Comments :

Subject is a subsidiary of The BOC Group Limited, UK (a part of the Linde Group), incorporated in the year 1935. It is one of the largest players in the domestic gases business.

 

For the financial year 2014, the company has recorded growth of 4.40% in its revenue but failed to maintain its profit margin which was as low as 0.36%.

 

However, the company has good networth base and there is favourable gap between trade payables and receivables.

 

The ratings reflect the company’s established market position in the industrial gases segment and the strong financial and operational support it receives from its parent company.

 

Trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payments are reported to be regular and as per commitments.

 

In view of long established track record and extensive industry experience of its promoters, the company can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

Subject is a public company. It is incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and its shares are listed on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE), Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) and Calcutta Stock Exchange Limited (CSE). Subject is primarily engaged in manufacture of industrial and medical gases and construction of cryogenic and non-cryogenic air separation plants.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Subject recorded a subdued performance during the year, amidst weak economic conditions and contraction of demand in most of the end user industry segments. While inflation showed some signs of abatement during the year, the slowdown in manufacturing and industrial activity across the country and deferment of new capital expenditure in most segments made market conditions very challenging.

 

Besides, higher depreciation related to recently commissioned plants and higher finance cost on borrowings severely impacted the financial performance for the year.

 

The sluggish demand faced by most of the end user industry segments and many of our customers through the year and over supply position in the markets resulted in significant under utilisation of installed capacities, further impacting the financial performance. Revenue from operations during the year stood at Rs.16148.670 million reflecting a growth of 6% compared to last year. This growth was primarily achieved by revenues realized from the newly commissioned plants, while the base gases and engineering business remained subdued.

 

Gases business grew by 22% during the year mainly driven by commissioning of 2X 853 tonnes per day (tpd) - air separation units (ASU) at Steel Authority of India Ltd’s works at Rourkela. The incremental revenues from ramping up of the newly commissioned plants in the previous year, viz. 2,550 tpd ASU at Tata Steel in Jamshedpur and 330 tpd merchant ASU at Taloja also contributed to higher revenues in the Gases business. The Project Engineering Division (PED) achieved a turnover of Rs.2001.580 million during the year compared to Rs.3676.660 million last year due to significantly lower number of new projects. The PED’s business is primarily driven by capacity expansion in steel and refinery segments.

 

These sectors witnessed restrained capex spend by major customers due to adverse market conditions, high interest rates and policy bottlenecks in mining and other core sectors. However, the Division managed to improve overall profit margin through cost savings and efficient project management in ongoing projects.

 

The operating profit for the year amounted to Rs.2877.900 million, which grew by around 7% as compared to Rs.2698.310 million in the previous year. This includes a profit of Rs.66.400 million shown as other income arising from disposal of right to use an apartment at Kolkata. This growth in operating profit has been achieved through focus on application development and promoting value added products like shielding gases and helium. Subject also initiated cost control measures on various administrative fronts and focused on delivering operational efficiency including by using Six Sigma.

 

The Profit before exceptional items and taxes for the year amounted to Rs.35.780 million as against Rs.663.380 million in previous year. The decrease is on account of significantly higher depreciation charge of Rs.1813.460 million as compared to Rs.1290.430 million in the previous year mainly due to capitalization of new ASUs at SAIL, Rourkela and impairment in value of certain assets under capital work in progress.

 

The steep increase in finance cost from Rs.744.500 million to Rs.1028.660 million further impacted the profits for the year. The significant increase in the finance cost during the year is mainly on account of interest on ECB availed for SAIL Rourkela ASUs, which has been fully charged to revenue during the year following the capitalisation of the ASUs.

 

Net profit for the year stood at Rs.54.000 million as against Rs. 773.280 million in the previous year, which included exceptional income of Rs.502.700 million from sale of land at Ahmedabad.

 

 

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

 

The gases business is capital intensive by nature as it requires large investments in setting up of air separation units as well new packaged gases sites. The supply chain in the gases business also requires significant investments in the form of distribution assets and storage networks to service bulk volumes as well as in the form of cylinders to service relatively smaller volumes in packaged gases business. The industry comprises of major users in steel, chemicals and refinery sectors and a large number of merchant liquid customers primarily in metal, glass, automobile, petrochemicals and pharmaceutical sectors, besides customers for medical gases. New applications continue to provide growth opportunities. This growth is also supported by the increasing outsourcing of gases requirement under a “Build Own Operate“(BOO) type of supply scheme opportunities mainly in steel and refinery sectors.

 

 

GASES AND RELATED PRODUCTS

 

The Gases and Related Products segment comprises of pipeline gas supplies (On-site) to very large industrial customers – mainly primary steel production and refining industry, supply of liquefied gases through cryogenic tankers (Bulk) to cater to mid-size demands across a wide range of industrial sectors and compressed gas supply in cylinders (Packaged Gases) for meeting smaller demand for gases mainly across fabrication and manufacturing and construction industry. The primary production of gases (oxygen, nitrogen and argon) is mostly achieved through cryogenic distillation of air in Air Separation Units (ASU).

 

Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon may be produced in the gaseous state and supplied through pipeline to the on- site customers, or produced in liquid form and stored in insulated cryogenic tanks for supply to bulk customers or further processed in the Packaged Gas plants to bottle compressed gas in cylinders. The strategy of the bulk and packaged gas business continues to be building and sustaining market leadership through application led gas sales and enhanced service levels.

 

The Healthcare business provides high quality gases for pharmaceutical use such as medical oxygen, synthetic air, nitrous oxide in addition to providing state of the art medical gas distribution systems to major hospitals. Subject also provides total gas management solutions to private hospital chains and has ambitious plans to expand beyond its current footprint in metro cities. The strategy of the healthcare business is to sustain its leadership position in the large hospitals in metro cities and increase penetration in tier 2 cities with particular focus on supporting private hospital chains in providing total gas management solutions.

 

The turnover of subject’s gases business for the year 2014 recorded a growth of about 22% over 2013 despite general slowdown in industrial activities in several sectors. As explained earlier, this growth was primarily achieved by revenues realized from the newly commissioned plants, while the base gases remained subdued.

 

The delay in commissioning of some of the projects impacted the gases business. Merchant and packaged gases business however benefited from cyclical upturn in the automobile industry, which helped Subject in achieving highest ever argon volumes even in these difficult conditions. During the year, subject was successful in converting a number of its gases application leads into business with customers including wins in new sectors like cement and aluminium. This further reinforces the strength of Linde’s technology solutions that is helping subject to differentiate itself in the markets. As a result, your Company managed to secure higher oxygen volumes during the year.

 

Higher sale of helium was achieved due to demand from customers in fibre optic cable segment and Government agencies in defense and space research.

 

Operations played a critical role in a difficult year with focus in the areas of power cost reduction, loss reduction, reliability improvement and plant mode optimization with the help of the Remote Operating Centre (ROC). During the year, subject commissioned its 2X853 tpd ASUs at SAIL Rourkela works. The Hyderabad 65 tpd ASU was not operational following an optimisation programme with product being outsourced from other plants.

 

Subject continues its development towards positioning itself as a solutions provider on the back of gases applications, technologies and services. During 2014, despite a challenging business climate, a large number of business wins were achieved on the back of this strategy. Linde’s REBOX® technology for steel reheating has been installed at a number of steel mills in India. The first contract in India for Linde’s world leading technology for aluminium melting was also signed. Activities in the cement, heat treatment, foundry, chemistry, and pharma industries are developing at a high pace with successful installations of Linde’s technical solutions. Opportunities are also being pursued in the food industry, particularly relating to freezing. Subject has a strong focus on the automotive industry and its ancillaries. A technology centre with focus on welding technologies and the automotive industry has been established in Pune. Besides, a number of opportunities are being pursued in the water treatment and clean energy sectors, including involvement in an algae-to-oil project.

 

The Packaged Gases Business (industrial) grew by about 6% in an intensely competitive market dominated by smaller retailers and refillers. The packaged gases consist of compressed industrial oxygen, argon, nitrogen, electronic and special gases. During the year, your Company created differentiation in its product and service offerings by launch of 230 bar oxygen and argon cylinders in key market zones such as Bangalore, Pune and Dahej. By leveraging its technical know-how and creating the right value proposition, your Company has been successful in stepping up the shielding gases volumes by more than 13% in 2014.

 

The Special Products and Chemicals (SP&C) business grew significantly by almost 58% on the strength of helium supplies for manufacture of optic fibre as well as in areas of space research and technologically advanced fields of medicine. Since commissioning of Helium Trans filling operation at Taloja in 2012, the Company has penetrated successfully into the packaged helium as well as Dewar business. Business in XL grade gases, calibration and process gas mixtures also witnessed good growth – mainly from the Lighting and Automotive Industry. The chemicals and electronics gases business remained subdued due to weak demand from the industry.

 

The Healthcare segment continues to provide another growth lever for your Company. However, the business is challenged by intense competition and lack of adequate standards that creates an uneven playing field, where the Company has to compete against a lower standard of compliance by local players. This has an impact on the profitability of the Healthcare segment. In this back drop, your Company is focusing on reducing cost, getting out of low margin accounts, and creating differentiated Product and Service Offers (PSOs) including Total Gas Management, where Linde India becomes an integrated part of the Hospital by managing the Gas Supply to patients. Another initiative being pursued in Healthcare business is the introduction of best in class lightweight cylinders with Linde Integrated Valve (LIV), which sets a new benchmark in medical oxygen packaging for use within the hospital wards.

 

During the year, the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (NPPA) Ministry of Chemicals, Government of India, fixed a ceiling price for medical oxygen and nitrous oxide by classifying them as emergency drugs. This has created a new challenge for these products in the Healthcare markets and your Company has taken adequate steps to address the same. Subject has also made necessary representation to the Government Authorities in this regard.

 

Subject also continues to work on developing the gases pipeline network at Dahej in Gujarat by adding new customers that can be served from the ASU under construction. Subject is also focusing to develop a pipeline scheme in the Kalinganagar industrial area in Odisha with a long term strategy to grow the gases business in this prominent steel industry cluster.

 

Subject sees several opportunities in the Gases business in the medium to long term, which include projected increase in India’s steelmaking capacity to 200 million metric tonnes by 2020, decaptivation and outsourcing of gases demand by refineries and the Government’s ambitious “Make in India“ campaign, with an aim to turn the country into a global manufacturing hub. On the other hand, rising power costs in West and unreliable power supply faced at some of the tonnage plants such as Hyderabad and Selaqui, over capacity in the markets resulting in pricing pressure in merchant business are considered as some of the threats.

 

 

PROJECT ENGINEERING

 

The Project Engineering Division engages in the business of engineering, procurement, supply, construction and commissioning of Air Separation Units (ASU), nitrogen generators, hydrogen Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) plants, compressed air systems and gas distribution and storage systems. The Project Engineering Division (PED) is engaged for in house Gases Division projects, as well as for sale of plants to third party customers.

 

The market condition remained extremely challenging for PED in 2014 as well, when the Division order intake reduced significantly, which is also reflected in the decrease in its revenues. PED achieved revenue of Rs.2001.580 million as compared to Rs.3676.660 million recorded in 2013. During the year, PED executed projects involving air separation plants, nitrogen plants, compressor air stations in steel industry both in public and private sectors. The Division has expanded its global reach during the year with a number of export orders under execution including nitrogen generator revamp for PT. Indo Rama Ventures (Indonesia), liquid nitrogen plant sale (LINIT 50) to Medipharm East Africa Limited (Nairobi). In a difficult year, the Division also managed to recover fixed costs by providing engineering supervision and commissioning services to Linde Engineering Taiwan.

 

Major projects executed during the year include Cryogenic N2 Generator for GAIL (India) Limited, Pata, Inert Gas and Air Compressor system for ONGC Petro Additions Ltd. Other than these projects, the Division has also completed execution of Cryogenic Nitrogen Generator at OMPL, Mangalore and MRPL Phase III, Mangalore. The Division has thus, maintained its leadership in Cryogenic Nitrogen Plant market. Besides, the Division is also constructing 2X1,250 tpd ASU for NMDC, 1,000 tpd ASU for Bhushan Steel at Meramandali in Odisha utilising technology from Linde Engineering. The execution activities for new compressed air station for RINL‘s Visakhapatnam Steel Plant and Nitrogen generation package for GSPC LNG Ltd. at Mundra, Gujarat is at its initial stages. The execution of these and several other projects is progressing well.

 

As a part of the ongoing support to the growth of Gases Business, PED completed commissioning of 2x853 TPD ASUs at SAIL, Rourkela. PED is currently also executing another large in house project for the Gases Division for the commissioning of 2x1,000 scale Oxygen plants at Tata Steel’s 3 MTPA steelworks at Kalinganagar in Odisha, which is expected to be completed in 2015. PED is also engaged in dismantling and relocating the 110 tpd ASU from Taloja and its commissioning at a new site at Dahej. The project is in advanced stage of completion and is expected to be on line by H1 2015.

 

While PED is responsible for execution of in-house ASU projects for the Gases Division, it also continues to remain focused to strengthen its product offerings leveraging on the technological support from Linde Engineering. The Division continues to endeavour to improve its competitiveness through several initiatives by increasing the indigenous component in its plants. The Division’s total third party orders in hand stood at Rs.2420.000 million as on 31 December 2014.

 

 

FINANCE

 

As on 31 December 2014, your Company had three loan facilities by way of External Commercial Borrowing (ECB) aggregating EUR 199.6 million from Linde AG. The facilities were executed for funding of large air separation units (ASU) at Tata Steel Jamshedpur (2,550 tpd ASU), SAIL Rourkela (2X853 tpd ASU), Tata Steel Kalinganagar (2X1,000 scale Plants) and Hydrogen SMR unit at Asian Peroxide. Out of the three facilities, two EUR facilities aggregating EUR 122 million are fully drawn down. The third facility is a fixed rate INR facility equivalent to EUR 77.6 million and is partly drawn. During the course of the year, INR equivalent of EUR 29.4 million was drawn down and EUR 21.2 million was repaid leaving a net outstanding position of EUR 155.4 million as at the end of the year. The ECBs are fully hedged both with regard to the principal and interest payments.

 

During the year, the Company has also negotiated and fully drawn down three-year floating rate, two term loan facilities aggregating to USD 24.90 million equivalent of Rs. 1,500 million from Citibank. The term loan facility was executed to fund ongoing small capital expenditure requirement. This facility is in addition to the two-year USD 16.8 million equivalent of Rs. 1,000 million term loan executed in the previous year.

 

All the three facilities are fully hedged with regard to the principal and interest payments. The overall Working Capital Demand Loan (WCDL) as on 31 December 2014 was Rs. 1,500 million. During the year, the Company transferred a sum of Rs. 0.81 million of unpaid / unclaimed dividend for the year ended 31 March 2007 to the Investor Education and Protection Fund.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

India’s economy grew by about 6.2% through 2014. For 2015, the projections show optimism, which is largely due to expectation of policy reforms by the new Government at the Centre, recovery in the global economy, easing liquidity, speed on policy reforms and normal monsoons. The economy is projected to achieve a GDP growth of about 8% during 2015-16 driven by service sector and industrial growth on the back of policy reforms and lower interest rates.

 

Steel Production capacity in the country is set to increase to 200 million MT in 2020 as compared to a production capacity of 102 million MT in 2013. Majority of the expansion in steelmaking capacity is driven by country’s major steel players like Tata Steel, SAIL, Jindal Steel, etc. This increase in capacity will make India the second largest steel producing nation. The Steel industry is set to grow at a CAGR of 8-9% over the next five years.

 

The industrial gases business is expected to have a strong double digit growth in the medium to long term with demand coming in from Steel, Chemicals, Energy, Automobile, etc. Increase in steel production capacity in the country is likely to lead to more on-site gas plants. Besides, the “Make in India” campaign of the Government is expected to attract major investments in capital goods, infrastructure and pharma sector, which augurs well for the growth of Gases industry. Subject is also focusing on increasing its footprint in food and beverage and the oil and gas markets.

 

The presence of a large domestic population, along with the increase in its per capita income is expected to provide enough of a demand stimulus to ensure continued economic growth for India. All macroeconomic fundamentals will have positive impact on industrial gases and engineering business.

 

Subject has been able to develop itself by leveraging the strengths of its parent- both in the gases and engineering segment and putting best commercial practices in place to win large tonnage gas supply contracts and grow the merchant and packaged gases business. Subject is thus poised to become the leading industrial gases company in the country.
