LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Review of operations:

 

Gross sales for the year ended 31st March, 2010 increased to Rs.26623.300 Millions as compared to Rs.18636.400 Millions in the corresponding 12 months period of 2008-09, registering a growth of about 43%.

 

Polyester chip sales increased substantially during the year from Rs.7844.500 Millions to Rs.13560.400 Millions whereas yarn sales were higher at Rs.11325.500 Millions as compared to Rs.9118.400 Millions in the corresponding 12 months of the previous year. The FOB value of goods exported by the Company during the 12 months period ended 31.03.2010 increased to Rs.1586.200 Millions as compared to Rs.400.000 Millions in the corresponding period of 2008-09.

 

The Earnings before Interest, Depreciation and Tax (EBIDTA) rose by 18.77% to Rs.2388.200 Millions compared to Rs.2010.900 Millions in the previous year. The Profit before Tax also grew by 18.55% to Rs.930.900 Millions in the financial year 2009-10.

 

The Company achieved higher production of chips/polymer melt at 358758 MT during the financial year 2009-10 as compared to 231758 MT in the corresponding period of 2008-09. The increase in chip/polymer production was the main reason for the increase in profits for the year. The increase in output more than off set the reduction in chip margins which followed increased competition from new entrants.

 

With the enhancement in POY/FDY manufacturing capacity, the yarn production during the year, was higher at 127520 MT compared to 94703 MT in the 12 months period of 2008-09. The higher yarn production was the second most important reason for profit increase. During the year the Company increased its emphasis on specialty yarns and broadened the geographical distribution of its products.

 

Fabric production increased from 318.41 lac meters to 352.10 lac meters in the year. The Company increased its presence in the kidswear segment by introducing many new georgette and chiffon varieties for this segment. The Company also increased its sales of embroidered sarees and dress materials and institutional sales.

 

In the last year fabric development has been geared towards jaquard and dobbies. In line with the market the Company has made a shift from traditional dress materials and sarees to shirtings, fabric for garmenters and interlining fabric.

 

The Government of India partially rolled back the stimulus package, by raising the excise duty on polyester from 4% to 8% in July 2009 and increased it by another 2% on polyester and feedstock alike in the Union Budget 2010-11, thus bringing them at a uniform rate of 10%. The higher excise duty will enable the Company to substantially reduce its accumulated cenvat balance and hence improve financial liquidity.

 

The Company has closed down its activity of the finance division during the year and therefore the present business activity falls within a single primary business segment viz. 'Textiles'.

 

Expansion Program:

 

To expand its product portfolio and to maintain its leadership in domestic market, the Company has over a period successfully enhanced its chips and yarn manufacturing capacity with an emphasis on specialty products.

 

In January 2009 after the successful expansion of Continuous Polymerization (CP) capacity to 416,000 TPA the Company successfully added POY and FDY capacity of 47,250 TPA in April 2009. The fruits of this expansion are visible in the results of the year under review. Moreover, the Company has successfully commissioned a project involving further enhancement of polyester chips capacity by 300 tonnes per day (TPD) at its plant at Village Jolwa, Taluka Palsana, Dist. Surat which commenced commercial production during April, 2010. The chips to be produced will be specialty chips that will cater to the needs of not just the textile industry but also the fast growing fi lm and packaging industry.

 

During the year, the Company undertook expansion involving increase in POY capacity by about 144 TPD and

FDY capacity of about 112 TPD at Jolwa. These projects are expected to be commissioned in a phased manner during January-June, 2011. These new plants will markedly increase production of specialty products. To cater to the growing needs of the sized-yarn sector the Company has initiated a draw-warping expansion project which will further enhance draw-warping capacity by 35 TPD. This project is expected to be on-stream by October, 2010.

 

To meet the captive power requirement for these projects, the Company is also putting up a coal based thermal power project of 18 MW at Jolwa which is expected to commence power generation before March, 2011.

 

 

Their expansion projects over the year are aligned with their objective of maintaining above-industry-average growth and will consolidate their position as a global leader in specialized polyester products. These initiatives will improve their economies of scale, their technological capabilities and strengthen their position in a very competitive market.

 

Review of the Economic Scenario:

 

The global economy continues to recover amidst ongoing policy support and the improving financial conditions of consumers and businesses alike. The recovery has been almost as synchronized and unanticipated as was the downward phase of the Great Recession. The recovery process is led by emerging market economies, especially those in Asia. Advanced economies are expected to grow as well though at a much slower rate. According to IMF, the world economy expanded at an annual rate of over 5 per cent during the first quarter of 2010, primarily driven by the growth in Asian economies. World growth is projected at about 4.5% in 2010 and 4.25% in 2011. GDP forecasts for Asia have been revised upward for 2010, from about 7% to 7.5%.

 

The global economy however continues to face several challenges. The likely exit from expansionary monetary and fiscal policies in 2011 may be the biggest risk facing the global recovery. Developed nations are facing high levels of unemployment (around 10% in the US and the Euro area), poor credit growth and lethargic fi nancial markets. Despite signs of renewed activity in manufacturing and signs of improvement in retail sales, the prospects of economic recovery particularly in Europe are clouded by acute fiscal strains and default-risks in some countries.

 

India's recovery after the slow-down is well under way. Growth is projected to recover to 8-9% in the next two years. Rising interest rates, rupee appreciation, high inflation, volatility in capital flows and continued low growth in high income nations could somewhat slow the recovery but are unlikely to derail it. Consumer and business confidence is very strong and are reasonably balanced across the country. The confidence is supported by fast growing disposable income and corporate earnings. Manufacturing is expected to be a major driver of growth over the next few years. Exports have been expanding since October, 2009, a trend that is expected to continue.

 

On the back of 15.1% growth by the manufacturing sector, the Indian economy expanded by 9.0% in the first three months of 2010. In the current fiscal the government projects the economy will grow by 8.5% (vs 7.4% in 2009-10).

 

Inflation in food products, measured by the Wholesale Price Index (WPI), rose to 16.8% in 2009-10 from10% in 2008-09. With the wholesale price-based inflation still above 9.5%, the RBI may further tighten money supply, which will result in higher interest rates. With the unclear prospects for the monsoon, high inflation and the policy responses it may bring, are possibly the biggest hurdles to the economic growth.

 

China’s announcement of a flexible policy for its currency may result in some appreciation against the dollar but may not have much impact on India. Its rapidly increasing wage rate on the other hand is having a positive impact on many Indian manufacturers including PFY manufacturers by improving their relative cost competitiveness.

 

Industry Review:

 

Globally synthetic fibres, led by polyester (polyester staple fibre and polyester filament yarn) have been growing rapidly owing to a growing demand for fiber and the continuing replacement of natural fibres in a world short of agricultural acreage. The proportion of synthetics in total fibre consumption worldwide has risen from 47% to 57% in the last 15 years while cotton has reduced from 42% to 36%. Moreover the percentage of polyester in global synthetics market has gone up from 58% to 79% in this period (source Oerlikon: Fibre Year 2010). In India polyester has been steadily replacing natural fibres as well. However since past government policies have led to a much higher ratio of natural (especially cotton) fibres to synthetics the potential for polyester growth is correspondingly higher. India has overtaken Taiwan and Korea to become the largest producer of polyester yarn

(Including PFY) outside of China.

 

The demand for polyester filament yarn in India grew by around 14% in 2009-10, faster than all other major yarn categories. Exports of PFY based textile products have also shown good growth unlike exports of other textile products. As per CRISIL estimates, the domestic textile market (ready-made garments and home textiles) is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6-7% between FY 2008-09 and FY 2013-14. International experts have estimated a much higher growth rate. Rising income levels and increased growth in rural spending on textile products will translate into growth in domestic demand for fabric. Moreover India’s improved competitive position vis-ŕ-vis China should help in good growth of chips and yarn exports.

 

In the year 2009-10 the growth in the Indian PFY industry was positive, despite a severe shortage of PTA raw material owing to delayed start-up of a large new Indian PTA plant. It is expected that the recent start-up of this plant will result in healthy growth of the industry in the remaining months of the year. The recent successful start-up of the IOC MEG plant will also significantly reduce the import dependency of MEG in India.

 

In the years ahead relatively easier availability of raw materials, growing local and international demand and improved cost competitiveness of Indian manufacturer’s vis-ŕ-vis their global competitors should permit strong growth in the PFY industry.

 

The general weaving/fabric processing segment of the PFY industry suffered production losses due to labour shortage. The market seems to be consolidating from its super fragmented nature. Very small weavers who traditionally were job workers are shutting shop, and medium large scale weavers are augmenting capacity particularly in automatic looms.

 

Opportunities, Strengths and Outlook:

 

When oil prices were at $147 and costs of polyester raw materials were at a peak, and when the economy was in the grip of a severe slowdown, the Company has shown robust profitability reestablishing its credentials as a relatively lowrisk company. During the financial crisis Indian consumers skewed their spending toward value-products like PFY textiles.

 

The growth of the rural market has played a major role in the resilient growth of PFY in good times and bad. It is expected that rural markets will play an increasingly important role in the economy which offers a major opportunity for growth in the polyester industry. The price of cotton has gone up considerably putting it out of reach of many consumers thus improving the competitive positioning of PFY.

 

Per capita consumption of polyester in India is exceedingly low by world standards so there is great scope for local demand growth. Moreover we believe India will play an increasingly important role as an exporter of high quality polyester filament chips and yarn. The Company is well positioned to take advantage of both local and global demand growth.

 

The Company occupies a leadership position in the manufacturer of Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY)-based textiles in India. It has the distinction of being the largest manufacturer of PFY-based fabrics in the country. It is also the leading manufacturer of fully drawn fl at fi lament yarn and textile-grade chips. The Company is also a significant producer of differentiated Partially Oriented Yarn (POY), drawwarped yarn, draw-twisted yarn, draw-textured yarn, sized yarn and twisted yarn. The Company is the second largest specialty yarn maker and the largest specialty chip maker in India.

 

The Company is considered to be a market leader in quality and enjoys a solid reputation with its customers who give it a price-premium across its product range. Its market position gives it the ability to grow fast and profitably. Its specialty range allows it to differentiate itself in the market and will enable it to successfully withstand competitive pressures in times to come. The specialty market is growing and so is the need for quality, providing a great opportunity for the Company’s growth.

 

The Company is expected to increase its exports substantially this financial year. While China is still the largest and most cost-competitive country in PFY-based clothing, the scarcity of labour and high rate of wage growth in China is making the Company relatively more cost competitive in the international markets. The Company is becoming a sizeable exporter of chips and yarn and is sometimes exporting to China, too.

 

Garden is an integrated player in the polyester chain whose products stem from chips to POY to processed yarn, preparatory yarn, to finished, dyed and printed fabric. This integration helps insulate it from the vagaries of the market and gives it leading information on which to base decisions across the chain.

 

The introduction of GST will be beneficial to the Company’s performance as it will create a level playing fi eld vis-a-vis its some of competitors who presently have central sales tax exemptions.

 

The general economic expansion is expected to contribute further to the upbeat trend. The Company plans to exploit this opportunity through a disciplined policy of long-term investment thereby achieving higher returns and enhancing shareholder value. The Company will especially address opportunities to leverage domains of market leadership.

 

Finance and Investment:

 

The Company, during the year, has successfully mobilized additional resources to fund its long-term and project-related financial requirements. The capex program of the Company is being funded by a combination of internal accruals and long-term borrowings from banks. The Company has spent an aggregate amount of Rs.1864.900 Millions on ongoing projects until year-ended 31st March, 2010.

 

The Company availed term loans of Rs. 1955.300 Millions during the year to part-finance the capital expenditure program. The working capital requirements are met through borrowings from a consortium of banks, and placement of Commercial Papers and availing buyers credit from raw material suppliers.

 

The Company repaid long-term loans of Rs.1246.700 Millions (including prepayment of Rs. 14.700 Millions to a foreign bank) to the banks and institutions towards its term loan obligations for the year 2009-10.

 

The Company continues to maintain adequate liquidity to meet unanticipated expenditures and accordingly invests surplus funds available in rated debt mutual funds and fixed deposits of reputed banks. As in the past, the Company enjoyed the confidence of its bankers and has been able to avail various banking facilities at favourable terms. Interest cost has gone up during the year largely on account of additional borrowings for the new projects which commenced during the year. The Company with better working capital management maintained lower interest costs inspite of higher working capital utilization during the year as compared to previous year.

 

Banks have switched over to the system of Base Rate from 1st July, 2010. It is expected that the Base Rate system will enhance transparency in lending rates. The switchover to base rate system will not have major impact on the Company.
