OPERATIONAL REVIEW:

 

During the year, subject had a turnover of Rs.475.443 Millions against Rs. 2053.537 Millions in the previous year with total expense of Rs. 594.871 Millions against 1789.984 Millions in the previous year. The Company’s Profit before exceptional items and tax was negative Rs. 119.428 Millions (Previous Year Rs.265.378).

 

Subject has earned Net profit for the current year Rs. 13,596.53, with the extraordinary item being consideration on sale of business amounting Rs. 1368.035 Millions as compared to net profit of Rs. 217.073 Millions in the previous year. The Basic EPS of subject for the year 2013-2014 before extraordinary item and after extraordinary item is Rs. (0.53) and Rs. 85.29 respectively.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The year that was FY 2013-14 was a difficult year with the markets observing a lot of ups and downs. Your Company managed to tide through this difficult and uncertain year with a fair amount of success. It is true that no outstanding were created during the year but the Company did manage to maintain its market share in the Crushing and Screening business post Joint Venture.

 

During FY 2013-14, subject closed a Business Transfer Agreement for a strategic joint venture with Switzerland based Ammann Group. The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Apollo Earthmovers Limited, transferred their respective identified businesses, being the entire product portfolio of asphalt plants and paver business (excluding crushing and screening business) of the Company on April 10, 2013 to Ammann Apollo India Private Limited (Previously known as Apollo Construction Equipments Limited) on slump sale basis.

 

This resulted in substantial cash surplus of more than Rs.1360.000 Millions, leading to a favourable liquidity position. Simultaneously, it was observed that there had been an unwarranted fall in the market price of Equity Shares of the Company.

 

These facts when reviewed against the management’s overall objective of maximization of shareholders wealth, led the management to consider buyback of the Equity Shares of the Company as an effective way of utilizing the cash surplus. The Buyback was initiated out of the Company’s accumulated free reserves leading to:

 

1.     Reduce outstanding number of equity shares and consequently increase Earnings per share over a period of time.

2.     Effectively utilize surplus cash

3.     Make the Balance Sheet leaner and more efficient to improve key return ratios like Return on Net Worth, Return on Assets etc.

 

The management has and will continue to strive in protecting the interests of all the stakeholders thus justifying the trust and confidence reposed on them by the stakeholders. The management has always adopted an unbiased attitude in all its actions and has consistently followed the practice of transparency. The management firmly believes in profit sharing and has made sincere efforts to fulfill the expectations of the stakeholders.

 

Subject continues with its endeavor of contributing in a positive manner to the society at large by improving on the energy efficiency levels of its products.

 

 

The Company’s financial results can be summed up as follows:

 

1.     Total Income of the Company is Rs.475.443 Millions.

2.     Profit before Interest and exceptional items of the Company is Rs.4.639 Millions.

3.     Extraordinary item is Rs.1368.035 Millions (Net of tax)

4.     Profit after Tax is Rs.1359.653 Millions.

5.     Earnings per Share is Rs.85.29 (Basic) and Rs.82.25 (Diluted).

 

Due to the slump sale of the business and volatile economic conditions, leading the market to become challenging, the sale during the FY 2013-14 has reduced as compared to FY 2012-13. The main reason apart from transfer of business is poor performance of overall mining and manufacturing sector due to a variety of reasons. Delays in regulatory approvals, problems in land acquisition and rehabilitation, environmental clearances and time overrun in the implementation of projects were the likely reasons resulted in slowing external and internal demands.

 

The overall economic conditions in the country did not meet with the original estimates, emerging mining as one of the stressed sector. In FY 2013-14, your company experienced uneven periods of sales. The first half was at best a steady performance while the second half provided the growth. Subject was always alive to the market conditions and with a combination of dedicated efforts, experience and expertise managed to obtain maximum mileage in a difficult environment. Taking cognizance of this difficult period, in the year under review the Company relied on market money as well as on the internal accruals.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE:

 

India continues to be one of the most promising of BRIC Countries. International Companies are looking at India for growth. But for the trying economic conditions in many parts of the globe the industry would have witnessed a far higher level of investments. Though there is an overcapacity in the global system but Large global clients have plans to invest billions of dollars in several mega projects over the next few years which augur well with the demand led growth.

 

The Crushing and Screening market segment in India is a part of Mining Sector and is experiencing challenging environment. Subject is working hard to build up the reasonable market share in this segment.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Subject sees a moderate outlook in the coming years for Crushing and Screening business on its own. With the existing cash balances, the Company can mobilize the funds and venture in diversified business activities, outside of road construction equipment business. With the Government committing itself to infrastructure in general and construction in particular, the demands for the Company’s products are likely to see a good growth in the coming years.

GUJARAT APOLLO INDUSTRIES LIMITED LAUNCHES STRATEGIC JOINT VENTURE WITH SWITZERLAND BASED AMMANN GROUP

 

Ahmedabad, 10 April 2013

 

The Gujarat based Apollo Group, a market leader in road construction equipment business in India, has launched a strategic joint venture with the Ammann Group of Switzerland. The Ammann Group now holds a controlling stake of 70% in erstwhile the consolidated road construction equipment business of the Apollo Group.

 

This investment marks the entry of the Ammann Group into the Indian market for road construction equipment, which is expected to grow in view of the policy thrust of government on increasing the road network across the country.

 

The Apollo Group is the market leader in India in the manufacture of road construction equipment and this joint venture will give Ammann a head start in its expansion plans into India. The joint venture, with the involvement of the Ammann Group, is expected to have a more robust portfolio of products and customer solutions, significant operational synergies, global market reach and cash flow generation to support growth.

 

To form the joint venture, Gujarat Apollo Industries Limited (GAIL) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Apollo Earthmovers Limited (AEML) have transferred their respective identified businesses, being the entire product portfolio of asphalt plants and the paver business (excluding the crushing and screening business) to Apollo Construction Equipments Limited (ACEL) on slump sale basis. Entities forming part of the Ammann Group have acquired fresh equity shares of ACEL such that their shareholding in ACEL, (which will be known as 'Ammann Apollo India Private Limited'), is 70% and the balance 30% shares of ACEL are now held by AEML.

 

The successful existing management team of the Apollo Group will continue to manage the joint venture and will be complemented with the-expertise from the Ammann Group.

 

Apollo has a broad network of sales and service branches in India, and the joint venture's products ideally supplement the Ammann range on the global markets. Consequently, the joint venture will remain responsible for product sales in the region of India, whilst the Ammann Group will now market the Apollo products worldwide.

 

GAIL shareholders would benefit by value accretion owing to 30% economic interest in the equity shareholding of ACEL. The Apollo Group intends to utilize the sale proceeds realized by GAIL and AEML, towards the advancement of its crushing and screening business and in pursuing diversified business activities to continue to build value for its shareholders.

 

"We are delighted to have entered into this strategic partnership with the Ammann Group, which is a worldwide leading manufacturer of asphalt mixing plants, compactors and asphalt pavers. We eagerly look forward to working together with the Ammann Group and realizing substantial value for all stakeholders and enhance the enhance growth prospects of the Apollo Group through this alliance" said Mr. Anil Patel, the founder and lead promoter of Apollo Group.

 

"Ammann is delighted to have found a partner of this high calibre. Apollo has been operating with great success on the Indian market for several decades now, its key posts are staffed by members of the founding family, and the company embraces the same values as Ammann in its dealings with customers, partners and employees.

 

This partnership with Apollo serves to significantly strengthen the market position of Ammann in India and all over the world" said Hans-Christian Schneider, CEO of the Ammann Group.

 

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India and Desai and Diwanji advised the Apollo Group on this transaction. BMR Advisors was the transaction advisor to Ammann Group, while Luther LLP and DSK Legal were the legal advisors.
