PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

During the financial year 2013-14, the economy was affected by a string of factors, including high inflation, high domestic interest rates, slowing global economy, policy bottlenecks, slowing industrial growth and consequently declining business sentiments. Further, there was a cut in advertising budgets of companies, affecting advertisement revenues which constitute the bulk of our revenues. Advertisement revenue remained stagnant during the year. Newsprint prices and other expenses rose to increased levels, which hit the company’s profitability. Consequently, Company incurred a loss of Rs.129 Millions during the financial year 2013-14.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The outlook for the current year continues to be challenging because of global uncertainties, and within India high inflation, policy bottlenecks, high current account deficit consequently depreciating Rupee, high interest rates and lower growth expectations. While the recent improvement of sentiment due to the formation of the new Government is encouraging, it may take some time before we witness the benefits of the improved economy. Advertising revenues are unlikely to improve significantly during this year. Newsprint price, though, have begun to stabilize and will help in keeping losses in control. The Company is expected to make losses in 2014-15.
