MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
BUSINESS OVERVIEW 

Indian gross domestic product registered a growth of 4.7% during the financial year 2013-14 as against 5% in the previous year. Index of Industrial Production relating to the manufacturing sector showed a negative growth.  Growth rate has been the slowest in the last ten years and the slowness has been more pronounced in the last two years. Volatility in foreign exchange rates, exacerbated by tapering of "Quantitative easing" by US, capital outflows, large current account deficits, high inflation rates, high interest rates and low consumer confidence marked a difficult year.

 
US economy showed moderate growth while European economies in general showed a negative growth. The stress in Euro zone economies caused by the financial crisis seems to have abated though full scale recovery is nowhere in sight. Emerging and developing economies also slowed down considerably.
 
During 2013-14, the automotive sector in India showed a weak growth with some important segments posting a negative growth. The domestic market continued to be affected by macro economic problems, high inflation, high petroleum product prices, high interest rates and poor consumer sentiment. 
 

DOMESTIC SALES

Domestic sales showed a decline at Rs 1220.000 millions from Rs 1347.000 million the light of drop in production of vehicles, especially Medium and Heavy commercial vehicles. Demand from major automotive OEMs was muted throughout the year. Aftermarket sales declined moderately as confidence levels of dealers were low resulting in carrying lower stocks.

 

Exports

The US market recovered modestly though not uniformly across all customers of the Company. European markets continued to be hit by recession and negative sentiments. Exports were at Rs 7610.000 millions as against Rs 6780.000 millions in the previous year, an increase of 12%. Export sales were over 38% of the overall sales revenues.

 

During the year, the Company set up a new factory (SEZ 2) at Mahindra World City for manufacture of new variants of shafts, which commenced operations in the last quarter of the financial year. The existing SEZ unit has been further expanded. These additions have been made based on long term contracts with existing customers.

 

The Company's push for adding new products and new customers is expected to result in further improvement in exports in the near future. Volatility in exchange rates and slow recovery in demand from European customers are causes for concern.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Automotive component industry leans very heavily on commercial vehicle segment for high volume sales and profits. Continuous decline in sales of commercial vehicles resulted in lower sales in many of the units of the Company. Raw material prices were more or less steady during the year. Other input costs rose across the board, especially of petroleum based products. Spend on wages and salaries increased as dearness allowance increased in line with the cost of living index linked to inflation. The Company continued to be under pressure due to rising manufacturing costs. Freight rates also increased in line with increase in cost of diesel and other inputs related to the transportation industry. Power availability eased considerably and measures taken by the Company over the years enabled the Company to reduce usage of self-generated power to a bare minimum and also reduce costs.

 

During the year, PBIDT (Profit before interest, foreign exchange fluctuation, depreciation, exceptional income and tax) was at Rs 3048.400 millions as against Rs 2836.300 millions in the previous year.

 

The Company made sizable investments in creation of capacities for new products and additional capacities for manufacture of existing products to meet projected demand from domestic and international customers. These investments resulted in additional interest costs. Tight money policies followed by Reserve Bank of India resulted in steep increase in interest rates on rupee borrowings and forward premiums in respect of foreign currency borrowings. Financing costs, including premiums on forward cover and adverse foreign exchange variations of

Rs 278.300 millions (Rs 402.700 millions) on foreign currency borrowings, were at Rs 585.800 millions as against Rs 813.500 millions in the previous year. The Company has been able to limit interest costs on account of a concerted action to reduce working capital requirements across its major divisions as a result of which borrowing levels have reduced considerably.

 

In line with the Accounting Standard AS-11 (dealing with the effects of change in foreign exchange rates) and to ensure the principles of consistency, the Company recognises the exchange differences arising out of foreign currency denominated items as expense or income in the profit and loss statements.

Depreciation was higher at Rs 763.700 millions (Rs 716.200 millions).

Profit before tax was higher by 30% at Rs 1698.900 millions (Rs 1306.700 millions). Investment Allowance admissible under Sec. 32AC of the Income Tax Act resulted in lower net tax rate. Profit after tax after providing for exceptional items increased by 27% to Rs 1208.900 millions (Rs 950.600 millions).
