FINANCIAL RESULTS
During the year,
the Company’s total income increased by around 9.14% to Rs. 1471.400 Million
from Rs.1348.200 Million in the previous year. There was an increase of 5% in
total tyre production in all segments. The major factors affecting the
performance of the Indian tyre industry are the sluggish growth of the economy,
interest rates, fuel prices, natural rubber prices and import duty on rubber.
In the year prices of natural rubber and fuel prices have softened. However,
this benefit got partly offset by increase in overheads like wages, freight
etc. This apart, the Company could achieve improved results, due to improved operating
efficiencies and cost reduction measures which the Company has undertaken over
a period of time.
Two interim
dividends of Rs.3 each per share (30% each) for the year ended 30th September,
2014 were declared by the Board of Directors on 23.07.2014 and on 30.10.2014.
The Board of Directors is now pleased to recommend a final dividend of Rs. 44
per share (440%) on the paid-up equity share capital of the Company, for
consideration and approval of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
With this, the total dividend for the entire year works out to Rs.50 per share
(500%). The total amount of dividends aggregates to Rs. 212.000 Million.
The Directors
recommend that after making provision for taxation, debenture redemption
reserve and proposed dividend, an amount of Rs.8659.900 Million be transferred
to general reserve. With this, the Company’s Reserves and Surplus stands at
Rs.45134.000 Million.
CORPORATE
GOVERNANCE
In
accordance with Clause 49 of the listing agreement with the stock exchanges, a
separate report on corporate governance along with the Auditors’ certificate
confirming compliance is attached to this report. The Chairman & Managing
Director has confirmed and declared that all the members of the Board and the
senior management have affirmed compliance with the code of conduct.
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(Within
the limits set by the Company’s competitive position) The core business of MRF
is manufacturing, distribution and sale of tyres for various kinds of vehicles.
The management discussion and analysis given below discusses the key issues for
various sectors of the business.
TYRE INDUSTRY
STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT
The
Indian economy had a challenging year in fiscal 2013-14, ending with an annual
growth rate of around 4.7%, fractionally higher than in the previous year. The
growth was subdued because of poor performance of the mining, manufacturing,
construction, trade, hotels, and transport, storage and communication services
sectors. According to CMIE, the growth in India’s real GDP is expected to
improve to 5.5% in 2014-15 with the Industrial sector projected to show an
acceleration. Investment demand in India is likely to pick up gradually in
2014-15 as more projects are cleared and land acquisition process becomes easier
post implementation of the new land acquisition act. Fast tracking of new
projects is expected to boost construction activity, generate new employment
and create fresh demand for cement, steel and machinery. Consequently, this is
expected in turn, to boost demand for the automotive sector especially for
commercial vehicles. Since the demand for tyres as a category is a function of
the overall growth of the economy, particularly growth in the automotive and
transportation sectors, this augurs well for the tyre industry in the new
fiscal.
The
turnover of the Indian tyre industry is estimated to be around Rs.470000.000
Million in 2013-14 and is dominated largely by the commercial vehicle segment
consisting of heavy, light and small commercial vehicles. The next largest
segment is passenger vehicles constituted by cars, SUV’s, motorcycles and
scooters. The Farm and Off the Road (OTR) segments consisting of the tractor
front and rear tyres, tractor trailers and OTR tyres are the other important
segments in the market. Traditionally, tyres are classified as cross-ply (bias)
and radial based on the technology deployed in their manufacture. In India, the
commercial tyre segment continues to be dominated by cross-ply tyres due to
road conditions, loading patterns and the high initial cost of radials. There
is a steady growth in radialisation across segments with the highest in
passenger cars (98%) followed by heavy commercial vehicles (25%) and light
commercial vehicles
(22%).
The
tyre industry consists of three distinct markets namely replacement,
institutional/OEM and exports. By value, replacement accounts for approximately
60% of the industry with Institutional/OEM and exports making up 22% and 18%
respectively. While in the commercial and farm segments replacement sales forms
a major chunk, both Institutional/OEM and replacement sales play an almost
equal role in the passenger segment. Of the total tyres produced in India, the
top ten tyre companies account for nearly 90% of the volume. The tyre industry
provides direct and indirect employment to more than a million people,
comprising of dealers, retreaders and truck operators. The trucking business is
controlled by nearly 2.6 million small operators.
The major factors
affecting the performance of the Indian tyre industry are the sluggish growth
of the economy, interest rates, fuel prices, natural rubber prices and import
duty on rubber. The tyre industry is also directly affected by the performance
of the vehicle manufacturing sector which in turn is dependent on the overall
economic growth. During 2013-14, there has been a dip of 8% in the production
of both light and heavy commercial vehicles while the drop was a sharp 37% in
the newly emerging small commercial vehicle segment. Passenger car production
also saw a decrease of 3%, whereas SUV’s registered an increase of 9% over the
previous year. In two wheelers, scooters witnessed a 33% increase whilst
motorcycle production grew at 12%. The farm sector also recorded an 8% increase
in production over 2012-13.
OPPORTUNITIES AND
THREATS
The
worldwide recession is giving way to growth and the global economic recovery
has started, albeit very slowly. The hope of better performance in the coming
years should bring some cheer to Indian companies as the present economic
outlook in India, though yet somewhat uncertain, is optimistic about robust
growth.
In
recent years, several multinational tyre companies have entered the Indian
market with significant investments and this development will intensify
competition and could potentially cause a glut in the Indian market in the near
future.
Despite
several representations to the government, the inverted tax issue is yet to be
resolved. It is imperative that duty concessions should be extended to the
imports of raw materials by the tyre manufacturers as their performance is
impacted by key raw material costs like those of natural rubber and petroleum
derivatives. At present, rubber and crude oil prices are weak and this will
ease the strain on the margins of tyre companies in the short run. However, a
permanent reduction in rubber import duties is required to ensure long term
health of the Indian tyre industry as price volatility of key raw materials
could return and clearly, there are limits as to how much of such cost escalations
can be passed on to the end customers, especially to OEMs/institutional buyers,
who are extremely price sensitive.
SEGMENT WISE AND
PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE
During
the period 2013-14, MRF achieved a sales turnover of Rs. 1464.100 million. This
is an increase of 8.9% over the previous year. Across the board, there was an
overall increase in all segments adding up to a 5% increase in total tyre
production. In the heavy commercial vehicle segment, the increase was 9% over
the previous year while light commercial vehicle tyres increased by 4%b in this
period. In the motorcycle and scooter segments, the increase was 3% and 6%
respectively. The passenger car group remained flat.
OUTLOOK
The
automobile industry has seen a sluggish phase for the second consecutive year
in 2013-14. It is hoped that in tandem with the expected resurgence in the
Indian economy, the vehicle manufacturing sector will see a slow but sure turn
around in the New Year which would in turn have a positive bearing on tyre
demand. In the interim, the replacement market continues to prop up the tyre
industry demand. As observed earlier, the capacity augmentation in the tyre
industry would further fuel competition and this could put pressure on margins,
especially in the truck radial segment.
PERFORMANCE OF THE
COMPANY
The
sales turnover of the Company during the year increased by around 8.9% from
Rs.1344.500 million in 2012-13 to Rs.1464.100 Million in 2013-14. Earnings
before depreciation and interest (EBIDTA) amounted to Rs. 199.400 Million
against Rs.179.600 Million in the previous year. After providing for
depreciation and interest, the profit before tax for the year ended 30th
September, 2014 was Rs.133.900 Million as compared to Rs.122.700 Million in the
previous year. After making provision for income-tax, the net profit for the
year stood at Rs.89.800 Million as compared to Rs.80.200 Million in the
previous year.
