SWOT Analysis of AGL:

Strengths:

Over 170 years in the field of electricity & gas generation.

Australia's largest private owned Power Company.

Australia's only Power Company in ASX.

World's largest Wind Farm project is being built by AGL.

As they are very old players in field of electricity, AGL has a goodwill which their competitors don't have.

Australia's largest retail company.

Over 3million customers all over Australia.

Fully Australian owned so, people have soft corner.

Moderate financial ratio minimum target and

Conservative dividend policy.

Weaknesses:

Aggressive growth strategy :

AGL has started many different projects all over Australia and even many are in pipeline. If there are more projects running at a time, every project has an initial investment which is high and a project takes atleast 2 years to complete depending on the size of the project. This results in facing of different constructional, economic, social challenges for AGL. So, lots of capital gets stuck for over a period of time in these projects.

AGL should work out new market strategies and not stick to the old policy because the market is changing widely.

Higher Cap price.

Opportunities:

AGL has great opportunities in future with just little modifications in their market strategies and policies. As I mentioned in the Strength section that AGL is the Australia's largest single energy retailer company with over 3millions customers already with them. This figure is very difficult for their competitors to achieve. Each and every person in Australia knows about AGL which is the greatest achievement and that competitors cannot do. AGL has manpower, capital, projects, and contacts which keep them apart from the competitors and as power generation is the booming field in Australia, there are lots of opportunities for AGL especially in the field of Renewable Energy. As we all know, Australia's new President Ms. Julie Gillard promotes sustainable power and have introduce lots of schemes like carbon tax, etc. So, this is the right time for AGL to rise in renewable power generation as its Australia's target that by 2020, 20% of total power must be generated through renewable sources.

Threats:

The biggest threat for AGL is the competitors like Origin, TruEnergy, Red energy which are also big giants in Power generation.

Due to privatisation of electricity there is no bar on new companies being introduced in the market each year.

It is very difficult for AGL to cope up with the rates that their competitors provide to customers.

In states of Victoria and NSW AGL has one of the highest rate for /KWh than the other competitors.

Due to different marketing strategies implemented by new companies to have their impact on people, it's time for AGL to rework on their policies.

Now, Companies goes to the customer's doorstep to market their product which is a very effective method of marketing and AGL was the last company to implement this strategy.

AGLs relationship with their Customers:

Code of Conduct:

This is the policy of AGL to deal with their customers and keep them satisfy. AGL works on the principle of "Action-not Words." The Code of Conduct policy of AGL is for their employees, customers and each and every person linked with AGL by one or the other means. The Code of Conduct has following subclasses:

Do not discriminate while dealing with different customers.

Respecting Confidentiality:

It is very important for an employee to not leak any information to a third party person or even to his close ones

All the employees should read the company policy and act as mentioned in those policies.

AGL will provide following to their employees so that it would be easy for the employees to act:

AGL will make it easy to understand all the policies to the employees.

AGL will provide safe & secure working environment at the workplace.

AGL will not tolerate any harassment done to any employ and will take strict action.

AGL will provide a peaceful and fun environment so that employees will feel relaxed and enjoy their work.

AGL provides Employee Assistance Service to help their employees in better way.

Looking after the community:

Neither the employees nor AGL as a whole organisation should affect outer environment in any way.

AGL should take all the precautions to reduce environmental hazards caused by generation of electricity or by any employee as an individual.

Safety measures should be understand and implemented by each and every AGL employee.

The entire employee should try to adopt eco-friendly methods in their day to day life.

Observing the laws:

To assist the employees understand the different laws AGL do the following:

Code of Conduct beneficial for AGL Customers:

Code of Conduct policy is like a feedback and reporting of any complaint for AGL customers.

If the customer is not happy with the service or has an issue with any of the AGL employ then through AGL's Code of Conduct policy he can directly report it to the higher authorities.

First, customer has to report the matter immediately to the leader.

If any customer feels that no action is taken after reporting to the leader he can then take his complaint at the upper level i.e. to General Manager.

This policy of AGL is a two way flow both for employees as well as for the customers which make their bonding special. This is the reason why AGL stands apart from all its competitors because AGL's business has transparency and any customer can take his/her complaint to the higher level.

Financial Analysis of AGL:

Table 7 shows the current assets with AGL (AGL annual report 2010, p.51)

Table shows the current assets with AGL. The table has three columns in which first column refers to the Notes means the detailed transaction of the assets of particular subclass while the other two columns are the assets for year 2010 and 2009 respectively. In this report I won't be explaining all the subclasses in details but just to give you the rough idea I will cover few subclasses in details.

In the Current asset class the first subclass is cash & cash equivalents. In the note column the number written is 12 which means Note number 12 gives the detail description of the subclass called cash & cash equivalents which is shown in table 8. Cash & cash equivalents means cash deposited in bank i.e. company account or hard cash in hand and the other form of cash & cash equivalents can be safe deposits like Fixed deposits (FD) for a specific period of time. In year 2009 AGL $67.5 million of cash at bank while in year 2010 i.e. till the date 30June 2010 AGL has $41.8 million in bank and cash in hand, while the short-term deposits are $438.6 million and $555.6 million as on 30 June 2010 and 2009 respectively. The other subclass is Trade and other receivables and the detailed information of this subclass could be seen in table 9 which is Note 13. This section tells about the amount that AGL has to receive from the market. It could be a dead investment or a kind of loan given in the market to other firm. In Table 5 it clearly specifies the receivables and they are unbilled amounts from customers, amounts owing from the associates or any firm and amount owing from joint venture i.e. partnership firm. So, in the same way table 10 describes about other subclasses. Finally, after deducting all the liabilities and adding all the current & non-current assets AGL has about $5,799.9 million as on date 30 June 2010.

Table 8

Table 9

Table 10

Table 11shows the revenue of AGL in different area of operation (AGL annual report 2010, p. 65)

Table 11 shows revenue AGL gets from its different areas of operation. As I had mentioned before AGL operates in 3 main fields i.e. Retail Energy, Merchant Energy, and Upstream Gas. This table also gives the investment made by AGL in field of Energy. From the table it is clear that most of the revenue that AGL receives is from Retail sector. So, the revenue of AGL has increased than last year i.e. in 2009 the total revenue AGL received from all the 3 sectors was $7,979.9 million while as on 30 June 2010 the total revenue is $8.067.9 million which is a very significant figure. The reason for this increase is due to the rapid development in field of Sustainable energy.

Table 12shows the income statement for the financial year end 30 June 2010. (AGL annual report 2010, p. 49)

Table 12 shows the overall Income statement of AGL for the year end 30 June 2010. The table gives the income received from revenue and other financial sources. It gives the profit that AGL grabbed before deduction of tax and after deduction. AGL has grabbed a profit of $428.9 million which is an increase by 13.2% than the previous year including all the profit from shares.

AGL in Sustainability:

AGL has achieved its aim of supplying 1TWh of renewable energy, which makes AGL Australia's largest retailer in renewable energy. Some of the renewable projects by AGL are listed below with their respective capacities:

Table 15 shows different Wind projects of AGL in Australia. (AGL annual report 2010)

The Macarthur when complete will be the largest Wind Farm Project in Southern hemisphere. AGL also has started dealing in solar power with rebates given by Australian government on installation of solar panel at homes. Australian government have made it mandatory to all the electricity generating company in Australia that 20% of total electricity must be generated through renewable energy by the year 2020. As AGL has the maximum number of customers it is very important for them to achieve this target within the specific time frame. The scheme works in following manner:

AGL have sent a letter to its entire customer about the Australian Renewable Policy.

The letter states about the solar panel installation at the homes.

After the letter is received to the customers, the customers who are willing to install or enquire about solar panel gives a call to AGL's customer service.

Before installing a solar panel at customer's house, they need to go through roof inspection which is done by AGLs engineer visiting customer's house.

Customer has to pay $500 for inspection, which are refundable if they fail in the inspection.

After the inspection the engineer submits the report to AGL stating that whether it is possible to setup solar panel at customer's house or no.

If it is possible then a representative from AGL calls to the specific customer and tells him that you have successfully gone through the inspection and solar panel could be setup at your house.

If the customer is willing to install then he has to pay $4000 for the solar system. The actual cost of this system is around $10,000 but its Australian Government rebate that customer only has to pay $4000 and the remaining $6000 is paid by Government.

After installation of solar panel at the customers house, the customer gets 68 cents/kW of electricity generated which is the highest amount AGL gives than any other company.

Future of AGL:

AGL has a wide scope in future especially in field of Sustainability. The reason is because of the new president elected Ms. Julia Gillard who supports green power and is more concerned about Green house gas emission issues. As AGL is the largest energy retailer in Australia it will make significant change in field of renewable energy and also for Australian government to achieve their target of 20% renewable power generation, AGL is the key company for them and need to concentrate on them.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, AGL is a growing firm and has achieved a significant profit of $428.9 million, which is almost 13.2% increase in last year's profit margin. AGL is making tremendous development in field of sustainability which is going to be the future of not only Australia but worlds. So, AGL has a wide scope in Australia as well as in world and could be one of the biggest renewable energy generation company in the world. AGL knows how to treat their customers and for AGL their customers are the main assets so, AGL makes all possible precautions to keep its customer happy. It is true that competitors have increased, but it hardly makes any difference to AGL because AGL is in the power business from last 170 years and the goodwill they have achieved I don't think so any other company or their competitors have that. But one thing is for sure that AGL needs to keep itself upgraded each time by modifying their policies with varying time and depending on the market flexibility if they want to stay in the number 1 position. All and all AGL is doing great and has a great future in Power sector.
