Ramkrishna Forgings (20-09-2015)
Summary of MM Forgings AGM:
The forging capacity utilization was
around 80% in FY2015. So, the company is in the process of expanding its
forging as well as machining capacity at a cost of Rs 125 crore over
next few months. Under this capex programme, the forging capacity will
expanded to 65000 tonnes per annum. Between 2008-2015 production
capacity was increased to 46000 TPA. Existing plants has enough lands
for future capacity expansion. Growth in manufacturing sector around the
work is expected to be sluggish in 2015-16, which in turn could
adversely impact demand for forgings. However the company could mitigate
this over time with its focus on development of new parts.
Of the
73-76% share of export in sales about 10% is accounted for by South
America and balance is equally from North America and Europe. The South
American market continues to grow. The company is confident of
sustaining the Q1FY15 revenue growth and operating margin for the entire
fiscal. All the factories of the company are located in Tamil Nadu.
Power costs in this state are escalating and supply is erratic. Other
input costs such as raw material and manpower costs are also rising
steeply. The company is relentlessly focuses on bringing costs down
especially energy cost.
By connecting the plants directly to the
grid and by tying up with private sources of power, the company has
effectively eliminated its dependence on highly expensive diesel
generation sets. Only about 15% of power requirement is currently bought
from grid. Similar focus on tool costs, low cost automation are also
yielding fruits. The company is also adopting low cost procurement of
raw material both domestic and overseas. All these are facilitating
margin expansion along with better capacity utilization.
The recent weakness of the rupee would be in favour of the company
but maintaining costs down in FY2015-16 will be a tough as power costs
in TN, where all of the company's plants are located, escalate and
supply continue to be erratic.
MM Forgings Management has indicated 5-7% growth in FY16
Common theme that arise out of both these companies (RKF & MM):
1. Growth will primarily be driven by exports for both the companies.
2. Outlook remains positive as they are undergoing capacity expansion to cater to futuristic demand.
