CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Subject is a Company registered under the Indian Companies Act, 1913. The Company along with its Subsidiary (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Blue Star Group” or “the Group”), along with its Joint Ventures and its Associate is primarily engaged in the business of central air conditioning and commercial refrigeration, plumbing and firefighting, varied IT services and into distribution and maintenance of imported professional electronics and industrial systems.

 

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

 

Total Revenue of the Company increased by 10% to Rs. 30909.400 Million during the year under review. Better control of input costs and expenses enabled Profit from operations before Other Income, Financing Costs and Exceptional Items to go up by 16% to Rs.1342.500 Million from Rs.1159.900 Million in the previous year.

 

Segment-wise performance showed a mixed picture. Revenue from Electro Mechanical Projects and Packaged Air-conditioning Systems remained virtually stagnant at Rs.16024.100 Million due to prolonged sluggishness in the projects business. This led to a decline in the Segment Result to Rs.647.100 Million

 

The decline was more than made up by 24% growth in revenue in Cooling Products from Rs.10768.100 Million to 13317.200 Million. Cooling Products’ results climbed by 55% from Rs.947.700 Million to Rs. 1468.300 Million, which is a significant achievement. Professional Electronics and Industrial Systems’ revenues grew by 18% from Rs.1240.400 Million to Rs. 1466.600 Million, while results increased from Rs.217.500 Million to Rs. 31.20 Million, a growth of 43%.

 

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE

 

Blue Star is India’s leading air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration company with over seven decades of experience in providing expert cooling solutions. It fulfills the cooling requirements of a large number of corporate, commercial as well as residential customers. It also offers expertise in allied contracting activities such as electrical, plumbing and fire-fighting services, in order to offer turnkey solutions, apart from execution of specialized industrial projects. Blue Star’s other businesses include marketing and maintenance of imported professional electronics and industrial products and systems. This business stands transferred to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company called Blue Star Engineering & Electronics Limited, with effect from March 31, 2015.

 

Blue Star’s integrated business model of a Manufacturer; Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) solutions provider; and After-sales service provider enables it to offer an end-to-end solution to its customers, which has proved to be a significant differentiator in the market place. The Company’s credentials and unmatched expertise help it to enjoy a preferred partnership status with most of corporate and commercial India. In fact, every third commercial building in the country has a Blue Star product installed. Blue Star has over 300 large National Account customers who award significant repeat orders to the Company on a regular basis. Blue Star also entered the residential segment a few years ago and has made deep inroads in the segment with a market share of 9.5%. It has an installed base of over a million units of room air conditioners. Blue Star products are now sold by over 2000 dealers, and are available in 3500 outlets in more than 650 towns across the country. Blue Star is also the largest after-sales AC&R service provider in India, maintaining around 2 million TR of equipment and handling over 1 million service calls a year. The Company has a manufacturing footprint of about 1 lakh sq m, manufacturing over 300 models across 25 product lines worth `1500 crores every year. There are about 2500 direct employees and over 20,000 indirect employees engaged in Blue Star’s activities with around 20,000 man days of training imparted each year.

 

With the economic climate showing signs of improvement, the Company anticipates significant growth opportunities in the long-term and is preparing for the future. Increase in disposable income of the burgeoning middle class is likely to boost several sectors in the commercial space. Increase in capex spends by companies will improve office expansion as well as industrial and infrastructure spends. Moreover, the penetration of room air conditioners in the residential market is a mere 3%, and given the harsh climate, especially during the summer season, coupled with enhanced affordability of consumers, this segment is expected to grow notably in the future. As regards to commercial refrigeration, considering that post-harvest losses in the country are extensive, coupled with food scarcity and population expansion, food preservation is of utmost importance. Thus, the demand for cold chain and other commercial refrigeration products is anticipated to be sizeable. Blue Star’s strong brand equity, credentials and unmatched expertise will enable it to leverage the exciting growth prospects.

 

Blue Star, being a leader in the air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration industry, is conscious about the fact that it has to be a trendsetter in areas related to sustainability and climate change. Climate change and global warming are a serious concern and a growing threat to the world’s ecosystem, and given India’s large population, the country has a critical part to play in taking initiatives to reduce power consumption and using non-ozone depleting refrigerants with low global warming potential. The Company’s mainstay of product development and R&D has been energy efficiency, coupled with eco-friendly and sustainable products.

 

The Company is also preparing to rationalize its manufacturing footprint vide a focused exercise which will involve demand assessment, revalidation of make/buy strategy and manufacturing capability assessment to ensure that Blue Star is future ready.

 

In the contracting business, the Indian economy is showing signs of improvement and the macroeconomic indicators are encouraging. The Company expects a revival of the commercial construction cycle in the near-term, which will give it the much needed impetus in the electro mechanical contracting space. The trend of combining multiple MEP services (HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire-fighting and Low Voltage systems) is gaining acceptance in the country. While the contracting space in India is rapidly changing and the customer needs are far more challenging, Blue Star has built its capabilities in MEP contracting in a systematic way, through a judicious mix of acquisitions and capability building. Recently, it appointed The Boston Consulting Group to develop a strategy and action plan for profitable growth of its projects business. The key objectives included identification of attractive customer segments, acquiring higher share of business from target customer segments, and developing a best-in-class delivery model. The strategic review has been completed and the key elements of the business growth strategy have been identified. These include internal reorganization to better serve the integrated MEP requirements in the market; focusing on profitable market segments; and investing in building stronger engineering capabilities as well as in offering design-build solutions. The Company has identified multiple initiatives for stronger project management and procurement practices and plans to institutionalize modern site practices based on manufacturing principles to ensure a differentiated delivery experience. It will also IT enable its business processes while judiciously investing in construction technologies with the objective of driving productivity and consistency in its deliverables.

 

While Blue Star has done exceedingly well in the domestic business with its integrated model of a Manufacturer, EPC solutions provider and After-sales service provider, it is now keen on aggressively expanding its international footprint by taking forward these unique capabilities globally. It is in the process of identifying new opportunities for its air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration products, MEP projects, after-sales service and system integration in global markets. The markets identified are Middle East, North Africa, SAARC and ASEAN regions and as the business matures, more markets will be added. This initiative would help in significantly enhancing the Blue Star brand beyond India, while providing growth opportunities for its businesses, and will go a long way in establishing Blue Star as a true global player.

 

 

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

In accordance with the nature of products and markets addressed, business drivers, and competitive positioning, the lines of business of Blue Star can be segmented as follows:

 

 

ELECTRO MECHANICAL PROJECTS AND PACKAGED AIRCONDITIONING SYSTEMS

This business segment covers the design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and maintenance of central air-conditioning plants, packaged/ducted systems and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, as well as contracting services in electrification, plumbing and fire-fighting. After-sales services such as revamp, retrofit and upgrades also form part of this segment.

 

COOLING PRODUCTS

Blue Star offers a wide variety of stylish, contemporary and energy-efficient room airconditioners for both residential as well as commercial applications. It also manufactures and markets a comprehensive range of commercial refrigeration products and cold chain equipment.

 

PROFESSIONAL ELECTRONICS AND INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

For over six decades, Blue Star has been the exclusive distributor in India for many internationally renowned manufacturers of professional electronic equipment and services, as well as industrial products and systems. This business is managed by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Star Engineering and Electronics Limited

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

AIRCONDITIONING

In 2014-15, the estimated total market size for air-conditioning in India was around Rs. 147500.000 Million. Of this, the market for central air-conditioning, including central plants, packaged/ducted systems, VRF systems and other ancillary equipment, was about Rs. 57500.000 Million, while the market for room air conditioners comprised the balance Rs. 90000.000 Million

During the year, though the macroeconomic indicators were positive and the environment improved, the corporate and commercial market continued to be sluggish as the revival of the commercial construction cycle is taking longer than expected. Segments such as integrated commercial complexes, power and utility, and healthcare witnessed some demand during the year under review.

 

On the other hand, the room air conditioners market grew significantly, driven by the residential business. The increase in disposable incomes of the growing middle-class consumers, enhanced demand from Tier 3/4/5 markets as well as an extended summer in several parts of the country contributed to growth during the review period. Further, steady foreign exchange rates as well as commodity prices ensured that the prices were stable.

COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION

The commercial refrigeration segment includes a wide range of products such as deep freezers, water coolers, bottled water dispensers, cold rooms, bottle coolers and ice cubers. Rapid changes in consumption patterns of the new and aware consumer fuelled by modern trade, along with the growing food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries are contributing to the growth in this segment.

 

During the year, the commercial refrigeration market grew well with demand from the ice cream, quick service restaurants and the pharmaceutical segments. Many initiatives are being undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries and various State Governments, in co-ordination with industry bodies such as CII to reduce wastage and loss of value of perishables, thereby containing food inflation. These initiatives are expected to significantly enhance demand for cold chain equipment in the country.
