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.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Subject is a producer of plastic packaging material in the form of multilayer collapsible tubes and laminates used primarily for packaging of toothpaste, personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household and industrial products.

 

 

REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS:

 

The Company is a manufacturer globally of multi-layered plastic collapsible tubes and laminates, considered as specialty packaging. Its tubes are extensively used by industry in the packing of their products spanning categories such as toothpaste, cosmetics, foods and pharmaceuticals. Packaging plays an important role in protecting the product, keeping it fresh and potent and making for its aesthetics and display value in the retail shelf, besides helping to deliver it to consumer in an efficient and convenient manner. The packaging industry continues to grow given its symbiotic linkage to products of mass daily consumption. The growth in developing markets like India is even more pronounced. As a leader in the tube space, the Company is constantly striving to grow the market and gain share through innovative offerings and efficient supply chain.

 

 

INDIA:

 

The Company having pioneered laminated tubes in India since the 1980’s, continues to be the market leader. The toothpaste category is a pre-dominant user of the laminated tubes in India. This category holds high growth potential given the current low per capita usage of tooth paste and the growing income and awareness levels and will continue to power the Company’s sales.

Complementing this, the Company is actively promoting the use of high value laminated and plastic extruded tubes in categories such as cosmetics, foods and pharmaceuticals. The increasing number and range of customers and SKUs bear testimony to the Company’s success with this strategic foray. So much so, over 47% of the Company’s India sales this year is from the non-oral care category.

The Company’s innovation driven R&D, show-cased to customers as Creativity & Innovation (C&I) has been powering these efforts through a pipeline of innovations in material structure, product dispensing, ‘look and feel’ features, and product recyclability. During the year, the Company filed 18 patent applications. The Company has invested in printing technologies which can produce high impact graphics and decoration and can flexibly cater to varying run sizes and print customization.

During the year, the Company ramped up its new plastic tube capacity at Wada and continued to invest in new capacities to support the fast growing demand. Customer service process was strengthened in order to achieve higher order servicing levels and faster order turnaround.

 

The rupee devaluation coupled with escalating global commodity prices put pressure on input costs. While the Company has an established process of regular price review and pass through of cost escalation, the margins were impacted on account of the lag effect in passing through the cost escalation. The Company has also initiated in parallel, a number of measures to improve material and machine productivity and to make its cost structure even more competitive on long term basis.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW:

 

The Company manufactures and markets a wide range of plastic tubes, both laminated and extruded and flexible plastic laminates. These tubes are eminently suited for packing viscous product forms such as pastes, gels and creams. Besides preserving and protecting the product, tubes as a packaging form offer superior value proposition in terms of ease of dispensing product, hygienic storage in a multiple usage situation and excellent brand visibility on retail shelves. Tubes therefore have become a favoured packaging material worldwide for a range of consumer products such as toothpaste, face creams, hair conditioners, shaving creams, cosmetics and pharmaceutical ointments. Flexible Plastic laminates on the other hand, find use as pouches, sachets and wrappers to contain product forms such as solid, powder and liquids. They offer excellent brand visibility at low cost. A number of products use these laminates, such as detergent powder, soap tablets, food products, oils, shampoos, biscuits, chocolates, pharmaceuticals etc.

The Company pioneered plastic laminated tubes in India. Over the last 28 years, it has transformed into a leading global player in laminated tubes, manufacturing and selling over 5 billion tubes across 12 countries. The other two products, viz plastic extruded tubes and the flexible plastic laminated are relatively recent forays targeting select markets viz. India, Europe and USA in the case of plastic extruded tubes and India alone in the case of flexible plastic laminates. The Company’s key strengths include strong domain knowledge of polymers and plastic structures, proven innovation capability, global customer network and a fully integrated manufacturing.

The market for the Company’s products is huge in the developed markets of Europe and America. It is growing rapidly in the emerging markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America driven by a booming Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. As the disposable income in these markets grows, both the usage and sophistication of packaging is expected to witness sustained uptrend. Plastic laminated and extruded tubes in a sense are a more evolved form of packaging and in the long term could benefit from conversion from other packaging forms such as bottles and sachets. With its scale, global reach and innovation capability, the Company is strategically well-placed to benefit from this linkage to the FMCG sector.

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

 

The year was marked by volatile commodity and input prices, weak consumer demand in the USA and Europe, slowdown in the Indian and Chinese GDP growth, high inflation and interest rates in India, and a sharp devaluation in Indian rupee. Despite the difficult environment, the Company posted satisfactory results during the current year helped by a four pronged strategy, viz.

1. Pro-active customer development, specially in India and Europe.

2. Cost reduction programs across the business.

3. Fixing performance issues of the plastic extruded tubes business in US and Poland.

4. Conservation of Cash through selective capex spend and inventory reduction.

Key high notes of the year are as follows:

1. Strong growth in the profits of the US operations.

2. Robust revenue growth of 50% and reduction by 50% in the EBITDA losses at the Polish unit.

3. A strong 15% volume growth in India, with the new plastic extruded tubes capacity ramping up.

4. Finance costs contained at previous year level, through pro-active management of the borrowings and interest rates.

5. ` 400 million reduction in inventory through improved stock turn.

6. Strong recovery in the profitability of the India flexible packaging unit helped by high capacity utilization and improvement in operating efficiencies.

The key challenges faced by the business have been:

l Input cost increases due to volatility in the global commodity prices accentuated in India, Mexico and Russia by sharp currency devaluation, impacting the margin and profits.

l Off-take issues with a key customer in China for a significant period during the year, impacting sales and profits.

 

Segment Performance Review:

The Company’s key business is in Plastic packaging materials. The business is managed by four geographical segments viz.

1.       Americas (with operations in the USA, Mexico and Colombia)

2.       Europe (with operations in the UK, Germany, Poland and Russia)

 

3.       AMESA - Africa, Middle East & South Asia (with operations in Egypt and India )

 

4.       EAP - East Asia Pacific (with operations in China, Philippines & Indonesia)

 

CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION (C&I)

The Research and Development function has been one of the key drivers of the Company’s growth into a leading global player.

 

Dedicated group in creativity and innovation continuously work on various polymers, additives and allied process. Idea is to apply new science on the commonly available materials and transform them into special featured laminates and tubes. Some such developments include, polymer with high clarity and high sheen that looks like metal but feels like soft plastic. In another innovation, the C&I have created a large diameter tube which has a rigid ‘bottle like’ feel but a much lower component weight, thus reducing the use of plastic material and helping position tube packaging as more ‘sustainable’ compared to bottles.

Another area of C&I work covered designing tubes in such a manner that they become more chemically inert and are able to accommodate chemically more aggressive product formulations such as hair colourants.

Yet another area of C&I work goes to inventing a new processing technique for polymer conversion. Here the idea is to have more energy efficient conversion and do away with unnecessary sub process.

Group of dedicated C&I members along with the new product development team assisted by legal department working on creating intellectual property rights. As a result, the Company has filed 18 patent applications during the year. The Directors believe that this will provide the Company long term competitive advantage and further enhance the Company’s image.

 

The Company’s research and development efforts continue to win accolades in several forums across the globe. The Company is committed to leverage its R&D capability to further sharpen its competitive edge globally and make a difference to its customers.

 

OUTLOOK

The global economic outlook is beset with recessionary concerns. While this may hold back an ambitious growth in the developed markets of USA and Europe, opportunity to grow will exist in Latin America, Africa and Asia, especially in laminated tubes. The market however could be competitive and pricing may come under pressure.

The new innovations and capabilities built up by the Company, and its significant global presence should help the Company seize the opportunity. With its renewed focus on costs and efficiency, the Company is poised to sustain a profitable growth in these difficult times.

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (WOS), Essel Packaging (Nepal) Private Limited, had discontinued its operations and disposed off assets and paid off liabilities. The Company has already received ` 60,000,000 upon reduction of the Subsidiary’s capital, and provided ` 18,996,622 towards diminution in value of Investment (including current year Rs. 2.000 millions) and the Management is of the opinion that the realizable value of investment will not be less than its carrying value.
