than in 2012. However, spot TC/RC are expected to remain volatile depending on the news flow.

Copper demand globally is expected to be little subdued and so are the prices. Over the period 2016 to 2018, projected deficits as a result of the slower pace of production growth should see prices recovering.

However, The Company's business which is predominantly converter business is largely insulated from copper prices. Better TC/RC due to surplus of mine metal, recovery in the Indian economy and manufacturing sector augurs well for the business. A weak rupee will also support the performance.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW & ANALYSIS:

·         Hindalco's consolidated revenue stood at Rs.801930 Millions as compared with Rs.808210 Millions in FY 12. Profit before depreciation, interest and taxes stood at Rs.88490 Millions as compared with Rs.89670 Millions in FY12. This decline was only marginal against the backdrop of significant challenges faced by The company such as lower aluminium LME realisations, strong cost pressures, certain one offs that afflicted both Hindalco and Novelis; and weakness in demand in certain geographies following macroeconomic headwinds.

·        Standalone revenue for the year was stable at Rs.260570 Millions. Profit before interest and depreciation was Rs.31870 Millions vs. Rs.37210 Millions in FY12.

NOTES:

 

1.     Exceptional Items include:


a. Liability of Rs. 3240.000 Millions under UP Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2007 (UP Entry Tax)


b. Liability of Rs. 720.000 Millions under Madhya Pradesh Gramin Avsanrachna Tatha Sarak Vikas Adhiniyam(MPGATSVA)


Both the above levies have been contested by the Company and appeals against these are pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. In the matter of UP Entry Tax, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has granted a stay on the adverse order of the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court. In the matter of MPGATSVA, the Supreme Court has not stayed the adverse order of the Hon’ble Jabalpur High Court in a separate but similar case. Since in both these matters an adverse order has been passed by a High Court upholding the validity of the levy and the amount of the levy has either been paid or secured by bank guarantees provided by the Company, the Statement of Profit and Loss has been debited with the total amount pertaining to these levies following principles of prudence. The amount paid towards these levies has been shown as advance recoverable in the balance sheet.

 

2.     Both the greenfield projects of the Company viz. Aditya Aluminium and Mahan Aluminium, as well as the greenfield project of its wholly-owned subsidiary company, Utkal Alumina International Limited have started operations during the year and are in the process of ramping up.

 

3.     A provision of Rs. 86 crore has been made for diminution in value of investment of the Company in Hindalco - Almex Aerospace Limited. The entire amount of provision has been adjusted against Business Reconstruction Reserve (BRR) as enjoined in the scheme of financial restructuring approved by the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay (the Scheme) under Sections 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 during the year 2008-09.

 

4.     Had the Scheme not prescribed aforesaid treatment, the impact on standalone would have been as under:

i. Net Profit lower by Rs. 860.
000 Millions


ii. Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) lower by Rs. 0.43.

 

This adjustment has, however, no impact on consolidated profit of the Company.

 

5.     In accordance with the accounting policy for accounting of actuarial gains or losses relating to pension and other post retirement employee benefit plans of Novelis Inc., the Group has recognised actuarial gains / losses (net of deferred tax) in the Actuarial Gain / (Loss) Reserve' under Reserves and Surplus in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Had the Group followed the practice of recognition of actuarial gains / losses on the aforesaid defined benefit plans in the Statement of Profit and Loss, Employee Benefits Expenses would have been lower by Rs. 1420.000 Millions (previous year higher by Rs. 5420.000 Millions), Tax Expenses (Deferred Tax) would have been higher by Rs. 77 crore (previous year lower by Rs. 1590.000 Millions), Net Profit for the year would have been higher by Rs. 650.000 Millions (previous year lower by Rs. 3830.000 Millions).

 

6.     The Board of Directors of the Company have recommended dividend of Rs. 1.00 per share aggregating to Rs. 2420.000 Millions (including dividend distribution tax of Rs. 350.000 Millions) for the year ended March 31, 2014.

 

7.     The figures of the quarter ended March 31, 2014 are balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the relevant financial year.

 

8.     The consolidated financial results comprise the performance of the Company, its subsidiaries as also share in joint ventures and associates. The consolidated financial results are based on the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with Companies (Accounting Standard) Rules, 2006 and other applicable accounting practices.

 

9.     Both the standalone and consolidated financial results of the Company have been approved by Audit Committee and Board of Directors in the meetings held on May 29, 2014.

 

10.  Figures of previous periods have been regrouped wherever necessary.

Hindalco Industries Limited, the flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, today announced its standalone as well as consolidated audited financial results for the year ended 31 March 2014.

Standalone results

Quarterly results: Net sales in Q4FY14 were up 16 per cent over Q3FY14 mainly on the back of the highest ever aluminium sales volume and higher copper sales tonnage in its copper business. Profit before Interest and Depreciation increased by 27 per cent over Q3FY14.

Other income was at Q3FY14 levels. However with capitalisation of some assets at Mahan Aluminium and Aditya Aluminium projects, depreciation and interest charge increased by around Rs. 100 crore in Q4FY14 vs. Q3FY14.

An exceptional item of Rs.396 crore relates to a liability of Rs.324 crore under the UP Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2007 (UP Entry Tax) and a liability of Rs.72 crore under the Madhya Pradesh Gramin Avsanrachna Tatha Sarak Vikas Adhiniyam (MPGATSVA). Both these levies have been contested by the company and appeals against these are pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

Profit before exceptional item and tax is higher by 28 per cent over Q3FY14. Net profit after tax at Rs.248 crore is lower mainly on account of exceptional items.

Aluminium sales grew by 22 per cent compared to Q3’14 on the back of higher volumes. The segment results before interest and tax doubled to Rs.350 crore vis-à-vis Q3’14.

Aluminium production in Q4’14 at 175 Kt reflects the ramping up of capacity at Mahan. 

Copper sales and EBIT are up by 13 per cent and 6 per cent respectively.

Copper cathode production in Q4’14 at 96 Kt is higher than that of Q3’14.

There has been an all-round improvement in performance in volumes and results in both the businesses of the company.

Annual results

For the year ended 31 March 2014, net sales grew by 7 per cent with profit before depreciation, interest and tax growth at 13 per cent. Interest costs went up significantly consequent to higher borrowing and capitalisation of some assets at projects. Due to higher interest cost and exceptional items, the net profit was lower at Rs.1,413 crore.

Consolidated results

The consolidated revenue as well as Profit before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes extended by 9 per cent and 5 per cent respectively in comparison to the last year’s corresponding figures.

Net profit was lower at Rs.2,1750.000 Millions, because of higher interest and depreciation and exceptional items.

Novelis Inc (wholly owned subsidiary)

Shipments of flat rolled products increased from 2,786 kt in fiscal 2013 to 2,895 kt in fiscal 2014. The recent rolling expansion in Pindamonhangaba (Pinda) facility, coupled with the strong demand in Brazil, contributed to the higher shipments and strong operating results in South America.

Shipments were also up in Europe in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013, driven by higher automotive and can product shipments. The recent rolling expansion project in South Korea contributed to the higher shipment levels in Asia region. Shipments in North America were down compared to the prior year, as can product shipments were lower.

Under US GAAP, Novelis reported "Net income" of $104 million for the year ended 31 March 2014, compared to $203 million in the year ended 31 March 2013. Cash flow provided by operating activities was $702 million compared to $203 million in the previous year.

Aditya Birla Minerals Limited (51 per cent subsidiary)

Aditya Birla Minerals Limited, Australia reported a net loss of AUD 0.2 million in FY14 compared to loss of AUD 8.3 million in FY13. Mount Gordon mines operations is currently placed under care and maintenance and various strategic options are being evaluated including divestment. Nifty mines is currently under suspension post development of a sink hole on 20 March 2014.

Dividend

The Board of Directors of the company have recommended dividend of Re.1 per share aggregating to Rs.242 crore (including dividend distribution tax of Rs.35 crore) for the year ended 31 March 2014.

Projects

India 
All the greenfield projects viz. Aditya Aluminium and Mahan Aluminium as well as Alumina Refinery under Utkal Alumina International Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, have commenced operations.  All these projects are ramping up their capacity utilisation.

Novelis

In July 2013, Novelis began the commissioning phase of two automotive sheet finishing lines at Oswego, its New York facility. The construction of new automotive sheet finishing plant in Changzhou, China is also on track.

In December 2013, Novelis announced plans to further expand its global production of aluminium automotive sheet products by building a third finishing line at its Oswego, New York facility and a second finishing line at its Nachterstedt, Germany facility. These projects are expected to begin commissioning in late calendar year 2015. Each of these will add approximately 120 kt of auto-finishing capacity. With these expansions, the Novelis’ global automotive sheet capacity will rise to approximately 900 kt per year.

Note: Certain descriptions and/or figures of earlier periods have been changed/regrouped to conform to current practices

Mumbai: Hindalco, the flagship company of Aditya Birla Group, today announced its unaudited results for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

Revenue from operations at Rs.72730.000 Millions in Q3FY14 is up 15 per cent over Q2FY14, driven by higher volume. Improved operating efficiencies cushioned the adverse impact of higher input cost and lower realisation. Other income rose on account of better yields from investment. Profit before tax went up by 6 per cent to Rs.469 Millions vis-à-vis Rs.440 Millions in Q2FY14. Net profit has been lower due to higher effective tax rate for the quarter.

The company’s greenfield projects are ramping up well. Mahan smelter produced 18 Kt of aluminium metal and Utkal Alumina International Limited produced 87 Kt of alumina in Q3FY14. The first metal has been produced at Aditya smelter in January 2014.

Of the total revenues of Rs.72730.000 Millions, Aluminium Business contributed Rs.24710.000 Millions [vs. Rs.23430.000 Millions in Q2FY14] with an EBIT of Rs.1700.000 [vs. Rs.166 Millions in Q2FY14]. Aluminium sales were higher on the back of higher volume despite realisation being lower. Quarterly aluminium production at 158 Kt has been the highest ever.

In the Copper Business, revenues were higher at Rs.48170.000 Millions up by 21 per cent from Rs.39740.000 Millions in Q2FY14, driven by higher copper LME and by-product realisation. Cathode production was 89 Kt during this quarter (vs. 84 Kt in Q2FY14). The Copper Business delivered highest ever EBIT of Rs.3000.000 Millions in this quarter.

 

ONE-TIME GAIN HELPS HINDALCO POST 12% GROWTH IN Q1 PROFIT AT RS.4740 MILLIONS

The Economic Times
14 August 2013

However, sales fell 3% to Rs.57670 Millions on declining prices of copper and aluminium

Hindalco Industries on Tuesday reported a 12% increase in quarterly net profit as a one-time gain offset lower sales. India's biggest aluminium producer posted a net profit of Rs.47410 Millions for the April-June quarter, compared to a net profit of Rs.42480 Millions a year earlier. Sales fell 3% to Rs.576670 Millions. The company, however, benefitted from a 42% rise in non-operating income of Rs.42790 Millions, which included a one-time gain of Rs.2030 Millions. Hindalco didn't elaborate where the gain came from.

The company said it is "re-evaluating its investment strategy" with respect to its proposed Aditya Refinery and Jharkhand Aluminium Projects in view of delays in getting various regulatory approvals and the current uncertain economic environnment. The focus of the company is now on ramping up of the new projects already on stream, the company said.

Hindalco is confident of ridding through these challenges with its thrust on stabilising the projects, operational efficiencies and cost control.

"The sales were bound to fall because of declining prices of copper and aluminium," said Giriraj Daga, an analyst with Nirmal Bang International Securities. He added that the company would have benefitted from a weaker rupee. Global prices of copper fell 6% in the April-June quarter, while those of aluminium fell 3%. The rupee fell 8.5% against the dollar in April-June.

Daga said the company's sales will improve in the subsequent quarters due to growing stability in metal prices. But it would be impacted by depreciation costs from its new refineries at Utkal and Mahan. Hindalco's earnings come a day after its unit Novelis reported an 85% plunge in its net profit due to pricing headwinds and lower demand for some of its products. Hindalco spent Rs.299350 Millionson raw materials during the quarter, down 18% on year. Finance costs rose 83% to Rs.14870 Millions.

"The focus of the company is now on ramping up of the new projects already on stream," the company said in a stateement. "Depressed LME in an otherwise inflationary scenario poses a significant challenge," it added. However, the company is confident of riding through these challenges with its thrust on stabilising the projects, operational efficiencies and cost control.

The Hindalco share ended marginally lower by 2.45% or Rs.2.30 paise to Rs.91.45 a share after the earning announcement on Tuesday.

The capital employed in the Aluminium Business was Rs.330570 Millions as on June 30, 2013, after factoring around Rs.238000 Millions relating to the investments in Mahan, Hirakud FRP and Aditya Aluminium Projects. During the quarter, the Utkal Refinery went on stream and major equipment at Hirakud FRP plant was also commissioned, the company said.

 

HINDALCO Q1 NET UP 12% AT RS.4740 MILLIONS

The Financial Express
14 August 2013

Aditya Birla Group flagship Hindalco on Tuesday reported a 11.53% increase in its stand alone net profit to Rs.4740 Millions during the April-June quarter. The company had posted a net profit of Rs 4250 Millions during the corresponding quarter last year.

Revenue from operations, however, dropped 3.15% to Rs.58380 Millions in the June quarter. Net sales of the company fell 3.31% to Rs.5766690 Millions during the June quarter, mainly due to an 8.46% decline in revenue from the copper business (at Rs.3635770 Millions).

The company said revenue was impacted due to lower copper production as one of its smelters went for a planned shutdown.

The revenue from the aluminium business was, however, up 7.2 % at Rs.2211140 Millions. The company said the total aluminium output for the quarter was 139 kilo tonne compared to 132 KT during Q1FY13.

“Q1FY14 performance was achieved despite adverse macro-economic headwinds. The average aluminium LME dropped around 7% from the levels seen in Q1FY13. This sharp fall was partially cushioned by depreciating rupee," the company said.

Hindalco, which has spent around $3 billion or Rs 150000 Millions, on expansion projects at the Mahan Coal block, has already got stage-I clearance and is currently awaiting the stage-II clearance which it expects to get by December 2013.

 

HINDALCO Q1 NET UP 12% AT RS.4740 MILLIONS

 

The Mint

14 August 2013

 

Mumbai: Hindalco Industries Ltd, the Aditya Birla Group’s flagship company, reported a 11.6% rise in fiscal’s first quarter net profit from a year earlier and said that it was re-evaluating its investments in two projects as demand for aluminium and copper remains bleak.

“Indian markets not only stagnated, coal prices also went up by 10% in May,” Debu Bhattacharya, managing director of Hindalco and vice-chairman of Novelis Inc., the company’s US unit, told reporters. “It is a double whammy.”

Stand-alone net profit rose to Rs.474.09 Millions in the three months ended 30 June from Rs.424770

HINDALCO INDUSTRIES JUNE QUARTER NET PROFIT RISES 12% TO RS.4740 MILLIONS

Mumbai: Hindalco Industries Ltd, the Aditya Birla Group’s flagship company, reported a 11.6% rise in fiscal’s first quarter net profit from a year earlier and said that it was re-evaluating its investments in two projects as demand for aluminium and copper remains bleak.

“Indian markets not only stagnated, coal prices also went up by 10% in May,” Debu Bhattacharya, managing director of Hindalco and vice-chairman of Novelis Inc., the company’s US unit, told reporters. “It is a double whammy.”

Stand-alone net profit rose to Rs.4740.900 Millions in the three months ended 30 June from Rs.4247.700 Millions in the same quarter a year ago, the company said on Tuesday. Revenue from operations dropped 3.15% to Rs.58379.300 Millions in the quarter.

A Bloomberg poll had pegged stand-alone net profit at Rs.3216.000 Millions and sales at Rs.60317.000 Millions.

The company said it is re-evaluating its investment strategy with respect to the proposed Aditya Refinery in Odisha and the Jharkhand aluminium project owing to delays in getting regulatory approvals and the uncertain economic environment.

“We cannot invest in this kind of uncertainty and before we put money on the ground, we must be clear,” Bhattacharya said, adding that the review is under way and the company has no deadline for its completion.

He said Hindalco’s plan is to invest about Rs.150000 - Rs.160000 Millions in the projects.

Hindalco is India’s largest copper maker and second largest aluminium producer in installed capacity terms. Established in 1958, the company has grown through mergers and acquisitions.

The company’s acquisition of Novelis in 2007 put it among the world’s top aluminium makers.

“Hindalco results missed (our) estimates due to weaker copper margins and volume,” said Rakesh Arora, managing director and head of research, India, at Macquarie Capital Securities (India) Pvt. Ltd.

“FY14 remains a transition year for Hindalco with new capacities getting commissioned; FY15 promises to be much better,” Arora added.

Hindalco shares lost 2.45% to close at Rs.91.45 on BSE on Tuesday, while the benchmark Sensex gained 1.49% to close at 19,229.84 points.

Bhattacharya said he was confident that the coal block at Mahan in Madhya Pradesh would get the necessary government clearances by the end of this year, which would help lower the cost of production at the 359,000 tonne Mahan aluminium smelter.

“I would be very surprised if the clearance for stage II (from the government) does not come by December,” Bhattacharya said, speaking on the progress of the greenfield expansion of the company where trial production has started. Analysts are not optimistic.

“Coal security is a problem for the company and the benefit of the Mahan project will come only in FY15,” said a metals analyst with an international brokerage company who did not want to be identified.

Bhattacharya said that in the quarter, demand growth for aluminium in the country was “zero”. Another senior official said the demand growth for copper was negligible in the quarter in India.

The Indian economy grew 5% in the year ended 31 March, the slowest pace in 10 years, and metal-consuming sectors such as construction, electrical and automobiles saw muted growth.

However, there was hope that the good monsoon could spur some growth in the quarters ahead, the two officials added.

The company officials said it was looking to refinance its debt of Rs.200000 Millions (debt to equity ratio 0.38) after refinancing Rs.50000 Millions recently that led to a saving of Rs.1500 Millions in interest costs.

“We are constantly looking for possibilities for saving interest cost,” said Bhattacharya, who declined to say if another restructuring was in the offing.

The depreciating rupee in the quarter did not help compensate for the sharp price fall of aluminium prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) that serves as a benchmark for most base metal producers in India.

Aluminium prices were at Rs.102.6 per kg in the April to June quarter, down 4.11% from Rs.107 per kg in the same quarter a year ago.

On the LME, aluminium prices fell by 7.23% in the same quarter.

 

 

HINDALCO MANAGES TO REFINANCE RS.47000 MILLIONS FROM SBI AND AXIS BANK FOR ITS UTKAL ALUMINA PROJECT

In what would easily be the most aggressive financing done in recent times involving a large Indian corporate, Aditya Birla Group flagship Hindalco has managed to refinance Rs 4,7000 Millions from State Bank of India and Axis Bank for its Utkal alumina project.

At an interest rate of 10.15% payable over an eight-year period, this will imply a reduction of a whopping 300 basis points from the previous loan

Scheduled to be commissioned in the second half of this year, Utkal is a 1.5-million-tonne refinery that will feed the company's Mahan and Aditya smelters in Madhya Pradesh and Orissa, respectively. The total project cost is Rs 70090 Millions, 70% of which has been funded through debt.

The project debt of Rs.49060 Millions was tied up three years ago from a consortium of 28 public sector banks, including SBI, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and Canara Bank. Interestingly, the banks had agreed to allow Hindalco to draw down the amount over a three-year period during the construction of the plant without any commitment fees.

The company also retained the right to pre-pay the facility, without any penalty, every year. With the project gearing up for commissioning, there was much better visibility of future cash flows and EBITDA, which helped Hindalco go for refinancing on much better rates ahead of this year's loan anniversary. Of the total amount, Rs.40000 Millions was raised as a rupee term loan from the two banks at SBI's base rate plus 50 basis points, which translates to 10.20%. The remaining amount was financed from the CP market as short-term debt at 9.95% rate.

This makes it the lowest pricing achieved by any corporate in India in recent times, amid unprecedented volatility. Banking industry officials said that with most banks having a base rate higher than 10.20%, it became difficult for them to match Hindalco's expectations.

"The deal demonstrates the creditworthiness of the company and its ability to tap markets at benchmark rates in spite of liquidity and rates hardening in recent weeks. Utkal will be able to realise annual savings of approximately Rs.1500 Millions," said Alphonso Richard Das, president (finance), Hindalco. The exercise assumes significance as it was concluded in the backdrop of a challenging financial market during the past one month.

There were massive capital outflows due to concerns over the US Fed Reserve contracting its quantitative easing, following which the rupee went into a free fall resulting in 12-15% depreciation. RBI intervened with a series of steps to stem the currency's fall, but that choked up liquidity in the banking system. These sudden developments ended up spiking the government's borrowing costs to double-digit levels.

Hindalco, said corporate banking sources, also had to tweak its strategy by dropping its initial bond issue programme, and opt for bank debt. Utkal Alumina International Ltd had planned to raise Rs.20000 Millions ($335.8 million) through a 10-year floating rate paper benchmarked to the SBI base rate.
