FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

The economic outlook for the year 2014-15 was promising while improvement in consumer demand was quite lukewarm. The Company’s jewellery business was also impacted due to regulatory changes and termination of the consumer friendly Golden Harvest Scheme. The Company’s brands witnessed good growth during the first half, while in the later half it witnessed a decline due to the absence of the Golden Harvest Scheme which used to contribute about 30% of the Jewellery Division’s revenues. The Company will however continue to invest in strategic initiatives taking into account its long term and sustainable growth plans.

 

During the year, the Company’s sales income grew by 8.96% to Rs.119367.100 Million compared with Rs.109551.400 Million in the previous year. Profit before tax grew by 3.93 % to Rs.10558.900 Million and the net profit grew by 11.05% to Rs.8230.700 Million. This performance came in the backdrop of an environment where the consumer sentiment did not pick up as expected. The strength of Company’s brands contributed to sales growth across all retail formats of watches, jewellery and eyewear.

 

The Watches business of the Company recorded an income of Rs.19210.400 Million, a growth of 7.27%, which was achieved through meticulous planning and execution of key initiatives. The income from Jewellery segment grew by 9.24% touching Rs.94299.700 Million. The income from other segments comprising Precision Engineering, a B2B Business, the Eyewear Business and accessories grew by 12.91% to Rs.5643.100 Million.

 

The year witnessed aggressive expansion of the Company’s retail network with a net addition of 123 stores. As on 31st March 2015, the Company had 1201 stores, with over 1.59 million square feet of retail space delivering a retail turnover of just under Rs.120000.000 Million. The Management Discussion and Analysis report, which is attached, dwells into the performance of each of the business division and the outlook for the current year.

 

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

 

The Watches exports registered a handsome growth of 12% to clock a turnover of Rs.1377.600 Million against a backdrop of several headwinds in international markets. The business sustained its targeted investments in retail and brand building in key, large markets. The presence of Titan in modern retail is adding to both image and business. Entry into In-flight sales through Singapore Airlines paves way for a new route to building the brand. Vietnam, UAE and Malaysia lead the growth stories while Indonesia, Nigeria, Philippines and SAARC markets hold promise for future.

 

FINANCE

 

The Jewellery Division of the Company was successfully operating customer schemes for jewellery purchases for many years. As on1st April 2014, the Company had around seven lakhs subscribers contributing to these schemes. These schemes were not covered under the Companies Act, 1956 relating to acceptance of public deposits as such schemes were exempt from the definition of deposits. However, under the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”) and Regulations made there under (‘Deposit Regulations’) the scope of the term “deposit” has been enlarged and therefore a view has been taken that the jewellery purchase schemes offered by the Company to its customers will be treated as public deposits. In these circumstances, the Company discontinued fresh enrolment of subscribers and initiated steps to close the current customer schemes, which were wound down by 31st August 2014.

 

Under the Deposit Regulations, a company is permitted to accept deposits subject to applicable provisions, to the extent of 25% of the aggregate paid-up share capital and free reserves from public and 10% of the aggregate paid-up share capital and free reserves from Members of the company, after prior approval by way of a Special Resolution passed by the Members in this behalf. In pursuance thereof, a Postal Ballot was conducted during August/September 2014 and requisite approval was obtained from the Members of the Company and a new customer scheme for jewellery purchase was launched in November 2014 in compliance with the Deposit Regulations.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

THE ECONOMY

 

Despite a better economic outlook, the year gone by witnessed lukewarm demand improvement as consumer sentiment did not exactly pick up the way it was expected to. The market saw significant disruption by E commerce players trying to build their share in each category. Regulation of gold imports, funding and sales transactions severely affected the industry despite some marginal roll back. Unemployment, especially of youth continues to affect both demand for youth products and general sentiment amongst families where they are significant wage earners.

GDP growth is expected to increase to 6.3% (as per old CSO workings) in the current fiscal 2015-16 from an estimated GDP growth in 2014-15 of 5.5%. Consumer Price Inflation is falling steadily and is averaging around the 6% mark. RBI reduced rates reflecting its confidence on controlled inflation. Raw material prices have been declining internationally, across most commodities and sectors. This will also put downward pressure on future inflation levels and also shield the Rupee from extreme volatility on account of lower oil prices and hence the Current Account Deficit. Overall Indian consumer confidence has already risen to 125+ levels (Nielsen Survey of Consumer Confidence Index), which is the highest amongst all countries worldwide. This is significantly higher than last year, however lower than the peak Indian consumer confidence levels achieved a decade ago, when the economy was growing at nearly 9%. Growing aspirations and positive sentiment of consumers going forward, basis strong government and good macro-economic indicators such as low inflation and stable rupee are expected to drive discretionary spends up. A large untapped opportunity has emerged in middle India towns (tier 3 & 4) where consumer aspirations are comparable to tier 1 & 2 towns, but access is restricted. This is now being further tapped by the rapid rise in E & M-commerce, fuelled by smart phone penetration.

 

Growing economic independence and rise of working women segment is leading to greater demand for our brands like Tanishq and Raga. Youth segment is large and their aspirations are growing rapidly as well, hence with Fastrack and Sonata Superfibre, the Company is well placed to tap this opportunity.

 

Rising fashion quotient and expressive lifestyles amongst the middle and upper-middle class segments is also a favourable factor for the Company’s products and brands. E-commerce has grown substantially last year backed by an almost endless amount of foreign capital. The Company is seeing this both as an opportunity for its brands to tap a new channel and a potential disruption to the exclusive brick and mortar retail stores.

 

WATCHES & ACCESSORIES DIVISION

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Watches and Accessories Division turned in a reasonably good performance despite a challenging environment. The economy remained sluggish, consumer sentiment was weak, the retail environment remained one where deep discounts were doled out to attract consumers and watches as a category lacked consumer appeal compared to categories like apparel, mobile phones, laptops, etc. In such a scenario, Titan and its portfolio of brands, maintained its market share in the organized watch market recording an overall value growth of 6%.
