COMPANY OVERVIEW:

 

ESAB India Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated on November 10, 1987 and commenced its business operations in July 1988. The Company is engaged in the business of welding consumables i.e. welding electrodes, copper coated wires, flux cored wires and welding fluxes and of welding equipment i.e. welding machines and cutting equipment.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

The Business outlook appears relatively positive for the medium term if the policy changes and infrastructure spends take effect. We also bank on improved liquidity and lower financing costs for customers to achieve better turns on working capital and improved margins. The short term outlook is getting increasingly harder to predict as there are multiple interwoven elements including many that are not localized to India.

 

A favorable tax regime and implementation of GST can have significant changes in the way businesses work on supply chain and logistics with potential short term disruptions during the transition phase. In summary, execution by the Government is key and even if a part of the promises translate to actions, there would be reasonably positive implications for the economy and the Company.

 

The company new product launches and a potentially leaner organization would augur well for our sales and profitability. The company targeting to grow our service activities to cushion the impact of any sustained difficulties in the manufacturing segment. Margins and working capital are expected to be under strong pressures with over capacities, aggressive pricing and credit terms by competitors.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

 

Income and Expenditure:

 

Net Sales (Including Service Income) grew by 1.4% on a comparable basis in a small but significant reversal of declining sales trends witnessed from 2011. This was achieved in an extremely challenging environment. Relatively better performances in the R & M business and Exports that were aided by a weakening Rupee, helped in softening the impact of declines in all other product groups. Other income was higher on a comparable basis by about 29.3% due to increase in dividend income from mutual funds, redemption gains on mutual funds and foreign exchange gains. Cash surpluses were deployed in debt and liquid funds.

 

Material costs as a percentage to sales increased from 63.5% to 64.7% due to a combination of poorer product mix, increases in steel costs and price pressures, especially on mass market products. Overheads including employee costs were higher at 26.2% of Net Sales and Service Income as against 24.7% in 2013 on a comparable basis. The increases were primarily on account of;

 

- Employee costs higher by 5% on a comparable basis driven by retirement benefits costs increases based on actuarial valuations.

- Higher costs on transportation outwards and sales promotion expenses in line with changes in terms of trade and customer mix.

 

Depreciation was lower by 2% as compared to 2013 with reduced capital expenditure and aging Plants. The Company has continued to provide for Depreciation at rates aligned to the erstwhile Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956. The rates are different from those recommended in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. The decision to continue with the same rates as before is based on a technical evaluation of useful life of assets.

 

BALANCE SHEET:

 

The Company weathered a difficult year with a focus on fundamentals and efficiencies. Despite strong pressures on working capital, the company closed the year with healthy cash flows and prudent deployment of resources on capital expenditure. Capital Expenditure was about Rs. 74.100 Million as against 93.200 Million in 2013 and projects with productivity enhancements and Quality improvements were prioritized to conserve resources.

 

Current Investments and Cash grew by 14.2% over 2013 due to internal accruals amidst strong pressures on working capital. Inventories were lower by about 12% in value terms due to strong improvements in supply chain and forecasting process. Measured in terms of days to sales, Inventory fell from 52 days in 2013 to 45 days in 2014-15. Trade receivables were up from 23 days in 2013 to 36 days. This is reflective of higher sales to end customers and increases in credit cycles to trade.

 

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE:

 

In terms of Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement with the stock exchanges a Corporate Governance Report is made part of this Annual report. A certificate from the Statutory Auditors of the Company regarding compliance of the conditions stipulated for Corporate Governance under clause 49 of the Listing Agreement is attached to this report.

 

The Company has also adopted the mandatory policy on Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition & Redressal) Act, 2013. Employees have been sensitized on the provisions of this enactment and the Company has also constituted an internal complaints committee with effect from 30 October, 2013 to deal with complaints if any, under the said Act. There were no complaints received during the year to report.

 

The declaration by the Managing Director addressed to the members of the Company pursuant to Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement regarding adherence to the Code of Conduct by the Members of the Board and by the Members of the Senior Management Personnel of the Company is also attached to this Report.

 

 

TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION:

 

  • Extrusion lines revamped to produce high quality electrodes with minimum energy requirements.
  • Auto packing line modified for increased productivity.
  • Conversion to Ultra sonic cleaning from acid cleaning resulting in reduction of effluent.

 

SEGMENT REPORTING:

Unallocated items include general corporate income and expense items which are not allocated to any business segment.

NOTES:

 

  1. The above results of the Company were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of

              Directors on August 6, 2015.

  1. The statutory auditors have carried out a limited review of the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 and have issued an unqualified report.
  2. Following a review of manufacturing capacities of the Company's consumable Plant locations, the Board of Directors at its meeting held on May 26, 2015 approved the discontinuance of operations of the Consumables Plant at Khardah, Kolkata. The Board also approved shifting some of its manufacturing and related equipment to other such plant locations. The Board also approved the sale, disposal or transfer of the remaining moveable and immoveable assets pertaining to the plant at Khardah, Kolkata subject to the approval of the shareholders at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. This has necessitated an Exceptional Expenditure of Rs. Nil (quarter ended March 31, 2015 Rs. 1,163) arising out of Impairment loss on fixed assets and one time settlement made to contractors at Khardah Plant.
  3. The figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 are the balancing figures between audited figures in respect of the full 15 months from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 and the unaudited published year to date figures for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, which were subjected to a limited review.
  4. During the prior period, the Company has changed the year end from December to March. Hence the audited results are for the 15 months from January 1, 2014 - March 31, 2015.
  5. The Company has, based on a technical review and assessment by the management, decided to adopt the existing useful life for all its assets block as against the useful life recommended in the Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013, since the Company believes that the estimates followed are appropriate.
  6. Previous period's figures have been regrouped or reclassified wherever necessary.
