INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

PRESS RELEASE

 

KANSAI NEROLAC TO BUY 68% STAKE IN NEPALESE PAINT MAKER

 

Kansai Nerolac Paints today said it is in final stages of buying a majority stake in a Nepal-based paint company at an investment of Rs 75.500 Millions.

 

Kansai Nerolac Paints today said it is in final stages of buying a majority stake in a Nepal-based paint company at an investment of Rs 75.500 Millions. The company is in the process of finalising a 68% stake in Nepal Shalimar Private Limited (NSPL), Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited (KNPL) said in a filing to the BSE.

 

"The investment to be made by Kansai Nerolac towards this proposed acquisition shall be Rs 75.500 Millions," it added.

 

Further, Kansai Nerolac Paints would be giving a loan of around Rs.60.000 Millions to fund the working capital requirement of NSPL, it said.

 

"With KNPL's entry in the Himalayan state, our consolidated profit would improve and in turn increase EPS which will benefit our shareholders," Kansai Nerolac Managing Director HM Bharuka said. NSPL had posted a turnover of Rs 12.34 crore for the fiscal ended 2010-11.

 

 

NEROLAC PAINTS TO INVEST RS.3000.000 MILLIONS IN NEW UNIT

 

MUMBAI, MAY 3: 

 

Kansai Nerolac Paints plans to set up a manufacturing unit in Bangalore at an investment of Rs 300-crore this fiscal. The paint and varnish manufacturer said that, with the new plant, the company's annual capacity will increase to 260,000 tonnes from 220,000 tonnes across its existing 4 units.

 

“The capital expenditure will be funded through internal accruals,” the company's Managing Director, Mr H. M. Bharuka said.

 

The company also plans to expand its distribution network by 5 per cent from 14,000 dealers. Besides, it will add 5 new Nerolac Style Zone outlets in the current fiscal. At present, the company has 30 such stores.

 

The company's net profit for the quarter ending March 2012 has gone down by 22 per cent, which the company attributes to the gain of extraordinary income in the year-ago period. Besides, increasing input costs and depreciation in the rupee caused a dent on the company's bottom-line. However, topline grew by 28 per cent at Rs 6625.000 Millions as the demand for decorative paints went up.

 

Meanwhile, for the year ended March 31, 2012, Kansai Nerolac's net profit increased 4.8 per cent to Rs.2160.000 Millions, against Rs 2060.000 Millions year ago.

 

The firm's net sales also grew 21.59 per cent to Rs.25860.000 Millions in 2011-12, against Rs 21270.000 Millions in the previous year.

 

On price hikes, Mr Bharuka said, “We have taken a price hike of up to 13 per cent on an average last fiscal. The market remains volatile and a lot depends on how crude oil prices behave. We have not decided on any price hike yet, but going by the market trend, it can't be ruled out.”

 

He also said that the overall paint industry will see a slow growth at 10 per cent in FY 13 as against 14 per cent in FY 12 and 20 per cent in FY 11. The slowdown was also due to slower growth in the auto and white goods segment.

Mumbai, May 02, 2012: Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited (KNPL), one of the leading Paint companies in India, today at the Board meeting announced its unaudited results for the fourth quarter of financial year 2011-12. For the quarter, the company declared net sales of Rs.6670.000 Millions, marking a growth of 28% over the same quarter of the previous year. Operating profit was Rs. 567.000 Millions a growth of 26.8% over the same quarter of the previous year. For the year, Net sales were at Rs. 26010.000 Millions a growth of 21.4% over the same period last year and Net profit was at Rs. 2160.000 Millions a growth of 5 % over the same period last year.

 

For the year, Gross Sales and Operating Income was at Rs.30200.000 Millions an increase of 21 % over the same period last year. The bottom-line results are not strictly comparable due to extraordinary items in the previous year. For the year Operating profit was up at Rs.2810.000 Millions a growth of 16.4 % over same period last year.

 

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. H. M. Bharuka, Managing Director, Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited said, "FY12 has been a challenging year both in terms of demand and cost pressures. In the light of this, KNP has been able to maintain good momentum both in terms of growth and profit. During the quarter inflationary pressures continued as well as there was volatility in the exchange rates. This has had an impact on raw material prices. To counter inflation, KNPL has been able to partly pass on this increase to the market. The outlook for FY13 is challenging in terms of top-line and bottom line. The company has taken initiatives to ensure growth over the coming quarters. On the cost side, interest rates, volatility in exchange rates and inflationary pressures on input costs coupled with un-certainty in the global economy create pressures. A further depreciation of the rupee will add to the cost pressures. The short-term out-look thus continues to remain cautious. Overall, however the picture of paint demand remains very positive over the long term."

 

Outlook of Indian Paint Industry:

 

The size of domestic paint industry is estimated at Rs.240000.000 Millions as of Mar 2011. The good growth in infrastructure, core sector as well as automobile and real estate is likely to have a positive effect on the overall demand of paint for the industry.

Commenting on the announcement, Mr. H. M. Bharuka, Managing Director, Kansai Nerolac Paints Limited said, "Demand for the paint has been moderate during the quarter which is reflected in KNP numbers. The inflationary pressures witnessed in earlier quarters have reduced, however the fall in the rupee has ensured that input costs have not come down. KNPL has been able to partly pass on this increase to the market. Going forward uncertainty in the economy, concern on the monsoon, depreciation of the rupee keeping input costs high, all make the immediate future very challenging both in terms of top-line and profitability. We will have to wait and watch as to how these factors will play out and hence the out-look for the short term remains cautious Overall, however the picture of paint demand remains very positive over the long term:"
