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.

OPERATIONS

 

During the financial year ended 31st March, 2013, the net profit after tax of the company was Rs.214.900 Millions, as compared to previous year's net profit after tax of Rs.175.500 Millions. The turnover was higher at Rs.7950.000 millions as compared to Rs.6730.000 Millions of the previous year, showing an increase of 18%.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT

 

The Company’s operations are organized into three business segments, namely:

 

Engineering Division – comprising of water treatment plants, spares and services in connection with the plants.

Chemicals – comprising of resins, water treatment chemicals, sugar chemicals and paper chemicals.

Consumer Products – comprising of domestic water purifiers.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

They feel that the downside risk of the global economy has reduced and we expect the Indian economic scenario also to show a substantial improvement in the next couple of years.

 

The water treatment industry can look forward to a period of growth powered by demand from the expanding municipal and industrial sectors. This industry which the company deals with is likely to be the focus of public and private investment for years to come. The average growth of the water treatment industry in India over the next few years is expected to be about 12%. Globally it is expected to grow by about 7.4%. This optimism is only tempered by the adverse effect which volatile commodities and raw material prices and exchange rate can have over the short term. These two parameters coupled with probable changes in taxation may affect industrial and commodity margins.

 

Enhanced investment in NRDWP -Rajiv Gandhi National Rural Drinking Water Mission: National Rural Drinking Water Programme and HPCL -Barmer projects give out a strong message of India's undeterred growth and development amidst the stringent economic backdrop. They expect more such policies which will benefit the water treatment industry as water is a key focus area for the Government. The water industry also finds favour with other influencers of the policy making process, as it impacts all segments of society across urban and rural India. The prospects of their industry will be positively reinforced by continued pattern of uneven rainfall, depleting water table across urban and rural and directions issued by the government for treating and re-using of water for industrial, commercial and domestic purposes.

 

The key business opportunity in future would be Wastewater Treatment, Desalination and Zero Liquid Discharge process catering to industrial as well as municipal domains.

 

In the field of waste water treatment more than 60% business being unorganized, we expect consolidation to take place with customers moving towards technology which provides high end solutions as well as high quality of service. The company has an advantage on both these fronts which will help it to expand its business. They expect it to be a challenging period for smaller players and new entrants.

 

Apart from waste water treatment, service management is a challenging and crucial parameter for client acquisition and relationship management. The company has one of the largest and most extensive network of service personnel with an unparalleled ability to serve retail as well as large industrial customers.

 

The company also enjoys competitive advantage in key areas such as - extensive production facilities, superior human capital, emphasis on innovative technology, research and development and high quality services. They will continue to augment these strengths with further investments in their in house research and development programs and by forging partnerships with leading global technological innovators. This will help the company to continue managing the risk of the uncertain and volatile business environment and maintain its standing as a leader in this field.

 

They remain committed to continuing their endeavour to remain the premier water treatment company in India with a focus to deliver value to the society as well as to all its stakeholders.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Global Economy

Four years after the global financial crisis some of the dark clouds threatening the global economy have started to lift. There are indications that growth is picking up in Japan and the United States. However, the global economy continues to be fragile and sluggish Developing countries were responsible for more than half of the global growth in2012 and will continue to be the growth engines for the next few years. India and China still outperform most of the countries in terms of growth. While there are hopes of the global economy recovering, the crisis is still not over with even India and China witnessing a substantial slowdown.

 

Indian Economy

The Indian economy grew at the rate of 5% in 2012 -13 which was the slowest for the decade. Over the past few months the slowdown has become more widespread, it now affects core industries, infrastructure and even the services sector. Growth continues to be hampered by the global economy slowdown, inflation, tight monetary policy, high interest rates and policy bottlenecks. The volatility in the exchange rates has added to the burden faced by the economy. Although, policy measures were taken by the Government and the RBI to reign in the situation, its impact was not immediate. We expect the benefits to flow over a period of time.

 

Indian Engineering Industry

The Indian engineering industry is now challenged with a dwindling pipeline of orders as new project investments are getting deferred and existing projects are being slowed down. Investments in the industrial segment such as the steel sector and electricity generation were substantially hit the slowdown coupled with the tight monetary policy has also had an adverse impact on the cash liquidity in the industry. In spite of the subdued investment scenario they are still witnessing influx of funds through Government and public-sector enterprises. They have managed to brave the tough environment because of adequate order bank which was available at the start of the financial year.

 

Services and Chemical Business Segments

These segments were less impacted by the slowdown in the economy. While growth in the market size was limited, the volume of business from existing customers did not witness too much shrinkage. Major players in this segment focused on retaining existing business and prevent erosion in margins. The segment continues to be difficult for new entrants and change in the competitive landscape was more due to internal reorganizations of the major players. Although, margins in the services and chemical business were under pressure, these segments fared better than the engineering industry with respect to both cash flows and margins.

 

Adverse Impact on Margins

The restricted set of opportunities and the state of the economy has led to intense competition in the industry and consequently a downward pressure on margins. Another factor having an adverse impact on prices was raw material prices. Volatility in the raw material prices reduced during the year but, the high prices continued to put downward pressure on margins.

 

The Silver Lining

Even with substantial impediments to growth the Indian water treatment market grew at10% in 2012-13 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% till 2017. Further, in spite of the challenging environment, the company's emphasis on total water management solutions with a reputation to provide cost effective and best technological solutions has helped the company to expand its presence in the Indian as well as the global market.

 

HIGHLIGHTS OF PERFORMANCE

 

Gross turnover for the year 2012-2013 was Rs.7950.000 Millions. Profit after tax was Rs.214.900 Millions as compared to Rs.175.500 Millions in the previous year.

 

The Turnover for the year jumped by more than 18% and the profit after Tax showed a marked improvement of more than 22%.

 

SEGMENTWISE OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The business of your company can be segmented into:

1. Engineering

2. Chemicals

3. Consumer Products

 

Engineering

In this segment the Company designs, manufactures and sells medium and large size equipment for water and waste water treatment plants. The segment achieved turnover of Rs.4770.000 Millions compared to Rs.4110.000 Millions for the previous year.

 

In spite of higher turnover the performance of the segment was affected due to Global economic slowdown, inflation, tight monetary policy, high interest rates and policy bottlenecks. The segment faced challenges due to postponement of investment in Infrastructure projects and slow down of investment in existing projects. Good order bank available at the start of the financial year helped the segment to tide over the challenge.

 

The emphasis of the Company on total water management solutions and company's strength to provide high quality technological solutions will provide additional opportunity for growth in the coming year.

 

Chemicals

The segment achieved Sales turnover of Rs.2340.000 Millions as compared to Rs.1810.000 Millions of the previous year with a growth of 29 %.

 

During the year domestic Sales increased for Conventional and Specialty Resins, Water Treatment Chemicals, RO chemicals, Mining and Refinery Chemicals business. The new Refinery process chemical business made a good start this year.

 

Exports of resins to US, Europe and Far East have shown a marked improvement; the exports of resin have grown by 53% over the previous year. New customers developed in Europe and Korea are likely to further enhance the exports of resins in the next financial year. Also the focus given to International Markets in FY 2012-13 is likely to increase export business for Water Treatment and RO Chemicals in the next financial year.

 

Margins in the chemicals business remained under pressure due to increase in raw material prices and depreciation of Rupee. Company has started in house manufacturing of few intermediates and Raw Materials i.e. Polyamines, Polydadmac, which will bring down the cost.

 

The New Pharma facility in Ankleshwar is operational and the Company has started manufacturing both excipients and drug actives in this facility. Various customers from US and Europe have audited the facility as a first step to start business with us in this segment. Drug Actives have large potential in the US and European Market. We have also obtained WHO-GMP certification for this facility. The outlook for this segment is positive.

 

Consumer Products

The Home Water Solutions (HWS) division achieved a turnover of Rs.590.600 millions. The division showed positive signs of recovery with a net profit of Rs.0.200 Million as compared to a loss of Rs.54.600 Millions in the previous year. The revenue per employee also showed an increase of Rs.0.037 Million during this period.

 

The Canteen Sales Division (CSD) business which was activated in this year brought in sales worth Rs.13.200 Millions.

For this technological innovation Zero B Eco RO won the prestigious Water Digest – Water Awards 2012-13 in association with UNESCO for 'Best Water R&D and Technological Breakthrough'.

 

The home water purifier market is a dynamic market with a lot of new players entering the market as well as new products being launched. Taking the market dynamics into consideration the company will continue to provide good quality products and services to meet the requirements of existing and potential customers.

 

The institutional division which primarily focuses on segments like construction, hotels and hospitals, educational institutes, corporate offices and PSUs like defense establishments, railways, state transport corporations etc showed improved productivity during this fiscal. The productivity levels have gone up by almost 25% during this period.

 

Growing demand for Sewage treatment in the construction segment and market demand for the newly introduced 'Membranes Bio Reactor' (MBR) technology has witnessed changes in the buying pattern of the customers in this segment. The division has already won prestigious projects for MBR in the education segment and will continue to focus on MBR prospects in the future. This division has concentrated on growing the network of authorized dealers to improve the company's market reach which has resulted in improved performance. In the near future this division plans to grow the network strength to over 100 dealers targeting 35%growth in sales over this year's achievement.

 

This segment has also expanded its product offering by adding the swimming pool range and allied accessories which offer large prospects across India. The pre-fab pool an innovative concept introduced in India by the company is yet another revolutionary product which will offer cost effective solution for tier II and III cities.

 

The needs of the rural communities is being met by partnering with PHEDs (Public Health Engineering Departments) across the country in order to make available efficient, affordable, easy to use and maintain products and technologies. Expanding the local distribution network in order to reach the remote areas was another important focus area during the year.

 

New fluoride removal hand pump attachment units were launched in this year in collaboration with NGOs and PHEDs.

 

In the current year, the company will continue to increase its reach in the rural market through the expansion of its network and introduction of products which are suitable for the rural customers.

The Amalgamation has been accounted for under the “Pooling of interest” method as prescribed under AS -14 “Accounting for Amalgamations” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Accordingly the accounting treatment has been given as under –

 

The assets, liabilities, reserves and credit balance of profit and loss of the transferor company as at 1st April 2012 have been incorporated at their book values in the financial statements of the company.

 

8,28,800 equity shares of Rs.10 each fully paid up of transferor company stands cancelled. Further, 2,87,058 equity shares of Rs.10 each fully paid up of the Company held by the transferor company also stands cancelled.

 

Consequent to this amalgamation and after considering the extinguishment of shares held in transferor company by the Company, 11,80,256 Equity Shares of Rs.10 each, aggregating to Rs.11.803 millions, of the company are to be issued to the shareholders of the transferor company. Pending allotment of the said equity shares such amount of Rs.11.803 millions has been included in the share capital suspense account as at 31st March 2013.

 

The excess of the book value of the investment held by transferor company in the equity share capital of Company amounts to Rs.14.149 millions, Investment held by company in the Equity share capital of transferor Company amounts to Rs.0.921 million and the excess of share capital of transferor company over the amount credited by the company to the share capital suspense account amounts to Rs.3.512 millions and accordingly the net amount of Rs.18.585 millions has been adjusted to the Capital Reserves of the Company.

 

Consequently, the financial statement for the year ended on 31st March 2013 includes the operations of transferor company with effect from 1st April 2012.

 

The Company has as per AS-14, during the current year, changed (with retrospective effect) the method of providing depreciation on fixed assets, from Written Down Value ('WDV') method to Straight line method (SLM) method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV o# the Companies Act, 1956 in respect of assets held by transferor company to ensure that uniform set of accounting policies are followed after amalgamation. Had the Company continued to use the earlier basis of providing depreciation, the charge to the Profit and loss account for the current period would have been higher by Rs.4.748 millions and net block of fixed assets would correspondingly have been lower by Rs..4.748 millions.
