2009 – Sailing Smoothly in High Volatility

Economy and the Printing Industry

The Global economy has slowly and steadily come out of the recession phase prevalent throughout the year 2008. Major economies including US, Japan, China and India are moving to green zone as reflected by the rising indices and various growth numbers though backed by continuing stimulus packages. EURO Zone is still showing the mixed sentiments. Fear of stimulus withdrawal is still a point of concern for the growing economies.

 

The Global printing ink market of USD 18.5 billion, split evenly between North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

While the North American and European sales have flattened out, the Asia-Pacific region continues to grow at a fast pace of about 8%, and should soon become the largest region in terms of ink consumption, driven by economic growth in China, India and other countries.

 

Printing Ink market domestically continued to grow at about 12%, a market of about Rs. 20 billion saw augmenting its turnover on the back of stable growth and the overall Indian economic stability in its user industries such as FMCG, media, flexible packaging and publishing and with commencement of the utilisation of higher capacities built during the last year by printers on back of newer players entering the Indian market and consumers expecting global quality standards. However, due to the global economic melt-down, the growth trends at the beginning of the year could not be sustained in the second half of the year.

 

Micro Inks position as a market leader has improved, backed by absorption of global technology upon integration with the hubergroup, introducing newer products in the market, giving it an edge over competition. Being a fully backward integrated ink company, it has created for itself a strong platform to perform as mother plant to the rest of the hubergroup worldwide apart from servicing its wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Micro Inks consolidated net revenues stood at Rs. 16,180 million, with 11% growth in Domestic Market and 7% decrease in export markets. Net consolidated Profit for the year was Rs. 968 million up 187% compared to previous year on account of increased profits of MIL by 25% and decreased losses of Hostmann-Steinberg Inc. (HST), USA, by 63%. Hostmann-Steinberg Inc., USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company, witnessed a decrease in sales by 16% in dollar terms to USD 75 million due to restructuring of business. The HST, USA, standalone net loss for the year stood at USD 3.3 million as against USD 8.8 million in the previous year.
