The business environment remained extremely challenging and the recessionary economic conditions to slowdown in demand and inflation pushed scale up of input costs left its adverse imprint on overall performance for 2011. The Company, based on its intrinsic strength, has broadly maintained its performance. Gross sales from

operations remained above threshold mark of Rs.10000.000 Millions during the year.

 

The operational performance for the current year is not strictly comparable with that of 2010 due to the fact that performance for previous year included operations of manufacturing facilities located at Balkum, Thane which was closed in December 2010.

 

In accordance with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the Company and Ananta Landmarks Private Limited for sale of balance land together with the infrastructure thereon located at Balkum, Thane, the Company handed over the possession and on receipt of the entire sale consideration the transaction was concluded in February 2011. The profit resulting from the sale, Rs.2404.700 Millions is reflected in exceptional items in the financial performance of the Company.

 

The Company registered sales of Rs.9560.800 Millions as compared to Rs.9747.100 Millions with de-growth of 1.9 percent in sales, which on like to like basis, after considering the loss of sales from discontinuance of Phthalo Green business amount to a marginal growth of 1.9 percent over previous year. The sharp increase in the cost of raw materials and inflationary rise in other expenses resulted into lowering of PBDIT margin before exceptional items from 19.5 percent to 17.7 percent. Net profit after accounting for exceptional items and tax is significantly higher over the previous year. The Company continues to remain focused to sustain its market position in the highly competitive business segments in which it operates. These results were realized by the Company in very difficult business environment which witnessed slow-down of demand both in local and foreign markets. Of the total sales revenue of the Company for the year 23.6 percent is contributed by exports.

 

The Cyclone “Thane”, which hit Tamil Nadu Coast on early hours of Friday, December 30, 2011, caused damage to plant infrastructure facilities and equipment at their manufacturing site located in Cuddalore and affected operations at site for a few weeks. Thanks to excellent efforts of the staff at Cuddalore, production was restored to normal after carrying out restoration activities with minor loss in productivity.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 

The Extremely challenging business environment had put restraint on growth drive of the Company for the year 2011. In view of discontinuation of its operations at Balkum Plant, Thane effective from December, 2010, the operational performance for the current year is not strictly comparable with that of 2010. In spite of difficult times, the Company has been able to broadly sustain its performance and registered positive sales growth of 1.9% on comparable basis and marginal loss of 1.9% on absolute value basis.

 

Of the total sales revenue of the Company for the year, 23.6% is contributed by exports. In view of rising cost of raw materials and escalation in other operating costs mainly due to lower productivity, profit before depreciation, interest, exceptional items and tax (PBDIT) is lower as compared to the previous year. After considering the exceptional income including those arising from sale of land and infrastructure at Balkum, Thane, the profit after tax (PAT) has gone up substantially from Rs.1124.100 Millions to Rs.3040.400 Millions as compared to the previous year. The following ratios reflect the financial performance for the year in relation to the previous year.

 

The Company remains a zero debt company with no long-term borrowings. The Company has been assigned ‘CARE AAA’ rating for long term bank facilities and ‘CARE A1+’ for short term bank facilities and this endorses the confidence on the financial standing of the Company. Short-term bank borrowings are restricted to the need based working capital requirements. The Company has sustained its performance in efficient management of working capital. The yearend ratio of inventory to sales of 12%, receivables to sales of 14% and net working capital to sales of 8.3 % is one of the best in the specialty chemical industry. Net cash flow from operating activities during the year was Rs.207.791 Millions. Funds surplus to the operational needs have been prudently invested to earn reasonable returns with a high degree of safety. A sum of Rs.2665.100 Millions (previous year Rs.1885.900 Millions) stands invested in debt schemes of mutual funds at the end of the year.

 

All the plants had smooth operations and the capacity utilisation was lower due to slowdown in demand as compared to previous year. As reported earlier, with the sale of Balkum plant in Thane, the manufacturing operations of Phthalo green was discontinued due to closure of site.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The chemical industry is one of the world’s largest industries and since it contributes indirectly to almost every sector of the economy, it plays a vital role in a country’s economic growth. As the global economy grows, it increases the demand for chemical products and the growth is further driven by the value chain of product innovation and improved production processes.

 

The Indian chemical industry, one of the oldest industries in India, is highly diversified in structure catering to the broad manufacturing bases and markets. The industry with a large domestic demand potential as compared to other countries, contributes over 3 percent of the overall GDP and is an important cog in the wheel of economic growth. Based on a study conducted by Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE), the gross turnover of Indian chemical sector was around $60 billion and the cumulative investment was USD 22 billion in 2008-09. More than 85% of its production volume is accounted by the basic chemical sector with fertilizers 43% and petrochemicals 30% providing the major contributions. However, the share of knowledge intensive chemical sector is about 34% of chemical industry turnover due to its low volume and high value feature. The overall contribution of speciality chemical sector to production is around 14% with nearly 50% of it is contributed by the food processing subsector (Chemical News, Nov.2011). The industry is contributing significantly to the industrial and economic growth and has emerged as a net earner of foreign exchange. Along with drugs and petrochemicals segments, fine chemicals, dyes and intermediates, and knowledge based chemicals are playing a significant role in driving the growth of India’s chemical industry.

 

The key characteristics of the Indian chemical industry are - focus on high domestic demand with increase in per capita consumption levels, high degree of fragmentation, small scale operations, limited emphasis on exports, low cost competitiveness due to high taxation and cost of capital and low focus on R&D. The chemical industry is divided into three key segments (1) basic chemicals (inorganic chemicals, petrochemicals, fertilizers and industrial chemicals), (2) speciality chemicals (paints and varnishes, textile chemicals, dyestuff and intermediaries, catalysts, plastic additives, adhesives and sealants, industrial gases etc.) and (3) knowledge chemicals (pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, agrochemicals). The speciality chemical segment is characterized with high product differentiation and value addition, typically smaller production units with more flexibility and low capital investment levels.

 

The Indian chemical sector is witnessing deceleration in the past few years. From a 5.31% growth in April-October, 2009, it fell to 0.9% in the same period in 2010 and there was steep fall of 2.4% in the same period in 2011. During 2011-12 the sector started well, however, the rate of growth and demand for chemicals in all segments which remained good in first quarter suddenly fell below normal over the course of the second and third quarter.

 

 

OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

 

The Indian economic growth in general and industrial growth in particular has decelerated sharply during 2011. On the other hand, the global economic weakness has forced many players on other markets to divert their supplies to India. As a result, the domestic chemical sector in general and speciality chemicals in particular is witnessing the double impact of sluggish domestic demand and increased competition from global and domestic players. The Chemical industry’s contribution to the GDP has stagnated during the past two years due to India’s inability to build competitiveness required to meet global challenges and to develop a larger domestic market through low cost production. The major challenge that the Indian chemical industry continue to face is the perception that it affects the environment negatively. The industry is viewed with misapprehensions on the pollution and sustainability fronts and thus safety, health and environment protection issues have become the major talking point in the Indian chemical industry. Inspite of Indian chemical sector taking a significant lead over other industries sectors, in R&D spending and utilisation, it lags behind other emerging economies like China and S. Korea.

 

Products from the chemical industry have altered the quality of life world over and have contributed significantly to everyone’s day-to-day requirements. The Indian chemical industry forms the backbone of industrial development of India. Over the years, the industry has evolved from basic chemical producer to knowledge intensive industry with healthy growth. The huge potential of domestic demand and low per capita consumption in each of its industry segments compared to world average provide a strong potential for overall performance for Indian chemical industry. The speciality chemical segment which caters to several key applications will be increasingly important for India and with expanding economic growth and per capita income; it is poised to grow more than the economic growth. The industry shows comparative promise when compared to the advanced countries and has the potential to emerge as a major manufacturing hub for the global market. In the past export growth was hampered by reach and other European legislation, but Indian government has taken quick measures to meet the norms and offers concession in registration charges for companies that come under the reach legislation. This offers unique opportunities to the industry players to innovate and move up the value chain and compete effectively with global players both in the domestic and export markets and bring the Indian speciality chemical industry on the global map while meeting the needs of enhanced quality of life for growing affluent population of India. In order to improve quality and throughput, supply chain efficiencies and sustainable competitiveness, the chemical industry must look for automation of plants which are highly complex and play an important role in streamlining processes and reducing costs. With these initiatives and industry’s proactive actions, the chemical industry will witness resurgence in terms of cost competitiveness and growth.

 

India has emerged as a global supplier of dyestuffs, intermediates, pigments and pigment preparations and the industry is growing with steady demand from domestic and export markets. However, in order to take a leap forward, the industry has to address the issues with respect to clean and green environment and meet competitive pressure from China and other markets. The Indian paint industry has seen remarkable changes and has become far more sophisticated in terms of the products it manufactures, the way it sells to customers and the

range of technologies it uses. Industry outlook for paint, plastics, inks and special applications remain good. In coatings industry, increasing demand for good quality exterior paint provides opportunity to sell high performance pigments having better light / weather fastness. Due to retail boom, plastic and flexible film packaging is showing good signs of progress. Particularly for packing of consumable / food items, plastic packing and printing on flexible packing need safe colors conforming to the food packaging regulations. The challenges in this segment are from rising costs of utilities whereas customers are increasingly becoming sensitive to price rise. The Company has positioned itself as preferred supplier of pigments, pigment preparations, additives and intermediates to major paint, coatings and ink manufacturing companies in the country and is well equipped to meet the requirements.

 

The Indian textile industry which accounts for about 4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has witnessed turbulence during 2011 owing to high volatility in cotton prices as well as large scale unit closures in the Tirupur area, an important center for the textile industry. The free trade agreement and duty free import of 48 textile items from Bangladesh and comparative low manpower costs has led to substantial rise in import of fabrics and apparels and export of yarn. Textile companies are fast shifting their base to Bangladesh to take advantage of low costs and tariff concessions. The Govt. has set an export target of $ 33 billion for the textiles sector for 2012-13 despite the global slowdown as against target of $ 28 billion for 2011-12. The ambitious targets is expected to provide opportunities to the textile chemical segment to move up in value chain in the expanding market of fashion, formal and leisurewear garments. The Textile chemical industry has the advantage of low cost manpower and pool of technical experts. However, with shifting base, the industry may face threat of competition from low cost countries. Clariant is a leading producer of dyes and textile chemicals and plays a key role throughout the entire textile supply chain and its all segments.

 

The Indian leather industry holds pre-eminent position in the global leather market and has huge potential for growth in exports. The industry has moved from being an exporter of finished leather to products exports and established for its designing capabilities and premium leather goods. The growth in leather industry is contributed

by range of product segments including leather footwear which accounts for 40% of exports followed by garment sector that accounts for about 10 percent. India’s share in the world’s leather trade is just about 3 percent. Demand for leather accessories, goods and fashion garments from India have picked up in export markets due to skill sets and technology development. Increasing labour costs in China provide further opportunity for sourcing of leather goods from India. Clariant with a wide product range of leather dyeing and finishing chemicals, provide customized technical solutions and its expertise to realize consistently brilliant colors, natural tones, performance leathers and more environmentally compatible solutions.

 

The Indian paper and newsprint industry is estimated at about Rs.303 billion. Significant demand growth in writing and printing paper segment in the recent past has led to significant capacity additions. Though the growth in paper demand is likely to sustain due to lower per capita consumption compared with world average, it may not be adequate to absorb all new capacities and may create surplus supply leading to price pressure. Ban on plastic usages and increasing awareness for paper usage in various segments including food packaging, cup stock and high quality color tissue opens up opportunities for OBA, colorants, strength improving chemicals, fluoro chemical, color pigments and bio degradable and FDA approved specialty chemicals. Clariant provides knowledge and expertise in the management of whiteness, coloration, special coatings and strength and offer products to improve optical and functional properties of all kinds of paper and board.

 

The industrial, home and personal care markets in India are on a healthy growth trajectory, although competitive pressure has intensified and margins are under pressure. Very low per capita consumption levels for most of the products compared to global averages and favorable demographics and higher disposable incomes are permitting consumers across the spectrum to increase spending. Continued expansion of markets provides immense opportunities for all kinds of chemical inputs for industrial, home and personal care segments. The chemical suppliers are being challenged to offer ingredients that provide enhanced functionality and multiple benefits at lower prices. Clariant with its strong global presence is looking forward for improving its position in this segment. The Company has established customer care and crop protection laboratories with state of art facilities to focus on strengthening new business development for industrial and personal care applications and building unique portfolio of crop protection guideline formulations using a range of emulsifiers, adjuvants, dispersing agents and new innovative chemistry derived from renewable resources.

 

The plastics and polymer segment is currently struggling to cope with waning domestic demand and slump in global markets. Most plastic and plastic processing facilities are running below their capacities due to declining demand. However, plastic packaging, tanks and containers segment is growing steadily with high potential for growth in domestic consumption. With local focus and global standards, Clariant addresses Indian plastics sector’s push to create innovative, safer, and environmental compatible products. It’s specialty chemicals and master batches provides broad portfolio of high-quality, cost-effective pigments, and performance additives and its innovative products provide cost efficient processing, advanced functionality and aesthetic possibilities to meet the challenges of a wide range of segments including food and cosmetics packaging, electronic and electrical (E&E), infrastructure, agriculture, medical and pharmaceutical.

 

Indian chemical businesses have to change and adopt their strategies, methodology of working and organizational structure to hold against competition. Highly developed technology, in-depth research capabilities, backward and forward linkages and expansion of capacity to reduce the dependence on imports are some of the crucial factors that need to be addressed.

MEDIA RELEASE:

 

CLARIANT SHARES GLOBAL BEST PRACTICES ON SAFE TRANSPORTATION OF CHEMICALS

 

·         Safe transportation of chemicals via air, water, and road requires renewed focus.

·         Key implementation gaps in road transportation needs to be filled in.

 

Mumbai (India), May 8, 2012 - Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited shared some of the important international regulations related to marine, air transport and road transportation at the 13th Chemical Weekly Business Outlook conference held in April 2012.

 

 

In his presentation titled – “Safe Transportation of Chemicals – Global and Indian Scenario”, Mr. P.A. Murali, Regional Head–ESHA, Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited, elaborated that while Marine transportation and Air transportation are highly regulated and followed universally by all the countries, road transportation is governed by regional and national regulations and there are a number of gaps observed in its implementation in the Indian scenario. During the discussions, he highlighted some of the key elements involved in safe road transportation and the best practices followed in various countries. “It is the responsibility of everyone in the supply chain and strict compliance is essential to avoid accidents and / or minimize its impact during all stages of transportation process,” he pointed out.

 

Referring to the Indian regulations related to road transportation under the Central Motor Vehicle rules 1989 and the challenges in implementation, he highlighted the need for focus on some key areas:

 

1. Improving the safety standards of logistic services available in India. Globally such logistics service providers are approved as per SQAS requirements by qualified third party inspectors.

2. Need for more training of vehicle drivers to reduce the gap in the availability of qualified drivers for driving hazardous chemicals.

3. Need for correct classification, MSDS, documentation, proper labeling and communication of hazards to the drivers as many chemicals are sold with branded names.

4. Increased awareness among various stake holders like logistic service providers, transporters, and emergency responders like police and fire brigade personnel.

5. Setting up chemical emergency response centers at different locations in the country, which can quickly respond to emergencies on road.

 

Mr. Murali shared some of the global best practices followed by Clariant in its operations worldwide which can be used in the Indian scenario as well.
