OPERATIONS

 

During the year the Company has earned Net Profit after Tax of Rs. 278.656 millions as compared to Rs. 334.339 millions in the year 2008-09. The sales including excise duty and other income during the year under review are Rs. 4227.169 millions as compared to Rs. 4051.406 millions in the previous year, an increase of 4.3%. This increase is mainly due to increase in sale of Engineering Plastics both in quantitative & value terms. The production of Polyester Film was higher at 30122 MT as compared to 29534 MT during 2008-09 as a result of continuous process improvements. The capacity utilisation in Polyester Film remained higher than the operating capacity at 111.6%.

 

Sales of Compounded and Unfilled Engineering Plastics increased from 2744 MT to 5833 MT, an increase of 112.6%. Sales (net of excise duty) in value terms increased from Rs. 341.123 millions to Rs. 656.945 millions, an increase of 92.6%. Sales of Polyester Chips has increased both in quantitative and value terms by 11%. Exports accounted for 20.3% of the turnover during the year.

 

Interest and other Financial Expenses reduced significantly during the year due to repayment of term loans and lower utilisation of working capital facilities on account of retention of profits.

 

Net Profit after Tax has reduced on account of following exceptional items viz: (a) Mark – To – Market (MTM) losses of Rs. 40.213 millions towards forward contracts booked to hedge the foreign currency liabilities related to Capital Goods under Polyester Film Expansion Project, (b) increase of Rs. 16.000 millions in managerial remuneration on account of payment of commission on profits earned to Whole Time Director and (c) increase of Rs. 42.00 lacs in Administrative and Other Expenses on account of payment of commission on profits earned to Non- Executive Directors..

 

Company continues to remain focused on development of new products and during the year, certain new value added niche products were developed and commercialised, both in Polyester Film and Engineering Plastics.

 

Environment friendly/Cost reduction initiatives like installation of Bio-mass (Rice Husk) based Thermic Fluid Heater and Glycol Ejectors implemented in later part of the year 2008-09 have given the envisaged results during

the year.

 

Details on operations and a view on the outlook for the current year are provided in the ‘Management Discussion & Analysis Report’ which forms an integral part of this Annual Report.

POLYESTER FILM BUSINESS

 

In this world of fast changing life styles, consumers prefer packaging to be light weight, shatterproof, cost effective, aesthetically appealing, easy to handle and with good protection. The answer to achieving all these properties simultaneously is to use the various options of Oriented Films to make Flexible Packaging Laminates. The Flexible packaging materials have been playing a major role in almost all the industries, especially the food packaging and personal care products, where demand has remained robust despite the global economic downturn. PET Film has traditionally been the largest constituent of the Oriented Film business in India and the second largest in the World.

 

  • PET Film is known for its high tensile strength, chemical & dimensional stability, transparency, gas & aroma barrier, and electrical insulation.
  • PET Film is an excellent material for high quality printing.
  • PET Film has superior thermal resistance and its melting /softening range is much wider than other Films (like BOPP) thereby making PET one of the easiest Films to use in Form Fill and Seal (FFS) Machines / Pouching Machines etc.
  • PET Film owing to its inherent strength and properties, in most packaging applications, is thinner than other Films by approximately 15 – 30%. PET Film is used as a layer in Laminates containing Plain and / or Metalized PET Film to protect food against oxidation and aroma loss so as to achieve long shelf life. This is one of the largest applications of PET Film for all forms of products including Coffee, Tea, Snack Foods, Mouth Freshener, Spices, and Industrial Products etc.

 

BUSINESS PROSPECTS

 

PET Films can be broadly classified into Thin and Thick Films. Thin Films constitutes nearly 70 % of the total PET Film demand. Demand for Thin PET Films is estimated to grow at 6 - 8% per annum globally and 17 – 18% in the domestic market. By far the largest end use for Thin PET Films is flexible packaging which accounts for 65% of total Thin PET Film demand and this is Ester’s primary target market. Flexible packaging is associated with food products, personal & health care, household products, etc., which have remained insulated from recent global economic recessionary trends.

 

The growth in demand for PET Film in India is attributed to the following key drivers:

  • Continued economic growth in India even during a period of recession in developed countries.
  • Growth in demand for convenience foods & personal care products, and pouches driven by demographic and lifestyle changes. Increased investments in supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience retailers driving sales of packaged foods.
  • Government Regulation to improve quality & safety of packaged food products.
  • Greater demand for sophisticated and attractive packaging of products, proliferation of brand development, and niche products demanding high quality printed packaging. Demand for Thin PET Film in India will continue to grow at around 17-18% per annum in view of intrinsic factors like shift from loose packs to packaged unit packs/smaller packs, shift to laminates, increasing consumerism and the deeper penetration of modern retail and wholesale trade.

 

FUTURE PLANS and STRATEGY

 

  • During the year, Ester undertook a project to expand PET Film capacity at the existing location in Khatima in the state of Uttarakhand with a view to leveraging economies of scale as well as ease of implementation and operations. With this expansion, likely to be commissioned by December 2010, company will be able to double its production of PET Film. For this Expansion Project, Ester is adopting cost effective ‘Continuous Polymerization and Direct Casting’ technology. To the best of our knowledge, when this plant is commissioned, it would be the third Direct Casting facility in the world.

 

  • In addition to the PET Film Line, Metalising capacity is also being expanded by 7,200 MTPA. The new Metalizer is likely to be commissioned by October 2010. This would further enhance our competitiveness in providing Metalized PET Films for domestic & export markets.

 

  • The company continues to have signifi cant presence in international markets as a part of its medium to long term strategy. Our strategy here is to promote and develop markets for value added niche products.

 

  • Producers of PET Film in Western Europe, North America & Japan have been adversely impacted due to higher costs of production. They are looking at newer opportunities to shift their production to thicker films for emerging niche applications like fl at panel displays, LCD panels, photovoltaic solar cell systems and other high end packaging applications. This has provided an opportunity to low cost & high productivity PET Film manufacturers in India. Ester is positioning itself to benefit from this development by offering a range of products of PET Films in these markets produced at competitive costs as a result of economies of scale arising from our expansion.

 

  • Trade barriers in form of Anti Dumping & Anti Subsidy duties on Indian PET Film manufacturers in Europe, US, Turkey & Brazil continues. However, this is gradually getting reduced in the revised scenario of lower cost of production in India vis-a-vis the high cost of production in developed economies. Ester has filed for mid-term review of its Anti Dumping duties in Europe and is confident of minimizing such duties by 3rd quarter of Financial Year 2010-11. Similar reviews are being initiated in US & Brazil.

 

  • The companycontinuesinitsendeavortowardsdevelopingnewvalueaddedproducts.Signifi cant efforts have been made in our Research & Development programs with new testing equipments and pilot facilities have been added to facilitate speedy commercialisation of new products. This strategy would contribute towards better prospects and insulate the company from the adverse effects of cyclicality.

 

  • Ester continues its focus on marketing of value added PET Films which insulates Ester from typical cyclicality of commodity PET Film business.

 

Overall the long term prospects of PET Films business are encouraging. Ester will continue to explore various opportunities, in and outside of India, to maximize stakeholder’s returns.

 

ENGINEERING PLASTICS BUSINESS

 

During financial year 2009-10, their Engineering Plastics compounds and blends business grew on the back of strong demand growth registered in the electrical, electronics and automotive sector. In electrical segment, compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) grew at 25% and the automotive sector also registered a growth above 20%. The growth rate in automotive and electrical segment is anticipated to be even higher for 2010 -11. With the Indian government actively promoting the use of CFL’s as part of its energy efficiency policy, growth in CFL’s is expected to be more than 30%. The automotive sector is expected to grow around 25% during financial year 2010 -11. Introduction of new models and design modifications in the current models will increase the consumption of plastics in cars.

 

Ester has successfully expanded its production capacity to 14,400 MT from 4,800 MT. Increased capacity has allowed us to offer a broader portfolio of compounding products. Ester introduced new products such as PC compounds, ABS compounds, PC+ABS Blends, PC+PBT blends along with their regular products like PBT compound, Nylon-6 compounds and Nylon-66 Compounds.

 

Throughout the year supply of basic raw material for compound has remained consistent. Prices also remained steady with some appreciation starting from the end of Q3. The raw material supply situation tightened during Q4 and we expect it to remain tight till Q2 2010 -11. Despite price increase and tightening supplies we managed to do well through our operational excellence programs and initiating step changes in our efficiency enhancement programs.

 

Key drivers for the Indian plastic-compounds market:

  • High growth rates for end-use applications, such as automotive, appliances, electrical & electronics, wires and cables and the overall growth in the telecom industry are all expected drive demand for plastic compounds in India.
  • Currently, per capita usage of plastics is 5.5 kg in India compared with the global average of 12 kg. However, with plastics increasingly replacing traditional materials such as metal and glass in many applications, the Indian plastic-compound business is expected to see significant growth in the years ahead.
  • India is emerging as a low-cost high-quality manufacturing hub. Many multinationals, especially in the automotive and appliances segments, are putting up manufacturing facilities in India. This is expected to drive demand for Engineering Plastics in the future.

 

BUSINESS PROSPECTS

 

Their endeavor is to selectively target India’s growing automobile industry by becoming preferred supplier to automobile OEMs. The key challenge for us is to position ourselves in a quick and cost effective manner as the partner of choice of OEM. Ester is taking several steps to expedite this process with its customers, such as greater promotional activities and focused R & D initiatives.

 

More than 90% of all raw materials in the EP business are imported. There is therefore a lag between raw material prices and the prices of finished goods to the end customers. Ester is addressing the variability in prices through several mechanism, such as long term supply contracts, agreements with end customers on periodic price revisions etc.

 

Going forward, they see their focus on flexible manufacturing processes together with our superior standards on operational excellence and consistent product quality as key differentiators’ vis-à-vis their industry peers.

 

KEY SUCCESS FACTORS

Marketing Initiatives: They continue to witness positive results from our B2B marketing programs aimed at creating market awareness for our EP products. Their metrics driven ROI marketing programs through participation in exhibitions, industry forums, trade shows, R & D demonstrations for new product development programs demonstrates that our strategy is correct and is working in the market.

 

Productivity Improvement: Nearly 80 per cent of costs for engineering plastics compounds go towards raw materials. Hence, it is important for them to continuously improve productivity and reduce waste so as to safeguard margins amid increasing competition. They have initiated several ‘value-chain’ optimization programs to ensure that they keep their eyes on the ball on productivity improvement initiatives.

 

Economies of scale: With more than 75 per cent of the conversion cost (difference between the cost of finished goods and the raw material costs) being fixed in nature, a larger scale of operations would yield economies of scale. Their recent expansion plan and future plans has factored this into their growth strategy which they will continue to exploit in an optimal manner.
