BUSINESS REVIEW

 

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has estimated that the Indian economy is likely to register a growth rate of 4.9 per cent in 2013-14. This growth is significantly lower in comparison to the average of 7.6 per cent during 2004-05 to 2013-14. It is further stated that the sub-5 per cent growth of the economy in 2013-14 is primarily the result of the continued slowdown in the industrial sector that is estimated to grow at 0.7 per cent in 2013-14 and lower growth in the 'trade, hotels, transport and communications' segment of the service sector. On the brighter side, agriculture, electricity, gas and water supply, financial, insurance, real estate and business services and community as well as social and personal services sector are projected to have grown at faster rates in 2013-14 vis-ŕ-vis 2012-13. The World Economic Outlook (WEO) update released by the International Monetary Fund in January 2014 has revised the growth projection for the world economy slightly upwards to 3.0 per cent and 3.7 per cent for 2013 and 2014 respectively. From 2014 onwards, global growth prospects are projected to improve over the medium term at a gradual pace. In India, several reform measures have been undertaken including clearance of several large projects by the Cabinet Committee on Investment. These steps could help in revival of investment and growth in the economy. In addition, resurgence of exports, prospects of revival in the global economy and moderation in inflation observed recently, point to a better outlook for the Indian economy in 2014-15 vis-ŕ-vis 2013-14.

 

GRAPHITE INDIA

 

The Company posted a flat revenue during the year amidst continuing weak economic conditions, inflationary trends, contraction in manufacturing output and resulting sluggish demand faced by the user industries throughout the year, both globally and domestically. Revenue from Operations was Rs. 18448.900 Millions for FY 2013-14 as against Rs. 18361.800 Millions in the previous year. Production of steel through EAF route remained at the same level resulting in no growth in demand of Graphite Electrodes. The slide in price of Graphite Electrodes, which started in last year due to fierce competition, was steeper during the year. The year also witnessed reduction in major input costs. Reduction in input costs together with cost reduction initiatives and better inventory management could result in improved performance of the Company. The PAT of Rs. 1709.200 Millions for the current year was higher by 5% in comparison to Rs. 1630.800 Millions of previous year.

 

The Company's Graphite and Carbon Segment continues to be the main source of revenue and profit for the Company, accounting for about 92% of the total revenue. Exports suffered set back during the year due to weak performance by the Company's subsidiary in Germany. Glass Reinforced Plastic Pipes and Steel segment did not perform to expectation due to weak demand and unsustainable prices.

 

The business environment in all segments has become intensely competitive. In order to sustain and survive through this difficult phase, the Company has taken extraordinary measures in ensuring efficient management of all resources, innovative approach to cost reduction and high level of operating efficiencies.

 

The performance of the German subsidiaries suffered due to steep fall in selling prices and weak demand scenario in Europe.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

(i) Industry's structure and developments

 

A. Graphite and Carbon Segment

 

Graphite Electrodes

 

Graphite Electrode is used in electric arc furnace (EAF) based steel mills for conducting current that melts scrap iron and steel and is a consumable item for the steel industry. An increasing proportion of global steel is made using electric arc furnaces, and the electric arc furnace itself is getting more efficient, making more steel per tonne of electrode. The principal manufacturers are based in USA, South America, Europe, India, China, Malaysia and Japan.

 

Graphite Electrode demand is primarily linked with the global production of steel in electric arc furnaces. Between the two basic routes for steel production - (1) Blast Furnace (BF); and (2) Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) – the EAF route to steel production has increased over the last two decades to about 30% at the global level. The share of EAF is expected to grow further in years to come due to its inherent favourable characteristics of (a) an environment friendly and less polluting production process; (b) low capital cost; and (c) faster project (commissioning) time. Fresh investments in EAF steel mills are characterised by large furnace capacities requiring large diameter UHP Electrodes. It is expected that the demand for UHP Electrodes too will grow synchronously. These industry features coupled with an increasing proportion of EAF steel share in total crude steel production in future should proportionately augment the demand for Graphite Electrodes.

 

Stagnant demand, intense competition and sliding sales price continued to push challenges during the year. This is compounded by liberalisation of import tariff for these items by the Government in new FTA regime. On the other hand, Graphite Electrodes from India are subject to levies in some countries making imports dearer for overseas consumers.

 

The Government of India has also reduced rate of duty drawback on Graphite Electrodes from 4% to 3% with a cap of Rs. 3,200 / MT with effect from 22nd September, 2013. This has impaired competitiveness of Indian electrode industry.

 

The new facility for production of 20,000 MT of Graphite Electrodes at Durgapur has fully stabilised. Upgraded technology deployed in this facility has resulted in improved quality and efficient cost of production.

 

Calcined Petroleum Coke and Paste

The Coke Division in Barauni, engaged in the manufacture of Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC), which is used as a raw material for certain grades of electrodes, is one of the several backward integration initiatives of the Company. The Division also makes Carbon Electrode Paste and Carbon Tamping Paste. Two grades of CPC - aluminium and graphite - are produced here. CPC is a raw material used in the manufacture of regular and high power grade Graphite Electrodes. This is also a critical raw material for fine grained high density graphite used in speciality graphite products and impervious graphite equipment. Carbon Electrode Paste is used in ferro alloy smelters and Carbon Tamping Paste is used as a lining material in submerged arc furnaces.

 

This division could not perform to expectations because of poor demand, low realisation and constraint in supply of basic raw material i.e. raw petroleum coke

 

Impervious Graphite Equipment

The Impervious Graphite Equipment (IGE) Division is engaged in manufacturing and marketing of heat exchangers, ejectors, pumps and turnkey plants. These have a wide range of applications in corrosive chemicals industries such as pharmaceutical, agro-chemical, chloro alkali and fertilizer industries.

 

Over the years the Company has built this product line into a reliable brand with a reputation for prompt service, good quality and consistent performance through investing in strengthening the core competencies.

 

This division has maintained its performance inspite of difficult economic environment.

 

DGFT has amended export licensing requirement for SCOMET items which would help in speedy execution of export orders.

 

Captive Power

Power constitutes one of the major costs of Electrode Production. For captive consumption, the Company has an installed capacity of 31.5 MW of power generation through Hydel (18 MW) route and 13.5 MW through multi-fuel route. Power generation through Hydel Power Plant was higher to 52.54 million units as against 29.48 million units in the previous year due to very good monsoon. The multi fuel power generating sets remained as stand-by owing to adequate availability of power from the grid.

 

The Company terminated the Power Delivery Agreement (PDA) and Shares Subscription Agreement (SSA) with Wardha Power Co. Limited (WPCL) and invoked the arbitration clause last year. Arbitration proceedings are underway.

 

B. Steel Segment

 

Powmex Steels Division (PSD) is engaged in the business of manufacturing high speed steel and alloy steel having its plant at Titilagarh in the State of Orissa. PSD is the single largest manufacturer of High Speed Steel (HSS) in the country. HSS is used in the manufacture of cutting tools such as drills, taps, milling cutters, reamers, hobs, broaches and special form tools. HSS cutting tools are essentially utilised in - (a) automotive; (b) machine tools; (c) aviation; and (d) DIY market. The industry is characterised by one good quality manufacturer of HSS viz. PSD and several other small manufacturers who cater to the low end of the quality spectrum in the retail segment. On the demand side, the industry is broadly divided into large and small cutting tool manufacturers who use both domestic and imported HSS. PSD faces competition from small domestic producers and imports from large overseas manufacturers.

 

During the year under review, domestic market for HSS products continued to be subdued. However, the division was able to increase exports, and proposes to concentrate on this market for achieving higher volumes and better value addition in the coming year. With pick up in economic activity, it is expected that domestic sales of HSS products will improve progressively.

 

C. Other Segments

 

Glass Reinforced Plastic Pipes and Tanks (GRP)

GRP Division is engaged in manufacturing of large diameter Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic Pipes and Pipeline liners, by continuous filament process with computerized, advanced technology. These pipes have diverse applications such as water supply projects, power plants, sewerage disposal schemes, industrial effluent disposal, etc.

 

The Company has a good track record of supplying large diameter pipes in major infrastructure projects. During the year, the performance of the Division has remained below par due to severe under cutting of prices by competitors. Further, the Division had to face cost pressures on account of rising input prices and general inflationary economy. The market is increasingly getting flooded with small competitors owing to low technological requirement and low investment involved, resulting in unhealthy competition. Project cost over-runs, delay in completion of projects, disputes on contractual defaults and non-receipt of receivables are the several inherent risks in this business. Thus, it has become difficult to operate in this unpredictable business environment and the Company has become selective in picking its orders. This industry is expected to consolidate in the near future with closure of operations by one big manufacturer and likely closure of some other weak manufacturers.

 

The performance of the division was not satisfactory during the period due to severe competition. A big order has been received during the year from NTPC which will be executed in next year.

 

1.5 MW Hydel Power Facility

Power generated from this facility is sold to Karnataka Power Grid under a Power Purchase Agreement. Generation of power is entirely dependent on monsoon.

 

(ii) Opportunities and threats

India has acquired a strategic position on the global steel map, from the growing demand from infrastructure, real estate and automobile sector. India was ranked as the world's fourth largest crude steel capacity in 2011-12 and is expected to become the second largest producer of crude steel in the world by 2015-16. India is also one of the world's largest producers of sponge iron. The World Steel Association forecasts that global apparent steel use will increase by 3.1% to 1,527 Mt in 2014 following growth of 3.6% in 2013. In 2015, it is forecast that world steel demand will grow further by 3.3% and will reach 1,576 Mt. In 2013 world steel demand grew higher due to a stronger than expected performance in the developed world in the second half of the year. Domestic steel industry is strengthening production capacity in view of rising demand from infrastructure, automobile, construction, railway sector, etc. The demand landscapes for steel is expected to change in the medium to long term as the new Government is expected to increase spend on the infrastructure sector.

 

In the medium to long term, this augurs well for the domestic Graphite Electrode industry. But the short-term challenges such as: (a) less than projected GDP growth leading to softening of demand for steel, (b) disruption in supply of primary inputs to the EAF steel mills like consistent and adequate supply of quality power at affordable tariff, and soaring prices of scrap may perhaps restrict the production of steel through the EAF route. It may also put on hold some of the investment / expansion plans.

 

The Company is exposed to the threat of the cyclical nature of the steel demand as also to the risks arising from th volatility in the cost of input materials. The Company also faces the challenge in its domestic market, due to large scale import of graphite electrodes. Liquidity is a big issue for domestic steel industry which may result in increase in bad debts.

 

Volumes and business prospects, in general, would be impacted by factors like: (a) Uncertainty about the economic recovery in 2013-14; (b) doubts about the early resolution of the crisis in the euro area; (c) doubts about the pace of withdrawal of the fiscal support in the US.

 

While the Company is equipped and geared to face these business challenges, it is hopeful of realising its business goals, subject to a positive revival of the business environment.

 

(iii) Segment-wise Performance

 

Revenue of the Company

The revenue from operations amounted to Rs. 18448.900 Millions as against Rs. 18361.8 Millions in the previous year. Aggregate Export Revenue of all divisions together was Rs. 10830.400 Millions as against Rs. 11636.200 Millions in the previous year.

 

Graphite and Carbon Segment

Production of Graphite Electrodes and Other Miscellaneous Carbon and Graphite Products during the year was 68,094 MT against 67,583 MT in the previous year.

 

Production of Calcined Petroleum Coke during the year was 20,709 MT as against 24,183 MT in the previous year. Production of Carbon Paste during the year was 7,905 MT against 6,303 MT in the previous year.

 

Production of Impervious Graphite Equipment (IGE) and spares at 1,121 MT was higher as compared to that of 1,013 MT in the previous year.

 

Power generated from captive Hydel Power Plant of 18 MW capacity amounted to 52.54 million units during the year as against 29.48 million units in the previous year. Multi-fuel generating facilities remained as stand-by and were not operated due to adequate availability from the grid.

 

The Segment Revenue remained flat at Rs. 17047.700 Millions in comparison to Rs. 17008.300 Millions in the previous year. Domestic and Export sales in terms of volume increased during the year but realization impacted adversely due to severe competition. Profitability of the segment increased from Rs. 2786.600 Millions to Rs. 2940.200 Millions due to increase in volume, various cost initiatives taken by the Company, depreciation of rupee, etc.

 

Steel Segment

Production of HSS and Alloy Steels was 1,454 MT during the year as against 1,620 MT in the previous year.

 

Other Segments

The GRP Division produced 9,630 MT as against 4,298 MT in the previous year.

 

Sale of power from 1.5 MW Link Canal facility was 3.14 million units as against 2.05 million units in the previous year.

 

Outlook

As per the April-2014 update of the IMF World Economic Outlook (WEO), Global activity has broadly strengthened and is expected to improve further in 2014-15, with much of the impetus for growth coming from advanced economies. Although downside risks have diminished overall, lower-than-expected inflation poses risks for advanced economies. There is increased financial volatility in emerging market economies, and increases in the cost of capital will likely dampen investment and weigh on growth. Advanced economy policymakers need to avoid a premature withdrawal of monetary support. Emerging market economy policymakers must adopt measures to suit the changing fundamentals, facilitate external adjustment, further monetary policy tightening, and carry out structural reforms.

 

According to indications and forecasts, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) sees economic recovery on the back of global cues. The IMF has projected India's economy to grow by 5.4% in 2014-15 and 6.4% in 2015- 16 on the back of strengthening global growth, improving export competitiveness and implementation of recently approved investment projects. In its latest World Economic Outlook (WEO), the IMF said overall growth is expected to firm up on policies supporting investment and a confidence boost from recent policy actions, but will remain below trend. IMF said the global recovery is becoming broader, but the changing external environment poses new challenges to emerging markets and developing economies. The multilateral agency forecasts global growth to average 3.6% in 2014 - up from 3% in 2013 - and to rise to 3.9% in 2015.

 

Annual production for Asia was 1,080.9 Mt of crude steel in 2013, an increase of 6.0% compared to 2012. The region's share of world steel production increased slightly from 65.7% in 2012 to 67.3% in 2013. India's crude steel production in 2013 is estimated at 81.2 Mt as against 77.3 Mt in 2012, an increase of 5.1% on 2012.

 

The Indian steel sector has grown substantially during the last decade, registering a strong demand push in the last five years. The steel demand in India is expected to grow by 3.3% to 76.2 Mt in 2014, following 1.8% growth in 2013, due to an improved outlook for the construction and manufacturing sectors, even though this will be constrained by high inflation and structural problems. Steel demand is projected to grow by 4.5% in 2015 supported by the expectation that structural reforms will be implemented.

 

The production through EAF route should go up in view of its various advantages, primarily from the point of view of low emission of carbon dioxide. This development augurs well for the growth of Graphite Electrode demand in future years, inspite of reducing specific consumption of electrodes per tonne of steel produced, as a result of improvement in manufacturing technology of steel as well as electrodes.

 

With its competitive cost structure, strong technical product features and a well diversified customer base, the Company has established its presence in the global Graphite Electrode industry as a potential global player and this has significantly enabled the Company to penetrate aggressively, the growing market for large diameter UHP Graphite Electrodes.

 

It is expected that the domestic demand for steel and as a corollary for Graphite Electrodes may increase marginally. Faced with unfavourable business conditions, the global players have turned to the Asian markets and are following an aggressive pricing policy to capture volumes. This is likely to affect the Company's domestic volumes as also the profit margins.
