INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

NEWS

 

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.

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.

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.

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 with 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.

The GDP growth in India during the year is estimated to have been around 5%. Inflation was at very high levels during the first half of the year, but has gradually come down to 7% by the end of the year. The Indian Rupee witnessed a seesaw against the US Dollar and hovered between Rs.55 to 56/$ levels on the average. All the above factors went to weaken the overall economic mood of the country.

 

The International tourists arrival, worldwide, have grown to 1.035 billion in 2012, 4% above 2011 and are forecast to grow at a moderate pace in 2013. While emerging economies (constituting 47%) grew by 4.1%, the developed economies (constituting 53%) grew by 3.6%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW OF THE GLOBAL AND INDIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY

 

The international travel and tourism industry continues to show moderate growth and as per United Nations World

Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) International Tourist Arrivals, worldwide, grew by 4% in 2012 to reach 1.035 billion from 996 million in 2011. As per World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) estimates, travel and tourism sector’s importance to the global economy continued to grow. Its economic contribution, from both direct and indirect activities combined, was US$6.6 trillion in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 260 million jobs, US$764 billion in investment and US$1.2 trillion in exports. Thus, travel and tourism sector accounts for 9.3% of global GDP, 1 in 11 jobs, 5% of investment and 5% of exports.

 

Emerging economies (representing 47% of global arrivals) grew by 4.1% in volumes over 2011 which was higher than developed economies (representing 53% of global arrivals) which grew by 3.6% in volumes, which has been a long term trend now in the industry. Demand held well throughout the year across regions, with a strong fourth quarter. Asia Pacific continued to lead the regions with a 7% growth, much higher than the global average.

 

In terms of regional performance in the hospitality sector, a RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) growth of about 4% to 6% was observed in 2012 in America, Middle East and South East Asia by Smith Travel Research Global (STR). Europe and the Indian subcontinent however, saw a decline in RevPARs of 4% and 12% respectively. Supply-Demand mismatch in the Indian subcontinent and economic volatility in the Eurozone are the primary reasons for this performance trend.

 

As per WTTC, in India, the total direct and indirect economic impact of the travel and tourism industry was Rs.6,385 billion, being 6.6% of the GDP and over 39 million jobs. As per statistics updated by the Indian Ministry of Tourism, the Foreign Tourist Arrivals in India for 2012 has been 6.65 million which is a 5.4% increase over 6.31 million tourists of 2011 – there has been a considerable slowdown in the growth rate as compared to the 9.2% growth in 2011, although it is at par with the global scenario. Foreign Exchange Earnings from tourism increased to Rs.944870.000 millions in 2012 from Rs.775910.000 millions in 2011, with a growth rate in earnings of 21.8% over 2011.

 

In terms of hospitality industry performance in India, data from STR reports indicate that the overall rates, occupancies and RevPAR have seen a decline in 2012, owing to the impact of increased supply in the marketplace and this trend is expected to continue for the next few years, given the gestation period for new hotel supply. The overall RevPAR for the industry is at Rs.3,625 which is still 10% lower than the peak RevPAR seen in 2008.

 

FUTURE PROSPECTS:

 

The UNWTO expects growth to continue in 2013 at 3%, in line with UNWTO long term forecast. While Asia Pacific and America will lead the growth, Europe and Middle East are expected to remain under pressure.

 

As per WTTC, Foreign Tourist Arrivals to India are forecasted to grow at a rate of 8% - 9% in the next few years and predict that India will receive 14 million tourists by 2023.

 

While key source markets of America and Europe are expected to continue to be the largest contributors to tourism, domestic short haul travel across Asia Pacific continues to be a growing trend, with Asia Pacific being the growth driver for outbound tourism. The Domestic Indian traveller has emerged in 2012 and increasing discretionary spends continue to propel domestic travel and tourism.

 

According to the STR Global Construction Pipeline Report, as of March 2013, the Asia Pacific hotel development pipeline comprises over 1,700 hotels and over 3.8 lakh rooms. India reported an expected room growth of 29% with 54,478 rooms in its total active pipeline open. The Upscale segment accounts for the largest portion of rooms in the total active pipeline with 26%, followed by the Upper Upscale segment at 23% and the Luxury segment at 18%.

 

Taj Group has also positioned itself to capture the maximum benefit from the industry boom in India. Taj Group recently launched its 100th hotel in India and is also pursuing a growth strategy across each of the different segments over the next few years, with its distinct brands ‘Taj’ in the Luxury segment, ‘Vivanta by Taj’ in the Upper Upscale segment, Gateway in the Upscale segment and ‘Ginger’ in the Economy segment, following its Brand Architecture initiative.

BUSINESS EXCELLENCE

 

Wining the JRDQV Award through adoption of the Tata Business Excellence Model

 

The Company has won the prestigious and coveted JRDQV Award this year. The award is conferred on companies scoring at least 600 out of a maximum score of 1,000.

 

Each company writes an application in which it describes what job it does and how it does the job in the context of the criteria set by TBEM. This application is then “assessed” by trained TBEM assessors who study the document, visit the company and interact with its people, draw out the strengths and the improvement opportunities, and then provide feedback to the leadership team. An in-built scoring mechanism enables the company to track its progress over time and ensure that it keeps improving.

 

The Company has diligently pursued business excellence by adopting the Tata Business Excellence Model (TBEM) both in letter and spirit. The process demands a certain discipline and the results of the assessments are very useful to the company leading to process improvements, new initiatives and enterprise wide improvement and innovation projects and ensuring enhanced focus on Climate Change, Innovation, Corporate Governance and Safety.

 

Internal TBEM Blitzes are conducted at hotels, to assess process readiness and drive improvements, establishing synergies across hotels and regions and associates are trained on quality improvement methodologies and problem solving tools to equip associates with the skills required to improve processes that they work with, thus preventing recurring issues or breakdowns of service and impacting guest satisfaction scores positively.

 

Balanced Scorecard enables Data Driven Decision making

 

The Company has installed automated Balanced Scorecards across all hotels, key corporate functions and at the Enterprise level. With more than 100 scorecards and 1500 users across hotels, the BSC system allows managers across levels to access data and information relevant to role and responsibility, enabling decision making. The data for these measures are updated automatically through integration with legacy hotel systems across the functions, translating the organization’s strategic plan into the “marching orders” for the organization on a daily basis.

 

Customer Driven Excellence

 

The Company is continually looking at strengthening its focus on Customer Centricity. Initiatives to gather more feedback from guests, data mining, identification of improvement opportunities are uniformly deployed across hotels, reflecting in process and product improvement. Guest feedback is used in conjunction with feedback from mystery shopper audits to align guest expectations and performance on products and services to build guest delight.

Notes:

 

1. These results were reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board on May 29, 2014, and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on May 30, 2014. These results have been audited by the Statutory Auditors of the Company.


2. The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 are derived after taking into account the audited financial information for the period of 9 months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

3. Net Sales/Income from Operations for the year ended March 31, 2014, improved by 3% over the previous year in what continued to be a challenging environment for the sector.

 

4. Exceptional Item - Others for the current year and quarter ended March 31, 2014 covering the standalone financials are explained as under:


a. The Board of Directors at its meeting held on November 8, 2013 decided not to pursue the offer made for acquisition of Orient-Express Hotels Limited and in view of the above, the Company reviewed its carrying value of long term investments and considered it prudent to recognise a further diminution, other than temporary, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, of Rs.2870.000 millions in its investment in Taj International Hotels (HK) Limited (a WOS), which in turn holds investments in the Company's various international entities, one of which holds its investment in Orient-Express Hotels Limited.


b. The performance of the long term investments of the Company were being monitored by the Company on a continuous basis and further, at a meeting of the Board of Directors held on March 11, 2014, a review was undertaken of adjustments necessary to the carrying values of these investments and based on conclusions reached, the Company has recognised a further diminution, other than temporary, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, of Rs.4000.000 millions which includes diminution in its investment in International Hotel Management Services Inc (a WOS that holds the Company's assets in the USA) as also a diminution in its investment in Taj International Hotels (HK) Limited (a WOS) on account on the latter's financial exposures.

 

c. During the last quarter, the Company has also created a provision for contingency towards property tax, of Rs.190.400 millions relating to one of its hotels. Separately, an amount of Rs.89.000 millions has been written off during the quarter, being expenses incurred on a Greenfield hotel project that is no longer being pursued for commercial reasons.


5. The consolidated financial results for the year ended March 31, 2014 have been determined after an exceptional charge of Rs.5256.900 millions has been taken by the Group (the Company and its subsidiaries comprise the Group) on account of provisions for other than temporary diminution in the value of long term investments, loss in respect of receivables evaluated as doubtful of recovery, employee separations under voluntary retirement scheme and other obligations, the key elements having been described in paragraph 4 above.

 

6. On account of the Loss After Tax reported by the Company during the current year, resultant of the recognition of the other than temporary diminution in the value of some of the investments, the Board of Directors do not recommend a dividend for the year 2013/14 (previous year Rs.0.80 per share).


7. The formulae used for calculation of Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Interest Service Coverage Ratio are as follows:

a. Debt Service Coverage Ratio = (Profit before Tax + Interest (Net) + Provision for diminution in value of long term investments + Depreciation)/(Interest (Net) + Principal Repayment of long-term Debt).

 

b. Interest Service Coverage Ratio = (Profit before Tax + Interest (Net) + Provision for diminution in value for long term investments + Depreciation) / Interest (Net).

 

c. The ratios have been computed on a trailing twelve months basis.

 

8. The Consolidated financial results of the Company have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, based on the audited accounts of its Subsidiaries, Joint Ventures and Associate companies. The Consolidated Net Sales/ Income from Operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 grew by 9% over the preceding year.

 

9. Figures of the previous period/year have been regrouped/reclassified, wherever necessary, to conform to the current period's classification.

 

10. In accordance with the requirements of the Equity Listing Agreement entered into by the Company with the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on March 27, 2014 had, inter alia, considered and approved, subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company to the extent applicable, and receipt of relevant approvals from regulatory authorities, as may be required, issue of compulsorily convertible debentures by way of a Rights Issue to the existing shareholders of the Company on a record date for an amount not exceeding Rs.10000.000 millions in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) regulations, 2009, as amended. The terms and conditions of the Rights Issue including the rights entitlement ratio, the issue price, record date, timing of the Rights Issue and other related matters shall be decided subsequently by a duly constituted committee of the Board pursuant to receipt of the required regulatory approvals for the Issue.

Shares of Indian Hotels jumped to 49-month high at Rs.109.75 per share, up 4 percent intraday on Wednesday as it firms up its fund raising plans.

 

The company will issue 9 compulsorily convertible debenture (CCD) for every 40 equity shares to raise up to Rs.10000.000 millions via rights issue. The rights issue committee has fixed price at Rs.55 per CCD.

 

The CCDs will be converted into equity shares after 18 months from the date of allotment. No interest shall be paid and there will be no redemption while the CCDs will be unsecured CCD.

 

“The conversion price shall be adjusted for any bonus or rights issue made by the company prior to the conversion date so as to ensure that the benefit of the CCD holder is not prejudiced and remains the same as if the conversion of the CCDs into the equity shares had been undertaken prior to such bonus or rights issue,” the company said in a statement to BSE.

 

The company has appointed Centbank Financial Services as debenture trustee.

 

The Taj group firm also said that the CCDs and equity shares proposed to be issue shall be listed and admitted for trading on the BSE and NSE subject to necessary approvals.

 

At 13:21 hrs, the stock was quoting at Rs.108.00, up Rs.2.35, or 2.22 percent on the BSE.
