Strategising for the Next Phase

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me immense pleasure to present to you, the annual report for FY18. Despite the operational challenges in a few business segments & the structural shifts in our operating environments, our company has remained steadfast in its commitment to business excellence by staying true to our core values of doing things differently and honouring commitments with great perseverance.

Our journey began in 1983 as a private shipping company and I seek great delight in witnessing its transformation into an energy focused conglomerate. Over the last few years, our company has faced certain headwinds, on its path to success. I believe, however, that the next few years will be truly remarkable for Mercator, marked by improved financials, stronger corporate governance and better returns on capital. I am excitedly looking forward to this very fulfilling journey of transformation and am thankful for your continued support..

Warm regards,

H.K. Mittal Executive Chairman

Dear Shareholders,

FY18 proved to be a year of deep introspection on my part and the consolidation of each segment of our business. We witnessed a few operational challenges in our business and structural shifts in our operating environment in the period between FY16 and FY18. In line with the changing business environment, we decided to strategically modify our business model such that FY19 and FY20 become years of superior growth.

A key achievement in FY18 was the swift progress in developing our oil & gas segment, for which we had declared commerciality only in August 2017. The Field Development Plans (FDP) for 23 Miliion barrels of oil in the two oil fields in the Cambay Basin, Jyoti I & II, were submitted and approved. We achieved trial production in the two fields at the end of FY18 and have since, received the mining lease to commence commercial production. Jyoti I & II will produce high-quality light-weight crude, which will sell at a premium. We aim to close FY19 at a production rate of ~5,500 barrels of oil per day. This segment is expected to be our largest growth driver in future with ~35% of FY20’s EBITDA contribution coming from oil & gas. With the MoU with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) for crude oil sales already in place, we are projecting a production of ~2 Miliion barrels of oil by FY20.

Our coal business witnessed a roadblock in the first half of FY18, which led to temporary disruptions in operations. We had to replace the entire management team at our Indonesian headquarters due to reports of business irregularities and misappropriations. We halted mining activities towards the middle of the3rd quarter to ensure a complete cleanup. However, we are were able to resume operations within a short period and fully ramped up production

by the end of Q4. I am happy to report that we are currently achieving all-time high production and dispatch levels. We expect FY19 coal production at close to 2 Million tonnes with a 60:40 split between the 3,700/3,800 Kcal and the 4,200 Kcal coal. By FY20, the higher quality of coal reserves i.e. the 4,200 Kcal will have a 50% share in the total production, bringing better realisations for the business. By end of FY19 we also expect to increase volumes of dispatch from third-party customers using our coal infrastructure and jetty.

Dredging continues to be a key focus area for us, we consciously moved towards bidding for higher margin contracts in the dredging segment during FY18. We have a large order pipeline of over ₹156 Crore for FY19 and continue to maintain our bidding success rate of more than 50%. The recent announcements by the Government of India with regards to National Waterways development, building of new ports and dredging of key rivers like the Ganga augurs well for the dredging sector in India. In our quest for higher margin and long-term contracts, we are also now bidding for contracts in other Asian countries.

In the shipping business, we monetised our aged fleet during the year. While all our vessels except the VLCC will remain 100% operational, FY19 is still expected to be a slightly tough year

for the shipping sector due to pressure on global charter and VLCC rates. By FY20, we expect the demand-supply gap in the global tanker industry to narrow significantly, which will aid the rebound in VLCC charter rates and subsequently, infuse new life into our shipping business.

After several years of considerable strategic efforts, we are now a stronger, well diversified and a more productive organisation. The results of our efforts will be seen from H2 of FY19 onwards. We believe that FY20 will be the year of superior growth with targeted revenues of ₹1,450-₹1,550 Crore, EBITDA of ₹600-₹630 Crore and EBITDA margins of more than 35%. This growth will be supported by full stream operations of the oil and gas segment and scaling of our coal business.

I look forward to working with our committed and empowered management team and supporting them as we pursue continued growth. We are focussed on high standards of corporate governance, and creating meaningful sustainable value for our shareholders. I look forward to your continued support.

Warm regards,

Shalabh MittalChief Executive Officer

ii Impairmenttestingforfleet

The Company has assessed ‘recoverable amount’ of each fleet by estimating their “value in use”, in terms of Ind-AS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. ‘Value in use’ is estimated by applying appropriate discount rate to projected net cash inflows having regard to existing long term contracts, expected tariff based on past trends and costs to operate the fleet which represents the management’s best estimate of the set of economic conditions that will exist over remaining useful life of each fleet. Based on the aforementioned assessment, it has been concluded that ‘recoverable amount’ of the fleet is higher than their respective carrying amount.
