PERFORMANCE

 

As per provisions of revised Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956, during the year the Company has faced a 3.44% decrease in gross sales of products at Rs.7416.188 Million as compared to Rs. 7680.120 Million of previous year and total income decreased by 3.86% from Rs.7296.462 Million to Rs. 7011.504 Million. The Profit before tax is Rs. 43.196 Million in the current year compared to the loss of Rs.38.727 Million of the previous year. The profit after tax is Rs.48.899 Million in 2013-14 compared to Rs.0.354 Million in 2012-13.

 

OPERATIONS:

 

This fiscal year was demanding from an operational perspective. The new foam plant at Jhagadia was integrated into operations and yields were improved. The new Fecken Kirfel Looper for manufacturing peeled foam for automotive and shoe applications was also commissioned during the year. They are also nearing project completion for the IPF bulk handling unit at the Jhagadia plant which will enable us to handle ultra-long length 30 meter PU foam blocks automatically and improve yield. This handling unit is expected to be commissioned in August 2014.

 

Product development efforts are underway in PU to provide both a peeled foam range as well as provide commodity foam which caters to the commodity end of the market. We are currently not represented in both these markets. They plan to have a wider basket of products available in PU foam for the next financial year. Sales focus in this category was on margins. Un-remunerative sales avenues which were not margin accretive were not pursued as a strategy.

 

In mattresses Kurlon continued to expand its product portfolio by introducing new products .e.g, Teensy a sandwich foam mattress was successfully launched and is gaining acceptance. Additional Product improvements and modifications were carried out across a range of products. Quality improvement initiatives were carried out in all the plants and across the range of mattresses based on analysis of warranty claims and feedback from the sales organization.

 

RETAIL OPERATIONS:

 

The retail division had achieved another mile stone by designing and building 137 operational stores till March 2014.

 

Efforts were focused in Retail operations to improve the economics of these outlets by further enhancing the exclusive product range they have through the introduction of mattress protectors as a new category.

 

Vigorous BTL activities and local advertising support were provided to these outlets to drive more footfalls through these stores.

 

A small store format for Tier 2 and 3 towns was planned and worked out keeping in mind the economics and logistics challenges of smaller markets. They will be pleased to note that the first such stores are planned to be launched in Aug 2014.

 

The current store count as on June 30th has gone up to 161 stores.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The industry outlook, barring any lagged impact of a poor monsoon seems to be improving in both the major segments of mattress and PU foam that we operate in. They expect a 5-6% volume growth in both categories in the coming year.

 

In order to cater to this increasing demand, the company is focused on emerging opportunities and is taking several steps to increase its share. In mattresses they have changed our organizational sales structure from 4 Zones to 10 regions to provide better focus. In addition they are in the process of creating a small and dedicated team to address the Hotel and Hospitality Industry segment in which they are inadequately represented. Efforts are also on to be a preferred supplier to large International retailers which are entering the country.

 

For the PU segment, they now have a wider range of products which will enable us to address markets which they were unable to do so earlier. Additionally we are strengthening the distributor network in unrepresented geographies as well as strengthening the PU Foam Business, technical and sales teams through hiring external talent.

 

 

The Company has been awarded by many reputed organisation as detailed under:

 

· After trending the Indian Coir Industry for years, Kurlon re-asserts its ascendency by winning the award in Domestic Market Development of Rubberized Coir Products for the 17th year and the Export Performance Award

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Indian Economy and Global Markets:

 

In 2013, India’s economic growth continued to be slow at 4.9% the stock markets mirrored the weak economic conditions towards the end of the financial year 2013-14. With signs of a possible political change, the dark clouds

seem to be lifting with hopes of improved growth on the horizon. They hope 2014-15 offers a improved growth and business environment

 

Industry Structure and Development:

 

The company is not only the largest mattress manufacturer and marketer in India, but also a key player in the furniture, furnishings and commercial foam. Traditionally, Indian branded mattress market has been dominated by

rubberized coir and foam mattresses, but recent trends also indicate a fast continuing preference for spring mattresses.

 

It is estimated that both the mattress and foam markets will grow at 5 to 6% per annum in quantity terms in 2013-14 with a correspondingly larger growth rate in value terms depending on inflation in raw material costs. They plan to grow at a higher rate than the industry growth rate and to further enhance their market share in the segments that we operate in.

 

The company has continued to expand the range of its mattress products and the reach of its distribution. Their dealer network is now in excess of 7000 dealers and exclusive Kurlon stores were 131 as on 31st March.

 

With regards to commercial foam, the current annual production in India is in the 130,000 to 140,000 MT per annum range. The company retained its position as the second largest player in this space. Per capita consumption of PU foam in India is continuing to grow but is about 20% of the global average, offering large headroom for growth.

 

 

MATTRESSES:

 

Rubberised Coir Mattress Market

 

As a category this segment is shrinking as preferences change toward spring and foam mattresses categories. With focus and new products in this category this trend has been slowed as they have been able to offer more variety and better features in the RC mattress products.

 

Spring Mattress Market

 

The spring mattress market has seen exponential growth which is fuelled by changes in customer expectation, experience and affordability. They have understood these changes and expanded their manufacturing capabilities to cater to this demand. They are in the process of launching new mattress to have complete coverage of all consumers in this segment.

 

Foam mattresses

They have again augmented our products and focused on increasing their presence in the predominantly foam markets of West and North India. This has started to show good results.

 

FURNITURE AND FURNISHING:

 

Furniture industry as a whole is managed by unorganized sector of carpenters. 85% of the total market requirement is managed by them on a very local and customized basis. There are very few companies who are trying to give this industry a shape of organized structured business. Furniture is an integral part of any house and the business is in line with their current business of mattresses. They continue to see a great opportunity to explore this market. They have tied up some OEM arrangements to supply to large companies to improve our capacity utilization. They are in the process of talking to some more OEM?s and the prospects of additional tie ups are bright.

 

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

 

Distribution expansion in geographic areas with low or no market share. Profitable Expansion of franchisee model of business and providing exclusive range of products for KMXs to maintain exclusivity.
