RESULT OF OPERATIONS

 

Sales of the Company registered a growth of 23.90% over the previous financial year at Rs. 1997.080 Millions compared to Rs. 1611.770 Millions in corresponding previous year. Though the operating profit (EBIDT) of the Company grew from Rs.159.543 Millions in previous period to Rs. 193.700 Millions in the year, but due to steep increase in the prices of raw materials especially Agriculture Residues without commensurate increase in selling prices of finished goods coupled with higher Depreciation and Interest, (being in only in second year of operation of WandP Machinery), adversely affected the profitability of the Company during Financial Year 2009-10.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company has managed to survive the recessionary phase and draught like situation during three quarters, but last quarter witnessed increased sale price with cooling off prices of raw materials. Overall The Company has registered an upward trend in its performance over the previous year, which marks a good sign and mainly attributable on account of:

 

a. Increase in the production and attaining economies of scale even though the increase in cost of the raw materials and inputs.

b. Usage of the latest technology for achieving the optimum end product and reduction in cost of production in comparison to increase in cost of inputs.

c. Increase of sale prices of finished goods.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Million business of Ruchira Papers Limited is paper manufacturing. The company was earlier engaged in the

manufacturing of Karft Paper used for corrugation, core pipes, cones etc since 1983. With the setting up of 100 TPD Writing and Printing Paper plant, the company has widened its product base in same segment of Paper in which the company has expertise.

 

The health of Paper industry depends upon many factors like economic growth, literacy rate, advertising, industrial activity, population growth and most important the demand and supply dynamics.

 

The Indian Paper Industry has demonstrated secular general growth and the consistent rise in demand. The per capita consumption of Paper in the India is still as low as 7.2 Kg while South Asia and World Average consumption is at 11 Kg and 53 Kg respectively leaving wide scope of paper in India.

 

With the emphasis of Government of India on education and especially on higher education, which the government has shown by imposing the Higher Education Cess of 1 % during last year besides the normal education cess of 2 % on direct and indirect taxes, the spending on the education will increase substantially during next 3-5 year. The increase in education expenditure will definitely require more Writing and Printing Paper and they anticipate the faster growth rate of Writing and Printing Paper.

 

 As per the study by Indian Paper Manufacturers Association (IPMA), the consumption of paper in India is set

to double form the current 7 million tones per annum in the next eight years.

 

Due to the ecological problems caused by usage of plastic materials, paper is becoming the most favored option for packaging. The growth of the manufacturing sector will also enhance the demand for Kraft paper.

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

 

The Company being located in Himachal Pradesh is presently entitled to 100 % excise duty exemption upto June, 2013 in respect of Kraft Paper and concessional rates of Central Sales tax at 1 % against 2 % in other states. The Company has also set up 100 TPD Writing and Printing Paper unit, which is also entitled for 100 % excise exemption for next 10 years with effect from 30.03.2008 (the date of start of commercial production). The company has also set up Captive Power Cogeneration Plant, which helps the company to get the cheap and uninterrupted power supply. The Company has set up Chemical Recovery System to conserve the water and to control water pollution. Further the location of the factory at the outskirts of Himachal Pradesh helps to get raw material of agro residues from the neighboring agricultural rich states of Haryana and Punjab.

 

Threats: Due to liberalization in paper sector, foreign companies have also been allowed an entry. Thus there could be investments in the paper industry from foreign players.

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

Sales of the Company registered a growth of 23.90% over the previous financial year at Rs. 1997.080 Millions compared to Rs. 1611.770 Millions in corresponding previous year. Though the operating profit (EBIDTA) of the Company grew from Rs.159.543 Millions in previous period to Rs. 193.700 Millions in the year, but due to steep increase in the prices of raw materials especially Agriculture Residues without commensurate increase in selling prices of finished goods coupled with higher Depreciation and Interest, (being the second year of operation of WandP Machinery), adversely affected the profitability of the Company during Financial Year 2009-10.

Opportunities in Writing and Printing Paper Segment

 

The ever–increasing demand for Writing and Printing paper in domestic as well as international markets has thrown up a plethora of opportunities to the Company to diversify into Writing and Printing paper segment. Backed by buoyant economy coupled with the commitment of Government to increase literacy and growing awareness of quality paper among the consumers, this industry is on the threshold of a promising future. By delivering the international quality products and improving the operational efficiency and also by harnessing its inherent strengths, the Company has  diversified  into Writing and Printing paper.


Future Outlook for Paper Industry and Prospects

 

The demand for paper in India is growing at 6-7 per cent per annum, led by the government’s enhanced spending on education. This places India among the fastest growing markets in the world. Developed nations do not expect to grow beyond 2-2.5 per cent in the same time-frame. In fact, a government study has indicated a shortage of paper up to 1 million tones by 2010.There is another reason why the country could see a shortage of paper in the coming years. At present, the total paper capacity in the country is six million tones. While the integrated producers account for about two million tones, the remaining capacity is scattered amongst a large number of stand alone producers. Further, much of the fresh investment in going into writing and paper as this segment of the market is growing at 12-13 per cent per annum. The Company is a profit making unit for several years and is fully confident to maintain the same status coming years.
