Many large-cap companies are pursuing growth plans through subsidiaries byadditional investment or demerger
The
quarterly results reveal the financial and operational performance of
companies.Along with the numbers, the notes to accounts accompanying the
quarterly results areequally important as they provide crucial
information to the investors and shareholders.The disclosures include
investors’ grievances, segmental results and matters decidedat board
meetings. Many companies also share off-the-track information through
thesenotes. Hence, it is essential to have a glance at the notes to
accounts to make informeddecision.
The number of firms
revealing critical information through the notes could be small.However,
the quality of information shared could be significantly important for
theinvestors. This comprises operational information such as industry
trend, businessstrategy, factors impacting profitability like raw
material cost, and non-viable plantoperations. Also, companies share key
events like mergers and acquisitions, substantialinvestments made,
commencement of business operations, and contingent
liabilities.Companies also share negative developments like phasing out
of manufacturing operationsand temporary disturbance in production.
Not
only this, the notes to accounts ensure apple-to-apple comparison to
arrive at theright conclusions and appreciate the operational
performance of companies in the correctperspective. One-off profit or
loss either in the quarter under review or in the previousquarter could
make financials non-comparable. This can be fixed as additional
informationabout extraordinary and exceptional items is provided in the
notes to accounts.
Capital Market went
through the notes to accounts accompanying the quarterlyresults of over
1,500 companies that are fairly liquid for the period ended 30 June
2011.For convenience, companies are divided into three categories: large
caps with marketcapitalisation of Rs 10000 crore and above, mid caps
with market capitalisation ofRs 500 crore to Rs 10000, and small caps
with market capitalisation of less thanRs 500 crore. This is the first
part of a two-part series that cover large-capcompanies.
Several
large-cap companies are pursuing growth plans through subsidiaries
includingadditional equity investment in subsidiaries, incorporation of
subsidiary companies,corporate restructuring, dilution of equity stake
in subsidiary, and demerger of businessinto subsidiary company.
Asian
Paints incorporated a subsidiary to form joint venture (JV) with PPG
IndustriesInc, US, to strengthen its industrial business segment. Bharti
Airtel made additionalequity investments in its subsidiaries Bharti
Airtel International (Mauritius), BhartiInternational (Singapore) Pte
Ltd, and Airtel M Commerce Services. So, too, CadilaHealthcare in Zydus
BSV Pharma Pvt Ltd. Infosys Technologies pumped in Rs 58 crore in
theequity capital of its subsidiary, Infosys Technologies (Shanghai)
Company. JSW Steelassigned additional capital of Rs 237.1 crore in
subsidiary, associate and JV companies.On the contrary, Hindustan
Unilever (HUL) diluted its equity stake in its subsidiary,Hindustan
Field Services Pvt Ltd, from 51% to 7.69%.
Godrej
Consumer Products amalgamated wholly-owned subsidiaries Naturesse
Consumer CareProducts and Essence Consumer Care Products with itself. As
against this, HUL approved thedemerger of the FMCG exports business
into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Unilever IndiaExports. This is to
exploit opportunities in the exports market through dedicatedresources.
Mergers
and acquisitions seem to be another crucial activity. Godrej Consumer
Productsentered into an agreement to acquire a majority equity stake in
the Darling group, Africa,which is a market leader in hair extension
products. In a similar transaction, the boardof directors of ABB
approved the acquisition of 100% shares of Baldor Electric India PvtLtd,
Pune, in August 2011.
Ambuja Cements acquired 85% of
Dang Cement Industries Pvt Ltd, Nepal. Ambuja Cementsbought 50% equity
stake in Counto Micrnfine, a JV company, after reporting date, that is30
June 2011. Grasim Industries purchased one-third equity interest in
Aditya Holding AB,Sweden, which, in turn, acquired Domsjo Fabriker AB,
Sweden, a pulp manufacturing company.This is expected to strengthen its
pulp supplies.
Apart from acquisition, Ambuja Cements
commissioned one cement mill of nine lakh-tonnecapacity at its unit at
Chandrapur, Maharashtra. Divi’s Laboratories commencedcommercial
operations at its special economic zone unit at Visakhapatnam in Andhra
PradeshJune 2011.
Firms have also updated their
shareholders about adverse and negative developmentsthrough the notes to
accounts. Castrol India decided to phase out manufacturing activitiesat
its Tamil Nadu due to commercial viability issues. It offered voluntary
retirementscheme to employees, accounting this as ‘Staff cost’. The
firm is in the processof reviewing the usage of plant assets. Grasim
Industries’s production of viscosestaple fibre at its Nagda Plant in
Madhya Pradesh was suspended for almost a month due towater shortage.
Now with the onset of monsoon, operations resumed at full capacity from
30June 2011.
Information about liabilities in the
nature of contingent liabilities has also beenmade available through the
notes to accounts by companies. Certain litigations are goingon for
years. However, such litigations cannot be ignored if the amount
involved is huge,like in the case of pharmaceutical manufacturer Cipla.
The pharmaceutical company isfighting a legal battle with the National
Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority over allegationof overcharging of
certain drugs under the Drug Price Control Order since 2003. The
amountinvolved is Rs 1230 crore for the period July 1995 to April 2009.
In
another case, real estate major DLF received an assessment order for
2008-09 fromthe income tax authorities, with demand of Rs 546.8 crore.
The firm has challenged theorder and no provision has been made in the
books of accounts. A customer of OracleFinancial Services Software has
filed a lawsuit against the company and one of itssubsidiaries, claiming
damages of Rs 544.9 crore. Oracle has raised counterclaims forbreach of
contract and outstanding fees. No provision has been made in this
regard.
One point that needs a mention is that
companies should put the quarterly results in aformat that is legible.
Several companies have posted scanned copies of their quarterlyresults
in PDF format that are not readable.
Investors should
treat the information in the notes to accounts as trigger points andneed
to dig deeper to determine the real impact of the information shared.
Standaloneresults are taken into consideration unless specified
otherwise.
