OPERATIONS

 

Net sales and operating income for the standalone entity increased Rs.2050.000 millions from Rs.1600.000 millions in the previous year – a growth of 28%. The operating profit (PBIDT) increased by 8.5%, from Rs.285.600 millions to Rs.310.000 millions. Despite volume growth of 18.3% over the previous year, operating margins were under pressure because of volatility in polymer prices, which are linked to crude oil prices. Polymer prices were 15% higher as compared to previous year and the entire increase in the prices of polymers could not be passed on to the customers because of lag effect and due to competition in the market place, resulting in profits after tax reduction to Rs.118.600 millions from Rs.137.500 millions

 

After commissioning of the Rohtak unit in April 2010, the total installed capacities stands at close to 15,875 MT. In the very first year of its operations, Rohtak unit produced as high as close to 2,900 MT.

 

The consolidated net sales and operating income increased to Rs.3460.000 millions from Rs.2640.000 million – a growth of 31%. The operating profit (PBIDT), increased by 15%, from Rs.416.200 millions to Rs.475.100 millions. Despite volume growth of 20.4% over the previous year, as mentioned above, due to volatility in polymer prices, operating margins were under pressure. Net profit after tax increased to Rs.161.300 millions from Rs.157.300 millions

 

In the past, initiatives taken by the Management, keeping in mind longer term perspective, of entering into food and pharma sector of FMCG had reaped the benefits with excellent performance reported by the subsidiary during the year. These initiatives have been continued by investing substantially in creating clean room facilities, one of the pre-requisite of food and pharma sector, for sustaining growth.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Indian Economic Review

 

The financial year 2010-11 has come to close on a high note. The Government collected an all-time high direct tax of Rs.450.000 millions crore in this year - about Rs.40000.000 millions more than the revised budget estimate and 20% over the direct tax collection last year. The country’s GDP growth is likely to come in at 8.4% in the FY 2011 and expected to be sub-8% in FY 2012. The IIP numbers have shown increase of 7.4% in March 2011 compared to 6.8% in March 2010. To curb the rising inflation, the RBI has continuously increased interest rates latest being increase of 50 bps in May 2011.

 

Packaging Industry

 

The Company’s main products are rigid plastic containers and bottles specially catering to customers relating to Paints, Healthcare, Consumer Goods, Lube and Pesticides.

 

Presence of Hitech Plast in Paint Industry and FMCG Industry

 

Hitech Plast has presence in supplying rigid packaging to Paint and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. The drivers of growth for both these industries have been highlighted herein below:

 

PAINT INDUSTRY

 

India’s industry size is estimated to be Rs.190 billion (~ 2 m kilolitres by volume), nearly one and a half times the size of next largest FMCG sub-category (biscuits which is at Rs.120 billion). Despite the large size, the paint industry has posted strong growth sales CAGR of 17.8% over FY05-10. Volume growth of the top-five organized players stood at 13.6% during the same period.

 

Decorative Paints to grow faster

 

The paint market can be divided into two broad product segments – decorative and industrial. In India, decorative paints form the bulk of the market, both in value and volume terms.

 

Up-trading in Decorative happening at a faster pace

In the past few years, water based emulsions, comprising nearly one-third of the market, have been increasingly substituting lower-end paints such as distempers, cement paints and enamels. As per the industry sources, growth in emulsions has been significantly higher than that of other paints. High durability, better looking finish in a wider colour-range, more environmental friendly and increasing affordability due to availability of economy emulsions at a relatively lower cost have been driving the shift to emulsions.

 

Decorative Paints segmentation

 

FY12 – FY 13E Decorative paints are set for higher growth, given in-place demand drivers, which are 1) robust economic growth resulting in higher disposable income, 2) real estate boom in the past few years, translating into increase in demand for repainting, 3) continued growth in real estate, 4) launch of `affordable housing’, 5) change in perception towards painting, 6) shift in demographic profile resulting in increase in number of households and 7) various innovations by large players. In addition, it is expected that, apart from overall volume growth, significant up-trading – from cheaper distemper to interior emulsions, cement primers to exterior emulsions and low-end emulsions to premium emulsions, will take place.

 

FMCG INDUSTRY

 

The fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry, which accounts for 2.2 per cent of India’s GDP, is set to attain size of ` 1300 billion in FY 11. The FMCG industry in India has grown rapidly and the growth rates across different product categories are good indicators of how the Indian consumer has evolved. The sector witnessed a robust year-on-year growth of approximately 11 per cent in the last decade, almost tripling from Rs. 470 billion in FY 2001 to the current size.

 

The last five years have augured well for the industry with an annual growth rate of approximately 17 per cent since FY 2006. Even in the meltdown years of FY 2008 and FY 2009, the FMCG industry witnessed sustained growth rates of 14 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively, demonstrating that unlike other sectors, this sector was relatively recession-proof. Within the category of food products which account for nearly 45 per cent of the industry size, staple products like edible oils have grown at single digits given a high degree of penetration as well as established usage patterns. Fruit juices on the other hand have reported exponential growth, moving from near zero level in FY 2000 to ` 9 billion at present. Similar trends are visible in the personal products category with skin care creams outpacing the growth of more mundane product line such as toothpaste. Increased incomes, changing social habits and growing awareness of healthier and packaged beverages have contributed to these patterns as shown below, during the last five years.

 

There are well-identified three sets of players operating within a highly developed and intensely competitive landscape viz., a) Foreign players such as Unilever, Pand G, Nestle, RBL, ITC, GSK, SC Johnson, J and  J, Cadbury, Amway etc., b) strong Indian players with established national presence such as Dabur, Marico, Pidilite, Godrej Consumer Products, Parle, Tata Tea, Emami, Paras Pharma, Future Group, etc. and c) regional or small domestic players such as Kevincare, Patanjali, Swan sweets, Ravalgaon, Amar Tea, Society Tea, etc. Growth (in terms of %) in paint and other top 10 FMCG categories in the last five years

 

GENERAL SCENARIO

 

Rising inflation has lead to monetary tightening: Inflationary pressures have risen sharply in the last couple of months, both with the rise in international commodity prices and the recent sharp rise in food prices. Inflation in the month of March has remained above 8% much ahead of the RBI’s target. RBI and the government had earlier expected the inflation to fall to 5% by the end of March. As a result the RBI was left with no option but to go for a higher than expected increase in policy rates. The RBI increased the REPO rates by 50 bps to 7.25% and the Reverse Repo to 6.25% to tackle higher inflation.

 

 

Growth will slip down in FY12 to sub-8%: RBI has downgraded the growth target for FY 12 to 8% as against the target of 9% by the government. This will have implications on the fiscal deficit front as the government’s fiscal deficit target of 4.6% assumes strong buoyancy in revenues which might suffer if there is lower growth.

 

Investment cycle failing to gain traction: The investment cycle, which was the biggest contributor to growth during FY03-08, has not yet returned to pre-crisis growth rates, even though demand growth has returned. Since the cyclical peak in FY08, India’s gross fixed-capital formation has stagnated at 32-33% of GDP in nominal terms. The slowdown in FY09 and early part of FY10 was understandable, given the global uncertainties, but the continued delay in a revival of growth is worrisome, and bodes ill for sustenance of high growth in the medium term.
