MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

PAINT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Indian paint industry witnessed positive growth in 2010-11, bolstered by the high GDP growth rate of 8.6%. The paint market is dominated by decorative paints, which accounts for nearly 70% of the total demand. The balance 30% belongs to industrial paints - comprising automotive and industrial, protective, powder, coil and marine coatings.

 

The decorative paints market is throwing up opportunities for premium products which are technically superior. Higher purchasing power, backed by higher income levels, increased urbanization, rising construction activity in the housing segment and easy availability of housing loans are boosting growth in this segment. This is helped by the spread of audio-visual media, internet and communication facilities. Better living conditions and aesthetics now fetch a definite value. Considering the low levels of per capita consumption of paints per annum (0.5 kg in India compared to 6.4 kgs in China and 15 kgs in the USA compared to a global average of 10-13 kgs), your Company feels that there is still much potential in this sector.

 

Growing awareness among retail consumers with respect to brand and attendant quality is attracting them towards the organized sector. There is marked tilt towards eco-friendly products which are not harmful to human beings as well as the environment.

 

 

COMPANY’S OPERATIONS

 

During the year, the Company introduced Weathercoat Allguard - premium plus exterior emulsion. It is the first Exterior Coating in India which is fortified with silicone that repels water and improves weatherability.

 

Another important addition to the Company’s product portfolio was WeatherCoat Kool ‘n’ Seal. As the name suggests, it delivers a 2 in 1 advantage of sealing terrace cracks and also cooling the interiors by reflecting heat. It keeps the interiors cool vis-ŕ-vis the ambient temperature. Also introduced were Water Based Wood Coatings which do not emanate offensive smell.

 

As a continuation of Corporate “Green Policy” (Green Horizon), the Company offers Breathe Easy Emulsion (for interior walls) and Breathe Easy Enamel (for doors and windows) under the brand umbrella - “Breathe Easy”. This has low volatile organic chemicals (VOC), no unpleasant odour, reduced carbon and ammonia emissions. Breathe Easy is the first green paint in India to receive global certification.

 

As part of Green Horizon, the Company ensures that none of its decorative formulations carries any unhealthy dosage of harmful chemicals like lead and mercury.

 

In the Protective Coatings Business, the Company launched three new products during the year. Some of these products are odourless and have unique corrosion and heat resistance properties. Your Company continues to be the leader in this field and supplies to all sectors of national importance such as infrastructure, power, oil and gas.

 

The automotive and general industrial businesses also performed well in view of recovery in key market segments. New products were developed for two wheelers, their plastic components and exhaust pipes.

 

The Company’s factories performed well and produced as per market requirements. It has been reported in the previous year’s Directors’ Report that the Company’s Puducherry (formerly Pondicherry) factory, which had ceased operations on 26th November, 2008, resumed on 3rd May, 2010. The Enterprise Resource Planning System, launched in the year 2009, is now fully functional covering all offices, depots and factories of the Berger Division. The same system will now be extended to the British Paints Division of your Company. The Company has now set up several Regional Distribution Centres in important locations for the purpose of higher storage capacity and quicker market response.

 

 

FOCUS AND OUTLOOK FOR 2011-12

 

The financial year 2011-12 commenced with high inflation exacerbated by rising commodity prices and soaring prices of crude. There have been obvious measures such as increases in lending rates. Despite this, the paint industry is bullish about repeating the growth momentum of 2010-11 in the financial year 2011-12 as well. The industrial sector including construction, automobile and petroleum products segments are expected to post positive growth in 2011-12. The rising level of consumption alongwith investments is bound to push forward industrial production thereby creating a positive impact on the paints sector. The Company shall take suitable steps to seize every opportunity to further consolidate its position in the paints sector in the forthcoming years.

 

The focus of the Company for the year 2011-12 is on developing the premium exterior and interior emulsion category which has grown significantly in the last few years and making technological advances to offer better products with varied uses in the industrial and protective coatings sectors. In order to generate demand, the Company will continue to concentrate on improving the Company’s share of project business. There is enough scope in the country to expand distribution networks across all markets both in terms of width and depth. Considering the significance of improving service to dealers, state-of-the-art systems related measures have been initiated, which will enhance the Company's distribution and operational efficiencies.

SUBSIDIARIES AND JOINT VENTURES

 

There were severe winter conditions in the first quarter of 2010 in Poland. The performance of Bolix for financial year 2010 showed marginal improvement over 2009 against this backdrop. The building construction industry continued to be sluggish in financial year 2010 though there are signs that the demand for External Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS) products is improving gradually in the first quarter of 2011. Bolix has launched its new premium HD (Heavy Duty) range of EIFS products in the first quarter of financial year 2011 as well as exciting retrofitting renovation and repair solutions which have been received well in the market and will help to reinforce Bolix’s technology player platform. On 20th October, 2010, Build - Trade sp. z.o.o. (BT) was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bolix S.A. for the purpose of trading in certain third party products relating to EIFS. Consequently, BT has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. BT did not carry out any business in the financial year ended on 31st December, 2010.
