the Company operates in three key segments

 

(i) Electro-Mechanical Projects and Packaged Air Conditioning Systems

 

(ii) Unitary Products, and

 

(iii) Professional Electronics and Industrial Systems.

 

The performance of the Company in the above mentioned segments during the year is as stated below:

 

(a) Electro-Mechanical Projects and Packaged Air Conditioning Systems

 

The revenue of the Electro-Mechanical Projects and Packaged Air Conditioning Systems business increased by 18% to INR 21225.400 Million from INR 17974.800 Million. This segment witnessed adverse impact due to slowdown of the real estate sector post demonetisation. However, the market witnessed modest growth propelled by Government-funded infrastructure projects.

 

Segment Results registered an increase of 26% from INR 757.900 Million  in the previous year to INR 952.600 Million in the year. The increase is mainly owing to higher billings of projects with healthy margins and improved control on costs.

 

(b) Unitary Products

 

Unitary Products’ revenue in the year grew by 27% to INR 20039.200 Million  as against previous year’s revenue of `1582.82 crores due to an early onset of summer in 2017. The performance of the room air conditioner business was impressively driven by the wide range of star-rated inverter split air conditioners. With a rise in preference for inverter ACs, the Company continued to perform better in the category of energy-efficient products. Further, commercial refrigeration products such as water coolers, bottled water dispensers and glass top freezers witnessed significant demand. Enhanced product penetration amongst the existing channels, coupled with a comprehensive range of products and aggressive promotional activities contributed to the growth and profitability in this segment. The market continued to witness an increased demand for display freezers. Sales of bottled water dispensers grew well as the Company engaged with more retailers while storage water cooler sales also increased with enhanced demand from the educational, Government and manufacturing segments.

 

The Company extended its product range by introducing water purifiers, air purifiers and air coolers. The results of this segment grew by 26% from INR 1651.300 Million   in the previous year to INR 2080.900 Million in the year.

 

(c) Professional Electronics and Industrial Systems

 

The Company had earlier transferred the business of Professional Electronics and Industrial Systems to its subsidiary, Blue Star Engineering & Electronics Limited. However, due to customer and contractual requirements, certain contracts of this business needed to be executed by the Company. The revenue generated by these contracts during the year was INR 226.300 Million.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Blue Star is India’s leading air conditioning and commercial refrigeration company with over seven decades of experience in providing expert cooling solutions. Its credentials and unmatched expertise help it to enjoy a preferred partnership status with most of corporate and commercial India. Blue Star’s central air conditioning systems are part of landmark buildings and mega structures such as airports, malls, hospitals and industrial establishments. In fact, every third commercial building in the country has a Blue Star product installed. The Company’s integrated business model of a Manufacturer; Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services provider; and After-sales service provider enables it to offer end-to-end solutions to its customers across building, industrial and infrastructure segments. Its potent blend of technical know-how, talented workforce, design expertise, exceptional project execution capabilities and global footprint makes it the most preferred choice for mechanical, electrical and plumbing projects.

 

Blue Star offers India’s widest range of air conditioning and commercial refrigeration products, as well as a comprehensive range of water purifiers, air purifiers and air coolers. It entered the residential air conditioners segment a few years ago, and has made deep inroads, with a market share of 11.5%. Blue Star is also the country’s largest after-sales air conditioning and commercial refrigeration service provider with a spectrum of world-class customer service solutions as well as value-added services. It has an extensive network of exclusive, multi-brand and modern retail format channel partners as well as service partners across the country. Blue Star’s modern manufacturing facilities along with a proficient research and development team have given the Company an edge over its competitors. The business processes have been IT-enabled and the organization has judiciously invested in state-of-the-art technologies with the objective of productivity and consistency across its deliverables.

 

Blue Star has joint ventures in Qatar, Malaysia and Oman which undertake MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) projects for residential, commercial and infrastructure purposes. The Company exports to 17 countries in the Middle East, Africa, SAARC and ASEAN regions, where its products stand the test of time in some of the most difficult climatic conditions in the world. This has helped enhance the Blue Star brand beyond India, while providing significant growth opportunities for its business, going a long way in establishing Blue Star as a true global player.

 

Blue Star’s other businesses include marketing and maintenance of imported professional electronic equipment and services, as well as industrial products and systems, which is handled by Blue Star Engineering & Electronics, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. It holds the repute of providing advanced technology products as well as turnkey engineering solutions that cater to several industries across the country.

 

BTHEMINESS SEGMENTS

 

In accordance with the nature of products and markets addressed, business drivers, and competitive positioning, the lines of business of Blue Star are segmented as follows:

 

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PROJECTS AND PACKAGED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

 

This business segment covers the design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and maintenance of central air conditioning plants, packaged/ducted systems and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, as well as contracting services in electrification, plumbing and fire-fighting. After-sales services such as revamp, retrofit and upgrades also form part of this segment.

 

UNITARY PRODUCTS

 

Blue Star offers a wide variety of stylish, contemporary and energy-efficient room air conditioners for both residential as well as commercial applications. It also manufactures and markets a comprehensive range of commercial refrigeration products and cold chain equipment. The Company has recently added water purifiers, air purifiers and air coolers to its product portfolio.

 

PROFESSIONAL ELECTRONICS AND INDTHEMTRIAL SYSTEMS

 

For over six decades, Blue Star has been the exclusive distributor in India for many internationally renowned manufacturers of professional electronic equipment and services, as well as industrial products and systems. This business is managed by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Star Engineering & Electronics Limited.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

AIR CONDITIONING

 

In FY17, the estimated total market size for air conditioning in India was around `18500 crores. Of this, the market for central air conditioning, including central plants, packaged/ducted systems, VRF systems and other ancillary equipment, was about `6500 crores, while the market for room air conditioners comprised the balance `12000 crores.

 

During the year, Government-funded infrastructure projects fuelled growth while private investments stayed subdued, resulting in a sluggish market, especially post demonetisation. Healthcare, education and metro segments benefitted from Government investments. In the buildings segment, offices, hospitals and ITeS gained some traction, but the factories segment remained tepid.

 

On the other hand, the room air conditioners market grew significantly on account of a harsh summer and increased demand during the festive season. The rise in disposable incomes of the growing middle-class consumers and enhanced demand from Tier 3/4/5 markets continued to drive growth. In spite of the effects of demonetisation and relatively sluggish demand in the last quarter of the review period, the industry registered a healthy growth of 20%, in terms of value. The industry also faced margin pressures in the second half of the year under review, on account of high inventory and increase in commodity prices.

 

COMMERCIAL REFRIGERATION

 

The commercial refrigeration segment includes a wide range of products such as deep freezers, water coolers, bottled water dispensers, visi coolers, reach-in as well as under-counter chillers and freezers, ultra-low temperature freezers, cold rooms, bottle coolers and ice machines. Rapid changes in consumption patterns across customer segments, coupled with enhanced consumer awareness, and the fast-growing segments such as food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries contributed to the growth in this segment.

 

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 

Blue Star’s digital transformation programme, which was initiated in FY16, gained significant momentum during the year. This programme endeavours to enable the Company to become a true digital enterprise with physical products at the core, which are augmented by digital interface and data-based, innovative services. This will enable value addition for customers by providing product knowledge and an overall enhanced customer experience, with considerable ease.

 

The Company’s digital framework has incorporated the latest technologies such as cloud computing, mobile devices, IoT (Internet of Things) platforms, location detection technologies, intrusion detection, big data analytics, omni-channel customer experiences and augmented reality. Blue Star is implementing a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for the development and management of its new products. An online vendor network platform has been deployed to automate the factory procurement processes and vendor management through a single system. Several customised solutions were developed for ease of frontline sales functions. These include mobile apps for tracking sales activities and customer visits; ecommerce through multiple channels such as Snapdeal, Amazon, Tata Cliq and Flipkart; equipment selection software for the VRF system; heat load calculation for cold rooms, and online analytics to track Blue Star’s presence across all ecommerce channels.

 

On the customer service front, service technicians have been equipped with mobile apps to schedule, track and execute installation, preventive maintenance service and breakdown service calls. A customer care app was also launched which equips customers to log in service complaints.

 

 

CORPORATE OUTLOOK

 

The electro-mechanical projects business was adversely impacted due to the slowdown in the real estate sector post demonetisation. However, Government-funded infrastructure projects continued to witness growth, driving some demand in this business. The unitary products business has been performing impressively, driven by the Company’s strong brand equity and enhanced distribution footprint. Given the early onset of summer and the forecast of a normal monsoon coupled with addition of new product lines such as water purifiers and air purifiers, the prospects of the unitary products business look promising. GST implementation from July 2017 will have implications for the products business. Blue Star is geared up to consolidate its position in the central air conditioning market with the extensive array of products. Overall, the Company is confident of sustaining its growth momentum in FY18.
