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.

MANAGEMENTDISCUSSION AND ANALYSISREPORT:

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

Indian footwear industry continues to be the second-largest footwear producer in the World - next only to China. The Indian Footwear Market is divided into organized and unorganized segments. The organized segment caters only 1/3rd of the footwear industry while the other 2/3rd is shared by small un-organized local players across the Country. The footwear market is dominated by men's segment which accounts for more than 50 per cent of total consumption, followed by 30 per cent in ladies segment and 15 per cent in kids segment. India produces more of men’s shoes while other countries in the world produce more footwear for ladies. The organized sector is represented by major national and international players like Bata, Relaxo, Liberty, Adidas, Reebok, etc. while the un-organized sector comprises of small cottage industry based manufacturers.

 

The size of domestic footwear industry in India is approx. USD 35 Billion. According to an ASSOCHAM study, the

Industry is considered to possess a significant potential with overall market anticipated to grow at a CAGR of approx. 15% during 2012-2014. The Indian footwear market is driven by growing fashion consciousness and increasing disposable income of the urban middle-class consumers. More and more women are now becoming financially independent, which give them more purchasing power. To exploit the potential of the Footwear industry in India, a number of premium footwear brands are foraying into India's tier-II and tier-III cities to increase their customer base. Indian Footwear Industry is expected to grow by 15% year-on-year in next ten years and increase in middle class population in these non-metro cities will be a major contributor to the volume growth of footwear business. Being the largest producer of footwear in the World, China continues to be the biggest exporter of footwear globally. Import of footwear from China has seen a rapid growth during the past 5-6 years in all the three categories - men, women and children. Indian Footwear retailers have also preferred to import Chinese footwear, because of their lower cost and supply in abundance. Presently, India's footwear import from China is more than 60% of the total import and during the last five years such import from China has grown by more than 130%. India has seen a rise in overall export of footwear during the past few years. However, rate of increase in export has been much lower as compared to the rate of increase in import from China and other countries in the World. The maximum exports of Indian Footwear are made to USA and UK which collectively accounts for approx. 30% of the total export of footwear by India.

 

SEGMENT WISE OR PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE:

 

The Company operates in two segments - Footwear & Accessories and Surplus Property Development. The

Company has chosen Footwear & Accessories as its primary segment.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

India has overcome various challenges in the economy and is considered to be one of the fastest growing ones amongst many developing countries. As far as estimates are concerned India by the end of this decade would be the 3rd largest economy after China and USA based on consumption level and increase in income besides other factors.

 

The Company shall continue its focus to expand the retail outlets and improve the merchandise with newer and better designs to provide the Indian consumers the best in footwear. Achieving continuous growth in the performance of all business areas, shall be the key focused area going forward. In order to achieve volume growth, the Company has introduced FOOTIN concept of business, which offers fashionable & trendy designed footwear at an affordable price. The FOOTIN stores are different in ambience and display of footwear as compared to other BATA Stores. The Company will improve its presence in e-Commerce business and also strengthen its Accessories business by offering a wide product range.

 

Indian Footwear Industry has the potential to grow and is capable to add value to the Indian Economy. Support from the Regulatory Authorities by creating a level playing field for all players and establishing more institutes to impart training on design, quality control and technology shall be required from the Industry. The Company will seize the opportunities and face the challenges prevailing in the Industry and is confident to remain the market leader in the organized footwear retail Industry.

 

DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 

The Company has been maintaining its profitable growth for the eighth year in a row and believes that this is sustainable, barring unforeseen circumstances.

 

As mentioned in the Annual Reports of earlier years, since April-2010, Bank borrowing of the Company is Nil and the entire capital expenditure is being funded through internal accruals.

 

The Board of Directors have recommended a dividend @ Rs.6.50 per share (i.e., 65%) on equity shares for the year ended December 31, 2013, subject to approval of the shareholders at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. If approved and declared, this will be the highest rate of dividend in the history of the Company.

** During earlier years, the Assessing Officer had revised the computation of Capital Gains on “Transfer of Development Rights to RHPL” in the year 2007 by treating it as Short Term instead of the Long Term and thus raised a demand of Rs. 230.55 millions on the Company. The Company during the previous year had received favourable judgement from the ITAT Kolkata. However Income Tax Department had filed an appeal with the High Court against the said order. During the year, the Company has received an order of Commissioner of Income Tax under section 263 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 directing the Assessing Officer for re-computation of consideration adopted by Company for computation of long term capital gain for A.Y. 2007-08 on transfer of development rights of Batanagar land to River Bank Holding Private Limited (erstwhile JV company). The amount of tax liability is not mentioned in the order. The Company has filed an appeal to Income Tax Appellate Tribunal against the said order. The Company on the basis of consultant's advice believes that it has a good case and hence no provision there against is considered necessary. As per the agreement, liability of income tax on such transfer, if any, will be borne by the erstwhile JV Company.
