Trading – The Company operates in the commodities trading space through 3 different sub verticals. The financial year FY 20 saw significantly volatility in commodity prices, particularly in the second half of the year, resulting in adverse swings in volumes and margins in the trading businesses. a. Metals – The Metals vertical trades services to both upstream and downstream products of the Steel and Aluminium industries. In the upstream TIL has managed to expand and grow its presence in the higher value added products within the Aluminium sector with addition of capacity to develop copper insert bars and expansion into Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC). In the downstream, TIL has managed to develop a trade flow in Iron Ore Fines and Pellets from India to Asia, which helped grow both the top line and bottom line in our Metallics and Rolls business. Unfortunately during the year under review, the Section 232 tariffs imposed by the US Government in 2018, on all steel and aluminium imports continued and was further acerbated by a trade war with China, which lead to further protectionism in the form of quotas, safeguards and other measures by various key markets around the world. This growing protectionism had an adverse effect on existing trade flows as well as creating far more volatility in prices, As a result of which, the Steel Trading business was not able to grow volumes or margins as planned. However, it was able to maintain and grow its presence in value added products, which did ensure the business still achieved a marginal profit. b. Minerals – The Minerals vertical operates primarily in the thermal coal segment, with a relatively smaller presence in the base metals and Ferro alloys segment. The primary target market comprises India, Vietnam and China, with sourcing from South Africa, Indonesia and other origins. Approximately 9 million tons of coal was traded in FY 20. 3 TATTTA INTERNATIONAL LIMITED The India coal business, supported by a strong focus on corporate sales, delivered healthy return for the first three quarters of the financial year. Multiple cross-functional initiatives undertaken during the year helped to improve operating efficiencies. The Business successfully managed to get repeat orders for coal in Vietnam, though it had to deal with quality issues in some of the shipments resulting in pressure on margins. Continued thrust on working capital helped the business achieve record reductions in working capital freeing up the cash flows. The vertical strengthened its performance in the area of trade optimization and multi-origin sourcing, besides successfully piloting an entry into a new line of business (trade of coking coal) to strengthen its product portfolio. Owing to an unprecedented drop in coal prices and steep depreciation in rupee against USD, in the last quarter of the financial year, the India business was very adversely affected and delivered significant losses. c. Agri Products Trading - The Agri Products Trading vertical operates from various geographies like India, Myanmar, Canada and Africa and deals in products like pulses, sugar, raw cashew nuts, rice etc. Consequent to the induction of a new leadership team, management decided to restructure the Agri Trading business and to focus on India and Myanmar as its chosen geographies and pulses and sugar as its key products. The Company initiated the process to exit from other geographies and products thereafter. As on March 2020, the restructuring process is almost complete. Going forward business will have a lean structure and focus on reducing working capital with improved margins. 2. Distribution business The Distribution vertical focuses on Commercial vehicles and Agricultural and Construction equipment. It represents several OEMs such as Tata Motors, John Deere, Daewoo and Jaguar Land Rover across 14 African countries. 4 57TH ANNUAL REPORT 2019-2020 The Vertical has adopted a differentiation strategy which enabled it to achieve higher profits and embark upon an improving trend over the last couple of years. This commercial strategy is based on: a) Uptime: Focus on prompt after sale service and adequate supply of spare parts to ensure that the vehicles/ equipment continue to serve our clients for the entire useful life as designed. Greater predictability of products and services resulted in deepening of client relationships and cemented our longstanding track record of a trusted counterpart; which resonates well with the Tata brand globally. b) Retail Finance: We increased our footprint to include Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, Zambia, Kenya and South Africa. By doing so we increased our share of wallet with clients whilst generating improving margins. c) Improved Product differentiation: Bringing in new OEMs to provide a holistic product mix more in line with market requirements. Further, to improve the operational efficiency, the vertical has taken following steps: (i) Consistent approach to credit intake, KYC, credit decisions and loan fulfilment. Today we engage not only with our own retail financing division, but also with external collection agents to focus on cash collections whilst continually engaging with client to reassess their financial commitments. (ii) We engaged external consultants to redesign some of our cost levers with good results. (iii) We are breaking new ground by engaging with Banks
