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.

PERFORMANCE

 

For the year 2011-12, the Company reported annual sales revenue of Rs. 6430.700 Millions against Rs. 5700.800 Millions recorded in 2010-11 registering an increase of 12.80%. This increase in sales could be achieved due to increase in production volumes and widening product range with focus on value added products. The Company recorded an Operating Profit (PBIDT) of Rs. 474.700. Millions and Profit After Tax of Rs. 731.000 Millions with respective growth of 33.98% and 137% over the previous year. The increase in interest cost is mainly due to higher current asset levels in the form of higher inventory and receivables due to the monsoon failure and other market conditions. The cash profits for the year were 383.500 Millions as compared to Rs. 282.000 Millions during the previous year.

 

PLANT OPERATIONS

 

The Company's Srikakulam's Technical Unit achieved an Annual production of 5307 MT during the year compared to 4335 MT of the previous year. The plant at Srikakulam has been stable since May, 2011 after the labour issues were settled. Since then production has been steadily improving. Debottlenecking was done for

few plants by investing about Rs.40.000 Millions.

 

The continued focus on streamlining the production facilities, augmenting the plant efficiencies and enhance the productivity during the year have started yielding results.

 

The Ethakota and Shadnagar formulating units continued to be normal as well and could meet the demand of domestic customer base. Various initiatives in the areas of production volume increase, quality control and supply chain have been taken to meet the enhanced marketing demand and effective / better customer services. However, rising input costs, erratic and irregular power supply from Electricity Boards, Rupee depreciation, manpower attrition etc. are the causes of concern.

 

FIRE INCIDENT IN SRIKAKULAM PLANT

 

As the Shareholders are aware, a fire was broke out in the block -5 of the Company’s plant at Srikakulam on 30th June, 2012. Although, there were no casualties, 19 people who sustained minor injuries, were treated in nearby hospitals and discharged within 5 days. The safety mechanisms and systems in place had helped to keep the injuries to a minimum. The unfortunate incident drew extensive media coverage resulting panic reaction by the nearby villagers. The concerned Government Authorities such as Inspectorate of Factories, Pollution Control Board and RDO, have issued necessary orders. The main reason for the fire is being investigated by Factories Department. The Company has initiated various measures towards meeting the additional requirements /compliances of the said Government authorities and improving upon various safety measures. The management is confident of the addressing the concerns of all stakeholders viz: local villagers, public, employees / laborers, Government Authorities etc. and hopeful to restart the operations at the earliest.

 

DOMESTIC AND EXPORT MARKETS

 

The Indian Agrichemical market continues to be under pressure due to significant drop in rabi acre ages in certain parts of the country coupled with excess availability of product. The local pesticide industry in general is stuck in a spiraling loop of falling price realizations, inability to pass on increased input cost, tough competition, credit problems and stock returns. The delayed monsoon in the previous year has also joined impacting the crops particularly in South India. This resulted in the Company's domestic sale reducing from Rs. 3311.000 Millions to Rs. 3165.700 Millions in the year.

 

Towards focusing on farmers reach and touch, Marketing and Product Development department has been strengthened. The Company has also initiated discussions with different leading International Manufacturers to introduce new products into India. Exports have shown significant improvement compared to the previous year, mainly due to stabilization of the Srikakulam plant. The Sales has increased from Rs. 1585.900 Millions to Rs. 2080.400 Millions in the year. Contract (toll) manufacturing continues to be an important aspect of the Srikakulam production. The output is being increased in a few products due to increased demand, by debottlenecking. Relationship continues to be good with the Contract Manufacturing Customers. Work has commenced on selecting new products to offer to various existing and new customers.

 

WINDMILLS

 

The Company has 3 windmills having a total capacity of 6.3 MW, located near Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu. The operations of these are managed by M/s Suzlon Limited. The performance of the Windmills for the year was satisfactory. During the year under review, receivables from TNEB, who purchase the entire power generated as per the terms of the PPA, have been delaying their payments. The Industry has taken up the matter with TNEB

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The Agrochemicals Industry plays a significant role in the Agriculture sector in India, which accounts for about one fifth of its GDP. The domestic market size of the Indian Agrochemical Industry is around Rs. 120000.000 Millions and is expected to grow at 10 % per annum. India's growth rate compares with the highest in the world. With emphasis in agriculture by the Government of India the growth is expected to continue. India is currently the fourth largest producer of Agrochemicals globally, after United States, Japan and China. The current domestic consumption is also expected to grow driven by rising population, decreasing per capita availability of arable land and focus on increasing agricultural yield. The demand will also be driven by the rising food grain demand and increasing awareness about pesticide usage among the farmer community. The pesticide consumption is around 480 gm per hectare which is very low compared to countries like Japan, USA etc.

 

The Indian market is served by many Companies. Being a generic market, ability to introduce me-too products is easy. Many small players have seized this and have a influencing presence in the market space. This has resulted in stiff competition and quality being compromised. Despite this, the attractiveness of the Indian market has made MNCs to set up shops in India over the past few years, through commencing business / acquisitions viz Maktisham Agan, Sumitomo and Arysta. Existing MNCs are implementing plans to grow. It is also to be noted that the Government is becoming active in reviewing products that have high toxicity levels. This has resulted in products being banned. Contract Manufacturing and Exports in India is around USD 1.8 Billions. Phillips MacDonald (a leading global publication in the pesticide industry) has indicated that the contract manufacturing is expected to grow, as MNCs are focusing on growth in the generic markets as new product developments is becoming more expensive.

 

OPPORTUNITIES

 

The growing requirement of agricultural products in India is a major opportunity. Having a good pan India presence through the large network of dealers and channel partners, the Company is in a position to seize the opportunities for growing in India. The growing presence of more MNC should bring in more discipline in the mid to long run in the markets which augurs well for the Industry. India is also a fast becoming a destination for contract manufacturing of generic pesticides by many Multinationals. This is due to the cost advantages and the technical skills available in the country. The Company is one of the leading players in this field. As per a study by Task Force, Government of India, the Export and Contract Manufacturing market opportunity by 2020 is USD 7.3 billon. India has the opportunity to leverage on its strength to become a major player in this space. Many of the AI's (Active Ingredient) used in India are being imported from China. China is going through a phase of tightening its manufacturing facilities through introducing tougher pollution conditions. The Chinese currency Yuan is also appreciating thereby making imports into India costlier. This gives an opportunity for India to produce AIs and to be competitive in the global markets. Keeping the above in view, the Company is gearing up to meet these opportunities through strategies which will leverage its strength in the pan India dealer network and by introducing new formulations in collaborations with MNCs. It is also implementing various initiatives for improving its productivity and capacity utilisation in its plants to seize the Contract Manufacturing opportunities.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The pesticide business, despite the above concerns is an attractive business. There are many short term challenges for growth. The Company is implementing various plans to leverage on its domestic network strength and as well as improving the efficiencies and productivity of the manufacturing facilities.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE)

 

The Sale has shown a growth of 13% over the previous year mainly due to Exports. The EBIDT was Rs. 744.300 Millions and has improved from last year of Rs. 554.400 Millions due to improved sales. Interest was higher than previous year due to increase in working capital. The Long Term Debt Equity Ratio is 0.29 compared to 0.46 of the last year. The Company's improved financial and operations performance during 2011-12 and the positive outlook about the Company's continued growth in the years to come enabled the Board to recommend a dividend of 15% to the Shareholders.
