Management Discussion and Analysis

 

India’s growth story continues. Building on the foundation of a consistent GDP growth rate over the years, the country despite facing high inflation remains one of the most attractive destinations for investors across the globe.

 

For SRF, 2010-11 was an eventful year with the company reaping benefits from newly commissioned units and from robust demand, especially for packaging films.

 

Highlights of SRF’s financial performance:

 

Net sales from operations up by 36.91 per cent from Rs.21810.800 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.29860.600 millions in 2010-11

Earnings per share up by 56.23 per cent from Rs.51.14 in 2009-10 to Rs.79.90 per share in 2010-11

 

Businesses

 

SRF has a portfolio of established businesses in industrial intermediates. It classifies its main businesses as: Technical Textiles Business (TTB), Chemicals and Polymers Business (CPB) and Packaging Films Business (PFB).

 

Technical Textiles Business

 

Technical Textiles Business (TTB) continues to be SRF’s largest business segment, contributing over 47 per cent to the total sales of the Company. During 2010-11, sales of the business have grown from Rs.11996.100 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.14452.900 millions.

 

Tyre Cord Reinforcement

 

SRF manufactures a basket of reinforcement fabrics for tyres. Its main product Nylon Tyrecord Fabric (NTCF) is used in bias tyres of all categories from tyres for Buses and Trucks to tyres for cycles. Having set up India’s only polyester industrial yarn plant in 2009-10, SRF is poised to serve the growing segment of Polyester Tyrecord Fabric (PTCF) used in the reinforcement of radial tyres for Passenger Car and Light commercial Vehicles.

 

SRF is the market leader in NTCF and is now working closely with customers to develop new fabric styles, including unique deniers. These developments would result in better usage of the assets.

 

Having been a market leader in NTCF segment for decades in the country, SRF would now focus on scaling up its PTCF business. SRF is making progress in getting approvals from all the key tyre companies including Global tyre majors. This would provide the platform for SRF to grow into a significant global player in the ‘radial tyre’ segment of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in the coming years through appropriate and timely capacity enhancement.

 

The Thailand subsidiary continues with its stable performance and is generating positive cash flows.

 

Belting Fabric

 

Belting fabric, which is used as reinforcement material for conveyor belts has been witnessing a stable demand. Over the past five years, volume in this segment too has increased at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 11 per cent. While SRF has a dominant market share of 60 per cent in the domestic market, it also has a significant global presence making it the world’s second largest manufacturer of belting fabrics.

 

SRF’s South African subsidiary has posted a robust performance and is now poised to enter Latin American markets and may consider capacity enhancement to increase its level of business.

 

Coated and Laminated Fabrics

 

Coated fabrics are used in a wide range of applications including protective covers, dynamic tarpaulins, static covers, auto-canopies and awnings.

 

As reported in the 2009-10 annual report, SRF has made an entry into the Laminated fabrics segment by commencing commercial production in Q4 2009-10. This product has a high growth potential with applications in display solutions (signages) for the advertising industry and covering solutions for agriculture and industrial application. Front lit and Back lit fabrics have been well accepted in the market and efforts are on to widen the product range to include static cover applications as well. It is expected that the plant would reach its peak capacity during the course of the forthcoming year and this segment would post better results.

 

The state-of-the-art project to produce 170 lakh square metre per annum of coated fabric through a new coating line at SRF’s existing plant location in Gummidipoondi, with a total investment of approximately Rs.1430.000 Millions, is progressing as per schedule and commercial production is expected to start in the second quarter of 2011- 12. The new facility will offer a wide range of products, including lacquered tarpaulins, fabrics for tensile structures, awnings, auto-canopies, hangar covers etc. In addition, Poly Urethane (PU) Coated Fabrics for several applications will also be introduced.

 

Industrial Yarn Business (IYB)

 

With the commissioning of the polyester industrial yarn project, SRF is able to offer a basket of Industrial yarns (nylon and polyester) for conveyor belts, transmission belts, hoses, ropes, geo-textile applications, fishing nets, stitching threads etc. SRF continues to enjoy a significant market share in the critical segments of the industry.

 

Outlook

 

The NTCF segment of Technical Textiles Business, the largest business of SRF, mainly caters to the bus and truck tyre segment, which accounts for nearly 60 per cent of SRF’s NTCF sales. The current radialisation in this segment is 15 per cent. The investments in radial capacities which were announced by tyre companies some time back, are fructifying. Post this development, it is estimated that radialisation would touch a level of around 30 per cent by 2013-14 and 50 per cent by 2017-18. It is projected to stabilse thereafter, as has been observed in other developing economies of the world.

 

India is the second largest two-wheeler producer in the world after China. This segment is growing at around 15 per cent Compounded Annual Rate of Growth (CARG). The share of this segment in NTCF consumption is currently 12 per cent and is projected to reach 30 per cent by 2019-20.

 

With infrastructure and mining sectors expected to grow substantially in the coming years, ‘Off the Road’ (OTR) tyres, which are already witnessing a high growth are expected to grow in double digits on a sustainable basis for many years. These consume large amount of NTCF thus ensuring a reasonable growth rate. It is, therefore, expected that in absolute quantity terms, the demand for Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric would grow or remain flat over the next five years, though the application portfolio would show a shift from Buses and Trucks to two-wheelers and ‘Off the Road’ (OTR) Tyres.

 

The passenger car (PC) tyre radialisation in India has reached a mature level now (over 90 per cent), which predominantly uses Polyester Tyre Cord Fabric as carcass for reinforcement. The car industry is expected to grow substantially in coming years and, therefore, offers an opportunity to SRF to provide PTCF fabrics for radial tyres.

 

Currently, SRF is the only company in India to produce Polyester Tyre cord fabric and is well positioned to benefit from the opportunity. Leveraging its relationship with the global majors on account of its Nylon business, it expects to complete approval of its polyester fabrics for worldwide usage in the coming years, giving it a growth platform for radial tyre re-inforcements globally.

 

In Belting fabrics, given the expectation of high growth in the domestic mining industry and infrastructure, the outlook is positive in India. This augurs well for SRF, which has over 60 per cent share of this business in the domestic market. In addition, with the demand for commodities continuing to grow at a high rate globally, mining is expected to be a key driver of economies and this would offer opportunities for global growth in this sector. Coated fabrics, which was a small business segment so far for TTB, through the investments made and being planned, is expected to grow substantially over the years to become the second largest segment in SRF’s Technical Textiles Business. With changing lifestyles, urbanisation, and massive investments in infrastructure, it is expected that products such as signages, awnings and hangar covers would continue to see a double digit growth. Similar growth is expected in the high-end products with the increasing usage of fabric tensile structures for stadiums, homes and exhibition centres. SRF is one of the first large sector companies to foray into the high tensile structure with fabric segments in a significant way and is soon expected to establish a leadership position. With its state-of-the-art facility, it would also have the option of considering exports, in addition to servicing the domestic markets.

**** In the matter of acquisition of the Tyrecord Division at Malanpur from Ceat Limited the Collector of Stamps, Bhind (Madhya Pradesh) has by his order dated 07.11.2001 assessed the value of the subject matter of the Deed of Conveyance dated 13.06.1996 at Rs.3030.000 Millions and levied a stamp duty of Rs.237.250 Millions and imposed a penalty of Rs.50.905 Millions. The said demand was challenged before the High Court of Madhya Pradesh Bench at Gwalior. The High Court accepted the case of the Company that the subject matter of the Deed of Conveyance dated 13.06.1996 is only the superstructures valued at Rs.277.618 Millions and not the entire undertaking valued at Rs.3030.000 Millions as claimed by the State. Consequently, the High Court of Madhya Pradesh quashed the order and demands issued by the Collector of Stamps, Bhind (Madhya Pradesh) and allowed the writ petition by an order dated 29th November 2004. Against the said order, the State of Madhya Pradesh preferred a Special Leave Petition before the Hon’ble Supreme Court which the State of Madhya Pradesh has withdrawn to enable it to approach the Hon’ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Gwalior in view of the change in law in the State of Madhya Pradesh relating to Letters Patent Appeal.

 

@ As per Business Transfer Agreement with KAMA Holdings Limited, the liabilities of Rs.179.381 Millions (Previous Year - Rs.181.321 Millions) and Rs.3.800 Millions (Previous Year - Rs.2.810 Millions) respectively towards Excise Duty and Sales tax are covered under Representations and Warranties.

 

All the above matters are subject to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the management, the legal proceedings, when ultimately concluded, will not have a material effect on the results of the operations or financial position of the Company.

 

b. Liability on account of Bank Guarantees Rs.150.490 Millions (Previous Year – Rs.109.978 Millions)

 

c. The Company has been served with show cause notices regarding certain transactions as to why additional customs / excise duty amounting to Rs.76.04 Millions (Previous year - Rs.41.629 Millions) should not be levied. The Company has been advised that the contention of the department is not tenable and hence the show cause notice may not be sustainable.

24 September 2011

New Delhi, September 25 2011 (PTI) -- Leading technical textiles-maker SRF aims to become a USD 1 billion by 2013 on the back of robust growth in its business and investments.

The company has embarked upon new projects involving a total investment of around Rs15000.000 Millions in the last one year.

The ongoing investment plans also include setting up of two overseas plants in South Africa and Thailand.

"I believe these investments, along with what has already been invested in the technical textiles business (TTB), will help propel us past the USD 1 billion number very soon," Subject MD Ashish Bharat Ram said in the company's house journal.

A company official later told PTI that a size of USD 1 billion would be attained by 2013.

SRF Limited  is a USD 761 million company in terms of revenue.

Ram said the focus of the company would be on ramping up these investments so that the company could get adequate returns.

In the last couple of years, the company's businesses have performed well, especially the packaging films and the chemicals business.

"As a company, we continue to invest and grow our businesses. Our committed capex is now close to Rs14000.000 millions," he said.

In the last financial year, SRF recorded its highest-ever consolidated net profit after tax of Rs4840.000 millions, up from Rs3240.00 millions in the previous fiscal. PTI RR BJ MM ARV ARV 09251453

SRF plans S. Africa BOPP film facility

GURGAON, INDIA -- SRF Limited  is setting up its second overseas packaging film plant, in South Africa.

The Gurgaon-based company plans to make biaxially oriented polypropylene film at a 20-acre site in Durban. The company is in the final stages of acquiring the property.

SRF is investing about $70 million in the 66 million-pound-per-year plant, according to Prashant Mehra, vice president of marketing and strategic sourcing. The company plans to start production in the second quarter of 2013.

SRF believes the South African market offers opportunities for growth, in part because local customers currently depend on imported film.

"We find a decent BOPP market in South Africa, " Mehra said. He added that the country is known as the gateway to the South American market, as well as the southern African market.

The new unit will mark SRF's entry into BOPP film. The company currently has two plants in India, in Indore and Kashipur, which together have annual capacity for 126 million pounds of PET film.

SRF also has plans to set up a PET film plant in Bangladesh.

Mehra said SRF is open to the idea of making BOPP film in India, but the firm does not have a time line for investment there.

"We know the packaging market is growing rapidly in India and offers growth prospects," Mehra said.

Pacific Plastics sees pickup in electronics
