With theproposed final diidend, the total diidend for the financial year 200<strong>08</strong> will be Rs. 4/ per equity share. Thediidend for financial year 20060 was Rs. 2/ per share.4. BUSINESS OUTLOOKDuring the year 200<strong>08</strong>, your Company addressed seeral challenges and opportunities:a) Challenges faced in the yeari) Well capitalized competition: The number of entrants in the Engineering Seices Outsourcing(ESO) sector has increased primarily from the large established IT companies who are putting morefocus on establishing an ESO capability. Further, the number of captie Engineering Centers hasgrown substantially.ii)iii)Challenges at the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 suppliers: The rise inthe input cost of manufacturing and demand imbalance has put enormous pressure on OEMs andtie suppliers for cost reduction.Completion of operational integration of <strong>Tata</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> and INCAT: 200<strong>08</strong> was the first fullyear of INCAT operations under the leadership of Mr. Warren Harris, CEO, INCAT Systems Inc. Duringthe year, Mr. Harris built an integrated team dedicated to attracting and executing large offshoringdeals, leeraging our global engagement model and improing the support processes.b) Opportunities taken in the yearThe Company was able to improe EBITDA margins by:i) Securing a number of large transformational deals with greater offshore penetration and increasedproject duration.ii)Improing operational efficiency through streamlining sales and marketing operations, harmonizingIT systems and improing utilization.c) Macro economic and industry-specific challengesi) US Slowdown: There are increasing indications that the US economy, the world’s largest, may haeentered its most challenging period since 2001. The IT industry is not immune to a slowdown incorporate spending. Such a dynamic is bound to impact the ability of OEMs to launch new ehiclemodels and consume design software.ii)iii)iv)Dollar Depreciation: The depreciating dollar has remained a major deterrent for India basedexporters. The dollar fell by a sizable margin during 200<strong>08</strong> and its long term outlook continues tobe downward.Supply side challenges: The emergence of India as a manufacturing base for global OEMs has createda point of demand for an Engineering Seice Outsourcing labour force that selectiely prefers to goback to the basic manufacturing functions. Furthermore, an increase in demand from capties andmainstream ITES companies has led to a swing of bargaining power in faour of candidates. Underthe circumstances, offshore wage inflation on the back of demand for skilled labor will continue toremain a concern for this industry.Changing deal behaviour: There has been a trend of deal announcements in which a number ofclients hae switched from a total outsourcing model to a blended outsourcing model where theinternal user department (such as Finance, R&D function, etc.) hands out parts of the requirementto multiple endors. We beliee that such selectie outsourcing is the future and holds significantpotential from the perspectie of ESO.


v) Rising oil prices and their impact on the global automotive market: The weakening US dollarand global crude supply concerns are progressiely driing oil prices to a higher leel. A higherprice point for crude oil operates as a double blow by increasing the input cost of manufacturingcomponents besides dissuading buyers of automobiles. The rise in oil prices has caused a shift indemand preferences between cars as consumers seek more fuel efficient, lighter ehicles. Thus, OEMsnow show a renewed emphasis on product deelopment and latest technology adoption.INCAT Services Strategy for 20<strong>08</strong>-09INCAT’s seice strategy is centered on the two themes of ‘reial’ and ‘transformation’. “Reial” inoles the deploymentof the new leadership team and strengthening the goernance process. “Transformation” inoles implementing acommon global ision, reorienting the sales structure and building a world class deliery model.The transformation model inoles a strategic oerhaul of the current business model, moing away from:a) a VAR & staentric model to a seicebased modelb) a territoryentric model to a model that harnesses global presencec) a broad sales focus to a segmented gotomarket approachThe Company is uniquely positioned to make rapid inroads into the Engineering Seices Outsourcing (ESO), ProductLifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise IT businesses whilst striing to become a more profitable, integrated andmore responsie organization.Product Strategy for FY 20<strong>08</strong>-09<strong>Tata</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> iKS Inc. offering:The Company’s major product i get it has reported a 56% growth in subscriptions as of end FY 200<strong>08</strong> oer FY 20060, during the period adding 31,000 new subscribers.
