Escorts Kubota Ltd
Chairman Speech
Building sustainable solutions for a better world
We aim to create a common corporate culture with Kubota based on its
slogan of "On Your Side".
It is to respect our colleagues, along with the business partners such
as dealers and suppliers and achieve goals as a team with all the stakeholders.
Dear Shareholders,
We at Escorts Kubota are paving a new path forward, respecting our rich
history of Escorts' 76 and Kubota's 132 years. The infusion of culture from Japan and
India is ready to give shape to an organisation which embeds the strengths of two
legacies.
Our vision is to become a Company that is truly loved and sought after
by society and employees, provide solutions to society for a sustainable world and to
become a manufacturing hub for the world from India by utilising the capability and
potential of our country.
We are delighted to present our 2nd Integrated and 77th Annual Report,
showcasing our commitment to creating value for you over the past seven-and-half-decades.
In FY2023, we witnessed a gradual return to normalcy in supply chains,
energy and food markets. The Indian Tractor market had double-digit growth with a peak
volume of 9.45 lakhs.
The government's support through various policy measures, thrust
on domestic manufacturing driven by its self-reliance mission, coupled with reduced
private sector debt and increased investment in infrastructure projects, positions India
as a major player in the global economy. India is poised for even greater success and
prosperity in the coming years.
As reported by Morgan Stanley about India's journey in the next decade,
first, the Indian population will touch 1.5 billion by 2030, which means growing demand
for food and second that India is estimated to have a surplus
of 245 million skilled labour, which indicates that the world will
invest in India and become a hub for the world markets. The infrastructure requirement to
bring the Indian economy into the top three economies of the world will require large
investments and thus, also increase the scope for construction and railway businesses at
EKL.
At Escorts Kubota Limited, we take pride in actively contributing to
India's journey of growth and progress. Our unwavering focus on enhancing farm
productivity through mechanisation underscores our commitment to improving food security.
We are dedicated to forging a safer and technologically advanced future for the
construction industry in India by introducing innovative products and solutions. As a
trusted partner of Indian Railways, we remain steadfast in catering to the evolving needs
of the sector. We are actively involved in developing products that meet the requirements
of ongoing rail transport and metro projects, ensuring our commitment to serving the
nation's emerging needs.
We are resolute in our mission to be a catalyst for positive change,
supporting the socio-economic development of India and delivering solutions that make a
lasting impact. The strength of Escorts' speed, agility and frugality and Kubota's
technology, processes, and quality will jointly be embedded at Escorts Kubota to discover
ways of newer opportunities and give a new experience in the farming and industrial space.
This is an opportunity for us to offer an exceptional experience to our society,
customers, and an exciting path for both our stakeholders and shareholders.
Our partnership with Kubota has created a powerful synergy, blending
our frugal manufacturing expertise, engineering excellence, and value consciousness with
Kubota's diversified global presence, technological leadership, and strong market
position.
We have three critical mission statements, Sustainability, Contribution
and Solution - the first is to work towards sustainable growth, second in contributing
towards the living environment, where people (especially, farmers, women and socially
vulnerable people) can live comfortably and the third to work towards further
mechanisation and providing total solutions for our customer needs.
We have accelerated towards digitisation, bringing in agility, and
relooking at our costs and business model to deliver great customer engagement and
enhanced experience.
Performing Together.
A Year Of Resilience.
As we reflect on the past year and look ahead to the future, we are
proud to share the progress and potential of our collaboration with Kubota in Escorts
Kubota Limited. Our partnership with Kubota has created a powerful synergy, blending our
frugal manufacturing expertise, engineering excellence, and value consciousness with
Kubota's diversified global presence, technological leadership, and strong market
position. Together, we are on the path to becoming one of the largest Indo-Japan
agriculture collaborations which will contribute towards future farming practices.
In FY2023, we achieved a growth of 16.0% in standalone revenue from
operations, reaching H8,345.0 crores, compared to H7,196.9 crores in
FY2022. This growth was driven by strong volume and revenue growth across all three
business segments.
However, our EBITDA for the year declined by 21.6%, from H995.5 crores
in FY2022 to H780.4 crores in FY2023. This decline was primarily due to the steep
inflation in commodity prices and other costs, which adversely impacted our margins. Our
PAT for the year stood at H607.0 crores, a decline of 20.7% compared to H765.6 crores in
FY2022. The decline was largely due to the provision made on account of the impairment of
investment in Tadano Escorts India Private Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary Escorts
Crop Solutions Limited.
In terms of segment-wise performance, our tractor volumes grew by 9.6%
to 1,03,290 units, and we maintained our strong position in the domestic tractor market
with a slight decline in market share by 26 bps to 10.1% in FY2023 from 10.3% in FY2022.
Looking ahead, we expect demand momentum to continue across geographies in the
agribusiness segment, with better crop prices, improved finance availability, and good
water reservoir levels.
In our construction equipment segment, sales volume increased by 12.2%
to 4,620 units. We witnessed growth across material handling, earthmoving,
and road segments. The current market sentiments are positive, and
demand is expected to remain buoyant due to the continuous focus of the government towards
infrastructure projects.
Our railway equipment segment also delivered strong growth, with
revenues increasing by 32.3% to H841.9 crores. Our railway business has also been
consistently growing, and the focus on the rail network and connectivity will further
provide impetus to the segment.
As we move forward, we will continue to offer state-of-the-art
technology and solutions to our customers for increased productivity and operational
efficiency. Our investments in expanding coverage, building capacity, and producing
innovative product lines will continue for enhanced customer reach and product experience.
With our strong market position, diversified portfolio of products and services, and focus
on operational excellence, we remain confident of delivering long-term value to our
stakeholders.
Our efforts are aligned with our Mid Term Business Plan for achieving
targeted growth in the coming years.
Unleashing Potential Through Our Mid Term Business Plan (MTBP)
With an unwavering commitment to solving societal issues and driving
sustainable growth, we embark on our Mid Term Business Plan (MTBP) with a powerful
visionto become a revered and sought-after Company, deeply cherished by society and
our valued employees. Harnessing India's immense capabilities, we strive to establish
ourselves as a strategic hub, making a profound and lasting difference on a global scale.
This has been jointly prepared by Kubota and Escorts team, keeping in
mind our desired growth plan in both domestic and export markets. This is a strategic plan
till FY2028.
The main pivot of the plan revolves around:
We aspire for our revenue to grow 2.5 times, this growth will
come from both the Indian and Global markets.
We will invest in creating a global R&D centre and create
abilities to design and produce products for the three brands of tractors, namely Kubota,
Farmtrac and Powertrac.
We will also create a shared service centre within R&D, to
support Kubota's global needs, such as digital transformation, R&D design support,
engineering support and other innovative projects partnership.
We will leverage our channel strength both in the domestic and
global market to reach aspiration for growth.
All our manufacturing to be aligned with KBTs
manufacturing standards and excellence.
We will focus on profitable growth, work towards reaching our
EBITDA targets and be mindful of ROI
on our investment and creating shareholder wealth.
We have identified 5 major concepts to achieve our vision, mainly:
O Expansion of Existing Businesses
We will significantly enhance the product variety and launch jointly
developed products for all the brands Farmtrac, Powertrac and Kubota.
For the sales channel, we will be introducing Kubota's
customer-oriented sales policies and practices in India and global markets. Based on
dealer and customer feedback, we will improve product, supply chain, and service, and
further strengthen our sales network in terms of both quantity and quality. In addition,
we will enhance our retail finance and training systems. For exports, we will work closely
with Kubota Group companies to supply made-in-India products to the world with good prices
and quality and
take a leadership position in India-led exports. Another critical focus
will be on strengthening retail finance.
Along with joint development with EKL and Kubota, we shall also expand
the scope of R&D by opening shared services for Kubota as well. Furthermore, we will
promote open innovation through Rajan Nanda Innovation Lab (RNIL) to speed up
collaboration with start-ups and academia, like what Kubota is doing in Japan, the US, and
Europe. We would like to make ourselves a base to make India's excellent technology
into products and deliver them to the global market. Also, our joint R&D efforts will
invest immensely in new and innovative products and technology for enhanced customer
experience.
