FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

During the 9-month period (hereinafter referred to as 'financial year'), The Company recorded paper production of 160,667 MT as against 136,081 MT for the corresponding period of the previous year and 187,233 MT for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011.

 

The Company has posted Rs.5939.100 Millions from paper, pulp and power sales for the nine months ended December 2011 as against Rs.5270.200 Millions for the corresponding period in the previous year and Rs.7818.100 Millions for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011.

 

The EBIDTA for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was Rs.1125.800 Millions as against Rs.1252.700 Millions for the corresponding previous period and Rs.1647.200 Millions for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011. The Company has made provisions and write offs aggregating to Rs.472.000 Millions and deferred tax of earlier years amounting to Rs.847.500 Millions during the financial year which resulted in net loss of Rs.978.100 Millions for the year.

 

MARKETING AND EXPORTS

 

The Company made a sale of 139,888 MT for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 comprising of 139,786 MT of paper sales and 102 MT of pulp sales against 130,400 MT comprising of 125,667 MT of paper and 4,733 MT of pulp sale for the corresponding period of previous year. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2011, the Company had made sale of 193,302 MT comprising of 188,569 MT of paper sale and 4,733 MT of pulp sale.

 

For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the domestic paper sales were 124,503 MT against 109,586 MT for the corresponding period of previous year and 166,900 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011. Similarly, the exports sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was 15,283MT against 16,081 MT for the corresponding previous period and 21,669 MT for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011.

 

While there has been a slight decrease in quantity, They were able to substantially increase the sales realization per MT over the last year. The Company managed to get a better net sales realization per MT over the previous year due to upward price revisions across all grades and a change in the product mix.

 

RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

 

Concerted efforts by APPM enabled the mills to meet 100% requirement of pulpwood from own catchment area and overcome the stiff competition in pulpwood procurement.

 

During the year, bamboo supply from government was also resumed up to some extent.

 

RAW MATERIAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

 

120.700 Millions Quality seedlings were developed and distributed during the planting year 2011 covering an area of 16,823 Ha under plantation against development and distribution of 103.700 Million seedlings covering an extent of 15,000 Ha during previous 2010 planting year. Research on clonal development has resulted into introduction of high yielding, disease resistantclones and versatile to a wide variety of agro-climatic conditions in inland and coastal areas.

 

Research and development initiatives with low cost planting techniques, quality seed material and high yielding, short rotation planting stock have enhanced raw material availability spread over more than 132,759 Ha. These benefits are extended to around 44,563 families creating employment resource pool of 66 million man-days especially in rural areas so far.

 

FORESTRY TARGETING MARGINAL AND WASTELANDS

 

The ongoing farm forestry activities focused on the local agrarian community of small and marginal land holdings which could be better utilized for pulpwood plantations with minimal investmentby adopting low cost planting technology. Introduction of Casuarina hybrid has resulted in higher yield ensuring quality raw material to mills and higher returns to farmers. The Company's farm forestry activities have helped in generating the pulpwood requirement to the mills and also in sustaining the local needs of farmers by means of generating employment and upliftment of socio-economic conditions of the villagers and tribal communities. The Company's presence and initiatives in greening waste lands for raw material resources have created a strong network comprising tribal beneficiaries, self-help groups and village organizations to fight against poverty and natural disasters.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL SCENARIO

 

With its incredible versatility and application, paper is a ubiquitous product with daily demand from almost all sections of society. The most well-known applications of paper and paper industry products include writing and printing (W and P) paper, industrial paper, specialty paper such as tissues, newsprint, and value added products such as packaging materials, corrugated cartons, paper cups, building materials, hospital products, fire-resistant and water proofing materials.

 

Paper, made from natural and recyclable materials such as cellulose sourced primarily from wood products as also from rags, grass and dry waste materials, is a eco-friendly product because it is,

 

a. made from renewable materials;

 

b. sourced from forest products that are planted at a rate faster than they are utilized, with increasing forest cover;

 

c. bio-degradable and recycled; and,

 

d. a source of renewable energy at the end of its life-cycle.

 

Worldwide the paper industry remains responsible to the environment and prides itself in planting more number of trees than are used. The industry has strived to be a responsible steward of sustainable development of forest resources which, in turn, has added to the raw material security for the paper manufacturers.

 

The clean technology management programs adopted by the paper manufacturers have culminated in reduced environmental impact even as the paper production volume has been stepped up. The industry has reduced its dependence on fossil fuels, saved on energy consumption and cost, lowered waterconsumption, successfully worked towards air purity and has been well-documented to be non-CO 2 intensive. The paper industry is hence well-positioned to supply larger volume of paper and has been growing despite the challenges from alternative mediums such as internet and mobile applications.

 

INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY

 

The Indian paper industry is more than 140 years old with the first mill having been commissioned in 1867. There are, at present, about 515 units engaged in the manufacture of paper and paperboards and newsprint in India. The country is almost self-sufficient in manufacture of most varieties of paper and paperboards. Import, however, is confined only to certain specialty papers.

 

Over the years, in line with the improvement in the well-being of people and rising literacy and aspiration levels, paper usage has increased. While India accounts for approximately 17% of the global population, the domestic paper industry accounts for about 1.6% of the world's production of paper and paperboard. The estimated turnover of the industry is Rs.300000.000 Millions (USD 6.2 billion) approximately and the industry provides employment to more than 120,000 people directly and 340,000 indirectly.

 

Paper sector is dominated by small and medium size units; number of mills of capacity 50,000 tons per annum or more is not more than 25. Less than half a dozen mills account for almost 90% production of newsprint in the country.

 

The industry was delicensed in July 1997 by the Government of India, which enabled foreign participation and investment in the domestic industry. Most of the paper mills are in existence for a long time and hence present technologies fall in a wide spectrum ranging from oldest to the most modern.

 

Today almost every person uses paper in one form or the other. The industry has responded to the growth in demand and the

installed capacity in India has risen from 0.137 million MT per

annum in 1951 to the current 10.8 million MT. This includes capacity expansion of approximately 1.2 million MT in the recent past. A brief analysis of the industry structure reveals that W and P paper capacity is 3.5 million MT, of which 85% constitutes uncoated paper and the balance being coated varieties. The uncoated varieties comprise of cream wove, maplitho and copier papers.

 

Out of the 10.8 million MT capacity referred above, paperboard (industrial paper) accounts for 5 million MT. 58% of the productssuch as kraft paper are used in tertiary packaging and theremaining 42% constitute consumer packaging. Of the total industry cake, newsprint accounts for 1.9 million MT capacity and specialty paper holds the balance 0.4 million MT.

 

The industry is further categorized on the basis of raw-material used for manufacturing paper into forest-based (with a share of 21%), agro-based (23%) and recycled fiber-based paper (56%).

 

There is a growing need to modernize the Indian mills, improve productivity and build new capacities. Indian paper industry is capital, energy and water intensive, highly fragmented and has sub-optimal economies of scale due to use of obsolete technology.

 

There is however, a perceptible transformation in the industry. Medium and larger domestic producers have been focusing on reducing cost of product and improving quality of finished product. Some of the initiatives taken by them include increasing the size of machines with high-speed features, upgrading to new machine technology and increasing farm plantation activities.

 

The Indian paper industry is one of the world's fastest growing paper markets, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% over the past 5 years, FY06-11 (Source: CARE, August 2011). The paper industry performance is highly correlated with the macro economic trends and is often demonstrated by an analogous directional move.  Over the years, the beta between the growth trends of GDP and paper industry is nearly one. During the same 5 year periodreferred above, paper industry demand has grown at an average 0.9x multiple of GDP.

 

PAPER INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

 

Paperboard demand is expected to grow at the fastest rate across all segments due to strong demand from organized retail market and flexible packaging products. Newsprint demand is expected to grow with rise in literacy rate and increased focus of print media companies on regional market. P and W demand is also forecast to continue growing rapidly with increased government spending on education and improved activity from service and manufacturing sector. As per current estimates (Source: CRISIL, December 2011), some of the key components of growth in the paper industry over the next five years are briefly listed below:

 

  • Coated and copier papers will drive W and P paper growth by ~8%;
  • Uncoated paper to grow at ~7.5%;
  • Led by key drivers such as education and office printing, branded copier paper market to grow by 6%;
  • Demand for coated paper to be at ~9% with art paper to grow by ~12% driven by organized retail, marketing brochures and magazines;
  • Paperboard demand to grow by ~7.5% with increase in organized retail and rise in urbanization;
  • Consumer packaging to grow by ~8% with higher demand from organized retail, pharmaceuticals, textiles, food and FMCG products;
  • Average wood pulp and wastepaper prices to decline in 2012; and,
  • Operating rates to improve for producers from 2013. 

 

APPM is alert to the pressures of the market and is striving to improve on all fronts including volumes, revenues, margins and cash flow. It is also relevant to refer that while India imports about 2 million MT of pulp (both hardwood and softwood) and faces the volatility in prices accentuated by a weakening rupee-strong dollar trend, APPM manages its sensitivity with captive in-house production of cost effective, good quality pulp to meet its total requirement. Today, APPM is a low cost producer of paper in India and this strength is likely to be retained.

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

Finished paper production for the 9-month period ending December 2011 was 160,667 MT as compared to 187,233 MT in the 12-month financial year ending March 2011. Unbleached pulp production was 139,876 MT during the reporting period as compared to 171,140 MT in the previous financial year.

 

Paper sales were 139,786 MT comprising 124,503 MT in the domestic market and 15,283 as export sales. In 2010-11, in comparison, domestic paper sales were 166,900 MT while export sales were 21,669 MT. Gross domestic net sales realization was 7.5% higher over the previous year at Rs.44,891 per MT with export realization higher by 8.7% at Rs.42,015. The Company managed to get a better net sales realization per MT over the previous year partly due to better market conditions and improved product pricing and partly due to change in product mix at Unit:CP.

 

During the nine months ending December 2011, the revenue from operations totaled Rs.5939.100 Millions, while Other Income was Rs.69.200 Millions. Total revenue for the period was therefore Rs.6008.400 Millions.

 

Earnings before interest, depreciation and taxation (EBIDTA) were at Rs.1125.800 Millions (before adjusting for one-time charges) constituting 18.73% of the revenue from operations. In the previous financial year 2010-11, the corresponding amount was Rs.1647.200 Millions accounting for 20.62% of the revenue.

 

Lower EBIDTA is also a function of the sensitivity attached to the demand cycles. Market demand, volume sold and prevailing prices are normalized in a 12-month cycle and hence are not comparable with a 9-month review period ending December 2011.

 

Interest and finance charges were Rs.440.000 Millions, which accounted for 6.92% of the gross revenue. Interest rates remained firm throughout the period at review.

 

The volatility in the rupee-dollar exchange rate adversely impacted and the Company incurred loss, primarily on account of mark-to-market (MTM) loss, of Rs.79.000 Millions as at December 31, 2011. Such MTM losses were on account of foreign exchange differences on long term foreign currency loans contracted for acquisition of capital assets. Comparatively, the corresponding cost was Rs.1.200 Millions as at March 31, 2011.

 

Profitability was also affected due to higher input cost (substantially on account of the inflationary conditions in the economy) and non-recurring loss such as write-off of plant and machinery, stores and spare parts considered obsolete and inventory of damaged finished stock and provisioning for legal cases and diminution in value of investments. The Company made an internal technical review during the second and third quarter and recognized impairment in the value of these assets aggregating to Rs.472.000 Millions. They are non-recurring costs and have been charged to the revenue account during the review period.

 

In addition, there was a non-cash charge of Rs.847.500 Millions being provision for arrears of deferred tax liability. The Company had been recognizing deferred tax expense arising primarily from depreciation on tangible fixed assets on the basis of currently applicable Minimum Alternate Tax rather than regular tax rates.

 

The Company had challenged the provisions of Accounting Standard 22 in relation to this matter and filed a writ petition.

 

In view of the long pendency in resolution of the matter, the Company has provided for arrears of deferred tax liability in the Profit and Loss Account during the review period. As a result, the Company has reported a pre-tax loss of Rs.131.600 Millions as against profit before tax of Rs.570.900 Millions reported in the earlier year. The loss after tax adjustment is Rs.978.100 Millions. The profit after tax in the financial year ending March 2011 was Rs.449.500 Millions.

 

APPM OUTLOOK

 

APPM is well-positioned to face the challenges of tomorrow. A strong technical team, revitalized marketing strategy, new product developments and high-end quality products would add to traction at APPM to ride the future with confidence.

 

The Company will leverage the resources, support systems and experience available at International Paper to create one of the best integrated paper companies and ensure sustainable growth.

 

The priority is to sustain momentum, create better value for products and bring APPM closer to its customers. The Company shall add traction to its business performance and operating results by working simultaneously with all its key levers, a few of which are enumerated below:

 

  • Execute the strategy of relentlessly offering products that help customers compete more efficiently in their addressable markets;
  • Add volumes, offer niche products that have less competition and drive higher margins with improvement in efficiencies;
  • Upgrade performance of the supply chain;
  • Strive to integrate quality in all business processes;
  • Drive organizational change so that APPM works as one team;
  • Control costs, enhance earnings and improve cash flow.

 

The Company seeks to grow revenue and bottom line and is striving to participate in the improving demand scenario for paper in the market by ensuring economies of scale, efficient usage of resources and value chain management. The investments that continue to be made in systems, processes, products and market are expected to enhance operational performance and meet stakeholder expectations.

 

Every business carries inherent risks and uncertainties that can affect financial conditions, results of operations and prospects. APPM has been conscious of its risk factors and has been taking proactive steps to mitigate/minimize them. The risk management goal is to identify and evaluate risks as early as possible and limit business losses by taking suitable measures. Overall, the Company aims to avoid risks that pose a threat to its sustainable growth.

 

The management of APPM understands that risks can negatively impact the attainment of both short term operational or long term strategic goals. Risk management is a part of the business planning and controlling process and is vital to ensure effectiveness in business success. Some of the industry specific risks need a review:

 

The following factors are considered for determining the materiality:

 

  • Some events may not be material individually but may be found material collectively;
  • Some events may have material impact qualitatively instead of quantitatively;
  • Some events may not be material at present but may have material impact in future.

 

GENERAL ECONOMIC FACTORS

 

Continued adverse business developments in general could have an adverse effect on the demand for paper products, financial conditions and results of operation. Paper industry has a positive correlation to economic development and lower GDP growth could affect business fortunes.

 

Despite the global pressures, the Indian economy is expected to grow much higher than the global average and report a GDPgrowth of 8% in 2011-12. The Planning Commission of the Government of India has projected 9% annual average economic growth rate during 2012-17, in the approach document to the 12th Plan.

 

Paper industry would be a beneficiary of the stimulus packages and investment in education being made by the Union Government. Higher literacy and aspiration levels of the peopleare expected to further increase the growth rate of the paper industry.

SAT ASKS AP PAPER TO PAY NON-COMPETE FEE TO INVESTORS

SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

 

Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has asked AP Paper (International Paper hold’s 75%) to pay non-compete fee to all investors who tendered in the open offer, reports CNBC-TV18's Sajeet Manghat.  

 

SAT has dismissed the International Paper petition which challenged Securities and Exchange Board of India's (Sebi) order asking International Paper to pay the non-compete fee to all the investors.

 

The open offer for all the AP Paper investor was at Rs 544 per share and Sebi argue that this non-compete fee should be provided to all the shareholders who are tendering the shares in the open offer. The open offer for AP Paper is closed so only those shareholders who have tendered their share and whose shares have been accepted in the open offer will be getting this non-compete fee of Rs 130.73 per share.

 

The money as part of the entire proceeding, the entire non-compete fee was supposed to be deposited in an escrow account. As per the decision of SAT or the higher court it was supposes to be either given to the shareholders or taken back. International Paper has recourse to go for an appeal to the Supreme Court after that the decision will be taken.

 

As far as current shareholders are concerned, they will not be having any impact on it except for those shareholders who have already tendered and they have got the open offer price of Rs 544 per share.

 

At 12:37 hrs the share was quoting at Rs 347.70, up Rs 4.95, or 1.44%.
