MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES, THREATS, RISKS, CONCERNS AND OUTLOOK:-

 

The financial year 2009-2010 started with a bleak mindset on global economy. The year was expected to face the force of the economic crisis across the world. However, the Indian economy displayed a remarkable resilience and has almost bounced back from the after effects of the recent global melt-down.

 

There were visible signs of recovery indicated by the emergence of the manufacturing sector from stagnant or negative growth, the strong rally in equity markets, the huge mobilisation of funds by private corporates from the capital market etc. However, the poor monsoon during 2009-10, after successive good rains in the past seven years, casted a shadow on recovery. As a result the annual inflation climbed to a high of 9.8% in February, 2010.

 

The continued recession in the developed world, for the better part of 2009-10, meant a sluggish export recovery and a slowdown in financial flows into the economy. Yet, over the span of the year, the Indian economy posted a remarkable recovery, not only in terms of overall growth figures but, more importantly, in terms of certain fundamentals, which justify optimism for the Indian economy in the medium to long term.

 

The Company has successfully managed to overcome the effects of the global economic downturn which became evident with its performance during the year. The Company has shown its enormous potential that lies on the horizon. Their focus on business has made them improve quarter by quarter in the financial year 2009-10. On the business front, the Company had delivered a healthy performance by achieving the gross turnover of Rs.11616.300 millions against Rs.10302.400 millions in the previous year. During the financial year 2009-2010, the operating profit of the Company has increased to Rs.1227.600 millions as compared to Rs.826.200 millions in the previous year.

 

Plastic Division

The plastic business has achieved a volume growth of 27% and value growth of 21%. During the Financial Year 2009-10 it has achieved total turnover of Rs.10288.500 millions as compared to Rs.9049.600 millions in the previous year.

 

The Moulded Furniture Business of the company saw a bounce back in terms of top line growth of 30% in revenue terms and 34% in volume terms over the previous financial year with a market share of 39% in the industry comprising of two national players and around 60 regional players spread across the country. The Furniture Business of the Company is enjoying the leading position in the market with a sizeable gap between its closest competitors in this segment.

 

The prominent reason behind the growth witnessed by the Furniture Business is the stability in raw material prices unlike 2008-09 period wherein severe volatility impacted the net realisations. The stability of raw material prices maintained an uninterrupted consumer demand throughout 2009-10 and going forward they see prices remaining stable without much volatility as the global supply situation for polymers primarily used by the Company would be well balanced due to commissioning of new plants in India and overseas. The Furniture Business is gearing up for a 20% growth rate on an year-on-year basis mainly by building up on the range of Seating Solution with introduction of more value added products and pan India penetration by commissioning depots and increasing the service quotient to augment the leadership position further.

 

One sees consistent growth happening in their industry without a break in cycle for the next few years. The challenge, however, would be constant innovations, a well spread out distribution module and the ability to keep the products affordable even during a fluctuating polymer price regime. They feel that with the infrastructure in place and a formidable leadership position attained, the Moulded Furniture Business is poised for a sustainable growth by offering value added products like storage solutions, utility based products to the already penetrated 3 Crore Nilkamal household who are by now well aware of the strengths and value for money proposition of Nilkamal furniture. There is also a growing trend for Hybrid designer chairs for commercial establishments like food courts, malls and offices where vibrant colours and aesthetic looks contribute to the overall ambience which is also a strength of the Company.

 

The Material Handling Business has achieved volume growth of 18% and value growth of 14%. The Company is already a Market leader for it’s One Stop Material Handling Shop, philosophy of all under One Roof, consolidated its position in Plastic Crates, Bins, Pallets, Material Handling Equipments, Vertical Storage Systems and also Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems.

 

Various New products introduced in the Roto Moulded, Vaccum Formed, Blow Moulding, PU Filled Insulated segments have been received well in the market.

 

The Company further consolidated its Business of Marketing of Range of Hospitality products of World Leaders like CAMBRO Manufacturing of USA and TIGRE of Korea by enhancing the Product Range.

 

The Joint-venture with BITO Lagertechnik, Germany for manufacture of metallic storage systems has further strengthened its positioning in the market and continues to receive large projects.

 

The renewed Industrial and Infrastructure Developments on the recovery of World economy, coming out recession, posses tremendous opportunities for Material Handling Business as all such Development now focuses also on efficient methods of material storage and handling.

 

Governments thrust on development of Agriculture and Horticulture Sectors with focus on efficient methods of handling of products, posses an enormous opportunity for the Company.

 

The Implementation of GST regime, would bring enormous opportunities for Material Handling Business by requirements of large, efficient, planned Warehousing for all sectors.

 

The rise in price of crude and its effective rise in price of plastic raw material and uncertainties in availability remain a major concern for the business.
