STEEL: CURRENT AND FUTURE CONTEXT<br />

As China <strong>and</strong> India industrialise the current <strong>and</strong> forecast requirement for steel<br />

is growing <strong>and</strong> likely to continue to grow at a faster rate than before<br />

CONSOLIDATION: QUESTIONS FOR INDIA<br />

Actual Forecast<br />

• Will an Indian steel company<br />

be one of the top five? [it<br />

already is]<br />

• Which companies will be in<br />

the top five?<br />

• Which Indian companies will<br />

become part of a top five<br />

company?<br />

Strong companies will attract<br />

capital to become stronger;<br />

weaker companies will be<br />

acquired<br />

NEW CHALLENGES BRING NEW DANGERS<br />

Solving new challenges with old ideas <strong>and</strong> attitudes brings bad results<br />

• Crimean War<br />

• Maginot Line<br />

• <strong>The</strong> danger of managerial obsolescence : the 15 year rule!<br />

Todays dangers for the steel industry:<br />

• Permanently high prices ….. Will lead to material substitution<br />

• Price volatility ….. Price risk hedging mechanisms are needed<br />

• Continuing obsession with overcapacity ….. We need well managed equilibrium capacity<br />

Long run returns will be driven - by competition – to an equilibrium position<br />

12 – 15% ROA?<br />

DEVELOPMENT BRINGS NEW HOPE<br />

• An industry no longer dominated by NA, EU <strong>and</strong> Japanese<br />

• Look at the composition of the IISI Exec Committee<br />

• Look at the emerging world players, Posco, Gerdau, Tisco, Techint, Boasteel, Severstal …..<br />

etc.<br />

• And the world’s largest steel company (in prospect) ….. Mittal <strong>Steel</strong><br />

WHAT DOES INDIA BRING TO THE INDUSTRY?<br />

Strengths<br />

• Costs<br />

• Raw Materials<br />

• Technical Depth<br />
