LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History:

Incorporated as a public limited company in Aug.'87, Twenty-First Century Printers (TCPL) received the certificate of commencement of business in Nov.'87. The company was promoted by Sajjan Jindal, Debasis Chaudhri and members of the Kanoria family. The company came out with a public issue in 1990. 

 
The company has facilities to manufacture printed blanks at Silvassa, Dadra and Nagar Haveli. It has a long-term contract with Godfrey Philips India, to supply printed cigarette shells to an extent of 60% of its installed capacity. The company's client list includes major cigarette manufacturing companies like Godfrey Philips India, ITC, VST Industries, etc. 

 
In Dec.'94, the company came out with a rights issue of 1.25 Millions zero-interest unsecured fully convertible debentures (FCDs) of Rs 50 at par, aggregating Rs 62.5 Millions to finance the expansion of its existing capacities. 
 
The company obtained ISO 9002 certificate by TUV Suddeutschland Germany in 1997. 

 
The company has installed Six Colour Sheet Fed Offset Printing Machinery with Coater along with the other equipments.  The project cost including the press and other equipment such as die cutters and folder gluers would be approximately Rs.150.0 Millions. This project is financed by way of Term Loan of Rs.100.000 Millions already sanctioned by ICICI and NCD by private placement basis.

 

Working Review : 

During the year 2006-07, the turnover of the Company has increased to Rs.1118.700 millions as against Rs.903.400 millions for the previous year ended 31st March 2006 representing a growth of 23.83%. The Company has also converted 17455 M.T of paperboard as against 14156 M.T. in the previous year. As usual, the Company continues to do a significant share of its business by the conversion route. However, had all the products been sold on sales basis, the turnover would have been Rs. 1398.400 millions as against Rs. 1136.100 millions, representing a growth of 23,09%. 


During the year under review, the profitability of the Company continues to improve over the previous year despite the losses incurred on account of new plant set-up at Haridwor. This is mainly due to higher capacity utilisation and higher value added jobs undertaken. 

 
The plant at Haridwar had to encounter several teething problems which were gradually overcome during the year under review. 


Performance : 

Silvassa plant: 

The operations at Silvassa plant have been extremely satisfactory which has resulted in higher turnover, profitability and capacity utilisation. The plant continues to service a large spectrum of customers from various industries and has been able to achieve higher levels of profitability on account of value added jobs besides record low wastages and high machine efficiencies. 

 
The Silvassa operation is one of the very few Indian packaging plants to continue to remain BRC/IoP certified. This recommendation has led to the Company getting increased orders from reputed manufacturers in the Food industry, particularly in Western Europe. This plant was certified BRC/IoP in May 2005 and thereafter the recertification continues on annual basis. 

 
From a very small turnover of Rs.6.450 millions in 2001-02, the Silvassa operation has been able to achieve export turnover of Rs.2.127 millions in the year 2006-07 as against the export turnover of Rs.178.200 millions in the year 2005-06 representing growth of 19.36%. 

 
Though the Directors have been focusing on developing the export market, the profitability of the same is under pressure due to the appreciation of the Rupee vis-a-vis U.S. Dollar. However, the Management has put in efforts to maintain profitability by focusing on higher value added jobs and optimizing the usage of raw materials. 
 
Haridwar Plant : 

The operations at Haridwar plant have now stabilized. This plant commenced operation in November 2005.

 

The year under review is the first full year of operations for this plant and though there is a loss on a net level, it has been able to break even on cask basis. 

 
Since it is a greenfield operation, the output and efficiency of the operations besides penetration in the market has taken some time, but the plant is now running at high level of capacity utilisation and the prospects for the current year are much brighter. 

 
The plant at Haridwar has also been certified BRC/IoP, which is a significant achievement considering that it is a new plant. Since this plant is also catering to a large number of food manufacturing customers in North India, this certification will enable them to maintain a larger market share. 

 
Future Prospects: 

With the widening base of customers, substantial increase in exports and multi-locational facility, the Company continues to remain a significant player in the folding carton industry and has been able to cater to a wide variety of FMCG companies. The Directors expect that during the year 2007-08, the turnover as well as profitability should further improve. 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT: 

Overview: 
During the year 2006-07, the company's sales have gone up from Rs.903.400 millions to Rs. 1118.700 millions The plants at Silvassa and Haridwar have converted 17455 M.T. of board as compared to 14156 MT in the previous year. 

 
The operating levels of the plant at Silvassa have been satisfactory in the year 2006-07 whereas the operations at Haridwar plant have now stabilized. 

 
Several of the large multinational companies operating in India are now their customers besides some of the most prestigious Indian companies. The exports have increased substantially from Rs. 178.200 millions to Rs.212.700 millions in the year under review. 

 
Industry Structure and Developments : 

The year 2006-07 has witnessed growth in the FMCG Industry. Due to rising incomes fuelled by a good monsoon, year on year, growth is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Therefore the packaging industry in India has a very optimistic outlook, particularly in terms of volume growth though the margins continue to be under pressure due to increased competition. 

 

Financial Performance : 

During the year. under review, the performance of the company has improved over the previous year. A brief summary of the financial performance has already been explained in the Directors Report. 

 
As the company is engaged in the business of printing and packaging, which is a single business segment, providing segment-wise information is not relevant. 


Opportunities: 
The company now has manufacturing plants in two geographical locations in India and as such is in a better position to fulfill requirements of a very wide base of customers manufacturing FMCG products. 

 
Due to the Geographical locations of the plant, the company is ideally suited for catering to both, the export market and to the local FMCG market which is increasingly shifting to the tax free zones. 

 
Threats: 
New projects and increase in capacity of existing plants in the printing / packaging industry continue to be commissioned which result in pressure on margins. Besides in exports; the Government continues to lower benefits and at the same time, the Rupee is steadily appreciating against major world currencies putting further pressure on margins.
