STL poised to grow; using momentum in the digital networks

==> picture [267 x 407] intentionally omitted <==

  • Network creators accelerated the pace of investments ,

accepting and implementing new technologies such as 5G, FTTH and O-RAN. These implementations have resulted in OFC demand soaring across the world.

  • STL used this momentum as a springboard to enhance its capabilities and won marquee deals across the globe

by enhancing its addressable market, advancing the product portfolio, elevating customer engagement, welcoming new talent and delivering despite the pandemic.

  • .

  • STL has three validated growth levers

First, to grow OFC volume and the Optical interconnect business.

Second, to take System Integration business to global markets along with scaling it in India. Third, to build a strong Access Solutions business, based on disruptive open-source products.

  • We expect the growth momentum to continue in FY22 ,

while continue to invest in R&D and capabilities, generating RoCE in excess of 20%, while moving towards our target debt/equity.

Notes:
7. Loss from discontinued operations pertains to Maharashtra Transmission Communication Infrastructure Limited, a subsidiary of the
Company. Management had filed a fresh application with Department of Telecommunication for transfer of the entity after its earlier
application had been rejected. The Department of Telecommunication has currently closed the application citing lack of clarity with respect
to certain aspects in the application. Management is working towards resolving the concerns and is committed to the sale of MTCIL post
resolving the concerns and obtaining requisite regulatory approvals.
4. Management has made an assessment of the impact of COVID 19 in preparation for these financial statements. Management has
considered all relevant external and internal factors in the measurement of assets and liabilities including recoverability of carrying values
of its assets, its liquidity position and ability to repay debts. No adjustment to key estimates and judgements that impact the financial
statements have been identified. Since telecom networks have been identified as an essential service, the Group is operating at its normal
operating capacity at all locations. However, the impact assessment of COVID19 will be a continuing process given the uncertainties
associated with its nature and duration and no significant impact is envisaged on the operations.
Further due to the ongoing lockdown restrictions, independent confirmations of balances of 5 bank accounts having a cumulative book
balance of Rs. 0.07 crores and balance with LIC of Rs. 5.08 crores with respect to the Company's funded Gratuity plan assets could not be
obtained as at March 31, 2021 from the respective parties. Management has prepared the financials based on the latest available
statements available with Management, which fairly represent the respective balances. For balance with LIC, the statement available is for
balance as at December 31, 2020 and for the 5 bank balances, the statements are for balances as at March 31, 2021. The Auditors have
relied on these statements and performed alternative testing procedures as considered appropriate.
Goodwill (excess of purchase consideration over the aggregate book value of the net assets acquired) is being amortised over a period of
five years, as per the Scheme. Ind-AS does not allow amortisation of goodwill, which amounted to Rs. Nil and Rs. 14.65 crores for the
quarter and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Goodwill has been fully amortised as at the end of the quarter ended September 30,
2020. Consequently, the auditors have included an emphasis of matter paragraph in regards to this matter in their report.
1.The above results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 29, 2021 have
approved the above results.
2.The above statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Ind-AS)
prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other recognised accounting practices and policies to the extent applicable.
3. The Company has only one operating segment which is Connectivity and Network Solutions (earlier known as "Telecom Products and
Solutions"). Accordingly, separate segment information is not required to be disclosed.
6. During the year 2015-16, the Company had acquired 100% of the paid up equity share capital of Elitecore Technologies Private Limited
('ETPL'), a global telecom software product company. ETPL has been merged with the Company with the appointed date of September 29,
2015 under a scheme of amalgamation approved by Hon'ble Bombay High Court and Gujarat High Court (the "Scheme").
5. During the previous year ended March 31, 2020, the Company made an application under Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution)
Scheme, 2019 (SVLDRS), for settlement of the disputed excise matter of Rs. 188 crores demanded by CESTAT in 2005-06 which the
Company was contesting at Honourable Supreme Court, and also some other litigations under Central Excise Act, 1944 and Chapter V of
Finance Act, 1994 which were pending as of June 30, 2019. Based on the provisions of SVLDRS, Management determined and paid duty
in respect of all matters offered for settlement under the scheme and accordingly recognised expense of Rs. 50.71 crores in the previous
year which has been disclosed as exceptional item in the Statement of profit and loss.
8. Formulae for computation of ratios are based on standalone financial results and balance sheet which are as follows:
Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before interest and tax/ (interest expense + principal term loan repayment)
Interest Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before Interest and Tax /Interest Expense
For Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Interest Service Coverage Ratio computation:
- Earnings before interest and tax includes Profit Before Tax after exceptional item + Interest expense
- Interest expenses include finance costs as per standalone Ind AS financial statements
For paid up debt capital and debt equity ratio computation:
- Debt includes long-term borrowings + short term borrowings + current maturities of long-term borrowings.
- Equity includes equity share capital and other equity as per standalone Ind AS financial statements

Notes:
7. Loss from discontinued operations pertains to Maharashtra Transmission Communication Infrastructure Limited, a subsidiary of the
Company. Management had filed a fresh application with Department of Telecommunication for transfer of the entity after its earlier
application had been rejected. The Department of Telecommunication has currently closed the application citing lack of clarity with respect
to certain aspects in the application. Management is working towards resolving the concerns and is committed to the sale of MTCIL post
resolving the concerns and obtaining requisite regulatory approvals.
4. Management has made an assessment of the impact of COVID 19 in preparation for these financial statements. Management has
considered all relevant external and internal factors in the measurement of assets and liabilities including recoverability of carrying values
of its assets, its liquidity position and ability to repay debts. No adjustment to key estimates and judgements that impact the financial
statements have been identified. Since telecom networks have been identified as an essential service, the Group is operating at its normal
operating capacity at all locations. However, the impact assessment of COVID19 will be a continuing process given the uncertainties
associated with its nature and duration and no significant impact is envisaged on the operations.
Further due to the ongoing lockdown restrictions, independent confirmations of balances of 5 bank accounts having a cumulative book
balance of Rs. 0.07 crores and balance with LIC of Rs. 5.08 crores with respect to the Company's funded Gratuity plan assets could not be
obtained as at March 31, 2021 from the respective parties. Management has prepared the financials based on the latest available
statements available with Management, which fairly represent the respective balances. For balance with LIC, the statement available is for
balance as at December 31, 2020 and for the 5 bank balances, the statements are for balances as at March 31, 2021. The Auditors have
relied on these statements and performed alternative testing procedures as considered appropriate.
Goodwill (excess of purchase consideration over the aggregate book value of the net assets acquired) is being amortised over a period of
five years, as per the Scheme. Ind-AS does not allow amortisation of goodwill, which amounted to Rs. Nil and Rs. 14.65 crores for the
quarter and year ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Goodwill has been fully amortised as at the end of the quarter ended September 30,
2020. Consequently, the auditors have included an emphasis of matter paragraph in regards to this matter in their report.
1.The above results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 29, 2021 have
approved the above results.
2.The above statement has been prepared in accordance with the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 (Ind-AS)
prescribed under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 and other recognised accounting practices and policies to the extent applicable.
3. The Company has only one operating segment which is Connectivity and Network Solutions (earlier known as "Telecom Products and
Solutions"). Accordingly, separate segment information is not required to be disclosed.
6. During the year 2015-16, the Company had acquired 100% of the paid up equity share capital of Elitecore Technologies Private Limited
('ETPL'), a global telecom software product company. ETPL has been merged with the Company with the appointed date of September 29,
2015 under a scheme of amalgamation approved by Hon'ble Bombay High Court and Gujarat High Court (the "Scheme").
5. During the previous year ended March 31, 2020, the Company made an application under Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution)
Scheme, 2019 (SVLDRS), for settlement of the disputed excise matter of Rs. 188 crores demanded by CESTAT in 2005-06 which the
Company was contesting at Honourable Supreme Court, and also some other litigations under Central Excise Act, 1944 and Chapter V of
Finance Act, 1994 which were pending as of June 30, 2019. Based on the provisions of SVLDRS, Management determined and paid duty
in respect of all matters offered for settlement under the scheme and accordingly recognised expense of Rs. 50.71 crores in the previous
year which has been disclosed as exceptional item in the Statement of profit and loss.
8. Formulae for computation of ratios are based on standalone financial results and balance sheet which are as follows:
Debt Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before interest and tax/ (interest expense + principal term loan repayment)
Interest Service Coverage Ratio = Earnings before Interest and Tax /Interest Expense
For Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Interest Service Coverage Ratio computation:
- Earnings before interest and tax includes Profit Before Tax after exceptional item + Interest expense
- Interest expenses include finance costs as per standalone Ind AS financial statements
For paid up debt capital and debt equity ratio computation:
- Debt includes long-term borrowings + short term borrowings + current maturities of long-term borrowings.
- Equity includes equity share capital and other equity as per standalone Ind AS financial statements
9. Credit rating for the existing Non- Convertible Redeemable Debentures (NCD) is ICRA AA Stable and CRISIL AA Stable. Credit rating for
the outstanding commercial papers ICRA A1+ and CRISIL A1+.
10. The Company has maintained minimum required assets cover ratio of 1.1 times as per debenture issue terms of non convertible
debenture carrying interest @ 8.70% p.a. and non covertible debentures carrying interest @ 7.30% p.a. and assets cover ratio of 1.25
times of non covertible debentures carrying interest @ 8.25% which signifies adequate security. Debentures are secured by way of first pari
passu charge on entire movable fixed assets (both present and future) and mortgage of certain immovable fixed assets of the Company.

  1. During the current year, Management has aligned the reporting period of Metallurgica Bresciana S.p.A. ("MB Italy") with the reporting period of the parent entity and therefore the consolidated results for the year ended March 31, 2021 include the results of MB Italy for the period from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021. Due to the reporting period alignment, the revenue and profit after tax is higher by Rs. 138.75 Crs and Rs. 9.68 Crs respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2021. Therefore numbers for the current year are not comparable to the previous year disclosed to that extent. 14. On March 24, 2020, the Board of Directors had approved the buyback of Equity Shares for a total amount not exceeding Rs. 145 Crores, being 9.95% and 9.32% of the aggregate of the total paid-up equity capital and free reserves (including securities premium) of the Company based on the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements, respectively, of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2019. The Company has closed the buy back on August 27, 2020. The Company has bought back 88,67,000 shares for Rs. 99.78 crores (excluding taxes). 15. The Indian Parliament has approved the Code on Social Security, 2020 which would impact the contributions by the Company towards Provident Fund and Gratuity. The draft rules for the Code on Social Security, 2020 have been released by the Ministry of Labour and Employment on November 13, 2020. The Company and its Indian subsidiaries are in the process of assessing the additional impact on Provident Fund contributions and on Gratuity liability contributions and will complete their evaluation and give appropriate impact in the financial statements in the period in which the rules are notified become effective. 16. The Group, through its subsidiary Sterlite Optical Interconnect S.p.A. has acquired 100% of the shares of Optotec S.p.A. (Optotec) including its wholly owned subsidiary, Optotec International S.A for a purchase consideration of EUR 29.9 million as per share purchase agreement dated November 02, 2020 as amended on January 8, 2021.

The purchase price has been allocated to assets and liabilities on a provisional basis as per Ind AS 103 – Business Combinations resulting in provisional goodwill of EUR 18.8 million pending completion of purchase price allocation. Due to acquisition the numbers of the current period are not comparable to the previous periods disclosed. 17. Other Income in the Standalone Financial Results includes Profit on sale of land and building of Rs. 19.53 crores by Sterlite Technologies Limited (Parent entity) to its wholly owned subsidiary Sterlite Tech Cables Solutions Limited. Being a transaction within the group, the same has been eliminated for the purpose of consolidated financial results. 18.

Basis for Opinion

  1. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act and other applicable authoritative pronouncements issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the ‘Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group, its associates and jointly controlled entity in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 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 Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and other auditor in terms of their reports referred to in “Other Matter” paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

  1. We draw your attention to Note 6 to Statement which describes that the Group had recognised Goodwill on amalgamation during the financial year ended March 31, 2016, which has been amortised over a period of five years from the appointed date of September 29 2015, in accordance with the accounting treatment prescribed under the Scheme of amalgamation approved by the Gujarat High Court.

The

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of Sterlite Technologies Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 3 of 5

  • respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entity are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity 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 accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial results by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

  • In preparing the consolidated financial results, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group, and of its associates and jointly controlled entity, are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

  • The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entity are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associates and jointly controlled entity.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial results as a whole are 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 these consolidated financial results.

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

  3. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.

  4. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. (Refer paragraph 16 below)

  5. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Board of Directors of Sterlite Technologies Limited Report on the Consolidated Financial Results Page 4 of 5

  • 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 Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial results of the entities within the Group and its associates and jointly controlled entity to express an opinion on the consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial results of which we are the independent auditors’. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial results, which have been audited by other auditor, such other auditor remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  • We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities 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.

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

Other Matters

  1. We did not audit the financial statements of one subsidiary included in the consolidated financial results, whose financial statements reflect total assets of Rs. 518.58 crores and net assets of Rs. 326.80 crores as at March 31, 2021, total revenues of Rs. 221.69 crores and Rs. 20.18 crores, total net (loss) after tax of Rs.

Board of Director’s Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results

  1. These Standalone financial results have been prepared on the basis of the standalone annual financial statements. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these standalone financial results that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company and the standalone Balance Sheet and the standalone statement of cash flows 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 and Regulation 52 of the Listing Regulations. The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of 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 accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the standalone financial results by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.

  2. In preparing the standalone financial results, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company 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.

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

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results

  1. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial results as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 these standalone financial results.

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

  3. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.

  4. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3) (i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls. (Refer paragraph 12 below)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Board of Directors of Sterlite Technologies Limited Report on the Standalone Financial Results Page 3 of 3

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

  • 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the standalone 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 auditors’ 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 standalone financial results, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company 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.

Other Matters

  1. The standalone financial results include the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 being the balancing figures between the audited figures in respect of the full financial year and the published unaudited year to date figures up to the third quarter of the current financial year, which are neither subject to limited review nor audited by us.
