Business Operations

The year started with pandemic-induced inflation and the conflict in Ukraine. With the later compounding the effects of the former, central banks across the world resorted to tightening of monetary policies. Slowing economic activity in China due to its tighter COVID-19 restrictions, helped ease some pressure on commodity prices due to lower demand. However, this had ripple effect on economic growth across the globe. With overall commodity prices stagnant, albeit at higher levels than previous years.

With advanced economies growing at 2.7% and emerging markets growing at modest 4% during the year, India was the only big economy recording close to 7% growth. This, along with global inflation at 8.7%, made it vital for the Company to focus on domestic market for product order booking. The Company, however, succeeded in acquiring strategic service order from South African state utility company.

On consolidated basis revenue from operations during the year was '' 12,476 million, an increase of 46%. Operating profit (EBITDA) was higher by 44% at '' 2,764 million against previous year’s EBITDA of '' 1,921 million. Operating margins of the Company have been maintained through measures taken to control input material costs, manufacturing and selling & administration expenses. Substantial growth in the

revenue was delivered with capacity addition at suppliers, assembly shop and overall headcount. Cash flows from operations were satisfactory and liquidity has improved substantially.

In the domestic market, the Company was able to increase order finalization by 30% over the previous year. International order bookings grew at a faster rate than the domestic market, with an annual increase of 44% over the previous year. Turbines for oil & gas and distributed renewable power generation continue to be primary growth drivers for the finalization of new products during the year. The surge in order booking in the aftermarket industry was driven by spares and refurbishing business from international markets.

Company’s foray into new geographies and customer segments has been successful during the year. In the 30-100 MW market, TTL has established its presence in a short time as one of the top 3 solution provider in terms of market share (in MW). In API segment, also the Company was successful in improving its enquiry base and market share. The Company’s execution team took the challenge of higher volume head on and developed capacities - both in-house and with suppliers - to meet the challenge. The value delivery chain was also strengthened by adding competent people across its engineering and execution functions.

Human Resources

We strongly believe that employees continue to be the key driving force and a pivotal source to enable competitive advantage of the Company. The Company’s ongoing efforts to align organizational priorities with employees’ aspirations have helped in the development of a robust and resilient workforce in a significant way. The employee’s mental toughness, focus and the sense of belonging enabled them to continue their journey in supporting the Company’s priorities without interruption. As an organization, the two-tiered approach - timely COVID-19

vaccination of all employees & their family members as well as coverage under "Corona Kavach” to safeguard them from medical risk - immensely helped the Company in terms of zero man-hours lost owing to the Pandemic.

The Company’s HR processes and practices for attracting, engaging, motivating and retaining employees have made significant contribution to creating an environment where employees can give their best. The continuing focus on fostering a high performing culture and building competencies for the present and future has supported in adapting to the changing business scenario.

The keys to dealing with uncertainty are adaptability, flexibility, and agility. This was exemplified effectively while driving the GETs’ introduction into the Company. Although the Pandemic delayed GETs onboarding, it did not deter the induction and preparedness of GETs for business roles from being completed on schedule. This was accomplished while maintaining the content, quality, and intensity of the Company’s marquee GET induction program.

The Company continues its efforts to connect, communicate, and engage with employees in order to foster a learning culture that will enable high-performing

teams to cope with the VUCA world. Development, engagement, and successful talent management through constant re-skilling and upskilling of employees, as well as building the leadership bench and creating a talent pipeline for the future, are critical to the growth ambitions of the Company.

Your Directors wish to take this opportunity to express their sincere appreciation to all the stakeholders, customers, suppliers, shareholders, employees, the Central Government, the Karnataka Government, financial institutions, banks and all other business associates for their whole-hearted support and co-operation.

No material changes and commitments affecting the financial position of the Company have occurred between the end of the financial year of the Company to which these financial statement relate and the date of this report.

Business Operations

The performance may be considered satisfactory given the subdued business conditions in the domestic and international market and various key positives achieved by the Company.

During the year, the Company has achieved 18% higher order intake, over the previous year. This has been made possible through effective marketing and focus on key markets, and our international offices have played a pivotal role in achieving the target. A healthy carry forward order book, higher by 12% over the previous year’s, forms the basis for an expected improved performance during the next financial year. Further, world class new manufacturing facility has been set up which will help the Company in quality improvement, shortening delivery lead time, manufacturing turbines of higher range and making available capacity to meet higher demand.

The order booking in the domestic market during the year was almost at the same level as the previous year. There are some early signals of moderate improvement in the domestic market of under 30 MW in the last quarter of the year. This may be due to gradual wearing of the effects of demonetisation and GST New enquiry generation during the current year has been good with an increase of 7 percent over last year.

The order booking in the international market was higher by 44% over the previous year and the trend of order booking continues to be encouraging till the date of the report. During the year, the business buoyancy was not broad based but was limited to only a few select regions showing spurts of growth, but our Company has consciously broad based our offerings over a wider geography, thereby minimising the risk of overdependence on few geographies. The Company has consciously also focused efforts on high potential pockets for growth in identified areas.

In order to maintain sustainable revenue growth in near future, the Company has focused to strengthen the marketing organisation with competent professionals, clear accountability and targets. Necessary investments have been made in product development and marketing set-up in India and for foreign subsidiaries. The benefits of these investments is expected to be reflected in the future operations.

Despite subdued business conditions, the aftermarket business has shown good growth of 14%. The activity level in the domestic market has picked up steam and has seen a steady growth in enquiry generation. Driven by our persistent efforts in the domestic market in several key sectors, we could persuade customers for improvements and upgrades on their existing steam turbines. Building up on the past efforts in setting up global offices and ensuring close proximity to our customer base, the Company is actively pursuing new enquiries with a view to grow international aftermarket business. The Company has already seen a build-up in sentiment in select export markets.

A robust R&D is at the core of our strategy to benchmark against the global leaders and narrow any gap that may exist in product performance and competitiveness, without sacrificing on cost competitiveness and our unique ability of delivering against aggressive timelines. The Company strives to build on its leadership position in industrial steam turbines by providing a value proposition to customers - technically efficient products and world class service backed by technology.

Dividend

The Board has in its meeting held on November 08, 201 7 declared an Interim dividend of 45% (Rs.0.45 per equity share). Further, the Board of Directors have recommended a final dividend of 55% (Rs.0.55 per equity share) for the financial year ended March 31, 2018 and consequently, the total equity dividend for FY 18 amounts to Rs.1.00 per equity share (100%) and the total outgo including for the proposed final dividend for the FY 18, is Rs.397.50 million (including dividend distribution tax) versus Rs.476.58 million (corresponding to 120 % dividend) in the previous year.

This was due to subdued demand arising from the economic slow- down and low business sentiments. Even in the international market, there were undue delays in the fnalisations of orders owing to multiple reasons - currency depreciation in the ASEAN, and SAARC countries, political unrest in some European and Asian countries and the general economic slowdown. Our PBT margins were reduced due to the reduced turnover, but in spite of this decline, we have been able to achieve margins above 20%. Our focus continues to be on expansion of our footprints in the global market and to exploit the after-market business potential especially in the international market. Normalcy was restored in the second half of the year under review when almost 70% of the orders booked during the year were received. At the end of FY 14, our outstanding order book is comfortable at Rs. 5.8 billion, an increase of 23% versus end FY 13 on a

standalone basis, and Rs. 7.1 billion on a consolidated basis, which is a growth of 45%. The fow of orders from the export market is continuing and it gives us confdence that our performance in the financial year 2014-15 will greatly improve, and be close to the level achieved in FY 13.

We have received increased enquiries from Europe, Turkey, SAARC region and Africa which augurs well for future orders from these countries. We have identified key countries and sectors for a focused marketing thrust. We are also increasing our efforts on creating brand awareness and positioning Triveni Turbines as a strong global brand which offers the best product efficiencies and customer Specific value propositions. During the year, our R&D department, which is approved by the Department of Scientifc Industrial Research, Government of India, designed and developed eleven advanced models and variants. These new models address the requirements for both ends of the product range and proven hybrid technologies have been employed to enhance the value of the product to the customer. The company is meticulously safeguarding its intellectual property and during the year achieved 42 IP flings in India and overseas.

During the year, GE Triveni Limited (GETL) a subsidiary of the Company and a joint venture with General Electric Inc., achieved increased order bookings of Rs. 1.82 billion which included international orders of Rs. 1.46 billion. Having achieved a breakthrough in the international market, the outlook for GETL in the coming years appears very promising.

We expect a growth in export order-booking and sales during FY14 on the back of the last two year''s intensive global marketing efforts. With the strong focus on exports and after-market, the Company expects to maintain its margins in the coming year.

The good work done in the past few years on innovation, research & development and new product introductions catering to changing global customers'' needs are continuing. Strengthening the Company''s intellectual property and filing of new patents globally, will continue as a focus area.
