REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company achieved a growth of 28% in the net pre-tax sales and a pre-tax profit growth of 48% over the previous year. The sales growth was primarily driven by Complan (28%), Glucon D (35%) and Nycil (22%). Despite the overall downturn in the world economy leading to subdued consumer spending the company’s performance has been noteworthy. Further there was high food inflation reflected in prices of commodities, fuels and other input materials which adversely affected the cost structure.

 

The new plant at Sitarganj, Uttarakhand which commenced production in December 2009 has stabilized and has shown considerable improvement its operation in the last year. They have used their experience and implemented the good practices at the new plant from day one. One of the new concepts is the Self Managed Team (SMT) program which envisages the employment of XII standard pass students for their manufacturing activities. The students can earn and study at the same time. This program envisages creating skill sets and retaining talent. With the support of these SMTs and the contract workforce the plant has successfully run three shifts to cater to the market demand.

 

During the year, the Company test launched Complan NutriGro targeted at toddlers aged 2+ to 4 years in three variants – Home Style Badam Kheer, Fruity Strawberry and Premium Chocolate in the States of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and West Bengal. Complan NutriGro would help us addressing nutrition needs of children aged 2+ to 4 and lays a strong platform for their future entry into infant milk food. The Company also test launched the Heinz range of chutneys and sauces in Mumbai and Delhi, and Heinz Golden Circle juices in Mumbai and Bangalore and subsequently extended to other major towns. The consumer response for these products is being evaluated and appropriate corrective actions will be taken before a national roll-out.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The year Financial Year 2012 began on a cautious note but the early onset rainy season did impact their sales of seasonal products adversely. Moreover, intense competition has resulted in reduced margins. However, the management is fully alive to the situation and has worked out necessary strategies to regain momentum. Following resounding success of Complan NutriGro and Complan with Memory Chargers, the same were launched nation-wide in M1 and M4, respectively. The Company recently launched Complan Pista Badam in the States of Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Initial results are very encouraging. Plans have been firmed up for the national launch of Pista Badam, new advertisement copy for Complan, new positioning of Glucon-D, new variant of Nycil, etc. to regain momentum and sustain their growth.
