DIVIDEND and APPROPRIATION

With a view to conserving internal accruals, your Directors recommend deferral of dividend on preference shares for the year under review. Keeping in mind the arrears of preference dividend (Rs.93.72 million), the Directors are unable to propose any dividend on equity shares.

 

OPERATING RESULTS AND PROFITABILITY

During the year, the net sales of the Company grew by 17% from Rs.2848 million in the previous year to Rs.3330 million. Exports registered 21% growth to Rs.1518 million as against Rs.1251 million during the previous year. Despite the growth in overall turnover, Profit after Tax for the year was lower at Rs.7.67 million as against Rs.28.81 million during the previous year on account of a variety of reasons. Briefly, these were:

a. Increase in raw material prices consequent to increase in price of crude and other downstream crude products. Despite sustained efforts, the impact could not be passed on fully to the customers.

b. The tandem extrusion line which was commissioned towards the end of the previous year could not be utilized to optimum capacity during the first three quarters of the year due to technical issues particularly with the Cloren dies.

c. The starting of manufacturing operations in Nigeria resulted in the Company opting for increased orders from domestic customers in the last two quarters, which resulted in reduced size of average orders.

d. The commencement of manufacturing operations by competitors in specified industrial areas with economic benefits forced the Company to absorb certain elements of cost to retain and service the customers.

e. The interest cost was higher during the year as a result of increased level of borrowings and absorption of interest for the full year on investment in the Nigerian subsidiary.

f. The Company continued with its policy to invest in the creation of human capital by appropriate revision in employee compensation and other human resource development initiatives which led to increased personnel cost.

 

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

The packaging industry specially the "Flexible Packaging" industry has witnessed steady growth over the last decade. The general growth in the Indian economy over the last few years clearly has led to the recovery of the FMCG sector which is the demand driver for tneir industry. The increasing urbanization, high aspiration levels, favorable demographics and growing disposable incomes have boosted growth potential of modern retail in general and food, grocery, cold chain products' retailing in particular. Consequently, the expected increase in demand for products to be packed in superior quality, hygienic and attractive flexible packaging augurs well for the prospects of the flexible packaging industry. While outlook for the industry holds true promise, there are various factors that could continue to affect margins. The challenges to control packaging costs due to intense competition amongst 'end-user' companies has resulted in commoditization of flexible packaging to a certain extent by economizing packaging specifications. Customers are resorting to e-auctions, tenders, fixed rate contracts and other cost-efficient buying methods. The continued appreciation bias of the Rupee would be an additional challenge apart from increasing costs, both on manufacturing and finance.

 

PERFORMANCE OF DIVISIONS and BRANCH

NEWS

Positive about the future

R Krishnamurthy, Director - Marketing + Operations, Positive Packaging, one of the global giants in the flexible packaging arena; and Award Winner at India Star Packaging Awards discusses trends in the packaging industry with Ramu Ramanathan

Indian Manufacturers: Of late, Indian machine manufacturers have started manufacturing precision printing presses and laminators. These machines are cost effective as compared to imported machines. They have now graduated and have made significant forays in exporting the same to advanced markets as well.  Growth opportunities: It’s interesting but most of today’s education materials are through Government presses. There has been signs of privatisation too. Possibly, the publishing industry must be looking at this obvious opportunity and should made drawn up plans to capitalise on the same.

FMCG Market: There's no hard data available. However to add ... development of healthy and environment friendly packaging materials, multi-purpose packages, increased aesthetic in packaging, packaging suitable to hold larger volumes, and other innovative packaging methods are some ways that can help the packaging industry to attract a share of increased FMCG spending for packaging needs.

Locus standii for the industry: The print and packaging industry, considered a key sector, is ranked amongst the first 10 in most advanced and matured countries and enjoys a position of priority. In spite of the above, in India the major portion of the business is in the unorganised sector and the representation to the Government is not done through an organised body. This could be one major reason. If the pharma industry gains priority on the grounds of health, I think the print industry should be given similar legitimacy since it is a key literacy driver. This point needs to be well expressed at the correct forums for the recognition.

Good network: This is key to good business. The companies in the organised sector ensure good raw materials and components of quality; a proper network of suppliers; assessment of suppliers' quality and reliability; and contracts with suppliers.  Some of our international suppliers include Exxon Mobil, Dow Chemicals, Rohm & Hass amongst others. We partner many reputed international suppliers to ensure quality service to our customers.

Brand building in India: The common salt is today no more a commodity, but is a recognised brand from the leading corporates in Tatas, Hindustan Lever, amongst other giants. So is the case with Atta!!! Need we say more? Without print / packaging, there can be no brand and no shelf appeal. Packaging is a silent salesman too. 

Potential print market: With existing and newer growth in the FMCG sector, the visibility of the packaged products is bound to increase. Added to this, the conventional packing methods are giving way to innovative packaging, to ensure better preservation, hygiene, and convenience in carriage, eye appeal and more. Increased dependability on fast foods are emanating from changing life-styles. The invading mall culture will surely contribute to better visibility. Today’s consumer is health and hygiene conscious and selective of the products they buy. Given India’s growing middle class, the demand for packaged products will surely be on the high.

International presence: We have been regularly participating in international exhibitions, seminars and conferences to augment better awareness. Participation at Interpack, Dusseldorf has now become a habit for us. It is one platform which gives us international exposure and introduction to many new customers across the globe. Our present exposure in over 35 countries can be to a great extent credited to such international exhibition participations.

 

Business gains: Of late, Indian products have found greater acceptance globally. Smaller affordable unit packs have revolutionized sales. The government’s positive role in aiding the food processing industry has also been a stimulant for growth.  Print job: For us, the creation of rituals pouches for premium tea bags would be a memorable print job and an unique packaging concept.


The new mantra: Logistic support is definitely the order of the day. It helps in maintaining ‘just in time’ inventory levels. Quality after sales service has always been appreciated and has been responsible for increased business too. Safety and environment, which ensures elimination of health hazard and preservation of natural resources, are newer areas of customer awareness. These are fast gaining recognition and will soon become statutory.

Strategy for excellence and globalisation: Product quality, value added after-sales service and innovative developmental activities are the three keys for excellence in both the domestic and global arena.

Biggest challenge: Backward integrations by user companies in setting up their own converting units is one such visible challenge. Environmental issues and dependence on petroleum-based products are the others.


Your 2010 vision: To become Numero Uno in the global converting industry with respect to quality and service. And to be a R&D hub for customers’ packaging needs.

 

Performance

The company is professionally managed and follows good corporate governance and ethical policies. It has been growing steadily and operates today from various locations in India and abroad. With a view to enhance its corporate image, achieve significantly large growth and also ensure continued good corporate governance, the company has chosen to be converted into a Public Limited Company.

 

“Positive Packaging” has today established itself as a brand that is synonymous with quality, service and reliability. Over the years customers and suppliers have associated the company with the name “Positive Packaging”. In order to retain this Brand Equity the company has stored its original name “Positive Packaging Industries Limited”

 

Operating Results and Profitability

During the year, the company recorded a net income of Rs 2271 million as against Rs 1844 million during the previous year, a growth of 23%. Exports registered a 12% growth to Rs. 1068 million as against Rs 951 million during the previous year. However net profit after tax for the year declined to Rs 52 million as against Rs 135 million during the previous year. The drop in profits is mainly due to the higher interest charges and depreciation provision on account of expansion in production capacity. The input costs and depreciation provision on account of expansion in production capacity. The input costs or raw materials have also increased due to general escalation in crude oil prices. The benefits of the capacity expansion are expected to accrue in the coming years.

 

Performance of Divisions and Outlook

Packaging has been gaining importance due to the increasing number of branded products in the market place and because of the competition amongst them. Whilst the role of aesthetics for brand recall is of vital importance, developments in polymers have enhanced the barrier properties of flexible packaging materials resulting in an increase in the end user categories. Packaging managers are seeking converters capable of developing new laminate structures that would balance the dual objective of quality and economy in packaging. The requirements of state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and practices are fast gaining importance with the introduction of more stringent quality standards in food grade packaging. In this regard, the flexible packaging division has recently been successfully audited by the AIB(American Institute of Bankers). This is an addition to the BRC (British Retail Consortium / Institute of Packaging, UK) certification obtained earlier. As on the date, Positive Packaging is India’s first and only converter having approval from both these organizations.        

 

The company’s investment in creating the infrastructure with emphasis on quality standards and service has enabled it become a “Perfect Global supplier”. Althogh this high investment cost puts short term margins under pressure, company is optimistic that this will yield positive results in the long run.

 

Commencement of sullies to Nestle’s and Unilever’s plants in various countries, Tesco, UK and others have justified the company’s decision to establish a 100% Export Oriented Unit and branch office in the UK.

 

The 100% Export Orineted Unit a Khopoli commenced commercial production in September, 2004. the formal inauguration in January, 2005 was well attended by customers, suppliers and well wishers. The company’s continued commitment to creation of world-class manufacturing facilities received wide appreciation. The cylinder division at Taloja completed its expansion program during the year.

 

Further expansion of the company’s manufacturing facilities at Khopoli and Taloja are in process. The company’s new cylinder manufacturing facility in Bangalore is at an advanced stage of completion production is expected to commence shortly.

 

The flexible Packaging industry has High potential for growth but margins are expected to remain under pressure in an intense competitive environment.

 

The individual performance of the Divisions can be briefly reviewed as under :

 

Flexible Packaging – Positive Packaging

The flexible Packaging Divisions continued to consolidate in the domestic and international markets. The turnover of the divisions has been Rs 2050 million as compared to Rs 1639 millions during the previous year, a growth of 25%.

 

Rotogravure Printing Cylinders – Acuprint Systems

The division achieved a turnover of Rs 139 million as against Rs 122 million during the previous year an increase of 14%

 

Metallised Film – Positive Packaging Europe

The division achieved a turnover of Rs 70 million, marginally lower than Rs 76 million during the previous year.

 

U K Branch – Positive Packaging Europe

Global consumers of flexible packaging prefer suppliers having good manufacturing facilities in cost competitive countries along with warehousing and technical support facilities closer to their home base. The setting up of the UK branch in January 2004 was intended to tap this potential business from West European customers. The experienced till date indicated that although the potential is immense, the business would develop gradually overtime and accordingly, profits may not accrue in the immediate future. The presence of the branch is essential as it helps continued interaction with customers. The company’s reach is being widened with the establishment of more branches and appointment of selling agents in other countries.
