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 %.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Standalone performance for the year ended March 31, 2014 witnessed the net sales grew by 7% with Profit before depreciation, interest and tax growth at 13%. Interest costs went up significantly consequent to higher borrowing and capitalization of some assets at projects. Due to higher interest cost and exceptional items, the standalone Net Profit was lower at Rs.14130.000 Millions.

 

An exceptional item of Rs.3960.000 Millions relates to a liability of Rs.3240.000 Millions under The UP Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 2007 (UP Entry Tax) and a Liability of Rs.720.000 Millions under The Madhya Pradesh Gramin Avsanrachna Tatha Sarak Vikas Adhiniyam (MPGATSVA). Both these levies have been contested by the Company and appeals against these are pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Consolidated Revenue as well as Profit before Depreciation, Interest and Taxes extended by 9% and 5% respectively in comparison to the last year’s corresponding figures. Net profit was lower at Rs.21750.000 Millions, because of higher interest and depreciation and exceptional items.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

The global economy faced varied challenges during the last fiscal year. While the US economy seems to be recovering on the back of fiscal stimulus and EU slowly emerged out of its crisis, it was the turn of emerging markets, hitherto the prime drivers of economic growth, to face growth impediments.

 

BRIC economies along with Indonesia, the fabulous five and the growth drivers of Global economy for past decade, turned ‘fragile five’. Easy monetary policy post the global financial crisis, which was meant to revive growth, also caused macroeconomic imbalances and inflation in some pockets. The ensuing efforts to control inflation and country-specific structural issues resulted in economic slowdown in many of the emerging markets.

 

Commodities continued to languish given the slow growth in China that hit a 13 year low, and consumption slowed down in many emerging markets. In India, the challenges were even tougher. Declining GDP growth, slowdown in manufacturing sector and power sector impacted demand, while the cost pressures continued, primarily driven by high energy prices. Not only that the prices of crude and its derivatives continued to remain at elevated levels, depreciating rupee resulted in an additional burden on the Indian consumers. Coal prices continued to increase in India, even as the global coal prices cooled off.

 

Against the backdrop of such challenging macroeconomic environment, the Company went through a transformational phase. FY14 was a watershed year for the Company. An investment of over USD 5 Bn, after facing various unforeseen challenges, got ready for delivery. The three Greenfield projects and three brown field projects came on stream during the course of the year.

 

Braving these odds, the Company registered a remarkable performance. Profit before interest, depreciation and tax increased by 13% over the previous year (Standalone). On a consolidated basis, the Company registered a turnover of US$ 14.5 billion (Rs.876950.000 Millions) and an EBITDA of US$ 1.5 billion (Rs.93030.000 Millions).

 

Novelis, the Company’s 100% subsidiary also faced several headwinds in the form of extended winter in the North American markets that led to sharp deterioration in the can market, rising physical premium leading to pricing pressures in the Asian markets, etc. Yet, it managed to deliver a robust adjusted EBITDA of US$ 885 Million.

 

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Company delivered a strong operational performance during FY14 in the face of several adversities. Three Greenfield projects (Mahan, Utkal and Aditya) became operational and are currently ramping up. These projects, in their fullness, would redefi ne the Company’s cost competitiveness on the global compass and significantly enhance the sustainability of its operations.

 

A unique strategy to catapult Indian aluminium market to the next level is already in place and soon the Company will develop capability to produce worldclass products such as canbody stock and ultra-thin gauge foils from its facilities in Hirakud and Mouda respectively. This would not only enhance the product portfolio but would also re-define Indian aluminium market.

 

At Novelis, projects are getting ready to capture the growth in emerging markets and enhance product portfolio across the globe. These projects will enable the Company to leverage the growth in nascent product markets such as automobiles, driven by environmental consciousness, and in beverage demand in Brazil spurred by the Soccer world cup and the Summer Olympics. Significant strides have been made to strengthen the recycling capabilities that will help Novelis improve its cost structure and enhance competitiveness and profi tability.

 

The highlights for the fi nancial year were:

 

• Highest ever Aluminium Metal volumes produced and sold

Aluminium Metal production in India is up 13%

• Highest ever Alumina production as Utkal started delivering strong volumes

Alumina production up 23%

• Strong operating performance by Copper business helped yield record EBIT.

• Three Greenfi eld projects, with an investment of over Rs.300000.000 Millions are now ramping up and are on course to achieve desired results,

• In addition, the brownfi eld projects, viz, Hirakud smelter expansion, Hirakud FRP Plant and Mouda Foils are also on stream and would strengthen the aluminium VAP portfolio further.

• Novelis too, achieved significant progress on all its strategic expansions. These include the ramp up of rolling production at the Pinda plant in Brazil, coupled with the mill expansions in Korea and the start of commercial production at its US automotive finishing lines.

• Consolidated revenue stood at Rs.876950.000 Millions as compared with Rs.801920.000 Millions in FY13.

• Profit before depreciation, interest and taxes stood at Rs.93030.000 Millions as against Rs.88490.000 Millions in FY13.

• Net profi t was lower at Rs.21750.000 Millions as compared with Rs.30270.000 Millions in FY13 on account of higher interest, depreciation and certain exceptional items.

• Of the total annual revenue of Rs.876950.000 Millions, Aluminium Business contributed Rs.692180.000 Millions, vs. Rs.622590.000 Millions last year. Aluminium EBIT for FY14 was Rs.37640.000 Millions as compared with Rs.43880.000 Millions posted in FY13.

• Copper business delivered a robust performance, generating an EBIT of Rs.10250.000 Millions. The copper business’ performance cushioned the pressure on aluminium margins, vindicating the virtue of a balanced portfolio of the Company.

• During the year, the Company refinanced project loans for all three Greenfield projects; this would yield significant savings in interest payments.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

ALUMINIUM BUSINESS

 

INDUSTRY REVIEW

 

Global Aluminium demand grew at around 5% in 2013 to around 50 Mn tonnes. The demand growth rate moderated primarily as Chinese demand growth moderated to 10% after clocking a growth rate of 19% and 16% in the earlier years. Elsewhere, aluminium consumption increased in the OECD markets notably in the US and Europe. North American consumption grew at around 2% after 6% growth in the previous year, while EU registered a turnaround with 1.1% growth as compared with de-growth in the previous year. Apart from Asia, which grew at 7%, demand growth from Africa was strong at about 5%.

 

In China, visible slowdown in the construction sector after government enforced restrictions and decline in demand from packaging sector resulted in slowing of demand growth. However, the demand from automobile sector and consumer goods sectors remained strong. In the US, though demand growth was secular across all industries; the primary drivers were automobile and aerospace sectors.

 

In India, with a slowdown in power sector (that consumes over 40% of aluminium) and auto sector, Indian consumption declined for the first time in over a decade.

 

Globally, aluminium production increased by around 4.5% to more than 50 Mn tonnes. Chinese production increased by almost 10% to 24.4 Mn tonnes which was around 47% of global production. In the rest of the world, there was a marginal decline in production, which was lower by around 0.3%. Barring Middle East, there were production curtailments in most global geographies. In Australia, South America and Europe, production declined by around 5%.

 

Chinese capacities increased by over 14% as new capacities continued to come on stream, especially in Western China, while the closure of old capacities lagged behind.

 

The industry continued to be plagued with high inventories and the global aluminium inventory, including the off-exchange stocks, has been estimated at over 12 million tonnes, which had a huge overhang on the prices.

 

Strong contango and low financing cost ensured that more and more stocks got diverted to the warehouses under financial contracts. This, coupled with strong demand and low load out rates due to various reasons

including logistic challenges, ensured high regional premiums, which reached historic high levels. Across the globe, local premiums were higher than $220/ tonne.

 

Sluggish global economic conditions, surplus production, rising inventories and periodic bouts of risk averseness leading to bearish sentiments resulted in low aluminium prices.

 

Cost of production for most aluminium players continued to remain high due to challenges pertaining to energy inputs and resources.

 

In the western world, rising grid tariffs with increasing energy demand continued to impact power costs that account for almost 30-40% of aluminium cost of production. South Africa too continued to struggle with energy inflation. In China, smelters on the eastern side continued to suffer as energy prices continued to climb up with the defi cit widening in the east coast region.

 

China now is in the process of building new capacities in the Western/North Western region, endowed with abundant coal reserves and this is expected to bring down the power cost substantially. Indian smelters continued to bear the brunt of rising coal prices and rising diesel prices accentuated by decontrolling steps in the oil sector.

 

The other important input cost for the aluminium smelters is alumina cost. Alumina prices were supported by factors like China’s imports, and export ban/increased export taxes from some countries like Indonesia, India on bauxite. Alumina prices have moved up to almost 17-18% of aluminium prices and are expected to remain firm in the wake of strong demand from Chinese and middle eastern smelters as also constrained supplies of ore (bauxite) due to various reasons such as higher costs, declining grades, resource nationalism, logistic challenges, regulatory road blocks, etc.

 

Several global producers continued to make losses due to rising costs and subdued prices. In fact, the recent aluminium pricing scenario is the longest period wherein aluminium prices are still well below the marginal cost of production and where over 25% of producers are estimated to be making cash losses.

 

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

Against this backdrop, the Company’s aluminium business operational performance was truly creditable and superior to most global peers.

 

OUTLOOK

 

After a slowdown, the Indian recovery is on the mend and the economy is expected to grow at over 5% in 2014 on stronger consumption and investment, as per various estimates.

 

Similarly, the average economic growth in South Asia is projected to pick up gradually over the next few years, after remaining near a two-decade low in 2013. The moderate recovery is expected to be underpinned by stronger consumption and investment in the context of enhanced macroeconomic stability. The business and consumer confidence is expected to improve with enhanced external balances and relatively stable currencies.

 

The external demand is also projected to improve in 2014-15 as economic activity in developed economies gains momentum. US Fed is not expected to raise rates until the next year. A possible fallout may be that low rates for too long could push asset prices too high, or encourage investors to take on too much risk. The Fed is unwinding its massive bond-buying stimulus this year and is expected to start raising interest rates next year from the near-zero levels the central bank has maintained since December 2008. As the Fed normalizes monetary policy, one may witness a few hiccups. Similarly, at present, certain geo-political risks also weigh on the demand recovery and growth prospects.

 

In 2014, the global aluminium demand is expected to grow at around 6-7%. This demand growth will be led by recovery in the OECD economies. The US and the EU are both expected to witness a healthy demand pick up. After severe winter weather affected activity in the USA in Q1 2014, the outlook for the rest of the year and beyond is positive with primary aluminium demand growing from 5.0 Mt in 2013 to 5.9 Mt in 2018, a CAGR of 3.4%. Demand from the construction sector in the USA is also forecast to grow notably by 2018. The heavy winter storms that affected the USA for much of Q1 2014 had a significant impact on construction activity but with the weather easing and the traditional building season about to begin, there is optimism about demand from the sector in 2014.

 

Western Europe is expected to grow at over 2% in 2014. Growth in demand for primary aluminium in the region is expected to rise at a slightly faster rate than the economic growth rate. Germany is expected to lead growth in the region this year with an increase of over 3% for primary aluminium demand. The two major end use sectors in Western Europe; construction and transport, are set to lead the region’s growth in primary consumption over the forecast period. An increase in demand in the transport sector, as vehicle production in Western Europe increases and aluminium content in automobiles rises, will result in increase in demand.

 

China, which has been the prime demand driver for aluminium over last several years, shall witness a decline in demand growth rate and yet the demand is expected to grow at around 8% (on a higher base). The demand is expected to be led by investment in infrastructure and also rising urbanisation leading to consumption led growth. The demand from Japan and Korea is expected to remain steady particularly in Japan with ‘Abenomics’ showing its impact. The demand from South East Asia is expected to be strong. Indonesia may witness a strong surge in demand after the elections, according to some analysts. Middle East demand too is expected to remain strong with thrust on downstream consumer centric growth.

 

In India, demand prospects have changed dramatically after the strong political mandate and the improvement in investor sentiment. Demand is expected to witness a significant boost with expectations of reforms, especially in the power sector. Aluminium consumption growth in 2014 is expected to be in line with the expected GDP growth of over 5%. In 2013, global aluminium production was at around 50.2 Mn tonnes, which is expected to increase to 52.7 Mn tonnes in 2014 as per the available projections.

 

Consumption is expected to outpace production in 2014 rising to 52.8 Mn tonnes from 49.9 Mn tonnes in 2013, leading to a modest deficit after many years and this deficit is expected to increase further in 2015 as consumption is expected to continue to remain strong, while capacity curtailments in some regions are expected to keep overall production increase in check. The deficit excluding China will be significantly higher, as per various projections. In China though, there will be a surplus as new capacities in Western China come to the fore. Outside China, several capacity curtailments were announced. These cuts aggregate to over 2 million tonnes.

 

Prolonged period of depressed prices and cost inflation has led several producers to mothball lossmaking facilities and curtail production. In many cases, the capacity closures are permanent as many of these were dependent on grid power based on long term contracts. With the resultant higher power tariffs after these contracts got over, these capacities have become unviable.

 

Even in China, government has announced several measures to curb pollution, which are already forcing some of the older smelters to close. A total of around 3 Mn tonne capacity curtailments are expected in China, while at the same time over 4 Mn tonne of capacity is expected to come on stream primarily in the North West China. These capacities though are expected to take some time for ramp up, especially in view of the subdued prices.

 

The other major factor that is likely to put a lid on Chinese aluminium production is Indonesian bauxite export restrictions. Over the last few years, bulk of Chinese refineries were dependent on bauxite from Indonesia. If these restrictions continue, China may face bauxite crunch and may try to import bauxite from other regions which will have significant bearing on costs; this may result in further production cuts. Outside China, the production is expected to increase in the Middle East and India, while the Western world, Brazil and Australia are expected to produce less.

 

In addition to the robust demand, the inventory financing trade is likely to continue in view of the low interest rate regime. As a result, physical availability is expected to remain constrained keeping physical premium high.

 

LME prices, in the recent times have moved up after touching $1700 levels. More importantly, physical premiums have moved up sharply and now are at historic high levels after the proposed changes in LME rules were halted after a UK court ruling. The rule was due to have started on April 1st, 2014 in order to reduce queues at affected warehouses. The ruling could maintain premiums at elevated levels. Industry sources forecast the US Midwest premium to average 18¢/lb in 2014 before easing to average 11¢/lb in 2018. In 2014, the premium represented 18% of the delivered price compared to less than 3% in 2007.

 

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE:

 

Copper business got impacted due to planned shutdown in the first quarter. The production was restored following the revamp of smelter. The business registered a strong operating performance with production for the year being 4.5% higher than the previous year.

 

Operating gains on the back of enhanced efficiencies, aided by various strategic initiatives for value maximisation and waste to wealth initiatives enabled the business to register best ever operating performance, with operating profits surpassing Rs.10000.000 Millions mark for the first time in the history of the business. The TC/RC for the year was better though co-product prices were significantly lower as industrial growth slowed down. Better TC/RC and higher proportion of VAP allowed the business to partially offset the negative impact of lower co-product prices and inflationary tendencies on the input front.

 

With improved product and market mix, and better operating efficiencies, copper business managed to deliver a robust performance. Despite a shutdown in Q1, the EBIT for the year stood at Rs.9380.000 Millions against Rs.7680.000 Millions in the previous year, a jump of 22%.

 

COPPER OUTLOOK

 

In the short-term, the pace of copper supply growth relative to demand is expected to keep the market in surplus before 2017. Industry experts forecast growth in refined copper consumption to be a little shy of 5% in 2014, driven largely by China and North America. Two key factors are likely to drive consumption of copper: First, restricted scrap availability globally (global scrap supply has fallen by 9-10% year-on-year in Q1 CY2014) and secondly, greater affordability for consumers that the drop in copper prices has generated.

 

Current copper prices appear to represent a bargain and an excellent buying opportunity for China’s State Reserve Bureau and industrial consumers, according to some analysts.

 

Copper demand in China is expected to be strong given the thrust on rural electrification and the grid development. In addition to China, the demand from South Korea and Japan is also expected to grow firmly. The Korean economy is expected to register a strong recovery this year, with the Bank of Korea recently raising its annual growth forecast to 4% - higher than the 3% increase last year. Overall Asian copper demand is expected to grow at over 8%. Copper demand from EU region is expected to be growing at around 4% as EU continues to recover, while the North American demand is likely to grow at around 3%. Smelter capacity is expected to continue its growth at a CAGR of 5.8% p.a. till 2016. On account of surplus and risk averse macroeconomic environment, copper prices are unlikely to flare up in the next 1 – 2 years. Overall mine production capacity is forecast to rise from 18 million tonnes in 2013 to 21 millon tonnes by 2015, an increase of 17%. Beyond 2015, mine production may be subdued due to reserve depletion. Available forecasts suggest that with new mine supply

coming on stream, the concentrate availability should be good - reflecting in improved TC/RC. However, Indonesian export ban and tax issues may create certain hiccups.

 

The benchmark TC/RC for 2014 is higher than 2013 benchmarks. With TC/RC contracts signed at levels 30% higher than 2013 levels, smelters are in a good spot. Higher TC/RC, coupled with expected revival in the domestic economy augurs well for the Company’s copper business. Indian refined copper market, which had a lackluster trend in FY14, is expected to look up in the near-term on the back of improved investor sentiment. However, rising trend in imports poses a challenge for the domestic industry.

The Company has received a notice dated 24th March, 2007, from Collector (Stamp), Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, alleging that stamp duty of Rs.2529.600 Millions is payable in view of order dated 18th November, 2002, of the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad approving scheme of arrangement for merger of Copper business of Indo Gulf Corporation Limited with the Company. The Company is of the opinion that it has a very strong case as there is no substantive/computation provision for levy/calculation of stamp duty on court order approving scheme of arrangement under Companies Act, 1956, within the provisions of Uttar Pradesh Stamp Act. Moreover the properties in question are located in the State of Gujarat and thus the Collector (Stamp), Kanpur, has no territorial jurisdiction to make such a demand. It is pertinent to note that the Company in 2003-04 has already paid stamp duty which has been accepted as per the provisions of the Bombay Stamp Act 1958 with regard to transfer of shareholding of Indo Gulf Corporation Limited as per the Scheme of Arrangement. Furthermore, the demand made is on an incorrect assumption. The Company’s contention amongst the various other grounds made is that the demand is illegal, against the principles of natural justice, incorrect, bad in law and mala fide. The Company has fi led a writ petition before the Hon’ble High Court of Allahabad, inter alia, on the above said grounds, which is pending determination.

 

Against the notifications issued by the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions of Uttar Pradesh, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh states under the provisions of Electricity Act, 2003, in respect of Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO), the Company has fi led writ petitions before the jurisdictional high courts on the ground, inter alia, hat RPO cannot be made applicable to captive users and the High Court(s) at Allahabad, Cuttack and Jabalpur have granted stay on the applicability of the RPO. Further, the Company has received favorable order from the Appellate Authority and Uttar Pradesh Regulatory Commission on applicability of RPO to units with Co-generation facility. In view of pending writ petitions and favourable order obtained from Appellate Authority, no provision has been considered necessary at this stage.

 

The assessing officer, while framing the assessment for AYs 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11, has

made adjustment, inter alia, amounting to Rs.2703.200 Millions, Rs.10638.900 Millions and Rs.3161.000 Millions to total income of respective assessment years on account of purported arms’ length fee for corporate guarantee provided to foreign banks for granting loan to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, viz., AV Minerals (Netherlands) N.V. The Company has fi led appeals against these orders. The Company has been advised that, considering the facts of the case, no provision is necessary for these adjustments.
