LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

Armed with little knowledge and great determination, Champaklal H. Choksey, Chimanlal N. Choksi, Suryakant C. Dani and Arvind R. Vakil get together to manufacture paint in a garage on Foras Road, Bombay. They named their company as 'The Asian Oil and Paint Company'. It was started in the year 1945 and now the subject becomes 10th largest decorative paint company in the world. By the way of producing Decorative Paints and Industrial Coatings, the company pioneered in the segment from inception of its business. Subject operates in five regions across the world viz. South Asia, South East Asia, South Pacific, Middle East and Caribbean Region through the four corporate brands viz. company, Berger International, SCIB Paints and Apco Coatings. Also presents in 22 countries with 27 manufacturing locations, over 2500 SKU's, Integrated SAP, ERP and i2 and SCM solution. Subject mascot, Gattu, the mischievous kid was born in the year 1954. The name was changed to Asian Paints (India) Private Limited in the year 1965.

 

The Company was converted into a public limited company in the year 1973. A major modernisation programme was undertaken to streamline the paint production facilities by improving the layout of machines, addition to balancing equipment and replacement of old machinery during the year 1974 to meet the demand. During the year 1985, The Company had set up a third paint unit at Patancheru, a notified backward area near Hyderabad, for the manufacture of 15,000 MT of paints and enamels and also in the same year entered into a collaboration agreement with Nippon Paints Company Limited, Japan, to obtain technical know-how to manufacture powder coating and coil coatings. Company commissioned a plant for the manufacture of synthetic rubbers lattices with a capacity of 1,200 tonnes per annum in the year of 1987. In the identical year of 1987, the company jointly with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation (TIDCO) promoted a joint sector company under the name of Pentasia Chemicals Limited, (PCL), for the purpose of manufacture 3,000 TPA of pentaerythritol and 1,800 TPA of sodium format.

 

In the year 1990, the company had promoted Asian Paints (South Pacific) Limited, in Fiji and Asian Paints (Tonga) Limited are two joint venture sets up in abroad with the Company supplying the necessary know-how. Both these are the Company's subsidiaries. Apart from this, also the company had formulated two more joint ventures in the same year of 1990 under the names and styles of Asian Paints (Nepal) Private Limited and Asian Paints (S.I.) Limited. The Company acquired 1910000 equity shares of Rs.10 each in the share capital of Pentasia Chemicals Limited from TIDCO in May of the year 1991. As an upshot, PCL became a subsidiary of the company. Manufacturing facilities for the powder coatings with a capacity of 300 MT were installed and commissioned at Kasna plant during 1992-93 and in the year 1993, the company had set up a joint venture unit along with its overseas subsidiaries, in Queens land, Australia for manufacture of paints, enamels and varnishes. Pentasia Chemicals Limited was merged with the company. The assets and liabilities of the erstwhile PCL are vested with the company with effect from 1.10.1994. Asian Paints had sets up a joint venture unit during the year 1995 for the manufacture of paints, enamels and varnishes in the Republic of Mauritius. The joint venture involved a total cost of 18300000 Mauritius Rupees. Out of this 49% financed by the company and the remaining balance from Mauritian parties. A joint venture company namely Asian PPG Industries Private Limited was set up during the year 1996 along with PPG Industries, Inc. of USA to market and/or manufacture automotive paints and certain Industrial products. The Company had introduced three new products, NC range of wood finishes, ACE Exterior Emulsion and Asian wall putty in the year 1998 and also in the same year launched a new marketing thrust with the introduction of a one-stop Colour shop for paints complete with a software for consumers to choose and select their different shade combinations. Launched its first exclusive showroom in Mumbai. In its first-ever acquisition overseas, the company had acquired a 76 % of equity stake in Sri Lanka-based Delmege Forsyth and Company (Paints) Limited during the year 1999. Subject had launched two variants in polyurethane (PU) wood finish under the brand name Opal in the year 2000 and in the same year opened a manufacturing plant in Oman in partnership with a local company. Also the company had acquired the entire paints business of Pacific Paints Company based in Australia in the year 2000 for over of Rs.10.000 Millions. For the festive season in the year 2001, the company had introduced Utsav Enamel. In 2002, APL revamped its international operations and transferred shares in its subsidiaries in Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Island, Vanuata, Australia and the Sultanate of Oman to the Mauritius based subsidiary Asian Paints International.

 

During the same year 2002, the company had acquired controlling stake of 50.1 per cent in Berger International, Singapore, for the consideration of Rs.580.000 Millions. In 2003, Asian Paints, via its Singapore-based subsidiary - Berger International - inks a technology and brand licensing agreement with PT Abadi Coatings Solusi, an Indonesian paint company and also in the year, acquired Taubmans Paints (Fiji) Limited through its subsidiary in Fiji, Asian Paints (South Pacific) Limited, (APSP). Asian Paints amongst the Indian companies in Corporate Governance ranked by The Asset, one of Asia's leading financial magazines in the year 2002.

 

During 2003-04, Pentasia Investments Limited, (wholly owned subsidiary of the company) was merged with the company. In 2004, the company had launched paint solutions for kids. In January of the year 2005, Asian Paints new paint plant at Sriperumbudur, in Tamil Nadu was commenced its production. Berger International made a partnership with Filipino firm Dutch Boy during the year 2005.

 

During the year 2006, the company had commissioned a manufacturing facility for powder coatings at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh. The Company was ranked 24th amongst the top paint companies in the world by Coatings World - Top Companies Report 2006. In September of the year 2007, company tailored its first exclusive industrial coatings manufacturing facility at Taloja in Maharashtra; it covers 12 acres of land and has an installed capacity of 14,000 KL per annum in the first phase. The Company performed 'Bhoomi Pooja' (ground breaking ceremony) at the site of its proposed state-of-the-art paint plant with initial production capacity of 1.5 lakh KL at the Industrial Model Township (IMT), Rohtak of Haryana in June 22nd of the year 2008.

 

Company aims to become one of the top five Decorative coatings companies world-wide by leveraging its expertise in the higher growth emerging markets. Simultaneously, the company intends to build long-term value in the Industrial coatings business through alliances with established global partners.

 

 

 

 

STANDALONE FINANCIALS

Net sales and operating income for the standalone entity increased to Rs. 63222.400 millions from Rs. 51250.800 millions in the previous year – a growth of 23.4%. The operating profit (PBDIT) increased by 6.8%, from Rs. 11537.100 millions to Rs. 12326.600 millions. The profit after tax for the current year is Rs. 7751.500 millions as against Rs. 7745.000 millions in the previous year.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

The global economy staged a remarkable rebound in the last financial year reducing the fears of a double-dip recession that some had forecast in 2009. The recovery was aided by the continuation of stimulus measures adopted during 2008-09 by developed as well as emerging economies including India. Increased liquidity in the developed economies impacted sentiment and boosted consumption as well as investment. Emerging markets neared their pre-recession growth levels on the back of domestic demand and buoyant exports while developed economies began to show pickup in demand.

 

However, globally, the year was also characterized by periods of high uncertainty. The sovereign debt crisis that engulfed Greece and Ireland also threatened a number of other euro economies jeopardizing the stability of global financial markets. Short term policy interventions by the concerned governments did help to avert a crisis situation but a lot still needs to be done for any significant fundamental improvement in the financial conditions of some of these countries. During the second half of the year, mass uprisings in Egypt, Libya and some other MENA countries sent crude prices over the USD 100 per barrel mark. Brent spot, an important indicator for crude went up by 41.7% during the year and 22.1% during the last quarter of FY 2010-11. The environment continues to

remain challenging on this front. India maintained its growth momentum on the foundation of relatively strong fundamentals of the economy. The year saw one of the highest rates of inflation in recent times and RBI increased the repo rates and reverse repo rates from 5% and 3.50% to 6.75% and 5.75% respectively in a bid to curb inflation. However, strong domestic consumption and buoyant exports, enabled GDP to grow by around 8.5% during 2010-11. The rupee also remained range bound against US dollar to the comfort of both the exporters and the importers.

 

PRODUCTS AND MARKETS:

 

The paint industry volume in India has been consistently growing at more than 15% per annum for some years now. The strong growth was supported by a favourable monsoon and good industrial growth especially in the automotive sector. Growth in turnover was significantly higher than the volume growth as large price increases had to be effected during the year.

 

In International Business, political turmoil in Egypt and Bahrain impacted business conditions in these countries during the last quarter of the year. While South Asian markets fared relatively better, the impact of economic slowdown persisted in some of the other international markets where the Company operates.

 

 

DECORATIVE PAINTS:

Decorative paints (including interior and exterior wall finishes, enamels, wood finishes and ancillary products) constitutes around 72% of the paint market in India. 2010-11 was a good year for the paint industry and the Company too did well. Sharp increase in raw material prices was one of the key concerns identified by the Company for FY 2010-11 and as expected, it posed significant challenges throughout the year. The recovery of the global economy leading to a revival of demand especially in countries like India, China and the U.S., coupled with the rise in crude prices and shortage of key raw materials has led to a steady increase in prices across all categories of raw materials. In India, factors like power shortages, increase in labour and transportation cost also contributed to the inflation. The overall impact of inflation during the year was in excess of 13%. This was countered through price increases at regular intervals (five in all totaling over 12% for the year). Fortunately, this substantial increase in prices did not affect demand which continued to be robust. Margins, however, were under severe pressure during the year and continue to be a concern going forward. Net Sales grew ahead of volume sales on account of higher realizations due to a richer product mix as well as price increases. Emulsions have been growing much faster than the other categories of paints. The Company saw success with many premium products like Apex Ultima, Royale, Royale Shyne, Royale Play, Polyurethane wood finishes and water based enamels.

 

After the overwhelming response to the Company’s Signature Store at Mumbai, the Company has decided to invest in another store at Connaught Place, New Delhi which will be opened shortly. The Company continued to expand its dealer network across all parts of the country. The expansion of Colourworld network also continued unabated with more than 18000 of the Company’s dealers being covered currently. Most of the emulsion paint sale is happening through this network. Considerable investments were made in upgrading over 3000 retail outlets with the overall objective of improving the ambience, providing better service and more information to consumers at these outlets.

 

The Company also significantly expanded the chain of stores called ‘Colour Ideas’, where the consumer is provided with an environment wherein he can experience what colour can do to his home. Here he is also provided with Colour Consultancy Services. Consumers have responded very positively to this retail chain and the Company is in the process of expanding it across the country. During the year, the Company launched a number of new products. Water based wood finishes launched in North India would be launched across the country in a phased manner. New textured finishes for the exteriors – Duracast Pebbletex and Crosstex were launched and met with good response from builders/ contractors for large projects.

 

After commissioning of the Rohtak Plant in April 2010, the total installed paints capacity in India stands at close to 6,00,000 KL. The synthetic resins and polymer capacity was also augmented by 50,000 MT in FY 2010-11. In the first year of its operations, Rohtak Plant produced in excess of 80,000 KL of paints. Continuing ahead with its capacity expansion plans, the Company will increase the installed capacity at the Rohtak Plant from 150,000 KL per annum to 200,000 KL per annum by fourth quarter of FY 2011-12. Construction has also commenced at Khandala near Pune (in Maharashtra) for the seventh Decorative Paints plant with an initial capacity of 300,000 KL per annum of paints with an investment of around Rs. 10000.000 millions. The plant will be commissioned sometime around the last quarter of FY 2012-13. The Khandala plant can be expanded to 400,000 KL per annum later. These capacity additions would enable the Company to adequately meet the envisaged demand in the Indian market. The availability of power supply is, however, a matter of concern in Rohtak while in other plants, the reliability of continuous supply can be an issue. The Company is, therefore, forced to rely on self generated power in these locations, which is not cost effective. Construction of the Distribution Centre at Patancheru Plant is also underway and by the second half-year of FY 2011-12, all Plants would have an operating Distribution Centre allowing complete migration to the new Distribution Model which would facilitate higher service levels at lower levels of inventory

 

 

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS:

The financial year 2010-11 began on a challenging note. The International markets where the Company operates in, continued to be impacted by the economic slow down, although the South Asian countries were relatively less impacted. In addition, political turmoil in Egypt and Bahrain has impacted business conditions in these countries in the last quarter of the year. Asian Paints International Limited, the Mauritius based subsidiary of the Company, bought the 80% stake in Samoa Paints Limited held by its subsidiary Taubmans Paints Fiji Limited for a consideration of US$ 0.5 million.

 

The focus in the International operations during the year was on strengthening position in the market place by initiatives to improve customer centricity, expanding the dealer network, improving service levels, introducing new products and installing additional dealer tinting systems. Emphasis was also placed on tighter management of credit risk and improving internal efficiencies in all areas of operations including working capital, fixed assets, overheads and material cost. Sharp focus was accorded to enhance safety standards. Material prices during the year were volatile and saw an inflationary trend due to shortages in critical raw materials and rising prices of crude oil. The impact of inflation was mitigated to some extent by formulation re-engineering, economies of scale in purchasing, inventory build up and reducing losses in manufacturing. The revenue from paint sales of the overseas operations of the group for the year is Rs. 9750.000 millions as compared to Rs. 9790.000 millions during the previous year April 2009 - March 2010. Profit after tax for the overseas operations of the group during the year is Rs. 879.000 millions compared to Rs. 1047.000 millions during the previous year April 2009 - March 2010. The revenue from paint sales of Berger International Limited, a subsidiary listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange has decreased by 16% to S$ 108 million (equivalent to Rs. 3720.000 millions) from S$ 129 million (equivalent to Rs. 4300.000 millions).

 

The group operates in the following geographies:

The profit after tax rose to Rs. 330.300 millions from Rs. 285.800 millions representing a growth of 15.6%. The consolidated sales were Rs. 6377.700 millions and the profit after tax was Rs. 336.200 millions in FY 2010-11. Faaber Paints Private Limited (FPPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of APPG, reported sales of Rs. 232.600 millions in FY 2010-11 as compared to Rs. 150.000 millions in the previous year. Profit after tax declined to Rs. 7.000 millions as compared to Rs. 14.700 millions in the previous year.

 

Major improvements were effected in appearance, quality and durability of products offered to customers during FY 2010-11. Measures adopted to contain costs and expand volume of business paid off and helped APPG achieve its targets in spite of concerns on raw material prices and availability. Competition amongst the coatings suppliers is also giving leveraging power in the hands of the customer forcing prices down. APPG’s strategy of offering better value to its customers by providing superior products and service has enabled it to deliver superior

results. In its maiden foray outside India, APPG has also decided to enter the Sri Lankan Auto Refinish market by setting up its own subsidiary. This wholly owned subsidiary is expected to be operational by July 2011.

 

The licensed capacity of the facility at Sriperumbudur is 10,400 KL per annum; the present installed capacity is 7,500 KL per annum. APPG has decided to further expand the capacity of the plant to 9,140 KL at a cost of approximately Rs. 300.000 millions. The prospects of continuing high price of fuel and uncertain economic conditions have led to doubts about sustainability of the pace of growth that the automotive industry has witnessed in the recent past. However, while there may be a slow down temporarily owing to high base effect, APPG is confident about the long term prospects of the industry and feel that it is in a position to take advantage of the growth in the market.

 

NON AUTO INDUSTRIAL COATINGS

The non auto industrial coatings market is serviced by the Company through its Growth Business Unit (GBU) and a wholly owned subsidiary, Asian Paints Industrial Coatings Limited (APICL). The major product segments are – Protective Coatings General Industrial Coatings Road Marking Coatings Floor Coatings Powder Coatings Demand for industrial products improved in the second half of FY 2010-11 against a modest increase during the first half, peaking towards the end of the fiscal year. The improvement in demand was mainly on account of various projects reaching the stage of painting during the second half of the year. The Company’s strategy of focusing on sales of middle to high end products has resulted in an improvement in the mix of products sold. There has been an increase in the weighted average selling price on account of the improved product mix. The inflationary trend in major raw material prices that had commenced in the last quarter of fiscal year 09-10 continued through the year and prices of most major raw materials increased steeply during the course of the year. This trend was witnessed across almost all major raw materials such as pigments, resins, solvents, oils and monomers. Increased raw material costs combined with resistance from customers to accept the steep increase in prices exerted pressure on margins through the year.

 

The Industrial Paints plant at Taloja completed its fourth year of operations in February 2011. The first long term settlement with the workers’ union was negotiated and signed in January 2011. Though production was affected during the negotiation process, particularly during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, the industrial relations situation has normalized after the settlement and production levels have been restored to expected levels. Production was stepped up at Toll Manufacturers to cover the shortfall in production.

 

ASIAN PAINTS INDUSTRIAL COATINGS LIMITED

Asian Paints Industrial Coatings Limited (APICL), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is engaged in the manufacture and sale of Powder Coatings. There was a modest improvement in demand conditions during the year and the sales performance of APICL during the year reflected this market situation. The two powder coating manufacturing facilities located at Sarigam (Gujarat) and Baddi (Himachal Pradesh) operated satisfactorily to meet market requirements. As in the case of industrial liquid paints, a steep increase in the prices of all critical raw materials such as epoxy and polyester resins and pigments was seen during the year. Resistance from customers to the steep price increases that were asked for resulted in pressure on margins.

 

PARTNERSHIP WITH PPG

The Company has a long standing and successful relationship with PPG Industries Inc. which is based in Pittsburgh, USA. It had formed a Joint Venture (JV), Asian PPG Industries Limited, with PPG in 1997, to cater to the growing requirements of the global automakers entering into the Indian market. APPG is now one of the leading coatings’ suppliers in the Automotive OE sector and is the leader in the Auto Refinish sector. PPG is also present in other industrial businesses in India through its two subsidiaries. In order to further strengthen this relationship, the Company is in the process of forming a second 50:50 Joint Venture with PPG, which will focus on Protective Coatings, Light Industrial Coatings, Industrial Container Coatings and Powder Coatings in the Indian market. This Joint Venture will leverage the significant expertise, market presence and channel access of the Company in the domestic market with the considerable global scale and technology of PPG. The Company will have effective management control of this new JV. APPG, the existing 50:50 JV in the area of transportation coatings, will now additionally cover Marine Coatings, Consumer Packaging Coatings and Other liquid industrial coatings segments. PPG will have effective management control of this JV. Industrial Paints Plant (at Taloja) and APICL’s two powder coating plants at Sarigam and Baddi will continue to be a part of the Company and APICL respectively and will not form a part of the new JV. The JV’s production requirements will continue to be produced by these industrial plants under a tolling arrangement. The formation of JV involves certain statutory and procedural formalities to be complied with. As a first step to the JV formation, a new Company named AP Coatings Limited (100% owned subsidiary of the Company) was formed by the Company. Till the formation of new JV, the Industrial business of the Company as well as the business of APICL will be carried out by AP Coatings Limited. AP Coatings Limited, along with the two companies of PPG in India, will be merged into APPG and subsequently the relevant businesses demerged to form the second 50:50 JV through a composite Scheme of Merger and De-merger as approved by High Courts of respective jurisdictions of all the Companies involved.

 

OTHERS

The Company also produces Phthalic Anhydride and Pentaerythritol in manufacturing facilities located at Ankleshwar (Gujarat) and Cuddalore (Tamil Nadu), respectively. These units which were set up as backward integration initiatives in the late 1980s, primarily cater to in-house demand for these chemicals.

 

During the year FY 2010-11, 69% of Phthalic Anhydride and 54% of Pentaerythritol produced by the Company was transferred for internal consumption. The remaining quantity was sold in the open market. Plant shut downs during the year owing to a planned catalyst change operation and some unanticipated stoppages in plant operations resulted in production of Phthalic Anhydride being lower than last year. The lifting of safe guard duty on imports from several countries also resulted in cheap imported material coming into the country, impacting prices in the local market. Overall, profitability from the Phthalic Anhydride business was affected due to the lower

production and adverse market conditions. The profitability of the Pentaerythritol business was higher compared to previous year. Better sales realization resulted in higher margins from the business.

 

RISK AND OUTLOOK

The overall economic outlook for 2011-12 appears to be positive but challenging. Economic activity is expected to be buoyant in the Indian sub continent driven by good internal as well as export demand, with Indian GDP expected to register a growth of around 8%. Also, with early forecast predicting a normal monsoon in 2011-12, the Company expects the rural economy to perform well and support paint demand in the rural areas. The market for Industrial products is expected to improve on the back of thrust on infrastructure development and industrial growth. However, there are certain risks that can impact the performance of the Company. The turmoil in the Middle East and North African region has already affected global crude supplies and prices. The events in Japan after the tsunami might force a re-look on nuclear energy globally. Amidst widespread concern on nuclear danger, it is expected that fossil fuel consumption will only go up in the near future for lack of other reliable and proven sources. This could have a long term impact on the prices of these commodities globally. Costs of some other key raw materials like Titanium Dioxide are expected to inch up due to their relative shortage, inadequate investment in fresh capacities and buoyant demand conditions. Specific to India, factors like power shortages increase in labour cost and transportation cost could also contribute to inflation. All these factors could put pressure on margins of products of the Company and force price hikes. Such price hikes, if any, could directly have an effect on the demand of the products.

 

Risks of sovereign defaults in the European Union remain and the recovery in rest of the developed world is still quite fragile. Amidst talk of phasing out and withdrawal of stimulus measures, it remains to be seen whether growth can be sustained going forward. The recent unearthing of huge scams and the resulting logjam in government functioning could lead to policy reform taking a backseat thereby affecting the long term growth potential of the country apart from impacting investor sentiments. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced a series of rate hikes in FY 2010-11 and more hikes are expected in FY 2011-12 in a bid to control the spiraling inflation. This can have an adverse impact on demand, particularly in interest rate sensitive sectors like housing and automobiles. Directional movements of currency are hard to predict and volatility in currency movements might have financial implications for the Company. Additionally, adverse impact of the political turmoil in Middle East or any other political, economic or natural crisis where the Company has significant presence can also affect the business performance of the Company.
