Applicable Accounting Standards and their impact

The financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under the Companies Act, 2013 and other relevant provisions of the Act. The said Accounting Standards became applicable to the Company with effect from 01.04.2016 with date of transition to Ind AS being April 1, 2015. Based on the revised Accounting Standards, comparative figures of the FY 16 have been restated and the Balance Sheet has been compared with the restated position as on 31.03.2016 and 31.03.2015.

The revised Accounting Standards (Ind AS) have not materially affected the financial position of the Company, except due to change in accounting of foreign exchange forward contracts (derivative contract), as could be observed from Note 48 to the Standalone Financial Statements in which reconciliation of profit and equity between previous GAAP and Ind AS has been provided for the financial year 2015-16. Adoption of Ind AS has affected financial statements in respect of the following major areas:

Performance

Business conditions had been challenging during the year in view of sluggish domestic market, impact of demonetisation, global macro economic factors, including uncertainties on account of Brexit, which resulted in delayed finalisation of orders. Despite such odds, it is a matter of satisfaction that Revenue from income operations (gross) has increased by 2.5%.

Geographical composition of Net Sales

The quantum of exports, which is steadily increasing, well indicates that the Company has considerably globalised its operations. The strategy of the Company is two-fold – to enter newer markets for market expansion and to have market visibility and customer confidence for its products and services. The Company intends to achieve this objective through its network of foreign subsidiaries and offices and by being close to customers to showcase its capabilities and to gain their confidence. While there is an encouraging potential for export business, the domestic market can also provide incremental business upon resumption of growth in the capital goods industry. The Government is taking all measures to spur growth in the industrial sector which augurs well for the Company’s business.

Aftermarket Business

It is also the objective of the Company to increase the quantum and proportion of the high margin aftermarket business. Refurbishment of turbines is a focus area and it offers enormous potential for growth. These trends indicate that the Company is well on its way to improve the proportion and has made an effective entry in the export market.

Profitability

During the year, the Company has been able to maintain/ improve all its profitability ratios. It has been made possible due to stringent cost control, higher productivity and value engineering. Increase in Other Income by 33% is primarily due to gains from hedging activities. It is the policy of the Company to substantially hedge the exports exposures with a view to protect the benchmark costing rates and to capture the forward premium so as to improve margins. As hedging margins are considered while quoting to customers, the Company treats such gains as a part of the operating revenue.

Expenses

Raw material consumption

The Raw material consumption as a percentage to Revenues has improved by 260 basis points, due to higher proportion of high margin export sales and aftermarket business. Further, a series of strategic supply chain initiatives has also helped in the reduction of raw material cost. The long term relationships with vendors, sub contractors and other business partners and their efforts to improve their process of manufacture and control on wastages and rejections, help in rationalising the overall landed cost of raw materials and components. Continual value engineering programmes and development of new cost efficient turbines contributed towards reduction of cost.

Personnel cost, Other Expenses Deprecition

Personnel Cost

The increase in personnel cost comprises annual salary increase and additional manpower resources to meet globalisation efforts in sales and marketing as well as in other functional areas to support the overall offerings.

Other Expenses

This comprises Manufacturing expenses, Administrative expenses and Selling expenses. The increase is mainly attributed to expenses incidental to increased exports, increased travel and marketing efforts and to support marketing efforts of the foreign subsidiaries.

Depreciation and Amortisation

There was no significant change in depreciation and amortisation during the year as the major addition to Property Plant and Equipment happened only towards the close of the financial year.
