Executive Summary

Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) is the leading steel-making company in India. It is a

fully integrated iron and steel maker, producing both basic and special steels for domestic

construction, engineering, power, railway, automotive and defense industries and for sale in

export markets. SAIL is also among the five Maharatnas of the country's Central Public Sector

Enterprises. The Government of India owns about 86% of SAIL's equity and retains voting

control of the Company.

Global business witnessed a worldwide downturn in all sphere of business including steel

industry in the second half of 2008-09. The global economy started recovering gradually during

2009-10. SAIL has reoriented production in line with market demand, substantially increased

production of value added steel and achieved the saleable steel production of 12.6 MT

representing 114% of capacity utilization. Sales volume of saleable steel also improved by 7 % at

12.1 MT as against 11.3 MT in 2008-09. The steel prices which were at its lowest during

October-December’08 started recovering gradually from January 2009 onwards, but at a very

slow pace. Towards the end of current year, the steel prices reached its peak for the financial

year 2009-10.Despite higher sales volume of saleable steel for FY 2009-10, SAIL achieved the

turnover of ` 43935 crore which was lower by 9.9 % as compared to previous year mainly due to

reduction in average net sales realization of saleable steel during 2009-10. However, as

compared to CPLY, the profitability improved due to higher saleable steel production (1.1%) and

sales volume (7%), improved production of value added products (24%), improvement in BF

productivity, reduction in coke rate and specific energy consumption, favorable impact of input

prices, particularly of imported coal, nickel, ferro manganese, silico manganese, aluminium etc.,

reduction in ocean freight on imported coal, reduction in stores & spares consumption, repair &

maintenance expenses, optimization in procurement, prudent funds management, curtailing cost

of production, etc. The profitability was affected due to lower net sales realization, increase in

royalty on minerals, higher interest cost and depreciation etc. The profit before tax of Rs. 10132

crore was higher by Rs. 733 crore over previous year (Rs. 9399 crore).

8

During the year, SAIL has continued its thrust on better fund management. M/s FITCH and M/s

CARE, RBI approved credit rating agencies, maintained "AAA" ratings indicating the highest

safety, to SAIL's long term borrowing programme.

This project is a sincere effort to study and analyze the Financial Management of SAIL and its

competitors and also a good experience because every manufacturing company faces the

problem of Financial Management in their day to day processes and need to analysis financial

performance against its competitors.

Introduction

The project on comparison of financial statement of SAIL with other steel sectors in India has been a very good experience. Every manufacturing company faces the problem of Financial Management in their day to day processes. An organization’s cost can be reduced and the profit can be increased only if it is able to manage the financial position of its firm. At the same time the company can provide customer satisfaction and hence can improve their overall productivity and profitability.

This project is a sincere effort to study and analyze the Financial Management of SAIL and its competitors. The project work was divided into two phases. The first phase was focused on company profile of SAIL, Tata Steel and JSW Steel on the bases on Background, Business Description, Marketing and Distribution Network, CSR Initiatives, etc and the second phase was conducted a Comparative analysis of SAIL with its competitors TATA Steel and JSW Steel on the bases of Production Performance, Financial Performance, Ratio Analysis, Segmental Break-up and Analysis of Cost and GSR/NSR.

The internship is a bridge between the institute and the organization. This made me to be involved in a project that helped me to employ my theoretical knowledge about how the Analysis of Financial Statement is done by the firm. And in the process I could contribute substantially to the organization’s growth. The experience that I gathered over the past two months has certainly provided the orientation, which I believe will help me in shouldering any responsibility in future.

13

Objectives of the study

• To study the financial position of the SAIL and its competitors.• To analyze the financial stability SAIL in general.• To analyze and interpret the trends as revealed by various ratios of the SAIL in particular.

Importance of the study

• By “Financial Performance Analysis of SAIL” we would be able to get a fair picture of the financial position of SAIL.

• Protecting the property of the business.• Compliances with legal requirement.

Limitation of the study

• The analysis and interpretation are based on secondary data contained in the published annual reports of SAIL for the study period.

• The comparison is rendered difficult because of differences in situations of one company as compared to the other.

• Ratios are tool of quantitative analysis only. Normally qualitative factors are needed to draw conclusions.

• The study of financial performance can be only a means to know about the financial condition of the company and cannot show a through picture of the activities of the company.

14

Research Methodology

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. So, the research methodology not only talks about the research methods but also considers the logic behind the method used in the context of the research study. During my project work, I have used a lot of data to understand concept of comparative financial statements and Ratio Analysis. The data collected was interpreted and then used as information in project.

Source of Data Collection

The required data for the study are basically secondary in nature and the data are collected from the audited reports of 2009- 2010 of the SAIL and its competitors- TATA Steel and JSW and from reference books.

Methods of Data Analysis

The data collected were edited, classified and tabulated for analysis. The analytical tools used in this study are:

• Comparative Financial Statements.

• Ratio Analysis.

Understanding Theoretical Background

Meaning

Financial statement analysis is a systematic process that examines past and current financial data for the purpose of evaluating performance and estimating future risk and potentials. The complex data given in these financial statements is divided/ broken into simple and valuable elements and relationship are established between the elements of the same statements or different financial statements. This process of division, establishing relationship and interpretation thereof to understand the working and financial position of a business is known as analysis of Financial Statements. Financial statement analysis is used by investors, creditor, security analysts, bank lending officers, managers, governmental agencies, suppliers, and many other parties who rely on financial data for making economic decisions about a company.

Tools of Financial Statements Analysis

• Comparative Financial Statements• Common-Size Financial Statements• Trend Percentage• Ratio Analysis• Fund Flow Statement• Cash flow Statement

(Here for this study Comparative Financial Statements and Ratio Analysis were taken)

Comparative Financial Statements

It shows the operating results for a number of accounting periods so that change in data in terms of money and percentage from one period to another may be known. Here we have make the Comparative Financial Statements of SAIL, TATA Steel, JSW Steel and RINL.

Objectives of Comparative Financial Statements

• To analyze the income and expenditure for two or more years.

24

• To analyze the increase or decrease in the income and expenditure in terms of rupee and also the percentage.

• To review the business operations of the last year and its likely effect on the current year’s operations.

Ratio Analysis

Ratio is simple arithmetical expression of the relationship of one number to another. It may be defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expressions. Ratio analysis is an important technique, which is widely used for interpreting financial statement. The technique serves as a tool for assessing the current and long-term financial soundness of a business. It is also used to analysis various aspects of operating efficiency and level of profitability. A German scholar used ratios for the first time in 1919. Thus, Ratio analysis is a study of relationship among various financial factors in a business.

Objectives of Ratio Analysis

• To judge the earning capacity (profitability), financial soundness (position) and operating efficiency of a business organization.

• To help in business planning and forecasting.

• To locate the weak spots in the business and take remedial action.• Estimate about the trend of the business.

Classification of Ratios

Classification of ratio is made based on requirement by end users and they indicate symptoms as characteristic of the company.

• Debt- Equity Ratios

It is used to compute the soundness of the long- term financial position of the firm. This ratio expresses a relationship between debt (external equities) and equity (internal equities).

Debt- Equity Ratio = Debt (Long-term Loans)Equity (Shareholders’ Funds)

Acceptable Debt-Equity Ratio is 2:1 which means debt can be twice the equity.

25

• PAT (profit after tax) to Avg. Net Worth Ratio

Return on Average Net Worth = Profit after Taxes X 100Average Net Worth

(Net Worth = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + Reserves & Surplus – Miscellaneous Expenses to the extent not written off or adjusted - Foreign Currency Monetary Translation Diff Account).

• Debtor Turnover Ratio

This ratio establishes the relationship between net credit sales and average debtors of the year. Average debtors are calculated by dividing the sum of debtors in the beginning and at the end by 2.

Debtor Turnover Ratio = Net Credit SalesAverage Debtors

Average Age of Debtors = 365days or 12monthsDebtor Turnover

Average Age of Debtors is also called Debtors Velocity or Average Collection Period or Period of Credit given. It is used to find out the period within which debtors are realized.

• Earnings per Share

EPS indicates the quantum of net profit of the year that would be ranking for dividend for each share of the company being held by the equity share holders.

Earnings per Share = Net profit after Taxes - Preference Dividend No. of Equity Shares

This ratio helps in evaluating the prevailing market price of share in the light of profit-earning capacity. The more the earning per share better is the performance and prospects of the company.

26

• Current Ratio

It is the relationship between the current assets and current liabilities and is computed to assess the short-term financial position of the enterprise.

Current Ratio = Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities

As a conventional rule a Current Ratio of 2:1 is considered most satisfactory. . Higher the current ratio, greater the short-term solvency.

• PBT/Turnover

PBT/Turnover = Profit before TaxTurnover

(Profit before Taxes + (-) Exceptional Items)

• PAT/Turnover

PAT/Turnover = Profit after TaxTurnover

From the above summarized & re- drawn P&L A/cs, the apparent observations are as under:

• The sales quantity of SAIL is 12.11 which was improved CPLY by 7% but TATA has significant advantage in sales realization per tonne of saleable steel sales. The GSR/t of Tata Steel at 42873/t is higher by Rs. 6592.3 as compared to SAIL but SAIL has advantage of Rs. 2264.6/t as compared to GSR/t of JSW steel.

• Higher per tonne sale realization of TATA is mainly due to enrichment of product mix. Other factors such as reduction in credit tenure, shortened supply lead time, introduction of price extras, Customer meets, new supply points, domestic and export sales, etc may also contributed to variation in realization per tonne of saleable steel.

• The NSR/t of SAIL at 34110.0 is lower by Rs. 5949.7 as compared to TATA but higher by Rs. 2092.5 as compared to JSW Steel and 6% decrease over CPLY in SAIL in net sales turnover while there is an increase of 3% in Tata Steel.

• However, on expenditure side, total expenditure per tonne of saleable steel sales is lower in SAIL by about Rs. 3482.7/t as compare to TATA. Apart from production mix which affects the cost, the item wise analysis of expenditure are as under:-

• Raw Material expenditure in TATA is lower by Rs. 3901/t as compared to SAIL. One of the reasons of lower expenditure in Tata Steel would be lower imported coal as compared to SAIL. Over CPLY there is 15% and 7% decrease in SAIL and TATA respectively whereas in JSW, there is increase about 66% in raw material consumed.

• Employee/Staff cost in Tata Steel at Rs.3666.9/t if saleable sales is lower in comparison to SAIL Employee cost at Rs. 4288.2/t. Labour productivity in SAIL is 226 Tonnes CS/M/Y and in Tata, it was 510 tonne CS/M/Y. Over CPLY there is 2% and 2% increase in JSW and TATA respectively whereas in SAIL, there is decrease about 36% in staff cost.

• EBIDTA up by 55% to Rs. 4,806 crores (Rs.8401.6/t) mainly due to reduction in cost of production relative to last year and foreign exchange gains of Rs. 412.95 crores in JSW Steel and over CPLY, there is change about 109% whereas EBIDTA up by 8.5% to Rs.

30

11,871 crore (Rs. 9802.9/t) in SAIL and in TATA, EBIDTA up by 4% to Rs. 9805.88 crore (Rs 15892.8/t).

• The profitability of SAIL was affected due to lower net sales realisation, increase in royalty on minerals, higher interest cost and depreciation etc. The profit before tax (PBT) of Rs. 10132 crore (Rs. 8366.7/t) was higher by Rs. 733 crore over previous year (Rs. 9399 crore) and profit after tax (PAT) was Rs. 6754 crore (Rs. 5577.5/t) which was higher by Rs. 583 crore i.e., 9% increase over CPLY and JSW also posted a highest ever Profit after Tax of Rs. 2,022.74 crores (Rs. 3536.3/t), up 341% over CPLY whereas there is a decrease of 1% (Rs. 11692.5/t) and 3% in PBT and PAT (Rs. 8179.6/t) respectively in TATA Steel which affects its profitability during the FY09-10.

• Share Capital in SAIL is Rs. 4130.40/crore whereas in Tata Steel, it is Rs. 887.41./crore and in JSW, it is 527.11/crore. EPS Basic is Rs. 16.35/share in SAIL and Rs. 60.26/share in TATA whereas Rs. 106.34/share in JSW Steel.

• Staff cost to Total cost is higher in SAIL which is 17% whereas 13% and 2% in TATA and JSW respectively.

• EBIDTA Margin (EBIDTA/Net Sales Turnover) is higher in TATA which is 40% as compared to SAIL (29%) and JSW (26%).

A further analysis of cost and profitability has been attempted between SAIL, Tata Steel and JSW Steel on like to like basis in part ‘E’ of the note.

C. Ratio Analysis

A brief ratio analysis has also been attempted between SAIL and domestic competitors (Tata Steel, JSW Steel and RINL).The ratios of competitors are either taken from published Annual Reports or re-computed for like to like comparison.

The major Ratios for the year 2009-10 are tabulated below:

S.NO. RATIOS UNITS SAIL TATA STEEL

JSW STEEL

1. Debt Equity Times 0.50:1 0.61:1 1.07:1

2. PAT to Avg. Net Worth % 21.98% 15.12% 23.66%

3. Average Age of Debtors Days 29 8 11

4. EPS Rs/Share 16.35 60.26 106.34

5. PBT/Turnover % 24.99% 28.83% 15.49%

6. PAT/Turnover % 16.65% 20.17% 11.11%

7. Current Ratio Times 3.52 1.15 0.72

• Debt- Equity Ratio: Increase in the ratio of SAIL in FY09-10 is due mainly on account of increase in borrowings for capital expenditure while the debts are decreased in Tata Steel due to stringent credit control measures and lower exports. There is decrease in Debt- Equity ratio of JSW from 1.24:1 to 1.07:1 is due to additional borrowings for expansion projects.

• PAT (profit after tax) to Avg. Net Worth: The ratio is highest for JSW at 23.7% followed by SAIL at 22% and 15% for Tata Steel. The ratio has decreased for SAIL and increased for JSW due to an increase in the Company’s profit. The ratio of Tata Steel is declined due to issue of Cumulative Preference Shares.

• Average Age of Debtors: The ratio is one part of measuring efficiency of fund/working capital management. The collection period is 8 days for Tata Steel and 10 days for JSW

32

as compared to 29 days for SAIL. One of the reasons for higher age of debtors SAIL may be due to compulsive credit sales to Govt. Departments/PSU.

• Earnings per Share (EPS): EPS at Rs. 106.34 per share is highest for JSW as compared to Rs. 16.35 for SAIL and Rs. 60.26 for Tata Steel. The lower EPS in case of SAIL is due to its large paid up capital base (Rs. 4130 crores) as compared to Tata Steel and JSW.

• Current Ratio: The ratios compute the number of times the current assets are in excess over current liabilities. SAIL has a high ratio i.e., 3.52 which shows that it has enough liquidity while JSW has low ratio i.e., 0.72 which means company is unable to meet its current liabilities on time.

34

c. Employee Cost -

• Employee cost in Tata Steel at Rs.3666.9/t if saleable sales is lower in comparison to SAIL Employee cost at Rs. 4288.2/t.

• The manpower of Tata Steel as on 31.03.10 was 34,101 as against on the same date in SAIL. The manpower is 1, 16,950 for 5 ISPs in SAIL and in JSW Steel, the manpower is near about 7,703.

• Average employee cost in Tata Steel is around Rs. 6.92 lakhs per annum per employee as compared to Rs. 4.63 lakhs per annum in SAIL and in JSW Steel, it is around 4.73 lakhs.

• Labour productivity in SAIL is 226 Tonnes CS/M/Y and in Tata, it was 510 tonne CS/M/Y.

• In JSW Steel, Employee remuneration and benefits are increased from 288.75 crores to 365.2 crores mainly because of annual increments and rise in manpower relating to operations, on commissioning of new facilities at Vijayanagar, which were under construction in last year.

• In SAIL, the Employee remuneration and benefits were decreased with a significant change around 36% over CPLY whereas there is 2% and 2% increase in JSW and TATA respectively.

• While in Tata Steel, the Staff cost or Employee remuneration and benefits was higher mainly due to annual increases in salary and allowances partly offset by lower charges of employee benefits towards gratuity and ESS on account of higher discounting rates applied for actuarial valuation.

35

d. Other Operating Cost -

• Cost of Store & Spare is almost comparable. The cost is lower by Rs. 35.48/t in SAIL as compared to Tata Steel. The part of difference may be due to proportion of stores and spares internally manufactured, freight component, difference in requirements, procurement rate, etc.

• Power & Fuel cost is lower in Tata Steel which is Rs.1969.3/t as compared to Rs. 25663.3/t in SAIL. Lower cost in Tata Steel may be due to additional volumes of purchased power to cater to its requirement for additional production whereas SAIL purchased electricity from outside including JVCs. The power purchase rate in Tata Steel is around Rs. 2.84/kwh and avg. cost from own generation is about Rs. 2.08/kwh. For SAIL, the avg. power purchase cost is Rs. 3.46/kwh and for JSW, the avg. power purchase cost is Rs. 3.52.

• Repair & Maintenance cost Rs. 451/t in SAIL as against Rs. 1566.64/t in Tata Steel. This repair and maintenance expenses for SAIL and Tata Steel includes repairs on building and Plant & Machinery under the heading of store and spares, Employees' Remuneration & Benefits, etc.

• Interest cost of Tata is higher as compared to SAIL and JSW. It is around Rs. 1508.4 crores (Rs.2342.2/t) in Tata Steel and Rs 402.51 crores (Rs. 318.2/t) in SAIL and Rs. 822.68 crores in JSW Steel.

• Freight and handling expenditure are higher in Tata Steel by Rs. 1573.8/t as compared to SAIL. The reason may be higher volume of steel dispatches by both rail and road and port handling charges under this head by Tata. This may resulted in lower expenditure in Tata Steel as compared to SAIL.

• Depreciation is higher in Tata as compared to SAIL and JSW. It is around Rs. 1083.1crores (Rs.1682 /t) in Tata Steel and Rs 1337.29 crores (Rs. 1058.6/t) in SAIL and Rs. 1123.41crores in JSW Steel.

• Other Expenses is higher in TATA at Rs. 8205.1/t as compared to Rs. 1705.3/t for SAIL.

36

e. GSR/NSR -

• Tata Steel has significant advantage in sales realization per tonne of saleable steel sales. The GSR/t of Tata Steel at 42873/t is higher by Rs. 6592.3 as compared to SAIL but SAIL has advantage of Rs. 2264.6/t as compared to GSR/t of JSW steel.

• Higher per tonne sale realization of Tata Steel is mainly due to enrichment of product mix. Other factors such as reduction in credit tenure, shortened supply lead time, introduction of price extras, Customer meets, new supply points, domestic and export sales, etc may also contributed to variation in realization per tonne of saleable steel.

• The NSR/t of SAIL at 34110.0 is lower by Rs. 5949.7 as compared to Tata Steel but higher by Rs. 2092.5 as compared to JSW Steel and 6% decrease over CPLY in SAIL in net sales turnover while there is an increase of 3% in Tata Steel.

Conclusion

In this project, I draw an Inter Firm Comparison between SAIL and its competitors and ratio analysis; these statements and ratios are very useful to interpret financial position of the company. From that it is clear that the SAIL, TATA and JSW are in advanced stage.

On the basis of analysis of financial statements and Ratios of SAIL we may conclude that the overall working stability – soundness have improved over the years.

• SAIL registered a turnover of Rs. 43,935 crore. EBIDTA of Rs. 11,871 crore - a growth of 8.5%. Profit before Tax (PBT) of Rs. 10,132 crore, higher by 8% - second highest since inception. Profit after Tax (PAT) of Rs. 6,754 crore, higher by 9.5%.

• Produced 14.5 million tonnes of Hot Metal, 13.5 million tonnes of crude steel and 12.6 million tonnes of saleable steel. Best ever sales of 4.45 million tonnes of long products, higher by 3% over last year.

• Highest ever labour productivity of 226 tonnes/ man/ year. Best ever coke rate at 517 Kg/thm (1% improvement). Best ever specific energy consumption at 6.72 Gcal/tcs (Previous best of 6.74 Gcal/tcs achieved in FY'09).

• The debtor’s turnover ratio is lower for SAIL compared to its competitors which shows that the debtors are less liquid implying inefficient management of debtors/sales.

• The proportion of current assets to total assets has increased comparing to current liabilities which serve as an evidence for good working capital position of the company.

• The current ratio for SAIL is more than other competitors which shows that it has enough liquidity in comparison to other competitors.

• The debt equity ratio is 0.50 which is lower than the competitors. This means that it is more traditionally financed in comparison to other competitors. It has lower debt so it can easily raise debt in future.
