MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2013-2014

 

Industry Overview

 

The year 2013-14 marked a subtle turnaround in the fortunes of the global economy. Europe witnesses greater financial stability and there were signs of revival in a number of its constituent nations, led by Germany and U.K.

 

The U.S. too saw better employment numbers and an improvement in its growth prospects which prompted its leaders to consider withdrawing the easy money policies that bolstered the economy. Emerging markets, however, experienced some deceleration in their growth.

 

On the domestic front, the economy seems to have finally bottomed out. After dipping to 4.5% during the previous year, GDP growth recovered to grow at 4.9%, largely due to revival in agriculture growth. However, the volatile rupee, stubborn inflation and stagnant industrial production continued to be a drag on the economy. Looking ahead, there are indications of a turnaround on account of better global growth, an improvement in export competitiveness and the implementation of recently approved investment projects. Additionally, the formation of a strong and stable government at the Centre is expected to augur well for India's economy due to speedier implementation of progressive policies.

 

Until now, stagnant domestic growth hurt consumer sentiments which were reflected in subdued demand and consumption. Further, the inflationary impact on raw material prices, largely due to the depreciation in Rupee, led to frequent price increases. Domestic demand for the Company's product was comparatively although not as good as expected. Demand from the export region was relatively better and encouraging than the domestic region which remained stagnant.

 

At the international business level, despite a persistently challenging global environment, some markets where the Company operates showed sign of recovery. A tight Control on expenses and lower raw material inflation helped the international operations of the Company to deliver a strong performance despite difficult market conditions.

 

India has become the second best in terms of growth amongst the top ten steel producing countries in the world and a net exporter of steel during 2013–14. Steel production in India recorded a growth rate of 4.8 per cent in February, 2014 over February, 2013. The cumulative growth during April–February, 2013–14 stood at 4.2 per cent over the corresponding period of the previous year.

 

Steel contributes to nearly two per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) and employs over 500,000 people.

The total market value of the Indian steel sector stood at US$ 57.8 billion in 2011 and is expected to touch US$ 95.3 billion by 2016. The infrastructure sector is India's largest steel consumer, thereby attracting investments from several global players. Owing to this connection with core infrastructure segments of the economy, the steel industry is of high priority right now. Also, steel demand is derived from other sectors like automobiles, consumer durables and infrastructure; therefore, its fortune is dependent on the growth of these user industries. Steel castings Industry is considered to be the backbone of engineering industry serving Automotive, Agricultural, Mining and Earthmoving Equipment Industry and almost all downstream engineering industry. The FY 2013-14 was challenging with lower growth in industrial production mainly due to continuing high rate of inflation and depreciation of the rupee. These factors had an adverse impact on the economy resulting in lower GDP growth rate. Rising input costs, slow pace of industrial production, infrastructure development and the impact of global slowdown constrained the performance of the industry. All most all sectors registered lower growth rate during FY 2013-14. Hence, it affects Steel industry as well. The Indian steel industry is largely iron-based through the blast furnace (BF) or the direct reduced iron (DRI) route. Indian steel industry is highly consolidated. About 60% of the crude steel capacity is resident with

 

Integrated Steel Producers (ISP). But the changing ratio of hot metal to crude steel production indicates the increasing presence of secondary steel producers (non-integrated steel producers) manufacturing steel through scrap route, enhancing their dependence on imported raw material.

 

With urban population increasing globally, there is a greater need for steel to build public-transport infrastructure. Emerging economies will also continue to be a major driver of demand as these necessitate a huge amount of steel for urbanisation and industrialisation. The sector is expected to see an investment to the tune of about Rs. 2 trillion (US$ 33.06 billion) in the coming years.

 

India's rank in the world order of steel production remained unchanged at fourth slot with an output of 81.2 million tonnes, despite logging the highest growth of 5.05% among major producing nations in 2013.

 

There was no change in the top three steel producing nations with China, Japan and the US retaining their slots in the respective order in 2013, World Steel Association (WSA) data revealed.

Industrial Structure

 

Indian iron and steel industry can be divided into two main sectors Public Sectors and Private Sectors. Further on the basis of routes of production, the Indian industry can be divided into two types of producers. Integrated producers: Integrated producers are those that can convert iron ore into steel; Secondary producers: Secondary producers are the mini steel plants which make steel by melting scrap or sponge iron or a mixture of the two.

 

There are currently 100 small and medium scale units and 4 to 5 organised units engaged in manufacturing of stainless steel welded, seamless pipes and tubes. The domestic demand presently for stainless steel welded pipes and a tube is about 1,00,000 MT which is expected to increase up to 2,75,000 MT by the year 2015/16. The top players globally in this segment are Valtimet/ Tubacex/ Centravis. Company specialises in meeting specific requirements of customers and offers complete solution for stainless steel welded and seamless pipes and tubes. The type of product varied based on the type, shape and size of the same some of which are as listed below:

 

• S.S. Welded Tubes

• S.S. Welded Pipes

• S.S. EFW Pipes

• S.S. Seamless Tubes

• S.S. Seamless Pipes

• Square Tubes

• U Bend Tubing

• S.S. Seamless Mother Hollows

 

Subsidiaries and Strategic Alliance

 

During the year the Company has incorporated its wholly-owned subsidiary, “Pioneer Stainless and Alloys, FZC” at Ajmen Free Zone, Dubai U.A.E with an object of import and export of Steel and Basic Steel products to Asian and European countries.

 

During the year the Company embarked on a new journey by expanding its business activities in one more stream, by making a Strategic Alliance with M/s. Karagwal Developers Private Limited for developing its idle land located at Taluka Umbergaon, Village Palgam, District Valsad, Gujarat. Under the said Strategic Alliance the Company has introduced “Krishna Industrial Park”, where the Company has built industrial plots for factories, warehouses, workshops, service stations, etc. It is the ideal destination to set-up small and medium-sized enterprises like textile industries, stainless steel industries, manufacturing units, automobile industries, food and agriculture industries, mineral industries, cold storage, warehouse, etc. with world-class infrastructure facilities.

 

Outlook

 

The outlook for the Company's Business in future is very good. The Management expects CAGR of over 30% during next five years. The Government of India has allowed 100 per cent FDI through the automatic route in the Indian steel sector. It has significantly reduced the duty payable on finished steel products and has streamlined the associated approval process. The demand for steel is increasing and the prices have also firmed up during the year under report. The increase in steelmaking capacity by the Company will be absorbed by the increasing demand for steel products. India's growth story was, till recently, quite attractive in comparison with many other developed and developing economies. Reforms in global economy indicate positive signal for overseas market.

PRAKASH STEELAGE HIVES OFF TUBE DIVISION INTO JV WITH SPANISH CO

 

MUMBAI, FEBRUARY 16:   Prakash Steelage has spun off its seamless stainless steel tube division into a separate entity to form a joint venture with Spain-based Tubacex. The Spanish company will pay Rs. 2500.000 Million to the Prakash Steelage for its 68 per cent equity stake in the new entity yet to be named. Of the total sum, Prakash Steelage will use Rs. 2000.000 Million to partly pay Rs. 3400.000 Million debt at the parent company level.

 

 

NEW PRODUCTS

 

The rest of the money will be utilized to bring in new products and technology at the joint venture company. Being listed on NSE and BSE, Prakash Steel age has to seek shareholders’ approval on the proposal. Speaking to media Ashok M Seth, Executive Director, Prakash Steel age, said the deal would benefit the shareholders indirectly as the debt level would come down substantially and also benefit from the dividend to the extent of its 32 per cent holding in the subsidiary company. “Tubacex would be able to bring in its global technology and tap the market demand emanating from sectors such as oil and gas and energy, including nuclear power,” he added.

 

 

Money matters 

 

Prakash generates a revenue of Rs. 1750.000 Million from the seamless steel tube business with production capacity of 10,000 tonnes per annum while the other two legs of business — steel trading and manufacturing — account for Rs. 8250.000 Million. Listed on Spanish Stock Exchange since 1970, Tubacex is a global leader in niche stainless steel and high-alloyed seamless tubes and annual sales turnover of €700 million. It has production facility in Spain, Austria, China, Italy and United States and service centers in Brazil, France and Houston. Jesus Esmoris, Chief Executive Officer, Tubacex South Asia said the company intends to double the capacity in the joint venture to 20,000 tonnes in two years. “India imports about 60 per cent of the specialty seamless steel products requirement from various countries. From Spain we export steel worth about Rs. 650.000 Million to India and this joint venture would help us to tap the market more efficiently,” he said.
