MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

Twenty years of economic reforms have permanently changed the way India lives. Cumulative effect of changes in the last two decades resulted in per capita income growing at its fastest rate since Independence. They are now the third largest economy in terms of purchasing power. Changes came in doses, in different sectors at different times --- but kept the economy rolling forward. The great Indian middle class supported steep increases in outlay, investment and consumption.

 

2011 was a very challenging year for India, as in other countries. Turbulence and volatility were the theme of 2011. Even as economies around the world tried to recover from the meltdown of 2008, natural disasters in South America, Japan and Thailand, revolutions in West Asia and North Africa, debt crisis and threat of collapse of the Eurozone have created uncertainties in the global economy. Two of the largest economic powers of the world – Japan and Europe - were badly affected. Signs of a deeper global recession have emerged during the second half of 2011.

 

While the developed world allowed interest rates to sink to near zero level to energise their economies, emerging economies had to increase interest rates to rein in inflation, especially in food and energy costs. Growth rates in India and China have slowed down.

 

Despite signs of global economic slowdown, commodity prices and energy costs continue to remain high due to rising crude price and shortages in supplies arising from disruption in production of key raw materials in Japan and Thailand.

 

While the global developments started exerting pressure on their economy as well, the Indian polity was also beset with scandals that led to a major movement by the Civil Society against corruption in public offi ces. Hence, policy issues took a back stage. The GDP Growth slipped in the second half of 2011 and the media and industry perceives it as “policy paralysis”.

 

Indian corporates need high growth to sustain investments made/planned in anticipation of an annual 8 – 9% growth in GDP. Slow-down in demand in several sectors led to sluggish volume growth, pushing up costs and drop in margins.

 

Successive interest rate increases and tightening of liquidity by the RBI forced business houses to do a fi ne balancing between Growth – Profits – Cash. Even fast growing segments, for example, Pharma and FMCG were under pressure and “Profit table Growth” became an operational challenge. Same was the case for PPL.

 

Huhtamaki Oyj increased its shareholding in the Company from 58.9% to 60.8% during the year, demonstrating Huhtamaki’s confidence in and support to Indian operations.

 

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

 

Sales

The Company ended 2011 with Net Sales of Rs.7973.007 Millions against Rs.7040.100 Millions for 2010 - a value growth of 13.3%. Volumes in Domestic Flexible Laminates and Tube Laminates remained static while Labelling volumes grew by 25%. Exports volumes grew by 19%. The Specialized Cartons business was turned around by optimizing the Product mix.

 

Other Income

Other Income was Rs. 136.775 Millions against Rs.83.218 Millions for the previous year. It includes Rs. 42.200 Millions of dividend from Mutual Funds, Rs.16.800 Millions from sale of fixed assets (Net), INR 6.000 Millions from write back of fixed assets provision (Net) and INR 3.900 Millions of provision for sales tax written back.

 

Raw Material

Input costs rose from 70.5% of net sales in 2010 to 70.7% of net sales in 2011.

 

2011 was marked by product shortages and supply disruptions due to natural disasters during the first half of the year.

 

Though PET film prices normalized in early 2011 due to new capacities coming on stream, the reduction in costs was more than offset by price increases in specialty resins, solvents, pigments and adhesives which were in tight supply. Even as the supply position began easing towards the later part of 2011, depreciation of the rupee pushed up the cost of imports. Energy costs rose on the back of rising crude prices, shortage in supplies of coal and tariff increases. Manufacturing costs and freight rates rose steeply as a consequence.

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES

Growth in consumer spend, growing rural demand, changing demographics, emergence of a fast growing market for convenience goods, retail trade and quest for quality products are expected to sustain increase in the demand for packaging in the medium to long term.

 

Flexible packaging continues to be the preferred packaging medium as it is light, uses less material, is an efficient packaging format for transportation. It can -- in selective cases -- be made in re-closable format which is easy to store and dispose. Besides, it can protect the product from moisture and contamination, retain aroma and lend gloss and graphic appeal to the consumer.

 

Flexible Packaging industry is expected to grow in the near future at 15% per annum. It is estimated that Flexible Packaging accounts for about 22% of the total packaging market. Small pack sizes have helped grow the rural demand because of affordable price points.

 

Food on display – whether frozen or at normal temperature -- will need appropriate packaging. Branded foods use specialized packaging as a promotional medium. This would not only improve business prospects for packaging but also raise the bar for quality packaging. Besides normal known functions, packaging will also play a role in safe transportation, storage and handling as technology improvements take root in the supply chain. Necessity will also spur emerging ideas such as Active Packaging Technologies and use of new Barrier materials.

 

AWARDS

The Company continues to maintain its record of winning awards for Packaging innovation and excellence. During 2011, 7 IFCA STAR awards were received for speciality laminates, shrink sleeves and specialized cartons.
