WHEN fe500 had decided to use revenue and not market capitalisation as the key marker for corporate performance, this was not a fashionable

decision. Market cap was the favourite criterion of all analyses. Allow us to saythat 2008’s stock market bloodbath showed how puzzling market cap can be as asubstantive indicator.

Market cap is important. But when markets are responding to global fear anduncertainty, their verdict on a company can be bemusing. Revenue, on the otherhand, reflects the rewards of a company’s real business activities and can giveyou a good idea of a company’s performance even the day after LehmannBrothers dies.

So, this edition of fe500 has a special significance—many of the corporatespresent here may have taken a market cap battering. But they can still be judgedand found to have solid attributes.

The study, covering 2007-08, shows how the impact of the slowdown had begunto set in. Profitability, especially of larger companies, remained high. However,the sales growth at 17% was much lower than the 28% recorded in 2006-07.

The fe500 also profiles the top 15 companies in our list. There are a few notabletrends. Reliance Communication debuts on fe500—another indication of how bigthe telecom story can become. And Bharti Airtel pushes established companieslike L&T out of the top 10. Most of the other big ones continue to hold their place.But interestingly, the only FMCG firm to feature in the list is ITC. The companyhas, over the years, diversified and invested a great deal in the Indian ruralsector. The rewards have just about started to come in.

There’s a bigger lesson here. As 2008-09 ends with evidence of dampenedurban demand, the focus is on rural demand, which seems to be in healthy shape.The aam aadmi could be India Inc’s biggest friend in a slowdown.

AFTER a sparkling performancein 2006-07, the Indian corporatesector showed a slight dull

moment in its performance during2007-08. Rising cost of raw materialsand energy cost placed some obstaclesin their growth path.

Speeding ahead at a rate of 17.69%,the FE 500’s net sales reached a high ofRs 19.32 lakh crore. Though, in compar-ison with 2006-07, the sales growth wassignificantly low. The FE 500’s salesgrowth was 28.02% in the year 2006-07.

The top ten, in terms of compositeranks, seemed slightly slower thanthe FE 500 as a whole. Their salesgrowth, at 15.20%, was lower than theoverall FE 500, which recorded a col-lective growth of 17.69%. In absoluteterms also, the top ten ended 2007-08with a lower record: their aggregatesales as a percentage of the totalFE 500 saw a marginal decreasefrom 36.26% in the year before to35.49% in 2007-08.

Barring Larsen & Toubro, all theother nine who graced the superleague in 2006-07, also showed up inthe next year. Larsen & Toubro, thetop tenner of 2006-07 was edged outby BPCL in 2007-08. At the top spot in2007-08 was Reliance Industries. Inthe slot just behind it was stable-mate ONGC; the third runner-upwas NTPC.

The other seven top tenners, indescending order of their compos-ite ranks were: Indian Oil Corp,Bharti Airtel, SAIL, RelianceCommunications, Tata Steel, BPCLand BHEL.

Within the top ten group someshifting of positions has takenplace. Thus, Bharti Airtel, sixth in

2006-07, moved up to the fifth positionand Sail lost the position from fifth tothe sixth. BHEL lost ground anddeclined, from the eighth to the tenth.

The FE 500, clubbed in five groups-the first 100, the second 100, the third100, fourth 100 and the rest were neckto neck. So, comparisons, if any, havetobemadewithintheFE500.Asagainstan overall sales growth rate of 17.69%for the 500 as a group, the sub-groupsof 100 each recorded growth rates of16.75, 20.01, 23.78,18.24 and 19.34%respectively during 2007-08. The top 100group (according to composite rank-ings) saw seven new companies makingan entry in 2007-08.The highest rate ofrise in net sales in the first set wasrecordedbyDLF(388.13%),LancoInfra-tech (190.68%), Punj Lloyd (99.79%),HDIL (97.75%), Sesa Goa (76.45%) andSiemens (71.78%).

The laggards in the top 100 were

National Aluminium (-15.64%), TataCommunication (-12.36%), Dr ReddysLab (-11.53%), Ambuja Cements(-8.78%), Hindustan Zinc (-7.97%)Moser Baer (-6%) and MTNL (-3.81%).

Around 11 companies in the firstgroup of 100 recorded more than a 50%increase in net sales in 2007-08. The sec-ond set of 100 companies grew at20.01%, higher than the FE 500’s aver-age. Their combined net sales increas-ed from Rs 1.86 lakh crore (on anannualised basis) in 2006-07 to Rs 2.23lakh crore in 2007-08. The second setsaw many changes, but the more note-worthy among them were the 16 newentrants from the lower ranks in 2007-08.The highest rate of rise in net saleswas recorded by Era Infra Engineering(91.93%), followed by KS Oils (90.93%)and Omaxe ( 90.20%).

Among the poor performers in thisgroup was Ballarpur Inds (-56.1%).

Compared to the first two, the thirdgroup of 100 companies did performwell in terms of net sales growth.Aggregate net sales of the set in-creased by 23.78% from Rs 97,484crore in 2006-07 to Rs 1,20,665 crorein 2007-08. In terms of individualperformance, eight companies re-corded declines in the third set.Of them, Fert & Chem. Travancore(-41.15%), followed by BannariAmman Sugar (-17.65%), ShreeRenuka Sugars (-6.90%) and OCL(-5.44%). Hind National Glass(98.14%), Koutons Retail (I)(97.18%), BGR Energy Systems(94.14%), BL Kashyap & Sons(90.91%), Bombay Rayon (89.24%),Consolidated Const Consortium(70.43%) and Nava Bharat Ventures(61.88%) were among those register-ing significant sales growth.

the set in 2007-08. Not all the new mem-bers however, have any cause for jubila-tion. As many as nine of them arerejects from the second set, includingsuch big names like JK Cement, ShreePrecoated Steels, Matrix Laboratories,JK Tyre Industries and KingfisherAirlines. And 14 others, which were inthe fourth set in 2006-07, entered thethird set of companies in 2007-08.Mentionmaybemadeof HindNationalGlass, Gulf Oil Corp., ChettinadCement Corp., Ramsarup Indus-tries, Koutons Retail (I), Elec-trotherm (I) and MindTree.

The fourth set of 100 companiesregisteredthelowestgrowthinsalescompared to the second and thirdset, indicating that at the bottom ofthe corporate heap, there is seriouslack of enterprise. The fourth groupof companies grew at 18.24%, andtheir combined net sales increasedfrom Rs 74,114 crore (on an annu-alised basis) in 2006-07 to Rs 87,629crore in 2007-08. The highest rate ofrise in net sales was recorded bySanwaria Agro Oil (110.60%), fol-lowed by ICSA(I) (101.72%), Spicejet(101.15%), HBL Power System(89.02%), Godavari Power&Ispat(88.81%), Amara Raja Batteries(82.69%), Ankur Drugs (80.41%) andBharati Shipyard (78.27%).

Most interesting part of the FE

500 is the sales growth of fifth and finalset of 100 companies. The fifth group ofcompanies grew at 19.34%, which ishigher than first hundred and fourthhundred groups and their combinednet sales increased from Rs 53,980 crorein 2006-07 to Rs 64,418 crore in 2007-08.

Looking at the FE 500 as a whole,it is obvious that individual perfor-mance was substantially determinedbythefortunesof theindustryinwhichthey operated. The fastest growing

industries in 2007-08 were dry cells,steel-sponge iron, construction, retail-ing, glass and glass products, shipbreaking and repairing, steel-pig iron,solvent extractions, engineering andair conditioning.

The slowest growing industrieswere aluminium and products, textiles-processing, cycles and accessories,packaging, biotech, tea, pharmaceuti-cal-multinationals, automobiles LCVs,HCVs and passenger cars, computers-

hardware and compressors/ drill-ing equipment. Given the perkyoverall growth rate of 17.69% for theFE 500, asset growth was signi-ficantly higher than the salesgrowth. The combined total assetsof the FE 500 (according to sales)rose by 28.17% from Rs 16.90 lakhcrore in 2006-07 to Rs 21.66 lakh crorein 2007-08.

While building assets, the FE 500were more concerned about profits.Gross profits grew higher thansales. The total gross profits of theFE 500 rose from Rs 2.78 lakh crore(onanannualisedbasis)in2006-07toRs3.34lakhcrorein2007-08;a20.14%jump. The top 10 of the FE 500accounted for a major share of thebooty(Rs1.31lakhcrore), leavingRs2.03 lakh crore to be divided upamong the remaining 490.

BEGINNING as a small textile com-pany, Reliance Industries Limited(RIL) has crossed several mile-

stones to become India’s largest privatesector company, with businesses in theenergy and materials value chain. Thegroup’s annual revenues are today inexcess of Rs 1,76,800 crore ($34 billion).RIL is a Fortune Global 500 company.RIL’s net profit for the financial yearendedMarch2008stoodatRs19,458crore,an increase of 63% as compared to Rs11,943 crore in fiscal 2007. It also posted aturnover of Rs 1,39,269 crore for fiscal2008, an 18% increase.

Starting with textiles, Reliance pur-suedastrategyof backwardverticalinte-gration—in polyester, fibre intermedia-tes, plastics, petrochemicals, petroleumrefining and oil and gas exploration andproduction—to be fully integrated alongthe materials and energy value chain.

The group’s activities span explo-ration and production of oil and gas,petroleumrefiningandmarketing,petro-chemicals (polyester, fibre intermedi-ates, plastics and chemicals), textiles,retail and special economic zones.Reliance enjoys global leadership in itsbusinesses, being the largest polyesteryarn and fibre producer in the world andamong the top five to ten producers in theworld in major petrochemical products.

RIL is likely to begin gas productionfrom the Krishna-Godavari basin by mid-April. K-G basin in the Bay of Bengal toJamnagar in Gujarat, where it has set upthe world’s largest petroleum refineryand has a capacity of 33 million tones perannum. Reliance’s manufacturing divi-sion at Naroda, Ahmedabad is one of thelargest and most modern textile com-plexes in the world. The company’s flag-ship brand ‘Vimal’ is one of the mosttrustedbrandsof premiumtextilesinthecountry. Apart from being a major sup-plier of fabrics with all the leading USand European brands, Reliance proposesto enter into garment supplies, ensuringa one point solution for their needs. Thetextile division has achieved a major

breakthrough in the domestic andAmerican automotive markets aimed atobtaining a foothold in the world’s auto-textile segment, currently worth $ 5 bil-lion. The manufacturing facility atNaroda, Ahmedabad has completed itsmodernisation and upgradation.

Reliance Retail Limited (RRL), a sub-sidiary of RIL, was set up to lead RelianceGroup’s foray into organised retail. RRLhas embarked upon an implementationplan to build state-of-the-art retail infra-structure in India, which includes amulti-format store strategy of openingneighbourhood convenience stores,hypermarkets, specialty and wholesalestores across India.

While falling demand for fuel and lo-wer gains from processing crude oil hascaused a slump in profits, RIL managed toprevent a drastic profit fall by posting bet-ter gross refining margins (GRMs). Forthethirdquarterforthecurrentfinancialyear,RILhadpostedanetprofitdipof 10%to Rs 3,501 crore (excluding exceptionalitems), compared to Rs 3,882 crore in Q3 ofthe previous year. GRMs did not fall asmuchasfeared,droppingto$10perbarrelagainst $15.4 per barrel on a year-on-yearbasis. RIL’s GRM in the quarter washigher by $6.4 per barrel than the bench-mark Singapore Complex GRM.

Mukesh Ambani, CMD, RIL had said,“This was one of the most challengingquarters with volatility in prices andmargins. Producers and consumers arecoming to terms with slower global tradeand economic outlook. Reliance per-formed commendably with high operat-ing rates. We reached an important markin the start up of the RPL refinery.”

In February 2009, RIL merged with itsrefining subsidiary Reliance PetroleumLimited (RPL) and offered a swap ratioof 1:16. RIL will issue 69.2 million newshares to shareholders of RPL in orderto buy back the company and will have3.7 million shareholders after themerger.RIL’sequitycapitalwillrisetoRs1,643 crore and the promoter’s holdingswill fall by 2%. With the merger, RILbecomes the world’s fifth largest poly-propylene producer.

IFoneweretolookattheaccoladesthispremier Navratna has garnered, itwould be an extremely long list.

However, here are a few noteworthy—numero uno oil exploration and produc-tion company in Asia as per Platts 250Global Energy Companies List in 2007.Ranked 20th amongst the top global pub-licly-listed energy companies as per PFCEnergy 50 in January 2008. And, the onlycompany from India in the FortuneMagazine’s list of the world’s mostadmired companies in 2007.

This speaks volumes about the kind ofgiant that the nation can count on. And,little wonder then that it is right up thereamongst the FE 500 list. And the financialyear 2007-08 saw the company record ahighest ever revenue of Rs 60,137 crore, anet profit of Rs 16,701.6 crore, and dis-tributed Rs 32 per share or a 320% divi-dend. As a group, the company crossedthe one trillion mark in 2007-08. Thisagain was a record of sorts.

However, the year marks the increas-ed intensity in exploratory efforts by thecompany and it made significant dis-coveries in deep water and ultra-deepwa-ter provinces in the east coast of India.“This focus has enabled us to maintain areserve replacement ratio (RRR) of morethan one consistently for the past fouryears,” said chairman and managingdirector RS Sharma.

The company had also made 38project acquisitions in 18 countries.Anddespitethehandsomepayout,ONGChas an enviable cash position. Cash andbank balance increased 23.8%, fromRs 15070 crore 2006-07 to Rs 18,650 crore in2007-08 and this constituted 24.1% and18.3% of reported net worth and totalassets respectively. Such a cash positionputs ONGC in a position of strength tomake global acquisitions. And surely,it has been making its internationalpresence felt.

ONGC operates in the internationalmarkets through its wholly-owned sub-sidiary OVL, through which it hasacquired interests in several oil and gas

blocks. OVL operates in 15 countries with44 properties and has produced around8.8 MMT of oil and oil equivalent gas lastyear. Therefore, the percentage of over-seas production to total production ofONGC has increased from 7.23% in 2002-03 to 15.4% in 2007-08.

Thecompanyhasanextremelystrongoverseas plan and a similar one onthe domestic front. OVL at the end of 2008has completed the Imperial Energyacquisition for $1.9 billion. And recently,the board approved an investment ofabout Rs 3,500 crore for investing inadditional facilities at its oilfields inAssam and Western Offshore to boostoutput and also reported five oil and gasdiscoveries.

The third quarter results, however,were rather disappointing. Thanks to thefall in crude prices and under-recovery.Due to this, the company reported a sub-stantial drop in standalone net profit forthe quarter ended December 2008.During the quarter, the profit of the com-pany declined 43.32% to Rs 24,74.81 crorefromRs43,66.54croreinthesamequarterprevious year. Net sales declined 17.07%to Rs 12,538.6 crore, while total income forthe quarter fell 14.55% to Rs 13,657.39crore, when compared with the prioryear period.

However, the depreciating rupee isexpected to boost earnings in the shortrun, its ambitious plans and vision in thelong-run. Every single rupee fall againstthe dollar causes the standalone earn-ingspershareof thecompanytoincreaseby more than Rs 3, say analysts. As for thelong-run, RS Sharma said, “As we lookinto the future, it is strewn with opportu-nities. Even though ONGC is committedtoconcentrateonitscorebusinessareaofE&P, it shall continue to capture growthopportunitiesinintegrationprojectsandretain its leadership position in theenergy sector of the country.”

In this, the company is also lookingat new vistas in the nuclear power gener-ation area. It would be looking at jointventures to tap the uranium potentialand further enhance its role in India’senergy security.

NTPC, the country’s largest powercompany, has emerged as an‘Integrated Power Major’, with a

significant presence in the entire valuechain of power generation business. Atpresent, it has a generating capacity of29,894 MW, from coal and gas. But thecompany has also diversified into hydropower, coal mining, power equipmentmanufacturing, oil and gas exploration,power trading and distribution. The pub-lic sector company, incorporated in theyear 1975 and ranked 411th in the Forbeslist of ‘World’s 2000 largest companies,2007’, has embarked on plans to become a75,000 MW company by 2017.

The company contributes to 19.11%of the country’s capacity and accountedfor 28.51% of the total power generationin India in 2007-08. On March 20,RS Sharma, CMD of the company, saidthat it would add 3,000 megawatts ofcapacity in FY 2009-10. This expansiontarget is around 70% more than what thecompany would achieve in 2008-09. Thecompany undertakes many pro-activemeasures to protect the environment andecology around its projects. It was thefirst among power utilities in India tostart Environment Impact Assessment(EIA) studies and reinforced it with peri-odic environmental audits and reviews.

NTPC is also planning to increase theshareof non-fossilbasedgeneration.Theshare of fossil fuel-based generation isexpected to come down from 82% of thetotal generation today to about 70% by2017. NTPC’s is also diversifying intoequipment manufacturing and formed aJV with BHEL for manufacturing bal-ance-of-plant equipment and main-plantequipment. NTPC has developed greencover of over 18 million trees and plans todevelop one million square feet of greenbuilding space by 2017.

THE India growth story so far andeven henceforth rests on the for-tunes of several corporations.

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is defi-nitely one of them. The sheer magnitudeof operations and its reach make it a crit-ical element in India’s growth prospects.

Consider this, in the financial year2007-08, the IndianOil group sold 59.29million tonne of petroleum products,including 1.74 million tonne of naturalgas, and exported 3.33 million tonne ofpetroleum products. It, along with itsgroup of companies, owns and operates10 of India’s 19 refineries with a com-bined refining capacity of 60.2 millionmetric tonne per annum (or 1.2 millionbarrels per day). These include tworefineries of subsidiary Chennai Petro-leum Corporation Ltd (CPCL) and one ofBongaigaon Refinery and Petrochemi-cals Limited (BRPL). The corporation’scross-country network of crude oil andproduct pipelines, spanning about 9,300km is the largest in the country.

In fact, 2007-08 saw the culmination ofa major restructuring exercise in theform of a seamless merger of the market-ing subsidiary, IBP, with Indian Oil.“Integration of the countrywide assetsand operations of both the companies ledto the formation of a larger and more for-midable marketing network of over34,000 touch points for Indian Oil,” saidSarthay Behuria, chairman, Indian Oilin the annual general meeting. “A similarexercise is underway for the merger ofthe refining subsidiary, BongaigaonRefinery and Petrochemicals Ltd, whichwill bring synergy in our refining opera-tions” he added.

Indian Oil’s revenues for the year2007-08 reached a new high of Rs 2,47,479crore, up by 12.1% as compared to the pre-vious year. The net profit was Rs 6,963crore, after considering the compensa-tion of Rs 18,997 crore in the form of thespecial oil bonds issued by the Govern-ment of India. The total net under-recov-ery onaccountof priceunder-realisationon sale of the four sensitive products in

the year 2007-08 was Rs 9,774 crore, afterconsidering the oil bonds and burden-sharing by upstream companies.

Among new businesses, natural gasmarketing and petrochemicals togethergenerated revenues of nearly Rs 4,700crore for the year 2007-08. The petro-chemical plants set new records in pro-duction during the year to matchincreased sales. The year also markedexpansion of the corporation’s upstreamportfolio to over 20 oil and gas assets inIndia and abroad.

In fact, Indian Oil has been creatingassets internationally as well and most ofthem are present in value-added productsegments. Indian Oil (Mauritius) hasdeveloped its presence in the competitiveaviation business. Lanka IOC looks atwidening the lubricants business.

Similarly, Indian Oil Middle EastFZE concentrates on blending lubricantsand marketing petroleum products inthe Middle East, Africa and CIS coun-tries. The combined turnover of allsubsidiaries for the year 2007-08 wasRs 41,831 crore, registering a growth of11.2% over the previous year. Their com-bined profit was Rs 1,524 crore, anincrease of 109% over the previous year.The joint ventures also fared well duringthe year, with their aggregate turnoverreaching Rs. 8,245 crore, representing a31.6% growth over the previous year.Their combined profits registered a 64%jump to Rs 595 crore

Going ahead there are ambitiousplans. The management envisagesinvestments of over Rs. 50,000 crore cur-rently and plans to take the group refin-ing capacity from 60.2 to 80 million tonneper annum by the year 2011-12. Similarly,IndianOil will add about 4,000 km of newpipelines by the year 2012. “In this, we seegaspipelinesasahigh-growtharea,”saidBehuria. He also mentioned, “IndianOil’s new businesses assume great signif-icance for its growth plans for the future,with its current marketing margins tak-ing a hit on account of soaring prices ofcrude oil in the international market andincomplete pass-through of productprices to the customers.”

STATE-OWNED Steel Authority ofIndia Ltd (SAIL) is the country’slargest steel maker. It was among

the leading profit earning corporates ofthe country in 2007-08 with an annualprofit (before tax) of Rs 11,469 crore and aturnoverof Rs45,555crore.Thecompanypaid its shareholders 37% dividend fortheyear,amountingtooverRs1,500crore.

Sail set new performance landmarksin financial year 2007-08 with high pro-duction and productivity, market-drivenproduct-mix, higher value-added/spe-cial steel production and by taking sev-eral initiatives towards cost reduction.Strong market demand for steel sup-ported best-ever sales of 12.3 milliontonne during the year, with substantialgrowth in sales of value-added productslikelongrailsof 130/260metre,plates,HRcoils and medium structurals. Sales werealso boosted by the presence of SAIL’sauthorised dealers in all districts of thecountry, with an addition of about 1,200new dealers during 2007-08. Sail thusbecame the first steel company in thecountry to have a distribution networkcovering each and every district.

During2007-08,Sailrecordedthehigh-est-ever saleable steel production of 13million tonne with a capacity utilisationof 118%. Of this, 8.9 million tonne wasproduced through the energy-efficientcontinuous casting route with capacityutilisation of 128%. Production of spe-cial quality/value-added products wentup to 3.5 million tonne. Over 30 new prod-ucts were developed for special applica-tions, including high corrosion/earthquakeresistantTMTrebarsforconstruc-tion, high tensile plates for hydel powerprojects and high yield strength(SAILMA550HI)plates,SUP-11A/9gradespring steel for the auto sector, environ-ment-friendly C-5 coated CRNO sheets,armoursteelplatesforthedefencesector,boron-treated aluminium-killed low car-bon steel, vanadium micro-alloyed railsfor application in tracks for higher axleload at high speed, low carbon HR coilswith titanium for extra deep drawing.

The company also achieved the lowest-ever energy consumption at 6.95 gigacalories per tonne of crude steel and cokerate at 533 kgs per tonne of hot metal in2007-08 by fine-tuning operational effi-ciencies. Thrust on cost reductionresulted in savings of over Rs 300 crore.Hence SAIL was able to partially offsetthe price increase of inputs such as coal,zinc, nickel, freight charges.

SAIL implemented measures, includ-ing introduction of the IntegratedProject Management system, adoption oflatest monitoring techniques and em-ployee empowerment, to ensure smoothimplementation of its expansion andmodernisation plan, which will takeSAIL’s annual hot metal productioncapacity to over 26 million tonne from thelevel of 14 million tonne by 2011-12.

“SAIL has been at the forefront indeveloping new grades of quality steelincluding for projects of national impor-tance. Some of the products during 2007-08includeearthquakeresistantTMTandwire rods with improved corrosion resis-tance, vanadium micro-alloyed rails forapplication in tracks for higher axle loadat high speed, steel armour plates for thedefence sector,” says SK Roongta, chair-man SAIL.

THE year 2007-08 marked the 100years of existence of India’s oldestlargest integrated private sector

steel company—Tata Steel Ltd.Established in 1907, Tata Steel today isamong the lowest cost producers of steelin the world.

The present decade has marked sev-eral joint ventures for the company,as well as some big ticket acquisitions,especially that of UK’s Corus Plc in April2007. With this acquisition, Tata Steel,with a crude steelmaking capacity of 28.1million tonne per annum, became thesixth largest steel company in the world,with a presence in several countriesacross continents.

In the financial year 2007-08, TataSteelhadincludedCorus’financialsinitsconsolidated accounts for the first time.Consolidated net sales for FY 2007-08stoodatRs1,31,536crore($33billion).Theconsolidated net profit was Rs 12,350crore. On a stand alone basis, Tata Steel’snet sales grew 12% to Rs 19,693.28 croreagainst Rs 17,551.09 crore in FY 2007. Netprofit for the year was Rs 4,687.03 croreagainst Rs 4,222.15 crore in FY 2007.

The company, during the year, alsocompleted its long-term financingprogramme for its Corus acquisition.Of the total enterprise value of $14.2billion, the financing included around$10.5 billion as bridge funding, the bal-ance applied out of Tata Steel’s own cashand borrowings.

Going ahead, Tata Steel’s long-termraw material strategy will see the syner-gies of combined buying come into play.Tata Steel meets all of its current iron oreand 60% of its coal requirement forIndian operations from its own mines.While Tata Steel’s stand alone raw mate-rial security is 80%, it was 22% for TataSteel Group in 2007.

“With the global demand for finishedsteel growing dramatically in the lastfew years, the need for securing rawmaterials efficiently and effectively hasbecome increasingly important,” saidTata Steel’s group director (global miner-

als), Arun Baijal in the annual report.In keeping with the group’s raw

material strategy, the company hadfinalised the following agreementsin FY 2007-08. In November 2007, theTata Steel group entered into definitiveagreements with Riversdale MiningLtd for a 35% stake in Mozambique Coalprojects for a purchase considerationof $84 million, where the group willhave the right to a 40% offtake forcoking coal.

In December 2007, the group enteredinto a joint venture with Sodemi for an85% stake for the development of an ironore project in Cote d’lvoire, with Sodemiholding a 15% stake (Ivory Cost - iron oredeposits).AndinJanuary2008,TataSteelGroup entered into a joint venture agree-ment with the shareholders of Al RimalMining LLC for a 70% stake in the com-pany (Oman limestone project).

Currently, the global steel industryis going through unprecedented times.Post the steep run up in the steel pricesbeginning January 2008, steel priceshave collapsed over the last 3-4 monthsowing to the sharp fall in the spotprices and uncertainty over demand onaccount of the adverse global macro-economic factors.

Tata Steel’s long-term greenfield ex-pansion plans at Jharkhand and Chattis-garh are on hold, except Orissa Phase I,which is to be completed by 2011.

Meanwhile, Tata Steel enhancedcapacity from 5 MTPA to 7 MTPA duringthe 1st half of FY2009 with the settingup of the new H-Blast furnace. The com-pany expects to further raise its steelcapacity to 10 MTPA by December 2010at Jamshedpur.

Going ahead, Tata Steel will continueits cost competitiveness due to Indiansources of raw material and skilled lowcostlabourandwillalsoimplementrapidlow cost implementation programmes.

And, as the financial year 2008-09unfolds, news that the company hasimproved its production keeps pouringin. It has recorded a 47% rise in sales inFebruary 2009, compared with sales inthe corresponding month of 2008

Our focus is on creatingvalue for clients, runningan optimised business,and evolving ourbusiness model that willallow us to emergestronger.S GOPALAKRISHNANCEO and MD, Infosys

FE Bureau

OVER the years, Infosys Techno-logies has come to represent allthat is good with India Inc. High

growth, strong values and transparentcorporate governance. So, even when thetimesaretough, thecompanymanagestoreport strong numbers.

The second-largest IT services com-pany in India is also among the fastestgrowing IT services organisation in theworld. It is a clear leader in the offshoreservices space with a pioneer in theglobal delivery model. “Our global deliv-ery model along with our consulting andsolution capabilities provides a strongplatform for our customers seeking effi-cienciesintheirITspend,”saidSGopala-krishnan, CEO and MD Infosys.

Apart from providing business con-sulting, application development andmaintenance and engineering servicesto more than 500 clients across 29 coun-tries, the company has also its own pro-prietary core banking software - Finacle.

For the financial year 2007-08, whenthe impact of the global financial melt-down was not so pronounced, the com-pany managed to grow its revenues to Rs15,648 crore from Rs 13,149 crore in theprevious year, at a growth rate of 19%.

The company’s software exportrevenues aggregated Rs 15,429 crore, upby 19% from Rs 12,935 crore in theprevious year. Of these, 63.1% of therevenues came from North America,26.9% from Europe, and 8.6% from therest of the world.

The move to de-risk the businesssources and have a balanced revenuestream from different geographies hasseen that the revenue from Europeincreased from Rs 3,393 crore to Rs 4,207crore, with a growth rate of 24%, whichwas higher than the other regions.

The company continued to reap thebenefits of economies of scale. The netprofit after tax and exceptional item in2007-08 was Rs 4,470 crore (28.6% of rev-enue) as against Rs 3,783 crore (28.8% ofrevenue) in the previous year. The factthat Infosys manages to exceed customer

expectations can be seen from the factthat it derived 97% of its revenues fromrepeat business. The total client base atthe end of the year stood at 538. Also,Infosys has been named as the best com-pany in India in corporate governance inThe Asset Magazine’s annual CorporateGovernance Index 2008.

And, at the end of 2007-08, the com-panyhad310million-dollarclients(275inthepreviousyear),141five-million-dollarclients (107), 89 ten-million-dollar clients(71), 18 fifty-million-dollar clients (12),and 6 hundred-million-dollar clients (3).

The revenues for the third quarter ofthe 2008-09 stood at Rs 5,786 crore, anincrease of 35.5% from the correspond-ing quarter last fiscal. The sequentialrevenue growth was 6.8%.

However, the impact of the globalmeltdown will be felt in the current yearand there are many who are even con-templating the possibility of the com-pany recording a fall in revenues.But then there are signs that it mightactually not.

Infosys added 5,997 employees on agross basis versus the 4,500 employeeguidanceinthethirdquarterof financialyear 2008-09. The management has men-tioned that it would recruit 27,000 peopleas against the earlier guidance of 25,000.Ithaswonfourlargedealsinexcessof $50millionandiscurrentlypursuing10suchlarge deals. Little wonder then thatGopalkrishnan said after the third quar-ter results, “While there could be chal-lenges due to global economicuncertainties, we as a company see sig-nificant growth opportunities in themedium to long term.”

As a part of the efforts of the manag-ment to increase transparency anddisclosure levels in in financial report-ing, it has started the practice of addingrelating to detailed information on its‘cash and bank balances’ in its financialstatements from this quarter. Andthus, Infosys creates yet another firstin the annals of Indian corporatehistory and sets the standards high forcorporate governance, especially indistressed times.

BEFORE the turn of the nineties,ITC was known primarily for itsstrong presence in the cigarette

segment and a marginal presence in thehotel industry. Over the past few years,the company has metamorphosed itselfinto a diversified entity with strong pres-ence in the agricultural sector. Its inte-grated development approach andaggressive penetration in the FMCG andfoods sector has left many establishedplayers astounded.

This diversification is reflected in thefactthatthenetrevenuesforthefinancialyear 2007-08 at Rs 13,947.53 crore, grew by14.7%, driven by a robust 48.6% growth inthe non-cigarette FMCG businesses, anda steady performance by the hotels andpaperboards, paper and packaging seg-ments. The non-cigarette portfolioaccounted for 52.4% of the company’s netrevenues. And this translated into a netprofit of Rs 3,120.10 crore, a growth of15.6% over the previous financial year.

The group’s focus on the agri-sector isnot just to cater to the domestic market.The ITC Group’s contribution to foreignexchange earnings over the last decadeamounts to nearly $3.2 billion, of whichagri exports constitute 60%. “Earningsfrom agri exports are an indicator ofITC’s contribution to the rural economyby effectively linking small farmers withinternational markets,” said YCDeveshwar, chairman ITC at the annualgeneral meeting in July 2008.

TheITC‘ChoupalPradarshanKhet’,acollaborative and paid agri extensionservice, aimed at enhancing farm pro-ductivity through the adoption of bestpractices in agriculture, grew exponen-tially by 210% during 2007-08, covering43,500 hectares.

And not just that, the company’saggressive penetration and brand cre-ationintheFMCGandbrandedpackagedfood business has caught the eye. In thesalty snacks segment Bingo has sales ofRs 300 crore with a market share ofaround 13%, in the confectionaries seg-ment Candyman and Minto are market

leaders with sales of Rs 200 crore, in thebiscuits segment Sunfeast is the numberthree player with sales of around Rs 1,000crore and Aashirwad has more than a50% market share with sales of Rs 900crore. And all this has been achievedwithin a couple of years.

In fact, within a year’s launch ITC hasalready gained around 2.5% of the mar-ket share in the soaps segments and isexpected to reach around 3.5% marketshare within the next two quarters.

Closer to the quarter, when the FMCGand hotels division performed in an ordi-nary manner, the cigarettes divisionboosted its performance. The cigarettesegment net sales were up 17.7% in thethird quarter of the current financialyear and profit before interest and tax(PBIT) grew by 18% to Rs 1,134.1 crore.This is because of the relative in-elasticdemand for cigarettes, allowing the com-pany to gain from price increases.Moreover, it has an 80% share of the ciga-rette segment.

The third quarter did cast concernsover the non-cigarette FMCG revenuesand also from the hotel business. Thefocus would be on growing the agri-business further and also expandingthe hotels. ITC WelcomHeritage, a jointventure between ITC and MarudharHotels of Jodhpur will be taking upthree heritage locations in India at atime when there is a pronounced slow-down in the sector. Wills Lifestyle, thelifestyle retailing business, is alreadyleveraging ITC’s properties across thecountry to build specialty outlets andthese are expected to generate substan-tial returns, say analysts.

The going was never easy, but then asDeveshwar puts it, “The path to realisinga new paradigm of high growth is strewnwith several fundamental challenges.These can seriously undermine thegrowth process and derail the pace ofprogress in the coming years. Unless wetake impactful strides in resolving thesechallengesthroughfocussedpolicyinter-vention and radical innovation, we standthe unfortunate prospect of undoingmany of the gains made so far.”

In its quest forexcellence with ethics,the company is makingefforts to take economicgrowth and the growthof the energy markets tothe common man.U D CHOUBEYCMD, GAIL

FE Bureau

FROM being a mere gas transporterat the start of operations, GAILIndia has come a long way in

becoming a diversified gas solutionsprovider and will be looking at diver-sifying aggressively into building capac-ity in petrochemical and city gas areas.And, in many ways, tap the potential thatthe natural gas sector has to offer.Speakingaboutthisattheannualgeneralmeeting, UD Choubey, chairman andmanagingdirectorsaid,“Thenaturalgassector is progressively opening up andthere is considerable dynamism in thepolicy and regulatory environment.These changes present significant chal-lenges as well as opportunities in thecoming years.”

GAIL is India’s largest natural gastransmission company, operating a gaspipelinenetworkof over4,600kmsacrossIndia. The company dominates the gassector, transporting 90% of the totalgas transported through pipeline inIndia. Over the past decade, the companyhas managed a compounded annualgrowth rate of 13% in revenues and 10%in net profits.

For the financial year 2007-08 it got inrevenues worth Rs 18,008 crore, whichis 12% higher than the previous yearand earned a net profit of Rs 2,601 crore,which again is 9% higher than theprevious year.

However, in the silver jubilee year, themanagement intends to take the com-pany to new heights and has chalked outan ambitious plan. “Three focus areasdecided by the Board and TopManagement Team (TMT) have beenidentified as, (i) enhancing transmissionand distribution capabilities, (ii) petro-chemicals and (iii) city gas and CNGactivities,” said Choubey.

These three businesses will be at thecore of the company’s competence innatural gas-related businesses and isnot an unrelated diversification. At thesame time, it has the ability to capturethe huge capacity expansion expectedin this sector.

On the one hand, GAIL has hugecapacity expansion plans. These approx-imately add up to around Rs 28,000 croreover the next five years. And this isexpected to increase the transmissioncapacity from current 150 mmscmd to 346mmscmd.

And, this expansion is expectedto capture the opportunity thrown inby the twofold increase in the productionof natural gas. It also has linkageswith the Reliance Industries’ KG6 basingas production and will be a majorbeneficiary when gas operations areat full swing.

Moreover, the government, in the pre-vious year has permitted the company todistribute gas in as many as 230 citiesacross the country. At its AGM inSeptember (FY08) GAIL announced theincrease in its petchem capacity to 500KTA and further to 800KTA.

GAIL’s existing and large plans forcity gas distribution and even E&P willprovide the company with in-built busi-ness hedges. The management will,apart from developing city gas infra-structure, be building gas corridors onnational highways. Through this, thecompany plans to add 17 cities in thefirst phase of expansion over the nexttwo years.

So, when the petrochemical cycle isdown, like it is at the moment, theincrease in gas transportation and therevenues from the city gas business willhold it in good stead.

However, at the moment, there are alot of concerns over near-term profitabil-ity. This is due to the overall economicslowdown and the delay in commission-ing of some key gas production units likethe RIL KG6 basin gas.

But then when the cycle turns, thecompany, which was adjudged the “GasUtility in Asia” and also finds its way inthe prestigious Platts Top 250 GlobalEnergy Companies list, will be in a posi-tion to reap most benefits and take itsvision forward. Chairman Choubey andteam have a vision of taking the com-pany’s revenues beyond Rs 50,000 croreby 2011-12.

WIPROisanorganisationthathasliterally metamorphosed overthe past six decades. It all

started off in the pre-independence eraas a manufacturing unit of hydrogener-ated vegetable oil, later grew into a diver-sified consumer care products companyand then in 1975 into hydraulics engi-neering. It was only in 1980 that the com-pany stepped into the informationtechnology sphere and has now becomeone of India’s largest players.

It is in all spheres of operations, espe-ciallyintheITbusinessthatthecompanyhas created an indelible impact. In thefinancial year 2007-08, Wipro’s combinedIT businesses grew 43% to cross $4.3 bil-lion in revenues. Its global IT businessdelivered 38% growth (in dollar terms)and its India, Middle East and Asia Pac ITbusiness grew by 51%. Speaking aboutthis, chairman Azim Premji said in hisletter to stakeholders, “Achieving theselandmarks, in a tough environment forour technology business and unprece-dented currency appreciation of therupee, was satisfying. Extending ourtrack record set over the decades was par-ticularly rewarding.

During the financial year endingMarch 2008, the company’s revenuesgrew by 34% to Rs 20,397 crore and the netprofit by 12% to Rs 3,282.9 crore. Over thelastdecade,Wipro’srevenueshavegrownat a compounded rate of 31% and its netprofit even faster at 41%, something thatvery few organisations can match. Forthis Premji said, “In Wipro, we look atmilestones that reflect value as seen byour customers. 2007-08 saw another yearof impressive performance by Wiproites.We delivered all-round growth, built andsustained leadership while continuing toinvest for the future.”

The global IT services and productssegment revenue was Rs 13,641.7 crore,of which Rs 11,955.6 crore was from ITservices, Rs 1,157 crore from BPOservices and the balance Rs 529.1 crorefrom acquisitions made. During thecurrent year, the company earned 54.4%

of revenue from work done in locationsoutside India (onsite) and remaining45.6% of revenue from the work per-formed from our development centres inIndia (offshore”).

However, with the global meltdownand the extremely volatile currency, alot of firms in the IT sector have startedfeeling the heat and Wipro is also oneof them. For the third quarter of finan-cial year 2008-09, the company has postedsteady results, rather detached fromthe flamboyant numbers declaredearlier. Revenues for the quarter endedDecember 31, 2008, were at Rs 6,618 crore,representing a 25% increase over thesame quarter of the previous year andnet profit was Rs 1,004 crore, an 18%increase.

To challenge these testing times, themanagement has outlined a few mea-sures, which it presented to analysts.These included a set of non-linear strate-gies, including infrastructure services,diversification in R&D services andprocess transformation initiatives.Apart from that there has been a restruc-turing of business processes and also themanagement team.

The management would be broadbas-ing their R&D services and diversifyingfrom offering telecom and high-tech-ori-ented services to include automotive andaerospace. It would also be assimilatingpooling consulting capabilities from var-ious verticals within the company.Analysts say that Wipro has already cre-ated a consulting unit with around 1,000employees. This could easily be amongstthe largest consulting units across sectorleaders, reckon analysts. Importantly,the Global Program Management unitwill target large IT contracts coming upfor renewal.

Going ahead, Premji reckons, “We areliving in tough times; the macro-eco-nomic challenges are significant andimpacting businesses across segments.However, recessions do not last, resilientcompanies do. I am confident Wiproitesare resilient to withstand the near-termchallenges posed by an uncertain envi-ronment and come out stronger.”

CORPORATE profits witnessedmoderate growth in FY2007-08.India's GDP grew by 9% as com-

pared to 9.4% in the previous year. Themain drivers of growth were the manu-facturing services and constructionsectors. The overall manufacturingsector recorded a growth of 8.8% ascompared to 12.3% in the previous year.Overall economic buoyancy, togetherwith bullish domestic equity capitalmarkets, boosted investor sentiments,attracting robust capital inflows intothe economy.

Profits at every level - operating,gross, before tax and after, was higher

than the sales growth for the FE 500.Margins were healthy and increased in2007-08. The operating profits of the 500companies increased by 21.08 % (on anannualised basis) to Rs 3.68 lakh crorein 2007-08 from the level of Rs 3.04 lakhcrore in 2006-07. The gross profits of the500 companies sprinted by 20.14% in2007-08 when sales cantered at the rela-tively less speedy pace of 17.69%. Inabsolute terms, gross profits increasedfrom Rs 2.78 lakh crore in 2006-07 to Rs3.34 lakh crore in 2007-08. On the whole,the bigger companies garnered biggerprofits with a higher growth rate.

The operating profit of the first 100(according to composite ranks) compa-nies increased by 20.18%. The next two

groups of 100 registered profits at thegrowth of 27.10%, 26.56% respectively.The fourth group saw an increase of19.04%. And the last group of 100 sawthe lowest growth of 14.50%.

On the other hand, the gross profitsof the first 100 companies grew at19.50%. The next group of 100 saw prof-itsriseatthehigherpaceof 26.01%.Thethirdgroupof 100sawalowergrowthof25.25% in gross profit. And the fourthgroup showed an increase of 15.53% initsgrossprofit.Thelastgroupsawasin-gle digit growth of 8.77% in gross profitduring 2007-08.

The Top 10 (according to compositeranks) recorded a growth rate of17.72% in operating profit and 17.70%

ingrossprofit -slowerthantheFE500asa whole. In terms of gross profit, theshare of the Top 10 in the aggregatedeclined from 40.17% in 2006-07 to39.36% in 2007-08.

The Top 10 in terms of gross profitswere ONGC, Reliance Inds, Indian Oil,SAIL, NTPC, Bharti Airtel, Tata Steel,Hindustan Zinc, TCS and InfosysTechnologies.

Within the group, six companies -namely NTPC, Bharti Airtel, SAIL,Tata Steel, Infosys Technologies andTCS have interchanged their positions.Four others had unchanged ranks from2006-07.Thehighestrateof riseingrossprofits was reported by DCM ShriramConsolidated (406.26%), DLF (399.17%),Nilkamal (327.58%), Eveready Inds (I)(322.11%), Sanwaria Agro Oils (257.48%), Jindal Saw (207.21%), Flaw-less Diamonds (206.33%) and IndiaGlycols (186.63%). Most of these fantas-tic numbers, however, represent statis-tical achievements rather than realgrowth because of the very low base ofprofits in the 2006-07.

The aggregate profits before tax(PBT) of the FE 500 rose even fasterthan operating profit. PBT grew by22.19% from Rs 2.21 lakh crore (on anannualised basis) in 2006-07 to Rs 2.71lakh crore in 2007-08. There were alsofewer loss makers during the year. Thenumber of companies reporting in thered at the PBT Level were 23 in 2007-08.

Significantratesof riseinPBTwere

registered by DCM Shriram Consoli-dated (894.27%), Nilkamal (861.56%),Eskay KniT(I) (467.64%), ITD Cementa-tion(I) (461.75%), JK Tyre Inds(456.01%), DLF (402.62%), India Glycols(313.53%), Sanwaria Agro Oils(275.54%), Punj Lloyd (265.05%) andJayaswal Neco Industries (250.17%).

The FE 500 performed significantlybetter in the bottomline number ofprofit after tax (PAT), with RelianceIndustries leading the way. But in oper-ating profit, gross profit and PBT,ONGC was way ahead of the others.

Reliance Inds earned Rs 19,458 crore inpost-tax profits in 2007-08.

The Top 10 (according to compositeranks) raised PAT by 21.54% from Rs62,555 crore (on an annualised basis) in2006-07 to Rs 76,031 crore in 2007-08. TheFE 500 as a group increased PAT by22.53%,fromRs1.65lakhcroretoRs2.02lakh crore during the same period. Inthe ultimate analysis, though, whatmatters is not the size of profits (a bigcompany should earn more profits any-way), but profitability. This can be mea-sured in many ways, with return onsales (PAT as percentage of net sales),return on assets (gross profits as per-centage of assets) and operating profitmargin (operating profit as a percent-age of net sales) being the main ratios.In 2007-08, profitability was clearly up,with as many as 37 companies report-ing over 30% return on assets. Mentionmay be made of Sesa Goa (71.56%),NMDC (69.92%) and Nestle (50.72%).

In terms of return on sales (PATto net sales), 22 companies against20 last year had ratios above 30%.Notable among them were NMDC(56.92%), Hindustan Zinc (55.80%) andDLF (46.53%).

In terms of OPM, 81 companiesreported over 30% during 2007-08.Mention may be made of NMDC(88.12%), Hindustan Zinc (80.07%) andSun Network (79.30%).

These can well be called the mostprofitable companies of 2007-08.

THE FE 500 list has been compiledfrom largely published balance-sheets of companies, which

closed their last financial year betweenApril 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008. And forsome companies, June 2008 figureshave been considered. It includes allprivate and public sector companies(excluding non-banking finance com-panies and banks) that are listed on the markets and whose balance-sheets were available by end-December2008.

In the tables that follow, any refer-ence to 2008 (current) refers to thefinancial year 2007-08 and the sameholds for 2007 (previous). Where com-panies had financial years that wereless than 12 months or more than 12, theresults have been annualised to arriveat a comparable figure.

For the purposes of our study, theranking has been done on the basis ofNet Sales, which is sales or mainincome minus excise duty. Salesinclude service charges and leaseincome.

Assets relate to fixed assets (land,buildings, machinery, etc) plus capitalwork-in-progress, cash and bank bal-ances, loans and other debtor balances,investments and other intangibleassets, excluding accumulated lossesand advance tax provisions.

Operating Profit is arrived at bycalculating gross profit plus interest.

Gross Profit is arrived at by calcu-lating profit before tax (PBT) plusdepreciation. Deduct taxes (includingdeferred taxes) from the PBT figure andyou get the profit after tax (PAT). PATminus dividends gives us RetainedProfit.

Market Capitalisation is the mar-

ket value of a company's outstandingshares based on closing market pricesas on January 30, 2009.

Net Worth is the paid-up capital(equity and preference) plus totalreserves and surplus excluding accu-mulated losses.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) refer toPAT divided by the number of out-standing equity shares.

Debt includes all long-term loans,including debentures, plus instalmentcredit. Thus the Debt-Equity Ratiorefers to debt divided by net worth.

Return on Sales is PAT as a per-centage of net sales, while the ReturnOn Assets is gross profit as a percent-age of assets.

The Return On Net Worth(RONW) represents PAT as a percent-age of net worth.

OPM represents operating profit asa percentage of net sales.

Caveats and limitations

CORPORATE India has beengoing through turmoil in the last few months, thanks to the

global financial meltdown and the subsequent credit squeeze. With thefall of the capital markets, all hope ofraising money from the public haddried up. Banks became more cautiousin lending to corporates, especially insectors like real estate where demanddipped drastically. Raising debt thusbecame a matter of concern for com-panies that had planned large scaleacquisitions and aggressive expan-sions.The best way forward in the slow-down, companies reckoned, is toconserve cash, focus on strengtheningcore businesses, re-align business byselling off non-core businesses, andrestructuring.

Some of the recent developments inthe corporate world point to this fact.Reliance Industries (RIL) has an-nounced that it will merge its listedentity, Reliance Petroleum (RPL) withitself at a swap ratio of 1:16. BhartiAirtel is reportedly planning to rejigoperations and create nine verticals.Hindalco, the flagship company of theAditya Birla Group is going in for afinancial restructuring so that the hugecosts incurred by it in overseas acquisi-tions do not overburden it. The TataGroup, meanwhile has already sig-naled that it is bracing itself for thedownturn, when its chairman RatanTata wrote to senior company officialsthat they need to curb investmentswhich are not absolutely necessary. It isalso interesting to see some familyowned businesses are also using theopportunity to patch up differences

within the family.Says Sidharth Punshi, managing

director & country head, Jeffries India,“This is a tough time for corporates.The economies have shrunk, and thegrowth forecast has been impacted.Financing was done when it wascheaply and readily available, now it’sbecome tough.” He sees a large shift inthe manner in which companies wouldthink and operate in the future. “Wewill see more restructuring happenglobally and in India. Large conglomer-ates facing pressure on their balancesheets will consider restructuring ofdebts or selling of non-core assets.”

Many industry observers feel thatthe RIL-RPL merger had more to dowith the current downturn than any-thing else. Analysts were stumped bythe timing of the announcement, eventhough an eventual merger of the twocompanies was expected. One analystsaid that RPL's business had beenunder pressure and may show a declineby the end of the year. “The mergerwould help bring down the cyclicalityof its business and add strength to thebalance sheet,” said an analyst. It isalso said that the move was being con-sidered since markets ascribe highervaluation for integrated energy compa-nies vis-à-vis standalone refiners,owing to better competitive positionand reduced earnings volatility. Simul-taneously, Chevron also decided to sellits 5% stake in RPL back to RIL, foraround $270 million (Rs 1,377 crore).

Meanwhile, Hindalco said inFebruary that the company will under-take a financial restructuring exerciseto earmark, allocate and credit anamount to business reconstructionreserve account. Hindalco had

acquired Canadian aluminium prod-uct maker Novelis for $5.9 billion in2007 in an all-cash transaction, whichalso included a debt of $2.4 billion. ButNovelis reported a net loss of $1.8 bil-lion in the third quarter of FY09, whichincluded non-cash, pre-tax charges of$1.5 billion for goodwill impairment,80% of that is attributed to the rise inthe cost of capital. Novelis is the firstIndian company to report goodwillimpairment, caused by the stock mar-ket crash and economic slowdown. TheNovelis loss will be written off againstthe share premium account inHindalco’s books.

According to Raju Bhinge, CEO,Tata Strategic Management Services,companies will now take a hard look atthe way they have been functioning sofar. “Most companies will be looking attheir balance sheets—at their operat-ing assets, current assets and theinvestment schedule,” he said in a

recent interview. “They will look at allcomponents more closely, like sub-sidiaries, associate companies, invest-ment stake, equity or real estateholdings. There might be divisions andunits within companies that could bespun off. A great deal will depend on thetiming.”

Although companies will move cau-tiously when it comes to large scaleinvestments and big ticket acquisitionsin the slowdown, there is a lot of scopefor firms to also look at buys that aregood strategic fits, say experts. AjayDhankhar, partner, McKinsey & Co Inc,said that although the popular notion isthat companies should conserve asmuch as cash at the moment since theseare recessionary times, certain pru-dent investments can bring in richrewards. He cited the examples ofPfizer's acquisition of Wyeth and theRoche-Genentech deal recently to showhow planned investments should not be

put off citing recessionary pressures.How has the downturn impacted

corporate deals? According to GrantThornton, the total value of deals(M&A and PE) announced in the calendar year 2008 was $41.54 billion as against $70.14 billion and $28.16 bil-lion in 2007 and 2006 respectively. Thislooks disappointing, but consideringthat just a handful of deals in the previ-ous year had contributed much ofchunk of investments, experts feel thatall is not lost.

Harish V, partner, Grant Thorntonsays that the momentum is expected toreturn, especially in emerging marketslike India. “With moderating inflation,lowering of interest rates, timely inter-vention by federal governments acrossthe globe to provide financial stimulus,lowering of key commodity pricesespecially oil, we expect (and hope) thatthe markets will resume their growthmomentum globally and particularly

in emerging markets like India,” hesaid in a recent report.

So, which are the areas to be watchful about? “Companies withheavy debt positions that will confrontexpensive roll over provisions becauseof tightness of liquidity have prob-lems. Companies that chase valuationsrather than have fundamental businessvalue, also have problems,” saysShumeet Banerji, CEO, Booz &Company. “You should be very clear, inbad times, as to what businesses youwill be in now, or will enter when thingslook better,” he adds.

So, overall, this is a test by fire forIndia Inc. Some of the most iconic con-cepts as well as companies have drop-ped by the road, causing muchconfusion and chaos. But this also pro-vides a window of opportunity for com-panies that would want to come out ofthe slowdown—leaner, nimble, moreproductive and innovative.
