Financial risk management42.1 Financial risk factors

The Company's principal financial liabilities, other than derivafives, comprise borrowings, trade and other payables, and financial guarantee contracts. The main purpose of these financial liabilifies is to manage finances for the Company's operafions. The Company has loan, Investment, trade receivables, other receivables, cash and short-term deposits that arise directly from its operafions. The Company also enters into derivative transactions. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:

(i) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market prices comprise three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. 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. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held as at 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2021.

(ii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may not be able to meet its present and future cash and collateral obligations without incurring unacceptable losses.

The Company's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures. The Company does not acquire or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Risk management is carried out by the treasury department under policies approved by the board of directors. The treasury team identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Company's operating units. The board provides principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(i) Market risk

The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying value of post-employment benefit obligations provisions and on the non-flnancial assets and liabilities. The sensitivity of the relevant statement of profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks. The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts depending upon the underlying

contract and risk management strategy to manage its exposures to foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rate.

Foreign exchange risk and sensitivity

An exposure can be defined as a contracted cash flow (trade receivables, trade payables, loans, purchase order placed or sales order received) denominated in a currency other than Indian Rupees. The Company may have foreign currency exposure on account of the following items:

Exposure against working capital -

i) Export trade receivables and export sales orders received;

ii) Imports trade payables and purchase orders raised;

iii) Packing credit in foreign currency (PCFC),

iv) Borrowings against FCNR(B) deposits of the banks;

v) Advances from customers;

vi) Any other kind of foreign currency borrowings as permitted by RBI for financing working capital of the Company.

viii) Exposure against long term financing/relating to projects:

i. Foreign currency borrowings for capital and project expansion;

ii. Payments due against imported capital equipment for projects;

iii. Purchase orders for capital expenditure;

iv. Any kind of foreign currency borrowing used for long term financing requirements of the Company.

The assumed movement in exchange rate sensih'vity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.

The Company transacts business primarily in Indian Rupee, USD, EURO, GBP, JPY CHF and CAD. The Company has obtained foreign currency loans and has foreign currency trade payables and receivables and is therefore, exposed to foreign exchange risk. Certain transach'ons of the Company act as natural hedge as a porh'on of both assets and liabilities are denominated in similar foreign currencies. For the remaining exposure to foreign exchange risk, the Company adapts the policy of selech've hedging based on risk perceph'on of management. Foreign exchange hedging contracts are carried at fair value.

Interest rate risk and sensitivity

The Company will have Interest rate exposure on all interest bearing financial assets and liabilities. These could be broadly categorized as under:

a) Interest bearing trade receivables and trade payables;

b) Working capital borrowings;

c) Long term borrowings.

All interest bearing assets and liabilities need to be captured, first based on the currency denomination e.g., INR, USD & EURO. Further classification needs to be done based on whether these are against floating rate benchmarks or fixed rate

With all other variables held constant, the following table demonstrates the impact of borrowing cost on floating rate portion of borrowings and borrowings on which interest rate swaps are taken.

Price Risk and sensitivity

The Company is exposed to the movement in price of key raw materials in domestic and international markets. The Company has in place policies to manage exposure to fluctuations in the prices of the key raw materials used in operations. The Company enters into contracts for procurement of material, most of the transactions are short term fixed price contract and a few transactions are long term fixed price contracts.

The Company is not facing any exposure to equity price risk as all of its equity investments are within the group and its associates.

ii) Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions and other financial instruments.

Trade receivables

The Company extends credit to customers in normal course of business. The Company considers factors such as credit track record in the market and past dealings for extension of credit to customers. Outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored. The Company evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables as low, as its customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets. The Company has also taken advances and security deposits from its customers, which mitigate the credit risk to an extent.

In determining the allowances for doubtful trade receivables, the Company has used a practical expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account historical credit loss experience and is adjusted for forward looking information. The expected credit loss allowance is based on the ageing of the receivables that are due and rates used in the provision matrix.

Financial instruments and cash deposits

The Company considers factors such as track record, size of the institution, market reputation and service standards to select the banks with which balances and deposits are maintained. The bank balances are maintained with the institutions with which the Company has also availed borrowings. The Company does not maintain significant cash and deposit balances other than those required for its day to day operations.

iii) Liquidity risk

The Company's objective is to at all times maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. The Company relies on a mix of borrowings, capital infusion and excess operating cash flows to meet its needs for funds. The current committed lines of credit are sufficient to meet its short to medium term expansion needs. The Company monitors rolling forecasts of its liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

The table below provides undiscounted cash flows towards non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date.

The Company is required to maintain ratios (including total debt to EBITDA / net worth, EBITDA to gross interest, debt service coverage ratio and secured coverage ratio) as mentioned in the loan agreements at specified levels. In the event of failure to meet any of these ratios these loans become callable at the option of lenders, except where exemption is provided by lender.

42.2 Competition and price risk

The Company faces competition from domestic and international competitors. Nevertheless, it believes that it has competitive edvantage in terms of high quality products and by continuously upgrading its expertise and range of products and trustworthy and innovative solution to meet the needs of its custom ers.

42.3 Capital risk management

The Company m anages its capital structure and makes a djustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the onancial «:>penants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, she Company may adjust the dividend payment to shaoeholders, redeem or b uy back capital to oil areholders or issue new shares. The Company‘s primary objective when managing capital is to ensure that it maintains an efficient capital structure and healthy capital ratios and safeguard the Company‘s abil ity to continue as a goimg concern in ormer to support its bus iness and provide maximum returns for shareholders. Thy Company also proposes to maintain an optimal ca pital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

For the purpose of the Companyis capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and other equity. Net debt includes, interest bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents excluding discontinued operations.

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities and hierarchy

The Company maintains policies and procedures to value financial assets or financial liabilities using the best and most relevant data available. The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities are included

at the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

1. Fair value of cash and deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

2. Long-term fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables / borrowings are evaluated by the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, credit risk and other risk characteristics. Fair value of variable interest rate borrowings approximates their carrying values. For fixed interest rate borrowing fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method using discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowings rate. Risk of nonperformance for the Company is considered to be insignificant in valuation.

3. The fair values of derivatives are estimated by using pricing models, where the inputs to those models are based on readily observable market parameters, basis contractual terms, period to maturity, and market parameters such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and volatility. These models do not contain a high level of subjectivity as the valuation techniques used do not require significant judgment, and inputs thereto are readily observable from actively quoted market prices. Management has evaluated the credit and non-performance risks associated with its derivative counterparties and believe them to be insignificant and not warranting a credit adjustment.

Fair value hierarchy

The following table provides the fair value measurement hierarchy of Company's financial asset and

financial liabilities, grouped into Level 1 to Level 3 as described below:

Level 1- Quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices include within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3- Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

There were no significant changes in the classification and no significant movements between the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities during financial year 2021-22.

Fair valuation of financial guarantees

Financial guarantees issued by the company on behalf of Jindal Stainless Limited have been measured at fair value through profit and loss. Fair value of said guarantees as at 31 March 2022, and 31 March 2021 have been considered at nil as estimated by the management and an independent professional.

Leases

The Company adopted Ind AS 116 "Leases" and applied the standard to all lease contracts existing on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The Company has leases for office building, warehouses and related facilities.
