LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Review of operations:

 

With  the Indian economy coming out of the recessionary phase  the  Company has  shown  a  significant  improvement  in  its  performance.  Sales have increased from Rs. 3690.000 Millions to Rs. 3940.000 Millions. The Company has been able to bring about considerable improvement in operational efficiencies. It has been able to change the product mix and increase the demand for its high value products.

 

As a result of the measures taken by the Company the PBIDT has increased from Rs. 198.800 Millions in 2008-09 to Rs. 281.400 Millions in 2009-10, an increase of 42%. With the improvement in the overall financial position  it has  been able to reduce the total loan funds from Rs. 604.100 Millions to  Rs. 540.800  Millions. The reduction in borrowings has resulted in interest costs coming down from Rs. 80.600 Millions to Rs. 76.000 Millions.

 

The improvement in operating margins and reduction in finance costs has resulted in increase in Profit before Tax from Rs. 63.400 Millions to Rs. 151.200 Millions, an increase of 138%.

 

Tinting systems:

 

The Company continued with its policy of installation of tinting systems in various retail outlets across the country with a view to increase the demand for its high value products, especially water based products.

 

ISO Certifications:

 

All the three plants of the Company at Howrah, Nasik and Sikandrabad are ISO 9000 accredited and these accreditations have been renewed in the year .

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industrial Structure and Development:

 

The Indian economy has shown a fast recovery from the recessionary phase. The stimulus package given by the  Government  has  considerably  helped industry to reduce the impact of the recession. With the economy coming back to track the GDP growth has been about 7.40% in 2009-10. There has been pick up of demand in both the Decorative and Industrial segments. However the high inflation is a matter of concern. From the beginning of the  fourth  quarter there has also been an increase in  the  raw  material prices.

 

With real estate sector showing distinct signs of revival there has been increase in demand for decorative paints. On the industrial side the auto sector has done extremely well which has driven the demand for industrial paints.

 

The Company has achieved reasonable growth in both the Decorative and Industrial segments. Since the rate of excise duty has reduced and also in view of the fact that in the latter half of 2008-09 there were  several price  reductions, the sales volume increase in 2009-10 is much  higher  as compared to the sales value increase.

 

Outlook:

 

The Indian economy is expected to grow at about 8-8.5% in 2010-11.  However the growth could be impacted by the global scenario. The Government has started a partial phase out of the stimulus packages and if any further steps are taken for phasing out of stimulus package it may have an impact on the overall growth scenario. The Company's endeavour will be to tap the market potential and increase its market share both in the decorative as well as the industrial segment.

SHALIMAR PAINTS PLANS TO RAMP UP CAPACITY

 

July 27, 2007  Shalimar Paints, which is the country’s third-largest protective coatings supplier, has firmed up plans to ramp up capacity. For doing so, the company is considering both organic and inorganic routes and a decision is expected within six months. “We will either set up a greedfield plant in south India or will acquire a company based in that region. We have already identified three paint companies as possible targets. A final decision will be taken by the board within the next six months,” Sandeep Sarda, executive director and CEO of Shalimar Paints, told newsmen on the sidelines of the company’s 105th AGM on Thursday. At present, the annual capacity of Shalimar Paints is 43,000 tonne. It has three plants located in Sikandrabad, Nashik and Howrah. The company has undertaken a capacity expansion exercise at its existing facilities by at least 25%, Mr. Sarda added. Value wise, the national paints market is at Rs 110000.000 Millions. Out of this, the decorative paints market is Rs 77000.000 Millions while the balance Rs 34000.000 Millions is in the industrial paints market. Shalimar Paints enjoys a 4% market share in both categories. The company is also talking to global technology leaders to ink a technology tie-up with them. This apart, the company has plans to introduce water-based eco-friendly paints and new generation wood finish and timber treatments to shore up revenues. The company has also laid special emphasis on sale of high-value products to improve operative margins. Incidentally, the company’s borrowing costs have increased due to hardening of interests rates – both on rupee borrowings and on foreign currency loans and also on account of increased utilization of working capital limits. The interest costs have increased from Rs. 29.200 Millions to Rs. 5.34 in 2006-07. The Company announced its QI results on Thursday. The company posted a net sale of Rs. 695.900 Millions QI of FY08 against Rs. 612.500 Millions in QI of FY07. It clocked a net profit of Rs. 13.300 Millions in the first quarter of this fiscal against Rs. 4.700 Millions in the corresponding period of the previous year.
