Suryalakshmi has reported a PBT of
Rs.10.15 Crores on a turnover of Rs.60 Crores for the
quarter ended December, 2005, an increase of 80% in PBT
on a stand alone basis over the same quarter in the previous
year. For the 9 months ended December, 2005, the net profit
after tax at Rs.29.47 Crores, works out to a EPS of Rs.24.7
on the post bonus (1:1) capital (Rs.33 on an annualized
basis). The expansions at the Denim and Spinning Divisions
are on schedule.
The higher profitability inspite of pressure on denim
prices is on account of increased denim production, consequent
lower cost of production and reduced rawmaterial prices.
With the further expanded capacity of 40 mn. mtrs. p.a.,
of denim, expected to be completed shortly, the Company
is confident of improving its denim margins further.
The Yarn division is also expected to increase its contribution
due to the steady yarn prices and further additional capacity
expected to be in place in a couple of months time.
The Company has allotted 1428300 equity share at Rs.245/-
per share to UTI Venture Funds by way of private placement.
The Company has received the sanctions for financial assistance
under TUFS from SBI and SBM. It has already received the
sanction from IDBI under TUFS. The Company has completed
the financial tie-ups for about Rs.225 Crores for the
ongoing expansions. |

Consolidated exports up by 102%, Recommends
1:1 Bonus
Forays into garment manufacturing
Suryalakshmi Cotton Mills (SCM), dominant
manufacturer of denim has recorded Net sales of Rs 57.62
crore for the quarter ended March 2005. Net profit has
risen to Rs 6.93 crore during the same period. For the
year ended March 2005, Net sales rose to Rs 245.95 crore
while net profit has risen to Rs 18.28 crore. The growth
in profit was largely driven by higher realisation in
denim prices and operational efficiencies through reduced
production and cash cycle. The company successfully
strengthened its leadership position in the denim segment.
The 2004-05 financial year was a remarkable
year for the company with the divestiture of yarn business
into a separate company by way of a de-merger (w.e.f
01.09.2004). Hence the figures of March 2005 are not
comparable to March 2004 results.
Suryakiran International Ltd, the
subsidiary of SCM made strategic acquisition of a company
involved in garment exports in international markets.
As a results of this alongwith SCM's exports, the consolidated
exports have grown by 102% to Rs 155.9 crore.
In order to reward the shareholders,
the company has recommended bonus in the ratio of 1:1
and a dividend of 30% on the equity capital of 59,66,995
equity shares post-demerger.
Outlining the performance and future
growth strategy, Mr L N Agarwal, Chairman and Managing
Director, said "Our performance reflects growth
with a blend of higher profitability. Looking forward,
our expansion plans to consolidate our positioning in
denim business and the new garment unit planned at Hyderabad
will strengthen our future growth prospects in international
markets. Our major emphasis is to continue to drive
our core business to world class standards of execution
at all levels and secure larger market share".
The Company will maintain its robust
growth momentum through low cost acquisition and organic
expansion as well as continuous expansion of production
facilities. In this regard, the Company has chalked
out plans to invest Rs.200 crore towards organic expansion
of its facilities in the next one year.
The ambitious expansion plans
are explained as below:
- Expansion of Denim capacity from
25 Million meters to 40 Million meters per annum, out
of which the capacity of 30 million meters will be operative
by July, 2005. The balance 10 million meters will be
operational by the end of financial year March 2006.
- Creation of additional captive ring spinning facility
25 metric tons for catering to denim operations so as
to achieve reduction in input costs at Ramtek Unit at
Maharastra.
- Modernisation of existing spinning capacity and creation
of additional 32,000 spindles capacity at Amanagallu
unit at Andhra Pradesh.
- Setting up of a garment unit near the upcoming international
airport at Hyderabad at an investment of Rs.20 crore
for which the work is already in progress and the commercial
production is expected to commence by September, 2005.
The company will reap benefits of
some of above expansions in the current financial year
of 2005-06, the complete benefits will be reflected
during the financial year 2006-07. The company plans
to invest further Rs 300 crore in 2007-08 to further
expand its capacity. This will take the total capital
expenditure to Rs 500 crore.
The Company anticipates the
overall growth for the financial year 2005-06 to be
robust and is confident of maintaining its earnings
on the post-bonus equity, barring unforeseen circumstances.

FEBRUARY 19th 2005
1. Major achievements of our Company in the current
year.
Today we have established ourself
as a leading manufacturer of Yarn and Denim. Products
are well accepted both domestic and international markets.
We have achieved a profit of Rs.14.24 Crores for 9 months.
Fourth quarter is also expected to be very good because
of increase in demand of denim and lower cotton prices.
This year we have completed 5 million mtrs expansion
of Denim taking it to 20 million. Increased the share
of value added fancy denims. Increased the production
capacity to manufacture high value combed yarns and
dyed yarns in spinning division. Today we are exporting
both Cotton Yarn and Denim to more than 30 Countries.
Last year our export turnover was more than Rs.70 Crores.
Today our customers look at us for innovations. We have
achieved optimum utilisation of our plants and completed
modernisation of our existing units.
2. Expansion plans.
Further expanding the denim capacity
by 10 million mtrs. This expansion is expected to be
completed by April / May this year. We should be second
largest in the denim sector in the country. Also we
would increase spinning capacities in future
substantially.
3. Strategy for growth.
The Company is hiving off spinning
unit into independent entity to accelerate the growth
of denim and spinning. We also have plans to enter garmenting
activity to complete the value chain and also expand
the spinning division. If any good acquisitions proposals
are available, that also can be considered in future
to
accelerate growth.
4. Opportunities before the Company.
We plan to further increase our presence
in Denim, and also look into manufacturing other fabrics
like shirting and home textiles. We intend to focus
on garment exports also. We would like to increase the
production of more value added products where the margins
are much better.
5. Competition.
We look at competition as an opportunity
for achieving further growth and excellence. We are
welcoming it as an opportunity to broadbase the product
range and distinguish it with improved quality parameters.
We feel healthy competition is in interest of Company
and also the customer. Post W.T.O., we feel competition
is expected to increase globally. We are already to
face the competition particularly from china and others
neighbouring Countries. Our present product range and
quality are way ahead.
6. Post-quota scenario and the growth of the Company.
With effect from 1st January, 2005,
there are no restrictions (Quota) for any category in
any country and whole world would be an open international
market without any restrictions on the import and export
of textiles and garments. Considering the inherent strengths
of our industry in terms of a strong raw material base,
skilled manpower and low wage costs, we have immense
potential in the globalised textile economy. There is
marked shift in consumer preference from basic denims
to fancy and speciality value added denims. New designs
and products are regularly developed every month. The
Company has over 300 different varieties of denim to
offer the market. Every month new varieties are introduced
in the market by the product design department. The
product range starts from 4.50 Oz/Sq. Yd. to 15.50 Oz/Sq.yd.
The shades can be supplied in Deep Indigo, Sulphur Bottom
Indigo Top, and Black other than the Normal Indigo Shade.
Approx. 50% of the production is exported.
7. Goal
We are a leading player in the textiles
known for outstanding quality, product range and reliability.
Our goal is to achieve a turnover of Rs.500 Crores by
2005-2006 and to increase further our market share in
our products. We would like to be a key global player
not only in yarn and denim but also in other textiles.
With a vast range and variety of products, we are already
in that direction.

OCTOBER 30th 2004
SURYALAKSHMI BOARD APPROVES DEMERGER OF MAHABUBNAGAR
UNIT
|
| |
|
In its meeting held on 30.10.2004,
the Board of Directors of Suryalakshmi approved the
demerger of the Mahabubnagar Spinning Unit along with
the Dyeing Plant into a separate Company viz., Rajvir
Industries Limited. The appointed date for the demerger
process is 01.09.2004. In consideration of the demerger,
the share holders of Suryalakshmi will receive 1 (one)
fully paid share of Rs.10/- each in Rajvir Industries
Limited for every 3 (three) shares of Rs.10/- each held
them in Suryalakshmi as on the record date to be fixed
in consultation with the Stock Exchanges after the statutory
formalities of demerger is completed. Simultaneously,
the paid up equity capital of Suryalakshmi will be reduced
from the present Rs.8.95 Crores to Rs.6 Crores and consequently
the shareholders of Suryalakshmi will receive 2 (two)
new equity shares of Rs.10/- each in Suryalakshmi for
every 3 (three) shares of Rs.10/- each held by them
as on the record date.
The scheme, as approved by the Board
will be filed with the Stock Exchanges and then with
the Hon'ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh for the High
Court's sanction.
The shares to be issued in the new
Company viz. Rajvir Industries Limited and also the
new shares to be issued in Suryalakshmi after the capital
reduction will both be listed in Hyderabad, Mumbai and
National Stock Exchange. The demerger proposal is expected
to enhance the cumulative economic value added of both
the Companies due to the significant synergies they
will achieve through strategic partnerships. It is believed
that the separation of the Denim and Spinning businesses
into individual listed Companies will also enhance shareholder
value in both Companies. The formalities are expected
to be completed around March, 2005.

 |

OCTOBER 1st 2004
SURYALAKSHMI MILLS DEMERGER OPTIONS
|
| |
|
The dismantling of the quota regime
from January, 2005 is expected to bring about value
chain consolidation and product specialisation in the
textile industry in the Country. These in turn will
trigger transnational strategic alliances and technology
upgradations with further investments in R & D.
In this scenario Suryalakshmi has been looking at enhancing
its market share in the Denim business and also strengthen
its presence in the yarn segment by further specialisaton
in high quality speciality yarns. It was felt that achievement
of such ambitious growth targets would call for forging
of new strategic relationships, attracting external
equity and having access to technological excellence.
It was also felt that the Denim and Yarn segments would
require distinct relationships and hence with a proper
restructuring both the segments could concentrate on
respective core activities.
Today Suryalakshmi's Board considered
various restructuring options and approved proposal
of demerger of its yarn division i.e. the yarn manufacturing
unit at Mahabubnagar (including the Dyeing Plant) will
stand transferred, with effect from 1st September 2004
to a newly incorporated company viz., Rajvir Industries
Limited.
Suryalakshmi will continue with denim
operations including the yarn division at Amanagallu,
Mahabubnagar District for its captive needs.
A scheme of arrangement will be prepared
in accordance with provisions of the Companies Act 1956
and Income Tax Act, 1961 for approval by the Board,
Stock Exchange(s) and all other necessary statutory
approvals.
The shareholders of Suryalakshmi will
participate in the capital of the new Company in a proportion
to be determined by independent professional accountants.
Subject to all compliances, shares of the new Company,
Rajvir Industries Limited will also be listed on the
Stock Exchanges.
Further information on demerger process
including that of ratio of share exchange, etc., will
be intimated soon after the same is approved by the
Board of Directors which is likely to be on or before
31st October 2004.

Crores for the year ended 31st March, 2004. The turnover

the last year. The Company has been exporting a variety
of high value added yarns to various markets like Mauritius,

country. In order to take advantage of the emerging
market scenario, the Company has increased its production

inspite of rising cotton prices. The company hopes to
maintain the current trend of profitability and with

surpass the projected turnover of around Rs.300 Crores
during the year 2003-2004 and Rs.400 Crores by 2004-05.

will be 95,000 and the denim capacity will be 25 million
metres per annum. The Company plans to avail the Technology
Upgradation Fund Scheme facilites.
With the completion of the expansion
of denim and yarn capacities and the expected continuance
of the upswing in the textile market, the turnover is
expected to cross Rs.500 Crores by 2005-2006. The Company's
Board of Directors approved the above Un-audited financial
results and the investment proposals on 30th January,
2004.
The Company expects to benefit substantially
from the removal of the quantitative restrictions from
January, 2005 under the WTO. As the Company is gearing
itself in time to meet the intensified competition both
within the Country and in international markets, the
Company's performance is expected to make a quantum
leap from the year 2005 onwards.
