Central Pulp Mills,
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
The Company's Gross Sales during the year was Rs 143.297 millions, the Operating Profit (PBIDT) was Rs. 2657.700 millions and PAT stood at Rs 1064.200 millions as against Rs. 910.300 millions during the previous year, an increase of l7%.These represent the highest Gross Sales, PBIDT and PAT achieved by the Company.
The Company's production increased to 286,019 tonnes (previous year 273,755 tonnes, up 4.5%) and sales stood at 267,081 tonnes as against 265,045 tonnes. Overall, plant capacity utilization was 19% and it is heartening to note that the Packaging Board plant operated at 125 % of its installed capacity. The Company, however, cut back its outsourced volumes due to volatility in the international markets and limited domestic supplies.
Operating Profit (PBIDT) was higher despite increase in raw material cost and price of purchased pulp. Continued spikes in crude oil prices, made several petroleum based chemicals costlier. Lower availability of linkage coal and increase in the price of coal also contributed to higher cost of production. Though the Company was able to contain some of these cost increases due to higher productivity and efficiencies, it was constrained to raise paper prices during the year. PAT was higher by 17%, despite a higher provision for taxes of Rs 420.300 millions (previous period Rs 359.000 millions).
The Indian Paper and Paper Board industry is among the 15 largest in the world by volume. Per capita consumption in the country has increased from 8 Kg to 9.6 Kg over the last 3 years. This, however, is far below the Asian per capita consumption of 35 Kg.
The Company has been following a policy of focusing on value added products, which has paid rich dividends. As a result, it has strong presence in the segments of Copier Paper, Coated Paper and Virgin Fibre based Packaging Boards. These have all shown rapid growth in demand. The Company's wide distribution network along with emphasis on meeting customer expectations has helped it establish a leadership position in the market, despite strong competitive challenges. JK Paper continues to be the highest producer of Copier and Office Paper in the Country with well established Brands like "JK Copier", "JK Easy Copier", "JK Copier Plus", "Sparkle", and "Cedar". During the year it tied up with HP to introduce high performance "Color Lok" papers which gives better printability and saves consumption of ink. The Company has also been targeting niche segments through specialty products like "JK Excel Bond", "JK Ledger", "MICR Cheque papers" etc.
The market for coated paper continues to grow well. Domestic coated paper prices hardened during the year due to rising costs of inputs. "JK Cote", the Company's coated paper continues to attract a wide variety of customers.
The Packaging Boards business achieved highest production volumes with increased sales of Virgin Fiber based Boards. Demand continues to be strong and JK Paper has established itself as a leading player in this highly demanding segment with Brands like "JK Ultima", "JKT uffcote 'V'JK Neo Purefil" etc. The Board machine was rebuilt in March 2011, which added 24,000 TPA of capacity.
Global pulp and paper industry recovered sharply during the year to reach pre-crisis levels. Prices of pulp rose significantly though they are expected to decline over the next 6-9 months. International paper prices also went up during the year.
In 2010-11 the Company took steps to overcome the setback in plantation activities due to outbreak of "gall disease" lastyear.lt increased plantation to cover 6700 Ha. during the year. As a result of plantation activities taken up by the Company, its share of wood sourced from farm forestry in total raw material use has been on the rise.
EXPANSION
During the year the Company placed orders for major plant and machinery for its expansion program at Unit JKPM. The Rs. 165.000 millions Project envisages setting up a 215,000 TPA Pulp Mill, 165,000 TPA Paper machine, 55 MW Power block with all requisite auxiliaries.
The equipment is being sourced from leading international and domestic suppliers and incorporates efficient and contemporary technologies. The plant will deliver not only high- quality end product but will also result in lower cost of operation and have a beneficial impact on the environment. A dedicated team has been put in place for implementing the Project, aided by external technical consultants. Photocopier and Office papers from the new facility will be available for sale towards the later part of FY 2012-13.
The Company is at an advanced stage of achieving financial closure through an appropriate mix of internal accruals, debt and equity.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
AND QUALITY
The Company's commitment and success in delivering high quality products and services to customers has been a major reason for its attaining and retaining a leadership position in the Indian Paper Industry. JK Paper's obsession towards Quality and Customer Satisfaction is reflected in understanding and fulfillment of expectations of the customers, big or small. This in turn has been a key factor in its growth and the advantage that the Company has been able to build over the years in terms of a wide and loyal distribution network.
JK Paper became the first Indian Company to produce and sell Color Lok copier paper in India. This exclusive tie up with HP, helps us in bringing in world class printing paper for the increasingly demanding Indian customers.
The Company continues to conduct regular audit for its quality standards and customer satisfaction through research conducted in-house and also by an independent agency. This helps it to be in constant touch with changing customer preferences and develop its products to stay well ahead of the curve.
AWARDS AND
RECOGNITION
It is a matter of great satisfaction that JK Paper has been conferred "Dun & Bradstreet- Rolta Corporate Award 2010" as the top Indian Company in the Paper Industry.
Unit CPM was awarded "Greentech Environment Gold Award - 2010" and "Greentech Safety Gold Award - 2010" in the Paper Sector from Greentech Foundation, New Delhi. Unit JKPM also received the "Greentech Environment Excellence Award - 2010" in the Silver category. These awards are a recognition of exemplary environmental and safe operation systems being practiced at the Mills, and reflect their commitment towards Environment Protection and Safety. Quality circles at Unit JKPM bagged 6 awards in the Gold category and also a Best Case study presentation Award at the 19th Koraput Chapter Convention. Two quality circles also received recognition in the "Excellent" category at the National Convention on
Quality Circles held at Visakhapatnam between 27th and 29th December 2010. The Industrial Health and Safety Department, Government of Gujarat, also gave "Shram Veer Award" to one of their employees for innovative idea and productivity improvements.
OVERVIEW
Global Economic
Recovery
The global economy began to show signs of recovery by end 2009 overcoming the slowdown that started in late 2008. This recovery gained momentum in 2010 though it was affected to some extent by the austerity measures in Europe following the debt crisis. The recovery process was also uneven with most developed economies growing slowly vis-ŕ-vis emerging market economies.
The calendar year 2011 started well but the rising crude oil prices due to political turmoil in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia have cast its shadow on the strength and pace of global economic recovery. The problems in Japan resulting from the severe earthquake and tsunami have also added to uncertainty about global growth. The fortunes of global paper and board industry are closely linked with the overall economic growth. The industry was adversely affected in 2009 due to economic slowdown with production declining to 370 million tonnes down from 390 million tonnes in 2008. Prices of pulp and paper also mirrored a similar trend during the period.
Last 10-15 years have been witnessing a power shift in global pulp and paper industry with emerging economies growing faster than advanced countries. Low growth in Europe and North America combined with competition from computer and internet based technologies and various cost cutting programs have led to significant slowdown in paper demand from these regions.
The global production of paper and board picked up in 2010 to reach 395 million tonnes driven by strong growth in Asian and Latin American markets especially in China, India and Brazil. There has also been some recovery in demand in advanced economies mainly in packaging board segment.
Impact on Indian Pulp
and Paper Industry
The Indian economy weathered the economic downturn well thanks to stimulus measures aided by robust domestic consumption, particularly in rural areas. Return to the 9% growth trajectory may take some time but India is among the fastest growing economies with growth rate of 8.5% in 2010-11.
The Indian paper industry saw demand revival in recent quarters across all segments though in varying proportions.AII the segments in which the Company operates continue to experience double digit growth rates. Cost optimization measures implemented to weather the downturn have helped the industry to shed some of its flab and become more competitive.
The rising global prices of pulp and paper along with increased domestic demand have helped prices to firm up in the Indian market. Input costs of Coal, Lime and Chemicals, however, continued to rise; these have put pressure on profit margins.
Supply and demand
scenario in Indian Paper and Board Industry
The long term outlook for paper and board Industry remains strong. The demand drivers viz. increased economic activity, rising population and incomes, growing thrust on education and greater use of sophisticated packaging will ensure good growth in future.
With no major capacity additions expected in the next 3 years, some segments might also experience a demand-supply gap. The Industry might also witness announcements of new projects to address this gap in the market. The potential that India offers is also best illustrated by the eagerness of some of the global players to enter the market.
The sluggish demand for paper and board in Europe and North America is another factor that will further force global players to look for growth opportunities in emerging markets. Asia, with its growing market may thus see more foreign firms entering its market and competition is bound to intensify.
MARKET FOR COMPANY'S
PRODUCTS
The Company, over the decades, has been consciously adopting a strategy to continuously move-up the value-chain. This has paid rich dividends and currently we are well placed to take full advantage of growth opportunities that the industry has to offer in the years to come.
JK Paper has been in the forefront of changing the marketing of paper from one of commodity to that of brands. This, along with their obsession for quality has helped us to ensure Customer loyalty and also deliver superior value to the Customers.
Copier and Office
Paper
Industry estimates suggest that the overall Indian market for the Copier Paper has grown by 17% in 2010-11 with premium segment growing at 12% and economy segment growing even faster at 18%.
The future outlook for this sector is bright in view of growth in mobile phone, internet connectivity and government focus on education through "SarvaShiksha Abhiyan" and "Right to Education" Act
Growth of Information Technology and its increasing applications has led to a significant rise in transactions being done through internet and desktop computers. This has resulted in a sharp rise in demand for office papers.
In the coming years, one can visualize fall in cost of mobile connectivity as a result of quantum growth in mobile telephony network in rural India. This in turn will enable the rural population to take advantage of internet applications through hand held devices. All these will encourage rapid growth in Copier Paper.
Despite production capacity constraints we have made focused attempt to increase sale of high value products such as JK Copier vis-a-vis JK Easy Copier so as to enhance the market share in the premium segment of the copy paper. To supplement in-house production
the Company imports Copier Paper in its own brands to meet the rising domestic demand.
The Company is also gearing up to take advantage of the growing demand for paper from digital printing in the coming years
Coated Paper
Domestic Coated Paper prices remained relatively stable during the first half of the year thanks to favorable global pricing situation and low import from China. In addition, the rising share of output in high GSM coated paper segment has also helped increasing their production volume.
The outlook for Coated Paper remains strong with prices expected to remain firm in the near future.
Outsourcing
Outsourcing is now used more as a strategy for supplementing their in-house production so as to satisfy the diverse and changing needs of their Customers, big or small.
Outsourcing helps the Company especially where the Company is unable to offer products from its own production to its Customers and distributors. This is all the more so in view of existing capacity constraints.
Copier Paper segment saw revival of outsourcing by the Company. In Coated Papers we have been able to develop additional suppliers and making an entry in lower GSM segment which is not in their production range.
Product Upgradation:
The Company in its continuous efforts to reach out to new Customers and markets has been
introducing new products or through product extensions on a regular basis.
It has established a tie-up with Hewlett Packard to manufacture and sell Color Lok Papers which give better quality prints even while enhancing printer life and significantly reducing ink consumption. We are one of the few companies around the world who have been licensed to produce this paper and the only Company from Indian industry.
Packaging Board
Packaging boards business achieved highest production volumes during the year. Demand for the Company's brands "JK Tuffcote 'V' JK Ultima" and "JK Purefil" which are well established in the market place continues to be strong. Last year was a year of consolidation where we were able to streamline their operations, achieve production efficiencies and establish best practices.
In February 2011, the Company carried out rebuilding of the board Machine. This has led to a release of an additional capacity of 24000 TPA besides improving the consistency and quality of their products.
The New Year brings new challenges and new resolves. To strengthen their selves to meet these challenges better, we have earmarked 2011 -12 as the 'Year of Service'. The plan for this year is to lock in their Customers through improved service and quality.
Branding
JK brands occupy unique position in the minds of its Customers, which has been possible only by the extensive branding activity undertaken for its targeted market.
A mix of print advertisements, road shows and outdoor media campaigns to communicate introduction of "ColorLok" Papers were used to reach out to the target segments and create better visibility for their brands. Introduction of sophisticated packaging in "JK Copier" and "JK Easy Copier" has also helped in generating better mind share.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Production at 2,86,019 tonnes and sales at 2,67,08 tonnes achieved by the Company during the year are the highest ever for the Company. Operating Profit (PBIDT) went up 8% and PBDT by 12% despite sharp increase in cost of Raw Materials, Pulp, Coal and Chemicals on account of continued focus on cost optimization, better product mix and better efficiency levels. The Net Profit After Tax (PAT) was Rs 1064.200 millions which is 17% more than the previous year. The Company had issued 1.25% Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) and raised USD 5 million in 2006. These FCCB were repaid on due date i.e., March 29,2011 with accumulated premium.
Increased Cash Profit (PBDT) has helped the Company reduce it total debt (net of investments and cash balances) significantly during the year. The current position places the Company ideally to mobilize funds for the expansion project. Due to reduced debt levels, the interest paid on outstanding loans other than the one time premium paid on FCCBs has come down from Rs 484.900 millions to Rs 379.300 millions for the year. softened during mid-year and declined marginally towards the end of the year. This decline was possible due to slackening of demand from China during third and fourth quarter of the year and restart of pulp operation in Chile.
During the year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) took steps for tightening liquidity to control inflation. Various measures taken by RBI have impacted the interest rates across maturity and the base rate of most banks have been revised upwards as a consequence. The Company has repaid some high cost loans and renegotiated some others but the average interest rate for the Company is poised to move upwards.
In line with the corporate policy, hedging of currency exposures is resorted to manage the overall risks and exposures. The Company uses a mix of Swaps, Forwards, and Options to manage risks. As a policy Company does not initiate any covers without a corresponding trade exposure thus ruling out any speculation.
The Company has embarked on an expansion of about Rs 16500.000 millions at Unit JKPM. To partly fund this expansion the Company is issuing Equity Shares by way of Rights besides issuing a new series of FCCBs. The balance of funds is being tied up through Foreign Currency loans and Domestic loans from banks. Together with internal accruals in the book as on date, the Company hopes to mobilize the requisite funds for enabling the expansion.
ENVIRONMENT AND
NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Company does not believe in achieving growth at the expense of the environment. In this regard, the Company has taken necessary steps for ensuring the safety of environment and surrounding communities in all the locations where it operates. The Company tries to protect the interest of all stakeholders while taking key decisions. Both the units of their Company practice high standards of Health, Safety and Environment.
