EFFECT OF FINANCIAL CRISES ON MARUTI SUZUKI

Consolidated sales were ¥3,004,888 million (85.8% year on year, y-oy) for this fiscal year, below consolidated sales of the previous year, on account of the overseas sales reduction and yen appreciation.

As for consolidated profits, operating income, ordinary income and net income declined to ¥76,926 million (51.5% y-o-y), ¥79,675 million (50.8% y-o-y) and ¥27,429 million (34.2% y-o-y), respectively, because the reduced costs, reduced depreciation and operating expenses, etc. were unable to cover the reduced profits on account of the reduced sales, increased raw material costs, exchange influences and increased research and development expenses.

In addition, non-consolidated sales declined to ¥1,685,777 million (83.0% y-o-y) for this fiscal year. As for non-consolidated profits, operating income, ordinary income and net income declined to ¥11,422 million (16.9% y-o-y), ¥4,133 million (6.7% y-o-y) and ¥3,287 million (8.0% y-o-y), respectively, because the reduced costs, reduced depreciation/amortization and operating expenses, etc. were unable to cover the reduced profits on account of the reduced sales, exchange influences and increased research and development expenses.

Automobile sales have dropped in various parts of the world, however, on account of the world financial crisis, and we are faced with unprecedented crisis with the prospect of more than 30% fall in expected sales for the next year compared to previous fiscal year.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

“given the dynamic market situation… we have to accept uncertainty andconsciously plan for it. Planning for uncertainty for us would mean building flexibilityand agility throughout our value chain. It means speed. Lower response times. Fasterdecision making. A positive approach to change.” -MD & CEO, Maruti Suzuki in theAnnual Report 2008-09

Flexibility and Agility were identified as the mantras to win in a volatileenvironment. This approach was communicated to all employees, vendors and dealers. A closewatch on demand in domestic and export markets, strong inventory control, shorter leadtimes, a stretch on capacities, and better product mix flexibility helped the Companyachieve overall growth of 28.5% over the previous year. The Company sold 1,018,365vehicles during the year. This comprised of 870,790 cars in the domestic market (growth of21%) and 147,575 in the export market (growth of 111%).

For the first time, Maruti Suzuki was able to make and sell more than a millionvehicles in a year.

The Company launched a new model, refreshed four existing models and introduced itsnext generation K-series engines in four models.

Sustainability

The Company’s relationship with its stakeholders is one of mutual well-being and trust.As part of its National Road Safety Mission, the Company trained 1,37,000 people in safedriving at Institutes of Driving Training and Research and Maruti Driving Schools. Ofthese, training of 28,000 people was sponsored by the Company.

MEASURES TO OVERCOME FROM THIS SITUATION:

The management environment drastically changed in the latter half of this year, and the situation has become severer, but the Company recorded profits for the full year. Therefore, to express our gratitude for our shareholders, we decided to distribute ¥8 as the dividend at the end ofthe current fiscal year (¥16/year including interim dividend), the same as the previous year.

STRETEGIES IMPLEMENTED IN MARUTI SUZUKI

Company has stopped acting in a self-styled manner and get back to the basics” as basic policy in promoting the growth strategy, reviewed every aspect of business to strengthen our management practices.

To overcome this crisis, Company has been making concerted efforts as a group with the slogan of “Try our ingenuity to overcome difficulties.”

Facing the fact of a large reduction in sales squarely, Co promoted the establishment of system to ensure profits in the declining sales by cost reduction by “reduction of a gram and cost reduction of 1 yen per part,” squeezing of fixed expenses by “internal cost reduction activities” and further reviewing of organizations and systems.

Co has made efforts to reinforce the sales force by increasing and training sales persons, also to build and enhance “Suzuki Arena Shops”, for further expansion of market share. In overseas markets, Co has tried to improve SUZUKI brand image by using the slogan of “Way of life” and increase the level of overseas bases through promotion of local procurement of parts, cost reduction activities, further improvement of quality and further progress in productivity, as well as sales enhancement.

Company has done efforts for the development of high-mileage and low-emission technologies such as diesel engine cars, hybrid cars and electriccars mainly with the product development abilities for small cars, the strength of our Group, based on the alliance with each company

CONCLUSION & FUTURE PROSPECTS

The passenger vehicle market size in India is now comparable to some of the developed economies of the world and ranks 7th globally. A simple extrapolation of the past growth rates suggests that India will improve its ranking from this level. The presence of a number of global players, the introduction of technology, features, styling and regulation indicate that the market is gradually attaining maturity. While all indicators suggest a good growth path for the market, a number of entrants are eyeing the same market.

The Company has in the past built a position for itself in terms of a sizeable portfolio of relevant products, a wide network with good systems and processes, strong customer equity, R&D capability, cost leadership, and a profitable business model with healthy practices for its vendors, dealers and itself. There is a well-defined roadmap for building on strengths like products, total cost of ownership, sales and service net work and systems and processes for customer delight. They all augur well for the future, but the risks to organizations at such levels are more internal than external. The Company has to watch out for signs of complacence, self satisfaction or sluggishness. The only benchmark has to be a sharper understanding and anticipation of the stated and unstated need of the customer. The Company, therefore has to keep attacking itself, keep challenging its own levels of past achievement, keep setting high benchmarks for improvement and continue dedicating itself to under standing and serving its customers

MARUTI BETTER PREPARED TO FACE CHALLENGES

We expect Maruti will be able to protect its domestic market share over the next 3 years. The company has a comprehensive plan to raise production capabilities and enrich product portfolio.

CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS TO EASE

The company has surprised us with the following announcements:

Production capacity to be raised by 10% from H2 through debottlenecking;

Expansion plans now include another unit in Manesar, for 250,000 units (+15%).

PORTFOLIO BEING ENRICHED

Maruti’s product strategy covers the following aspects:

1. Upgrade portfolio through complete makeover including new generation engines.

2. Introduce variants using alternative fuels e.g., CNG, ensuring early mover advantage in segments with future growth potential;

3. Foray into segments yet to be addressed, although sizeable e.g., premium cars, utility vehicles.

PRODUCT UPGRADES DISTINGUISHABLE

Maruti’s entire portfolio has been replaced with next-generation engines (M-series,K-series), which deliver superior fuel efficiency with increased power. Further,

Wagon-R, Alto models have undergone complete makeovers with sporty exteriors and refreshing interiors. All of this is reflecting in stronger growth (YTD up 35%, of

which compact hatchbacks up 50%).

CNG COULD BE INDIS’S FUTURE

Maruti has introduced factory fitted CNG vehicles on popular models Zen Estilo, Wagon-R, Swift, Eeco and SX4. Initially, the models will be available in Mumbai, Delhi and Gujarat, but with roll out of the CNG infrastructure in the country, we expect Maruti’s early mover advantage will help it achieve meaningful sales over longer term.

PREMIUM LAUNCH NEXT YEAR

We expect Kizashi sedan to be introduced by April 2011. Market size of the premium D segment is relatively miniscule at ~57,000 units (2.5% of industry), but

grown at 15% annually over past 5 years. Maruti’s franchise is weak outside of small cars, but we believe the company would not repeat its failures in C segment

Business world, one of the leading business magazines of India has come with a list of most respected companies in India across various sectors. In Automobile sector, they ranked Maruti Udyog as first followed by Tata motors and Ford India. According to the article, Maruti which holds the 55 % share of the 1.2 million indian market overshadowed its competitors by the 2 lakhs to 5 lakhs range products.
