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 Millions (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 Millions in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years.

PRESS RELEASE

Grasim reports financial results for Q4 FY 2013-14

Rs. in Millions

Consolidated net revenue

8,4190 (Up by 10 per cent)

PAT

6790 (Up by 11 per cent)

 

Projects commissioned during the year:

  • Caustic soda (183K TPA) and Epoxy - a chlorine derivative (52K TPA) at Vilayat
  • Clinker (3.3 Mn. TPA) at Malkhed
  • Cement (3.1 Mn. TPA) at Malkhed and Jharsuguda

Project under commissioning:

·         Viscose staple fibre (120K TPA) at Vilayat - Trial runs commenced

Consolidated financial performance

Mumbai: Grasim Industries Limited, an Aditya Birla Group company, announced its results for the quarter and year ended 31 March 2014.

 

During the 4th quarter, revenue grew by 10 per cent at Rs.84190.000 Millions (Rs.7,6740.000 Millions). Net profit after minority interest (before exceptional item) is up by 11 per cent to Rs.6790.000 Millions (Rs.6130.000 Millions) and sequentially up by 105 per cent from Rs.332 Millions. There was an exceptional gain of Rs.204 Millions on the sale of Grasim's stake in Alexandria Carbon Black and Thai Carbon Black in quarter 4 last year.

 

Despite the prevailing economic slowdown during the year, volumes have been augmented in all the businesses viz. VSF, Chemical and Cement, driven by the commissioning of new capacities. While revenue increased by 5 per cent at Rs.293240.000 Millions (Rs.279090.000 Millions), net profit for the year was Rs.20720.000 Millions as against Rs.25000.000 Millions (before exceptional item) in the last year. An overcapacity in the VSF business globally and Cement Business in India has impacted the realisations and profitability.

 

Dividend
The Board of Directors of Grasim has recommended the dividend of Rs.21 per share. The total outflow on account of the dividend would be Rs.2000.000 Millions (including corporate tax on dividend).

 

Viscose Staple Fibre 

VSF volume continued its upward trend. For the quarter, volumes crossed 99k tonnes, recording a growth of 4 per cent Y-o-Y. Market development activities in the domestic markets led to an improvement in the demand, supported by higher production at Harihar.

 

Demand supply imbalance and liquidity crunch in China impacted VSF prices in global markets. The company was able to maintain its realisations, supported by the rupee depreciation. However, the rupee depreciation has led to pulp costs moving up. This has created pressure on margins.

 

Chemical Business

The Chemical Business reported a growth of 30 per cent in sales volumes during the quarter led by an additional volume from the Vilayat plant. PBIDT was up by 9 per cent at Rs.550.000 Millions as against Rs.510.000 Millions during the corresponding quarter led by higher volumes and ECU realisation. The full benefit of the Caustic and Epoxy plants at Chlor-Alkali complex, Vilayat commissioned earlier will accrue in FY2014-15.

 

Greenfield project at Vilayat, Gujarat 

Trial runs for the greenfield VSF project at Vilayat commenced for line I in April 2014 and will be followed by line 2 very shortly. These two lines have a capacity of 77K TPA out of total capacity of 120K TPA to be commissioned. Remaining 2 lines focusing on specialty fibre are expected to be commissioned in the 2nd quarter of current year.

 

Cement subsidiary (UltraTech Cement)

The cement and clinker sales for the quarter at 13 mn. tonnes increased by 9 per cent, outperforming the sector. The quarter witnessed pressure on input and logistic costs, given the hike in railway freight and diesel prices. Net revenue for the quarter stood at Rs.63160.000 Millions (Rs.58210.000 Millions). Net profit was up by 15 per cent at Rs.865 Millions compared to Rs.7530.000 Millions last year. On sequential basis, net profit has increased by 119 per cent from Rs.3950.000 Millions in previous quarter.

 

Cement capex

With the commissioning of the grinding capacity (1.45 Mn. TPA) at Malkhed, Karnataka during the quarter, cement capacity rose to 57 Mn. TPA.

 

Requisite approvals including sanction of respective High Courts and Competition Commission of India have been obtained for the acquisition of the Gujarat Cement unit of Jaypee Cement Corp. (4.8 Mn. MT). The scheme is now subject to the approval of SEBI. The transaction is expected to be completed by 1st quarter of FY2014-15.

 

On commissioning of the brownfield projects currently under implementation and the acquisition, total cement capacity of the company will increase from 57 Mn. TPA to 70 Mn. TPA and clinker from 46.1 Mn. TPA to 51.8 Mn. TPA

 

Outlook
In the VSF sector, margins are likely to remain under pressure in the near term due to overcapacity in China. The slowdown of new capacity additions in China should lead to improvement in industry utilisation. With additional capacity coming on stream, the company is well equipped to further consolidate its leadership position in the industry.

In cement, the demand growth for the industry should gradually recover to 8 per cent on improvement in the economic environment.

VISCOSE STAPLE FIBRE

The production of VSF improved by 2% over the preceding quarter with completion of the expansion at Harihar plant.  The Kharach unit operated at lower capacity for 45 days as Govt. canal supplying water was under repair. However, the new reservoir at Nagda, and better planning at Harihar, ensured that there is no production loss.

 

Sales volume was 77,518 MT and Net Revenue stood at Rs.980 Millions.  The VSF prices remained under pressure due to overcapacity in China.  The impact of the decline in prices was partly neutralized by depreciation of the Indian rupee.  On the cost front, the price of caustic and sulphur has eased. However, lower realisations resulted in a decline in profits.  

The pulp JVs have reported higher sales volumes. Pulp prices have improved sequentially.

 

CEMENT SUBSIDIARY (ULTRA TECH CEMENT)

The combined cement and clinker sales volume was 10.88 Mn. Tons. Net Revenue stood at Rs.5,294 Millions. The quarter witnessed an increasing trend in logisitics and raw material cost, linked to increase in railway freight and diesel prices. The benefit of softening in prices of imported coal was partly offset by the depreciation of the rupee.

CHEMICAL BUSINESS

The Chemical business put in a satisfactory performance. With the commissioning of the Caustic Soda plant at Vilayat (Gujarat) in May 2013, sales volume increased by 9% to 72,028 MT. Volumes will further improve with the gradual ramp up of capacity. ECU realizations saw a correction from the peak level witnessed during FY 2013.

 

VSF AND CHEMICAL CAPEX

The green field projects of VSF (120,000 TPA) and Epoxy (51,000 TPA) at Vilayat are expected to go on stream in the 3rd quarter in a phased manner.

 

CEMENT CAPEX

The clinkerisation plant at Malkhed (Karnataka) of 3.30 Mn. TPA was commissioned during July 2013 in addition to that of Rawan (Chattisgarh) of 3.30 Mn. TPA in  March 2013. With this, the total clinker capacity stands increased to 45.10 Mn. TPA. This will contribute to the volumes in a phased manner.

 

Work on the 2.90 Mn. TPA brown field expansion at Shambhupura (Rajasthan), has commenced.

 

After the commissioning of all the projects (including cement grinding units) currently under implementation, Ultra Tech’s cement capacity will stand augmented to 64.45 Mn. TPA.

 

OUTLOOK
Given the prevailing global economic conditions, coupled with the surplus capacity in China, the VSF industry continues to face a challenging environment in the immediate term. In Cement, the demand is expected to grow by 6% in FY 2014 due to the slowdown in GDP growth rate. It has the potential to recover to over 8% with the improvement in the economic environment.

Capacity expansions in VSF and Cement will provide additional volumes, driving growth and further consolidate the Company’s leadership. This will enable the Company to move forward rapidly, with the recovery in the market.

 

The Company will continue to focus on cost reduction measures, improving asset productivity to maintain its position as the lowest cost producer and expanding specialty products portfolio for sustained shareholder value creation.

VISCOSE STAPLE FIBRE (VSF)


Sluggishness in the global economy continued to impact the textile industry. Fibre prices remained volatile due to the surplus VSF capacity in China and high cotton inventory. Despite the difficult market conditions, sales volumes for the quarter at 95,161 tonens were maintained. Volumes during the year, however, grew by 9 per cent. Global VSF prices declined by 10 per cent on YoY basis. Though pulp cost eased with decline in imported pulp prices, higher caustic prices led to pressure on margins. The Chemical business, however, benefited from the increase in caustic prices.

 

The performance of the company’s pulp JVs was adversely affected due to fall in realizations.

 

CEMENT SUBSIDIARY (ULTRATECH CEMENT)


The combined cement and clinker sales for the quarter was 12.05 Mn. tonnes. Net revenue stood at Rs. 58190.000 millions (Rs.56500.000 millions), up by 3 per cent. Profit after Tax was Rs. 7530.000 millions (after providing for the additional deferred tax liability of Rs.870.000 millions) as compared to Rs. 8720.000 millions in Q4 FY 2011-12.

 

The quarter witnessed continuing pressure on input and logistics costs, given the increase in railway freight and hike in diesel prices though there was some relief on account of the softening in prices of imported coal.


CHEMICAL BUSINESS


The Chemical business continued to perform well. ECU realizations remained firm. Some improvement in chlorine prices was visible during the quarter. Both operating profit and margins, improved.

 

VSF AND CHEMICAL CAPEX

 
The brown field VSF expansion at Harihar (Karnataka), has been completed with the commissioning of Phase II (18,250 TPA) in May 2013.

 

The green field project of VSF (120,000 TPA) at Vilayat (Gujarat) is nearing completion and is expected to go on stream in the 2nd quarter. Chemical plant (182,500 TPA) started commercial production in May 2013. There will be a gradual ramp up in capacity in the first half of FY 2013-14.

 

Work on epoxy project (Vilayat) is progressing, and is likely to be commissioned in September 2013.

 

A major revamp of the VSF plant at Nagda has started. This will be undertaken in phases, spread over the next two years.

 

CEMENT CAPEX


UltraTech is implementing projects across many of its locations. Of these, the following projects have been commissioned during the quarter:

 

Clinkerisation plant at Rawan, Chhattisgarh

3.30 Mn. TPA

Grinding unit at Hotgi, Maharashtra

1.55 Mn. TPA

Increase in cement grinding capacity at Gujarat plant

0.60 Mn. TPA

Bulk terminal at Cochin, Kerala

 

Wall care putty plant at Katni, Madhya Pradesh

 

 

With the commissioning of these projects, the clinker capacity has increased to 41.80 Mn. TPA and that of cement to 53.90 Mn. TPA. The clinkerisation plant of 3.30 Mn. TPA in Karnataka is expected to go on stream in Q1 FY 2013-14.

 

UltraTech plans to expand its capacity at Aditya Cement Works in Rajasthan by 2.90 Mn. TPA including the setting up of two grinding units. The expansion envisages a capital outlay of Rs.20000.000 millions. The additional capacity is expected to be commissioned by March 2015.

 
With the commissioning of the existing projects under implementation and Aditya expansion, UltraTech’s cement capacity will stand augmented to 64.45 Mn. TPA.

 

OUTLOOK


Given the prevailing global economic conditions, coupled with the surplus capacity in China, the VSF industry is expected to remain under pressure in the short term. In Cement, the demand is expected to grow by an average 8 per cent in the long term with housing, infrastructure and allied spending being the key value drivers. Industry capacity utilisation is likely to improve to 80 per cent in FY 2016 as the pace of capacity addition will slow down. Cost pressures are easing off with the decline in global commodity prices, particularly energy. 

 

Capacity expansions in VSF and capacities under implementation / unutilised in cement will provide additional volumes, driving growth and further consolidation of the company’s leadership. The company will utilise these capacities at the earliest in the present difficult situation. The company will continue to focus on cost reduction measures, improving asset productivity to maintain its position as the lowest costs producer and expanding specialty products portfolio for sustained shareholder value creation.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

In the Financial Year ending 31st March, 2013 (FY 2012-13), the global economy continued to show a dismal picture amidst a difficult fiscal situation in many of the advanced economies. Though the US economy saw some improvement, Japan and European Union slipped into recession, while growth in China declined. However, fear of collapse in European economy has subsided. Amidst the continued global uncertainty and slowdown, India’s GDP growth is estimated to have declined to ~5% in the FY 2012-13, its slowest pace in the last ten years arising out of the sharp slowdown in investment, weakening consumption and declining exports. Inflation remained high, given supply side bottlenecks limiting the scope of monetary easing. The sharp decline of the rupee during the first half of the FY 2012-13 further widened the current account deficit.

 

Though they have seen a difficult year, the global and domestic economic scenario is expected to improve marginally in the FY 2013-14. Policy actions in the US and EU have lowered the acute crisis risks. Monetary stimulus measures in advanced as well as emerging economies should help support growth. Even in India, the Government announced various policy reform measures during the year. This coupled with the expected reduction in interest rates, should aid the growth momentum going forward.

 

Overall, weak global and domestic conditions posed challenges for the Company’s businesses. Despite volume growth in VSF, prices remained weak due to surplus capacity in China, cotton surpluses and overall slowdown in textile industry. The Cement sector witnessed a slowdown in demand in the second half. On the positive side, weak global energy prices eased cost pressures to an extent in both businesses.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

The FY 2012-13 has been an extremely challenging year for the VSF business. The slow recovery of the US economy, continued crisis in the Euro-zone and the slowdown in the Chinese economy, especially low exports of textiles, have put pressure on the overall global economy. These coupled with the steep fall in the prices of cotton and significant surplus VSF capacity in China, has adversely impacted the price of VSF. While the demand for VSF has been robust, the sharp drop in realisation and increase in input costs have impacted the margins significantly. A sharp decline in realisation in international markets was largely offset due to rupee depreciation and, therefore, realisations for the Company reduced by only 4% in comparison to last year.

 

Production increased by 5% as compared to last year with enhanced capacity at Harihar plant and reduction in the shutdown days at the Nagda plant through better water management. In difficult market conditions, sales volumes rose by 9%, with increased focus on export markets. A sharp depreciation of the rupee and steep increase in Caustic prices led to a substantial increase in input costs. Chemical business, however, benefitted from increase in caustic prices.

 

Despite better efficiency achieved in Pulp JVs, profitability was impaired due to lower pulp realisation. The performance of the Chinese VSF JV was also not optimal due to adverse market conditions. Initial losses at AV Terrace Bay amounting to Rs.602.000 millions (Company’s share), further affected the consolidated performance in the second half of the financial year.

 

During the year, an additional water reservoir was constructed at Nagda to create additional water storage capacity to meet water requirement during summers. This will help in ensuring uninterrupted plant operations at Nagda.

 

Capex plans of Rs.28260.000 millions are under implementation for the expansion projects and the normal capex, of which Rs.16700.000 millions has already been spent.

 

SECTOR OUTLOOK

 

In the near term, given the deceleration in global economy, the recovery of the textile sector is expected to be slow. The huge cotton reserves created by China and surplus capacities have led to uncertainty in VSF prices. These factors are likely to impact margins in the short term.

 

In the long term, with limitations for growth of cotton production due to competition with other cash crops, growing population, rising prosperity and increasing consumer awareness about the benefits of cellulosic fibre, VSF is well positioned to achieve a larger share of the global fibre pie.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

The focus of the Company continues to be on specialty fibres. The Company plans to add significant capacity for specialty fibre at Vilayat as part of its efforts for market enlargement. The Business has intensified efforts to build a strong R and D set-up, which will enable it to launch new product offerings. Improving the overall operational efficiencies in these challenging times will enable it to protect margins. With additional capacity coming on stream in the first half of the FY 2013-14, the Company is well equipped to further consolidate its leadership position in the industry.

 

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

The Chemical business has reported an excellent performance. With plant operations at full capacity, the business achieved record production and sales volume. Caustic realisation remained firm throughout the year in line with global trend as industry capacity utilisation was affected due to low chlorine off take. As a result, ECU realisation was up by 13%. Operating profit at Rs.2450.000 millions rose by 52%.

 

SECTOR OUTLOOK

 

The demand growth momentum for Caustic is expected to be maintained, led by the Aluminium, Paper and Fibre industries. Globally, production of chlorine is slated to improve with recovery in the housing markets, which may result into increased caustic production and, hence, may lead to softening of caustic prices.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

The 182,500 TPA expansions at Vilayat was commissioned in May 2013. There will be a gradual rampup in capacity, during the first half of the FY 2013-14. Volumes will grow significantly with the new capacity and the favourable demand outlook. The portfolio of Value Added Products is being enhanced continuously with the twin purpose of utilising chlorine and simultaneously adding value.

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

As a direct result of slowdown in GDP growth in India, the year was tough for the cement industry. The demand growth in industry has slowed down due to subdued off take from infrastructure and housing segment. Grey cement sales volume remained flat at the previous year levels.

 

During the year, prices remained volatile. Although the first half witnessed an improving trend, in the later part of the year prices declined. Domestic cement realisation was up by 9%, linked to improved demand in the first half of the year. The increase in logistic costs, input material and additives prices were passed on. Energy cost at Rs.989/ton remained flat. Imported coal prices were lower by around 20-25% in USD term; however, the benefit of such reduction was partially negated due to rupee depreciation. The Company constantly optimise the fuel-mix in kilns and power plants so as to reduce the use of high cost imported coal and maximise the use of low cost fuel, viz., pet coke, alternate fuel, etc. Pet coke consumption in kilns and power plants improved to ~35%. White Cement volume grew by 2% from 5.55 Lac Tons to 5.66 Lac Tons.

 

Ultra Tech’s turnover crossed the Rs. 200000.000 millions mark, up by 11% over the FY 2011-12. PBIDT increased by 13% from Rs. 45650.000 millions to Rs. 51430.000 millions.

 

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) had imposed a penalty of Rs.11754.900 millions on UltraTech for alleged contravention of the provisions of the Competition Act, along with 9 other cement companies. Based on the legal opinion, Ultra Tech has been advised that it has a good case and accordingly it has filed an appeal before the Competition Appellant Tribunal.

 

 

OUTLOOK FOR CEMENT BUSINESS

 

The growth prospects of the Cement industry are closely linked to the growth of the overall economy in general and the real estate, construction sector and infrastructure in particular. The housing sector consumes nearly two-thirds of the country’s total cement and is the most important cement driver. If the present slowdown in organised real estate persists for an extended period, it may impact the growth in consumption of cement.

 

The government’s focus on infrastructure development should boost cement demand. Higher infrastructure spending, robust growth in rural housing and expected decline in interest rates augur well for the cement industry and, therefore, the long-term drivers for cement demand remain intact.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company has reported improved performance for the year, achieving higher Revenue and PBIDT, despite the economic slowdown as reflected in decline in the Indian GDP growth to ~5%. The Company’s Revenue increased by 11% at Rs.279040.000 millions (Rs.252450.000 millions). PBIDT was up from Rs.63210.000 millions to Rs.65430.000 millions, a growth of 4%, led by improved volumes in the VSF business and cost optimisation. Net Profit was Rs.27040.000 millions as compared to Rs.26470.000 millions in the FY 2011-12.

 

The Company’s subsidiary, Ultra Tech, reported a net profit of Rs.26780.000 millions vis-à-vis Rs.24030.000 millions, reflecting a growth of 11%. The pressure on input and logistic cost continued, though there was some relief on account of the softening in prices of imported coal.
