ECONOMIC OVERVIEW AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The year 2013-14 was marked by many challenges in the global and domestic business environments. Cyprus bail out, strengthening of US economy, flash floods in Himalayas, Ukraine crisis coupled with weak rupee and higher interest rate levels were some of the key events which unfolded during the year.

 

As per the data from International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economic growth decelerated to 3.0 per cent from 3.2 per cent in the previous year. However, the growth picked up in the second half of 2013, majorly due to sharp increase in performance from advanced economies. The strengthening in activity was mirrored in global trade and industrial production. Major impulse to global growth has come from the United States of America, whose economy grew at 3.25 per cent in the second half of 2013, as per IMF data. In the Euro area also, growth turned positive on the back of supportive monetary conditions and robust labor market conditions. In emerging market economies, an export rebound was the main driver behind better performance, while domestic demand within those emerging economies generally remained subdued, except in China.

 

As per the interim Union Budget announced in February 2014, Indian economy for 2013-14 is expected to grow at 4.9 per cent marginally higher than 4.5 per cent clocked last year. The marginal growth is attributable to the expected 4.6 per cent growth in Agriculture sector, higher than 1.4 per cent growth registered last year. The expansion during the current fiscal year was hurt by contraction in the key sectors- Mining and Manufacturing. While the Mining sector is expected to dip by 1.9 per cent due to delayed approvals and environmental issue, that of Manufacturing sector is likely to drop by 0.2 per cent. This is the first time since 1991-92 that the Manufacturing sector is expected to contract. It is impacted by slowing investments and delayed policy decisions.

 

The service sector, which accounts for nearly 60 per cent of the economy, is expected to grow 6.9 per cent, slightly slower than the previous year’s expansion of 7 per cent.

 

On the financial side, the interest rate for most parts of the year continued to be on the higher side, despite the inflation cooling off during the later parts of the year. The rupee weakened during the first half of the year; however it recovered over the second half. On the fiscal stability front, the country’s fiscal deficit (current account deficit) is expected to improve significantly at 4.6 per cent Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2013-14, on the back of lower gold imports, a moderate pick-up in exports and drop in capital goods import.

 

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

REVENUES

 

The Company’s worldwide revenues grew from last year levels. While revenue from India increased by 11.5 per cent, that from rest of the world increased by 4.3 per cent.

 

Sales of Abrasives and Electrominerals business grew by 6.2 percent and 21.1 per cent respectively and that of Ceramics segment dropped by 5.7 per cent.

 

Capex postponement, moderate customer demand from user industries, competition from low price products, power rate hike and tight liquidity in trade resulted in weak demand.

 

 

On a standalone basis, the Company registered growth on quarter on quarter basis for all the four quarters during the year. Electrominerals led the growth on the back of higher Aluminas business and Abrasives segment had a moderate increase in sales in line with the GDP growth. Ceramics segment de grew on account of a weak Wear Ceramics and Refractories market.

 

 

MANUFACTURING

 

Most of the plants in India, Russia and South Africa ran at about 70 per cent capacity utilisation levels. The manufacturing team used the opportunity to implement Total Productive Maintenanance (TPM) at shop floors leading to maximising efficiency in machines and the entire production process.

 

This year, the Company also had to face input cost pressure in the form of hike in power cost, fuel cost and select raw material inputs in Indian, Russian and South African operations. The cost pressures were contained by way of using alternate cost effective raw materials, improvement in raw material consumption and process improvements.

 

Capital expenditure during the year across all geographies was in the nature of maintenance, automation, quality enhancement, line balancing and general infrastructure.

A team from Maniyar unit, had their contributions in the area of quality recognised by awards from CII, QCFI and participated in the International Quality Circle Convention held at Taipei.

 

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND OPPORTUNITIES

 

According to the World Economic Outlook - April 2014 of the IMF, global economy is expected to improve in 2014-15, with much of the impetus for growth coming from advanced economies. The report forecasts global growth projected to strengthen from 3 per cent in 2013 to 3.6 per cent in 2014 to 3.9 per cent in 2015. In advanced economies, growth is expected to increase to about 2¼ per cent in 2014-15, an improvement of about 1 percentage point compared with 2013. Growth in emerging market and developing economies is expected to increase to 5.1 per cent in 2014 and to 5.4 per cent in 2015.

 

As per the Asian Development Outlook 2014, released on 1st April 2014, GDP of India is forecasted to rise to 5.5 per cent in 2014-15. The reports mention that GDP will improve due to performance of the Industry and Services. However, it will take some time for the Indian economy to reach its potential growth rate of 6%. The report mentions that the Cabinet Committee on Investment’s progress in resolving delays in several large infrastructure projects is likely to provide traction in raising investment. Though India has been seeing a muted growth over the last two years, the long term growth opportunities for the country continue to appear positive. India’s economic outlook for 2014-15 looks better than the last fiscal year due to resurgence in exports, global economic revival and moderation in inflation. Currency depreciation is also expected to increase competitiveness and bolster external demand. However, the economy will not reach its potential until structural bottlenecks, that have impeded industry and investment are overcome. The new government’s economic program after elections, including its first budget due in July 2014, will be largely determined by the party that wins the elections.

 

A revival in domestic growth would result in kick starting several postponed projects in Steel, Power, Glass, Cement, Insulation and General Engineering industry which would help the Company to register a good growth. Considering the country’s facilities are majorly confined to RICSA (Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries, it gives the Company necessary positioning to leverage the benefits of any uptrend in these economies.

 

However, given the uncertain outlook, the Company will pursue growth with caution. Efforts will be taken to control costs. Considering that the plants are running at lower utilisation levels and the fact that facilities have been expanded over the last years, the Company would invest majorly in maintenance capex. With this approach, it is expected that the Company would deliver better results in the next year.

 

 

EXPORTS

 

As a result of the market downturn in the served international markets, export revenues were Rs. 2091.000 millions as against Rs. 2244.000 millions in the previous year.

 

Overseas revenues of Abrasives business grew by 20% compared to the previous year. Visits from major distributors and customers of Abrasives to the manufacturing facilities added confidence on their supply and quality capabilities. The business continues to focus on servicing of project orders from key global players, product specific approach for select geographies and lateral deployment of products in SAARC and South East Asian countries.

 

The Electrominerals business focused its efforts to obtain customer acceptance for alternative applications for Silicon Carbide micro grits other than photovoltaic application like semi-conductor applications, which resulted in commercial sales and also getting customer approvals / evaluations. Setting up of a distribution point and channel partners for the European and US markets are expected to promote applications of specialty products offered by the Electrominerals business.

 

Strategic partnerships for promoting the Ceramics products for the Glass Industry and specialised alloys market are expected to yield more orders in future.

 

Efforts to open new customer accounts and to enter into new export markets yielded encouraging results. Relationship with existing customers was strengthened with repeat orders from several customers. Product approvals have also been received from a few prospective customers which is expected to translate into order inflow in future.

 

Overseas subsidiaries played a critical role in garnering orders for several key product segments and supplemented the Company’s efforts in its foray into new markets. The marketing structure and distribution process of the Chinese subsidiary has been restructured and is expected to yield significant growth opportunities, going forward.

 

The Company continued to adopt country specific strategies for market entry and development, nurture strategic relationships with large volume buyers and foster customer intimacy by customising products to meet their specific requirements. The various approaches adopted during the current year will continue to be pursued next year to increase export sales.
