PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

2011-12 being the year was a year of recovery interrupted. In the year 2010-11 the challenges were many, but there was a sense that the world economy was on the mend and there was glimmer of hope. But reality turned out to be different. The sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone intensified, political turmoil in Middle East injected widespread uncertainty, crude oil prices rose, an earthquake struck Japan and the overall gloom refused to lift. Now India is a global economy and they will be misled if they ignore the ground realities of the world. The global crisis has affected India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) adversely. There is a significant slowdown in comparison to the preceding two years, primarily due to deceleration in industrial growth, more specifically in private investment. Rising cost of credit and weak domestic business sentiment, added to this decline. Though India has been able to limit the adverse impact of this slowdown on their economy, this year's economic performance has been disappointing. The Indian rupee depreciated significantly against the US Dollar marking a new risk for Indian economy. Till the beginning of the year under review very few had expected Rupee to depreciate with most hinting towards either appreciation or status quo in the rupee levels. Those few who had even anticipated may not have imagined the scale of depreciation with rupee touching a new low of around Rs. 54 per US Dollar.

 

Despite all odds year was a satisfactory year for the company. The Company continued its dominance in all its business segments and further increased its market share. Gross Income rose from Rs. 9537.500 Millions to Rs. 12024.000 Millions reflecting a growth of 26%. Profit before Tax and exceptional items (loss on account of foreign exchange difference) increased from Rs. 757.800 Millions to Rs. 761.800 Millions reflecting a growth of 1%. Net Profit after Tax was adversely impacted due to unprecedented loss on account of foreign exchange difference and was Rs. 600.900 Millions compared to Rs. 745.100 Millions in previous year, reflecting a fall of 19%.

 

On consolidated basis also, the Company's operations grew significantly. During the year, the Company achieved Gross Income of Rs. 17847.800 Millions against Rs. 14470.900 Millions during the previous year, reflecting a growth of over 23%. The Net Profit after minority interest and share of loss of associates was Rs. 1227.600 Millions against Rs. 1545.800 Millions in previous year. Fall in profit was primarily due to unprecedented loss on account of foreign exchange difference and sunset of transport subsidy in one of the subsidiary company.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The global economic outlook is still very uncertain, with the risk of a renewed recession in advanced countries and widespread financial crisis growing. Further deterioration of economic crisis cannot be ruled out and it won't be a good news for emerging economies including India. However, they expect current scenario to be a temporary scenario. Considering strong fundamentals India enjoys, India is well positioned to outperform. Despite all odds, it is also a fact that in any cross country comparison, India still remains among the front runners in economic growth. If India can continue to build on its economic strength, it can be a source of stability for the world economy and provide a safe destination for restless global capital.

 

The rupee movement will be dictated by the capital flows and rising current account deficit and will be both ways. Movement in rupee will remain a major concern. Although GAAR and reversal of Vodafone judgement are likely to remain an issue, foreign investment inflow, which gathered pace since the beginning of 2012, is likely to continue. The fact that, despite a slowdown, the Indian economy's expected growth of 7% in 2012-13, will make India much more attractive destination of investment than elsewhere in the world.

 

Provision of quality and efficient infrastructure is essential to accelerate growth and utilize full potential of the emerging Indian economy. In India, escalating infrastructure expenditure is inevitable. The rapid growth of economy has put a lot of strain on infrastructure like road, railways, power, ports, airports, water supply and housing. The pattern of inclusive growth projected for the 11th plan, with GDP growth averaging 9% per annum can be achieved only if this infrastructure deficit is overcome and adequate investment are in place to support the growth. What they need is an improved quality of life for both their urban and rural populace. With the Government's continued focus on infrastructure development, it seems very probable that the country's economic survival will be driven by infrastructure growth, which in turn will accelerate real estate activities.

 

The Indian real estate sector plays a significant role in the country's economy. The real estate sector is second only to agriculture in terms of employment generation and contributes considerably towards GDP. Almost 5% of the country's GDP is contributed by the housing sector, which is expected to rise to 6%. According to the 10th five year plan, there is a shortage of 22.4 million dwelling units. Thus, over the next 10 to15 years 80 to 90 million dwelling units will have to be constructed. According to a study, the real estate market in India is expected to grow rapidly due to improvement in affordability, better job security and availability of housing finance.

 

Since cement, plywood, laminate and steel related products are essential part of construction right from initial brick and mortar stage to final stage of furnishing, the demand for these products is directly related to the growth of infrastructure and real estate sector. With continued government focus on infrastructure and real estate sector the demand for Company's products is expected to remain buoyant. With strong and preferred "Centuryply" brand under its fold, the Company is expected to perform better in current fiscal.

 

 

FUTURE PLANS OF EXPANSION

 

Considering buoyant demand for the products and marketing strength of "Centuryply" brand, the Company has plans for capacity expansions through organic and inorganic routes. The Company is now setting up a green-field plywood unit in Gujarat, production from which is expected in current financial year. The Company is also entering into ready-made furniture business, initially with trading format and two mega show rooms at Kolkata and Bangalore. The Company is also planning to promote a green-field Medium Density Fiber Board and Particle Board Unit in Andhra Pradesh.

 

The Company is continuing its focus on logistic service sector. The two Container Freight Stations (CFS) ofthe Company near Kolkata Port are already operational. The combined capacity of these two CFS is 1,30,000 TEUs per annum, which is almost 2/3rd of total CFS capacity available at Kolkata Port. The Company is exploring further possibilities in logistic service sector.

 

The subsidiaries of the Company are also having ambitious growth plans. CMCL along-with its subsidiaries is expanding its cement manufacturing capacity from 1.20 million MT to 2.80 million MT per annum, with adequate captive power capacity.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The projected growth of Company's products (Plywood, Laminates, Cement and Ferro Alloys) is based on the push-and-pull effects of supply and demand determinants like the economic trends in India, growth of infrastructure and housing.

 

Home is an invention on which no one has yet improved. Of all aspirations known to humankind, owning a home is most basic. It is the basic infrastructure required for development of a country and its citizens. Housing is a highly sensitive investment area throughout the world. Investment in this sector is often recognized as a barometer to measure the health of an economy at any point of time. The extreme sensitivity of the housing sector on the overall economic growth is not difficult to explain. The sector, by the nature, is widely linked with a very large number of manufacturing segments. There are about 250 industries, large and small, which depend on what happens in the housing and construction business. This includes large ones that make cement and steel, medium ones that make plywood, paint, tiles, electrical and the small ones that make nuts and bolts. These linkage effects not only stimulate production and investments in the linked segments of manufacturing, they also push up the aggregate additional income generated in the process. In short, growth in housing stimulates production and overall growth in the economy.

 

In developed countries like United States 72.5% of citizens own their homes. While 69% live in their own homes in the UK. If they aspire to become a developed nation by the year 2020, they must ensure a decent home for each family of their country. According to the 10th five year plan, there is a shortage of 22.4 million dwelling units and over the next 10 to15 years 80 to 90 million housing dwelling units will have to be constructed. According to Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) India's total housing requirement can be estimated at 200-225 million housing units, out of which they have just 170 million. They will have to create additional 30 million to meet gap. Further next 15-20 years will create an additional demand for 70 million houses. So, by year 2020 they are to gear up to build 100 million additional houses. A daunting target, but achievable. It is achievable because almost all Indians have capacity to buy a reasonable home. All Indians, not owning their own home are already paying rent on their accommodation. Even if they are living in slums, they are paying rent to their slumlords. The EMI of housing loan today is either equal or not substantially more than the rent one has to pay for rented house. The rent one pays is an expense that once paid is lost, whereas the EMI is payment for creation of an asset, value of which will multiply with passage of time. Anyone who lives in a rented apartment will be unable to afford rent after 20 years as the rent will keep on increasing year to year. Anyone who acquire house on EMI will have a home of his own by parting with almost same money, but with multifold asset value. Availability of easy home loans at reasonable interest rates has propelled growth of housing. Although rising interest rates may adversely affect housing but that can be considered temporary. In long run housing sector growth is bound to prop.

 

Provision of quality and efficient infrastructure is essential to achieve growth and utilize full potential of the emerging Indian economy. Economic and population growth place additional pressure on existing infrastructure facilities and unless they are developed further to cope growth, they become constraint to development. Hence, given the importance of infrastructure for growth, the 12th plan period has pegged the investment in infrastructure at Rs. 50 trillion. In order to improve the flow of funds to the infrastructure sector, a host of measures are announced in the budget. Tax-free bonds of Rs. 600 billion will be allowed for infrastructure projects in 2012-13, while India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited has established a structure for credit enhancement and take out finance to ease access of credit to various infrastructure projects. One of the primary vehicle of the Government to address infrastructure insufficiencies in the urban areas is the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) whose allocation has almost trebled to Rs. 880 million in 2012-13, as compared to the revised estimate of 2011-12. With the Government's continued focus on infrastructure development, it seems very probable that the county's economic survival will be driven by infrastructure growth.

 

Plywood and Laminate Segment

 

In view of potential growth of housing and infrastructure, the overall demand for Plywood and Laminates is expected to remain buoyant. The Indian plywood and panel market is estimated around Rs. 120000.000 Millions, with expected growth of 15% year on year basis. The market is highly fragmented, with unorganized sector controlling major market share. The organized segment is highly concentrated, with only few players constituting around 30% of the market. The unorganized segment has advantages in terms of excise waivers and other benefits due to their SSI status. In the year 2007-08 the excise duty on plywood related products was reduced by half to 8% and is now pegged at 10%. Narrowing excise differences and the eligibility to claim MODVAT benefits on inputs have put the organized sector not only at par compared to the unorganized sector, but also in an advantageous position due to volume, quality and the brand. Now the growth of organized sector is estimated to be 20-25% compared to the overall market growth of 15%. Organized sector growth will partly come from conversion of some of unorganized sector players as organized sector players.

 

Cheap imported products particularly Chinese products may eat away organized sector market and hence slow down company's growth. Emergence of new organized players will increase competition in organized sector.

 

The Company is India's leading plywood manufacturing Company with a very strong brand image. "CENTURY PLY" - the brand name under which the Company markets its products is known for quality. The Company manufactures entire range of products, catering to different cost segments. Over the years the Company had invested heavily on brand building and maintained customer faith by providing guarantee on its products. The Company could ward off competition from other players and imported products due to these reasons and expect to sustain its growth levels and continue to command market dominance. The Company, with its five existing units (including one of Subsidiary's) and one proposed unit spread over different geographical locations of the country is ready to meet present and future demand of the products across the country with a huge logistical advantage. The Company is prepared to meet increased demand through organic expansions at its existing units and will also be open to inorganic growth through mergers and acquisitions. Future expansions will be synchronized with the demand.

 

Laminate is used to provide aesthetic look to plywood. Its market scenario goes along-with plywood market scenario. Like plywood, Company is aspiring to achieve utmost customer confidence for its laminates and as such is focusing more on quality then quantity. The 100% capacity expansion of laminate division already in progress and expected to be operational within current financial year.

 

 

Ferro Alloy

 

In view of potential growth of housing and infrastructure, the overall demand for Ferro Alloy which is one of the ingredients of steel is expected to remain buoyant.

 

Ferro Alloy market is dependent on steel market and witnessed short cycles of boom and bust, which can happen more than once in one financial year. During boom period demand is at peak and industry makes handsome profit. When demand dampens the price of product comes down and it becomes unviable to keep production on.

 

The company's ferro alloy unit is situated in Meghalaya, where there is abundant availability of raw material. The only problem which can disrupt production is availability of power, as production process of ferro alloy is highly power intensive and supply of power in Meghalaya is not comfortable. In order to combat this problem, the Company has installed a captive power plant to ensure un-interrupted production. When the demand of ferro alloy dampens, the company stops ferro alloy production and start to sell power generated out of its captive power unit. This helps Company to recover its overheads and ensure overall yearly performance of the ferro alloy division.

 

 

Cement

 

In view of potential growth of housing and infrastructure, the overall demand for Cement, which is basic to any construction project, is expected to remain tilted towards demand.

 

The Company's major subsidiary Cement Manufacturing Company Limited (CMCL), along with its subsidiaries, has the cement and clinker units situated at Lumshnong in Meghalaya. CMCL sells its cement under the brand name 'STAR CEMENT'. STAR CEMENT is today the leading and the highest selling cement brand in the North Eastern part ofthe country. This unit has the advantage of its own captive lime stone mines and is situated at a close proximity of large reserves of coal at a distance of only 25 kms. CMCL's lime stone mines has reserves of 300 Million Tonnes, enough to meet all its' raw material requirements (based on expanded capacity) for the next 70 years. The unit is also entitled to various fiscal incentives as per the North East policy of the Central Government and the State Government. The unit uses state of the art dry process rotary kiln technology and manufactures high grade Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Pozzoland Portland Cement (PPC) and other specialty grades required for infrastructure projects.

 

Cement is a highly localized/regionalized industry due to its unique characteristic of being a bulky but low value product. Proximity to either source of raw material (limestone) or end market is imperative to keep cost of end product (cement) competitive. Overall cement market of north east is estimated to bea5 MTPA against which the total cement production in north east is 3 MTPA, with the deficit being met from outside north east. This demand supply mismatch and high logistic cost of bringing cement from outside north east has resulted in north east being a high price-end market. Based on the developments envisaged to take place in the North Eastern region the cement demand in the region is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12-15% per annum. A big spurt in demand is also expected after two years when many of the Hydel Power Plants will be launched in the North East, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh. At present CMCL cement unit is the biggest cement unit of north east and has twin advantage of proximity to raw material and close proximity to the highest price-end market. On comparison of peers it is found that CMCL EBIDTA margin has been highest in the industry.

 

The present combined capacity of CMCL and its subsidiaries is now 1.20 MTPA of Cement. CMCL is also adding further 1.75 MTPA Clinker capacity, through its wholly owned subsidiary Star Cement Meghalaya Limited. The clinker so produced will be taken to CMCL's proposed grinding units at Guwahati (Assam). After effecting these expansions CMCL cement production capacity will go up from present 1.20 MTPA to 2.80 MTPA. The projects are under implementation and are expected to commence production within the current financial year. Meghalaya Power Limited is setting up a 51 MW Power plant, which will be a captive power plant to its existing as well as planned clinker unit of SCML. The grinding units at Guwahati will also have captive power plant of adequate capacity.

 

Cement is considered to be a cyclical industry. Addition of new capacities particularly in north east may tilt industry more towards supply situation. Cement is highly capital intensive and fairly long gestation industry. The expansion plans may make the Company very high leveraged to face any demand set back.

 

With strong brand image and early mover advantages, the Company does not expect to face any problem in near and fairly distant future.

 

 

Logistic

 

The ports and international cargo handling facility are important part of physical infrastructure of a country. Ports and cargo handling facilities play a crucial role in facilitating India's international trade. India with a coastline of 7,517 km is added with 12 major ports and 60 non-major ports, which handle traffic. Average turnaround time of Indian ports is 3.5 days compared to 10 hours in Hong Kong. This high turnaround time undermines the competitiveness of Indian Ports. Congestion at ports is primarily due to the slow evacuation of cargo rather than a lack of handling facility. More than half of the world's traded goods are containerized and this is expected to increase further. In order to decongest ports it is imperative that dwelling time of containers at ports is decreased by developing Container Freight Stations (CFS), where containers can be moved after maximum decided dwelling time. In order to decongest congested Kolkata Port the Kolkata Port Trust is encouraging development of CFS.

 

The Company ventured into CFS business in the year 2008, when it was allotted approx 1 lac square meter land near port by Kolkata Port Trust for developing same as CFS. In view of the heavy congestion at the Kolkata Port and the emerging opportunity in this sector the Company established a full fledged logistic division to develop this business segment. The Company's two first private sector state of the art CFS (consisting of approximately 1,00,000 sq meter area) are already operational and can handle 1,30,000 containers of 20 feet each annually. This capacity is approximately 2/3rd of total container handling capacity of Kolkata Port.

 

The logistic business of the Company is related to infrastructure and service sector. The business may face problem only on slow down of economy and substantial reduction in import cargo. Entry of new players may expose the company to competition. In view of prevailing congestion at Kolkata Port Trust and expected increase in traffic with availability of limited CFS facility the Company does not expect to face any problem in near and fairly distant future.

About Century Plyboards (India) Limited:

Century Plyboards (I) Limited, makers of the well-known ‘Centuryply’ brand of Plywood and decorative veneers, was set up in 1986 in Kolkata, a joint effort of Mr. Sajjan Bhajanka and Mr. Sanjay Agarwal. The largest seller of plywood and decorative veneers in the Indian organized plywood market, Centuryply today is the leading brand and in its short duration of existence has created a special niche for itself in the industry.

 

Century Plyboards (India) Limited believes in being “first” in whatever it does. Century Plyboards (India) Limited has the distinction of becoming the first ISO 9002 company in India for Veneer and Plywood. It has recently joined CII (Confederation of Indian Industries) and Indian Green Business Council as a founder member to promote the green building movement in India.

 

The Brand CenturyPly

 

Century Ply has repositioned the brand in the Lifestyle Products segment, breaking away from the concept of utility products. The product category of decorative veneer and laminates are becoming lifestyle statements and the end user can wear the brand. To pioneer in this category and create a niche for itself, the traditional way of advertising or making associations around the Brand was the way forward and Centuryply chose the glamorous entertainment industry of Bollywood to create those associations.

 

2011 is a glorious year for Centuryply as this is the Silver Jubilee Year, Ply Turns Silver, a very proud moment for all Centurions. It seems like yesterday that the company started and in less than a decade became the industry leader. Today sitting on the silver throne the dream is to reach out to the golden era and centuries of celebration of being the undaunted leader. After establishing a leadership position in plywood it is now moving ahead to become the leader in laminates and decorative veneers as the ‘Inspiration in Interiors’, a complete solution provider.

 

Centuryply has, over the years, maintained a consistent growth rate and has received accolades from every nook and corner. Centuryply was adjudged the Fastest Growing Company with the Highest Turnover by the famous Journal ‘Construction World’ 7 times in a row, listed amongst the top companies by Economic Times, Dalal Street, Dun and Bradstreet and Business World.
