PERFORMANCE:

 

The sales at Rs.2667.827 millions for the year ended 31 December 2011 registered a 6 % growth over the sales of Rs.2513.524 millions for the previous year ended 31 December 2010. However In terms of sales quantity, the tonnage sold during the year ended 31 December 2011 has decreased by 3 % over the previous year.

 

Input costs, showed an unprecedented rise during the year, thereby putting the company’s contribution margins under severe pressure.

 

The combined impact of, the virtually flat sales during the year, significantly higher raw material procurement costs and, a weak economic climate during the year, resulted in a marked decrease in Profit Before Tax.

 

 

 

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS:

 

The Company had reached amicable settlements with its workmen at Pimpri and Ankleshwar in 2010. These wage settlements, which are for a three year period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2012, were negotiated separately for the two sites on the basis of "Region cum Industry" principle.

 

During the year, industrial relations continued to remain cordial.

 

The Board wishes to place on record its appreciation to all employees for their continued contribution to the performance of the Company.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT:

The year saw a certain domestic economic situation develop which adversely influenced the performance of the Indian economy, especially of the manufacturing sector. Whilst high inflation continued to prevail, expensive crude oil, rising raw material prices and restricted credit availability collectively resulted in depressing demand, slowing down Industrial production and prospects of manufacturing growth fading as the year progressed.

On the background of this landscape, the Company's growth prospects were also severely affected and its margins remained under pressure, especially in the second half of the year.. Consequently, its profits and profitability were lower, as compared to the previous year.

The Company however, continues to pay attention to its chosen focus areas of Research and Development, innovation, technical modernization and supply chain optimization in order to improve profitability, enhance competitiveness and innovate its product offerings to customers.

 

SEGMENT WISE PERFORMANCE:

Electrical Insulation Systems:

Their Electrical Insulation Systems (EIS) business, comprising the Business Lines-Primary Insulation and Secondary Insulation, continues to be the mainstay of the Company's business, accounting for 81 % of the total business of the Company.

2011 was a turbulent year for the Indian Economy in general and for the Indian Power Sector in particular. After two consecutive years of 8% plus growth, the GDP growth for the current fiscal is optimistically projected at 6.8%, the lowest in the last three years. The growth index for manufacturing segment is slated to be just about 3.9% against an expansion of more than 7% witnessed during last fiscal. To add to this, RBI's initiatives during 2010 and 2011 to contain inflation by increasing bank rates for a record 13 consecutive times in about 20 months upto October 2011, also adversely affected the growth momentum by tightening money supply, curbing investments and dampening demand.

The power sector witnessed a sharp deceleration in growth during 2011. Almost all major segments like rotating machines, alternators, transformers, winding wires etc. remained subdued and under utilized during the year, particularly so, in the second half of the year. The common observation across various segments clearly indicates a sharp reduction in the electrical equipment enquiries and postponement of capital projects. The market uncertainty was such that a majority of their supply chain partners remained apprehensive building up inventories. Even today, there is a marked uncertainty in the economic environment which continues to cause industry to hold back expansion and growth plans.

The competition, particularly from overseas, on the other hand, continues to be in an aggressive mode focusing its attention on the major equipment manufacturers by offering attractive commercial terms for alternate systems.

On this background, with the demand pull virtually missing, the business of EIS remained under pressure throughout the year. In fact, with demand contraction during the year, the EIS business of the Company went down by a marginal 1.3% in volume, while showing a 7.3% value growth over 2010 achievements. The margins remained under pressure despite two back to back upward price revisions by the Company consequent to rising raw material costs. This pressure was magnified because of a sharp and severe depreciation in the Rupee towards the last quarter of 2011. Inspite of these adverse developments, the Company has maintained market leadership in the EIS segment.

Looking ahead, although the business sentiments, for the time being continue to be depressed, the Company believes that the market will begin to recover slowly but surely. The Government of India's ambitious plans of addition of 100000 MW of power generating capacity during the XII Five Year Plan commencing April reinforces this belief. Accordingly, the Company has already initiated proactive measures to ensure that the increasing and diverse requirements coming from Indian Power sector are met satisfactorily.

Electronic and Engineering Materials:

The business segment primarily includes three major product lines and involves the manufacture of a variety of performance oriented, speciality products and solutions going into diverse electronic, electrical and engineering applications. These are:

Ř       Electronic and Electrical (EL) Compounds

Ř       Speciality Resins

Ř       Construction chemicals

As was seen in case of Electrical Insulations Systems, this business segment too was adversely affected due to high raw material costs, a week rupee and a significant demand slow down, especially in the second half of the year.

 

Within this business segment, the business of Electronic and Electrical Compounds is a major thrust area for the Company and involves manufacturing insulating systems having casting, potting and encapsulating applications with end-use in electronic and electrical components and parts.

Focused efforts targeted at attaining major growth and an improved market position were taken by the management in this product line. These efforts encompassed technical improvements through a systematic scale-up process as well as enhancements in response time for new product and applications development. In addition, certain new products were developed and added in this market which helped expand our market and maintain leadership, particularly in auto electrical sector. The response from the customers to such new products was very encouraging.

The expanded range of EL Compound products under development now include speciality epoxy and polyurethane formulations and blend that can provide a menu of critical features to the products such as strength, flexibility, thermal conductivity, thermal shock and high glass transition temperature. Importantly, in keeping with global environmental concerns, the Company's product development initiatives are also aligned to offer a range of RoHS compliant products and systems to its customers.

In order to address concerns about continuing future availability of key raw materials, efforts are being made to develop synthetic alternatives in place of raw materials of natural origin.

The Company is quite optimistic about the revival of the Indian manufacturing economy and the emerging opportunities and business prospects in this business segment, as a consequence.

 

CURRENT FUTURE AND OUTLOOK:

India Inc. stands precariously balanced at this juncture and while the past two years performance has been much below expectations, the acceleration of growth and progress in the coming years will largely depend on the following macro level economic and socio-economic factors:

Ř       Government's ability to manage and control Country's widening trade and fiscal deficits and curb inflation

Ř       Increased spending on the education sector and allowing greater participation of the private sector in the areas of vocational training and skills development, leading to enhanced employability and help address the problem of talent scarcity

Ř       Timely and well planned enhancements to the country's infrastructure

Ř       Intervention through bold policy reforms by a strong political leadership

Ř       Revival in investment growth

As regards the outlook in the near future, the current situation does not directly indicate a quick economic recovery and certain key economic factors do not point towards an early revival of the markets. Especially for the Company's business, power sector reforms and implementation of new capacities remain solely on paper as of now. Nevertheless, the fundamental strength of the Indian economy and its potential for growth cannot be doubted and provide hope for future business growth.

Under the circumstances, the Company takes a cautious view of the immediate future, but believes that growth opportunities will selectively arise over the next years. Accordingly, it will continue to work on enhancing its competitiveness and responsiveness to the dynamic business environment.

COMPANY PERFORMANCE:

The Company's performance during the year registered a de-growth in profitability as compared to the previous year. Sales at Rs.2667.827 millions during the year ended 31 December 2011 showed a small increase of 6% over the previous year. However, in terms of volume, sales were almost flat as compared to the previous year.

As stated earlier, significant downward pressures on product margins brought about due to very severe increase in procurement costs of a host of key raw materials, coupled with the overall slowing down of the economy, resulted in a decrease in overall contribution margins vis-a vis Year 2010. Despite a number of innovative steps taken by the Company to reduce costs through value engineering, Profit before Tax at Rs.359.410 Millions was lower than the previous year. Profit after Tax at Rs.247.381 Millions was lower than previous year by 24%. Net Cash Flows from operating activities during the year however, at Rs.347.097 Millions were higher as compared to Rs.162.732 Millions, during the previous year mainly as a result of significant and more efficient working capital management.

 

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS:

The Company has instituted a comprehensive system of internal controls aimed at safeguarding its assets from unauthorised use as well as ensuring proper authorisation of financial transactions. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) have been developed, documented and implemented in all the significant operating and financial functions of the Company. Based on a system of checks and balances, these SOPs provide a reasonably sound basis of assurance with regard to propriety in usage, accounting and accounting controls, operations monitoring, management information & reporting as well as statutory and regulatory compliances.

The Board of Directors has appointed an external accounting firm to undertake internal audits within the Company. The internal auditors are empowered to examine and report to the independent Audit Committee upon the adequacy of and compliance with the various procedures, plans, policies and statutory requirements applicable to the Company. The internal auditors are also responsible for assessing and reporting on effectiveness of risk management, internal controls and governance process within the Company.

Also, the internal audit firm draws out an annual audit plan for verification in a manner such that all key and critical areas of business are reviewed at least once in 2 years. This plan is formally approved by the audit committee.

The management duly considers and takes appropriate measures in respect of the recommendations made by the statutory auditors, internal auditors and the independent Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. 

 

TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT:

The Company believes that its leadership position in the electrical insulations industry is an outcome of its long standing reputation, both, in India and overseas, for continued excellence in product quality coupled with technical services of the highest standards.

Such a reputation has been built over many decades of customer satisfaction and the Company strives to maintain it even today through technological superiority, operational excellence and cost effectiveness.

At Ankleshwar, a number of infrastructural modifications and additions have resulted in decongestion and optimisation of the Resin Plant, thereby enhancing production capacity of varnishes and thinners. Support infrastructure such as new access roads to the storage and dispatch areas was also improved significantly during the year.

At Pimpri, steps were initiated to enhance production capacity in order to cater to the market potential for epoxy filled systems. Their plans to build capacity to satisfy the potential from new businesses in the E and EM segment were also finalised.

Besides the aforesaid, the Company undertakes, on an ongoing basis, technical improvements in Plant engineering and manufacturing processes by benchmarking with its overseas affiliates. Technical and Operations related focused groups established under the stewardship of ALTANA/ELANTAS, Germany, devote their efforts exclusively for ensuring optimization of the production methods and processes in terms of cost energy conservation and safety. The Company regularly participates in the deliberations of these focused groups.

The Company thus continuously strives to reduce running costs, lower energy consumption, enhance plant effectiveness, improve EH and S Standards and raise product performance.

The waste treatment plant at Pimpri was shifted during the year to a location adjacent to the production facilities. This was coupled with technological improvements such that the efficiency and treatment capability of the ETP has improved significantly. Significant reduction in energy consumption for the ETP is also expected to take place, as a consequence.

 

QUALITY, ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY:

Quality, Safety and Occupational Health and Environment Stewardship are the core values of the Company, which continue to form the basis for all its decisions and actions.

The Company's accredited Integrated Management System (IMS), which encompasses the management of Quality, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety, was subjected to a surveillance audit by TGV NORD during the year and the IMS certification was successfully renewed.

The Company is fully committed to strengthen the process of Quality, Environment, Occupational Health and Safety Management. It implements reasonable and practicable steps to protect the health and safety of its employees and the community, as well as to ensure that its products and processes do not cause any adverse impact on environment. It believes that sustainable development is possible only through conscious steps taken to reduce energy consumption, adopt eco-friendly processes and avoid wasteful use of scarce natural resources.
