Chapter 1.0: Introduction and Overview

1.1 Company Profile

Ashok Leyland is a commercial vehicle manufacturing company based in Chennai

India. Founded in 1948, the company is one of India's leading manufacturers of

commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses, as well as emergency and military

vehicles. Operating six plants, Ashok Leyland also makes spare parts and engines

for industrial and marine applications. It sells about 60,000 vehicles and about

7,000 engines annually. It is the second largest commercial vehicle company in

India in the medium and heavy commercial vehicle (M&HCV) segment with a

market share of 28%. With passenger transportation options ranging from 19

seaters to 80 seaters, Ashok Leyland is a market leader in the bus segment. The

company claims to carry over 60 million passengers a day, more people than the

entire Indian rail network. In the trucks segment Ashok Leyland primarily

concentrates on the 16 ton to 25 ton range of trucks. However Ashok Leyland has

presence in the entire truck range starting from 7.5 tons to 49 tons. The joint

venture announced with of Japan would Nissan motors prove its presence in the

Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) segment (<7.5 tons). An Ashok Leyland bus run by

Following the independence of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime

Minister, persuaded Mr Raghunandan Saran, an industrialist, to enter automotive

manufacture. The company began in 1948 as Ashok Motors, to assemble Austin

cars. The company was renamed and started manufacturing commercial vehicles in

1955 with equity participation by British Leyland. Today the company is the flagship

of the Hinduja Group, a British-based and Indian originated transnational

conglomerate.

Early products included the Leyland Comet bus which was a passenger body built

on a truck chassis, sold in large numbers to many operators, including Hyderabad

Road Transport, Ahmadabad Municipality, Travancore State Transport, Bombay

State Transport and Delhi Road Transport Authority. By 1963, the Comet was

operated by every State Transport Undertaking in India, and over 8,000 were in

service. The Comet was soon joined in production by a version of the Leyland

Tiger.

In 1968, production of the Leyland Titan ceased in Britain, but was restarted by

Ashok Leyland in India. The Titan PD3 chassis was modified, and a five speed

heavy duty constant-mesh gearbox utilized, together with the Ashok Leyland

version of the O.680 engine. The Ashok Leyland Titan was very successful, and

continued in production for many years.

Over the years, Ashok Leyland vehicles have built a reputation for reliability and

ruggedness. This was mainly due to the product design legacy carried over from

British Leyland.

Ashok Leyland had collaboration with the Japanese company Hino Motors from

whom the technology for the H-series engines was bought. Many indigenous

versions of H-series engine were developed with 4 and 6 cylinder and also

conforming to BS2 and BS3 emission norms in India. These engines proved to be

extremely popular with the customers primarily for their excellent fuel efficiency.

Most current models of Ashok Leyland come with H-series engines.

In 1987, the overseas holding by Land Rover Leyland International Holdings

Limited (LRLIH) was taken over by a joint venture between the Hinduja Group, the

Non-Resident Indian transnational group and IVECO Fiat SpA, part of the Fiat

Group and Europe's leading truck manufacturer. Ashok Leyland’s long-term plan to

become a global player by benchmarking global standards of technology and

quality was soon firmed up. Access to international technology and a US$200

million investment programme created a state-of-the-art manufacturing base to roll

out international class products. This resulted in Ashok Leyland launching the

'Cargo' range of trucks based on European Ford Cargo trucks. These vehicles used

Iveco engines and for the first time had factory-fitted cabs. Though the Cargo trucks

are no longer in production and the use of Iveco engine was discontinued, the cab

continues to be used on the 'ecomet' range of trucks.

In the journey towards global standards of quality, Ashok Leyland reached a major

milestone in 1993 when it became the first in India's automobile history to win the

ISO 9002 certification. The more comprehensive ISO 9001 certification came in

1994, QS 9000 in 1998 and ISO 14001 certification for all vehicle manufacturing

units in 2002. In 2006, Ashok Leyland became the first automobile company in India

to receive the TS16949 Corporate Certification. Editor’s note: This is part of a series

of articles peeking into clean car industries and car manufacturers of China, India,

South Korea and Germany. Among many other goals, Ashok Leyland aims to

expand its operations to penetrate into overseas markets. Included in the

company’s plans is to acquire smaller car manufacturers in China and in other

developing countries. In October 2006, Ashok Leyland bought a majority stake in

the Czech based- Avia. Called Avia Ashok Leyland Motors s.r.o., this will give

Ashok Leyland a channel into the competitive European market. According to the

company, in 2008 the joint venture sold 518 LCVs in Europe despite tough

economic conditions. Furthermore, the company will expand its product offers into

construction equipment, following a joint venture with John Deere. Newly formed in

June 2009, the John Deere partnership is a 50/50 split between the companies.

The company says negotiation is progressing on land acquisition, and the

production plans are in place. The venture is scheduled to start rolling out wheel

loaders and backhoe loaders in October 2010. Aside from the full expansion

planned for the company, Ashok Leyland is also paying close attention to the

environment. In fact, they are one of the companies showing the strongest

commitment to environmental protection, utilizing eco-friendly processes in their

various plants. Even as they thrust into different directions, Ashok Leyland

maintains an R&D group that aims to uncover ways to make their vehicles more fuel

efficient and reduce emissions.

1.2 Current status

Ashok Leyland is the second technology leader in the commercial vehicles sector of

India. The history of the company has been punctuated by a number of

technological innovations, which have since become industry norms. It was the first

to introduce multi-axled trucks, full air brakes and a host of innovations like the rear

engine and articulated buses in India. In 1997, the company launched the country’s

first CNG bus and in 2002, developed the first Hybrid Electric Vehicle.

The company has also maintained its profitable track record for 60 years. The

company has increased its rated capacity to 105,000 vehicles per annum. Also

further investment plans including putting up two new plants - one in uttrakhand in

North India and a bus body building unit in middle-east Asia are fast afoot. It already

has a sizable presence in African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Egypt and South

Africa.

Ashok Leyland has also entered into some significant partnerships, seizing growth

opportunities offered by diversification and globalization – with Continental

Corporation for automotive infotronics; with Alteams in Finland for high pressure die

casting and recently, with John Deere for construction equipment. In 2010 Ashok

Leyland acquired a 26% stake in the British bus manufacturer Optare, a company

based on the premises of a former British Leyland subsidiary C.H.Roe. In

December 2011 Ashok Leyland increased its stake in Optare to 75.1%.

The Dost Story

Ever since the beginning of human civilization, men have felt the need for a

trustworthy companion for their journeys and to take care of their transportation

requirements. This need led to the growth, spread and prosperity of civilization. For

years, men experimented with various means to transport their goods and travel.

Each time they came up with better and innovative results. From first cart on wheels

to bullock carts and horse carriages, to bicycles and rickshaws, men have come a

long way in making both transportation and life easier. In India, new entrepreneurs

are setting out to build their businesses. Their search for independence, their quest

for economic growth demands a trusted and reliable partner who will bravely travel

the distance with them.

Presenting Ashok Leyland’s DOST :

DOST is a brand new offering which in comparison to the products presently

available in the SCV (Small Commercial Vehicle) segment, promises a new

experience and technology at an increased payload of 1.25 Tons. It is equipped with

a state-of-the-art 55 hp, 3 cylinder, 1.5 litre TDCR engine that is tuned for fuel

economy as well as the driveability and gradeability required for Indian roads thanks

to the Common Rail technology and a substantial torque of 150Nm. Completing the

powertrain package is a five-speed manual gear box. DOST’s practicality is further

increased by its tight turning circle radius of just 4.8 m, designed to easily negotiate

both congested city roads and narrow rural lanes. The Euro-look cab is roomy,

comfortable with superior ergonomics and an in-built safety structure. The unique

Front Transverse leaf suspension matches ride quality with high durability. The Load

Sensing Proportioning Valve (LSPV) technology measures the weight on the load

body and applies the brake force accordingly to ensure stable braking irrespective of

whether the vehicle is fully loaded or empty. DOST will be available in three versions

with the top-end version featuring air-conditioning, power steering and fabric seats.

The customer will also have a palette of three colours to choose from: white, beige

and blue. Dost is envisaged as ‘the’ next-generation product in the Indian LCV

industry, rapidly evolving on the lines of the passenger car segment. It is meant for

discerning customers who want to exert their economic and social status. It is a

company’s monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially

recorded during the year, or reported in the previous financial statements, are

recognised as income or expenses in the year in which they arise, except for

exchange differences arising on loans denominated in foreign currencies utilised for

acquisition of fixed assets from outside India, where the exchange gains/losses are

adjusted to the cost of such assets.

M. Retirement benefits

Provisions for liabilities in respect of gratuity, pension and leave encashment

benefits are made based on actuarial valuation made by an independent actuary as

at the balance sheet date. Contributions in respect of provident fund,

superannuation and gratuity are made to Trust set up by the Company for the

Purpose and charged to profit and loss account.

N. Taxes on income

Tax expenses comprise current tax, deferred tax and fringe benefit tax. The

provision for current income-tax is the aggregate of the balance provision for tax for

three months ended March 31, 2005 and the estimated provision based on the

taxable profit of remaining nine months up to December 31, 2005, the actual tax

liability, for which, will be determined on the basis of the results for the period April

1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. Deferred income tax reflects the impact of current year

timing differences between taxable income/ losses and accounting income for the

year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years. Deferred tax is measured

based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the

balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there

is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against

which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In respect of carry forward losses,

deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent there is virtual certainty that

sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such losses can be

set off. Consequent to the introduction of Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) effective April 1,

Financial Analysis of Ashok Leyland Page 26

Page 27: financial analysis by hritvik

2005, the Company has made provision for FBT in accordance with applicable

Income-tax laws.

O. Export benefits / incentives

Export entitlements under the Duty Entitlement Pass Book ("DEPB") Scheme are

recognised in the profit and loss account when the right to receive credit as per the

terms of the scheme is established in respect of the exports made. Obligation /

entitlements on account of Advance Licence Scheme for import of raw materials are

accounted for on purchase of raw materials and / or export sales.

P. Contingent liabilities

Depending on the facts of each case and after due evaluation of relevant legal

aspects, the Company makes a provision when there is a present obligation as a

result of a past event where the outflow of economic resources is probable and a

reliable estimate of the amount of obligation can be made. The disclosure is made

for all possible or present obligations that may but probably will not require outflow

of resources as contingent liability in the financial statement.

Q. Use of estimates

In preparing Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting

principles generally accepted in India, management is required to make estimates

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the

disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the

reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period; actual

results could differ from those estimates.

R. Earnings per share

Financial Analysis of Ashok Leyland Page 27

Page 28: financial analysis by hritvik

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the

period attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity

shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity

shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events of bonus issue and

share split. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit

or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average

number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all

dilutive potential equity shares.

S. Impairment of assets

The Company on an annual basis makes an assessment of any indicator that may

lead to impairment of assets. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates

the recoverable amount of the assets. If such recoverable amount is less than the

carrying amount, then the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount by

treating the difference between them as impairment loss and is charged to the profit

and loss account.

TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS

The analysis of financial statement consists of a study of relationship and trends to

determine whether or not the financial position and results of operating as well as

the financial progress of the company are satisfactory or unsatisfactory. The

analysis of facts and related data was important and a number of techniques of

analysis are:

1) balance sheet

2) profit & loss accounts

3) cash flow statement

4) fund flow statement

5) ratio analysis

2.2 BALANCE SHEET

A financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities

and shareholders' equity at a specific point in time. These three balance sheet

segments give investors an idea as to what the company owns and owes, as well as

the amount invested by the shareholders. It's called a balance sheet because the

two sides balance out. This makes sense: a company has to pay for all the things it

has (assets) by either borrowing money (liabilities) or getting it from shareholders

(shareholders' equity).  Each of the three segments of the balance sheet will have

many accounts within it that document the value of each. Accounts such as cash,

inventory and property are on the asset side of the balance sheet, while on the

liability side there are accounts such as accounts payable or long-term debt.

The exact accounts on a balance sheet will differ by company and by industry, as

there is no one set template that accurately accommodates for the differences

between different types of businesses.

2.3PROFIT & LOSS ACCOUNT

A financial statement that summarizes the revenues, costs and expenses

incurred during a specific period of time - usually a fiscal quarter or year. These

records provide information that shows the ability of a company to generate profit

by increasing revenue and reducing costs. The P&L statement is also known as a

"statement of profit and loss", an "income statement" or an "income and expense

statement".The statement of profit and loss follows a general form as seen in this

example. It begins with an entry for revenue and subtracts from revenue the costs

of running the business, including cost of goods sold, operating expenses,

tax expense and interest expense. The bottom line (literally and figuratively) is net

income (profit). Many templates can be found online for free, that can be used in

creating your profit and loss, or income statement. The balance sheet, income

statement and statement of cash flows are the most important financial statements

produced by a company. While each is important in its own right, they are meant

to be analyzed together

2.4CASH FLOW STATEMENT

3 Complementing the balance sheet and income statement, the cash flow

statement (CFS), a mandatory part of a company's financial reports since 1987,

records the amounts of cash and cash equivalents entering and leaving a

company. The CFS allows investors to understand how a company's operations

are running, where its money is coming from, and how it is being spent. Here you

will learn how the CFS is structured and how to use it as part of your analysis of

a company.

1. It is a statement that depicts change in cash position from one period to

another

2. A revenue or expense stream that changes a cash account over a given

period. Cash inflows usually arise from one of three activities - financing,

operations or investing - although this also occurs as a result of donations

Financial Analysis of Ashok Leyland Page 32

Page 33: financial analysis by hritvik

or gifts in the case of personal finance. Cash outflows result from

expenses or investments. This holds true for both business and personal

finance.

3. An accounting statement called the "statement of cash flows", which

shows the amount of cash generated and used by a company in a given

period. It is calculated by adding noncash charges (such as depreciation)

to net income after taxes. Cash flow can be attributed to a specific project,

or to a business as a whole. Cash flow can be used as an indication of a

company's financial strength

2.5 DIVIDEND

1. A distribution of a portion of a company's earnings, decided by the board of

directors, to a class of its shareholders. The dividend is most often quoted in

terms of the dollar amount each share receives (dividends per share). It can

also be quoted in terms of a percent of the current market price, referred to as

dividend yield.Also referred to as "Dividend per Share (DPS)."

2. Mandatory distributions of income and realized capital gains made to

mutual fund investors.

3. Dividends may be in the form of cash, stock or property. Most secure and

stable companies offer dividends to their stockholders. Their share prices

might not move much, but the dividend attempts to make up for this. High-

growth companies rarely offer dividends because all of their profits are

reinvested to help sustain higher-than-average growth.

4. Mutual funds pay out interest and dividend income received from their

portfolio holdings as dividends to fund shareholders. In addition, realized

capital gains from the portfolio's trading activities are generally paid out

(capital gains distribution) as a year-end dividend.

Dividend Summary

For the year ending March 2011, Ashok Leyland has declared an equity dividend of

200.00% amounting to Rs 2 per share. At the current share price of Rs 27.40 these

results in a dividend yield of 7.3%.

The company has a good dividend track report and has consistently declared

dividends for the last 5 years.

2.6 RATIOS

The ratio analyses concentrates on inter-relationship among the figures appearing in

the aforementioned four financial statements. The ratio analysis helps the

management to analyses the past performance of the firm and to make further

projection. Ratio analysis allows interested parties like shareholder, investors,

creditors, Government and analysts to make an evaluation of certain aspects of a

firm performance. Ratio analysis is a process of comparison of one figure against

another, which makes a ratio and the appraisal of the ratios to make proper analyses

about the strength and weakness of the firms operations. The calculation of ratios is

a relatively easy and simple task but the proper analyses and interpretation of the

ratios can be made only by the skilled analyst. While interpreting the financial

information, the analyst has to be careful in limitations imposed by the accounting

concepts and methods of valuation. Information of non-financial nature will also be

taken into consideration before a meaningful analyses is made. Ratio analysis is

extremely helpful in providing valuable insight into a company s financial picture.

Ratios normally pinpoint a business strength and weakness in two ways Ratios

provide an easy way to compare today performance with past Ratios depict the

areas in which a particular business is competitively advantaged or disadvantages

Financial Analysis of Ashok Leyland Page 35

Page 36: financial analysis by hritvik

through comparing ratios to those of other business of the same size within the

same industry.

Classification of Ratio

Ratio may be classified in a number of ways keeping in view the particular purpose.

Ratio indicating profitability is calculated on the basis of the profit and loss A/ C;

those indicating financial are computed on the basis of balance sheet. To achieve

analysis effective understanding of the profitability and financial position of

business, ratio may be classified as:

A. LIQUIDITY RATIO:

The short-term liquidity ratio, which measures the liquidity of the firm and its ability

to meet it maturing short term obligations. Liquidity is defined as the ability to realize

value in money, the most liquid of assets. It refers to the ability to pay n cash, the

obligations that are due. Following are the main types of the liquidity ratio.

o Current Ratio

o Quick Ratio`

o Net-Working Capital Ratio

B. LEVERAGE RATIO:

The long-term financial stability of the firm may be consider upon its ability to meet

all its liabilities, including those not currently payable. The ratios which are important

in measuring the long term solvency ratio are as follows:-

o Total Debt to Equity Ratio

o Debt to total Capital Ratio

o Interest Coverage Ratio

C. PROFITABILITY RATIO:

The purpose of study and analysis of profitability ratios are to help assess the

adequacy of profits earned by the company and also to discover whether the

Profitability is increasing or declining. The profitability of the firm is the net result of

Financial Analysis of Ashok Leyland Page 36

Page 37: financial analysis by hritvik

a large number of the policies and decisions. The profitability ratios show the

combined effects of liquidity, asset management and debt management on

operating results. Profitability ratios are measured with reference to sales, capital

employed, total assets employed, shareholders fund etc. The major profitability

rates are as follows:-

o EBIT to Sales Ratio

o EAT To Sales

o Working Capital to Net Assets

o Return on Capital

D. TURNOVER RATIO:

Activity ratio or turnover ratio measure how effectively the firm employs its

resources. These ratios are called turnover ratios which involve comparison

between the level of sales and investment in various accounts inventories, debtors,

fixed assets, etc, activity ratios are used to measure the speed with which various

accounts are converted into sales or cash. The following activity ratios are

calculated for analysis.

o Inventory Ratio
