Management Discussion & Analysis

 

Business Overview:

 

Subject is a manufacturer of glass containers for the Cosmetics & Perfumery, Pharmaceuticals and Specialty Food & Beverage industries. PGL manufactures a wide range of glass bottles and jars, in sizes ranging from 2 ml to 2.5 liters. PGL has manufacturing facilities in India, USA and Sri Lanka.

 

Growth Drivers

Cosmetics & Perfumery (C&P)

 

The Cosmetics and Perfumery division of Piramal Glass caters to international marquee customers like  LVMH, Yves Rocher, YSL, Coty, Unilever, Revlon, L’Oreal, Avon, P&G, Elizabeth Arden, Estee Lauder etc. apart from specialized localized manufacturers like Dumak LLC, Erkul Kozmetic, Compagnie De Diffussion, Niasi, Expak, Baralan International, Estico Ltd., Revolline Ltd.  These customers use the glass bottles and jars for products like nail polish, make-up foundations, perfumes, skin care creams etc.

 

Traditionally the C&P glass bottles market was dominated by European players like SGD, Pochet, Gerresheimer, Heinz, Zignago, Bormiolli Rocco and Bormiolli Luigi. Most of them are players with existence in these markets for more than a hundred years. 

 

The industry is characterized by capital intensive equipments  and although manufacturing is automated, forming of glass bottles and operations like sorting and decoration are  skill and manual intensive.

 

PGL entered this space in 2000 with a foray into nail polish market and later low mass perfumes. Within a few years of foray, PGL became a dominant player in the nail polish glass bottle market. Today PGL makes 1 out of every 2 nail polish bottles manufactured globally (PGL manufactured 1.72 billion pieces  in FY11)

 

In 2007, after achieving leadership position in Nail Polish and Mass Perfume markets, under a long term strategy initiative, PGL entered the premium segment of C&P and today the segment is the prime focus of the company. In terms of capacity Piramal Glass has one of the largest installed capacity globally (345 TPD) and currently enjoys a market share of 5.6% worldwide (sales of ` 6026 million).

 

Investment in capacities, leveraging skills from their USA operations coupled with  focus on world class business processes through Manufacturing Excellence has helped the Company to attain this position

 

European glass manufacturers, due to recession in FY09 took a hit when the markets showed a negative growth of 20%. Various furnaces of European players were running at reduced utilization, and subsequently took a hit on profit margins. Piramal Glass, on the other hand was relatively untouched primarily on account of low costs and diversified customer and geography mix.  The markets have since bounced back and almost all European players are at full capacity and some of them are expanding capacities.

 

The prime driving force for growth of PGL has been increased cost consciousness among western customers coupled with boom in consumption of C&P in emerging economies due to  growing young population, higher percentage of working women and increasing disposable income, resulting in a spurt in C&P sales in emerging economies particularly the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China).

 

These factors have resulted in more customers developing PGL, as a respectable glass manufacturer from Asia, as an alternate supplier. A successful execution of initial projects by PGL has helped the Company in winning a higher percentage of the business from existing customers.

 

Looking back they can say that they were newcomers when they started manufacturing nail polish in 2000. Since then they have made rapid strides to become the leading nail polish player. This growth story is being replicated in the perfumery space. In short, PGL is poised to become a leading global supplier of C&P glass bottles in the world, and is already making rapid strides in that direction.

 

PGL has been the fastest growing C&P glass company with a CAGR of 35% (FY05-FY11).   In-order to cater to the growing demand and moving a step closer to the vision of “Top 3 flacconage manufacturers in the world”  PGL is increasing the capacity in C&P from current 345 TPD to 600 TPD.

 

This increase in capacity is both on account of a Greenfield project of 160 TPD in Jambusar and capacity up-gradation of existing furnaces for Premium as well as converting 75 TPD from Pharma into C&P.

 

 

Pharmaceutical:

 

The Pharmaceutical glass container division manufactures amber bottles, amber and flint vials for liquid oral formulations, injectibles, etc. Products manufactured conform to US, Indian and European pharmacopeia in Type I, Type II and Type III formulations.  PGL is a leading supplier of glass containers to both multinational and Indian pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Cipla, Abbott, Alembic, Ranbaxy, E-Merck, Aventis, Dabur , Himalaya drugs, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories etc.

 

In FY-11, this segment has seen competition in form of replacement with PET especially in the Oral formulations and amber glass bottles in the range of 60 ml to 100 ml.  This has led to domestic market shrinking by almost 15% for the amber glass bottles. PGL has focused on export markets and currently 37% of PGL Pharmaceutical division comprises of exports.

 

The high-end Borosilicate Glass (or Type-I Glass) market has been an attractive growth segment for PGL particularly for exports to USA as also”deemed exports” in India as more and more injectibles manufacturing facility in India receive US FDA approval. PGL has increased its offering to this market by enhancing its capacity from 25 TPD to 45 TPD in the previous year.

 

 

 

 

 

Specialty Food & Beverages:

 

The Specialty Food & Beverages division provides bottles for wine, liquor and food which are often unique in design and decoration.  This business is very freight intensive and hence localized. Piramal Glass is catering to this segment from Sri Lanka and USA. PGL has consciously grown in exports from Sri Lanka, earlier mainly to India, and today to Far East and Australia. In Sri Lanka the strategy has been to migrate to more and more premium customers. In USA, the process of winning new customers and contracts is relatively slow but permanent in nature. Since USA acquisition, they have gradually been able to increase their sales in this segment through acquisition of new customers and retaining old ones. USA operations have  edge over its European competitors due to lower freight.  PGL caters to global customers like Diageo, Pernod Recod, Cadbury Schwepps, UB Group, etc.

 

Strategy Summary

 

1.       Continued focus on C&P segment and the growth in capacity and skill will help the company in growing both in Premium as well as Mass segment. The growth will also be fuelled by continued efforts to transition some of the C&P production from the USA facility to India

 

2.       Improvement in product mix and geography mix for Pharmaceutical segment

 

3.       Focus on Sri Lankan markets for better product mix and growth in Specialty Food & Beverages 

 

 

Focus on C&P segment especially Premium within this segment has helped the company to expand the EBDITA margin from 20% to 25.2%.

Total sales for the year ended 31 Mar 2011 grew by 10.4% to Rs. 12,184.6 million compared to FY2010 Net sales of Rs. 11,039.2 million.
