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.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Pantaloons Fashion and Retail Limited (Formerly Peter England Fashions and Retail Limited) is a public Company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. In the current year, pursuant to a scheme of arrangement as sanctioned by the Honourable High Court of Bombay, vide order dated March 1, 2013, the ‘Pantaloon Format’ of Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited (the ‘Demerged Undertaking’) has been vested into the Company with effect from July 1, 2012 (the ‘Appointed Date’). Pursuant to this scheme, the name of the Company has changed from Peter England Fashions and Retail Limited to Pantaloons Fashion and Retail Limited.

 

The Company operates a national chain of “Pantaloons” stores of apparels and fashion accessories.

 

 

REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE

 

The Company reported revenue at Rs.12850.000 Millions during fiscal 2012-13. The Company opened 6 new Pantaloons stores and 3 Pantaloons Factory Outlets during the nine months ending 31st March 2013. Gross margin was sustained, however, moderated sales growth and higher retailing costs impacted EBITDA margin. Change in the accounting policy, for instance, with respect to Lease rental straight lining, also lowered profitability.

 

It is pertinent to note that in terms of the Scheme the conduct of the Demerged Undertaking was managed by FRL on behalf of the Company till the Effective Date (i.e April 8, 2013) in the ordinary course of business.

 

 

FINANCE

 

The Company continues with various initiatives for bringing down the cost of borrowings which includes application of short-term instruments like commercial paper, working capital demand loans within working capital borrowing, long term loans for expansion at competitive terms, so as to have funds at competitive cost.

 

Pursuant to the Scheme, debt of Rs.16000.000 Millions at an interest rate of ~13% was transferred to the Company. With a view to optimise the Finance Cost, it was decided to reshuffle the debt portfolio. Accordingly, post effectiveness of the Scheme, the Company raised term loans of Rs.6000.000 Millions and Non-convertible Debentures of Rs.3000.000 Millions and re-paid Rs.8000.000 Millions out of the transferred debt. The average interest rate of long term debt portfolio got reduced to ~ 10.2%.

 

 

SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND FUTURE RETAIL LIMITED

 

In the year, the Board of Directors had approved acquisition of “Pantaloons Format Business” (Demerged Undertaking) of Future Retail Limited (FRL) (earlier known as Pantaloon Retail (India) Limited) by way of demerger through a Scheme of Arrangement under Sections 391-394 of the Companies Act, 1956 between FRL, the Company, and their respective shareholders and creditors and Indigold Trade and Services Limited (ITSL) (as the shareholder of the Company) (“the Scheme”).

 

The demerger of the Demerged Undertaking will expand the variety of the Company’s offering in the market and complement its existing portfolio. Further, it will enable wider distribution of products and give a wider choice to the consumers and enable business to build on their systems and processes to improve efficiencies. The stores operating under the brand name Pantaloons and derivatives thereof would remain operational and the Company will carry the same brands.

 

Hon’ble Competition Commission of India and Hon’ble High Court of Bombay vide their order dated December 21, 2012 and March 1, 2013 respectively had approved the Scheme. On receipt of all the requisite approvals required and on completion of the Conditions Precedent listed in the Scheme, the Board of Directors of the Company in their meeting held on April 08, 2013 made Scheme effective on April 8, 2013 (Effective Date). Accordingly, the entire Demerged Undertaking was transferred to and vested in the Company w.e.f July 1, 2012 (Appointed Date).

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDIAN RETAIL INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

India is amongst the largest and the fastest growing retail markets in the world. Retailing is one of the pillars of the Indian economy accounting for nearly one fourth of the country’s GDP. Currently pegged at around USD 500 billion, Indian Retail Industry has a bright potential with the burgeoning spending power and rising per capita income in the country having more than 1.2 billion consumers. At present, the organised retailing is in its nascent stage and contributes to nearly 8% of the Indian Retail market. However, it is expected to grow much faster than unorganised retail and will garner around 20% share by 2020 as indicated in various industry research.

 

 

INDIAN APPAREL MARKET OVERVIEW

 

Apparel Retailing is the second largest contributor to the Indian Retail Market after food and grocery. Interestingly, in the organised sector, apparel retailing is the largest and the most penetrated segment. During the past three years, Indian apparel retail market has grown at a CAGR of 10% to reach Rs.1740000.000 Millions in 2012.

 

Urban ready-to-wear segment accounts for 28% of the apparel retail market in India.

 

The urban ready-to-wear segment is growing at a faster clip than the overall apparel retail market. Having grown at a strong CAGR of 12% in the past three years, the size of urban ready-to-wear segment is estimated at ` 48,000 Crore in 2012. It is slated to grow at a CAGR of 13% for the next four years and reach to a size of ` 77,000 Crore by 2016.

 

Categorising the urban ready-to-wear sector by gender/age, the share of Menswear at 53% was the largest in 2012. Menswear will continue to dominate the sector, however, the womenswear and kidswear are expected to grow faster and enhance their share in the overall expanding pie.

 

The key factors driving the ready-made apparel market growth include rising disposable incomes, growing fashion aspirations and geographical expansion by market players. As the lifestyles of India’s prospering urban consumers have evolved, their clothing needs have broadened. Comfort fitting, style, availability of wide selection, and ease of purchase is also stoking the demand for ready-made apparels.

 

Brands and retailers are catching up with the latest trends in no time and customizing their product offerings to match specific demands. Over the past few years, a large number of shopping malls have opened across the country and the trend is sure to accelerate. Large branded store chains where products are systematically stocked and displayed, will speed the transformation of consumer preferences.

 

Apparel retail Industry is highly competitive because of the presence of a large number of players, ever changing consumer preferences and the need for marketing differentiation.

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

During the year, the Company acquired the Pantaloons Fashion business post its demerger from Future Retail Limited under a court approved Scheme of Arrangement. On the effectiveness of the scheme on 8th April 2013, all the net assets and operations pertaining to the ‘Pantaloons Fashion’ business have been transferred, on a going concern basis, along with debt to the Company. The appointed date of transfer is 1st July, 2012. In terms of the Scheme, the name of the Company was changed from “Peter England Fashions and Retail Limited” to “Pantaloons Fashion and Retail Limited”. On receipt of necessary approvals, the equity shares of the Company will be listed on the National Stock Exchange of India and the Stock Exchange, Bombay.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Inflation remained at high levels during the year. The GDP growth also slowed. These factors have impacted consumer sentiments and spending during the year. Some of these challenges may continue in the near term. However, with the inflation projected to stabilise at lower levels and an expected improvement in GDP growth, the customer spending will improve in the medium term. The long term outlook for domestic apparel industry remains positive on the back of favourable demographics viz., rising disposable income, burgeoning aspiring middle class segment, large young and working population, and increasing shift towards branded apparels.
