EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main objective of most privately held for-profit companies is to make money in the present and over the long run. If a company is not able to generate enough economic profit over time, its survival is questionable. Moreover, companies making little or no profit are not very attractive for potential investors looking for returns. Management interested in investors’ satisfaction has to manage cost and economic value while maintaining at least some minimum profitability level. There needs to be a move towards real improvement and value creation as opposed to clever manipulation of financial data for short term performance gains. Increasingly competitive global markets have rendered many traditional performance measurements and reward systems obsolete. The need for organizations

to

adapt

to

today’s

dynamic

and

complex

business

environment in order to remain competitive is clear. In addition, the investment community has increased the pressure on managers to deliver value,

driving

for

more

accurate

and

transparent

performance

measurement. As a result, many organizations have had to re-examine their traditional performance measures and the structure of the compensation schemes that were built around them in the past decade. New measurement techniques are now based on economic theory rather than the accounting framework. But what framework should a company use? And once a new framework is implemented, does it mean that a company should ignore all others? Economic Value Added (EVAÂŽ), a framework developed by Stern Stewart & Co., that is becoming increasingly popular with companies in a wide range of industries. This project aims to determine the EVA of Hindalco Industries Limited and shows how EVA can be used as a financial tool to improve performance and increase the value Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

The main products of this unit are

Alumina Hydrate, Calcimined metallurgical grade alumina and Specialty grades of alumina and Hydrate.

The Alumina Plant was set up with a

capacity of 1,60,000 tons of Alumina per year. Smelter Plant had a capacity of 73,000 tons of metal per year. Due to the hike in the power rates, the plotlines in the Smelter had to be de-energized in 1995. The subsidiary of Smelter Plant- Carbon Paste and Block Plant is still in operation. Owing to increased demand of hydrate, alumina and Specialty chemicals in the export market, the Alumina Plant was expanded in several stages and currently operates at about 3,40,000 tones of Hydrate (as Alumina ) per annum. The Specials Plant- a branch of Alumina plant manufacturing specialty grades of hydrate and Alumina is being operated at 60 KT per annum. The raw material-Bauxite is brought from Durgamanwadi Mine 120 Kms, from Belgaum.

About 70% of the total productions are exported.

The

Carbon Paste and Block Plant is operated using imported raw materials (Carbon Pitch Coke) from Korea. Marketing of Hydrates and Alumina is a major business objective, both at the domestic and International Levels. Since both alumina & hydrate find wide usage in diverse industries such as high-grade refractors, Zeolite, alum, plastics, paper, industrial ceramics and high-tension insulators etc. All business unit of Hindalco are ISO 9002 certified & upstream units of mines, alumina plants, smelter power plant& one downstream extrusions units

MANUfACtUrING PrOCESS: Production of Alumina primarily involves two important raw materials Bauxite and Alumina bearing ore and electric for which an abundant supply is necessary. Bauxite is an ore formed by the weathering of Aluminum – bearing rocks. The ore us obtained by a quarrying operation, which includes ripper dozer. About 2.8 tones of Bauxite are required to make one tone of alumina. This involves chemical processing of the or into Alumina by a method called the BAYER PROCESS. At the Alumina Plant, the crushed Bauxite is mixed with a solution of Caustic Soda and then digested in large pressure vessels.

Caustic Soda

dissolves the Alumina present in the Bauxite. This process is called DIGESTION. Classification the solution containing Alumina is separated, by setting filtering, from insoluble solid impurities such as Iron Oxide, Titanium and Silica.

The resulting residue commonly called red mud is discarded and

sent to the red mud pond. During PRECIPITATION, the clear liquor is pumped into large tanks called precipitators.

After ‘seeding’ with fine

crystalline particles of Hydrated Alumina produced earlier, circulation is started through airlift pipes.

During circulation, new crystals formed by

cooling separate out of the solution. After sufficient Alumina has separated, the crystals are settled and washed free of Caustic liquor. The final stage in refining is called CAlCINATIONS. After precipitation the Hydrated Alumina contains approximately 1/3 of its own weight of combined water, which is removed to obtain alumina free from water molecules. This dehydration process is achieved by heating the Alumina on

WOrLD CLASS MANUfACtUrING ACtIvItIES: WCM is a competitive strategy that aims for shareholder's value creation enough focus on sustainable and superior QCEIP performance and other parameters. The objective of our WCM initiative is to successfully compete with any organization in which every employee from top to bottom is working towards making that organization the best in its particular field. It is based on the idea that each person is an expert in his or her own job, and by synergizing the collective thinking power, creativity and job knowledge of everyone in the organization, we can accomplish this objective. One cannot seek cultural change in a businesslike manner. It is not something that can be bought or installed like computer software. Developing a culture is like planting a garden. It takes time. It requires vision, planning and systematic & disciplined application of skill and efforts. One could understand that the task is by no means easy, as part of the problem is duality of WCM philosophy that stresses both on Instrumental and the inspirational. The inspiration is essential for sustaining the initial flush of enthusiasm. MAIN PURPOSES Of WCM WORkShOP ARE:  Build up the Top Management Will, thus getting a Commitment from them.  To introduce and proliferate the concepts, tools and techniques of World. Class manufacturing at all levels.  Develop Leads (known as Champions of Change) to further proliferate the WCM Concepts in plant once the Conference cum Workshop is over.

ECONOMIC VAlUE ADDED

INtrODUCtION:

In a market-driven economy many companies will create wealth. Other firms however will undoubtedly destroy it. Discovering those economic factors that lead to wealth creation and destruction among companies is important to many constituencies, not the least of which is corporate officials and investment

managers.

For

corporate

managers,

wealth

creation

is

fundamental to the economic survival of the firm. The average long-run return on stock markets has been very stable in the past century. The average return has been about 6%-points above the return of long risk-free bond. (With the current interest rates this means about 11% per annum.) Investors can easily achieve the average stock market return in the long-run (diversified long-term investment in stock index). This average stock market return is thus the alternative return on investors’ capital. Losing the alternative return or even a part of the easily available alternative return is losing money. Therefore investors and company owners do not (have to) accept below average returns in the long Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

A STUDY ON ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED of HINDALCO INDUSTRIES LTD run from any of their companies. The alternative return establishes a minimum return requirement. Finding the “best” companies and industries in the marketplace is of primary importance to investment managers. With the proper financial tools, portfolio managers may be able to enhance their active performance over-and-above the returns available on similar risk indexed passive strategies. A new analytical tool called EVA is now assisting this wealthdiscovery and company-selection process.

StAtEMENt Of tHE PrOBLEM: The study has been under taken in the organization for the purpose to know the “Economic Value Added (EVA)” of the company for five years

IMPOrtANCE Of tHE StUDY: There are numerous aspects of EVA that makes it an important topic for the study. It is important measure currently being used by several firms to determine whether an existing/proposed investment positively contributes to the owners’/share – holders’ wealth. The EVA is equal after – tax operating profits of a firm less the cost of funds used to finance investments.

A

positive

EVA

would

increase

owners’

value/wealth.

Therefore, only investments with positive EVA would be desirable from the viewpoint of maximizing shareholders’ wealth. To illustrate, assuming an after – tax profit of Rs 40 corer and associated costs of financing the investments of Rs 38 corer, the EVA = Rs 2 corer (Rs 40 corer – Rs 38 corer). With a positive EVA, the investment would add value and increase the wealth of the owners and should be accepted. The computation of the after – tax operating profits attributable to the investment under consideration as Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

Page 42


A STUDY ON ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED of HINDALCO INDUSTRIES LTD well as the cost of funds used to finance it would, however, involve numerous accounting and financial issues. The merits of EVA are: (a) its relative simplicity and (b) its strong link with the wealth maximization of the owners. It prima facie exhibits a strong link to share prices, that is, positive EVA is associated with increase in price of shares and vice versa. However, EVA is, in effect, a repackaged and well – marketed application of the NPV technique of investment decision. But EVA is certainly a useful tool for operationalising the owners’ value maximization goal, particularly with respect to the investment decision.

OBJECtIvES Of tHE StUDY: I as a researcher kept the following main objectives for the purpose of present study, they are as follows  To study and examine the present situation and nature of Economic Value Added.  To analyze the EVA with the help of the financial ratios and identify the strength and weakness of the organization.  To study the sources and uses of the Economic Value Added.

MEtHODOLOGY USED: To fulfill the set of objectives regarding study of Economic Value Added, the researcher collected mainly secondary data, primary data and information was also collected to a substantiate the findings derived from the secondary data.  PRIMARY DATA: Primary data is collected during the course of training through observations and discussions with departmental heads, assistants and officers.

A STUDY ON ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED of HINDALCO INDUSTRIES LTD  SECONDARY DATA: Secondary data is collected from published annual reports and prospects of the company. The process of data collection is further supplemented by an extensive library conducted in the library of I.M.E.R.

LIMItAtIONS Of tHE StUDY:  The most important limitation of the study is that the study solely depends on the published data and documents such as balance sheet and income statement  It was difficult to obtain confidential data from the concerned department with a view point of secrecy that the company would like to observe.

vALUE BASED MANAGEMENt: Companies today, more than ever before, are subject to an increasingly higher

degree

of

This

phenomenon is not restricted to the developed markets alone but is spreading rapidly across various developing markets as well. Increased shareholders awareness has resulted in the host of share holder- friendly activities across the world – from transparent rating of fund manager performance in the US, to shareholder association in Australia, to a change in discloser norms in India. Driven by external pressure, companies are busy re-designing their system and processes in order to ensure that managers think and act in terms of shareholders value creation. Instituting value based management in an organization is a powerful means of achieving the desired alignment between management goals and shareholders objectives. Value based management is a sophisticated and insightful way of managing company and business performance to create maximum value for shareholders. It employs a number of evaluative tools that help managers make successful business decisions. These tools measure the performance of the business, estimate and explain changes in stock market performance, and evaluate the likely impact of business plans on shareholder value.

the

management’s objective in terms of shareholder value creation. By this, the organization takes care of the principal- agent problem. Having linked the management’s objective to shareholder value organization needs to define a suitable framework of value based management that captures all the important drivers of value creation, which is consistent across the organization, and provides the right incentives to managers. The value based measurement framework needs to disintegrate into operational levers so that managers can understand how their decisions impact value creation. This will result in improved decision making, both at strategic as well as the operational level. Mainly Value based management tackles the following issues:  Aligns key management processes  Provides a framework for measuring value creation  Transforms decision-making The expected outcomes of a value based management implementation are shown below:  Use of value measure as a tool for improving business performance:  Business managers have common language, which they can use to increase the performance of their business.  Raises the consciousness about the use of capital and focuses managers to increase asset productivity.

WHAt IS EvA®? Economic value added (EVA) is a performance measure developed by Stern Stewart & Co that attempts to measure the true economic profit produced by a company. It is frequently also referred to as "economic profit", and provides a measurement of a company's economic success (or failure) over a period of time. Such a metric is useful for investors who wish to determine how well a company has produced value for its investors, and it can be compared against the company's peers for a quick analysis of how well the company is operating in its industry. Simply, EVA is a measure of profit less the cost of all capital employed. It is the one measure that properly accounts for all the complex trade-offs, often between the income statement and balance sheet, involved in creating value. EVA is also the spread between a company’s return on and cost of capital, multiplied by the invested capital: EVA = (Rate of Return - Cost of Capital) x Capital Under EVA, each business is effectively charged by investors for the use of capital through a “line of credit” that bears interest at a rate equal to the cost

of

capital.

Therefore,

shareholder

accountability

is

effectively

decentralized into the operating units. EVA simultaneously focuses on both the profit and loss statement and the balance sheet, can be tailored to remedy accounting anomalies that fail to reflect economic value. Finally, EVA sets a required rate of return – the cost of capital – as a hurdle rate below which performance is unacceptable. Therefore, a perhaps more meaningful way for operating managers to think of EVA comes from multiplying through by capital:

Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com

Page 50


A STUDY ON ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED of HINDALCO INDUSTRIES LTD EVA = Operating Profit – A Capital Charge Where, Capital Charge = Cost of Capital x Capital To summarize, EVA is the only operating measure to account for the many income statement balance sheet trade-offs involved in creating value because of it’s simultaneously focuses on both profit and capital. Under EVA, every business unit is, in effect, explicitly charged for the use of capital through a “line of credit” that bears interest at a rate equal to your cost of capital. This effectively decentralizes shareholder value accountability well into your operations. EVA also sets the expected return, the cost of capital, as a hurdle rate below which performance is unacceptable. This clearly identifies the benchmark to create shareholder value.

statements from an accounting framework into an economic framework. Although the recommended adjustments vary from industry to industry and even company to company, the overall goal of the EVA measure remains the same—to better capture the economic performance of the measured unit. Adjustments are selected on after weighing factors such as behavioral impact, materiality and complexity. Common adjustments include the capitalization of research and development, operating leases, and unusual items such as restructuring charges. MANAGEMENT (M2): The management phase of the implementation brings EVA into action to drive better decision-making throughout the organization. Included in this component are the review of key projects and the development of spreadsheet- based decision tools to help improve the analysis of business issues, consistency of decision-making, documentation, and approval processes throughout the corporation. MOTIVATION (M3): A key component of any EVA implementation is the creation of incentives that link directly to the creation of shareholder value. By creating an incentive plan based on EVA, managers are rewarded only if they create shareholder

MINDSET (M4): In order to transition employees into a mindset of value creation, a significant effort is made on training and communications. Training of key staff on EVA concepts and corporate finance topics creates a foundation for better understanding. The continued communication of the EVA philosophy and its successful application then builds on this foundation and maintains the momentum of these ideas.

CALCULAtING EvA: Economic profit can be calculated by taking a company's net after-tax operating profit and subtracting from it the product of the company's invested capital multiplied by its percentage cost of capital. There are four steps in the calculation of EVA: 1. Calculate Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) 2. Calculate Total Invested Capital (TC) 3. Determine a Cost of Capital (WACC) 4. Calculate EVA = NOPAT – WACC% * (TC)

In the above approach to estimating NOPAT, the calculation begins with net operating profit before taxes. This is nothing but earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) figure on a company’s income statement. To this amount, several EVA-based accounting adjustments are made to move toward a better representation of the firm’s pretax cash operating profit. CASh OPERATING TAXES: Taxes on pretax cash operating profit - as opposed to reported income taxes - must be subtracted from pretax cash operating profit to arrive at NOPAT.

 As cost of debt increases EVA decreases, if the cost of debt increases there will be increase in WACC as a result EVA comes down.  Cost of debt in the year 2003 - 04 was 4.49% and for the 2004 - 05 it was 2.91% as a result EVA increased consequently for the year 2003 – 04 to 2004 – 05.  As cost of equity increases EVA decreases because cost of capital is a specific cost of WACC.  WACC is inversely related to EVA, if WACC increases then EVA decreases and if WACC decreases then EVA increases.

A STUDY ON ECONOMIC VALUE ADDED of HINDALCO INDUSTRIES LTD  WACC should be kept at minimum to obtain more EVA as WACC is inversely related to EVA, if WACC increases then EVA decreases and if WACC decreases then EVA increases.  Although cost of capital is decreased over the years, it is not reduced substantially. Therefore, rigorous actions should be taken to curb the cost of capital.
