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.

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.

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.

BUSINESS REVIEW:

 

Part of the major markets that they serve showed a lot of uncertainty in the second half of the financial year, particularly the off-highway equipment manufacturing industry and Europe geography. Automotive industry, positively recovering from the global recession, saw demand returning in global engineering resulting in a gradual increase in demand for their key offerings in engineering and PLM IT. Aerospace also showed promise though from a small base.

 

The business segments of the Company – software services, engineering services, products and embedded systems recorded the following trends in the year FY13:

 

• Software services contribution to the top line decreased from 55.45% in FY12 to 55.20% in FY13.

 

• Engineering services contribution to the top line decreased from 39.30 % in FY12 to 39.02 % in FY13.

 

• Products business contribution to the top line increased from 5.3% in FY12 to 5.7% in FY13.

 

The Company’s performance in the four regions in which they operate can be summarized as follows:

 

• USA’s share decreased from 71.3% in FY12 to 65.10% in FY13; a growth of 8% in absolute terms.

 

• Europe’s share of revenue increased from 18.4% in FY12 to 23.89% in FY13; almost two-fold growth in absolute terms which includes revenue consolidated on account of acquisition of 3cap.

 

• APAC’s share increased from 4.2% in FY12 to 4.53% in FY13.

 

• India’s share increased from 6.10% in FY12 to 6.48% in FY13.

 

These numbers reflect the positive demand environment in Europe and investments in India which continue to be their growth markets.

 

Trends in various customer segments that the Company caters to were as follows:

 

• Direct Industrial: Segment share of business Increased from 60.7% in FY12 to 61.94% in FY13. In absolute terms, this segment recorded a growth of 13.82 % over the previous year. (USD 109.62 Mn in FY13 Vs USD 96.31 Mn in FY12)

 

• Strategic Partners: Segment share of business reduced from 6.8% in FY12 to 5.18% in FY13; showing a reduction of 14.51% in absolute terms. (USD 9.04 Mn in FY13 Vs USD 10.72 Mn in FY12)

 

• Software ISVs: Segment share of business Increased from 32.6% in FY12 to 32.88% in FY13. In absolute terms, this segment recorded a growth of 12.62 % over the previous year. (USD 58.20 Mn in FY13 Vs USD 51.68 Mn in FY12)

 

In the coming financial year, their vertical organization and segregated business development focus on farming and hunting accounts will help us build closer customer relationships. Their investments in embedded systems, new IP based solutions with partners and their consulting capabilities are poised to provide comprehensive solutions for their identified accounts globally. They expect better growth coming from Europe, especially in PLM IT over the next year.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK:

 

Subject operates in the Engineering to Manufacturing space and predominantly for the engineering intensive discrete manufacturing industries. Their services, solutions and technology portfolio referred to as Engineering Services in the discussion and analysis report, covering product realization services and solutions, such as Product Lifecycle Management, Software Product Development and Global Engineering services aims to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of design, engineering and manufacturing business processes for firms across the globe.

 

FY13 saw Geometrics’ major markets start positively on a recovery path from the global recession. However the economic uncertainties and slower than expected progress particularly in the capital intensive equipment industry called for some mid-year plateau in demand. While discretionary budgets were under pressure, the positive part is that forward looking decisions and strategic initiatives in global engineering are resulting in a gradual increase in demand for their key offerings going into the new financial year.

 

The automotive industry, an important market for Subject, saw its R and D spend remain flat over the past year. A large part of the R and D investments is spent on technologies to reduce emissions, improve engine efficiency and performance and towards making cars safer. On the operational side the focus has been on making the organization more efficient, supporting globalization and industry level collaboration. A new trend emerged where the industry saw more direct OEM – OEM collaboration. This has provided opportunities for Subject to strengthen its engagements with leading automotive OEMs. Subject is favourably placed to provide solutions for the OEMs’ needs of extended collaboration and supporting their IT needs globally. The automotive OEMS in China are another area of opportunity as they open up to implement solutions for world class processes. The automotive industry is certainly promising with opportunities for Subject, however given the industry’s sourcing maturity and the economic uncertainties that the industry continues to balance, it would also put pressure on prices.

 

The Off-highway Equipment (Construction, Agriculture and Mining) industry began the previous year with the highest level of order backlogs. But each sub-segment saw a different trajectory as they progressed through the year. The construction industry remained subdued with very minor investment growth, the agriculture industry continued on a very organic growth path while the mining industry was hit with a severe downturn and the segment lost almost half of its order book. The industry on the whole has regrouped and cost cutting programs are being driven across the board. Having faced the short-term burnt, there is an opportunity for Subject to capitalize and provide solutions to their customers to help take out cost from their products, product development processes, manufacturing processes and global collaboration. Global engineering services and engineering productivity needs of the industry will strengthen even more providing us the opportunity to serve the industry locally in regions like China and India.

 

Aerospace is Geometric’s strategic growth market. The commercial aircraft sector continued to trend upwards in building upon its production momentum. Commercial aircraft demand is expected to expand over the next many years given the economic growth in emerging markets, demand for fuel-efficient planes and engine technologies. The aviation industry has an old fleet with poor economics and fuel efficiency which the industry expects to retire and replace 6,000 aircrafts in the next 15 years. The industry lead by the aircraft OEMS is pushing the speed of R and D and this is driving parallel activity increases in the aerospace supply chain, from engines, to avionics, to wiring harnesses, passenger seats and landing gear among others opening up large scale engineering opportunities. To gear up towards this major players in the industry are looking at simplifying and modernizing their IT landscapes leading to opportunities for Subject. Though the sales cycles will continue to be stretched, Subject is well positioned to address the market needs emerging particularly from Europe. The modernization of India’s air defense systems will further provide opportunities to help global companies address their offset obligations. The biggest area of R and D and new development across industries is electronics and embedded systems. The acquired capabilities of 3Cap technologies provides us the foundation to benefit from serving the growing electronics needs of their established customer base while continuing to strengthen the engagements with new customers brought in with 3Cap.

 

Partnerships with major software products providers for the engineering domain, whether for multi-year turnkey software product development programs or for co-development of new solutions continues to be Geometric’s strength. A strong governance model with their software partners to serve the end customer together will be key to their success.

 

In the manufacturing industry at large, the restructuring measures and process improvement programs are now extending to global locations and continue to drive IT and engineering outsourcing with focus to leverage the provider’s strengths in multiple geographical locations. Research and Development will continue for green technologies and localization of products for the new growth market. All of these trends are poised to deepen and widen the opportunities available for Subject.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

The Company had launched a number of strategic initiatives in the year and plans to build on these to achieve continuous improvement and steady business performance in the coming year.

CAMWORKS® HELPS MODERNIZE GODREJ PROCESS EQUIPMENT DIVISION

 

Mumbai, India, June 05, 2014: Geometric Limited, (BSE: 532312, NSE: GEOMETRIC), a leader in advanced manufacturing software, announced that through usage of its solids-based CNC programming solution, CAMWorks, Godrej’s Process Equipment Division (PED) has seen quantum improvements in machining processes.

 

Godrej Process Equipment Division (PED), part of Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing Company, manufactures custom-built and critical equipment for the process industry. The company has embarked on a modernization drive to fulfill customer demands for faster deliveries, while improving process efficiency and quality.

 

One of the key products that Godrej PED manufactures is pressure vessels. These gigantic equipments comprise of thick pressure vessel tanks that have multiple inlet and outlet nozzles. The main challenge lay in the accurate profiling of these nozzle-weld-profiles to fit the mating part so that the ensuing welding process would have a smoother transition. They, therefore, needed a tool that ensured consistency and repeatability.

 

CAMWorks addressed this need, by using Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) to consistently define features and mapping them to an intelligent knowledge database, TechDB™, to determine the machining processes. With these two technologies as the backbone, CAMWorks has been able to provide cost effective and simple-to-use software to Godrej PED with its advanced 3-Axis module to create the machining program for the WEP of nozzles and their cutouts.

 

“CAMWorks has helped us in improving the overall quality and productivity. The advanced capabilities have created a whole new automated machining experience, and has been easy to implement with the excellent support offered”, said Mr. Ashwini Kumar Garg, Chief Manager, Godrej PED. “Earlier, process required a lot of manual intervention resulting in inefficiencies in the way profiles were prepared and they lacked consistency, consequently resulting in over usage of significant weld consumables at the later stages. “We have saved approximately INR 2 Mn annually for only the nozzle profiling process. The manual operational time of 100 man-hours has also come down by 60%, thereby ensuing better production rates and consistent quality”, he added.

 

“We are very happy to partner with Godrej PED in their effort to modernize their processes. Our CAMWorks solution has been configured to interpret the manufacturing intent for machining of the J-welds, and thus ensure that repetitive tasks are standardized consuming less time and money”, said Mr. Sameer Kondejkar, Geometry Technology Solutions Vertical Head at Geometric.
