T T LTD POSTS 1152% INCREASE IN PROFITS FOR HALF YEAR ENDED 30.9.12
T T Ltd announced its Q2 results for 2012-13 in its Board meeting on October 29, 2012. After a very difficult 2011-12, the Company has managed to beat all economic adversities and post a jump of 1152% in net profits for H1, 2012-13 on a year to year basis. The turnover of H1 (Rs. 226.57 crores) was 13.26% higher, while EBITDA went up by 242.68%.
The Managing Director, Sanjay K Jain attributed this performance to its strategic move to shift focus from exports to the domestic market and increase sales of its value added branded garments segment. He said the Company has increased its advertisement by 45% and garment sales have gone up by 38.30%. He said the Company could have done better had there not been production constraints due to power and labour shortage. However production capacities have been augmented by the completion of its garment expansion project in Avinashi, Tamil Nadu and it hopes to maintain the same growth momentum in the 2nd half of the FY 2012-13.(/p>
He said the moderation in cotton prices and strong demand of yarn from China has also helped in posting better margins in the yarn segment. The high power cost impact has also been moderated by captive wind power and purchase of power through IEX.
He also informed that its Rs 100 crore expansion project in Gujarat is on schedule and is expected to be completed by March 2013. The recently announced Gujarat Textile Policy is a big positive for this project and would lead to a big saving in interest.
The Company plans to leverage the strong brand equity of its brand “ T T” and grow its garment segment with a combination of product and geographic diversification. It has also recently launched its online shopping site – ttgarments.com to take a share of this fast growing sales channel. It is also in the process of promoting its garments in the Middle East & African market. The new company slogan is “ Zindagi is good ” and it hopes the same for all its stakeholders.

The EPS for the first 9 months is Rs 7.00(Rs. 9.33 annualised).
Mr Sanjay Kr. Jain, JMD attributed the performance to the strong recovery in the global textiles scenario, the large cotton crop in India and the Company’s thrust on its value added knitwear segment. The Company presence in the entire chain “Fibre to Fashion” has benefitted the company immensely in this volatile and rising raw material scenario.
The large cotton crop of India as against crop failures in some major competiting nations like Pakistan, China and Australia has given Indian companies a huge competitive advantage in the global textiles field which is fuelling bottomline growth in the sector. He sees a very bright future for the Indian textile industry especially in cotton based textiles.
He further stated that the Company has tripled its advertisement budget as against last year and is planning to further step up advertisement through electronic, press and local media for its “TT” brand. It has introduced a range of new products in its knitwear segment. The local organised knitwear market is growing by 15%, which the Company has been able to better, due to effective leveraging of its brand equity and a double edged strategy of product and market diversification. The Company has diversified its product range to include casual wear and provide products for the entire family – men, ladies and children. It has further made distributors all across the country and tied up with all major organised retail chains. The Company has also made a soft launch of e-shopping for its knitwear range and will be looking for tie-ups with major online shopping sites. The Company is marketing its casual range under the sub brand – “COOL” and has launched a premium brand “Coco Tree” to cover the top end of the market pyramid.
The Company commitment to a cleaner environment is strong. Its southern units are already running on renewable resources like wind power and bio mass. It plans to install wind power turbines in Gujarat to run its units there also on clean energy. The Company has also made a foray in value added organic products. It has got certification from Control Union, Europe and is exporting organic yarn in a big way. Further it has currently introduced range of organic innerwear – GREEN VESTS & BRIEFS for the first time in India. It now plans to extend this range to other styles.
The Company has also made a small and modest entry into retailing. It has opened 20 exclusive franchisee retail shops in NCR. These shops are modeled on the concept of friendly neighbourhood shop providing basic utility non fashion knitwear at a discount to MRP. A few more stores are in the pipeline and hope to be opened soon. The Company will take this model pan India once the systems are fully tried and tested.
