GLOBAL MACROECONOMIC SCENARIO

2021 was a year of recovery and resilience with a changing macroeconomic dynamics across the world. The recovery was supported by robust consumer spending and uptake in investments, which had come to a halt in 2020 amidst lockdown measures worldwide. The global economy grew by 5.5% in 2021, the highest growth rate since 1976. However, the growth has been weakened considerably since the end of 2021. This weakening is on account of higher inflation due to disruptions in supply chain along with increasing demand and higher commodity prices. The recent shift in monetary policy by the central banks around the world to control the inflationary pressures has further weakened the momentum and increased uncertainty of economic recovery. According to IMF, the global economy is expected to grow at 3.6% in 2022. The geopolitical conflicts, increasing food and fuel pricing pressure and worsening supply-demand imbalance have increased overall risks to economic prospects and policy trade-offs have become more challenging. Going forward, the central bank policy rates are expected to rise further as policy makers tightened existing monetary measure which in result is exerting pressure on emerging market and developing economies. According to the IMF, the advanced economies are projected to grow at 3.3% in 2022 and 2.4% in 2023 whereas, the emerging economies are expected to post a growth rate of 3.8% in 2022 and 4.4% in 2023, respectively.

INDIAN ECONOMY

FY2022 for Indian economy started with signs of strong recovery amid rapid vaccination progress, less stringent social restrictions and supportive fiscal and monetary stances. During April-December 2021, the economy grew at 10.9% as compared to a contraction of 9.9% in same period last year. The growth was mainly driven by fixed investment, private consumption and robust exports growth. However, according to National Statistical Office (NSO), the growth has been declined in Q4 FY2022, impacted by weak rural demand, global geopolitical tension, its effects on supply chains, sharp rise in the inflation and shortage of coal, power and semiconductor. Owing to drastically altered economic environment, the Indian economy is expected to grow at 8.9% in FY2022 as compared to contraction of 6.6% in FY2021, above its prepandemic (2019-20) level by just 1.8%. While Indias direct trade and financial exposures are modest, indirect impact from the slowing global economy, the sharp increase in commodity prices and uncertainty on account of geopolitical developments weigh heavily on the outlook. Considering the growth and inflation outcomes are at high risk, the central bank has started tapering liquidity by tightening policy rates for the first time in nearly four years. According to IMF Indian economy is expected to grow at 8.2% in 2022, while growth rate is expected to decline at 6.9% in 2023. [Source: RBI, NSO and IMF]

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND SEGMENT DISCUSSION: HYDRAULICS:

Dynamatic Hydraulics is one of the worlds largest manufacturers of hydraulic geared products with state-of-art manufacturing facilities located in India, the UK and the USA. This division manufactures widest range of hydraulic gear pumps in aluminium and cast iron in multipale frame sizes, pressure and flow ratings and designed bespoke for each application, high speed low torque motors, hand pumps, hitch control valves, rock shaft assemblies, lube and water pumps, mobile control valves, orbitrols and complete hydraulic solutions for the Indian and overseas markets.

Industry Overview and Outlook:

Farm Mechanisation:

After a buoyant 2021, the tractors volume in India marginally declined in 2022. In addition to a higher base of FY21, the second wave of Covid-19 was more pronounced in the major states of India (Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat) which collectively account for 56% of the tractors sold in India. This impacted the demand for tractor in Q1 FY2022. Unlike traditional peak period in the month of May and June, the industry could not recover from this setback. The pandemic situation along with extreme weather conditions for the domestic agriculture sector has further impacted sector demand. In addition, the segment was also impacted by manpower shortages, skilled-workforce migration, inflation, raw material availability and logistics issues.

Despite this unfavourable scenario, the industry continued to report strong demand for power steering tractors and increasing use of tractors in non-farming sector. The growth in the demand for power-steering tractors is predominantly on the back of increasing use of tractors as multi-utility vehicles, particularly in the construction activities.

For the FY2023, the industry is expected to grow at high single digit growth. The macroeconomic tailwinds mostly remain intact for the rural economy, including the normal monsoon forecast, the expectation of a strong Kharif harvest and improved rural income.

Going forward, with large room for the farm mechanisation in India, increasing use of tractors in non- agriculture activities, improving demand for Indian medium HP tractors from other countries and higher investments in infrastructure development across the world are expected to fuel the tractor industry growth in the near term.

Construction and Material Handling:

Construction equipment sales declined by ~12% in FY2022 compared to last year due to rising steel prices impacting demand. The earthmoving equipment segment which accounts for nearly three-fourths of the total construction equipment sales in India declined 14%, while road construction equipment sales were lower by 10% during FY2022. However, material handling, material processing and concrete equipment registered positive growth during the year. Exports of construction equipment also increased significantly by 60% in FY2022.

Going forward, a strong recovery is anticipated during FY2023 on the back of low base effect as well as an enhanced export potential and the governments continued thrust on infrastructure development through National Infrastructure Pipeline, Gati Shakti Masterplan, National Monetisation Plan, constitution of National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID). However, with increasing raw material prices such as steel, bitumen and cement, the industry may experience some margin pressure.

Dynamatic designs and builds pumps and motors for construction equipment sector. At present market share of the Company is very limited in this segment. Going forward, we look forward to this sector as a good opportunity to explore new products, new application and new markets

Segment Overview:

Dynamatic Hydraulic manufactures high precision hydraulic aggregates for tractors, construction equipment, material handling and machine tool industries. The Company has three state-of-art manufacturing facilities at Bengaluru for Geared Products- Pumps and Motors, Integrated Hydraulic solutions like hitch control valves, Rockshaft Assemblies and Power Units for defence applications. This manufacturing facility is supported by a very advanced design, R&D Center and a rapid prototyping laboratory.

The Company continues to enjoy a major market share of ~75% in the organized Indian tractor industry and is the partner of choice for almost all the tractor OEMs globally. It also designs and builds complete hydraulic solutions incuding hydraulic hitch control valve with draft control and complete rockshaft assembly for the agricultural tractors.

The demand for power steering tractors is expected to continue to grow faster than the volume growth in the industry in the domestic market. Additionaly, there is an increasing global demand for mid size tractors produced in India. Industry will thus witness a steady growth in exports.

Dynamatic has strategically entered into this business and enhanced its capacity further to produce pumps for the steering requirement. With a healthy share of business and increase in global foot print on geared products, the Company is now focussed on wallet share per equipment offering complete hydraulic package to its OEMs. This will continue to be our key focus in next few years.

Furthermore, with given growth potential in the construction equipment sector, Dynamatic is investing in the development of high pressure, heavy-duty cast iron pumps to cater to the construction equipment sector. These products are in various stages of development and testing, which will cater to the global OEMs. Some of these products are currently undergoing trials with various global OEMs.

During the FY2022, the Hydraulics segment recorded a robust top line growth of more than 42% compared to last year coupled with significant improvement in the profitability for the period. The margin enhancement was driven by strong demand across our product portfolio resulting in better product mix. In addition, various cost optimization measures which were undertaken during the previous year have resulted in improved efficiencies.

Dynamatic Hydraulics, Swindon, UK, recorded 25% top line growth with revenue of GBP 12.1 Million. This was driven by post pandemic recovery of the region allowing the Company to operate at optimal levels, start of new projects with full scale production, improved market and demand in the US.

Looking forward, the year 2023 is expected to report a favourable growth in India and the UK supported by increasing use of technology and automation across the industries. However, disrupted global supply chain, higher commodity prices, labour shortages are anticipated to impact margins.

In FY2022 Dynamatic Hydraulics received the following awards:

Apr 2021: Silver awards [Two] in 8th Poka Yoke Competition organised by CII

Jun 2021: Silver awards [Two] in 40th KAI-ZEN Competition organised by CII

RISKS & CONCERNS:

Global Economic Uncertainty: Prevailing geopolitical situation has added uncertainty to the overall global economic growth. The last few years were impacted by pandemic which restricted free movement of critical resources across countries. The ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions have created demand-supply mismatch of critical resources resulted into significant inflation globally. The increase in raw material prices and high interest rate scenario has made capital expensive. Dynamatic Technologies has global operations and operates in capital intensive sectors. If the prevailing situation continues for a longer period, it may have impact on the performance of the Company.

Competition: The business environment in which the Company operates is highly competitive in nature. Most OEMs maintain multiple suppliers for their products and do not prefer exclusive contracts. However, Dynamatic Technologies believes that this is not a major concern as they focus on enhancing the quality of the product and ensure customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the longstanding relationship that it has with the global OEMs is an added advantage.

Technological Changes: The Companys products are technology driven and in todays era, the technology is continuously evolving resulting in smaller lifecycle of the related products. The Company is aware of the prevailing risk due to technological advancements and has always focused on R&D. Dynamatic Technologies has a dedicated R&D center of the Company which is engaged in design and prototyping of new products, improvement of existing designs and continuous improvement of existing processes. The Company ensures a close working relationship with its customers to understand their evolving needs and focus on providing suitable products to match their expectations and needs.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations: The Company has global operations and financial transactions. Given the nature and scale of the business, the Companys operations are exposed to various foreign currencies and related volatilities. The volatility in the foreign exchange rates can impact the financial performance and hence the Company is closely monitoring these risks and adopting appropriate hedges / forward contracts to mitigate such risks, whenever required. In addition, the Company also tries to match the revenue and expenses in the same currency to mitigate cross currency exposure and translations.

RISK MANAGEMENT:

Effective risk management is fundamental to the business activities of the group.
