MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

On almost all parameters, FY 2013-14 proved to be a difficult year. Slowing growth, rising inflation and a  depreciating rupee marked its progress, setting in motion diverse challenges for economic and business  anagers. The Indian Economy experienced its worst slowdown in nearly a decade on the back of global headwinds, domestic macro-economic imbalances, policy paralysis and burgeoning deficits. The situation was worsened by implementation bottlenecks such as regulatory delay, judicial activism and extreme risk aversion among bankers and financial markets. The much awaited economic reforms moved slowly, in fits and starts.

 

As a result, economic activity continued to slide despite attempts by the government to stem the tide. The Gross Domestic Product, usually taken as a barometer of growth, slipped below 4.5% in the first quarter and stayed  elow 5% throughout the financial year. Through most of 2013, an air of pessimism prevailed in business circles.

 

Fortunately, the first signs of an uptick in the economy began to emerge with the dawn of 2014. Apart from some positive steps by the government backed by an improving global economy, the General Elections culminating in May 2014 turned the national sentiment to one of hope. Today with a new and stable government in place, the worst seems over for the Indian economy. In the current year, India has already displaced Japan to emerge as the world’s third largest economy in purchasing power parity. While the heady days of 8%+ growth may still be some distance away, there is genuine expectations that India will once again resume its journey as one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Certainly investors have turned bullish on India and the country is back on the global radar as an attractive destination

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

As the Construction Industry has strong direct and indirect linkages with overall economic development – its multiplier effect on the economy is one of the highest at 1.85 times the assets being created – it is regarded as a primary driver of growth. In India, it contributes about 8% of the GDP and the second largest employer after

agriculture, providing a livelihood to over 35 million people or 14% of the workforce. Indirectly it also creates investment and employment opportunities across various related sectors. It also accounts for nearly half of the fixed capital formation.

 

The industry is fragmented, with a handful of major companies involved in the construction activities across all segments; medium sized companies specializing in niche activities; and small and medium contractors who work on the subcontractor basis and carry out the work in the field. While smaller organizations are dependent

mainly on local conditions for growth, the larger construction companies have struggled for the last few years

due to the slowing economy and issues such as land availability and environmental clearances. The slow pace of

construction growth in turn has been cited as a significant cause for the economy failing to take off.

 

The reasons for the headwinds faced by the construction sector are several. In infrastructure, major projects in power, road and industry have been inordinately delayed as the government clearances, fuel and land proved hard to obtain. Industrial infrastructure also took a back seat as most companies were faced with problems of over capacity in the face of slack demand. Building of residential and commercial space also slowed as high interest rates capped buying interest. In addition t the elongated working capital cycle the construction industry also faced the problems of idle equipment, project delays, cost inflation, high debt and high interest cost.

 

There is no doubt that India needs to expedite stalled projects to meet an capacity addition in infrastructure. This is the surest way forward for stimulating domestic demand, increasing productive capacity and

helping the economy return to the high-growth trajectory in the immediate future. The infrastructure fraternity is

eagerly looking up to the government at the Centre to provide a supportive working environment. It should be

recognized that infrastructure building is the first step in fulfilling the collective dream of inclusive growth.

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Simplex continues its journey of nearly 100 years during which it has consistently delivered value to its clients by

executing over 2700 projects in almost all verticals of construction industry. The Company has a good quality

order book diversified across 211 contracts and nearly 200 project sites. Of the total order book of Rs. 15257 crores the Company has an exposure of 32% in building & housing, followed by 30% in roads and  bridges, 11% in urban infrastructure and 11% in power sector. Its domestic business accounts for 84% and it has established a reputation for strong customer support throughout India. Customer focus, world-class engineering and state-of-art construction equipment worth Rs. 2007 crores, backed by over 8000 dedicated employees, have enabled it to sustain leadership in all its major lines of business

 

Apart from Indian operation, Simplex has an international presence, particularly in Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia,

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Ethiopia. Though international business accounts for just 16% of Company's business, it is expected that its share will increase significantly in near future as the share in order book is 20% and these geographies have low infrastructure development while being rich in natural resources.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

India requires quality infrastructure. This simple fact is the long term driver of the construction sector as infrastructure investments are the most important growth driver for construction companies. While short term actors may keep the sentiments subdued, over the long term, demand will remain strong. The proposed increase in allocation in the twelfth five-year plan (2012-2017) will translate into a healthy business for construction companies. Demandsupply gap for residential housing, favourable demographics, rising affordability levels, availability of financing options as well as fiscal benefits available on availing of home loan are the key drivers supporting the demand for residential construction. According to a technical committee set up by the Ministry of Housing and  Poverty Alleviation, the total housing shortage in the country alone stood at about 18.78 m at the start of the twelfth five-year plan. This provides a big investment opportunity.

 

While long-term factors are likely to work in favour of construction companies, the outlook for the short term

remains uncertain. High interest rates, longer working capital cycles and negative consumer sentiments continue

to impact business for the real estate players. Project delays continue to plague the infrastructure industry with resultant cash flow problems. Also, the fact that banks have been turning cautious towards rescheduling debt or issuing fresh loans is a dampener for the sector. The overall long term risks also include increased prices of the essential raw materials like cement, bricks and steel coupled with the increasing in labour costs, which together make for almost 75% of overall construction cost.

 

The link between infrastructure and The link between infrastructure and economic development is not a once and for all affair. It is a continuous process; and progress in development has to be preceded, accompanied, and followed by progress in infrastructure, if we are to fulfill our declared objectives of generating a self-accelerating

process of economic development.

 

Indian infrastructure and construction industry has grown exponentially, in part due to massive government impetus and in part due to high market sentiments. The country, which has initially targeted the low-hanging fruits, is now poised to take up more complex and technologically intense projects. The focus has moved from cost efficiency to time and competence. This has created excellent opportunities for technologically sophisticated construction companies to conduct business in India.
