INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit for the fiscal third quarter ended September 2013 narrowed to $4.2 billion or 0.9 % of the gross domestic product from $31.9 billion or 6.5 % of GDP a year earlier, thanks to a pick-up in exports and moderation in gold imports. Manufacturing activity and new orders in India showed their strongest growth in a year in February. The news comes as a relief after data showed Asia’s third largest economy grew by a slower-than-expected 4.7 % annually in the three months through December. The HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index which gauges the business activity of India’s factories but not its’ utilities, rose to 52.5 in February, its highest in a year from 51.4 in January. Overall new orders for factory goods which rose to a one-year high of 54.9 contributed to the surge. China has emerged as India’s biggest trading partner in the current financial year replacing the United Arab Emirates and pushing it to the third spot. India-China trade has reached $49.5 billion with a 8.7 % share in India’s total trade. The US comes second at $46 billion with 8.1 % share during the first nine months of the current financial year.

 

The Reserve Bank of India has granted an additional nine months to the public to exchange currency notes printed before 2005 including Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations, pushing the deadline to January 1, 2015. A day before dates for the Lok Sabha polls were announced, the government decided to hike interest rates on fixed deposit schemes offered by post offices up to 0.2 per cent. The new rates will be effective April, 1. The Supreme Court will resume hearing on March, 11 Nokia’s appeal against a ruling over transferring ownership of its local mobile phones plant which is the subject of a tax dispute to Microsoft Corp.

 

In the last days of the current Government, another scam has surfaced. The defence ministry has ordered a probe into Hindustan Aeronautics Limited’s contracts from Britain’s Rolls-Royce Holdings worth at least $ 1.2 billion. The Central Bureau of Investigation will look into allegations that over $80 million was paid in kickbacks in a deal signed in 2011. India has asked Boeing Co. to find a solution for problems with state-owned Air India’s 787 Dreamliners. The aircraft has experienced a series of malfunctions since its debut in 2011.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

PAINT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

There were signs of deceleration in the macro economic scenario in 2012-13. The agricultural sector fared badly in the wake of poorer than expected rains in 2012, the industrial sector clocked a lower growth and the services sector was also affected. All these cumulated to an estimated GDP growth of about 5%. On the brighter side, inflation is coming down, commodity prices have cooled off and there have been reassurances from the Government on its commitments to reform measures.

 

Paint industry, as a whole, continued to do better, in spite of the adverse developments, growing at a good clip and at a higher rate than GDP. The growth is fuelled by higher income levels of people across urban and rural segments, historically low consumption of paints which offers a potential for the future, growing popularity of branded paints with better quality and longer durability and the desire of people to remodel and embellish existing dwelling units. The industry has given a fillip to this demand by expanding its distribution network, penetrating newer and hitherto unexplored geographies, offering a wide degree of choice in terms of attributes and prices and educating consumers and applicators in regard to benefits of various brands and uses of paint. The industry projects that total Indian revenues, currently estimated at Rs.260000.000 Millions, may touch around Rs.500000.000 Millions by FY 2016.

 

Over the last three years, paint prices have increased by about 30% - to partially compensate for increase in raw material prices. However, there has been no significant increase in architectural paint prices since  the  third quarter of  the fiscal year and, on the contrary, there has been a marginal decrease. There has been some softening in prices of titanium dioxide and some other chemicals and crude prices. However, the overall raw material index for the period was higher than that of 2011-12. 

 

The ratio of decorative and industrial paints is 70:30 which is expected to continue in the future in view of various factors enumerated in this Report. The higher rate of growth in decorative paints augurs well for the industry.

 

The year witnessed some weakening of enthusiasm in industrial paints market with marked fall in automotive sales, lower spending in infrastructure and general slowdown in the industry. The Company does not believe this to be a permanent phenomenon and is ready to accept challenges of higher demand and better quality requirements in this segment, as and when they arise.

 

 

 

COMPANY’S OPERATION:

 

Over the last 5 years (FY 07-08 to 11-12), the Company’s revenues, net of excise duty, have grown at CAGR of 17.5%. This is a result of continued attention to product quality, even where minor improvements may make difference to the consumers, better service levels, mix improvement in favor of premium products and water based emulsions, implementation of system related infrastructure which is commensurate to the needs of the business and timely and appropriate buying decisions.

 

Subject architectural (or decorative) business contributes more than 75% of its revenue. This year, the largest growth, both in terms of volume and value, came from this business. The focus on expanding geographical coverage through large dealer networks continued unabated. The Company successfully implemented an integrated Customer Relationships Management (CRM). Once fully utilized, this will enhance communication, feedback and service levels to subject customers to a great level and will help to bring down lead time, inventory and the overall working capital.

 

Subject concentrated on promoting luxury brands and improved formulations as well as looks and packaging of all its products. Subject premium brands viz., Breathe Easy, Silk and Weathercoat Allguard continued to perform well in all the markets. Effectiveness of subject traditional brands such as Walmasta, Rangoli Easy Clean and Bison Emulsion were strengthened and subject was rewarded by positive reactions from the market. Breathe Easy, as the members would be aware, is a paint which contains very low volatile organic chemicals (VOC) and is suitable for schools and hospitals and for the elderly and those who suffer from breathing problems. Subject now offers both emulsion and enamel paints in this category. Silk continues to be subject premium product in the interior space – with a unique texture, richness and feel. Weathercoat Allguard is a Silicon Based Exterior Water Based Paint with enhanced water resistance. Durability of subject products, even in the face of harsh and destructive climatic conditions, is proven to be superior and does not make any compromise in this respect. This has earned the confidence of the customers in the long run, as is evidenced by its results.

 

Subject innovates in terms of new products and offerings with varied uses through constant technological advancement and upgrading to be able to tap every consumer segment. Some of its recent additions include niche products like Roofing and Sealing Compounds, Wood Coatings and Sealers. Weathercoat Kool and Seal is one such product which, when applied on roofs, ills cracks (known as elastomeric property) and bounces off heat. Weathercoat Heat Reflecting paint is a matching product, with similar properties, for walls and facades. In the Industrial and Protective Coatings Segment, subject has made technological advances to offer better products with varied uses.

 

Recently, the subject has launched “Lewis Berger Design Stories”, which will offer “readymade designer room themes” with premium designer and texture paint concepts to its customers. These are known as Sussanne Roshan Collection – developed for Company with the renowned interior designer, Sussanne Roshan. This was launched after considerable market studies which 7 show that consumers are increasingly looking for expert professional interior décor advice while setting up their homes. The limited edition themes that are being launched in the first phase include ‘Metropolis’ for living rooms, ‘Yin Yang’ for dining rooms, ‘Shutters by the Sea’ for bed rooms. Subject will create awareness around this through various promotional activities and digital platforms where consumers can avail these themes. The Lewis Berger Design Stories address this latent need in the consumer space by providing them with readymade room themes which include wall textures, furnishings and furniture. The latter will be supplied by “The Charcoal Project (TCP).”

 

In keeping with subject customer orientation, the Company provides a Preview facility, available both online and offline, bringing value and convenience to today’s busy but quality conscious consumers. Using the latest simulation software, consumers can check out different colour schemes on photographs of their homes to help them choose just the right combination prior to actual painting. Subject Home Painting business and Prolinks – which cater to large projects including the hospitality industry and corporate office blocks, offer hassle free painting of buildings and were doing well with repeat orders.

 

The newly introduced product range in the field of Construction Chemicals is performing well and the growth in sales in this area matched subject expectations.

 

Subject’s Industrial Business comprises General Industrial, Automotive, Protective Coatings and Powder Coatings. The reversal in the industry and infrastructure sector affected these Businesses in varying degrees. That said, it needs to be mentioned that subject posted growth in revenues in all these segments by venturing into new areas with higher values, distributing new products, taking measures to improve quality and offering customers certain unique properties in regard to its products. Subject efforts in these respects led to improvement in profitability in some areas. There are dedicated Research and Development Teams for these Businesses – offering specific solutions to all industrial coatings requirement.

 

Subject recently won the Economic Times Bengal Corporate Award for Best Entity in New Product / Process Development in the area of new products in East India and Construction World Award for the fastest growing paint company in India.

 

 

FOCUS AND OUTLOOK FOR 2013-14:

 

The Company believes that considering the size of the Indian market, the low consumption rate per capita and the expected growth in this area, as set out earlier in this Report, there is enough opportunity for the industry to thrive in the foreseeable future. These are specifically offered by increased need of housing in major urban centers, higher incomes in rural areas as well as in Tier II and Tier III towns, better availability of quality and branded paints all across the country, increase in square feet of walls per capita – where independent houses are increasingly replaced by apartments and clusters and conversion of mud and clay houses to bricks and mortar ones. It is apocryphal to attribute this growth to higher disposable income. The Company believes that paint is a necessity and a part of the routine expenditure of a household. Unless painted, walls and structures lose their strength and metals corrode. This realization is sinking in. One other fact is that repainting is a much cheaper alternative to give a new and fresh look to a house than a major refurbishing work.

 

Subject is focusing on developing its premium emulsion category which has witnessed significant growth in the last few years. Moreover, through product innovation, it is trying to capture market opportunities for technically superior products in the decorative paints segment. In the forthcoming year, subject will try and bring newer varieties in various categories such as wood coatings, primers, distempers, interior finishes and texture coatings to cater to the market demand and address the carefully identified needs of the customers.

 

In the Industrial Category, comprising more than 20% of subject business, The Company believes that there is enough scope in uncharted areas and unexplored customers. With enhanced and sustained quality of products, The Company has commenced its efforts to get into these markets. New products in the areas of Floor Coatings, Road Marking Paints, Fire Proof / Retardant Solutions, etc., are expected to give a fillip to the Protective Coatings business where the spending on infrastructure has to rise in the long term. These will of course need focused efforts in R & D, Manufacturing and Marketing.

 

 

PROJECTS:

 

The first phase of the modern and automated water based paint plant at Hindupur in Andhra Pradesh is expected to be completed by the early second half of 2013. After the first phase, the capacity of the plant will be 80,000 MT/per annum. Once fully completed, the capacity of the plant will be 3,20,000 MT/per annum for water based paints and 1,00,000 MT/per annum for emulsions, used as intermediates in the production of these paints.

 

Subject has also initiated work on a separate unit at Hindupur for its British Paints Division which will  further augment Capacity by 30,000 MT of paints and 6,000 MT of resins per annum.

 

The Company is happy to report that the first phase of expansion of the water based plant at Rishra from 18,000 MT/per annum to 40,000 MT/per annum, with fully automatic filling line and robotic palletisation system has been completed in September, 2012. After the entire expansion is complete, the capacity of the water based paint will be 78,000 MT/per annum.

 

Work on expansion of the water based paint plant at Goa from 28,000 MT/per annum to 40,000 MT/per annum has also been completed. Based on demand, this can be further taken up to 78,000 MT/per annum.

 

Resin manufacturing capacity at Goa is being increased by 6,000 MT/per annum. Storage facilities of the plant are being simultaneously enhanced.

 

Subject is setting up a powder coating plant at Jejuri in Pune, Maharashtra with an initial capacity of 1,800 MT/per annum. This will be commissioned during the year. This can be enhanced to 3,600 MT/per annum in the future.
