INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

As per the latest IMF study, the total weigh of emerging markets in the GDP of the world on a purchasing power parity basis has seen a sizeable shift. It highlights how as against 51 % in 2005, the emerging economies now account for close to 56 % of the global purchasing power GDP as per the latest survey. And with the emerging economies growing at a faster rate than their developed counterparts, there are every possibility that the their share goes up further in the coming years.  China may surpass the US over the next few years.

 

Politics and economics are very intricately connected. They tend to influence each other in ways that could be very complex and far-reaching. The prospects of the India’s economy have been seriously compromised due to political corruption. High inflation, poor standard of living are to a great extent a result of rampant corruption in the country. China on the other hand, seems to be facing diametrically opposite challenge. American hedge fund manager Jim Chanos has been keenly following the political and economic development in the dragon economy and has figured out something that is quite worrying. He is of the view that the Chinese economy could be heading toward trouble on account of new Chinese President Xi Jingping’s very aggressive anti-corruption drive. Chanos believes tat many things such as apartment sales, luxury products, etc. were largely bought with dirty money. And it is now beginning to impact consumption. This may indeed be bad news for an economy that is struggling to transition from an investment-driven export-oriented economy to a domestic consumption-driven economy.

 

A study published by Firstpost has revealed that asset classes like real estate and equities were the biggest beneficiaries of the liberalization policies.  A firm called Ciane Analytics studied returns from assets including equities, gold, fixed deposits, G-Secs and real estate since 1991. Real estate outperformed every other asset classes during the 23-year period with an annualized return of 20 % ! Equities came in second with annualized return of 15.5 % ! However, while these returns may seem mouthwatering, the fact is that the return from equities adjusted for inflation came down to just 7.1 %.

COMPANY‘S PERFORMANCE

 

The net revenue from the operations of the Company increased from Rs.83820.600 Millions to Rs.86896.400 Millions, registering a growth of 3.7% over the previous year. The earnings before interest, depreciation, tax and amortisation (EBITDA) was at Rs.9278.700 Millions as against Rs.10463.700 Millions, down 11.3% over the previous year. Profit before tax was Rs.5688.800 Millions whereas the profit after tax was at Rs.4360.700 Millions, down 31.1% and 32.2% respectively, over the previous year.

 

The consolidated net revenue from the operations increased from Rs.147110.200 Millions to Rs.158954.300 Millions, an increase of 8% over the previous year. EBITDA was at Rs.18094.300 Millions as against Rs.21629.100 Millions, down 16.3% over the previous year. The loss before tax was Rs.5188.900 Millions whereas the loss after tax before minority interest and share of loss in associates was at Rs.8076.700 Millions. Loss attributable to the Group after deducting the minority interest and share of loss in associate was at Rs.10320.000 Millions. The reported loss was largely on account of exceptional items aggregating to Rs.14202.100 Millions (net) primarily towards impairment of certain assets, restructuring cost, write down of goodwill and certain investments and exchange loss.

 

The Company‘s operation is organised under four segments i.e. (1) Inorganic Chemicals comprising soda ash, salt, sodium bicarbonate, marine chemicals, caustic soda and cement; (2) Fertilisers comprising fertilisers and other traded products; (3) Other Agri-inputs including Rallis India Limited’s operations and (4) Others - comprising water purifier, nutritional solutions and pulses. Performance of these businesses are as under:

 

INORGANIC CHEMICALS SEGMENT

 

India Operations:

The Company’s industrial chemicals operation is primarily built around soda ash, sodium bicarbonate, cement and allied traded products. On a macro-economic front, Financial Year (FY) 2013-14 has been a story of two halves; while the first half was about high pipeline inventories and volatile economic conditions, the second half was about rebounding industrial sentiment.

 

The year also witnessed record volumes of imports from China in the first half. Pricing pressures prevailed in the market, driven by tightening market conditions and increased cost pressures. In line with the existing competencies of customer-connect, quality products and distribution reach, the Company has been actively engaged in trading activities in the inorganic chemicals space. The trading portfolio, consisting of new and allied chemicals, will help the Company in exploring new growth areas while catering to a larger portion of the customer’s basket.

 

SODA ASH

FY 2013-14 saw a 2% de-growth in the domestic soda ash market. On the back of very strong growth in the previous year, pipeline inventories remained high through the first half of the year. By the end of the second half, stocks had been utilised for most end user sectors.

 

From a manufacturing perspective, despite unfavourable weather conditions, production was 798,897 tonnes of soda ash at Mithapur. The total sales volume for the year stood at 750,747 tonnes against 714,519 tonnes in the previous year. As a continuation of the Company’s soda ash strategy towards supporting customer specific requirements and servicing market growth, sourcing of material from the subsidiary companies increased for the year.

 

The first half witnessed high imports at lower price levels in the market. Imports decreased in the second half due to realignment of trade flows, anti-dumping duties and shift in focus towards margins of Chinese producers. A total of 560,000 tonnes imports were recorded for the year; most of these were from Kenya, China, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey.

 

Apart from robust continuous improvement programmes and customer partnership initiatives, focus was laid upon leveraging IT for driving customer service levels. The Company’s initiatives around sustainable supply chain continued with increased transportation of bulk material. Initiatives around manufacturing site and employee engagement are showing positive results evidenced by reduced attrition at the site.

 

SODIUM BICARBONATE

Post a very high market growth in FY 2012-13, FY 2013-14 registered a 2.1% market growth in sodium bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate imports touched an all-time high of 29,000 tonnes against 20,000 tonnes in the previous year. Despite this, the Company has been able to maintain more than 50% market share on the back of higher production.

 

Sodium bicarbonate production for the year stood at 90,331 tonnes against 87,924 tonnes in the previous year. The overall sales volume for sodium bicarbonate was 86,570 tonnes for the year. Imports for the year were skewed with very high import volumes in the first half. A strong dollar and increased Chinese domestic demand substantially decreased imports in the second half. Of the total imports, China accounted for 93% volumes.

 

During the year, the Company continued to invest in the branded offerings of sodium bicarbonate; branded volumes now account for 23% of the bicarbonate portfolio. This is in line with the Company’s strategy to offer value added branded variants as the domestic market matures and grows over a period of time and is consistent with its global portfolio for this product.

 

CEMENT

The domestic cement market faced a slump in demand during the year. Sentiment remained very weak in the market with sustained price pressures for a major part of the year. Consolidation in the industry and extended discounts from major players also affected the business. The Gujarat cement market declined by 2.8% to 534,000 tonnes during the year.

 

Production of 460,275 tonnes Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and 79,574 tonnes masonry cement was achieved during the year. The sales volume of OPC and masonry cement were at 454,280 tonnes and 79,513 tonnes respectively during the year. Considering the volumes of cement, evaluations are currently underway to develop niche grades of cement and allied downstream offerings.

 

SALT AND RELATED PRODUCTS

Salt production of 805,637 tonnes was achieved at Mithapur during the year as against the previous year production of 805,388 tonnes. Overall, branded salt sales marginally grew from 935,579 tonnes in FY 2012-13 to 939,981 tonnes in FY 2013-14. Sales of Tata Salt grew by 4% in volume from 728,829 tonnes in FY 2012-13 to 754,955 tonnes in FY 2013-14. Tata Salt continues to be the largest distributed brand with a reach of 14.5 lakh retail outlets across India.

 

Sales of I-Shakti salt in FY 2013-14 was 162,930 tonnes. I-Shakti salt continues to meet the iodisation movement, complimenting Tata Salt. The Company’s market share of its salt portfolio has increased to 67.9% in the National Branded Salt segment, up from 66.8% in FY 2012-13. Sales of Tata Salt Lite grew by 11% in volume from 10,883 tonnes in FY 2012-13 to 12,111 tonnes in FY 2013-14.

 

I-Shakti cooking soda sales showed an encouraging growth of 73% with sales of 3,302 tonnes during the year as compared to 1,908 tonnes in the previous year.

 

The business continues to work towards new product introduction through salt variants and development of other categories.

 

Overseas Operations

 

Tata Chemicals North America Inc. (TCNA)

Soda ash production at TCNA during the year were 23,607,000 tonnes as against the previous year volume of 23,316,000 tonnes.

 

Sales volume for the year increased to 23,899,000 tonnes as against 23,431,000 tonnes in the previous year showing a positive volume of 468,000 tonnes.

 

TCNA gross revenues (including freight costs) were marginally down at USD 471.87 million (Rs.28535.500 Millions) as against USD 478.73 million (Rs.26046.400 Millions) in the previous year. The average unit selling price was down, driven primarily by decreased exports prices.

 

EBIDTA, profit before tax and profit after tax were at USD 109.48 million (Rs.6620.700 Millions), USD 69.06 million (Rs.4176.500 Millions) and USD 37.87 million (Rs.2290.100 Millions) respectively. The results were impacted due to increase in cost of goods sold which primarily consists of labour, energy, materials, royalties and depreciation, increased by USD 3.6 million (Rs.217.700 Millions) over the previous year. Interest expense and financing fees were USD 8.13 million (Rs.491.600 Millions) higher than last year driven by refinancing the existing USD 375 million (Rs.22468.100 Millions) Senior syndicated facility, replacing with a USD 340 million (Rs.20371.100 Millions) credit facility.

 

Tata Chemicals Europe (TCE)

During the year, TCE ceased operation of its soda ash facilities at Winnington while investing in increased sodium bicarbonate capacity and quality improvements at the same to feed the growing high value sodium bicarbonate sectors. The new sodium bicarbonate plant is now on line. The UK market declined in size somewhat post-recession, but volumes rebounded during the course of the year from lows in the first quarter of 2013. Turnover for the year was at £142.6 million (Rs.13723.500 Millions), 3% lower than in FY 2012-13. TCE continues to supply its soda ash customer base from its operation at Lostock and through a dedicated import facility in the UK.

 

Meanwhile, TCE‘s salt business saw a challenging environment, but nevertheless continued with strong market share throughout the period. Turnover for the year was at £42.4 million (Rs.408.05 Millions). TCE also acquired the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant at Winnington from EON, which is a state-of-the-art facility supplying electricity and steam to the Lostock operations. The power plant operation continues to be operated and maintained by EON under contract to TCE. Energy prices during winter FY 2013-14 made for difficult economics with a mild winter and high wind generation making gas fi red generation marginal at best.

 

Reconfiguration of the CHP plant will optimize its heat and power efficiency during 2015 and in the meantime regulatory changes and lower gas prices are expected to benefit TCE in FY 2014-15 and beyond.

 

During FY 2014-15, the final stages of the restructuring programme will be completed in TCE and growth in the high value sodium bicarbonate business is expected to increase significantly from FY 2013-14 levels.

 

Total turnover of TCE for the year is £191.4 million (Rs.18424.500 Millions), EBITDA stood at loss of £1.77 million (Rs.170.000 Millions). TCE posted a net loss after tax of £36.99 million (Rs.3560.100 Millions) for the year after charging off £25.18 million (Rs.2422.800 Millions) towards exceptional items pertaining to restructuring of Winnington Plant.

 

Tata Chemicals Magadi Limited (TCML)

Turnover of TCML for the year ended 31st March, 2014 was USD 105.18 million (Rs.6360.500 Millions) as compared to the previous year’s figure of USD 1057.300 million (Rs.575.24 Millions). TCML incurred the loss of USD 77.66 million (Rs.4696.300 Millions) during the year as against the loss of USD 22.29 million (Rs.1212.700 Millions) during the previous year.

 

The results were impacted due to missed production targets caused by worsening plant efficiencies, significant decrease in prices during the year and increased costs of sales. The cost of sales increased by 68.8% to USD 116.05 million (Rs.7017.800 Millions) during the year from USD 68.73 million (Rs.3739.400 Millions) in the previous year primarily due to rising energy costs.

 

High energy costs ultimately led to a downward revision of cash flow projections for the Premium Ash (PAM) plant at Magadi, thus, resulting in a provision towards impairment of assets of USD 50.69 million (Rs.3044.200 Millions) which also contributed to the loss for the year ended 31st March, 2014.

 

Tata Chemicals International Pte Limited (TCIPL)

TCIPL commenced trading in April, 2013 and recorded sales of USD 31.4 million (Rs.1898.200 Millions) through the purchase and sale of 135,312 tonnes of soda ash and heavy fuel oil between a mixture of related and third party customers and suppliers. In addition to trading goods, TCIPL is the International Headquarters for Tata Chemicals and holds the investments in the UK, Kenya and USA and provides strategy and business support to its subsidiaries, including raising of finance.

 

 

FINANCE

 

The outstanding balance of External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) of USD 285 million, out of the ECB of USD 475 million raised in March 2008, was fully repaid during the year. Out of the total repayment of USD 285 million, an amount of USD 190 million was pre-paid and refinanced by raising ECB of USD 190 million. In addition to this, the Company had repaid 11.80% secured Non- Convertible Debentures (NCDs) of Rs.2400.000 Millions on the due date.

 

The pace of subsidy disbursements for fertilisers witnessed a significant slow-down from August 2013. This resulted in high levels of working capital through the second half of the year. The outstanding balance of subsidy receivables as on 31st March, 2014 is Rs.17948.900 Millions as against an amount of Rs.17526.300 Millions outstanding as on 31st March, 2013.

 

The increased level of working capital has been funded through working capital facilities including buyers’ credit. The zutstanding balance of buyers’ credit as on 31st March, 2014 was USD 160.89 million (Rs.9639.900 Millions). Further, pursuant to the reintroduction of Special Banking Arrangement (SBA) made by The Department of Fertilizers, Government of India, twice during the year, the Company had availed loans against subsidy receivables for an aggregate amount of Rs.4657.100 Millions from the State Bank of India led consortium. Out of this, Rs.1396.100 Millions was liquidated during the month of February 2014 in accordance with the SBA scheme. The brought forward outstanding balance of loan against subsidy receivables of Rs.1796.300 Millions, availed during March 2013, was also liquidated during the month of April 2013 in accordance with the SBA scheme.

 

The year witnessed elevated levels of interest rates on the back of high inflationary pressure and volatile macro-economic scenario. Amid volatility in financial and capital markets, the Company was able to contain the interest costs as a result of better cash management and repayment of high cost NCDs. The reduction in cost of borrowing resulted in savings in interest cost of Rs.179.300 Millions.

 

During the year, Rallis India Limited, a subsidiary of the Company and IMACID, a joint venture, have paid dividends of Rs.223.900 Millions and Rs.294.700 Millions respectively to the Company.

 

During the year, the Company’s overseas subsidiary Tata Chemicals North America Inc. (TCNA) had refinanced debt facilities to the tune of USD 340 million. Further, the Company’s overseas subsidiary Tata Chemicals Europe Holdings Limited (TCEHL) had raised term and multicurrency revolving facilities (bridge facilities) aggregating to GBP 140 million to refinance the existing facilities. In addition to this, the Company’s overseas subsidiary Home field Private UK Limited had raised a term loan of USD 28 million to buy back 6.44% United States Private Placement Notes of USD 25 million issued in 2007.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

Global

The world economy is expected to grow by 3.6% in 2014. Both advanced and emerging economies are expected to record higher growth in 2014 as indicated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

 

The key to the revival in advanced economies is the upturn in the domestic economies of the US and the UK that are projected to grow by 2.8% and 2.9%, respectively, in 2014. On the other hand, Japan’s economy is witnessing a period of fiscal tightening. Therefore, while Japan’s domestic demand is likely to remain subdued, export demand is expected to support growth through the yen depreciation and an overall recovery in the global demand.

 

Global economic activity has improved over the last year. However, the economy continues to be in a fragile state, given the high rate of unemployment and inflation. However, the revival of demand from the advanced economies is expected to benefit the emerging and developing economies in the long run.

 

Although China, the largest among the emerging economies, grew by a steady 7.7% in 2013, it is estimated to record marginally lower growth at 7.5% in 2014. Looking ahead, China’s economic growth could be affected by some downside risks. These include the slowdown in investments and the Government’s focus on restructuring the economy into a consumption-oriented one.

 

Domestic

As per the Central Statistical Organisation, India’s GDP grew by 4.7% in FY 2013-14 compared to 4.5% in FY 2012-13. Estimates indicate a real GDP growth in FY 2014-15 is in the range of 5-5.5%. The new Government elected in May 2014 is expected to lead to a surge in investor confidence and a subsequent revival of the economy in the second half of FY 2014-15.

 

The new Government has indicated that its top priority would be to get the economy back to a high growth trajectory and also to control the current inflationary trend. While this will undoubtedly require the introduction of certain fiscal disciplinary measures, the Government is also expected to implement strategies to boost the investment cycle. The areas that are expected to receive attention include irrigation and agricultural productivity, manufacturing and exports.

 

The recent clearance of a number of stalled projects has boosted the present economic growth to some extent. Additionally, moderate improvement in the global economic activity is expected to bolster the export demand. However, there are some downside risks to growth as well, with the agricultural sector facing the possibility of a sub-normal monsoon due to El Niño. Global Industrial activity continues to remain weak where the stagnation was broad-based. India achieved a fiscal deficit of 4.6% compared to the budget estimate of 4.8% of the GDP in FY 2013-14.

 

The slowdown in trade deficit, along with a healthy growth in net invisibles led to significant lowering of the Current Account Deficit (CAD) in the third quarter of FY 2013-14. The CAD for FY 2013-14 is expected to settle at 1.7% of the GDP as compared to a share of 4.7% in FY 2012-13.

NOTES

 

1.       The above results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 5th August, 2014 and the same have been audited by the Statutory Auditors.

 

2.       During the quarter ended 30th June, 2014, the Company has reassessed the useful lives of its fixed assets. The revised useful lives, as assessed by Management, match with those specified in Part C of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013 for all classes of assets other than computers, motor cars and certain classes of buildings, roads and plant and machinery. Management believes that the revised useful lives of the assets reflect the periods over which these assets are expected to be used.

As a result of the change, the charge on account of depreciation for the quarter ended 30th June, 2014 is higher by Rs.74.400 Millions compared to useful lives estimated in earlier periods. In case of assets whose useful lives have ended, the carrying value, net of residual value as at 1st April, 2014 amounting to Rs.206.500 Millions (net of tax Rs.106.400 Millions) has been adjusted to the opening reserves as on 1st April, 2014 pursuant to the provisions of Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013.

 

3.       The figures of the quarter ended 31st March, 2014 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the year ended 31st March, 2014 and the year to date figures upto the nine months ended 31st December, 2013.

 

4.       The previous period figures have been regrouped / rearranged wherever necessary.
