PERFORMANCE AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Macro - economic environment witnessed a rather gradual uplift over the better part of the year, however, the Company continued to be challenged by the cautious dealers mindset resulting from the unprecedented economic recession of the year before. Improvement in sales mix has been seen in new areas, albeit at higher cost. For the fiscal year 2010-11, the sales of the Company grew by 57 % to Rs.1578.688 Millions as compared with that of previous year at Rs.1003.683 Millions

 

Due to continuous increase in the demand for the Company's products, the Company has increased its capacity from 24,833 MT. to 30,093 M.T. showing an increase of 21%. Further they are happy to inform you that during the year  the Company was able to utilize its capacity to the tune of 17,997 MT which is approx. 60% of the capacity as at the end of the last year. The lesser capacity utilization is due to size change, mould change, sales order of higher dimensions and frequent power cuts.

 

This year saw significant material cost inflation in the second half, driven primarily by spiraling crude oil prices. Prices of Resin and Granuels, which constitute 95% of their Material Cost Base, were adversely impacted. However, the Company continues to strive for operating cost optimization through a series of initiatives in product mix rationalization, vendor development and factory technological upgradation.

 

Resultantly, Profit before tax during 2010-11 was Rs.464.54 lacs as compared to Rs.936.47 lacs during 2009-10, which shows a decrease of 50.39%. The decrease was mainly due to higher interest rates, inflation, additional discounts to dealers for price competition and firm commodity prices. Moreover, the cost of transportation for new developed areas has also increased due to increase in the fuel prices

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

 

With a view to expand its business in Gulf Countries, the Company has promoted a wholly owned subsidiary, Tulsi International (FZE) which is incorporated in Hamriyah Free Zone at Dubai, UAE. However, during the fiscal year 2010-11 no business operations have been carried out.

 

Management Discussion and Analysis (MDA)

As the world struggles with growth deficit due to higher leverage and poor demographic profile of the developed world, Emerging economies are reporting much stronger structural as well as cyclical rebound in growth. China and India being the fastest growing economies in the world (in that order) accounted for 11% of the nominal world GDP in 2011 and the same statistics as per IMF is expected to rise 34% by 2030.

 

India posted GDP growth of 8%+ CAGR in the 2003-2010 period and is poised for a much stronger structural progress as it boasts of an under-leveraged consumer and a productive demographic profile that adds 1 crore people to the earning population ever year. The one-billion plus population of India with average age of 25 relative to China's 30 years is at present massively under-penetrated for the demand it generates and thus makes a case for a massive potential demand for the second fastest growing economy.

 

The Economic Advisory Council's July 2010 Economic Outlook had taken the view that Indian economy would grow by 8.5% in 2010-11. In the event, growth in the first half of 2010-11 has been higher at 8.9%. The Council had expected the rate of growth to moderate during second half of the year, but the CSO Advance Estimates have placed full year growth at 8.6%. The Gross Domestic product (GDP) in India expanded 7.80 percent in the first quarter of 2011 over the same quarter, previous year. Agriculture grew at 6.6% in 2010-11.

 

GDP arising from the industrial sector showed very strong growth of 11.3% in the first quarter of 2010-11. In the second quarter of 2010-11, growth in GDP arising from industry declined to 8.9%. The principal factor that governed this change was the sharp drop in manufacturing GDP growth from 13% in the first quarter to 9.8% in the second.

 

In its Economic Outlook for 2011-12, Government of India has pegged the India's GDP growth rate at 8.2% as compared to 8.5% registered last year. Agriculture sector is estimated to grow at 3.0%

Outlook

World plastic pipe demand is forecast to increase 7.3% annually to 20.3 million tons in 2015. More than two-thirds of all plastic pipe demand generated during the 2010-2015 period will be attributable to the Asia-Pacific region.

 

India's burgeoning middleclass is driving the demand for plastic and plastic products and today the sector is one of the fastest growing in the Indian economy. In terms of polymers, India is a small country, consuming only 4 kilograms per capita, but things are changing. Going forward, India is poised to be one of the top five polymer consumers worldwide by the end of the decade. In that period, India's per capita polymer consumption is expected to increase to 20 kilograms.

 

That type of growth would produce annual polymer consumption of 12.5 billion kgs. India's average growth rate in  etrochemicals has been between 12 and 13 percent, almost double the rate of the overall economy and shows that the industry has good prospects for the future. From a base of 6500 processing machines in 1979-80, the plastic processing industry has expanded four times to a size of more than 26000 machines. At present extrusion process accounts for nearly 70% of plastics processing, while injection and blow moulding account for 20% and 5 % respectively. (Source:

India is an agro based economy. The government policies have been laid down for supporting the debt striven farmers by way of incentive of additional one per cent interest subvention to farmers who repay short-term crop loans as per schedule, increased to 2% for 2010-11. Also it has been directed to banks for meeting the targets set for agriculture credit flow to the tune of Rs. 3750 billion during 2010-11. The Govt. of India has increased the annual budget allocation under the Rajiv Gandhi

Drinking Water Mission from Rs.65 billion to Rs.74 billion in the previous Union Budget 2009-10. For the Eleventh Five Year Plan, the Govt. of India is aiming to add 16 million hectares of irrigational facilities, entailing an investment of Rs.1,580 billion.

 

The demand for Pipes in agricultural sector will increase in leaps and bounds because of various Government policies and reforms. Hence, there is an ample opportunity for companies in agricultural product section. Similarly, the government policies of continuing tax benefits on housing loan and increasing number of residential complex, shopping malls, construction of hospitals and growth in tourism will give a boost to companies related to construction products

 

It is a requirement to provide potable water to several areas of the country, as also improve sanitation and develop housing construction at low cost. Plastics play a key role in all these segments, which can improve the quality of life of a majority of the country's population. The Company is a prominent supplier of piping system to provide solutions in all these segments.

 

In India, gains will outpace the global average, benefiting from ongoing infrastructure development. Economic growth will create demand for plastic pipe in networks for telecommunications and in residential home building applications. Ongoing efforts across these regions to upgrade water treatment systems will boost demand for plastic pipe used for potable water delivery, rain water harvesting, waste water management and in drainage and sewage applications. Finally, demand will also benefit from the expansion of natural gas distribution networks

 

The company is thriving to increase its efficiency in operation, expansion of product range and organic growth in marketing thereby building sustainable competitiveness. The next geographical growth target is Gujarat, Delhi and Northern India, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamilnadu. A separate team is made to grab the various state government tenders.

The Company believes that this range of products would allow its existing customers to source most of their product requirements from a single vendor and also enable it to expand its business from existing customers, as well as address a larger base of potential new customers

 

Flexible and Scalable Production Facilities

The Management believes that the flexibility and scalability of the Company's existing production facilities will help it meet increased demand for its products. The scalability of the Company's existing facilities enables it to increase its production capacity through the installation of new equipment and production lines. For example, the Company can increase the capacity to produce its PVC pipes and fittings by upgrading critical equipment such as screws/barrels and gear boxes, or if greater capacity enhancement is required, by adding new extruders. The Company's flexible manufacturing facilities enable it to produce a wide range of products with different specifications, such as PVC / PE pipes with different diameters and working pressure ranges and processed and dehydrated fruits and vegetables using different organic feedstock. This flexibility assists the Company in meeting the specific demands of its customers and reducing the impact of seasonal changes in production volumes for specific products.

Further, the Company has a strong local sales force, which together with the management team gives the Company an excellent understanding of the needs of the domestic customers.

 

 

Future Strategic Directions

 

Government allocation for Irrigation segment on the rise

 

Few years back, the Indian government initiated an Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) to propel irrigation growth in India. For quicker implementation, the government also made an allocation for AIBP in the Union Budget. Over the past five years, budgeted allocation for the programme has increased at a whopping rate. For FY2010, the government has allocated over Rs. 400,000 millions for AIBP. Even if a paltry 5% of the total allocation is utilized for micro and drip irrigation, it provides a good opportunity for irrigation players like the company in the country.

 

Assessing the need and potential of Micro/Drip Irrigation (Ml) in India

 

The surface method of irrigation is the oldest and most widely used method wherein a stream is diverted from the source to the field through furrows and borders, allowing it to flow across the slope by gravity. However, over 60-70% of the water released from the source is lost on the way due to evaporation, seepage and conveyance losses, thus achieving only 30-40% water efficiency. Conversely, Ml techniques like sprinklers and drip irrigation are more efficient. Drip irrigation has achieved 80-90% efficiency levels.

 

The need of the hour is not only to economize water usage in agriculture but also to bring more land under irrigation, reduce costs of irrigation and increase the yield per unit area. Micro Irrigation techniques offer a solution to these issues and indirectly also helps to reduce costs and improve productivity.

 

The Drip irrigation technique, on account of the controlled application of water, helps to maintain the soil moisture close to the field capacity thus aiding growth and yield. The favorable growing condition aided by drip irrigation helps crops mature earlier than the traditional methods. Substantial increase in yield has been witnessed in different crops using drip irrigation.

 

Drip irrigation not only aids improvement in yield, but also helps reduce usage of fertilizers and saves water. High crude oil prices and reliance on fertilizer imports has been burdening the government on account of the high subsidies extended to the Fertilizer sector. Given the recent surge in crude oil prices leading to higher fertilizer prices, the fertilizer subsidy is envisaged at around Rs.1,200,000 millions. Hence, higher acreage in India needs to come under micro irrigation, which will improve productivity and reduce fertilizer usage in turn reducing the fertilizer subsidy burden on the government.

 

Increasing importance of irrigation, and the potential and need of micro irrigation in the country has seen us to gearing up to capitalize and meet the challenges of the unfolding opportunity in this space.

 

Roof Water Harvesting

 

In India, one of the major problem is availability of drinking water sources. Awareness has to be created among people about conservation of water and one of the best available means is roof water harvesting. Its importance can be visualized from this fact that 1000 Itr. of rainfall is quite enough to fill borewell upto 5-6 Itr. Various research studies have analyzed that conservation of water in borewell might lead to increase water level by 40%. Please note that if 100 cm (40 inch) of rainfall water falls on roof with area of 1000 sq. ft, then by applying roof water harvesting will save approx. 1 lakh Itr. Of from wastage, which otherwise would have been drained and after that, it can be send to borewell through proper piping systems for use for drinking purpose.

 

Expansion of product range

 

The Company's existing product portfolio comprises of PVC pipes and fittings, Moulded fittings, PVC casing and screen pipes(CMC Pipe), ASTM plumbing pipes and fittings, elastometric sealing pipes, LLDPE pipes and fittings, HOPE pipes and fittings, Sprinkler Systems, Drip irrigation System and SWR pipes and fittings. The Company further plans to expand its product range by venturing into the manufacturing of CPVC pipes, Column submersible pipes, flat inline drip irrigation system, mini sprinkler, soluble fertilizer, crates, chairs, furniture and brass fittings.

 

Increasing geographical reach

 

The Company plans to increase its customer base in its existing domestic markets and expand its business to new geographic locations viz. Gujarat, Assam, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttranchal, Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka, interiors of West Bengal etc. The Company plans to do this by utilising its marketing skills and further expanding customer satisfaction by meeting orders in hand on timely basis and maintaining its client relationships.

 

Expansion of customer base

 

The Company intends to cater to its customers in the macro-irrigation sector, sprinkler irrigation, lift irrigation and construction sector by expanding its product range in HOPE pipes, LLDPE pipes and injection-moulded items.

 

Strengthen Relationship with Clients

 

The Company believes in maintaining long term relationships with its clients. The Company endeavors developing relationship with its clients not only in terms of increased sales but also in terms of varied offerings in the Company's product mix. The Company aims to achieve this by adding value to its client service through quality, speed and reliability of its product delivery and resolution of various customer queries and complaints.

 

Maintaining cost competitiveness

 

The Company seeks to be a cost-competitive, high quality producer and is focused on maintaining its cost competitiveness in the domestic market. There are plans to further increase productivity and production while reducing costs by continuing to invest in new equipment, improving the material management system to minimize wastage and production losses, improving the working capital cycle to reduce the interest costs, refinancing the higher cost debt with lower interest debt and exploring ways to use the waste produced etc.

 

Focus on liquidity and reduction of finance cost

 

With growing businesses, not only in value and volume terms, but also geographically, managing finance is becoming more and more critical. On a continuous basis the Company is focused on having the limits and facilities available to fund their future growth plan. They are equally focused on bringing their interest cost down by changing the borrowing mix in line with change in the market dynamics.

 

Financial and Operating Performance:

 

The total income of the Company for the year 2010-11 was Rs.1591.900 Millions compared to Rs.1011.117 l Millions during the previous year i.e. an increase of 57.44% (Previous year 36.84%). The operating profit (PBDIT) for the Company has increased to Rs.184.130 Millions during the year as against Rs.169.404 Millions for the previous year i.e. increase by 8.69% (Previous year 144.96%). The earning per share (EPS) during the current year has reduced to Rs. 0.91 per share from Rs. 5.03 per share during the last financial year. The Company expects to earn increased revenues to improve the earnings in the near future. The overall capacity utilization has increased from 54% to approx. 60%.

 

The Company's working capital facilities with the banks have increased during the year from Rs.480.000 Millions to Rs. 650.000 Millions. In the prevailing circumstances, the Company has managed the interest cost reasonably well. The Company enjoys excellent relations with its Bankers and has been able to negotiate various banking facilities favourably. The Company has also got sanction during the year a DPG limit of Rs.45.000 Millions from Punjab National bank and equipment lease financing from private financial institutions to the tune of  Rs.20.500 Millions.

 

 

The interest cost for the year is on higher side in absolute terms. The net interest charges increased by 80% in the current year as compared to previous year, mainly due to the increase in Prime Lending Rate (PLR) and Base Rate (BR) issued by the Reserve Bank of India and additional fund raising planning of the Company.

 

The increase in debtors is commensurate to increase in sales. Net sales in last quarter was about 40% of total sales for the year. Sundry debtors in terms of number of days sales has come down to 146 days as compared to 156 days in previous year in spite of change in product mix e.g. higher sales mix of Micro Irrigation in total sales which has longer collection cycle compared to other products. The Company is planning for bill discounting and incentive schemes to improve efficiency in receivable holding in next financial year
