MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Financial and Operational Performance

 

The year 2009 began with a very high degree of uncertainty and volatility in the Indian as well as the global economy. The sentiments, however, started improving in the later part of the year with pick up in domestic demand. Despite all the challenges, recession and downturns in the business all around the world, the Company was able to sustain its business performance and registered positive growth in sales and exceptional improvement in net results. While domestic sales grew by 2.8%, export sales were lower by 8.3%. Of the total sales revenue of the Company for the year, 18.6% is contributed by exports. Efficient cost management at all levels resulted in an impressive growth of 51.5% in profit before depreciation, interest, exceptional items and tax (PBDIT) and 60.2% in net profit after tax (PAT) over the previous year. The overall efficiency has resulted into improvement in PBDIT from 15% to 22.6% and PAT from 7.4% to 11.7% of sales as compared to the previous year. These results in the tough macroeconomic environment reflect the strength of the Company in the market place.

 

The Company has further consolidated its market leadership in the highly competitive textile chemicals and leather dyes sectors. It is constantly improving its market presence in other industry segments it participates in.

 

The Company remains a zero debt company with no long-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings are restricted to the need based working capital requirements. The Company has created a benchmark in efficient management of working capital. The year end ratio of inventory to sales of 8.3%, receivables to sales of 15.7% and net working capital (NWC) to sales of 7.6% is one of the best in the specialty chemical industry. Net cash flow from operating

activities during the year was Rs. 1710.800 Millions. Funds surplus to the operational needs have been prudently invested to earn reasonable returns with a high degree of safety. A sum of Rs. 1212.500 Millions (previous year Rs. 545.900 Millions) stands invested in debt schemes of mutual funds at the end of the year.

 

During the year, all the plants had smooth operations and the capacity utilisation was on need-based requirement. The Company sold its non-core business of flexible laminating adhesives and entered into a business transfer agreement for sale of its diketene and intermediate business. Both these businesses during the year contributed Rs. 856.800 Millions by way of net sales.

 

Achievement of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS–ISO 18001 certification from SQS (Swiss Association for Quality Management System) for the Company’s Management Systems and for Environment Management and Safety in its operations reflects the Company’s continuous commitment towards quality, safety and sustainable environment friendly approach.

The internal audit reports are reviewed at audit committee meetings and appropriate action on the recommendations is initiated by the management.

 

Industry Structure and Development

 

The Indian chemicals and petrochemicals industry is worth about US$ 78 billion. The industry with investments worth US$ 60 billion, contributes 3% to India’s GDP and 14% to total exports, employs around 1 million is the largest in Asia and 12th in the world. Till the recent slowdown, the industry was growing at 6%-10% per year, as against the global average of 3%-4%. The industry exports more than 50% of its production and thus is deeply connected to the global economy. However, India’s share in global exports and imports is less than 2%. The industry had an export growth rate of 27%, which has come down to 16%, as a result of the global economic crisis.

 

Half of the chemical market is currently occupied by basic chemicals such as petrochemicals and fertilizers. The rest comprises evenly of specialty chemicals such as paints, dyestuffs and intermediates and knowledge chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, bio chemicals and agro chemicals. The growth rate of basic chemicals is 7-8% but that of specialty and knowledge chemicals is 13-15% and a great expectation is placed on its future growth.

 

India has achieved considerable progress in the production of basic organic and inorganic chemicals, pesticides, paints, dyestuffs and intermediates, petrochemicals, fine and specialty chemicals and toiletry products. With the slash in tariffs, the Indian chemical industry with well-built systems and segment focused operations is likely to benefit further. It is not only the country’s oldest industry, but contributes to India’s growing economy in a phenomenal way.

 

The industry is highly diversified and serves the basic needs of many different industry verticals like natural gas, water, oil, metals, minerals, air, oil, etc and all these verticals eventually bring into the marketplace an array of products. The companies manufacturing high value chemicals and compliant with industrial quality standards, are

capable of making their mark not just in India but in the overseas markets as well.

 

Indian dyes are in demand world over. Pigments and Dyes are primarily used in paints, inks, textiles, leather, paper, foodstuffs and polymers. The textile industry accounts for the largest consumption of dyestuffs. India has emerged as a global supplier of dyestuffs and dye intermediates, particularly for reactive, acid, vat and direct dyes

approximately 6% of the world production. The total market of paint and dyes is about US$ 1 billion with a growth rate of about 10%.

 

The dyestuff market is highly fragmented with high concentration in Maharashtra and Gujarat. There are about 25 large and medium players, which cover 50% market share, while 2000 other organized players contribute the balance 50%. The per capita consumption of dyestuff is very low in India (400 gms) as compared to the developed countries (15 kgs). The plastics and polymer segment is growing steadily with a very high potential of domestic consumption. It remains one of the fastest growing markets in the recent past. Many overseas plastic processors have started investing in India for exports as well as for domestic consumption. However, the capacities of these plants remain small.

 

The Indian textile industry size is estimated to expand significantly from the present US$ 50 billion and it accounts for around 4% of the Gross Domestic Products (GDP), 14% of Industrial production and over 13% of the country’s total export earnings. The textile industry is capital intensive and in recent years it has invested significantly on capital assets by acquiring sophisticated new machinery. This has gone a long way towards upgrading products to international standards and massive investment is expected further. All this has enabled the industry to entrench itself firmly and make an entry into the society of top fashion, formal and leisurewear garments. India is emerging as a one stop shop for all textiles and clothing requirements. Clariant is a market leader in textile chemicals and has a significant presence in all segments of the industry including technical textiles.

 

World trade in leather is estimated at about US$ 150 billion and India’s share is US$ 3.5 billion despite having the advantage of a large labour force and a wide raw material base. Dwindling exports in the wake of the global demand slump and stiff competition from countries like China and Vietnam have resulted into a fall in leather exports by 17% in dollar terms and 8% in Rupee terms during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 when compared with the same period a year ago and the industry expects that the exports during 2009-10 will show a decline of about 10-15%. Contrary to the dismal show by the Indian leather industry, the Company has done extremely well with a strong growth in exports led by Clariant Group demand. The Company has a wide product range for leather dyeing and finishing chemicals to cater to the market needs for a variety of products and is the market leader in wet end chemicals.

 

The Rs. 160000.000 Millions Indian paper industry is currently investing on capacity expansion, pollution control measures and environmental management plans. The total paper demand in the country according to industry estimates is about 94 lakh tonnes a year with packaging contributing to about 24% and newsprint 20%. Clariant’s paper business offers a wide range of high performance products for improving whiteness, strength, strong and bright shades with excellent printability.

 

The Indian paint industry has seen remarkable changes during the last decade. In this period, almost every major multinational has established or entrenched their presence, incumbents have built on their market position and the industry has become far more sophisticated in terms of the products it manufactures, the way it sells to customers and the range of technologies it uses. Overall paint demand in India has grown 1.5 times the GDP growth, though some segments have done better. The Company has positioned itself as preferred supplier of pigments, additives and intermediates to major paint, coatings and ink manufacturing companies in the country.

 

The personal care sector in India is set for a lot of action by way of expansion in capacity, fast replacement of product portfolio and investment in research and development projects to sustain its growth momentum in the Rs. 95000.000 Millions personal care businesses. Clariant with its strong global presence is looking forward for improving its position in this segment.

 

The Company has diversified product ranges catering to the needs of variety of user industries and these are classified into two broad business segments of Intermediates and Colours and Dyes and Specialty Chemicals. Details on these segments are described in this report under ‘Segment wise performance’.

 

Outlook

 

In spite of deceleration from 9% GDP growth to about 7% GDP growth in 2009-10, India remains the second largest growing economy in the world. The index of industrial production has surged by an incredible 16.8% in December 2009 against a contraction of 0.2% a year ago. For the period April-December 2009, the average industrial growth rate worked out to 8.6%, much better than the growth of 3.6% during the same period in 2008. Based on the growth rate of the broad industry groups, the trend during the current year is encouraging.

 

The Indian chemical industry is on a high growth trajectory and through a series of efforts, expected to achieve USD 100 billion in the upcoming years. The industry today is into manufacturing of a wide range of goods including fine and specialty chemicals, drugs and pharmaceuticals, dyes and pigments, agrochemicals and fertilizers, pesticides, plastics and petrochemicals etc. and its contribution to the Indian manufacturing sector is about 18%. The positive factor for the Indian chemical industry is the demand for its products that is largely driven by the domestic market. Considering the very low per capita consumption ratio, it has great potential for fast growth and with its inherent strengths of low cost and highly qualified workforce, it is expected to play the role of an export base to Europe and Middle East. However, the industry is yet to make its presence felt in a significant way in the international markets and factors like global recession and financial crises had significant impact on the manufacturing and export sector of the industry.

 

Although 2009 has seen enough challenges, recession and downturns, the Company has withstood all such pressures and strongly positioned itself to meet the challenges of the future. While some of the effects of the global economic scenario still persist, 2010 promises to be much better to forge ahead. Considering the strong presence in different market segments, it’s technological ability to provide solutions to user industries, rapid response in adapting to change in fashion and preference of people, global affiliation and brand image of Clariant world-wide, the future outlook of the Company’s business is positive and sustainable growth is expected in coming years.

 

Opportunities and Threats

 

The overall performance of the Indian chemical industry even when the world is reeling under financial and economic recession is satisfactory given the performance in the domestic markets. Global recession is a reminder call for domestic industries to upgrade the quality of products, technical services, cost competitiveness and processing efficiencies, etc. Although small in size, the Indian chemical industry is a net exporter. Per capita consumption in each of its industry segment is very low and is about 1/10th of world average, thus hold strong potential to grow in domestic markets.

 

To counter the negative fallout of the global slowdown on the Indian economy, the Government responded by providing a substantial fiscal expansion in the form of tax relief to boost demand and increased expenditure on public projects. In view of good performance by industries, financial stimulus if rolled back, could affect domestic demand in certain sectors for a temporary period.

 

The Business environment for the chemical industry globally has been changing very fast and if the Indian chemical businesses have to hold against competition they have to change and adopt their strategies, methodology of working and organisational structure. China is becoming the biggest threat to the Indian chemical industry with their excess capacity and controlled exchange rate of Yuan, making Indian products uncompetitive.

The area of challenge and concerns which the Indian chemical industry will need to face are non-tariff barriers, by way of international treaties, which at times appear well and innocuous but have been used against the Indian chemical industry in the past and will have to be reckoned with, as the industry makes inroads into global trade

in chemicals so far dominated by developed nations. A plethora of taxes, levies and duties charged while transacting business within and across states, often exceeds the duty barrier that exporters to the Indian market face. The high cost of internal transactions needs to be appropriately addressed so as to provide Indian manufacturers a level playing field. India still has a problem of infrastructure like insufficient power supply and underdeveloped road network.

 

Highly developed technology, in-depth research capabilities, backward and forward linkages, development of domestic capacity to decrease the dependence on imports are some of the crucial factors that need to be taken into consideration. Nowadays, safety, health and environment protection issues have become the majortalking point in almost all industries and even in the Indian chemical industry too. The Indian chemical manufacturers are addressing the issue on a war-footing.

 

Government’s initiative to promote six Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemical Investment Regions (PCPIR) is hoped to change the fortunes for the Indian Chemical industry. Despite the difficult time, the dyestuff and specialty chemicals industry holds a lot of promise for India. The industry is a potential powerhouse benefiting from comparative low labour costs, an excellent army of technical manpower, capabilities for research and development facilities, a huge and fast developing domestic market and the potential to increase it’s share in global markets.

 

A diversified product range, proactive preparedness in adjusting to demand and supply levels and aggressive customer support services have provided a cushion to the Company to withstand the pressure of global meLimitedown and downturn in the industry. With strong technology support from the parent company, state of art product development facilities, a world class product safety laboratory with excellent product testing facilities and continuous emphasis on cost management, the Company is well prepared to exploit the opportunities both in the domestic and global markets to improve it’s presence. The Company has placed continuous emphasis on cost management.

History:

 

Clariant's presence in India through its affiliates goes back more than five decades. Its journey began in 1947 with the founding of Sandoz Products Limited. The acquisition of the Hoechst specialty chemicals business in 1997 brought Colour-Chem Limited and its subsidiaries Vanavil Dyes and Chemicals Limited and Kundalika Investments Private Limited into its fold. Thereafter, the acquisition of BTP plc in 2000 led to the integration of a fourth company BTP India Private Limited into the group's operations in India.


In 2006, four of the affiliates were integrated into Colour-Chem Limited and the company was subsequently renamed Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited.

 

Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited represents a valuable repository of manufacturing and marketing experience. Its constituents were all well respected companies who played an invaluable role in the development of the textiles, leather, paints, plastics, printing inks and agrochemicals industries in India. Today Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited is - No.1 in pigments, No.1 in textile chemicals and No.1 in leather chemicals

 

 

Profile:

 

Clariant’s Business Unit Additives is a major supplier of products for functional effects in plastics, coatings and printing inks. The non-halogenated flame retardants provide environmentally compatible protection for buildings, electric and electronic equipment as well as textiles and other materials used in aeroplanes, trains, busses and ships. The high quality waxes are used in polishes, protective coatings, plastics and in a range of highly specialized applications like hot melts. They also produce polymer additives like antioxidants, processing/ light stabilizers, and antistatic agents eg. to give plastics flexibility and durability, or to improve the heat, light and weather resistance of coatings.


Decades of experience and know-how have made the products the industry standard for technical performance and quality. This is supported through the global technical service centers.

 

 

PRESS RELEASE:

 

“Sense the Difference in performance, ecology and fashion” - Clariant’s revolutionary new products and systems

 

India International Leather Fair 2011, Chennai

January 31 - February 3, 2011

Hall 2 Stand 3-17-02


Muttenz, December 15, 2010 - Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited will showcase a full range of products at IILF, including its new revolutionary EasyWhite Tan process based on Granofin® Easy F-90. A sustainable tanning process, the organic compound used is metal-, aldehyde- and formaldehyde-free and the system radically simplifies the production of leather by removing three process stages and eliminating the need for added salt.


Clariant’s “Sense the Difference in performance, ecology and fashion” theme also highlights its Autumn-Winter 2011-2012 leather color/texture trends for fashion and footwear and provides a preview of Spring-Summer 2012.

Its natural nappa and superb upholstery collections, produced using specialty retanning and fatliquoring systems, Tergotan® PMB and Tergotan TSP, will attract attention. These intelligent polymer retanning agents deliver even softness, tightness and grain pattern. Tergotan PO-60, a new development from Clariant, is a true retanning and softening polymer that gives superb softness/tightness when used as a replacement for conventional retanning agents and fatliquors.


A full range of articles with a classical vegetable look and feel using the new specialty fatliquors Derminol® DDS and Derminol PUA will be presented. These products offer the tanner opportunities to produce beautiful vegtan type articles with the simplicity and economy of traditional chrome leathers.


New finishing innovations in the NMP-free Aqualen® topcoat range and new finishing techniques for upgrading low grade material using Melio® Aquabase and Melio Ground systems will also feature.


Clariant continues to respond to the demands of the industry for more efficient products. The Aqualen topcoat range meets strict customer requirements without the use of phthalates, alkylphenolethoxylates, and NMP, and with very low VOC levels. Aqualen Top IL and Melio 09-T-42 are brand new developments. Aqualen Top IL provides an easy and effective intermediate lacquer for base coated leathers without the use of solvents. Melio 09-T-42 is an aqueous top coat for high gloss patent leather imitation.


For upgrading inferior material, customers will appreciate the advantages of the upgrading and natural looks obtained with the prebase compound Melio Ground UP, and the development of Melio Aquabase M-90 to cover deep hide defects and is applied with a spatula.
