Report on Review of Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

To the Board of Directors of Polycab India Limited

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Polycab India Limited ("the Parent"), its subsidiaries as listed in paragraph below (the Parent and its subsidiaries together referred to as 'the Group') and its joint venture, which comprise the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2021, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income) for the quarter then ended, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended and a summary of the significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory information (herein after referred to as "the Statement"). The Parent's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Statement in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting as specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with relevant rules issued thereunder. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

Report on Review of Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons 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 Standards on Auditing 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review conducted as above and based on the consideration of reports of the other auditors and based on the audited interim financial information of subsidiaries and joint venture, referred to below in the Other Matters paragraph, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement are not prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with Ind AS 34, Interim Financial Reporting prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with relevant rules issued thereunder.

Other Matters

We did not review the interim financial statements of nine subsidiary Companies included in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, whose interim financial statements reflect the Group's share of total assets (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs 5,190.56 million as at 30 June 2021 and total revenues (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs 1,029.40 million, total net profit after tax (net) (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs 30.23 million and total comprehensive income (net) (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs 29.78 million, for the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021, respectively, and cash outflow (net) (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs 163.10 million for the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021, as considered in the consolidated unaudited financial statements. The consolidated unaudited financial statements also include the Group's share of net (loss) after tax (net) of Rs 21.57 million and total comprehensive loss (net) of Rs 21.40 million for the quarter ended 30 June 2021, respectively, as considered in the Statement, in respect of one joint venture, whose interim financial statements have not been reviewed by us. These interim financial statements have been audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us by the management and our report on the Statement, in so far as it relates to the amounts and disclosures included in respect of these subsidiaries and joint venture, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors and the procedures performed by us as stated in Scope of Review above.

Our opinion on the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements 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.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

A) Basis of preparation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended 30 June 2021 ('interim financial statements') have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting as specified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with relevant rules issued thereunder. Accordingly, the said interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of annual Ind AS financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's latest annual financial statements and related notes included in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2021. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant for the understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the latest annual financial statements.

All the amounts included in condensed financial statements are reported in ₹ in million, except per share data and unless stated otherwise.

The Board of Directors approved the Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended 30 June 2021 and authorised for issue on 21 July 2021.

B) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the condensed financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the Management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas where estimates are significant to the condensed financial statements, or areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, are the same as those disclosed in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

C) Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's latest annual financial statements and related notes included in the Group's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2021.

D) Estimation of uncertainties relating to global health pandemic from COVID-19

During the quarter ended 30 June 2021, India experienced a second wave of COVID-19 resulting into subdued economic activities. However, Business operations of the Group in the current period have improved in comparison to the last year. While there is no material impact on the carrying amounts of current assets of the Group, considering the uncertainties associated with COVID-19, the Group will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

E) Recent pronouncement

The amendments to Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013 are applicable from 01 April 2021. The Group has given effect of amendment by inclusion of the relevant disclosures under explanatory notes or by way of additional notes, wherever significant in nature

On 18 June 2021, MCA through a notification has notified Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2021. The notification has made amendments to various Ind AS. The Group does not expect the amendments to have any significant impact in its financial statements.

(a) Interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and embedded commodity derivative are valued using valuation techniques, which employ the use of market observable inputs( closing rates of foreign currency and commodities).

  • (b) Embedded foreign currency and commodity derivatives are measured similarly to the foreign currency forward contracts and commodity derivatives. The embedded derivatives are commodity and foreign currency forward contracts which are separated from purchase contracts.
  • (c) The management assessed that cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term borrowings, loans to related party, loans to employees, short term security deposit and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
  • (d) The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
  • (e) The fair values of the mutual funds are based on NAV at the reporting date.
  • (f) The fair value of interest rate swaps are based on MTM bank rates as on reporting date.
  • (g) The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies, currency basis spreads between the respective currencies, interest rate curves. The changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognised at fair value.
  • (h) Fixed deposit of ₹ 500 million (31 Mar 2021: ₹ 500 million) is restricted for withdrawal, considering it is lien against project specific advance.

Fair value hierarchy

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, to provide an indication about the reliability of inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial statements into three levels prescribed under the Ind AS as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable
  • Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group's assets and liabilities.

The Board of Directors of the Group has formed a Risk Management Committee to periodically review the risk management policy of the Group so that the management manages the risk through properly defined mechanism. The Risk Management Committee's focus is to foresee the unpredictability and minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group's overall risk management procedures to minimise the potential adverse effects of financial market on the Group's performance are as follows:

(A) Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans and borrowings, deposits, FVTPL investments and derivative financial instruments.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Group is also exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates due to its investments in mutual fund units in overnight funds.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. The Group enters into interest rate swaps for long term foreign currency borrowings, in which it agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. At 30 June 2021, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps, approximately 54% of the Group's borrowings are at a fixed rate of interest (31 March 2021: 64%). Total borrowing as on 30 June 2021 is ₹ 3,168.08 million (31 March 2021 ₹ 2,486.85 million).

Interest rate sensitivity

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected, after the impact of hedge accounting. With all other variables held constant, the Group's profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows: (₹ million)

Decrease -100 14.43
31 Mar 2021 883.56
Increase +100 (8.84)
Decrease -100 8.84

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Group's borrowings in foreign currency.

Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into derivative contracts with an intention to hedge its foreign exchange price risk and interest risk. Derivative contracts which are linked to the underlying transactions are recognised in accordance with the contract terms. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are taken directly to Statement of Profit & Loss. To some extent the Group manages its foreign currency risk by hedging transactions.

20. Financial Risk Management Objectives And Policies

(iii) Commodity price risk

The Group's exposure to price risk of copper and aluminium arises from :

  • Trade payables of the Group where the prices are linked to LME prices. Payment is therefore sensitive to changes in copper and aluminium prices quoted on LME. The provisional pricing feature (Embedded Derivatives) are classified in the balance sheet as fair value through profit or loss. The option to fix prices at future LME prices works as a natural hedge against the movement in value of inventory of copper and aluminium held by the Group. The Group also takes sell LME positions to hedge the price risk on inventory due to ongoing movement in rates quoted on LME. The Group applies fair value hedge to protect its copper and aluminium Inventory from the ongoing movement in rates.
  • Purchases of copper and aluminium results in exposure to price risk due to ongoing movement in rates quoted on LME affecting the profitability and financial position of the Group. The risk management strategy is to use the buy future contracts linked to LME to hedge the variation in cash flows of highly probable future purchases. There are no outstanding buy future contracts link to LME as of 30 June 2021 and 31 March 2021.

Sensitivity analysis for unhedged exposure for the period ended 30 June 2021 are as follows:

Aluminium Embedded derivative 1,490 305.34 (6.11) 6.11 3,293 588.35 (11.77) 11.77

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables and contract assets

The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with counterparties that have sufficient credit rating. The Group's exposure and credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is reasonably spread amongst the counterparties. Credit risk has always been managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. On account of adoption of Ind AS 109, the Group uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss or gain. The Group has applied Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment losses on trade receivables. ECL has been computed as a percentage of revenue on the basis of Group's historical data of delay in collection of amounts due from customers and default by the customers along with management's estimates.

The Group has sold without recourse trade receivable under channel finance arrangement for providing credit to its dealers. Evaluation is made as per the terms of the contract i.e. if the Group does not retain any risk and rewards or control over the financial assets, then the entity derecognises such assets upon transfer of financial assets under such arrangement with the banks. Derecognition does not result in significant gain / loss to the Group in the Statement of profit and loss.

In certain cases, the Group has sold with recourse trade receivables to a bank for cash proceeds. These trade receivables have not been derecognised from the statement of financial position, because the Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards – primarily credit risk. The amount received on transfer has been recognised as a financial liability (Refer note 9(B)). The arrangement with the bank is such that the customers remit cash directly to the bank and the bank releases the limit of facility used by the Group. The receivables are considered to be held within a held-to-collect business model consistent with the Group's continuing recognition of the receivables.

The carrying amount of trade receivables at the reporting date that have been transferred but have not been derecognised and the associated liabilities is amounting to ₹ 637.92 million (31 Mar 2021: ₹ 883.56 million).

Credit risk arising from investment in mutual funds, derivative financial instruments and other balances with banks is limited and there is no collateral held against these because the counterparties are banks and recognised financial institutions with high credit ratings assigned by the international credit rating agencies.

(C) Liquidity risk

The Group's principle sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and the cash flow that is generated from operations. The Group believes that the working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements.

Further, the Group manages its liquidity risk in a manner so as to meet its normal financial obligations without any significant delay or stress. Such risk is managed through ensuring operational cash flow while at the same time maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents position. The management has arranged for diversified funding sources and adopted a policy of managing assets with liquidity in mind and monitoring future cash flows and liquidity on a regular basis. Surplus funds not immediately required are invested in certain financial assets (including mutual funds) which provide flexibility to liquidate at short notice and are included in current investments and cash equivalents. Besides, it generally has certain undrawn credit facilities which can be accessed as and when required, which are reviewed periodically.

The Group has developed appropriate internal control systems and contingency plans for managing liquidity risk. This incorporates an assessment of expected cash flows and availability of alternative sources for additional funding, if required.

Corporate guarantees given on behalf of Group Companies might affect the Liquidity of the Group if they are payable. However, the Group has adequate liquidity to cover the risk. (Refer note 16(A))

21. Hedging activity and derivatives

(A) Fair value hedge of copper and aluminium price risk in inventory

  • (i) The Group enters into contracts to purchase copper and aluminium wherein the Group has the option to fix the purchase price based on LME price of copper and aluminium during a stipulated time period. Accordingly, these contracts are considered to have an embedded derivative that is required to be separated. Such feature is kept to hedge against exposure in the value of inventory of copper and aluminium due to volatility in copper and aluminium prices. The Group designates the embedded derivative in the payable for such purchases as the hedging instrument in fair value hedging of inventory. The Group designates only the spot-to-spot movement of the copper and aluminium inventory as the hedged risk. The carrying value of inventory is accordingly adjusted for the effective portion of change in fair value of hedging instrument. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument is settled, or when it is no longer qualifies for hedge accounting or when the hedged item is sold.
  • (ii) To use the Sell future contracts linked with LME to hedge the fair value risk associated with inventory of copper and aluminium. Once the purchases are concluded and its final price is determined, the Group starts getting exposed to price risk of these inventory till the time it is not been sold. The Group's policy is to designate the copper and aluminium inventory which are already priced and which is not been sold at that point in time in a hedging relationship against Sell LME future positions based on the risk management strategy of the Group. The hedged risk is movement in spot rates.

To test the hedge effectiveness between embedded derivatives/derivatives and LME prices of copper and aluminium, the Group uses the said prices during a stipulated time period and compares the fair value of embedded derivatives/derivatives against the changes in fair value of LME price of copper and aluminium attributable to the hedged risk.

The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying embedded derivative/derivative is identical to the LME price of Copper and Aluminium.

Disclosure of effects of fair value hedge accounting on financial position:

Hedged item:

Changes in fair value of inventory attributable to change in copper and aluminium prices.

Hedging instrument:

Changes in fair value of the embedded derivative of copper and aluminium trade payables and Sell future contracts, as described above.

(B) Cash flow hedge associated with highly probable forecasted purchases of copper and aluminium:

The Group has purchases of copper and aluminium which results in exposure to price risk due to ongoing movement in rates quoted on LME which affects the profitability and financial position of the Group. The risk management strategy is to use the Buy future contracts linked to LME to hedge the variation in cash flows of highly probable future purchases. The Group designate the monthly copper and aluminium purchases as a highly probable forecasted transaction in a hedging relationship based on the risk management strategy of the Group.
