COMPANY OVERVIEW
ESAB
India Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated on November 10, 1987 and
commenced its business operations in July 1988. The Company is engaged in the
business of welding consumables i.e. welding electrodes, copper coated wires,
flux cored wires and welding fluxes and of welding equipment i.e. welding

As
a result of acquisition of Charter International plc. in January 2012 by Colfax
Corporation, ESAB Holdings Limited, UK and Exelvia Group India B.V. which were
100% subsidiaries of Charter became indirect subsidiaries of Colfax
Corporation. Consequently, the Company became a subsidiary of Colfax in 2012.
Pursuant to an offer made in 2012, Colfax’s ownership has increased from 56% to
74% in the Company
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ECONOMIC
& BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The
year 2013 has been a difficult one for most of the segments in the economy as
the Country continued to
experience
low growth and high inflation. A host of local and international factors led to
low levels of business
sentiment
and slowdown across virtually all their customer segments.
Industrial
production continued to contract through the year under the impact of high
interest rates, low investments and a significantly weakened currency. GDP
growth estimates went through a series of downward revisions and the impact was
particularly adverse in the Manufacturing segment that is key to the Company's
prospects.
Several projects were delayed or shelved due to a combination of financial and
policy bottlenecks.
Some
of the recent policy announcements encouraging Foreign Investments in India and
clearances for long
pending
projects present a ray of hope but prospects of revival hinge on timely
execution of the pronouncements
and
policies. A reportedly good monsoon is also expected to help boost flagging
demand. Reduction in the fiscal deficit and a stable currency with reasonable
interest rates are also key to revival prospects. The immediate future
continues
to be fraught with uncertainties and Industry looks to some stability in the
second half of the year.
On
issues specific to their Industry and the Company, the effect of slowdown
across all Steel consuming segments had an adverse effect on volumes and
margins. A significant reduction in infrastructure projects affected their
Equipments business in particular with a cascading impact on Consumables. Input
and conversion cost increases were not fully compensated by selling prices in
an increasingly competitive and tough market. Liquidity conditions were very
tight with persistent hardening of interest rates. This necessitated higher
credit cycles with trade. The above elements together with an increasingly
challenging product mix kept margins under huge pressure throughout the year.
Given the above backdrop, the Company focused strongly on product mix including
new launches, product rationalization, productivity improvement measures and a
tight control on costs to compensate for flat or declining volumes across
product groups.
Business
priorities and the Organization were reviewed continuously to look for
optimizing costs and benefits. The Company maintained its position as a
preferred partner in welding and cutting solutions. The Company is well
positioned as a leaner organization with a strong Balance Sheet to endure a
difficult phase and to capitalize on any opportunities when the trade cycle
improves.
INCOME STATEMENT
Net
Sales (Including Service Income) was down by over 13% over 2012. This was
across all product groups and
segments.
Relatively better performances in the R&M business and Exports that were
aided by a weakening
Rupee,
helped in softening the impact of declines in all other product groups.
Other
income was higher by about 38% due to increase in income from mutual funds.
Cash generation through tight management of working capital was a key positive
in a difficult year and cash surpluses were deployed in debt and liquid funds.
Materials
costs as a percentage to sales improved from 65.5% to 64.1% due to a
combination of enriched product
mix
and supply chain initiatives.
Cost
reduction initiatives including a tight control on discretionary spends
resulted in overheads including employee costs being lower by over 11% from
2012 levels.
Expenditure
on Consumption of Stores and Spares as also Repairs to Plant and Machinery were
lower by 13.6% and 17.5% respectively from 2012 due to initiatives taken at
Plants on Maintenance and cost reductions.
Excise
duty on Finished Goods were lower by Rs.66.500 Million in line with reductions
in Inventory of manufactured items.
Rates
and Taxes fell by Rs.10.600 Million with a reduction in provisioning
requirements for indirect tax matters as compared to 2012.
Transportation
and Freight expenses fell by Rs.35.500 Million through improved recoveries.
Depreciation was lower by 5% as compared to 2012 with Net Fixed Assets at the
same levels as in 2012
OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
There
has been no significant change in the economic environment in the current
quarter and most of the concerns highlighted in the earlier paragraphs continue
to exist. It is expected that macro-economic elements and the business
sentiments could stabilize towards the second half of the year. Multiple and
inter woven elements driving economic indicators present strong challenges to
any forecasting model.
Our
new product offerings and work currently in progress on development of more
products are expected to help sustain their leadership position. The long term
prospects are still considered positive despite the uncertainties around the
short term outlook. We are well placed as an organization to address growth in
opportunities as and when any economic revival happens.
Governmental
push on infrastructure, emerging focus on Tier II and Tier III cities and also
the spin off effects of a
good
monsoon present opportunities though the eventual impact could take time.
