Management Discussion and Analysis
2.
- After growing at over 39.6% in FY2010 and 35.5% in FY2011, our domestic motorcycle sales in FY2012 grew by 6.3%. The reasons may be many. Yet, the fact remains that the market grew faster, at over 11.9%. It is imperative that Bajaj Auto increases its domestic motorcycle sales and market share in the years ahead.
- It is also due to an excellent export performance where 31% growth in volume — itself very creditable on a relatively high base — was bettered by 45% growth in value. (Effect of currency ?)
- After clocking 26% growth in FY2010 followed by 23% growth in FY2011, the number of motorcycles sold in India increased by 11.9% in FY2012 — growth slowing down to 9% in Q3 FY2012, followed by 6% in Q4 FY2012. Despite this, Bajaj Auto has posted excellent results. In such an environment, the Company focused on driving the sales of more profitable products in its portfolio, coupled with strong improvement initiatives on the input side. In a nutshell, FY2012 was a year of consolidation, with slower growth than the past two years, but with high profitability
- Both urban and rural markets were affected by high consumer interest rates, increasing petrol prices and overall inflation. Even the 11.9% growth was severely skewed across quarters as well as segments. Sales of models belonging to the upper end Performance segment remained flat year-on-year. With a substantial proportion of Bajaj Auto’s business coming from the Performance segment, the Company’s sales growth by volume was more muted at 6%.
- The good news is that Bajaj Auto continues to dominate the performance segment. It sold 716,267 motorcycles in this segment in FY2012, with a market share of 44%. This, despite the segment being most hotly contested by every major two-wheeler company with a large number of models fighting for market share.
- Bajaj Auto unveiled the next generation Pulsar 200 NS in January 2012.
- To dominate the high end, Bajaj Auto launched the KTM Duke 200 in January 2012.
- Domestic sales for three-wheelers across the industry in FY2012 declined by 2.4% to 513,251 units.
- Company has not granted any shares by way of stock option to any of the employees so far.
Subsidiary
- Bajaj Auto International Holdings BV is a 100% Netherlands based subsidiary has invested € 189.9 million for a 47.18% ownership KTM Power Sports AG of Austria.
- In calendar year 2011, KTM strongly rode out of the downturn selling 81,200 motorcycles, achieving a turnover of € 526.8 million and a profit of €20.8 million. (Bajaj's share in profit roughly 70 crore ?)
