DIRECTORS’ REPORT & MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISDEAR MEMBERS,Your Directors are pleased to present their 84th report on the business and operations of your Company together with the AuditedStatement of Accounts for the year ended March 31, 2009.

1. CORPORATE OVERVIEWRaymond Limited (hereinafter referred to as your Company/the Company) is India’s leading multi-product conglomerate withinterests in textiles, apparels, retail, brands and engineering (files & tools) having its corporate headquarters in Mumbai.

The Company prepares its financial statements in compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956, and theGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India. Overall the financial statements have been prepared on thehistorical cost basis.

2. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSWhile the first half operating performance of your Company was generally in line with expectations, the mainstay textilebusiness was adversely impacted by the drop in consumer sentiment as fallout of the economic downturn. The second half ofthe year generally is the main season for textiles. In addition, due to the restricted credit availability to the trade, the Companyhad to carefully monitor despatches.

Consequently your Company has registered only nominal growth in turnover. During the year, the gross turnover of the Companywas Rs.1393.25 crores as compared to Rs.1337.56 crores in the previous year.

Profit before tax, prior period adjustments, exceptional items and foreign exchange loss/gain was Rs.30.35 crores as againstRs.69.31 crores in the previous year. The performance was affected by foreign exchange loss of Rs 89.10 crores.

After factoring in the foreign exchange loss, the loss before tax, prior period adjustments and exceptional items was Rs.58.75crores as against the profit of Rs.86.15 crores in the previous year.

The operations of your Company’s denim joint venture - Raymond UCO Denim Private Limited were restructured by closingdown two of its heavily loss making subsidiaries in Belgium and USA. The Company has assessed the situation considering theprevailing economic uncertainties and based on a valuation report of an independent valuer, provided for diminution ofRs.230.13 crores, in the value of the Company’s investments in the joint venture, as an exceptional item. Your Company has alsoimpaired its investment in its overseas subsidiary - Regency Texteis Portuguesa Limitada by Rs. 5.12 crores, as an exceptionalitem.

Thus, the net loss, after exceptional items, prior year adjustments and provision for taxes was Rs. 271.55 crores as against a netprofit of Rs.72.42 crores last year.

In order to conserve the resources of the Company and taking into account the prevailing uncertain economic situation theBoard of Directors of the Company have decided not to recommend dividend for the financial year ended March 31, 2009.

However, your Company looks beyond immediate challenges to build business with long-term goals based on your Company’sintrinsic strength both in terms of product quality and also brands and distribution strength, thereby sustaining growth despitethe current turbulent business environment. Your Company is also focused on bringing down costs and streamlining operationsto improve future profitability.

3. OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY

In the past year, markedly during the second half, the Indian as well as the global economy witnessed a high degree ofuncertainty and rapid slowdown. The global recession impacted the fortunes of corporates across geographies. The IMF hasestimated that world economic growth will fall its lowest since World War II. Although the jury is still out on whether the globalrecession could potentially turn out to be another great depression like in the 1930s, there is a strong school of thought which isexpecting a slow and gradual recovery in the year 2010, once there is some stability achieved during the year 2009.

The Indian economy too has not been isolated from what has been happening in the global economy; in fact, it only becameabundantly clear that the fortunes of the Indian economy are not decoupled from the rest of the world. As export demandcontinued to shrink during the year and external financing became progressively constrained, the pace of growth in the Indianeconomy slowed down.

The good thing though is that the Indian economy is not entirely export dependent, which has worked to its advantage and itslarge domestic consumption demand has helped prop up the GDP growth rates and has prevented it from slipping intonegative territory.

It is expected by many that once the global economy stabilises and shows some signs of recovery, the Indian economy will beamongst the first few economies that would lead the world on the path of an economic turnaround.

4. SEGMENT ANALYSIS AND REVIEW

The key business segments of the Company are Textile and Files & Tools Divisions.

A. TEXTILE DIVISION

Industry Conditions

The Indian textiles and apparels sector is a major contributor to the Indian economy in terms of gross domestic product (GDP),industrial production and the country’s total export earnings. This sector provides employment to over 35 million people and hasdirect linkages to the rural economy and the agricultural sector.

Page 5: Board of Directors Dr. Vijaypat Singhania, Chairman Emeritus Gautam Hari

The Indian textile industry is currently passing through a turbulent phase. With the global downturn ravaging economies, thetextile sector is one of the worst hit. The effect of demand contraction and credit squeeze resulted in over 7 lac textile workerslosing their jobs (by November 2008).

The drop in the levels of discretionary spending along with the credit squeeze spreading to the trade also contributed in nosmall measure.

However there is a slight thaw in the negative trend and it is expected that the economy may improve from the second half ofthe Financial Year 2009-10, when the pent up demand of the Indian consumers would come to the fore and provide furthertraction to facilitate investment demand.

Opportunities and Challenges

The present global economic scenario throws up opportunities for fundamentally strong companies such as your Company. Theinherent strengths, in the form of strong domain expertise, powerful brand positioning, strength and resilience of the brands, fullyintegrated state of the art production facilities, cutting-edge technology and unparalleled product innovation capabilitiescombined with the deep retail market penetration, provide a highly potent platform to seize the opportunities that are boundto arise during cyclical downturns in the form of newer markets, new segments of customers, new channels of distribution, etc.

On the other hand, during the Financial Year 2008-09, the volatility witnessed in the forex markets, credit squeeze, high costs ofborrowings, drop in discretionary spending especially in export markets, disbursements of Technology Upgradation Fund (TUF)loan subsidies are some of the challenges facing the textile industry at large.

Overview

The Company is the market leader in the textiles sector in India, has a powerful brand ‘Raymond’, state of the art manufacturingfacilities and a strong all India retail presence in the form of ‘The Raymond Shop’ (‘TRS’). While focusing on its vision of being theglobal leader in fashion and lifestyle segment, your Company is now also establishing itself as a preferred supplier ofvalue-added premium fabric in the international markets. The Company is on the path to becoming a lifestyle solution fordiscerning customers with an offering of a range of fabrics, garments and accessories in a premium shopping environment.

During the year 2008-09, the phase III of the Company’s textile Division at Vapi commenced commercial production.

Performance Highlights

Despite the severe downturn faced in the year 2008-09, poor consumer sentiments and the credit squeeze, the Company’s netsales from the textile division registered a nominal growth. Net sales for the year was Rs.1137.85 crores as compared to Rs.1133.85crores in the previous year.

Market Share and Retail Network

The Company is the undisputable market leader in India and is considered as one of the more formidable players in the globalmarket for worsted suitings.

The Company continues to focus on the retail sector in a big way and is now concentrating on penetrating further into the Tier3, 4 and 5 towns of the country. Even in existing malls and other locations, the rent renegotiations are being aggressively pursuedby the Company which is resulting in rental cost savings. The Company’s like-to-like own store sales growth was to the order of4% which augurs well for the future. The Company continues to be judicious in its selection of store locations with profitability asthe key criterion.

Export

Textile exports for the Financial Year 2008-09 were Rs.110 crores, as against Rs.114 crores in the previous year. Quality, design,service to mid premium and premium customers has resulted in stability of customers internationally and new customers beingattracted to provide an integrated offering.

B. FILES & TOOLS DIVISIONThe Division is engaged in manufacture and marketing of Steel Files, HSS Cutting Tools (mainly drills) and Merchandising activitiesmainly in Hand Tools. During the year, the Division further consolidated its position in Cutting Tools and Hand Tools segments.

Industry OutlookGlobally, the Steel Files business has stagnated and has not registered growth in demand. However, your Company’s Division hasbeen in a position to improve its market share in the international market with sustained marketing and business developmentefforts. Timely action on market segmentation, price hikes, tight control on liquidity, cost-control, etc. also contributed. The CuttingTools business recorded growth in the year despite stiff competition in the domestic as well as in export market.

Opportunities and Threats

The challenge before this Division is to sustain growth and profitability in the background of the recessionary climate. Theweakening of currencies in some of the major markets like Latin America, Africa etc., is leading to price pressure by buyers. Allthese factors are going to make the current financial year very challenging for this Division.
