FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:

 

The Company reported another strong performance this year as it extended its presence into value-added business verticals and strengthened its market position in existing businesses - delivering superior value to its stakeholders.

 

Gross turnover grew 29% from Rs.21035.600 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.27187.400 millions in 2010-11, due to a significant increase in existing business volumes. While all business segments contributed to the Company’s growth, the key growth drivers were monolithic construction and civil infrastructure.

 

The EBIDTA grew 37% from Rs.4768.300 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.6547.600 millions in 2010-11, facilitated by growing sales volumes, increased project delivery and a thrust on value-added business segments.

 

The Company registered a 31% growth in profit after tax to Rs.3575.600 millions in 2010-11 against Rs.2737.000 millions in 2009-10. Cash plough back into the business grew 33% from Rs.4255.100 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.5679.300 millions in 2010-11 – providing an adequate cushion for funding initiatives to capitalised on emerging growth opportunities. The earning per share stood at Rs.13.19 (basic) and Rs.13.19 (diluted) in 2010-11.

 

Business review and divisional performance

 

The Company registered an overall improved performance in 2010-11, where all business verticals and sub-segments grew at arobust pace. A detailed discussion of the Company’s operations is given elsewhere in this annual report under ‘Management discussion and analysis report.’

 

A) Plastics division

 

Plastics division, the critical growth driver of the Company grew at 31% from Rs.16669.300 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.2184.300 millions in 2010-11, strengthening its significance for the Company - it accounted for 83.35% of the Company’s revenues in 2010-11 against 82.91% in 2009-10. It also vindicated the Company’s philosophy of creating products and solutions around areas that impact the essentials for the common man, and those that are high on the government’s priority list.

 

The monolithic construction segment reported a massive increase for the third successive year, emerging as the flagship business vertical in the plastics division. Other significant contributors included prefabs, water storage solutions and custom moulded products (including SMC products). The Company also introduced novel products and solutions which strengthened the ‘Sintex’ brand recall and grew market share in key business verticals. In 2010-11, the Company established a strong presence in creating water distribution and sewerage collection infrastructure.

 

Monolithic construction: This business registered a stellar performance – larger order execution and increased business volumes, enlarging the already huge order book. The Company also extended its presence in a larger number of states for providing low-cost housing solution through this technology – opening huge opportunity windows over the coming years. More importantly, the Company received large business from other segments, namely the security forces and police departments.

 

Prefabs: The Company grew this business vertical by tapping into opportunity pockets from the health and education segments which are high on government priority, for which sizeable funds were allocated. The Company’s products received numerous approvals from different states in 2010-11, expanding business opportunities in coming years. The Company also created prefab structures for the defence forces across diverse geographies.

 

Building products: The Company focused its energies on strengthening its presence in plastic doors – aggressive marketing through unique schemes and promotional programmes with satisfying results. The Company also launched sandwich panels specially designed for roofing application, interior partitions, and high-altitude structures which were well received. The Company marketed sizeable volumes of sandwich panels to successfully set-up warehouses across diverse Indian terrains – showcasing product suitability for cold chain applications, high on government priority.

 

Water and liquid storage: Water tanks, the Company’s flagship brand, maintained its growth and expanded its presence across geographies with greater reach in rural and semi-urban markets, maintaining a dominant position. The Company introduced a number of new sub-brands, segregating the water tank market into smaller segments – enabling it to cater to a wider customer range and facilitate increased penetration. The Company re-launched its underground tank range which was successfully installed in a number of locations.

 

Sub-ground structures: The Company made significant progress in this business vertical which comprised manhole structures, covers and packaged water treatment solutions – these products received approvals from a number of state government authorities and private clients, generating sizeable revenue for the Company in 2010-11. This segment is expected to register a robust growth over the coming years largely due to the increased government thrust on pollution management, consequent to growing urbanisation.

 

Custom moulded products: This business segment registered a significant growth largely due to product customisation to suit niche applications. Besides, the Company successfully developed numerous products for diverse sectors, catering to both global and domestic customers. Some products were under advanced stages of approval which should open new growth opportunities.

 

In the energy segment, the Company built upon its long and healthy business relationship with the electrical sector for marketing its enclosures with a special focus on distribution and feeder-pillar boxes to capitalise on opportunities emerging from the modernisation of the T and D segment of the energy value chain.

 

The Company received business from leading OEM namely, John Deere, M and M, Cummins and BEL among others, for specialised and customised products. Besides, a number of products were also approved by leading Indian and multinational brands, which is expected to yield sizeable revenues over the coming years.

 

B) Textiles division

 

The textile division grew by a significant 27% on the back of robust demand from international clients. The domestic business also registered a sizeable increase in business volumes. The Company strengthened its position in women’s wear and home furnishing segments through a wider product basket, generating increased business volumes. During the year, the Company added a number of renowned fashion labels to its client list, opening new opportunity windows. The Company created a robust retail network for marketing ready-to-stitch fabric, primarily catering to rural and semi-urban markets. The Company is working towards strengthening its infrastructure through sophisticated equipment which will improve product quality and machine productivity to capitalise on growing opportunities.

 

Subsidiaries

 

During the year, M/s. Bright Auto Plast Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary was converted into a Public Limited Company with a new name - M/s. Bright Auto Plast Limited, and Sintex Oil and Gas Limited ceased to be the Company’s subsidiary.

 

Performance of subsidiaries

 

The subsidiaries registered a robust performance – revenue and profit after tax grew 46% and 85% respectively. More importantly, their contribution to the consolidated revenue increased from Rs.12710.900 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.18591.800 millions in 2010-11; the contribution to the bottomline strengthened from 4.3% in 2009-10 to 5.5% in 2010-11.

 

1) Zep Infratech Limited (Formerly known as Zeppelin Mobile Systems India Ltd.)

 

The Company shifted its focus from being just a telecom infra Company to a holistic infrastructure Company, due to a melt down in the telecom sector. The Company plans to leverage its existing capability and competence to take advantage of the huge potential in the infrastructure sector.

 

The new business focus areas would be – infrastructure/civil projects, telecom products and services, prefabs made of PUF panels, PEB structures and cold chain management.

 

Cold chain management will be a huge opportunity for the Company, as it is becoming a matter of national interest with almost 42% of agricultural production in India being perishable items. The government also laid thrust on developing new cold chains by providing full exemption on excise duties.

 

2) Bright AutoPlast Limited

 

The Company performed exceptionally well – higher volumes, new businesses, new customers and new capacities – resulted in a 44% topline growth and an improvement in margins in 2010-11 over the previous year.

 

Their business with Schneider performed extremely well. This resulted in other electric companies showing serious intent in partnering with them – primarily customers of Nief who also have manufacturing bases in India. In the automotive segment, volumes from existing clients increased and new customers opened multiple growth opportunities.

 

They created a new unit – Chennai 3 – dedicated to electrical customers which commenced operations in April 2011. This allowed them to grow their client base in this vertical. Additionally, they strategised in setting up greenfield facilities proximate to automotive hubs to capitalise on the huge demand from the automotive segment. They are also looking to enter the commercial vehicle segment – multiplying their growth opportunities.

 

3) Wausaukee Composites Inc.

 

The Company bought out their partner’s stake in Wausaukee, making it a 100% subsidiary of Sintex. This was necessary for their accelerated growth in the US. What they also need to remind shareholders is that for Wausaukee, there were issues related to the wind energy business, but otherwise Wausaukee doubled in size, post their acquisition. The returns were also significant.

 

In 2010-11, they started prototyping products for a number of new customers, volumes are expected to flow in the current year. The Company is also focused on expanding its manufacturing footprint in the US through inorganic initiatives, as they realise that the custom moulding business is region and customer-centric – you need to be at the right place with the right client.

 

4) Nief Plastics SAS

 

Nief performed very well this year with a topline growth of 23-25% and margin growth from 11 to 13%.

 

At Nief, contributions from the automotive segment that was 65% at the time of acquisition was 45% last year and this year it is 40%. This year 40% of Nief’s business was from auto, 30% from electrical, 20% from aerospace and medical and 10% from others.

Nief’s acquisition of Simop (moulding unit) and Sicmo (moulds and tools making unit) gave the Company access to three new customers – plastic products for doormatix, personal care products and modem making companies.

 

Nief also expanded operations in East Europe (Hungary and Slovakia) and North Africa (Tunisia and Morocco) to take advantage of low production costs, leading to its overall optimisation.

 

In 2010-11, the Company also introduced a new process called ‘machining of plastics’ (machines cut plastics in requiredshape), for manufacturing medical equipment.

 

5) Sintex Infra Projects Limited

 

The Company enabled Sintex to establish a strong foothold in the Infrastructure space. The Company successfully delivered various infrastructure projects in the field of construction of airports, road and land development, construction of industrial plants, developing commercial and residential complexes, among others. With good management skills and demonstrated execution capabilities, the Company has a healthy order book.

 

In 2010-11, the Company acquired 30% ownership of Durha Constructions Private Limited (DCPL) at an investment of Rs.422.100 millions DCPL is engaged in the civil and mechanical construction in diverse infrastructure sectors including power, petrochemicals, cement from medium to large projects for private and public sectors clients – key projects include Delhi International Airport, Hyderabad International Airport, Indraprastha Power Station, among others. It has an impressive client base comprising large corporates, namely, BHEL and L and T.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Indian economy

 

India’s GDP grew at a healthy 8.5 % in 2010-11 against 8.0% in 2009-10. This growth was largely due to a significant growth in the agriculture sector at 5.4% (0.4% in 2009-10); the services and industrial sectors maintained their previous year growth momentum. The accelerated growth in the industrial sector in the first half of 2010-11 at 10.2% was hit by instability in the capital goods segment in the second half of 2010-11.

 

The confidence in the Indian growth story was witnessed in the record FII inflows in the economy and the revival in domestic investor confidence which helped the Indian stock market regain pre-crisis record levels. Net capital inflows increased US$ 13.7 billion to reach touch US$ 36.7 billion as on March 31, 2010; foreign exchange reserves grew US$ 20 billion to cross the US$ 300 billion threshold – at about US$ 305.49 billion.

 

Trade deficit expanded from US$ 120.5 billion in 2009-10 to US$ 132 billion as imports outpaced exports in absolute numbers. What is heartening is that export growth at 31.6% in 2010-11 surpassed growth in imports at 22.6% – highlighting the growing acceptance of the ‘Made in India’ tag. If a similar trend continues over the coming years, they can expect the trade deficit to decline.

 

Even as the macroeconomic numbers displayed a strong performance, they were marked by significant volatility evident not only in the numbers but also in the sentiments primarily driven by the global clues and policy responses to cater to inflation.

 

The headline inflation witnessed a relentless rise during the first half of 2010 and remained in double digits for almost five months of 2010. The uneven monsoon during 2009, domestic supply side constraints coupled with the rising international prices of food grains pushed the prices of primary food articles, which eventually drove inflation in the manufacturing goods and service sectors.

 

Indian plastic industry

 

In the last two decades, the plastics industry in India has grown significantly to meet the ever-increasing demand from various user sectors. The Indian plastic industry maintained a healthy growth rate of 15% with a turnover of about Rs.250000.000 millions capital investment of about Rs.350000.000 millions and production (inclusive of all types of processed plastics) of 8 million tonnes. India has about 22,000 plastic processing units with a total production of nearly 3.7 million tonnes and a consumption of 3.4 million tonnes. It currently exports US$ 5.3 billion of finished plastic goods, which reflects a 15 per cent growth over last year. As a result, India’s per capita consumption of plastics increased from 6 kgs in 2009 to 8 kgs in 2010 – significantly lower than the global average of 27 kgs – highlighting a huge growth opportunity over the coming years.

 

Advantages of plastics

 

·         Chemically inert

·         Safe in contact with food and medicine

·         Attractive and colourful

·         Low maintenance

·         Light weight

·         High strength to weight ratio

·         Non corrosive

·         Durable

·         Cheap

·         Flexible

·         Good thermal insulator

·         Can be given any shape or size

 

Outlook

 

The Indian plastics industry is expected grow to Rs.1332450.000 millions by 2015, positioning India as the third-largest plastics consumer up from the eighth position currently. The per capita plastics consumption at 8 kgs is expected to reach 20-25 kgs over the same period.

 

The Company and its performance

 

Sintex occupies a unique position in the Indian plastics processing sector – a concept creator. The Company offers a wide range of plastic products including storage solutions, prefabricated and monolithic structures, custom moulded products for both consumer and industrial segments and interior products. It was also presented with the prestigious Dun and Bradstreet Award, following several decades of pioneering efforts.

 

The plastics business registered a robust growth in 2010-11 from Rs.29380.100 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.40396.100 millions in 2010-11. This growth was largely due to a superior performance by the monolithic construction division, the prefab and the custom moulding segments – the major contributors to the division’s growth. Though the contribution of the plastics business in the consolidated revenue remained stable at 90%, the EBIDTA from the plastics business grew 37% from Rs. 5570.000 millions in 2009-10 to Rs.7645.400 millions in 2010-11 – with its increased contribution to the consolidated EBIDTA to 19.38% in 2010-11.

 

Strategic developments, 2010-11

 

·         Acquired 30% of Durha Constructions Pvt. Ltd. which will strengthen its execution capabilities for its low cost housing segment and establish a presence in other infrastructure verticals.

 

·         Acquired the remaining 17% stake in Wausaukee Composites Inc. to make it a 100% subsidiary of Sintex, enabling the Company to take aggressive steps for expanding business operations to capitalise on opportunities.

 

·         Created a new business vertical in the infrastructure for undertaking large water distribution and liquid waste

·         management projects

 

·         Renamed Zeppelin Mobile Systems India Limited to Zep Infratech Limited to positioning it as an infrastructure player and provider of related services.

 

·         Initiated capital-intensive projects – setting up new manufacturing facilities on a pan-India basis to strengthen product availability, market share and profitability.

 

Developments in plastic business

 

The MCC and custom moulding segment continues to be the major growth driver for the Company. In 2010-11, the Company’s plastics business recorded a growth of 30%, contributing 84% to the gross turnover as compared with 83% in 2009-10.

 

A. Building materials division

 

As the name suggests, this segment comprises the monolithic construction and prefab segments and other products related to housing including its flagship water tanks. The monolithic construction is the critical business segment in this division contributing to the lion’s share of revenue and profits.

 

Monolithic concrete constructions

 

The team delivered a number of projects in 2010-11, the prestigious among them being the government-funded Delhi low-cost housing project. More importantly, the Company made in-roads into new geographies namely Pune, Pondicherry, parts of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh in 2010-11. It received a large low-cost housing project near Lucknow. The Company is also moving up the value chain in a number of ways:

 

·         Undertaking housing projects for middle-income group (MIG), high-income group (HIG)

 

·         Increasing its exposure to housing projects from housing boards, defence, police and the private sector

 

·         Increasing its business volume by undertaking G+7 housing projects as against G+4 projects built earlier –

·         highlighting its strengthening execution capabilities

 

The Company’s acquisition of Durha Constructions Private Limited will significantly strengthen its realty development capabilities and will allow the Company to establish a meaningful presence in other infrastructural projects. What is heartening is that despite delivering a larger number of projects, the Company’s order book swelled between the end of 2010-11 and the end of 2009-10 – reflecting the increasing acceptance of this pioneering technology by a larger section of decision makers.

 

The Company working to emerge as a real estate developer, constructing houses on its own land in Rajasthan – a first-time initiative for the Company - enabling it to chart new business models, leveraging the enactment of the new housing policy in the state. Additionally, it is also in the process of exploring different business models such as foraying into joint development agreements.

Prefabricated structures

 

The Company’s prefab business is approved in 17 states --active business in 15 states. Despite a slowdown in BT shelters for the second successive year, the Company’s prefab business generated sizeable business.

 

Increased cost of traditional construction due to a steep increase in the price of steel, cement, labour enabled the

Company to demonstrate the economic benefits along with the technical superiority of prefab construction.

 

The Company aggressively and successfully marketed its products for developing health and education infrastructure, in rural and hilly reach areas where conventional construction is not possible. The Company established its presence in the North-East by creating educational and health infrastructure. Prefabs were also used as check posts and shelters in diverse geographies. The Company is also developing a new business segment which will accelerate prefab business growth, which should see the light of day in the current year.

 

Water tanks

 

Water tanks are the flagship products of the Company, making the Sintex brand synonymous with water storage in Indian households. The Company is the market leader in this product category. To strengthen its market share in this vertical, the Company undertook the following initiatives:

 

·         Created seven tank variants differently branded for household water storage to cater to the entire spectrum of probable customers – ensuring that it has a water tank for every aspiration.

 

·         Aggressively pursued marketing of niche value-added products namely large-sized underground tanks, extralarge surface and loft tanks for industrial applications and to government agencies.

 

·         Initiated the expansion project at Namakkal (South India), Boti Bori (West) and Nalagarh (North), to increase saleable

·         volumes and reduce operational and logistics costs.

 

·         Introduced cutting-edge blow moulding and roto moulding technologies, resulting in high productivity and optimised production costs.

 

Interiors

 

This vertical comprised factory-made doors windows and large panels to replace laminates and plywood. The Company worked to strengthen its presence in these product categories through the various measures:

 

·         Introduced multiple door variants -- new surface finishes and designs -- to meet diverse customer requirements

 

·         Initiated a new customer category – marketed the factorymade doors to government agencies and used in government-initiated slum rehabilitation projects

 

·         Introduced various designs and finishes in the plastic sections to generate increased volumes; expanded the distribution network to reach out to remote demand pockets, initiated carpenters training programmes to explain the benefits of using large boards, as a valueproposition against laminates and plywood

 

·         Leveraged business relations with high-end realty developers for growing volumes for its factory-made windows

 

Sub-ground structures

 

Sub-ground structures generally comprise pollution management products and include manholes along with covers, septic tanks and packaged waste water treatment systems.

 

Manholes: The Company’s manholes structures and covers found increasing acceptance among government authorities - Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh approved of this product in 2010-11. As a result, sales volumes increased significantly during 2010-11. The Company also successfully marketed its product to the private sector road and highway builders – an opportunity which is expected to drive volumes over the coming years. Product approvals from corporates are expected in the current year.

 

Septic tanks: Growing liquid pollution generation due to urbanisation, and industrialisation and the inadequate and out-dated pollution management infrastructure of the Government, has created a huge demand for storage solution for liquid waste. The Company’s septic tanks gained wide acceptance from government agencies due to its noncorrosive nature and its underground application, resulting in space saving. In 2010-11, this product received an approval from a number of government agencies.

 

Packaged waste water treatment solution: As an extension of its septic tanks, the Company introduced unique decentralised packaged waste water treatment solutions for diverse applications in rural, semi-urban and urban locations. These units are space, energy and cost-efficient, treated water from these units can be used for agriculture, horticulture or gardening applications.

 

They were successfully marketed in Kerala, Karnataka, Gujarat and outskirts of Delhi. Interestingly, the treated water from these systems can be used for all purposes other than human consumption – which could go a long way in reducing fresh water consumption. This product vertical is expected to emerge as a business over the coming years, considering the government’s thrust on water conservation, recycling and waste management.

 

Environment products

 

This business segment provides products for solid waste management to the municipal authorities of various cities and towns. The products include storage boxes of various sizes for diverse applications, push carts, dumpers and containers. The Company successfully received sizeable orders from the Kolkata and other neighbouring municipalities, Chennai and Madurai municipalities.

 

B. Custom moulding division

 

As the name suggests, this business division works closely with its customers to customize unique solutions. While the product development cycle is long, the revenue visibility is longer and profitability significantly higher than most product verticals in the building products segment.

 

Industrial containers, pallets and FRP tanks

 

Industrial containers: Increased industrial activity increased the demand for industrial containers significantly, growing business volumes for the Company. To accelerate its growth, the Company implemented the following measures:

 

·         Created a strong team with field and channel partners for aggressive marketing

 

• Customised containers for usage in the textile, pharmaceutical and chemical sectors

 

Pallets: Increased production volumes in all industries, improved material handling systems by most corporates, greater application reliance on the hub-and-spoke distribution model for a pan-India presence and larger warehousing needs is growing the need for pallets on a pan-India basis. To capitalize on this opportunity, the Company strategised and implemented the following:

 

·         Successfully expanded its opportunity canvas by marketing pallets to the automotive, engineering, warehousing and power sectors among others.

Indian Textile industry

 

The Indian textile and clothing market is currently pegged at US$ 55 billion. It accounts for 14% of the total industrial production in India and accounts for 4% of the country’s GDP. The textile sector in India recorded a growth of 7.5% in 2010-11 with about 17% of the country’s export earnings. The cumulative exports

figure from April-January 2010-11 reached Rs.397870.000 millions

 

The sector attracted a cumulative FDI investment of US$ 861.26 million between April 2000 and August 2010. In the recent budget, the government earmarked Rs.30000.000 millions for the Technology Upgradation Fund scheme (TUFs). The reduction of customs duty from 7.5% to 5% on certain textile intermediates will provide assistance to textile companies.

 

During April 2010 and February 2011, manufacture of cotton textiles grew 10.3% in 2010-11 as compared with a 5.2% growth in 2009-10.

 

Overall, the production of textile fabrics increased by 1.9 per cent during April-October 2010- 11. This is a moderate performance when compared with the robust increase of 8.8 per cent during 2009-10. The decline in textile fabrics/cloth during the current financial year, was on account of comparatively lower growth rates in the production of mill, power loom and hosiery segments.

 

India’s cotton scenario

 

India is the second-largest producer and consumer of cotton in the world after China. It accounts for about 22% or 5.6 billion kg of the total world cotton production in 2010-11. The yield for cottons in India increased from a mere 300 kg/hectare in 2003 to 500kg/hectare currently. In India, cotton accounts for nearly 60% of the total fibre consumption. (Source: Confederation of the  Indian Textile Industry, CITI)

Outlook

 

The global per capita fibre consumption is expected to grow steadily in the long-term up to 11 -12 kg per capita by 2025, which means additional fibre consumption of about 20 million tons will be required. It is expected that the global textiles and apparels industry would grow at a CAGR of 6.3% in the next 8-10 years to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2020.

 

The Indian textile and clothing market is expected to touch a US$ 100 billion mark by 2015 from its current size at US$ 55 billion. The textile and apparel exports market in India is expected nd US$ 21 billion respectively by 2015. The domestic textile and apparel demand is expected to register a CAGR of 10% to each US$ 57 billion.

 

The 2010-11 union budget is sensitive to the needs of textile industry and will continue to provide the textile industry with a conducive policy environment to facilitate its growth, augment R and D efforts, and encourage innovation with a view to enhance productivity. The budget focuses on upgradation of technology, manufacturing processes and the development of human resources for this industry.

 

According to Mr. T. Kannan, the Chairman, CII National Committee on Textiles, increasing labour and wage costs is expected to dull China’s competitive edge in the global textile trade. China currently accounts for 25% of the global textile industry and a drop of even 2-3% in its demand will provide a huge opportunity for India.
