FINANCIAL REVIEW
GENERAL AND CORPORATE MATTERS
During the year, the Company has achieved one
of its best performances with optimism and renewed vigor despite a challenging macro economic
environment. The Company’s revenue from operations increased to
Rs.3194.523 Millions in the current year
from Rs.1356.141 Millions in the previous year (an increase of about 135%) and
the gross profit for the year
significantly increased to Rs.281.094 Millions as against Rs.93.338 Millions in
the previous year. With the investment plans
announced by large operators in enhancing optical fibre network and the
take-off in National Optic Fibre Network(NOFN) From BBNL, etc. has put the
Company in an advantageous position to achieve and realize the upward growth
curve in telecom cables business in the
immediate future.
The gross revenue from operations for the year
substantially increased as compared to the previous year mainly due to
increased off take of optical fibre cables by the Company’s important private
sector operators and domestic government customers coupled with a continuous
sales growth in the export markets. The Company has also supplied reasonably
good volume of high fibre count Optical Fibre Cables to a leading private
sector customer during the year reflecting Company’s strategy to remain
consistently relevant to the evolving business needs of the customers. Despite evolving business preferences and
intense competitive landscape in telecom cable industry, the traditional PIJF
Cables and other specialty cables business have increased their share
moderately in the overall revenue from operation of the Company. With the emphasis on control on the
material consumption and monitoring of factory and other overheads, the Company
has achieved a significant increase in the gross profit levels compared to the
previous year figure. This was possible as the Company has been consistently
working on reducing the costs at all levels and on improving the margins by
continuous innovation and development of cost effective products.
Building the country’s new telecom
infrastructure based on latest cost effective world-class technology and upgrading
the existing network facilities is of paramount importance. The need for
building a state-of-the-art telecom network is felt under various stages of
planning and implementation by all stakeholders including the regulator and the
government authorities. Some of the big
ticket telecom projects announced includes National Optic Fibre Network from
Bharat Broadband Network Limited (BBNL),
a special purpose vehicle promoted by public sector companies like BSNL, PGCIL
and RailTel under USO funding mechanism.
This ambitious project plans to bring rural India into the high-speed broadband
network by way of connecting 250,000
villages using 400,000 km. of optical fibre cables. Other private telecom
operators are also in the anvil for upgrading the existing network in 2G and 3G
and some are implementing ambitious Greenfield state-of-the-art network
using latest technologies like 4G-LTE
for high speed broadband applications to offer superior customer experience and
delight. Lastly, it is proved that higher
broadband penetration among the masses will uplift the economy of the country
as a whole and will contribute in
socio-economic development and inclusive growth. In order to achieve broadband
penetration, it would be necessary that
the last mile connectivity to the customers’ premises is capable to handle the
high speed connectivity. This
necessarily requires optical fibre cables to be laid to homes or buildings or
even to wireless transmission towers in the area. The National Telecom Policy,
2012 also provides for a strategy to encourage Fibre To The Home (FTTH) with
enabling guidelines and policies
favouring fast transformation of cities and towns into “Always Connected”
societies which augers well for telecom
cable industry in general.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The Company’s operations are predominantly
classified into Wires and Cables comprising primarily Tele communication Cables
and other types of Wires and Cables. Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) is mainly used
in long distance networks and generally forms the backbone of all telecom
networks. The overall trend for the technologies is focused on data and
converged services, and making the solutions more robust. OFC is the noticeable preference of
service providers for new network rollouts and upgrades of existing ones to
meet growing traffic demands, with its
virtual limitless capacity to transfer bandwidth. The deployment of
fourth-generation 4G LTE wireless networks
in India is already propelling the growth of OFC in the Indian subcontinent.
Hence, the next level of demand for bandwidth for data and video can only be
met by fiber.
The Indian market for copper telecom cable
viz. Jelly Filled Telephone Cable (JFTC) has been passing through very
difficult times in the last few years. The number of fixed line telephone
subscribers in India is witnessing stagnant or declining trend whereas wireless
services continue to grow at a phenomenal pace leading to anemic demand coupled
with unremunerative prices for JFTC. The fluctuation in the price of copper and
the volatile exchange rate are the other challenges faced by the vendors in the
industry. The volatility of copper pricing has been escalating consistently in
the last three years. Keeping a steady price for copper products has become a
challenge for every cable manufacturer.
There is no material change in the industry
structure as was reported last year.
OVERALL REVIEW
Business Review and Outlook
At present, Optical Fibre Cable(OFC)
connectivity is available in all state capitals, districts, head quarters, and
up to the block levels. The government through National Optical Fiber
Network(NOFN) plans to connect all gram panchayats by utilizing existing fibres of three CPSUs – BSNL,
Railtel, and Power Grid – to avoid any duplication, and laying incremental
fibre (estimated to be 500,000 km)
wherever necessary. Dark fibre network thus created to fill the gap between
gram panchayats and blocks will be lit
by Gigabit Passive Optical network technology. It is estimated that NOFN will
enable effective and faster implementation of various mission mode e-governance
projects amounting to Rs.500000.000 millions initiated by the Department of Information Technology besides the
services for rural areas by the private sector.
The year 2013 may have paved the way for a
path to revival, and now the industry is looking at 2014 with cautious
optimism. The year 2014 will likely be a
year of consolidation and strengthening of business by most mobile network
operators. With rationalization of
realized rates, sharp growth of data revenue, control on acquisition costs and
churn, and some clarity on the
regulatory front, the industry, albeit still a long way from being financially
robust, is set to see positive growth and stability.
Increasing data consumption will enable
incumbent operators to effectively address consumers’ demands for better
quality services and disruption-free
access across 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. Rapid adoption of smartphones and data
addiction has already propelled
consumption of high speed data services. In fact, operators are feeling the
urgency to address their network
optimization and coverage issues by implementing efficient architecture and
equipment. This positive change has
already resulted in the growth of consumption in OFC which augurs well
for the company.
Some investment plans have been announced by
large operators. One of the multinational giants plans to invest Rs. 70000.000
millions over the next couple of years, in enhancing network, fiber optics and
assets. This is in addition to its annual budget of Rs.40000.000 – 50000.000
millions.
Another important private sector corporate
plans to invest Rs.70000.000 millions over the next two to three years to
launch 4G services on a pan-India level.
Since a simultaneous rollout of 4G services is planned in Kolkata, Delhi,
Mumbai, and Jamnagar before the second
quarter of FY 2014-15, major equipment procurement is expected. Punjab shall
see Rs. 65000.000 millions on digital
infrastructure for 4G telecom services to the tune of Rs. 25000.000 millions
and Rs.40000.000 millions from another private
sector giant.
OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS
The telecom sector, which was a poster boy for
the past five years and an example for the world in terms of growth in
number of subscribers for voice
connectivity, has been in rough weather for the past one or two years.
The Indian optical fibre cable manufacturing
facilities were operating at low capacities for many years now and they
were mainly dependent on exports to
utilize a decent capacity to cover costs. But now from 2013-14 onwards, the
industry is finally seeing a brisk
business with almost all plants are working at full capacity mainly due to some
of the private operators’ thrust in building world class telecom networks using
optical fibre cables especially for 4G LTE data centric network.
The increasing usage of Smartphones across the
entire strata of the population both urban and rural parts of our country warrants the deployment of high bandwidth capable
optical fibre cables in all backbone, metro, access, subscriber segments of telecom network. The youth of our country
is data hungry with the explosive use of Social Media networks with the data
traffic growth is set to reach exponential levels which can’t be catered by the
existing network capabilities and huge usage
of optical fibre cables is underway across the country. At last, Optical
fibre cable industry is set to explode and 2013-14 is already a turning point
and considerable requirement is on the anvil.
It can be concluded that though the year
2012-13 has not been great, the outlook for 2013-14 and the coming years
looks promising for the telecom sector.
With clarity on the licensing and spectrum front, with merger and acquisition
guidelines finalized, government
investments committed in the NOFN project and dedicated countrywide optical
fibre cable network for the country’s
armed forces.
The customer base in telecommunication cable
industry is relatively concentrated. The Company has, however, been able to retain and expand its customer base in
domestic and overseas market places with enlargement of products range and consistent quality. The Company with the
excellent brand image apart from the value addition from the Joint Venture Partner viz. Ericsson Cables AB, Sweden, is
set to capitalize the surging growth opportunities in exports to a great
extent. Telecom Sector is impacted
substantially by government policies and investment. While no reversal in the
planned investment is envisaged, prices
and demand are definitely subject to changes in policies on tendering and
indenting. However, as explained above
the Government’s ambitious targets for telecommunication expansion and
broadband penetration seamlessly upto
village levels should see favourable regulatory environment in India. With the
Indian Optical Fibre Cables and LAN Data structured Cable market now forecast
to be set for a period of strong growth,
a number of leading international cable manufacturers may enter the market
which shall further intensify the cut
throat competition.
FINANCIAL
Financial risks would include, interalia, low
capacity utilization, unremunerative prices, highly concentrated customers base, shorter delivery schedule and
liquidated damages, foreign exchange exposure and related exchange rates
variation, commodity price including
adverse movements in prices of raw-materials, warranty and security, current or
future litigations, working capital
management and interest rate, contingent liabilities, etc. In addition, the
credit risks could increase, if the financial condition of Company’s customers
decline. The Company regularly identifies and monitors the financial risks as
well as potential business threats and develops appropriate risk mitigation
plans. The Company’s crisis management capability is also reasonably honed to
protect its reputation with its stakeholders.
