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

 

Total income increased by 16.6% with income from operations increasing by 15.4%. This may be attributed to an increase in both rating assignments from new companies as well as from existing clients. Total expenditure increased by 26.9%, with an increase in wage bill largely on account of an increase in staff count from 565 on March 31, 2013 to 594 on March 31, 2014. Profit before tax increased by 12.2% in FY14, and with provision for tax rising by 8.9%, profit after tax increased by 13.5%.

 

 

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

While overall economic conditions have been and continue to be challenging, your company was successful in both the widening of customer base and deepening of relationship with existing clients. The company has now completed over 30,000 rating assignments since inception to reach 31,381 as of March 2014. The cumulative amount of debt rated has increased to Rs.56.99 lakh crore as of March 2014 from Rs. 48.51 lakh crore as of March 2013. As of March 2014, your company had business relationships with 7,754 clients (5,263 in March 2013). The relentless thrust on expanding the client base will set the foundation for further leveraging in future.

 

As per the statistics given above the total number of rating assignments completed grew by about 5.7% in FY14 aggregating to 7,865 from 7,439 in FY13. Also, the total volume of debt rated has witnessed an increase on account of bank facility ratings segment by 15.5% while that of long term debt increased by 13.7%. Volume of short-term debt was lower by 6.8%.

 

In terms of rating assignments completed, there was a decline in the number of short term ratings and long term ratings while bank facility ratings increased by 0.7%. The miscellaneous category (including grading) witnessed robust increase of more than 39.8%, which was mainly due to higher NSIC-MSME ratings.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

BACKGROUND

 

The hope for revival of the Indian economy failed to materialize in FY14. The economy continued to be challenged by the twin problems of low growth and high inflation. The domestic economy had witnessed a drastic drop in GDP growth from an average 8.2% during FY04-FY12 to sub 5% in FY13 and FY14. India’s economy in the last 2 years has been marked by declining industrial output, significant drop in investment, deterioration in asset quality, high current account deficit, and depreciation in exchange rate and persistent high inflation that prompted the pursuance of a high interest rate regime by the monetary authority.

 

While in terms of overall growth, FY14 has seen marginal improvements with GDP growth estimates for the year being pegged at 4.7%, 0.2% higher than that in FY13, it fell short of earlier estimates of 4.9% growth. In terms of sectoral growth, the Indian economy was sustained by agriculture and the services sector in FY14. The agriculture sector, aided by favorable monsoons, clocked noteworthy growth of 4.7%, while the service sector despite registering a deceleration from an average 9.7% in FY05-12 to 6.8% in FY14, continues to be the single most significant contributor to the country’s economy.

 

The industrial sector has been highly subdued since FY13 with growth hovering around zero. FY14 witnessed a further deterioration in the sector with growth coming in at 0.4%, lower than the 1.0% growth of FY13. The growth contraction in the mining and manufacturing sub-segments, depressed investments and a slump in consumer demand have resulted in low industrial growth.

 

Also, high inflation negatively impacted consumption demand and investments have declined on account of high interest rates and prevalence of spare capacity.

 

Low growth and investment set the tone for subdued activity in both the credit and debt markets in FY14. Growth in credit to industry had slowed down while it was higher in case of agriculture and the retail segment. In particular, companies in the large industry segment preferred to source the ECB market for funds and higher growth was witnessed in the SME space. Further, with infra projects being held back on account of high interest rates, fresh debt issuances had also been subdued during the year. CARE’s performance needs to be juxtaposed against this background.

 

 

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

 

CARE Rated India’s First Securitization Transaction backed by Mortgage Guarantee. The agency rated an innovative MBS transaction backed by housing loans originated by Dewan Housing Finance Ltd and carrying the mortgage guarantee from India Mortgage Guarantee Corporation Private Limited (IMGC). This has been a major highlight this year as it also shows the way for such transactions in future when backed by a credit rating.

 

CARE also assigned a rating to the IFMR Impact Investment Fund managed by IFMR Investment Managers Private Limited This is the first ever AIF rating assigned in India.

 

 

BUSINESS PROSPECTS FOR FY15

 

CARE’s business prospects would be dependent on the macroeconomic developments. Gradual recovery in the economy is expected in the ongoing fiscal. The government clearing pending projects would provide boost to the investment climate leading to pick up in debt issuances. Higher growth in bank credit would provide support for bank loan rating.

 

The company would attempt to widen its client base and also increase its share in the business standard top 1000 companies list and ET top 500 companies list. Emphasis on SME sector would continue in the current fiscal as well. Therefore, one can sense opportunity both within the existing rating universe as well as expansion of these boundaries.

Performance Review

 

·         In FY14, rating income improved by 15 %. The growth was driven by expansion in the total number of assignments rated from 7,439 to 7,865. Higher rating income was due to a combination of fresh rating assignments as well as ongoing surveillance assignments. In Q4, growth in rating income was 19.7%.

 

·         ‘Other income’ includes income from investments in instruments such as FMPs, tax free bonds etc. increased from Rs 2860.000 Millions in FY13 to Rs 3570.000 Millions in FY14.

 

·         Profit margins as defined by EBITDA and PAT were at 68.8% (71.5%) and 48.5% (49.8%) respectively in FY14. For Q4, they were 70.8% and 49.4% respectively.

 

CARE's performance was steady despite low macroeconomic conditions and capital market activity. Low GDP growth of 4.9% and negative industrial growth were accompanied by a decline in the investment rate which dampened activity in the debt market.

 

Commenting on the performance of Q4 & FY14, D.R. Dogra, Managing Director & CEO Credit Analysis and Research Limited said,

 

“CARE Ratings has done well under challenging conditions in terms of topline and bottom line growth. This has been a result of fairly aggressive widening of our client base and deepening of business relations with companies. This is manifested in the sharp increase in the number of our active clients from 5,263 in FY13 to 7,754 in FY14 while the volume of debt rated increased from Rs 7.8 lkh crore to Rs 8.9 lkh crore during this period.

 

We have also created the requisite infrastructure in terms of client-contact points in various locations in the country and scaled up our operations in our CARE Knowledge Centre to prepare ourselves well for the future when conditions improve.

 

Besides making significant forays into the SME segment in India, we have furthered our global plans, with ARC Ratings being launched in January. This along with our plans to start operations in Mauritius will help in diversification”.
