COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

Vesuvius India Limited is a public company domiciled and headquartered in India. It is incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and its shares are listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and trading of refractory goods. The Company also provided services in relation to refractory goods. The Company has operations in India and caters to both domestic and international markets.

 

 

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, INTERNAL CONTROL

 

It continued to be a difficult period for the Indian economy reflected by lower GDP, inflationary trends and lower industrial production. The steel industry, which comprises the biggest group of the Company's customers, also faced a similar difficult period. Poor availability of iron ore and other raw materials resulted in reduced production and major expansion projects have been delayed. These have had a negative impact on their business.

 

This year total revenue increased by over Rs.205.800 Millions driven by domestic growth in spite of the slowdown in domestic steel production while exports had marginally reduced.

 

 

Increase in raw material prices, energy and transportation and adverse foreign exchange fluctuation have placed a burden on the margins for the year. Margin decline was most severe at the beginning of the year. Focussed action on cost, internal efficiencies and price optimisation helped restore profitability by year end.

 

The Kolkata plant expansion was completed in April 2012 and the plant is ready to cater to the proposed increased demand of customers. Freehold land at Visakhapatnam has been purchased and possession obtained for setting up the fifth plant of the Company. An international standard Research and Development Centre is also proposed at this location.

 

The Company always engages with customers to enable them to be aware of the systems and processes internally followed by the Company. In one such interaction, Mr. AP Choudhry, Chairman and Managing Director of Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited visited their Blast Furnace -III at Visakhapatnam and interacted with the Vesuvius team working at that site. He was delighted with the processes being followed and appreciated that all team members strictly adhered to the Health and Safety norms.

 

The LD3 CSP caster-1 at Tata Steel was commissioned successfully in February 2012. Vesuvius provided the entire tundish refractory and application for this caster. The entire refractory job for the new 1.2 million tons per annum pellet ("MTPA") plant of BMM Ispat which was commissioned during the year was provided by the Company. Similar turnkey refractory supply and installation was done at Essar Steel's 6 MTPA iron ore pelletisation furnace in Paradip. The largest boiler gunning repair work was done for JSW Energy at Barmer during the year.

 

All four factories had been working at near full efficiency during the year. In-plant rejection for all manufactured items have been further reduced due to improved processes. Safety measures and processes have been installed at all plants and work sites.

 

The Company has in place an established internal control system designed to ensure proper recording of financial and operational information and compliance of various internal controls and other regulatory and statutory compliances. Internal Audit has been conducted on a pan India basis.

 

The Company has complied with the provision of the Code on Internal Control which require that the Directors review the effectiveness of internal controls including financial, operational and compliance control and risk management systems. Self-certification exercises are also conducted by which senior management certify effectiveness of the internal control system for which they are responsible together with the Company's policies.

 

 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE

 

The Company is primarily a manufacturer and trader of refractory and is managed organizationally as a single unit. Accordingly, the Company is a single business segment company. Geographical (secondary) segment has been identified as domestic sales and exports.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS, OUTLOOK, RISKS AND CONCERNS

 

It continues to be a difficult period for the Indian economy. GDP has become lower at around 5% while inflation remains high. Foreign exchange fluctuation have also added to the concerns and estimates had to be revised. The steel industry, which is the major customer of the Company, which have been impacted with shortage of iron ore and other raw material have reduced volumes and have delayed their expansion plans.

 

Competition activities have increased causing pressure on margins. International refractory companies are now strategically entering Indian and South Asian markets.

 

Other industries like Aluminium, Cement, Power etc where the Company also operates, have also been facing similar slow down due to reduced demand.

 

The Company trades in refractory based solutions and steel industry comprises the biggest group of its customers. Hence anything that affects the steel industry will have its one off effect on their business. India is set to emerge as the second largest producer and consumer of steel in the next few years and refractory being an essential requirement in steel industry will see increased demand. The Kolkata plant expansion was completed in April 2012 and is ready to meet any increased demands of the customer.

All business operations have risks and threats attached to them most of which may be outside the control of the Company. Apart from the concerns over raw material prices and availability, fluctuations in exchange rates, inflationary pressures, adverse political or regulatory developments, aggressive competition and chances of a reduction in customer output leading to lower demands are some perceived threats.

 

During the year a risk analysis and assessment was conducted in line with the Group requirements and no major risks were noticed.

Note: Cost of tooling purchased during the earlier years were fully expensed for the purpose of ascertaining income tax liability for that years. Vide order dated December 16, 2003, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) directed the department to allow expenses based on quantity consumed. The Company has disputed such decision on the contention that the entire purchase is issued to the production process and hence should be treated as consumption. Relevant order from authorities giving effect of ITAT order is yet to be received. The Company has made an application to the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta seeking further clarifications of the ITAT order. The Company has again claimed full deduction in respect of tooling received during the year for determining the taxable income for the assessment year 2009-2010 and thereafter. Contingent liability with respect to tooling is included in para (c) above, under the head - 'Other Income Tax matters'.

 

(ii) A counter claim has been filed against the Company before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta by a customer for claims aggregating Rs 749 (previous year Rs 749) regarding certain disputes relating to goods supplied by the Company in prior years.
