INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

N E W S

 

The economy grew 4.7 %in 2013/14, marking a second straight year of sub-5 % growth – the worst slowdown in more than a quarter of a century. The data was below an official estimate of 4.9 % annual growth and compared with 4.5 % in the last fiscal year. However, the current account deficit narrowed sharply to $ 32.4 billion at 1.7 % of gross domestic product, in 2013/14 from a record high of $ 98.8 billion or 4.7 %, the year before.A sharp fall in gold imports due to restrictions on overseas purchases and muted import of capital goods helped shrink the current account deficit.

 

Online retailer Flipkart has acquired fashion portal Myntra as it prepares to battle with the rapidly expanding India arm of the global e-commerce giant Amazon. The company raised $ 210 million from Russian Investment firm DST Global which has also invested in companies like Facebook, Twitter and Alibaba Group.

 

General Motors will start exporting vehicles from its Talegaon plant near Pune in the second half of 2014. GM was one of the few global carmakers that was using its India plant only for the domestic market.

Infosys lost another heavy weight when B G Srinivas, a board member put in his papers. He is the third CEO-hopeful to quit after Chairman N R Narayana Murthy’s return to the company – Ashok Vemuri and V Balakrishnan being the other two.While Vemuri went on to lead IGate, Balakrishnan joined politics.

 

Naresh Goyal – promoted Jet Airways posted biggest quarterly loss – Rs 2153.37 crore – in the three months ended March 31, mainly because it has been offering discounts to passengers to fill planes.

 

William S Pinckney – Chairman and CEO of Amway India was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Police in connection with a complaint against the direct selling firm. This is the second time that he has been taken into custody. A year, ago the Kerala Police had arrested Pinckney and two company directors on charges of financial irregularities.

 

China has told its state-owned enterprises to sever links with American consulting firms after the United States charged five Chinese military officers wih hacking US companies. China’s action which targets consultancies like McKinsey & Co. and the Boston Consulting Group, sterns from fears that the first are providing trade secrets to the US governments.

 

India has emerged as a country with some of the highest unregistered businesses in the world. Indonesia has the maximum number of shadow businesses, says a study of 68 countries by Imperial College Business School in London.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Subject is a producer of plastic packaging material in the form of multilayer collapsible tubes and laminates used primarily for packaging of toothpaste, personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household and industrial products.

 

 

REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS:

 

The Company is a leading manufacturer globally of Laminated and Plastic Collapsible tubes and laminates. Its products are extensively used by industry in packaging of their products in categories such as cosmetics, foods, pharmaceuticals and toothpaste. The packaging industry, more so for viscous and creamy products, continues to grow given its symbiotic linkage to Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). The FMCG industry is a key driver of economic growth globally, and will continue in future too given the major demographic shift in the developed world and fast improving standards of living in the developing markets. As a leader in the tube space that packages creamy products, the Company is constantly striving to grow the market and gain share through innovative offerings and efficient supply chain.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW:

 

The Company is in the business of plastic packaging materials, manufacturing and marketing globally a wide range of laminated and extruded plastic tubes, caps and closures and flexible laminates.

 

Tubes are eminently suited for packing viscous products such as pastes, gels and creams. Besides preserving and protecting the product from elements and preserving freshness, flavor and fragrance, tubes as a packaging form offer superior value proposition in terms of ease of dispensing the product, hygienic storage in a multiple usage situation and excellent brand visibility on retail shelves. Tubes hitherto a popular packaging form for toothpastes and pharma ointments, are now fast becoming a favoured packaging worldwide for a range of consumer products such as face creams, hair conditioners, shaving creams, cosmetics and shampoo.

 

Caps and closures are integral part of tubes that help keep the products safe, free from contamination and unexposed to air following every use. These are variously designed especially in case of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, skin and personal care products, so as to enhance the aesthetics of the pack, improve the convenience of storing and to provide novelty of dispensing the product. Typical designs include stand-up caps, flip top caps etc. Closures thus become additional brand differentiators.

 

Flexible laminates on the other hand, find use as pouches, sachets and wrappers for packing solid, powder and liquid products. They offer excellent brand visibility at low cost. A number of products use these laminates, such as detergent powders, soap tablets, staple and processed foods, confectionaries, oils, shampoos, biscuits, chocolates, pharmaceuticals etc.

 

The Company pioneered laminated tubes in India. Over the last 30 years, the Company has transformed into a leading global player in laminated tubes, manufacturing and selling over 6 billion tubes across 12 countries. The products that get packed into the Company’s tubes are the Fast Moving Consumer goods and pharmaceuticals which touch the lives of billions of consumers in many more countries across the world. In fact, the Company’s tubes provide the consumers with the first experience of the brands they package. The plastic extruded tubes and the flexible laminates are relatively recent forays by the Company targeting select markets viz. India, Europe and the USA in the case of plastic extruded tubes and India in the case of flexible plastic laminates. The Company’s key strengths include a strong domain knowledge of polymers and plastic structures coupled with nano technology, proven Research and Development capability, global customer network and a vertically integrated manufacturing model that helps the Company to respond to market needs speedily. The Company thus makes printed, decorated and capped tubes from polymer granules.

 

The market for the Company’s products is huge in the developed economies of Europe and America. It is growing rapidly in the emerging economies of Asia, Africa and Latin America driven by a booming Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry.  As the disposable income in these markets grows, both the usage and sophistication of packaging is witnessing a sea change. Tubes in a sense are a more evolved and sustainable form of packaging, and in the long term stand to benefit from conversion from other packaging forms such as bottles and jars. This trend is very visible specially in the developed markets opening up for the Company a large market in the non-oral care categories. Also, the aluminium tube hitherto popular for packaging of pharmaceutical ointments/ gels is set to be replaced by laminated tube given the developments in barrier technology for laminates and newer dispensing systems. This again is opening up a large global market for the Company’s laminated tubes.

 

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

 

During FY 14, the Company’s global sales grew 16% and operating profits 22.4% on top of a similar performance in the previous year. Operating margin expanded by 60 bps. Key factors contributing to this are:

 

  • A strong turnaround in the European operations, led by the Poland unit ramping up on back of large long term contract and cutting its operating losses by 58% and the German unit strongly recovering in volume and profitability.

 

  • The improved profitability of the Americas region, helped by higher operational efficiencies in the US unit and sales expansion in the Latin America units.

 

  • Continued double digit growth and high capacity utilization in the India tubing operations.

 

  • Expansion of non-oral care category, which accounted for 39.1% of sales during the year.

 

  • Improvement in asset productivity, including reduction in inventory days.

 

  • Strong customer engagement leading to new business with existing and new customers.

 

 

SEGMENT PERFORMANCE REVIEW:

 

The Company’s key business is in plastic packaging materials. The business is managed by four geographical segments viz.

 

  1. Americas (with operations in the USA, Mexico and Colombia)

 

  1. Europe (with operations in the UK, Germany, Poland and Russia)

 

  1. AMESA - Africa, Middle East and South Asia (with operations in Egypt and India)

 

  1. EAP - East Asia Pacific (with operations in China, Philippines and Indonesia)

 

 

FINANCE:

 

During the year, the Company achieved a significant reduction in its global Finance cost by 11% or Rs. 98 mio over the previous year. Average borrowing rate reduced sharply by 140 bps globally. This was achieved through proactive management of the borrowings and improved credit rating. Overall debt level was managed through continuous monitoring of the operating cash flows, judicious capex commitments and working capital controls. Consequently the net debt as at end of FY 14 reduced by Rs. 350.000 millions in constant exchange terms as compared to FY 13. Debt service capability ratio and the interest cover improved by over 20% over the previous year and now make a healthy balance sheet. Inventory control was made stringent during the year and the operating management was made accountable for ageing inventory in a move to weed out inefficiencies. This should pave way for leaner operations in the coming years. Foreign currency exposures are closely monitored and hedged through forward contracts and open exposures are controlled within limits. Consequently, the forex loss in the Profit and Loss account is only Rs. 3.900 millions for the global operations.

 

 

OUTLOOK:

 

The performance of the business over the last two years has been satisfying. The strategy for growth is clear. The Company’s existing business can grow three times over as the market eco-system has been expanded as explained elsewhere in this report. Global customers are seen consolidating their sourcing with global suppliers like the Company. Even more exciting is the long term growth opportunity presented by the cosmetics, hair care and personal care FMCG brands converting from other packaging forms into laminated tubes.
