INDIAN OPERATIONS

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS

The IT procurement landscape in India is changing with digitalization creating new revenue streams and new platforms. Digital disruption is being progressively witnessed in most industries, leading to technological advancement in all sectors.

Computing and printing

Transition to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime adversely affected the retail sector, as many of the retailers were forced to liquidate the pre-GST inventory. Further, post-GST, disruptions in supply-chains led to challenges in re-stocking at partners’ stock levels. Seasonality and online festive sales drove positive consumer spending throughout the year, despite depressed consumer sentiment heralded by low employment opportunities, static income levels and increasing fuel prices. Proactive planning and alignment with E-Commerce companies in Personal Computing space enabled us to capitalize on the accelerated demand fulfillment in the unaddressed market place and keep up the sales momentum.

There was a spurt in demand from MSME and SME segments for single function printers to print documents for GST compliance. Also, Multi-Function Printers gained preference due to reduction of tax rates by the government. During the year under review, there was re-alignment of exclusive territories in HP Printing and Supplies Business and your Company strengthened its foot-print in key strategic areas in HP Printing.

Commercial PC business witnessed stable growth across the year, capitalizing on key opportunities in Government/BFSI and Education sector. Our strategy of focusing on diverse opportunities helped us in growing our business in midmarket and SME segments with smaller ticket opportunities, thereby helping us in mitigating the challenge posed by the postponement of capex plans by large corporate.

Enterprise and Infrastructure

Though FY'18 was marred by challenges in various forms on account of GST implementation, there has been a gradual increase in terms of investment in the IT infrastructure market. Digital India initiative fuelled much needed growth, with investments from both Central and State Governments as also from verticals like BFSI and Telecom. Adoption of outsourced model by enterprises in India lead to increasing investment decisions by the Data Centre Providers. Expansion of both Captive and Outsourced Data Centres boosted the Server market. E-commerce transactions and hybrid IT infrastructure in India fuelled the need for robust Cyber Security solutions. Converged Infrastructure and Software Defined Infrastructure in Data Centres were the new rising demands from CIOs during the year. Your Company's deep engagement with renowned brands enjoyed a healthy share of enterprise Infrastructure business.

MOBILITY

During the year under review, India saw consolidation of the cellular market and aggressive roll out of 4G, thus aiding the demand for both feature phones and smart phones. However, in the case of smart phones, the demand was inclined towards the mid-priced smart phones with higher storage space, better processors and other advanced features, thus impacting the demand of premium smart phones.

For your Company, Mobility segment contributed nearly 20% of the annual India revenues for FY 18, encompassing major vendors such as Apple, Google and Samsung. While the changes in distribution rights of Apple iPhone during the year under review resulted in a decline in the Company's market share, given demand for iPhones in India and plans by Apple for its new product launch, we expect your Company would be in a position to benefit greatly from its association with this iconic brand. Your Company has a strong exclusive partnership with Google for the distribution of its Smartphone brand ‘Pixel’. Given the strength of the brand, Pixel promises to deliver continued and increasing value in the coming years.

EMERGING BUSINESS

During the year under review, your Company completed one full year in the distribution of Solar Equipment and Health & Medical Equipment (HME).

In Solar Equipment segment, your Company focuses on the Solar PV Roof Top space, distributing Solar PV products, its components and raw materials. During the year, industry wide tax issue on account of Anti-Dumping Tariff plagued the business. However, your Company doubled the sales revenue from this vertical in FY' 18. With India’s ambitious target of attaining 100,000 MW of solar capacity by 2022, there are immense growth opportunities in this space.

In HME segment, your Company distributes Mid-size Equipment & Instruments, which forms a large segment of the industry. Since HME is an unorganized sector, your company had initial challenges in establishing structured method of distribution. However, these structural challenges are being gradually overcome by showcasing the relevance and value of a well-organized national distributor which offers the backbone of high quality systems and processes, impeccable financial pedigree and ease of doing business.

Digital Printing industry, being one of the financially unorganized sectors, experienced a double whammy on account of demonetization followed by GST implementation. Despite the challenges, we saw a constant growth in print-page volume and service revenues. Your Company's continued focus on generating demand by conducting various marketing campaigns/initiatives including training programs for new application development and road shows, yielded success in building the customers’ business.

Remington Gulf FZE , a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of RIML, addresses more than 26 markets in Middle East, Turkey and Africa. The year saw many significant developments -geopolitical, economic, taxation et al.

Serious differences between the Arab Quartet (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain & Egypt) and Qatar eventually snowballed into an economic blockade on Qatar. Apart from rising levels of regional uncertainties, this also resulted in a significant reduction in revenue for Redington Gulf from Qatar. The impasse continues and has also brought into question the viability of the 6-member Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Qatar.

The Turkish Lira continued to depreciate against the US Dollar due to a variety of concerns -political, economic situation in the country apart from Turkey’s role in geopolitics. In Kenya, presidential elections were held twice due to poll related violence and other concerns.

A very significant development during year under review was the introduction of Excise duty and VAT in UAE and KSA. Apart from having an adverse effect on inflation in these two countries, muted demand is expected to slow down domestic sales in UAE for 2-3 quarters before picking up again.

Inspite of a changing business and economic landscape Redington Gulf FZE has continued to deliver record growth in revenues and profits while as also retaining its position as the largest technology distributor in the region.

In order to address the growing e-commerce market in Turkey, Redington Gulf set up a subsidiary of Arena to focus on this business segment.

Redington Gulf's subsidiary Linkplus, Turkey continues to grow with addition of key brands to its portfolio.

Computing & Printing

The PC market globally bucked the recent trend and recorded a flat growth and followed a similar trend in META as well.

Redington Gulf continued to demonstrate growth in the total number of PCs shipped and continues to have the highest market share in the region for key PC vendors such as HP, Dell and Lenovo.

Its persistent effort to focus on effective working capital management continued to bear results during this year as well.

Enterprise & Infrastructure

Redington Gulf consolidated its hyper convergence portfolio with addition of Nutanix as well as cybersecurity and emerging security portfolio with Imperva and Palo Alto Cloud Security distribution contracts in the Middle East.
