Notes:

  • 1 The above results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and were thereafter approved by the Board of Directors at their respective meetings held on 29th June, 2021.
  • 2—The Company's operations and financial-results for the quarter and year ended have-b-e-en impacted by the lockdown imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19. The operations gradually resumed in line with the directives of the Government. This was done with requisite precautions ensuring safety of employees. However, despite resumption of operation, there were disruptions due to limited availability of work force, containment zones and curfew restrictions coming up from time to time. The results for the quarter and year ended are therefore not comparable with those for the previous periods. The Company has considered the possible effects that may result from the pandemic relating to COVID-19 on the carrying amounts of its assets. In developing the assumptions relating to the possible future uncertainties in the economic conditions because of this pandemic, the Company, as at the date of approval of these financial results has used internal and external sources of information. The Company has performed sensitivity analysis on the assumptions used and based on current estimates expects to recover the carrying amounts of these assets. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.
  • 3 Figures for the quarters ended 31 March, 2021 and 31 March, 2020 are the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and year to date figures upto the third quarter of the respective financial year.
  • 4 The full format of the Standalone audited financial results and statment of assets and liabilities are available on the company website (http://www.finolex.com) and on the websites of the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (www.nseindia.com) and BSE Limited (www.bseindia.com).
  • 5 The Board of Directors at its meeting held on 29th June, 2021, proposed a dividend of Rs. 5.50 (previous year Rs. 5.50) per equity share.

PRESS RELEASE

FINOLEX CABLES LTD-RESULTS

Pune, June 29, 2021

Finolex Cables Ltd., (FCL) at the meeting of its Board of Directors held today, approved results for the fourth quarter as well as the full year of 2020-21.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 2021 were Rs.921.4 Cr as against Rs.651.4 Cr for the corresponding period in year 2019-20, representing a 41% growth in value terms. In volume terms, Electrical Wires increased by 14%, while Power Cables declined by 18%. Within Communication Cables segment, there is an increase of 8% in volumes during the quarter, with most product lines contributing to the growth except OFC. New products within the FMEG sector all grew by more than 40% each. The PVC Conduit Pipe launch gives us an exciting new opportunity to strengthen the bond with customers - the first two month's sale after launch has been encouraging.

For the full year 2020-21, sales were Rs. 2,768.1 Cr as against Rs. 2,877.3 Cr in the previous year - a decline of 3.80 %, mainly caused by COVID related lockdown in 01. Consequently, volumes for the year are lower than what was achieved in the previous year - Electrical Wires by 10% and all Communication product lines by 1%. Newer product lines (Fans, Switchgear and Water Heaters) have all increased between 24% to 524% in volumes as compared to the previous year. Addition to product range, and expansion of distribution network and continued presence in visual media have all contributed to the better revenues and volumes within these product segments.

Profit for the quarter, before taxes, was Rs.136.4 Cr, as compared to Rs.135.5 Cr in the previous year - a nominal growth of 1%.

For the full year, profit before taxes stood at Rs 392.1 Cr as against Rs 501.3 Cr in the previous year - a decline of 22 %, primarily attributable to negligible revenue (and consequently lower profits) in 01 due to COVID related disruptions, as well lower dividends from investments during the rest of the year.

PAT for Q4 of 2020-21 stood at Rs 96.1 Cr as against Rs 117.8 Cr for the corresponding period of the previous year — a decline of 18%. Previous year's profit included dividend receipts from an associate company, during which period of time dividend receipts were tax free in the hands of the recipient.

For the full year, profit after taxes were Rs 282.9 Cr as against Rs 402.5 Cr in the previous year — included in the profits of the previous year are dividends of Rs. 80 Crore (tax free) received from associate companies.

At its meeting today, the Board has recommended a dividend of 275 % for the year, which means for every share of Rs 2/- the dividend outgo would be Rs 5.50.

For the year ended 31' March 2021, the consolidated results reflect net sales of Rs 2,768.1 Cr as against Rs 2877.3 Cr in the previous year and Profit After Taxes of Rs 461.5 Cr as against Rs 391.0 Cr in the previous year.

Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP

Basis for Opinion on the Audited Standalone Financial Results for the year ended 31 March, 2021

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing ("SAs") specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in paragraph (a) of Auditor's Responsibilities section below. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ("the ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended 31 March, 2021 under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Management's Responsibilities for the Statement

This Statement which includes the Standalone Financial Results is the responsibility of the Company's Board of Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Standalone Financial Results for the year ended 31 March, 2021 has been compiled from the related audited standalone financial statements. This responsibility includes the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and year ended 31 March, 2021 that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Results that give a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Standalone Financial Results, the Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability, to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.

Auditor's Responsibilities

(a) Audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended 31 March, 2021

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended 31 March, 2021 as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Standalone Financial Results.

Deloitte Haskins & Sells LIP

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Annual Standalone Financial Results, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Statement or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Annual Standalone Financial Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Annual Standalone Financial Results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Annual Standalone Financial Results of the Company to express an opinion on the Annual Standalone Financial Results.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Annual Standalone Financial Results that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Annual Standalone Financial Results may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Annual Standalone Financial Results.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

(b) Review of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended 31 March, 2021

We our review of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended 31 March, 2021 in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements ("SRE") 2410 `Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the ICAI. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the Company's personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with SAs specified under section 143(10) of the Act and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Other Matter

The Statement includes the results for the Quarter ended 31 March, 2021 being the balancing figure between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year which were subject to limited review by us.

Our report on the Statement is not modified in respect of this matter.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this Consolidated Financial Results.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Annual Consolidated Financial Results, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company and its associate and joint ventures to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its associate and joint ventures to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Annual Consolidated Financial Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Annual Consolidated Financial Results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Perform procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations to the extent applicable.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Annual Standalone Financial Results/ Financial Information of the its associate and joint ventures to express an opinion on the Annual Consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the Annual Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Annual Consolidated Financial Results, which have been audited by the other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Annual Consolidated Financial Results that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Annual Consolidated Financial Results may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Annual Consolidated Financial Results.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entity included in the Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

(b) Review of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended 31 March, 2021

We conducted our review of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended 31 March, 2021 in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity', issued by the ICAI. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of the Company's personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with SAs specified under section 143(10) of the Act and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

The Statement includes the results of the entities as listed under paragraph (a)(i) of Opinion and Conclusion section above.

We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

Other Matters

  • The Statement includes the results for the Quarter ended 31 March, 2021 being the balancing figure between audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year which were subject to limited review by us. Our report is not modified in respect of this matter.
  • The consolidated financial results also includes the Company's share of profit after tax of Rs. 96.67 crore and Rs. 238.85 crore for the quarter and year ended 31 March, 2021 respectively and total comprehensive income of Rs. 95.87 crore and Rs. 238.92 crore for the quarter and year ended 31 March, 2021 respectively, as considered in the Statement, in respect of 1 associate and 1 joint venture, whose financial statements / financial information have not been audited by us. These financial statements / financial information have been audited, by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the Management and our opinion and conclusion on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these associate and joint venture, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors and the procedures performed by us as stated under Auditor's Responsibilities section above.

Our report on the Statement is not modified in respect of the above matter with respect to our reliance on the work done and the reports of the other auditors.
