harish textile engineers ltd share price Management discussions

The purpose of this discussion is to provide an understanding of financial statements and a composite summary of performance of our business. Management Discussion and Analysis (MDA) is structured as follows:

OVERALL REVIEW:

India recovered from the pandemic in FY22 and positioned itself to ascend to the pre-pandemic growth path. During FY23, India faced challenges in reining inflation which was accentuated by the global geopolitical developments. The average retail inflation for FY23 was 6.7 per cent. That India is poised to retain its position as the fastest-growing major economy with a GDP growth estimated at around 7.2% in FY23 and about 6.5% plus GDP in FY24. The economic progress in FY24 will be supported by robust domestic demand and a healthy pick-up in capital formation.

The measure thrust on infrastructure creation in the Union Budget 2023 is expected to have a significant positive impact cascading on multiple sectors.

Geopolitical developments triggered high energy costs in 2022. Also, supply-side disruptions distorted consumer prices. As a result, unreasonable inflation prevailed across the globe - averaging around 9%. Majority of the global central banks tightened the monetary policy to restore price stability.

Rising interest rates and the developments in Eastern Europe will continue to cast a grim shadow on global economic stability, however, the reopening of Chinas economy, higher global demand and slowing inflation projected across certain countries in the year ahead have seemingly paved the way for a healthy recovery.

COMPANY PERFORMANCE/ REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

FY 2022-23 was a landmark year for the company as the top line of the company crossed Rs. 116 crores, this marks for almost 9% Y-o-Y growth in the annual turnover of the company. The Non- Woven business performed exceptionally well showing an annual increase in the turnover by almost 30%. The performance of the PSF division was also increased by approximately 14%. The Company is taking appropriate cost optimisation measure, the management expects that the Engineering division will also do better in the current year.

During the year under review, Company had participated in Textile Machinery Exhibition that was 10^th International Exhibition & Conference on Technical Textiles TECHNOTEX-2023 during the year. The Company has received very encouraging response from the Customers and these efforts are expected to help the division perform robustly during FY24.

Outlook

Outlook for the current financial year 2023-24 seems to be better with Non-Woven business attaining monthly highest turnover and expanded Non-Woven capacity has started to yield fruits in the current year.

The overall scenario for Engineering and PSF is also encouraging.

The recycling industry has evolved from viable businesses in medium term to long term and now the recycling industry is seen/taken as "must have" from "good to have" for overall ecological development resulting to move the industry to main stream from the side stream.

A number of Companies are looking for recycled material to reduce their carbon foot prints, automotive industries is one of the leading industries among this. Our Companys products Fibre and Non-Woven Fabrics are mainly supplied to automotive ancillary companies and hence we are one of the few Company that can address their growing appetite/demand.

Opportunities and threats

Opportunities:

For engineering business export markets offer exciting opportunities. Specialised, tailor made non textile customers also offer excellent growth prospects.

For PSF business, there are ambitious expansion plans and with the auto sales picking up sharply, the opportunities for Non-Woven and PSF have improved substantially.

Threats:

The threats are in relation to the economic slow-down, liquidity issues, recent spurt in Raw Material prices and any adverse government policies. However, since textile industry is one of the top-three employment generators, the government policies are expected to be conducive and supportive.
