Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1995. The company’ principal activities include design, supply, installation, construction and operational management of drinking water, waste water treatment, industrial water treatment, etc.

 

For the financial year 2017, the company has achieved revenue growth of 18.82% as compared to the previous year along with an average profit margin of 4.17%.

 

The sound financial risk profile of the company is marked by adequate net worth base along with strong debt protection metrics due to negligible debt balance sheet profile.

 

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had initiated Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) against VA Tech Wabag. The Chennai bench of NCLT had passed the financial order on 06th October 2017 following a plea from consolidated Construction Consortium Limited (CCCL) in respect of an alleged default in payment of due of INR 15.000 million. An Insolvency Resolution Professional (IRP) was appointed to supersede the Board of Directors of the Company and conduct a financial due diligence within the moratorium period. However, as per information gathered from indirect sources, NCLT has withdrawn the Insolvency proceedings against the subject through its order dated 13th October 2017 after the subject settled the amounts claimed by CCCL (INR 22.500 million inclusive of interest). The IRP has also been relieved of their assignment as no further claims were received from other creditors.

 

Payments are reported to be usually correct.

 

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

WORLD OF WABAG

 

WABAG Group is one of the leading and most reputed multinational players in water treatment space. It has presence in over 20 countries and offers a comprehensive range of technological solutions. The Group is headquartered in Chennai and has an envious record of completing more than 2,300 projects over the last 30 years. The Group is actively involved in projects across India, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and South-East Asia and recently entered the Latin America market.

 

The Group’s history dates back to 1924 when it operated as a standalone unit in Breslau. Over the years, the Group underwent various restructuring through mergers and acquisitions. In 1973, it became a part of Deutsche Babcock group which was subsequently acquired by VA Tech, an Austrian Conglomerate, in 1999. In 2005, post-merger of VA Tech and SIEMENS, it became part of SIEMENS Group. However, later in 2005, WABAG’s Indian subsidiary that commenced operations in 1996 acquired the stake from SIEMENS through a Management Buy-Out. Subsequently, in 2007 WABAG India acquired the erstwhile parent Company WABAG Austria along with its subsidiaries.

The global economy grew at 3.1% in 2016 compared to 3.4% in 2015 primarily owing to subdued demand in advanced economies, China’s economic rebalancing, commodity exporters adjusting to a steady decline in terms of trade and geopolitical uncertainties. The second half of the year witnessed a remarkable shift in activities with stronger-than-expected growth in the advanced economies driven by declining inventory drags and recovery in manufacturing output.

 

The GDP growth in advanced economies fell from 2.1% in 2015 to 1.7% in 2016. The US economy witnessed a weaker than expected growth of 1.6% compared to 2.6% in 2015 driven by persistent weakness in non-residential

investments, sizeable drawdown of inventories and fears of market volatility. In the Euro area, the declining output and demand (primarily low investments) resulted in a decline in growth from 2% in 2015 to 1.7% in 2016. However, the second half of 2016 saw Germany, Spain and United Kingdom witnessing stronger growth. In Japan, the weaker external demand and corporate investments continued to weigh down growth.

 

The scenario in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs) remained pretty diverse with growth marginally declining from 4.2% in 2015 to 4.1% in 2016. In the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region, the growth is expected to rebound followed by six years of slowdown.

 

However, the countries in the region would be required to look out for newer areas of growth to reduce poverty and boost prosperity. While Argentina and Brazil are steadily coming out of recession, Mexico is likely to continue with moderate growth and the Caribbean region will grow the fastest. Russia on the other hand, is well on way to come out of recession with a negative growth of 0.2% compared to a negative growth of 2.8% in 2015 driven by firming oil prices. Among the Emerging and developing Asia regions, the growth declined from 6.7% in 2015 to 6.4% driven by a slowdown in Indonesia (led by decline in private investments) and Thailand (led by slowdown in consumption and tourism). The growth in Middle East declined driven by slowdown in Saudi Arabia (1.4% growth in 2016 compared to 4.1% in 2015. This was primarily owing to decline in oil prices and civil unrest. The growth momentum in India also faced temporary economic challenges leading to a negative consumption.

 

The outlook for global economy remains strong with growth expected to be 3.5% in 2017 driven by a positive financial market sentiment towards emerging market economies with expectation of lower interest rates in advanced economies, reduced concern over China’s growth prospects and firming commodity prices. Following

these economic activities in advanced economies and EMDEs are expected to rebound strongly and growing by

2.0% and 4.5% respectively. The LAC region is expected to grow 1.1% in 2017 and then pick up pace to 2% in 2018.

 

 

INDIAN ECONOMIC SCENARIO

 

In FY 2016-17, the Indian economy experienced a slowdown in its GDP growth momentum from 7.9% in FY 2015-16 to an estimated 7.1%. This was primarily on account of the demonetisation drive whereby 86% of currency in circulation had been withdrawn resulting in cash crunch issues which negatively impacted the consumption in the second half of FY 2016-17. As a result of this, most of the sectors of the economy are expected to witness a slowdown – the growth in gross value added (GVA) from services and industrial sector is likely to be 8.8% and 5.2% respectively compared to 9.9% and 8.2% respectively in the previous fiscal. An exception to this shall be the robust growth in agricultural sector which is expected to grow 4.1% compared to 0.76%on account of normal monsoon after two years of deficit.

 

Despite this near-term slowdown, the long-term prospects of the economy remains positive owing to the government’s commitment on meeting the fiscal targets, and focus on enhancing digital transactions and implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) that would lead to healthy growth of the organised sector. An estimate by McKinsey suggest that India’s shadow economy is nearly as large as 26% of its GDP resulting in one-fourth of the economy going unaccounted. Initiatives by the government to limit cash transactions and make digital transactions more lucrative are expected to migrate large chunk of this shadow economy into the formal sector. This will result in higher revenue collection which can be effectively used for infrastructural development. Moreover, there is a strong drive towards enhancing the country’s infrastructure scenario with FY 2017-18 budgetary allocation of INR 3.96 Lakh Million towards creating and upgrading infrastructure.

 

As on 31 March 31 2017, various economic indicators showed a positive sign with inflation being restricted to 3.81% and forex reserves surging to INR 24,103 bn, while fiscal deficit likely to be 3.5% of GDP. One key area that the government is keen to focus on is improving the “Ease of Doing Business” in the country through a series of initiatives. Currently, the country ranks at 130 out of 189 countries and the government aims to improve the country’s ranking to under 50 by 2018. In the short-run, the India’s economic outlook remains mildly positive with adjusting to various radical changes. However, in the long-run, the scenario is expected to improve driven by improving investor confidence in the country, important structural reforms, easing supply side bottlenecks, and implementation of facilitative fiscal and monetary policies. Driven by these, the IMF expects the country to grow 7.2% in 2018 and 7.7% in 2019.

 

GLOBAL WATER SCENARIO

 

Water is the most vital element essential for supporting life. Nearly 42% of the world’s total active workforce is heavily dependent on water while another 36% is moderately dependent on it. Despite this, there has been rampant misuse and wastage of water over the past few decades leading to serious water shortage across the globe. Water scarcity led by climatic conditions and poor water management is a key issue worldwide. Globally, the estimated annual fresh water withdrawal is pegged at 3,928 km3. As per the World Bank, nearly 660 mn people worldwide (primarily from middle and low income countries) lack access to clean water, resulting in these economies losing over US$ 250 mn every year because of insufficient water supply and sanitation services. Another 500 mn are located in areas where annual water consumption exceeds the local renewable water resources by a factor of two. In the past 50 years, the global per capita freshwater supplies have nearly halved with countries in Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and South Asia being classified as water-stressed regions.

 

As per the World Bank, the annual global fresh water withdrawals is estimated at 3,985.7 bn cubic metres, which constitutes nearly 9% of the total global internal resources. Regionally, this figure goes up to 138% in Middle East and North Africa combined and up to 228% in Arab World alone indicating that these regions are withdrawing far more water on an annual basis than the limited internal fresh water available. The scenario is no better in South Asia which withdraws nearly 52% of the total internal fresh water in the region. As per Water’s Digital Future Report by GWI, implementation of digital solutions is one key area that can lead to significant savings in capex and opex costs in the water sector. During 2016 to 2020, the total capex and opex spending across different utility spending categories globally is likely to be US$ 1,152 bn and US$ 1,829 bn respectively. It is estimated that effective implementation of digital solutions can lead to savings of nearly US$ 320 bn.

 

 

The availability of water resources across the globe. An assessment by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change suggests that for each degree of global warming nearly 7% of the global population will face higher exposure to decreased availability of fresh water resources. Several countries in MENA, South Asia and Latin America are already facing troubles due to this and are more vulnerable to increased drought risks.

 

 

INDIAN WATER SCENARIO

 

The water scenario in India is getting severe as perennial rivers are drying up at several locations and ground water levels reaching all-time low. This has given rise to the growing inequalities in water distribution and consumption resulting in rising socio-economic and environmental complexities. India’s per capita renewable internal freshwater resources in 2014 has declined to 1,116 m3 (close to scarcity levels) compared to the global average of 5,926 m3. Though, at present the country’s annual water availability of 1,123 bcm (bn cubic metres) is sufficient to meet the current demand, the situation is expected to worsen in future as water demand rises and availability declines. Moreover, the distribution of water is not consistent across geographies resulting in severe crisis in certain regions. Over the next decade, the consumption of water for domestic and industrial purposes is likely to double, while that of the agricultural consumption is expected to rise sharply. Additionally, the complexities arising from climate change and pollution of ground and surface water are aggravating the problems.

 

 Water treatment infrastructure

 

The water treatment infrastructure in India is at a nascent stage. It is estimated that 70% of the surface water in India is contaminated by biological, toxic, organic and inorganic pollutants. Nearly 66,700 habitations across the country are affected due to presence of arsenic and fluorides in the drinking water. To counter this, the government under a special scheme has allocated a sum of INR 25,000 Million to provide clean and safe drinking water to its citizens.

 

In India, water is a state subject owing to differences in consumption pattern influenced by local conditions, topography and economy. At the centre, the water management is guided by the National Water Mission (focusses on conservation and equitable distribution of water through integrated water resources development and management) and National Water Policy 2012 (focusses developing guidelines for inclusive, equitable, socially just and transparent planning, distribution and management of water resources).

 

The concept of wastewater reuse is not new in India. Lack of supportive policy, low sewerage network coverage and insufficient sewage treatment and availability of fresh water led to slower pace of development in wastewater treatment industry. However, with the Government emphasising on reuse of reclaimed water in its various urban development schemes like Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT), Swachh Bharat Mission, Smart Cities Mission and the Namami Gange programme the industry is likely to witness growth.

 

As per a research report by TechSci, the wastewater treatment plants market in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12% during 2016-21 driven by rising water pollution, stringent regulatory norms and rapid urbanisation. Moreover, the municipal wastewater treatment plants’ rising penetration in residential and commercial sectors will further drive Indian wastewater  treatment plants market.

 

 

INDIAN WATER OUTLOOK

 

India being an agrarian economy, majority of the population depends on agriculture or allied activities. This results in the country being heavily dependent on water for sustaining its economy. In India, of the 32 major cities, 22 face daily water shortage with Jamshedpur being the worst-hit with a supply gap of 70%. As per the World Bank, with the current pace of climate change and water mismanagement, India could lose nearly 6% of its GDP in 2050. Whereas, with efficient water management, it can add extra 1% to the economy of late, there has been rising awareness on water pollution and mismanagement issues. The government is taking up the matter seriously and making environment and pollution norms stricter. In a landmark ruling by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the industrial units have been provided a deadline of three months to set-up a proper effluent treatment plant. Directions have been given to the state pollution control boards (PCBs) to disallow industrial units from operating in case of failure and even directed disconnecting the power supply to defaulting industrial units.

With this, the industrial houses have to mandatorily abide by the pollution norms and ensure that wastewater is effectively treated and discharged. In addition to this, the states have been provided a timeline of three years to build common effluent treatment plants.

a) The Company had been claiming deduction under section 80-IA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 from the financial year ended 31 March 2002 as a developer of infrastructure projects in India. The Finance Act 2009 amended the provisions of Section 80-IA retrospectively with effect from 01 April 2000 to make it inapplicable for persons having a mere works contract with the government or statutory authority. The Company believed that this amendment was in line with the objective of the government of incentivizing only a developer of infrastructure facility and not a mere works contractor. The Company strongly opined that, being a developer of infrastructure turnkey development contracts starting from the conceptualization to execution assuming significant financial commitment and risks, the Company would be treated as a developer and the amendment would not apply to it. Based on a legal opinion from a Senior Counsel, the Company had filed a writ petition in the High Court of Madras challenging the Constitutional validity of the retrospective amendment. The Company had subsequently received favourable Appellate Orders from CIT (Appeals) from financial years 2001-02 to 2006-07 allowing the benefit under section 80-IA of the Income Tax Act, while, the Income Tax department had raised a demand for ` 939 lakhs denying benefit under section 80-IA for the financial year 2008-09. Further to this, the Income Tax department had gone on appeal against the CIT (Appeals) order and was pending at the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal till the previous year. Considering these facts and as a matter of prudence, the Company had disclosed the total tax benefit so far claimed u/s 80-IA as contingent liability in the standalone financial statements upto 31 March 2016. However during the current year favourable orders from Income Tax Appellate Tribunal have been received by the Company which has not been contested. Hence the demand has not been considered as a contingent liability.

 

b) The Company, also based on an opinion taken from a professional firm believes that the interest under section

234B on account of 80-IA disallowance discussed in paragraph ‘a’ above amounting to INR 285.500 million as at 31 March 2016 would not be payable as the Jurisdictional High Court rulings and various assessment orders commencing from financial year 2001-02 are in favour of the Company on this aspect and on this basis, the amount of interest had been disclosed as contingent liability. However as detailed in paragraph ‘a’ above, the same has not been considered as a contingent liability during the current year.
