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.

YEAR IN RETROSPECT :

 

During the year ,the company was able to maintain Consolidated Gross revenue by increasing sales volume despite sharp decline in selling prices and margins in PET Films in comparison to the exceptionally higher prices witnessed during the Previous Year. The fall in selling prices was due to creation of new PET Film capacity globally as also the ban imposed on usage of plastic films for packaging of Gutka and Pan Masala in India.

 

Consolidated Net Income (before taxes, exceptional items and minority interest) for the year under report  Rs.2986.500 millions as against Rs.7784.100 millions during the Previous Year.

 

With a much stronger financial position on consolidated basis, the Company is implementing several new projects  across Thailand, USA and Turkey. These new projects/locations are expected to provide further impetus to growth  nd profitability in years to come besides enabling your Company to provide a much wider range of plastic films and resins to its customers.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS :

 

OVERVIEW :

 

Polyplex’s business is focused on producing high performance plastic films viz. Polyester Film (PET Film), viz. Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene Film (BOPP Film) and Cast Polyproylene Film (CPP Film) which are mainly used in the flexible packaging industry. Polyplex is one of the leading integrated producers of PET Films in the world. In the past few years, the Company has also ventured into downstream businesses like Silicone Coating and Extrusion Coating. As part of its concentric diversification strategy, the Company has decided to enter into the Thick PET Film business which will enable access to several new applications besides installing a Blown PP Film line in order to broaden the product range on its silicone coated films business. Further, Polyplex has successfully enhanced the capability of its oldest thin PET Film line at Khatima unit to produce PET Films with intermediate thickness of upto 150 microns as well as specialty co-extruded films, thereby increasing the product offering from India operations. More recently, the Company has decided to enter into a new but related business segment by commencing work on the setting up a manufacturing unit for Bottle Grade PET Resins.

 

PET Film is made from Polyester Resin (PET Chips), which in turn is produced from Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) & Mono- Ethylene Glycol (MEG). The Company produces its own PET Chips for captive consumption as well as for resale.

 

Polyplex largely produces PET Films for application in Packaging, Electrical and other Industrial segments like hot stamping foils, thermal lamination, cable wrap, release films, air conditioning ducts etc. Company’s product range is concentrated around Thin PET Films, which accounts for about three-quarters of the total global demand for PET Films, and does not participate in some of the other smaller end use segments like imaging, magnetic media and optical films.

 

Packaging being the largest business segment, the Company is now in a position to offer other substrates used in the flexible packaging industry. BOPP and CPP Films are Polypropylene (PP) based films, which are pre dominantly used in packaging besides certain industrial applications like tapes, labels, thermal lamination and textiles. Flexible packaging companies supply their laminates to consumer product companies for packaging of a diverse range of products like food products, household goods, personal care products, etc.

 

GLOBAL OPERATIONS :

 

Polyplex has attained a leadership position in the thin PET Films business with manufacturing facilities in India, Thailand and Turkey and a distribution set-up in USA and China.

 

Ignoring the intermediate investment holding entities, Polyplex Corporation Limited (PCL/Polyplex India) has a majority ownership of 51% in Polyplex (Thailand) Public Company Limited (PTL/ Polyplex Thailand) which in turn holds 100% of Polyplex Europa Polyester Film Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (PE/Polyplex Europa) and Polyplex Trading (Shenzhen) Co. Limited (PTSL/Polyplex China). PTL also has a majority stake in Polyplex (Americas) Inc. (PA/Polyplex Americas).

 

With a view to further expand its global manufacturing footprint into North America, Polyplex has invested in the setting up a thin PET Film line, a continuous process PET chips plant and metallizing capacity in USA under Polyplex USA LLC (PU/Polyplex USA), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Polyplex America Holdings Inc (PAH). PTL in turn holds 100% stake in PAH.

 

As a part of its concentric diversification strategy, PAPL has invested in Polyplex Resins Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi (PR/Polyplex Resins), Turkey, which would shortly be engaging in the business of manufacturing and marketing Bottle Grade PET Resins and related products.

 

PET FILM BUSINESS :

 

The traditional method of segmenting the PET Films business has been Thin and Thick films based on distinct applications and lack of supply side substitutability. Thick Films generally refer to films with a thickness range of 50-350 micron whereas thin films are below 50 micron. In recent years, several intermediate thickness (23-150 micron) lines have also been installed.

 

Polyplex currently produces predominantly only Thin PET Films, which represents three-fourth of the overall global PET Film demand. The growth in packaging has over the years shifted the production and usage patterns of Thin PET Films. The Company’s relevant segments of Packaging, Industrial and Electrical constitute 99% of the total demand and the traditional high-end technology segments like magnetic media and imaging segments constitute only 1% of the total consumption of Thin PET Films due to technology evolution.

 

 

Polyplex has also decided to foray into the Thick PET Film segment by putting up a manufacturing line in Thailand, which is under implementation besides revamping its first film line in India to produce intermediate thickness as well as specialty films. This will enable Polyplex to straddle the entire spectrum of end-uses by accessing the traditional industrial and electrical applications for thick films as also targeting several new and promising applications in optical and photo-voltaic segments.

 

Better packaging not only improves the shelf life of the products but is also essential for improving product appeal in a highly competitive consumer goods industry. Flexible packaging also plays a key role in source reduction on the principle of ‘use less waste in the first place’ which has ensured higher-than-GDP growth in the flexible packaging industry across the globe. PET Film, being a higher-end preferred substrate within packaging, has grown more rapidly than other substrates, averaging between 8-10% per annum. Demand in packaging is quite resilient as it relates to consumption of food products and consumer staples which are to a large extent non-discretionary in nature. This moderated the impact of the global economic recessionary environment on the industry during the 2008 economic crisis, as compared with some of the other segments like industrial and electrical which had been impacted more and had witnessed a contraction in demand in 2008- 2009. The revival of demand growth between 2009 and 2011 has also been faster in the packaging application as compared to other applications of Thin PET Films.

 

An increase in the purchasing power in the developing countries has brought with it a rise in the per capita consumption of packaging material. As a result of this, Asia (excluding Japan and Korea), is the largest market for thin PET Films with half of the consumption in this region. At the same time, per capita consumption of packaging material in developing countries is still very low as compared to the mature markets. The key drivers of demand growth in these regions are the increase in the share of organized sector in retailing, increasing consumerism and lifestyle changes arising out of higher disposable incomes, need for brand differentiation, continuous product innovations, health awareness, favourable demographics and the resulting need for better and more convenient packaging.

 

A similar trend is also evident on the supply-side with most of the new capacities being added in low-cost developing countries. A large proportion of the new capacity is also focused on the packaging segment, with an emphasis on high productivity and low operating costs. This has adversely impacted the traditionally large producers of PET Film operating with high cost structures, who have chosen to concentrate in the emerging niche technologies in PET Films like films for LCDs, Solar Panels, Touch Screens and specific high-end applications within packaging. While trade defense measures like anti-dumping and countervailing duties have been frequently invoked, in an increasingly competitive market environment, they are unable to address the inherent problems of unproductive assets operating in the developed countries producing standard films.

 

During the year 2010, the Thin PET industry witnessed a Demand supply imbalance scenario in favor of suppliers  due to inadequate matching capacity additions, new applications in Optical / Photovoltaic industry, demand growth of  about 9% and closure of some old lines.

 

Due to this imbalance in demand-supply scenario, the selling prices of PET Films moved to historic highs. This in turn significantly improved the operating margins of most of the manufacturers in this industry. These exceptionally high margins attracted a lot of new investments in the Thin PET Film industry. Most of these capacity additions started commercial operations towards the second half of 2011 and first half of 2012. There are some more new projects, under implementation, which would commence production in the next 12 months.

 

As the capacity addition during FY 2011-12 has been much more than the increase in demand, the resultant situation of oversupply is expected to continue for another 18-24 months.

 

Global Thin PET Film growth rates are expected at about 8-10% in the year 2012, with the demand in India and  Other Asia” growing at a higher rate of 10-12%. The overall capacity addition in FY 2012-13 is expected to be higher than the growth in demand but the actual timing of the additions will determine the duration of the excess supply situation. Companies with consistent quality products, diversified product portfolio, access to international customers and a robust supply chain model stand a better chance of participating in the market growth and improving/maintaining their margins above the industry averages.

 

BOPP AND CPP FILMS BUSINESS :

 

The BOPP and CPP Film business are also witnessing similar dynamics. Growth in Asia especially China and India has been strong in the past and is expected to continue in the long-term. Bulk of the consumption and capacity for these products is now in the developing countries. However, these businesses are more regional in nature and therefore the regional demand-supply balances are more relevant. The Company is expected to benefit from the low cost of production from the high productivity BOPP line in India and the CPP line in Thailand as the long-term fundamentals of these investments continue to be good.

 

SILICONE COATING AND EXTRUSION COATING BUSINESSES :

 

The Silicone coating business produces polyester release liner, which is used for carrying adhesive labels until these are removed from the release liner and are applied to the final surface. Other applications of siliconised polyester release liner include release liner for adhesive tapes, cast polymer materials, electronic applications, roofing and other industrial uses. The Company has expanded its capacity for this product range by commissioning a second coating plant in Thailand in FY 2011-12.

 

PTL has also ordered a Blown PP line which would enable better usage of the silicone coating facility and help broaden the product range by entering into the Peel & Stick liner segment for usage in the roofing market in United State of America (USA).

 

The Extrusion Coating Business involves the combination of PET/BOPP film with an extruded adhesive layer to produce a thermal lamination film. Thermal Lamination Film is used for the application of plastic film to the surface of another item like paper in order to improve the durability and give it an aesthetic appeal. The main uses of this are in teaching aids, maps, certificates, posters, menu cards, book covers, carton board boxes and food packaging. At present the Company has one extrusion coating facility in Thailand and considering the growth opportunities in this business the Company has decided to set up another extrusion coating plant at the same location.

 

USA and European Union (EU) are the main markets for the products from these businesses.

 

FLEXIBLE PACKAGING INDUSTRY IN INDIA :

 

India is one of the biggest and rapidly growing flexible packaging markets in the world. In the year under review, demand was impacted adversely by the ban on plastic usage for Gutka and Pan Masala segments, imposed in early 2011.

 

The Thin PET Film market in India is estimated to be around 192,000 tonnes for the year 2011-12. During the current  financial year, growth of 10-12% is expected on the back of sustained growth in the flexible packaging industry in India. The total capacity in India is about 450,000 tonnes with some of the surplus being exported to other parts of the world.

 

The BOPP market in India is estimated at about 180,000 tons for the year under review with a capacity base of 425,000 tons. Demand is expected to grow around 12% annually. Exports of converted product have increased in recent times aided by strengthening US Dollar vs INR.

 

The extent of excess supply in both PET and BOPP Films at optimum production levels is such that even with significant export volumes, the domestic industry is still likely to face underutilized capacity.

 

The results of this strategy are exhibited in the successful growth achieved by the Company over the years. Despite the challenging environment, the Company continues to identify attractive avenues for growth and is well-poised to create more long-term value for the shareholders.

 

PERFORMANCE DURING THE YEAR :

 

All discussion here is in the context of the consolidated performance of the Company.

 

SALES AND OPERATIONS :

 

The Company has a large international presence with active sales in all major regional markets / countries across the world. The Company has a large base of about 1250 end customers and low customer concentration. Its top 10 customer groups contributed 28% of total revenues in 2011-12. Company’s 73% of revenues were from PET Films in 2011-12. Of the total sales, 64% is accounted for by the end-users.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK AND  PLANNED INVESTMENTS :

 

The exceptionally high margins in 2010 have attracted a lot of new investments in the PET/OPP film business. Most of these capacity additions have started commercial operations towards the second half of 2011 and first half of 2012. While demand growth remains intact and robust, bunching in capacity additions in anticipation of future growth does create periods of high competition with the resultant moderation in margins.

 

The Company remains confident that with its strengths of distributed manufacturing operations, diversified product portfolio, consistent quality, access to international customers, efficient supply chain model, higher proportion of value added products and superior performance it should be able to grow profitably and withstand variability in industry environment. The Company is well poised to capture growth opportunities in all its business segments within the confines of business prudence.
