INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

DEMERGER OF CEMENT DIVISION

 

The Board, shareholders and creditors of Orient Paper and Industries Limited (OPIL) have approved a scheme for demerger of the Cement Undertaking of OPIL to Orient Cement Limited. OPIL and Orient Cement Limited have filed applications in Court seeking sanction for such demerger, which is now pending final hearing.

 

 

ECONOMIC CLIMATE AND PERFORMANCE

 

There has been a perceptible slow down in the Indian economy with GDP growth coming down to below 7% for the year as against over 8% growth achieved during past several years.  While slow-down in International economy caused by Euro zone crisis must have also contributed to this, they believe that internal factors like slow pace of infrastructure development, high inflation, unprecedented increases in prices of vital input like coal and power, credit squeeze applied by RBI and general lack of policy direction were the major factors in bringing down the rate of growth.

 

However, India still continues to be one of the fastest growing economies of the world and they hope that the Government will take effective and pro-active steps to restore the growth momentum to above 8% soon.

 

It is a matter of satisfaction that even in the face of these challenges, they were able to achieve a growth of 27 % in their net sales turnover and 48 % in their net profit after tax.

 

Domestic cement demand grew by 6.6% during the year due to the good growth recorded during 2nd half of the year. However, there was no growth in the Southern region, mainly because of negative growth of -8% in Andhra Pradesh. They were however able to increase their cement sales volumes by 8% and gain market share in their core markets. They could also achieve a capacity utilisation of 77% compared to the industry average of 68% in South and West, where their plants are located. In spite of huge pressure on their costs because of factors totally beyond their control, they were also able to increase their PBIT from cement business by 62% through a combination of higher volumes, better product and market mix and cost reduction efforts.

 

Because of slow-down in construction activities, overall demand for Fans also came down by 2.8% compared to previous year. However, they were still able to achieve a 5.6% growth in their Fan volumes through introduction of new and exciting models and increasing their distribution reach. In lighting products, they increased their sales volumes by 38 % and introduced several new SKUs. Towards the end of this financial year, they also launched a wide range of household electrical appliances. Overall their electrical division achieved a growth of 18 % in net sales turnover for the year. Also, they were able to achieve similar profitability level in this division as the preceding year in spite of substantial cost and competitive pressures.

 

In their paper division also, they were able to increase their Paper volumes by 22 % in spite of 43 days shut down in the 1st quarter due to water scarcity and loss of 5 days output in December due to a minor fire incident in the power plant. Paper volume could have still been higher but for frequent break-down of their aging power plant. The Chemical plant performed satisfactorily.

 

However, there were unprecedented increases in prices of pulp wood, coal and power which resulted in substantially increased losses from this business. Going forward, they expect this division’s performance to improve once the new 55 MW power plant, now nearing completion, gets commissioned as it will not only bring down the cost of energy but will also contribute towards stabilizing operations. They also do not expect any water scarcity related shut down in 2012-13 as there is adequate water available in their water reservoirs. The proportion of value added Tissue papers is also expected to increase as the additional rewinder for the 2nd Tissue machine is now fully operational.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

 

1. OVERALL ECONOMY

 

There has been a perceptible slow down in the Indian economy with GDP growth coming down to below 7% for the year. Infrastructure development has not kept pace with expectations.

 

Rampant inflation and escalating cost of vital industrial inputs such as Coal, power and freight etc have also caused severe strain on the economy.

 

Credit squeeze and tight monetary policies adopted by RBI do not appear to have neither controlled inflation nor helped growth.

 

Slow-down in International economy caused by Euro zone crisis also contributed to poor market sentiments.

 

Coupled with lack of clear policy direction and minimal progress on the reforms process, these factors have changed the investment climate from being optimistic to cautionary.  

                                               

However, India still continues to be one of the fastest growing economies of the world and hope that the Government will take effective and pro-active steps soon to restore the growth momentum to above 8%.

 

On their part, they continue to strongly believe in the India growth story and feel that in spite of these temporary problems, Indian economy will soon return to a healthier growth path. Accordingly, they continue to pursue aggressive growth targets for all their businesses.

 

 

2. Segment-wise business analysis

 

2.1 Business segment – cement 2.1.1. Industry structure and development

 

Thanks to a pick-up in demand in 2nd half of the year, domestic cement demand, which had a dismal growth of only 3% in 1st half, could register a growth of 6.6% for the year.

 

However, cement demand in Southern region recorded no growth at all mainly because of a negative growth of -8% in Andhra Pradesh. It will be recalled that Andhra Pradesh had registered a negative growth of -

15% in the preceding year as well.

 

Capacity additions also slowed down with only 11 million tons of new capacities being commissioned during the year. With these additions, the total capacity of the Indian cement industry stood at over 300 million tons as at the end of March 2012.

 

Still, capacity utilisation on an all- India basis continued to be around 77% because of slower than expected growth in demand. The southern region was affected even more with capacity utilisation of plants in the region coming down to as low as 63%.

 

Simultaneously, the industry had to again contend with steep statutory increases in cost of most major inputs such as coal, power, fly ash etc. Logistics costs also increased significantly.

 

However, particularly due to improved demand for cement during 2nd half of the year, cement prices improved and remained generally firm.

 

Segmental review and analysis

 

They sold 3.782 millions tons of cement during the year against 3.497 millions tons last year. However, they reduced their clinker sales to only 0.052 million tons against 0.143 million tons last year.

 

Thus they achieved 8% growth in volumes against 5 % growth by the industry in Southern+ Western region. Their capacity utilization was also higher at 77% against the industry average of 68% in South & West. Consequently, they were able to increase market share in both their primary markets of Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.

They were also able to maintain a better proportion of blended cement in their product mix at 73% compared to industry average of 47% in Andhra Pradesh, 69% in Maharashtra and 68% nationally.

 

As with the entire cement industry, they also faced significant cost pressures because of steep increases in prices of coal, fly ash and packaging material etc. Logistics costs also increased, particularly after the rail freight hike in the last quarter of the financial year.

 

However, their continuous efforts towards reducing costs and improving efficiencies enabled us to achieve best-in-class benchmarks in terms of manufacturing as well as distribution costs. For example they further improved on their power and fuel consumptions and also started using alternative fuels and in-house production of gypsum from waste materials. These initiatives helped us to partly offset the cost increases due to external factors mentioned

above.

 

Their new 50 MW power plant also stabilized and enabled us to meet most of their power requirement for Devapur plant and insulated us against the large scale power cuts imposed in Andhra Pradesh from time to time.

 

As a result, they have been able to further strengthen their position as one of the lowest cost producers of cement in India.

 

Their sales realisation was also better this year partly because of favourable market situation and also because of better product and market mix achieved by us.

 

These factors contributed towards increase of 33% in net sales turnover of their cement division to from Rs.10332.400 millions last year to Rs.13750.900 millions for the year Their PBIDT also increased by 51% to Rs. 4356.400 millions from Rs.2879.000 millions Last year. Similarly PBIT also improved to Rs.3775.800 millions this year from Rs. 2336.200 millions last year.

 

Outlook

 

As approved by the Board and shareholders of the Company, cement business is proposed to be demerged into an independent company, Orient Cement limited, with effect from 1st April 2012 through a classical demerger scheme under which all shareholders of Orient paper and Industries Limited as on the record date will receive shares of Orient Cement Limited in the ratio of 1:1. This is expected to unlock significant value for their shareholders.

 

While post this demerger, cement business will be reported independently, they wish to share with their existing stakeholders the outlook and plans for their cement business hereunder.

 

They remain hopeful that cement demand in India should increase by between 8%-10% per year during the next few years. Coupled with their continuous efforts to increase market share in their core markets, this should result in steady improvement in capacity utilization of their existing plants. Several initiatives towards further efficiency

improvements are also in the process.

 

They have also been able to synchronise their captive power plant with the grid and have obtained approval for sale of surplus power generated by us. Sale of surplus power is expected to commence from May 2012. This will enable us to run their power plant at full capacity thereafter.

 

Land acquisition for their proposed green field 3 million tons per year cement plant in Gulbarga district of Karnataka has reached an advanced stage. They have also obtained an inprinciple environmental approval. They propose to place orders for equipment and construction during the 1st half of FY 12-13.

 

While sales realisation will depend upon market forces, they are confident that Orient’s cement business will be able to maintain its cost leadership. Coupled with expected increase in capacity utilisation of the existing facilities

and the expansion plans already in hand, they believe that Orient cement will have a bright future and continue to delight all its stake holders.

 

Business segment – Paper 

Industry structure and development

 

Aggregate Paper demand in India is estimated to be growing at around 6%. However, growth in demand for packaging boards, coated paper and tissue paper has been much higher, while in writing and printing segment it has been lower. They estimate growth in Tissue paper segment to be as high as around 20%.

 

During the year, there was no significant capacity addition in the Writing and Printing segment from integrated pulp and paper mills. However, significant capacities had been added in this segment in the last two years, which came into full production this year. This has resulted into over-capacity writing and printing paper for the present.

 

Globally, pulp and paper prices also softened due to poor demand from Europe and USA. Therefore export realisations were also not attractive. Withdrawal of DEPB scheme and its replacement with lower rates of duty

draw back scheme also proved to be a deterrent in encouraging exports. Combined result of the above factors resulted into lower price realization from the writing and printing paper segment and affected market

Sentiments.

 

At the same time, pulp wood prices increased substantially because of limited availability to meet increased demand from new capacities. This was in spite of major efforts made by the organised paper industry over the years to increase plantations through social and farm forestry schemes. Social and farm forestry, in the context of small land holdings in India, obviously imposes limitations on mass scale plantations required to meet needs of the paper industry. That is why the industry has been making repeated representations to the authorities for Public- Private Partnership in large scale plantations on huge tracts of degraded forest lands and/or revenue waste lands, which can be put to productive use and create significant employment opportunities in rural areas.

 

Apart from pulpwood availability and costs, recent unprecedented increases in price of coal in the garb of rationalization and re-grading have added to the woes of paper industry. As a result of lower realisation and increasing costs, margins for the entire paper industry in India remained under severe pressure throughout the year.  A redeeming feature has been the robust growth in Tissue paper demand and reasonable price realisation in that segment.

 

Segmental review and analysis

 

In spite of 43 days of plant shut down in the 1st quarter due to water scarcity and another 5 days lost due to a minor fire in the power plant, they could increase their paper production by 22% to 64193 tons during the year as against 52534 tons in the preceding year. Production volume could have been still higher but for frequent break-downs of their aging power plant.

 

They were also able to increase the proportion of the more remunerative tissue papers in their Product Mix from 20.4 % last year to 25.6 % during the year . Quality of their tissue papers has found wide acceptance in the global market and they have been successful in developing regular exports to UK, USA, France, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Philippines, East Africa, Nigeria and the Middle east countries.

 

Their net sales turnover from Paper division increased by 20% from Rs.2773.600 millions last year to Rs. 3337.500 millions during the year .Although they could also achieve  some improvements in efficiencies, steep escalation in costs of pulpwood, coal, power and chemicals could not be compensated. Additionally, Madhya

Pradesh Government imposed electricity duty and cess of a whopping 87 paisa per unit of power generated by captive power plants. This additional burden had to be borne only by us in the Indian paper industry.

 

As a result even after increase in volumes and turnover, their PBIDT loss from the division increased to Rs. 415.300 millions from Rs. 84.200 millions last year. Loss before interest and tax was higher at Rs. 620.100 millions as against Rs. 281.600 millions last year.

 

In order to address the rising cost of pulp wood, they have been laying increasing emphasis on development and plantation of clonal saplings, which ensure better survival and faster growth. Their clonal plantations increased to 4.50 million this year as against 3.65 million in the previous year and covered 1808 hectares during the year against 1448 hectares last year. The benefits from these increased plantations are expected to accrue in the coming years.

 

As informed earlier, they are building a new and efficient 55 MW power plant in order to address high energy costs, which is one of the major cost   constituents in production of paper, caustic and chlorine. This power plant will not only meet their total requirement for the division and will also substantially reduce their coal and energy costs. It will also have over 15 MW surplus capacity for sale of power. The new power plant should also be exempt from electricity duty as per M.P. Government’s declared industrial policy. The project is already in advanced stage of completion and is expected to be operational by the 2nd quarter of FY 2012-13.

 

Outlook – Amlai plant

 

The new power plant, expected to be commissioned shortly, should substantially reduce costs and also facilitate uninterrupted operations of the paper plant. It will also open up opportunities for capacity expansion and / or income from export of power.

 

The additional rewinder of Tissue Machine 2 has started yielding results. Some modifications and adjustments have recently been made to improve productivity of this machine with the objective of further enriching their product mix.

 

Water scarcity related shut down should henceforth be minimal, if at all.

 

Based upon all these factors, they believe that operational performance will improve and the division will return to good health.

 

Business segment – Electricals

Industry structure and development Fans

 

Because of slow down in construction activities, the Indian fan industry registered a de-growth of - 2.8% compared to the previous year.

 

It has indeed been a long time since the industry saw a year of de-growth Most organised players in the Indian fan industry have reported lower volumes than the previous year.

 

Orient is one of only two companies to have achieved positive growth during the year.

 

Ceiling fans constituted around 74% of the total demand for fans with table, pedestal, exhaust and industrial fans accounting for the balance.

 

Costs for the industry always remain under pressure because of fluctuations in prices of commodities

like copper, aluminium, paints etc.

 

On the other hand, Fan industry remains highly competitive with several organised players and a number of relatively smaller regional producers. It is therefore not possible always to pass on these increased costs to the market.

 

Therefore, successful players not only need to continuously achieve higher volumes but also to reduce costs through regular value engineering, while maintaining quality and product innovations to attract customer preference.

 

Lighting

 

The lighting industry in India is estimated have grown by 15% during the year with CFLs and Luminaires growing by 21% and 20% respectively.

 

With power tariffs increasing and growing awareness on energy conservation, CFLs and energy efficient Luminaires are becoming increasingly popular.

 

Orient entered Lighting business 3 Household electrical appliances Orient has entered this line of business for the first time just before last quarter of the financial year . The products covered by this segment include water heaters, air coolers, mixers/ grinders/ juicers, electric irons, kettles, toasters etc. 

 

The Indian market for these appliances is estimated to be worth Rs. 52000.000 millions and is estimated to be growing at the rate of around 12% per year. The market is being catered by about a dozen medium and large

volume players.

 

With changing life styles and growing nuclear families, usage of these appliances is bound to grow rapidly and therefore this business presents a good potential for Orient’s growth.

 

Segment review and analysis

Fans

They achieved growth of 5.3% in their fan volumes as against a negative growth of -2.8% in the industry as a whole. Obviously, this has been possible through increase in their market share across the entire product range.

 

They introduced a number of new and exciting models, which have been greatly appreciated by the customers. Simultaneously, they also further strengthened their distribution network to extend their market reach and penetration.

 

As a result sales of their fans increased to 6.925 millions units during the year from 6.548 millions units in the previous year.

 

While cost escalations arising out of frequent increase in commodity prices continued to put pressure on margins, they could offset part of the same by reduction in costs through concentrated actions on optimisation

in all areas.

 

In this effort, they have also engaged the services of one of the most reputed International consulting organisation. While part of benefits from this initiative has been captured within the year , further benefits are expected to be derived in the coming year.

 

Lighting

 

They could achieve a growth of 44% in sales volume to reach 1.25 million units this year as against 87 lac units

in the previous year.

 

Their market share has thus increased from 3.3% last year to 4.2% during the year .

 

Apart from introducing several new SKUs, they have further increased their distribution reach and penetration across the Country.

 

Household appliances While they have just introduced this product range in limited markets, they are highly encouraged by the initial response from customers and dealers alike.

 

Within a limited period of less than four months and restricted markets in which these products have been test marketed, they have been able to achieve sales of over fifty one thousand appliances.

 

They therefore see a good avenue for growth in this large market.

 

Overall

 

Net sales turnover of the division increased by 18% to Rs. 7636.100 millions from Rs.6483.700 millions in the previous year.

 

In spite of the cost escalations and initial expenditure on introduction of new product ranges, they could maintain similar level of PBIDT at Rs. 600.300 millions compared to Rs.619.800 millions in the previous year.

 

Outlook

Fans

Their fan division continues to achieve increasing share in the domestic market. A spate of new products

introduced during last year and those in the pipe line should enable us to

further strengthen their competitive edge.

 

They also expect their export volumes to grow significantly based upon the response from their existing markets and as well as new territories being focused upon. New models specially designed for export markets will help

in the process.

 

They have significantly increased their media spend including television, outdoor and print media. A new campaign has recently been launched and is being appreciated by the market. The brand recall is excellent.

 

Their capacity already stands expanded to Rs.0.900 millions fans per year and they hope to achieve full utilisation of this capacity in the next couple of years.

 

Company’s overall performance

and analysis

 

Sales and profit

 

Their gross sales increased from Rs.21750.000 millions in 2010-11 to Rs. 27640.000 millions in 2011-12, while net sales increased from Rs.19590.000 millions to Rs.24910.000 millions

 

Despite challenges of cost escalations and poor performance of their paper business, they achieved profit before depreciation and interest of Rs.4490.000 millions for the year against Rs. 3330.000 millions in the previous year.

 

Net profit before tax also increased similarly from Rs. 2090.000 millions in the preceeding year to Rs. 3180.000 millions for the year .

 

Net profit after tax (after deferred tax provision of Rs.108.800 millions) was Rs.2120.000 millions this year against Rs.1430.000 millions last year.

 

This translates to an EPS of ` 10.94 and cash EPS of ` 16.06 for the year as against ` 7.42 and ` 12.94 respectively for the preceding year.  They invested Rs. 2724.800 millions on capital projects during the year mostly out of internal generation.

 

The financial position of the Company continues to be fairly strong with their debt equity ratio at 0.25:1 and the DSCR of 5.57.

 

They believe that the Company has initiated a number of concrete steps in each of its businesses to unleash significant value through not only demerger of the cement business but also to achieve accelerated growth through diversification and expansion in the electricals and paper businesses as well.
