BUSINESS:

 

Operational Revenue and Profits – During the financial year ended 31st March 2014, the operational revenue of the company on a Standalone basis increased to Rs. 3490.600 million from Rs. 3158.400 million (Net of Excise duty for both years to Rs. 3485.100 million from Rs. 3076.300 million, i.e. an increase of Rs. 408.800 million i.e. 13.28%) Profit Before Tax was Rs. 221.700 million vs. Rs.159.800 million in the previous year, while the net Profit After Tax for the financial year ended 31st March 2014 was Rs. 149.300 million vs. Rs.110.500 million in the previous year.

 

 

OPERATIONAL REVENUE AND PROFITS:

 

They are pleased to inform you that during the financial year ended 31st March 2014, the operational revenue grew from Rs.3076.300 million to Rs.3485.100 million, an increase of 13.29%. The Profit Before Tax was Rs. 221.700 million vs Rs. 159.800 million, and the Profit After Tax was Rs.149.300 million vs Rs. 110.600 million, all of which show a healthy increase. This is despite higher provision for Tax (Rs.72.400 million vs Rs. 49.200 million). The position on a consolidated basis shows similar improvement. The interest cost rose marginally as a percentage of revenue from 0.53% to 0.66%, largely because the company’s policy is to hedge all its Forex borrowings (that are not related to exports), the cost of which rose in tandem with the rates of interest prevalent in certain assumptions and expectations of future events. Actual results could, however, differ materially from those express or implied. Important factors that could make a difference to the company’s operation include global demand-supply conditions, finished goods prices, raw materials cost and availability, changes in Government regulations and tax structure, economic development within India and the countries with which India. When compared to most listed companies it is significantly lower.

 

 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

OVERVIEW:

 

Because of the economic, political and social turbulence during the year, the demand situation for the branded clothing industry in India continued to be most volatile, with the first two quarters showing healthy growth; however, the third and fourth quarters showed large swings, resulting in the year ending with double-digit growth, which could otherwise have been even higher.

 

The industry continues to be in distress due to inventories built in anticipation of the growth witnessed in the first two quarters continuing, or increasing further during the festive season, which did not hold true to promise Because of this, the industry had to continue its policy of luring customers with freebies, discounting, etc. Those companies who lured customers thus, were able to show slightly higher growth than the brands from the House of Zodiac, which does not discount/offer freebies or soft terms, because they believe the consumer will spend on brands which fulfill his aspirations.

 

Projections by several respected entities show that the consumer sentiment is poised to turn positive due to there being a stable Government strongly committed to address the country’s problems, particularly the economic malaise. More decisiveness in Government policy formulation, as well as greater efficiency in its execution would work wonders. With the Current Account Deficit and Fiscal Deficit having fallen from their alarming levels, hopefully the new Government would be able to consolidate these gains further. There is widespread anticipation of a revival of demand due to the “feel good” factor, which would trigger the cycle of higher growth in investment, manufacturing, etc., resulting in the return to sustained, balanced growth in the country’s GDP.

 

The evolution of organized retail in India, notwithstanding the open position with regard to 100% FDI in multiband retail, continue apace. There is a consequential impact of this on independent retailers as well, some of whom are turning increasingly professional in their approach.

 

For the branded business to grow at a healthy pace (it seems as though consumer demand could be unleashed in the near future) will need even stronger growth in organized retail, which can happen only with the availability of real estate at international pricing on commercially fair terms, which is not the case today. Besides, there is an unhealthy, growing trend with most mall developers to reserve their ground floor shops for so called “foreign” brands, (some of which are fifth rate) and relegate Indian brands to locations on higher floors where only 40% of the consumers entering the mall reach. Often, commercial terms also are heavily slanted in favor of foreign brands. It is indeed a national shame that Indian brands are being treated in this unfair manner, which needs immediate corrective action.

 

GST, which is eagerly awaited across industries has yet to be rolled out.

 

Internationally, in the largest single market, i.e. the EU, there are early signs of small improvement, though this has yet to gain momentum. The UK seems to be, along with Germany, on a more strident path to recovery. In the

US, contrary to the rhetoric one encounters in the media, the market is stable with nominal growth in retail sales.

 

Some of India’s competitor countries in clothing export viz. Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar, as well as China, have been under pressure for varying reasons. In Bangladesh the several accidents of 2013 established that on safety requirements Bangladesh has been thoroughly negligent, besides not being compliant with other standards required by international buyers. There was labor unrest due to this, as well as due to their struggle for higher wages (which were eventually increased in November 2013 to US$ 60/- per month from US$ 33/- per month). Similarly, there has been labor unrest in Myanmar for a living wage. In Vietnam, because of problems with China over disputed territorial waters in the south China Sea, several Chinese-owned factories were destroyed in the resultant protests in Vietnam. The situation in China continues in the direction of diversion of production increasingly to their internal market, and paucity of workers willing to work in the industry. All this, coupled with the relatively weaker Rupee (which ended the financial year a tad below `60/- per US$), has driven the importing countries to turn to India for stability, compliant production facilities and dependable deliveries.

 

The export of clothing from India ended the year at US$ 14.7 billion, i.e. growth of approximately 8%. The other encouraging trend was that the dominance of the EU and the US in the import of clothing from India has been diluted considerably, with India’s exports to other markets having increased notably as a share of pie. India achieved 3.7% of world trade of clothing during the financial year.

 

The export of clothing from India, even if it grew at a conservative pace of 15% CAGR, could cross over US$ 60 billion within the next decade. In fact, with a stable Government in place, if India’s weaknesses are addressed swiftly, and the strengths the country has are unleashed, the export could grow at a faster rate of CAGR than 15% and perhaps, even cross US$ 100 billion in the next decade. This, of course, will require Government and industry to work in unison to sharpen India’s competitiveness.

 

Some of the benefits Bangladesh enjoys are preferential tariffs, ease of import of raw material (i.e. fabric and accessories) with no licensing, fast track custom clearance, no obligation to show voluminous proof at multiple points that the raw materials imported have, in fact, been converted into clothing and exported, no levy of taxes like octopi, sales tax, excise duty (which, in India, are never fully reimbursed by duty drawback, which also is paid with huge delays and often not paid in full); higher productivity, simple labor laws (often woefully inadequate) and no perverse/draconian enforcement of laws by rent-seeking officialdom: industry-friendly project licensing with swift single point clearances (Bangladesh ranks higher than India in the Ease of Doing Business Index (World Bank-June 2013), cost of funds at international pricing available on tap and not adding to the complexity of multiple laws by introduction of laws, which are not fully thought out(like the Companies Act, 2013 in India). In India, a lot of these can be addressed forthwith, while rectifying infrastructural disabilities would take a little longer. The industry will also need Government policy to be announced well in time, as clothing sales contracts are signed several months forward.

 

While exchange rates can largely be hedged forward, delays in renewal of Special Focus Market Scheme and Market-Linked Focus Product Scrip (which lapsed at the close of the financial year and have not yet been renewed), are highly detrimental. Meanwhile, the Rupee has strengthened and an early announcement of the continuance of this Scheme is vital to see that the momentum gained in recent months is not lost.

 

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

While the situation in the two large markets is yet to offer the possibility of substantial growth, India has gained by virtue of market share conceded by competing countries in those markets. While the industry has captured some of the opportunities presented by new markets such as the Middle East and Latin America, only a small beginning has been made. India needs to consolidate its feeble gains into a truly dominant position, as had been achieved by China a decade ago. There is no other country in the world (besides India and China), which has the complete textile chain from fiber to fashion, and this advantage has to be harvested fully. They have lost WO major opportunities for quantum growth during the last decade, and it is imperative this opportunity is not lost as well.

 

While India cannot compete with low-wage countries (with human rights/safety violations and unfair labor practices) huge productivity gains are possible. Combined with favourable tariffs in the importing countries (which

Must be locked up post haste), India’s textile industry has to step up its pace of modernization to be able to cater to the increased demand from the clothing industry with world class quality of fabric at internationally competitive pricing. Besides, the licensing procedure, i.e. Advance License, has to be scrapped, and the processes followed by competitor countries (where despite there being no licensing for import of raw material, there is an adequate, painless process in place to eliminate malpractices), has to be replicated.

 

The “export” of India’s taxes needs to be eliminated. A mechanism to fully insulate the exporter of the need to first pay taxes and then claim reimbursement, and wait months to receive an inadequate refund, needs to be put in place forthwith. Alternatively, if payment of taxes cannot be eliminated in the first instance, a seamless disbursement of drawback in full, of all taxes paid - Central as well as State - in a time-bound manner (without arbitrary deductions and without needless Correspondence claiming repayment of drawback disbursed on frivolous grounds), must be prioritized.

 

The clarification with regard to non-deduction of TDS on commission on export sales paid to a person not resident in India, is still to be notified. This has caused severe hardship in terms of litigation, increased costs and loss of liquidity pending conclusion of litigation. This is a national waste.

 

The way forward clearly is to achieve (a) reduction in cost and (b) increase in unit value realization in Phase I, and time to market/transit time from India in Phase II. Cost Audit required by companies with a turnover of over Rs. 1000.000 Million (US$ 16 million) is something which needs to be done away with if they have to look at achieving US$ 60 – 100 billion exports from the clothing industry. One looks forward to expeditious action on this from the Government.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

The benefit of a stable Government after 3 decades has rightly evoked a “feel good” factor across industries. One looks forward to a strong Government being able to negotiate favourable tariffs for the export of clothing audit (conducted by KPMG), which is regularly subjected to in-depth involvement of the management and monitored by the Audit Committee of the Board. Internal Audit covers the various functions, processes and other activities, including own retail operations of the company. Transactions are authorized, recorded and reported accurately and subjected to audit as well. The system of internal controls also ensures that all assets are safeguarded, insured and protected against loss.
