OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING SECTOR:
Growth:
3. Manufacturing has risen as one of the highest growth sector. India’s ranking among the world’s
10 largest manufacturing countries has improved by three places to sixth position in 2015.The
Government of India has set an ambitious target of increasing the contribution of
manufacturing output to 25 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2025, from 16 per
cent currently.
Market Size:
India’s manufacturing sector has the potential to nudge US$ 1 trillion by 2025. There is a huge
potential for the sector to account for 25-30 per cent of the country’s GDP and create up to 90
million domestic jobs by 2025. Business conditions in the Indian manufacturing sector continue
to remain positive.
Investments:
In a major boost to the 'Make in India' initiative, the Make in India week which was held in
Mumbai between February 13 to 18, 2016, received an astounding response from investors.
The fair had closed with INR 15.2 trillion (US$225.32billion) in investment commitments in
many manufacturing companies including Siemens etc.
Government Initiatives:
The Government of India has undertaken many initiatives to promote a healthy
environment for the growth of industrial manufacturing sector in the country. Some of the
initiatives and developments are:
The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog), aims to
persuade the Government for support in the manufacturing sectors
with large-scale employment generation opportunities, such as electrical and
electronics engineering,
Gujarat government is planning to lay up an electronics products
Manufacturing center in the state, through its newly announced Electronics
Policy 2016, which will generate about 500,000 jobs in the electronics sector
4. in the next five years, indigenously made defense products and 25 per cent share of defense
production will be open to private firms.
The Government plans to organize a ‘Make in India week’ in Mumbai
between February 13-18, 2016 to boost the ‘Make in India’ initiative and
expects 1,000 companies from 10 key sectors to participate in the exhibition
of innovative products and processes, a hackathon and sessions on urban
planning, among other events.
Financial Analysis:
ON THE BASIS OF PROFIT
In 2014-15 FY sales decreased by 11%, expenses decreased by 11% and PAT decreased
by 16% for the industry
Net sales for Bharat Forge have shown consistency from 2011 with an increase in sales
of 34% in 2015 due to increase in exports while amongst the companies taken BHEL has
performed dismally as compared to its counterparts showing drop of sales in 2015 by
23% .
Siemens PAT was decreasing from 2011-13 and then jumped up by 210% in 2014 due to
profit on sales of fixed asset and by 96% due to profit on sales of investments
(exceptional items).BEl, bharat forge showed a steady increase but BEML showed a
jump in 2015FY by 44% due to decrease provision for tax .BHEL showed an increase of
6% in 2013FY but after that it has been drastically declining after 2013 to 2015
indicating margin pressues
BHEL ,Siemens and BEML have shown a consistent decline in total expenses which is in
contrast of Bharat Forge which showed a jumped of 27% in 2014-15FY and BEL which
showed a decrease of 1.34% in 2013-14 FY but again had a jump of 5.20% in the year
2014-15FY.In BHEL the decline of 8% in the employee wages expenses in mainly
accounted by the decrease in manpower.
While Siemens and BEL has shown a consistent trend of increase in the total liabilities
which can be attributed to the increase in total debts of both the companies with the
only dip taking place in 2011-12FY with -0.16% and -3.26% respectively while BHEL and
BEML have shown a steady decline in the total liabilities with a steep decline 2014-15FY
of 6% and 2.8% respectively (both current and non current) which can be attributed
mainly due to lower level of operations and decrease in level of advances from
5. customers.Bharat Forge has shown decline in total liabilies due to decrease in short
term borrowings and other outstanding liabilities.
BHARAT FORGE recorded an increase in total current assets due to increase in cash and
surplus while BHEL recorded steady declining trend in this field with a decline of 7% in
2014-15 due to 17% decrease in cash which was in stark contrast of its performance
2013-14FY where it recorded a 54% growth in cash.Change in receivables is in line with
operations and the increase in deferred tax assets is due to the change in depreciation
policy.
Portfolio of long term investors can be:
For the long term investors BHARAT FORGE AND BEL are found to be better than a debentures
investors should seek the debentures of BHEL, and BEML
RATIO ANALYSIS:
Analyzing the net profit ratio our companies vs industry we deduce that
BEL, BHARAT FORGE and Siemens have fared better than the industrial
average of 5% while BHEL and BEML lies below it.
With BEML leading at 22.55% ,BEL,SIEMENS and Bharat Forge lies above
the industrial average of 6.07% indicating very efficient asset utilisation
while BHEL trudges at 2 % showing incompetent asset utilization
With an industrial average of 8.63% all companies with the exception of
BHEL and BEL with BHARAT FORGE having an ROE of 21% due to less
amounts of shareholders equity and BHEL underscores due to relatively
very less PAT when compared to the company’s equity shareholders’
funds
With an industrial average of 0.4 of debt to equity ratio Bharat Forge has
the least amongst the companies analyzes with a ratio 0.05 with Siemens
leading with a ratio of 0.6 .
Siemens has an debt to asset ratio of 37% while the industry average in
of 26.6% indicating that amongst the five companies Siemens is relying
the most on its own capital rather than debts to finance its assets
6. Bharat Forge and Siemens lie above the industry average of 4.65 times
inventory turnover indicating high level of operations and production vis-
à-vis BHEL,BEL and BEML
In terms of current ratio Bharat Forge again leads with a ratio of 3.025
and the industrial average of 1.81 and all the other companies above the
industrial average with the exception of Siemens.
Revenue recognition policies:
BHEL:
Revenue Recognition Sales are recorded based on significant risks and rewards of ownership
being transferred in favor of the customer. Sales include goods dispatched to customers by
partial shipment. A.) For construction contracts entered into on or after 1.4.2003 Revenue is
recognized on percentage completion method based on the percentage of actual cost incurred
up to the reporting date to the total estimated cost of the contract. B.) For all other contracts
(i) Recognition of sales revenue in respect of long production cycle items (Hydro and Thermal
sets including gas-based power plants, boilers, boiler auxiliaries, compressors and industrial
turbo sets) is made on technical estimates. When the aggregate value of shipments represents
30% or more of the realizable value, they are considered at 97.5% of the realizable value or in
its absence, quoted price.
Annual Accounts standalone Otherwise, they are considered at actual/ estimated factory cost
or 97.5% of the realizable value, whichever is lower. The balance 2.5% is recognized as revenue
on completion of supplies under the contract.
(ii) Income from erection and project management services is recognized on work done based
on: Percentage of completion; or The intrinsic value, reckoned at 97.5% of contract value, the
balance 2.5% is recognized as income when the contract is completed.
(iii) Income from engineering services rendered is recognized at realizable value based on
percentage of work completed.
(iv) Income from supply/erection of non BHEL equipment/systems and civil works is recognized
based on dispatches.
7. SIEMENS:
From 2011-15,
1. Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow
to the group and the revenue can be reliably measured.
2. Revenue from sale of products is recognised on the transfer of significant risk and
rewards of ownership of the product to the customers, which is generally on the
dispatch of goods ther than revenue from sale of healthcare equipments which is
recognized upon installation at customer premises. Sales are started exclusive of sales
tax and net of trade and quantity discount.
3. Revenue from services is recognised as per the terms of the contract with the customer
using the proportionate completion method.
4. Revenue from services represents service income other than from services which are
incidental to sale of products and projects.
5. Income from fixed price construction contracts is recognised by reference to the
estimate overall profitability of the contract under the percentage of completion
method. Percentage of completion is determined as a proportion of the costs incurred
upto the reporting date of the total estimated contract costs. Contract revenue earned
in excess of billing has been reflected as ‘Project excess cost’ under ‘Other current
assets’ and ‘billing in excess’ of contract revenue has been reflected under “other
current liabilities” in the balance sheet. Provisions for expected loss is recognized
immediately when it is probable that the total estimated contracts costs will exceed
total contract revenue
6. Interest income is recognised on the time proportion basis.
7. Commission income is recognised when proof of shipment is received from the supplier.
BEL:
(i) Revenue from sale of goods is recognized as under:
1. In the case of FOR contracts, when the goods are handed over to the carrier for
transmission to the buyer after prior inspection and acceptance, if stipulated, and in the
case of FOR destination contracts, if there is a reasonable expectation of the goods
reaching destination within the accounting period. Revenue is recognized even if goods
are retained with the company at the request of the customer.
2. In the case of ex-works contracts, when the specified goods are unconditionally
appropriated to the contract after prior inspection and acceptance, if required.
8. 3. In the case of contracts for supply of complex equipment’s/systems where the normal
cycle time of completion/delivery period is more than 24 months and the value of the
equipment/ system is more than ` 100 crores, revenue is recognized on the “percentage
completion” method. Percentage completion is based on the ratio of actual costs
incurred on the contract up to the reporting dates to the estimated total cost of the
contract. Since the outcome of such a contract can be estimated reliably only on
achieving certain progress, revenue is recognized up to 25% progress only to the extent
of costs. After this stage, revenue is recognized on proportionate basis and a
contingency provision equal to 20% of the surplus of revenue over costs is made while
anticipated losses are recognized in full.
4. If the sale price is pending finalization, revenue is recognized on the basis of price
expected to be realized. Where break up prices of sub units sold are not provided for,
the same are estimated.
5. Price revisions and claims for price escalations on contracts are accounted on
admittance.
6. Where installation and commissioning is stipulated and price for the same agreed
separately, revenue relating to installation and commissioning is recognized on
conclusion of installation and commissioning activity. In case of a composite contract,
where separate fee for installation and commissioning is not stipulated and the supply is
effected and installation and commissioning work is pending, the estimated costs to be
incurred on installation and commissioning activity is provided for and revenue is
recognized as per the contract.
7. Sales exclude Sales Tax / Value Added Tax (VAT) and include Excise Duty.
(ii) Other income is recognized on accrual.
Bharat Forge:Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic
benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following
specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
i. Sale of products
a) Revenue from domestic sales are recognized when all the significant risks and
rewards of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on dispatch
from the point of sale, consequent to property in goods being transferred. The Company
collects sales taxes and value added taxes (VAT) on behalf of the government and,
therefore, these are not economic benefits flowing to the Company. Hence, they are
excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue (gross) is the amount that is
9. included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount of liability arising during the
year.
b) Revenue from export sales are recognized when all the significant risks and rewards
of ownership of the goods have been passed to the buyer, usually on the basis of dates
of bill of lading. Summary of significant accounting policies (Contd.):
f) Foreign currency translation (Contd.)
Export incentives
Revenue from export incentives are accounted for on export of goods if the
entitlements can be estimated with reasonable assurance and conditions precedent to
claimis fulfilled.
Sale of services
Revenues from sales of services are recognized pro-rata over the period of the
contract as and when services are rendered. The Company collects service tax on behalf
of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the
Company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue.
Die design and preparation charges
Revenues from die design and preparation charges are recognized as per the terms of
the contract as and when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of dies are
transferred to the buyers. The Company collects excise duty and value added tax (VAT)
on behalf of the government and, therefore, it is not an economic benefit flowing to the
Company. Hence, it is excluded from revenue. Excise duty deducted from revenue
(gross) is the amount that is included in the revenue (gross) and not the entire amount
of liability arising during the year.
Sale of electricity – Windmill
Revenue from sales of electricity is recognized when all the significant risks and
rewards of ownership have been passed to the buyer, usually on transmission of
electricity based on the data provided by the electricity department.
Interest income
Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the
amount outstanding and the applicable interest rate.
Dividend income
Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive is established by
the reporting date.
Profit / loss on sale of investment
Profit/loss on sale of investment is recognized when all the significant risks and
rewards of ownership in investment is transferred.
Certified emission reduction units / renewal energy certificates
10. Revenue from certified emission reduction units / renewal energy certificates is
recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the
conditions attached to it and the grants will be received. At a minimum, these
conditions will only be met when the actual emission reductions have been realized and
the entity has reasonable assurance these reductions will be confirmed during the
verification and certification process by the respective independent authority.
BEML
Revenue is considered as
In the case of contracts for supply of complex equipment/systems where the normal
cycle time of completion and delivery period is more than 12 months and the value of the
equipment/system is more than `25 crores, revenue is recognised on the 'percentage
completion method'.
Percentage completion is based on the ratio of actual costs incurred on
the contract up to the reporting date to the estimated total cost of the product.
Since the outcome of such a contract can be estimated reliably only on achieving certain
progress, revenue is recognised up to 25% progress only to the extent of costs
thereafter revenue is recognised on proportionate basis and a contingency provision
equal to 20% of the surplus of revenue over costs is made while anticipated losses are
recognised in full.
inventory valuation policies:
BHEL:I) Inventory is valued at actual/estimated cost or net realizable value, whichever is
lower.
(ii) Finished goods in Plant and work in progress involving Hydro and Thermal sets including gas
based power plants, boilers, boiler auxiliaries, compressors and industrial turbo sets are valued
at actual/estimated factory cost or at 97.5% of the realizable value, whichever is lower.
(iii) In respect of valuation of finished goods in plant and work-in-progress, cost means factory
cost; actual/estimated factory cost includes excise duty payable on manufactured goods.
(iv) In respect of raw material, components, loose tools, stores and spares cost means
weighted average cost.
11. (v) a) For Construction contracts entered into on or after 01.04.2003: Where current estimates
of cost and selling price of a contract indicates loss, the anticipated loss in respect of such
contract is recognized immediately irrespective of whether or not work has commenced.
b) For all other contracts: Where current estimates of cost and selling price of an individually
identified project forming part of a contract indicates loss, the anticipated loss in respect of
such project on which the work had commenced, is recognized.c) In arriving at the anticipated
loss, total income including incentives on exports/deemed exports is taken into consideration.
(vi) The components and other materials purchased/manufactured against production orders
but declared surplus are charged off to revenue retaining residual value based on technical
estimates. In the case of BGGTS Traded stock is valued at the lower of cost
and net
SIEMENS:1) Inventories comprise all costs of purchase, conversion and other costs incurred
in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
1. Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV). Cost is
determined on the basis of the weighted average method (WDM).
Work in progress, finished goods and traded goods are valued at the the lower of cost and net
realisable value (NRV). Excise duty is included in the value of finished goods inventory. Cost is
determined on a weighted average basis
BEL: All inventories of the Company other than disposable scrap are valued at lower of cost or
net realizable value. Disposable scrap is valued at estimated net realizable value. Cost of
materials is ascertained by using the weighted average cost formula. Cost of work in progress
and finished goods include Materials, Direct Labor and appropriate overheads. Finished goods
at factories include applicable excise duty. Adequate provision is made for inventory which is
more than five years old which may not be required for further use.
BHARAT FORGE:
In respect of Bharat Forge America Inc. and Bharat Forge Kilsta AB, Sweden
The cost of inventory is determined on the basis of first-in first out (FIFO) method in contrast
to Bharat Forge Limited which determines on the basis of weighted average. In the current
year, there is no material impact on the results for the year as the amount of difference is
immaterial and hence ignored.
12. BEML
Inventory Valuation
(i) Raw materials, Components, Stores and Spare parts are valued at lower of Weighted
Average Cost and estimated net realizable value.
(ii) Work-in-progress is valued at lower of cost of materials, labour & production overheads
based on normative capacity and estimated net realizable value.
(iii) Finished stock is valued at lower of cost and estimated net realizable value.
(iv) Estimated costs are considered wherever actual costs are not available.
(v) The cost is adjusted for decline in value by writing down the value based on specific
identification. Necessary provision is made for non-moving items.
(vi) Based on technical assessment, provision is made for revalidation/refurbishment of
finished goods.
(vii) Scrap is valued at estimated net realizable value.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation Policies:
BHEL:
(i) Depreciation on fixed assets (other than
those used abroad under contract) is charged upto the total cost of the assets on straight-line
method as per the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956, except where
depreciation is charged at rates determined on the basis of the technically assessed estimated
useful lives shown hereunder:- Single Shift Double Shift Triple Shift General Plant & Machinery
8% 12% 16% Automatic / Semi-Automatic Machines 10% 15% 20% Erection Equipment, Capital
Tools & Tackles 20% Township Buildings – Second Class 2.5% – Third Class 3.5% Railway Sidings
8% Locomotives & Wagons 8% Electrical Installations 8% Office & Other Equipments
8% Drainage, Sewerage & Water supply 3.34% Electronic Data Processing Equipment 20% In
respect of additions to/deductions from the fixed assets, depreciation is charged on
pro-rata monthly basis.
(ii) Fixed assets used outside India pursuant to long term contracts are depreciated over the
duration of the initial contract.
13. (iii) Fixed assets costing ` 10,000/- or less and those whose written down value as at the
beginning of the year is ` 10,000/- or
Siemens:
1. Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition or revalued amounts less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of fixed assets includes taxes,
duties, freight and other incidental expenses related to the acquisition and installation
of the respective assets.
2. Depreciation is provided on the straight line method (SLM). The depreciation rates
prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Act are considered as the minimum rates. If
management’s estimate of the useful life of a fixed asset at the time of acquisition of
the asset or of the remaining useful life on a subsequent review is shorter than that
envisaged in the aforesaid schedule, Depreciation is provided at a higher rate based on
the management’s estimate of useful life/remaining life.
BEL:
Tangible depreciable Fixed Assets are generally depreciated on straight-line method over the
useful life of the assets estimated by the Management and in the manner prescribed in
Schedule II to the Companies Act, 2013. Where cost of a part of the asset is significant to total
cost of the asset and useful life of that part is different from the useful life of the remaining
asset, useful life of that significant part is determined separately and the significant part
depreciated on straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Special instruments are
amortized over related production. Intangible Assets are amortized over a period of three years
on straight-line method. Prorate depreciation / amortization is charged from / up to the date on
which the assets are ready to be put to use / are deleted or discarded. Leasehold land is
amortized over the period of lease.
BHARAT FORGE:
a) In respect of Indian subsidiaries (except BF Infrastructure Limited and Kalyani Strategic
Systems Limited)
14. Depreciation expense is calculated using “Straight Line” basis on all the assets. This is in
contrast to the practice followed by the Company where the depreciation on assets is
calculated by using “Straight Line” basis or “Written Down Value” basis depending on asset
classification. The practice would not have any material impact over the life of the asset and on
the profit for the year.
b) In respect of certain Indian subsidiaries i.e. BF Infrastructure Limited and Kalyani Strategic
Systems Limited
BEML
(a) Depreciation is charged on Straight Line Method basis adopting 'Useful Lives' as per
Schedule-II of the Companies Act, 2013 (or such shorter useful lives which in the opinion
of the management are appropriate), calculated from the month following the
month of capitalization. Depreciation on additions or extensions to existing assets is
provided so as to co-terminate with the life of the original asset if it becomes integral part of
the existing asset or on useful life of the asset if it is capable of independent use.
(b) For Assets whose unit cost does not exceed`5000/- depreciation is provided at the rate of
hundred percent in the year of capitalization.
(c) Cost of leasehold land is amortized over the period of lease on pro-rata basis.
(d) Jigs & Fixtures which are capitalized are depreciated over a period of three years

16. Net margin: Expressed as a percentage, net margin is the revenue that remains after
subtracting all operating expenses, taxes, interest and preferred stock dividends from a
company's total revenue.
Asset turnover ratio: This ratio is an efficiency measurement used to determine how effectively
a company uses its assets to generate revenue. The formula for calculating asset turnover ratio
is total revenue divided by total assets. As a general rule, the higher the resulting number, the
better the company is performing.
Equity multiplier: This ratio measures financial leverage. By comparing total assets to total
stockholders' equity, the equity multiplier indicates whether a company finances the purchase
of assets primarily through debt or equity. The higher the equity multiplier, the more leveraged
the company, or the more debt it has in relation to its total assets.
DuPont analysis involves examining changes in these figures over time and matching them to
corresponding changes in ROE. By doing so, analysts can determine whether operating
efficiency, asset use efficiency or leverage is most responsible for ROE variations.
