INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for 2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14.  Total economic growth, infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey.  Projects with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous year.  The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn. 550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as compared to with a year earlier. The National  Capital Region has a one-fourth share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year. The Information Technology and IT-Enabled  Services Industry retained its status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and awareness among depositors.  According to the plan, deposits that have not been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Incorporated in 1938, subject is a manufacturer of paper and paper board in India, and its fully integrated pulp and paper mill and captive power plant is located at Sirpur Kaghaznagar, Andhra Pradesh, India. Its production commenced in 1942 with a capacity of 5,000 TPA. The present installed capacity of the mill is 138,300 TPA.

 

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The Company produced 83,085 MT of pulp and paper during the year as compared to 99,543 MT produced in the previous year and sales was 83,789 MT as compared to 98,079 MT in the previous year. The gross operating revenue during the year was Rs.3765.200 Millions as compared to Rs.4106.100 Millions in 2011-12. Capacity utilization was 60% since production was affected mainly due to an unfortunate accident in the Chemical (Soda) Recovery Plant at their mills at Sirpur-Kaghaznagar in April, 2012 which resulted in complete shutdown of the production process and loss of production for about 45 days.

 

Further, the severe power cuts by the state grid throughout the year, had a crippling effect on the operations resulting in shut down of one paper machine for most part of the year leading to tapered production.

 

The loss before other items, finance costs, depreciation and tax was Rs.146.000 Millions compared to profit of Rs.497.900 Millions in the previous year. There was steep increase in prices of wood, power and other major inputs which could not be passed on to the customers. Availability of wood in traditional sourcing areas in Andhra Pradesh declined considerably causing demand-supply mismatch which led to continuous increase in the prices throughout the year. Due to low availability of cheaper species of wood, the Company had to resort to procurement of other costlier species of wood. The situation was aggravated since wood had to be procured from distant locations and from outside the state, which further added to the cost. As a result, the cost of wood during the year increased by 40%.

 

Simultaneously, cost of coal during the year increasedby 20% due to massive short supply of coal from Singareni Collieries during the rainy season which forced the Company to procure from private suppliers and distant places at much higher prices.

 

The power prices increased by about 70% during the year and additional consumption of coal and  furnace oil in order to cope with the severe power cuts in the state has also affected the profitability. The Company's incessant efforts towards control on cost and wastages, better input yield and improvement in productivity resulted in savings in consumption of inputs per MT of product which, to an extent, offset the impact of the input price rise.

 

The financial year ended with net loss after tax of Rs.971.000 Millions as against Rs.173.100 Millions in 2011-12.

 

 

FINANCE

 

The Company's finances have been strained due to continuous losses for the past four years. After considerable deliberations, the Company sought flexibility from the lenders and a comprehensive restructuring of its outstanding debt was approved by the lenders under the Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) scheme. The Company has been sanctioned a moratorium of principal and interest for 21 months from the cut off date i.e. April 1, 2012 and the payment of interest commences from January 2014 and that of principal from March 2014. There are no over dues in respect of any of the bank borrowings by the Company as on date.

 

In view of the approval of the CDR package, the interest rates has adjusted towards lower side marginally, though fresh loans by way of Funded Interest Term Loan (FITL) increased the overall finance cost to Rs.4.488 Millions as against Rs.4.187 Millions during 2011-12. The Company's management is committed to honouring its obligations, while it finds ways and means to lower the cost of production, improve volumes and enhance profitability.

 

The Company continues to avail sales tax deferment loan under Andhra Pradesh State Government policy and remains eligible for incentives under Industrial Incentive Scheme, 2005.

 

 

REPORTING TO BIFR

 

The accumulated losses of the Company at the end of financial year as on March 31, 2013 have resulted in erosion of more than fifty percent of its peak net worth during the immediately preceding four financial years. While the Company is taking necessary steps to protect further erosion, the Company will report to the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction about such erosion of net worth as envisaged under Section 23 of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 upon finalization of duly audited accounts of the Company for the financial year ended March 31, 2013. Members are requested to take note of this erosion and consider the same at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. A report on causes of erosion of net worth and steps taken by the Company is forming part of the notice of Annual General Meeting.

 

 

PLANTATION

 

The availability of wood, their principal raw material, has seen a decline during the year. However, the Company has stepped up its initiative to augment raw material availability by distributing large quantities of planting material i.e. seeds, seedlings of subabul and quality clones of eucalyptus plants at subsidized rates to achieve higher yield. Managers of the Company also gave technical guidance and trained the farmers in various farming activities for achieving better results.

 

 

AWARDS AND ACCOLADES

 

For the year 2012, in appreciation of its achievements in energy conservation in the paper and pulp sector, the Company has been awarded the First Prize by Ministry of Power, Government of India. This prestigious National Award was received by Mr. Devashish Poddar, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of the Company from Hon'ble President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee, in the presence of Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hon'ble Minister for Power, Government of India, and several distinguished guests on December 14, 2012.

 

The Company has been declared winner of 'First Prize for Energy Conservation' in Small and Medium Scale Industry Category for the year 2011-12 by New and Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh Limited, and the award was received at a function held on December 20, 2012 at Hyderabad.

 

The Company has also bagged the 'Innovative Environmental Project-2012' and National Award for Excellence in Water Management-2012, both instituted by Confederation of Indian Industries.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

 

Early in 2013, the outlook for the global paper industry turned positive based on the expectation that the industry's global operating income is likely to increase by about 6% over the next 12 to 18 months, according to the rating agency Moody's in its industry outlook update on the sector.

 

Earnings from North American paper packaging are expected to drive most of the growth for the industry in the next year and will offset the weaker earnings facing European and Latin American producers, as well as the ongoing decline in paper consumption in most developed markets.

 

North American paper packaging companies account for almost 60% of the rated global industry's operating profit. Operating earnings of North American paper packaging producers are expected to improve as a result of higher pricing, modest demand increases, synergies from recent acquisitions and productivity and expansion projects.

 

At the same time, the situation will remain challenging for most European paper producers, which are likely to see their operating income decline in 2013 and 2014 due to lower prices consequent to reduced demand for paper. European paper volumes would decline because of persistent euro area macroeconomic weakness and the structural decline in demand for paper.

 

Similarly, Latin American pulp producers' operating income will decline due to weakening prices for market pulp. In addition, the ramping-up of three significant eucalyptus pulp mills in Brazil and Uruguay will test the global market's ability to absorb a significant spike in supply in the coming 12 to 18 months.

 

 

INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY

 

The per capita consumption in India stands at only 9.3 kgs as against 42 kgs in China, 22 kgs in Indonesia, 25 kgs in Malaysia and 312 kgs in the US. Indian paper industry is classified into three main segments - paperboard and industrial packaging comprising ~45% of the industry, followed by writing and printing paper (WPP) accounting for ~35% and newsprint and others covering ~20% of the domestic paper production.

 

It is notable that India, the 15th largest paper manufacturer, is one of the world's fastest growingpaper market; producing however, only ~1.6% of its total output.

 

India is self sufficient in most paper segments, except for newsprint and higher grades of WPP papers on account of non-availability of superior quality of pulp.

 

Around 60% of domestic demand for newsprint is met through imports due to inverted duty structure, poor economies of scale and inferior product quality in comparison to international producers.

 

Long-term demand outlook for the Indian paper industry remains favourable driven by increasing literacy levels, rising income levels, growth in print media (including all the vernacular languages), higher government spending on education sector, changing urban lifestyles, greater thrust on industrialisation, improving demography as well as economic growth. Increased outlays and efficient targeting would lead to a better performance of the WPP segment.

 

Rising circulation of newspaper/journals/magazines due to higher literacy rate, greater focus of print media companies on regional content and improved demand traction from corporate sector due to higher advertisement spending is likely to help the newsprint segment grow at a higher CAGR up to 2016-17, than the growth of 4.9% during the period 2008-12.

 

Given that these factors are likely to be sustained, the paper industry is to continue growing at a rate of 6-8% in the medium to long term although there may be aberrant years given the cyclical nature of the industry. In addition, the preparation for general elections will provide further fillip to paper demand in 2013-14, says ICRA in its study on Indian paper industry.

 

According to the rating agency ICRA, the low per capita consumption of paper provides tremendous potential for growth in paper demand. Further the capacity addition programme in the domestic paper industry has now come to an end and there has been considerable slowdown in new project announcement and completion. With the recent capacity additions coming to completion, any fresh announcements is unlikely in the near term and with gestation period of 24-30 months for new capacities, supply side pressures have started easing. ICRA expects 0.35 million tonnes of capacities to be added during 2013-14 and 0.3 million tonnes in 2014-15 (as against current capacity of 13 million tonnes).

 

Assuming a moderate growth of 6.4% per annum, the market would expand by 0.7 million tonnes annually which would be sufficient to absorb the new capacities that will come up in the next 2-3 years. The Indian paper industry is expected to grow at a rate of ~6.4% CAGR to 15.5-16 MT up to 2016-17, as compared to a 5.7% CAGR between 2008-12 (Estimated).

 

However, the favourable demand-supply dynamics may not immediately translate into higher profits for paper companies. The cost for most of the key inputs is currently at a very high level and domestic coal and wood prices are still increasing at a rapid pace. The ability of the companies to pass on these costs will remain the key to profitability. Companies with better cost and capital structures and a diversified portfolio of products would be better placed to endure the pressures in the medium term.

 

The paper industry reported robust growth in revenues during the financial years 2008-13 driven by steady growth in consumption levels and increase in realisations. This period also saw steady increase in the cost of inputs such as wood, chemicals, coal etc. Over-supply scenario, rising cost pressures and increasing competitive pressures from imports made it increasingly difficult for the paper mills to pass on these cost increases. As a result, the operating profitability of the industry came under pressure in the financial years 2011-12 and 2012-13.

 

According to ICRA's sample study, the average operating margins of the companies declined from 21.9% in 2007-08 to 15.8% in 2012-13. Though pricing flexibility has improved marginally with an improvement in demand-supply dynamics, in ICRA's view, the profitability of paper mills continues to remain under pressure due to rising costs of raw material, coal and chemicals. Further, high depreciation and interest costs on account of debt funded capital expenditure undertaken by the industry have resulted in pressure on paper companies as reflected by decline in net profitability from 11.3% in 2007-08 to 1.4% in 2012-13.

 

The funding of capacity expansion projects through bank borrowings led to increase in gearing levels of paper companies from the lows of 2005-06. High gearing levels (in the range of 2-3 times as on March 31, 2012) coupled with decline in profitability has put pressure on the debt coverage indicators of the industry.

 

It is known fact that Indonesia and China have been continuously expanding their share in Indian market as they enjoy several advantages in their country. Their economies are driven by exports and the Indian paper industry has started feeling the heat from these sources, as well.

 

In sum, the industry has enormous demand-led opportunities to improve volumes and revenues, while margins are under severe pressure largely due to the external environment and for conditions beyond its control. These are testing times for the economics of the industry.

 

 

SIRPUR PAPER - A PERSPECTIVE

 

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

 

The year opened with unfortunate incidents affecting production, cost increases and power availability affecting production, which impacted marketing efforts. There has been significant increase in key cost elements viz. raw material, coal, power, etc without commensurate increase in the selling price which had an adverse impact on margins. The Company however strived to hold the product quality and customer interface. The severe pressure on raw material availability added to the uncertainties in a highly price sensitive and competitive market.

 

Yet, it is gratifying that the gross operating revenue was lower only by 8.3% at Rs.3765.200 Millions as compared to Rs.4106.100 Millions in the previous year since the Company made every effort to hold its market and customers.

 

The Company looks forward to new product development to enter new niche segments so as to improve profitability apart from improving the quality and product mix for existing product lines.

 

 

RAW MATERIAL

 

Due to heavy competition, availability of wood in Andhra Pradesh declined considerably causing demand supply mismatch thereby increasing the cost of wood by about 40%. Costlier wood had to be procured due to low availability of cheaper species of wood. Although the company sourced most of the wood from within the state, some of it was procured from distant places and outside the state which further added to the cost.

 

The Company continued its efforts in the development of pulp wood plantations in its catchment areas through supply of planting material and technical guidance to the farmers to augment supplies.

 

 

MANUFACTURING

 

Production volume was 83,085 MT as against 99,543 MT achieved in 2011-12. Lower production is due to breakdown of chemical (soda) recovery plant. As a result, entire mill remained shut for about 45 days. Capacity utilisation got seriously affected due to acute shortage of power as Government of Andhra Pradesh imposed severe restriction and control measures for all the industries. Inspite of these setbacks, by process optimization and conservation steps, reduction in the consumption of steam, power and water could be achieved apart from reducing the fibre loss.

 

Steps are on to further reduce consumption.Preventive maintenance coupled with root cause analysis and rectification works minimised the breakdown of boilers and other equipment increasing the up time of the mill.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company passed through several challenges during 2012-13, especially breakdown of chemical recovery boiler and restricted availability of power from the state grid, which adversely impacted capacity utilization of the mill. Hike in the prices of raw material, coal and power tariff had a telling effect on the financial performance of the Company.

 

While steps have been taken to prevent such major breakdowns, the mill is now focusing on improving the profitability, by going in for manufacture of niche paper products. Continuous efforts are ongoing to enhance production volumes and product quality for better customer satisfaction.

 

Concerted efforts are being made to reduce raw material and chemical consumption and eliminate/ minimize wastages in a bid to improve profitability. Further, despite resource constraints, the Company is exploring possibilities to increase captive power generation. The Company is exploring ways to cope with the severe stress due to shortage of raw material that confronts the industry.

 

The Indian paper industry is expected to grow at a rate of ~6.4% CAGR to 15.5-16 MT up to 2016-17, as compared to a 5.7% CAGR between 2008-12 (Estimated). Low per capita consumption of paper provides tremendous potential for growth in paper demand. Sirpur Paper shall strive to improve on the industry average.

 

The paper industry is expected to see firm prices and volume trends over the next 12 months, enabling the manufacturers to improve margins.

 

Every business carries risks and uncertainties that can affect financial conditions, results of operations and prospects. The Company regularly identifies and assesses the risks associated with its business and correspondingly coordinates optimum resource application to minimise their impact.
