CURRENT PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The financial year 2012-13 was a challenging one for the global as well as the Indian economy. While the world economy grew at 2.3%, the Indian economy grew at a mediocre 5%, and against this backdrop, the company has registered a growth in revenue of 11% for the year ended 31st March, 2013. This muted growth compared with the previous years has been a result of slowdown in demand from the international markets, a slow automotive growth in India and low commodity prices. Despite recessionary trends in its major markets of Europe and North America, the company was able to grow export revenues on the back of entry into new geographies and introduction of reclaim rubber into new applications. The export presence of the company contributes 65% share of total revenue and the company's exports account for a commendable 50% of India's reclaim rubber exports. The domestic markets are going through a challenging phase, with an overcapacity of tyre production, a not so encouraging growth in the automobile sales and a weak infrastructure sector leading to lower mining activity and consequently lower demand for related products. In these trying circumstances, the company was able to enlarge market share among the organized consumers of reclaim rubber in India and maintain a dominant share overall.

 

The company's marginal growth in volume has not mirrored the ability to pass on input price increases through to the customers. With reduction in global prices of natural rubber, synthetic rubber and most other compounding ingredients, there has been considerable pressure on the company to reduce prices. Owing to the company's standing in the industry and deep customer relationships, the company has been able to ward off price reduction pressures and maintain its price position across all markets. Increase in input costs, on the other hand depressed margins, with raw materials accounting a major portion of total input cost pressure. Alternate uses of end of life tyres for pyrolysis, as fuel in cement industry and for road surfacing have put the supply chain under pressure and continue to reflect in higher prices. The company has invested in the past in captive power generation plants to meet its energy demand. With Natural Gas prices rising unabated and grid tariffs rising by upto 30% per unit, energy costs have further burdened operating margins. The company was unable to utilize capacity at its plant in Perundurai (Tamil Nadu) due to unavailability of adequate power resulting in poor efficiencies.

 

The performance of the company in the industrial polymers business unit continues to inspire confidence for the future and several R&D initiatives undertaken to improve product quality are beginning to bear fruit. The company hopes to undertake commercial scale operations based on the R&D in the current year to augment the existing capacities of industrial polymers.

 

The achievements of the company have been acknowledged as follows:-

The K .M. Philip Gold Medal awarded to Mr. Rajendra Gandhi, Vice Chairman and Managing Director for his outstanding contribution to the growth and development of the Indian Rubber industry

All India Rubber Industries Association's Top Export Award in the Raw Material sector

Industry 2.0's Green and Sustainable manufacturing Certificate of Achievement to Mr. Harsh Gandhi, Executive Director for the company's initiatives in building a sustainable supply chain

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

Industry Structure and Development

 

A key ingredient of economic growth in developed as well as developing industries has been the growth and expansion of the automotive sector by way of increasing penetration of vehicle ownership - commercial as well as personal. Vehicle proliferation leads to increased usage of tyres and like all other tyres too have an end-of-life state when they either need to be discarded or recycled. Accumulation of end-of-life tyres is a world-wide issue receiving attention of governments as well as the producing and consuming industry. Of the many alternatives available for addressing the end-of-life tyres issue is recycling these to manufacture reclaim rubber. The result is recovery of resources and maintenance of environmental balance.

 

Over the last few decades, reclaim rubber has carved out an important role for itself as a key ingredient in majority of rubber products - tyre as well as non-tyre. Non tyre sector includes conveyor belting, automotive profiles, hoses, flooring and roofing applications, civil engineering etc. Being price stable it has helped these industries in not only avoiding price uncertainty but also optimising product cost. This has led to a growing demand for reclaim rubber around the world, a demand which is expected to sustain as the need to conserve resources, remain environment focused and optimizing product costs remains a priority for all industries.

 

The custom die forms business of the company is a unique business where end-of-life tyres are used for their residual mechanical properties to cater to specialist requirements ranging from global agricultural equipment manufacturers to dock bumper pads and industrial floor mats, mainly in North America. Since India continues to be the largest source of truck bias tyres (raw material for these products), we expect this business to be robust for many years to come.

 

 

Segment wise or Product wise performance

 

In accordance with the Accounting Standard-17 notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, the company has classified its business into two reportable business segments based on nature of business.

 

a) Reclaim Rubber:

This segment comprises of reclaim rubber sheets for tyre and non-tyre rubber goods industries. The company continues to be the market leader in reclaim rubber segment. The company has achieved a 12% growth in this segment in the current financial year as compared to previous year.

The total sales under this segment is Rs.2654.879 Millions lakhs for the financial year.

 

b) Windmill:

The company has invested in Windmill at Kuchhadi in Gujarat in the financial year 2009-10. For the power units generated by Windmill, the company gets credit in its electricity bill of its Panoli plant in Gujarat.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Global demand for rubber has been forecast to reach 27.6 million tons during the year 2013, by the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG, November 12, 2012). Going by past trends, this should result in a growth for reclaim rubber as well. GRP believes that its brand equity, wide customer acceptance and enhanced global distribution footprint will help it in taking advantage of this. Going forward while economic growth is expected to remain moderate, if automotive growth returns to India and some key markets around the world (USA, South Asia, Far East), reclaim rubber growth can return to the trend it was witnessing till a year ago. Europe, however, is expected to remain subdued with large parts of EU still unable to come out of their economic woes. For GRP, this region constitutes a significant share of its business and hence has impacted growth; but the company has prudently targeted its efforts to grow business in Latin America, CIS countries and South Asia, regions largely expected to grow in the next few years.

 

CRISIL Research has forecast that India should grow at 6.7% in the financial year 2013-14 - an improvement over the financial year 2012-13. Going with this trend, for GRP, India will continue to remain a focus market with its share in overall business expected to improve in the next year.
