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.

The Profit after tax was at Rs 950.600 Millions as against Rs 1126.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

The Company continues to be a net foreign exchange earner for the sixteenth year in succession.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

India’s gross domestic product and the Index of Industrial Production registered a growth of about 5% (7%) and 1% (2.8%) respectively during the financial year 2012-13, reflecting a slower growth of the Indian economy than in the previous year. Growth rate has been the slowest in the last ten years.

 

The global economy grew very slowly with emerging economies registering a slow growth. The US economy showed better signs of growth; however various indices of the US economy fluctuated erratically making it difficult to arrive at a definite conclusion that economic recovery is under way. Problems created by "fiscal cliff" depressed the sentiments. The European economies have been stressed due to financial crisis in a number of countries in the Euro zone and spending cuts of unprecedented magnitude mandated under rescue packages for avoiding sovereign bankruptcy of some nations in the Euro zone.

 

The domestic market was subdued due to macro-economic problems, high inflation, high petroleum product prices, high interest rates and poor consumer sentiment.

 

There was an improvement in the sales of passenger cars during 2012 in the US and contraction in Europe. In the overseas markets, the CV industry has continued to struggle, with sales recorded at much lower than peak levels.

Growth levels in sales of passenger cars may remain muted during 2013, especially in Europe, due to high levels of unemployment and volatile consumer confidence.

 

DOMESTIC SALES

 

Domestic sales showed a decline at Rs 1,3470.000 millions from Rs 1,4510.000 millions in the light of drop in production of vehicles, especially Medium and Heavy commercial vehicles. Demand from automotive OEMs was muted throughout the year. Aftermarket sales showed a slow growth as confidence levels of dealers were low resulting in carrying lower stocks. Upsurge in petrol prices resulted in a shift towards diesel powered vehicles affecting some manufacturing units of the Company adversely.

 

EXPORTS

 

The US market showed signs of recovery and the confidence levels of the Company's customers were tempered by slowdown in Europe and the challenges posed by events like the "US fiscal cliff". European markets continued to be hit by recession and negative sentiments. Exports were at Rs 6780.000 millions as against Rs 6450.000 millions in the previous year, an increase of 5%. Export sales were around 34% of the overall sales revenues. The Company’s push for adding new products and new customers is expected to result in further improvement in exports in the near future. Volatility in exchange rates and slow recovery in demand from European customers are causes for concern.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Depressed market conditions resulted in lower sales in many of the units of the Company. Raw material prices were steady during the year. Other input costs rose across the board, especially of petroleum based products.

Non-availability of power due to scheduled power-cuts up to 40%, power-holidays and unscheduled power outages forced the Company to purchase power and resort to self generation at higher costs. Wages increased as dearness allowance increased in line with the cost of living index. High levels of inflation had a direct impact on wage costs. The Company continued to be under pressure due to rising manufacturing costs. Freight rates also increased in line with increase in cost of diesel and other inputs related to the transportation industry.

 

During the year, PBIDT (Profit before interest, foreign exchange fluctuation, depreciation, exceptional income and tax) was at Rs 2836.300 millions as against Rs 3131.600 millions in the previous year.

 

The Company made substantial investments in creation of capacities for new products and additional capacities for manufacture of existing products to meet projected demand from domestic and international customers. These investments resulted in additional interest costs. Tight money policies followed by Reserve Bank of India resulted in steep increase in interest rates on rupee borrowings and forward premiums in respect of foreign currency borrowings. Financing costs, including premiums on forward cover and adverse foreign exchange variations of Rs 402.700 millions (Rs 573.000 millions) on foreign currency borrowings, were at Rs 813.500 millions as against Rs 922.000 millions in the previous year. In line with the Accounting Standard AS-11 (dealing with the effects of change in foreign exchange rates) and to ensure the principles of consistency, the Company recognises the exchange differences arising out of foreign currency denominated items as expense or income in the statement of profit and loss. It may be noted that even after providing for foreign exchange losses, the net borrowing costs of the company would be more cost-effective than rupee loans on a door-to-door basis.

 

Depreciation was higher at Rs 716.200 millions (Rs 636.100 millions) on account of increased capital expenditure incurred over the recent years.

 

Profit before tax was lower at Rs 1306.700 millions (Rs 1573.400 millions). Exceptional items resulted in a net income of Rs 12.800 millions. Profit after tax amounted to Rs 950.600 millions (Rs 1126.000 millions).

 

FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES

 

CHINA

 

Sundram Fasteners (Zhejiang) Limited (SFZL), China manufactures high tensile fasteners and bearing housings.

Sales and other income during the year 2012 amounted to RMB 114.031 million (Rs 9,692.67 lakhs) as against RMB 118.39 million (Rs 8,55.966 millions) during 2011. The operations resulted in a net profit of RMB 5.323 million (Rs 42.009 millions) as against a profit of RMB 5.010 million (Rs 34.113 millions) in 2011.

 

The business environment in China deteriorated during the last quarter of 2012 and remained dull during the first four months of 2013. The Chinese economy is expected to recover ahead of economies of other countries. New products for existing customers and addition of new customers will enable SFZL to post sizable better results in future years. SFZL has retained certifications according to ISO /TS16949-2002 and ISO 9000-2000.

 

The Company has so far invested USD 13 million (Rs 5,68.760 millions) in the Equity capital.

 

GERMANY

 

German operations are carried out through 100% subsidiary companies viz. Peiner Umformtechnik GmbH (Peiner), TVS Peiner Services GmbH (TVSP) and PUT Gründstücks GmbH (PUTG). Peiner manufactures a wide range of standard and special fasteners catering to the automotive, industrial and construction sectors. TVSP is engaged in providing warehousing and logistical services. PUTG owns the land and buildings from where Peiner operates. The Company has invested Euro 8.724 millions (Rs 4,82.212 millions) in Equity capital besides lending Euro 8.050 million (Rs 5,59.400 millions) to meet short term requirements.

 

Revenues during the year 2012 amounted to Euro 54.54 million (Rs 37,63.082 millions) as against Euro 66.923 million (Rs 43,88.606 millions) during 2011. The operations resulted in a loss before depreciation and taxes of Euro 3.420 million (Rs 2,35.230 millions) as against loss of Euro 2.866 million (Rs 1,92.538 millions) during 2011. Loss after taxes amounts to Euro 4.546 million (Rs 3,12.914 millions) during 2012 as against Euro 4.270 million (Rs 2,88.191 millions) during 2011.

 

Uncertain economic conditions prevailing in Europe continued to impact German operations. There has been a slight improvement during 2013. Substantial improvement will only happen when European markets return to normal.

 

The Company has entered into a 50% joint venture with a German partner to set up a plant for manufacture of fasteners for wind energy generators (WEG) and has invested Euro 3.0 million by way of equity capital and loans.

As the emphasis on production of clean energy is likely to gather pace after the shutdown of nuclear plants, demand for WEG is likely to increase. The facility located at Hohenstein in eastern part of Germany has commenced operations during the first quarter of calendar year 2013.

 

UK OPERATIONS

 

Cramlington Precision Forge Limited (CPFL) UK, a 100% subsidiary of the Company, is engaged in manufacture of precision forged components for application in heavy vehicles for on-highway and off-highway applications.

The Company has invested GBP 1.9 million (Rs 1,52.314 millions) in CPFL.

 

Sales and other income during the year 2012 amounted to GBP 8.763 million (Rs 7,45.342 millions) as against GBP 9.346 million (Rs 7,03.642 millions) during 2011. CPFL made a net profit after tax of GBP 0.646 million (Rs 53.206 millions) as against a net profit of GBP 0.913 million (Rs 72.276 millions) during 2011. CPFL paid dividends totaling GBP 2,40,000 (Rs 21.031 millions) during December 2012.

 

Recessionary conditions in Europe affected sales volumes as the entire sales are made to customers in Europe.

Increased volumes and cost control is expected to help in achieving satisfactory results during 2013. Orders in the pipeline and development and manufacture of parts for a new customer will help further improve capacity utilisation. Outlook for 2013 appears to be better than 2012.
