Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

CHANGE IN THE FINANCIAL YEAR

 

In order to have uniform financial year under various legislations, the Company has decided to change the financial year from January-December to April-March. Accordingly, current annual accounts and this Report of the Company are for a period of 15 months from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. Therefore, the figures for the current period are not comparable with those of the 9 month period ended December 31, 2011.

 

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company adopted 5 strategic principles viz.

a. Become the low cost producer

b. Customer support excellence

c. World class operations and focus on safety, environment and productivity

d. Expand in printing and writing segments and

e. Create a performance culture. During the 15 month period ended March 31, 2013 the Company recorded:

a. paper production of 258,201 MT as against 160,565MT for the previous 9 month period ended December 31, 2011;

b. Revenue of Rs.12305.000 Milions from net sale of paper as against Rs.5952.300 Milions for the previous 9 month period ended December 31, 2011;

c. sales of 279,093 MT as compared to 1,39,786 MT. The Company managed to get a better Net Sales Realization per MT over the previous year due to upward price revisions across all grades and a change in the product mix;

d. Export volume of 37,819 MT as against 15,283 MT. Volume growth of 147% in exports accompanied by a sharp increase in prices improved net realization per MT;

e. EBIDTA of Rs.1387.700 Milions as against Rs.735.600 Milions

f. A loss of Rs.237.000 Milions in view of outage, abnormal increase in fibre cost, certain exceptional items and increase in legal and professional charges. The outage incurred at a cost of `35 crore, had a nun favourable impact on shipment of 13,000 MT. However, the outage completed without any LIFE incident resulted in increase in bleached pulp production and stabilization of power and paper machine performance.

 

NEW PROJECTS

 

During the financial year under review, the Company had commissioned various maintenance and up gradation projects for sustaining production levels with quality as well as regulatory projects for meeting regulatory norms and strategic projects as part of business strategy in Units: Rajahmundry and Kadiyam.

 

AWARDS/CERTIFICATIONS

 

The Company received second prize in appreciation of the achievements in Energy Conservation in Large Scale Industry Sector for the year 2011-12 from the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

 

The Company was also awarded the '2013 Award for Outstanding Rural Development' at the World CSR Congress in Mumbai. This award is in global recognition of Company's efforts in the areas of Social Development. The 2013 award recognizes the integrated CSR efforts undertaken by the Company in rural areas, combining farm forestry programs and social enrichment programs such as the Mamidilova Check Dam. The award was titled 'Corporate Social Responsibility -Rural Development' for improving the livelihood of farmers in the Mamidilova village.

 

The Company also received Forest Stewardship Council Certification (FSC), in respect of Unit: Kadiyam covering the production of paper using transfer and credit systems and sourcing of reclaimed material.

 

RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

 

RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

 

The Company concentrated its efforts to procure pulpwood from South India with focus on State of Andhra Pradesh for meeting its entire requirement despite unprecedented competition from other paper manufacturers in this area.

 

During the year,161.30 million quality saplings were distributed covering an area of 26,134 hectares under plantation against development and distribution of 120.70 million seedlings covering an extent of 16,823 hectares during the previous 2011 planting year. Research on clonal development has resulted in introduction of high yielding, disease resistant clones and versatile to a wide variety of agro-climatic conditions in inland and coastal areas. Research and Development initiatives with low cost planting techniques, quality seed material and high yielding, short rotation planting stock have enhanced raw material availability spread over more than 158,891 hectares. These benefits are extended to around 48,718 families creating employment resource pool of 79 million man-days especially in rural areas so far. Specific projects for infrastructure development and to provide better facilities in wood procurement areas were undertaken.

 

RAW MATERIALS

 

The paper industry requires a sustainable supply of wood to survive and flourish. Wood accounts for approximately30% of the cost of production. Any threat in supplies would adversely affect the survival of the paper industry .At APPM, the availability of raw material is given foremost priority. Every possible effort is made to encourage landowners in the vicinity of the mill to grow more than twice the number of trees than are required. They are also counseled on nurturing the trees so that availability is guaranteed.

 

Subabul and caesarian are the two varieties majorly used by APPM as raw materials for paper production. Both are natural resources, and therefore not taken for granted. The quality of products and customers' acceptance depends on the quality of raw materials and APPM's ability to deliver in a timely manner and it is imperative that availability is ensured, in the required quantities, of the specified quality/standard/specification for uninterrupted production processes. The risk is being mitigated by encouraging environment friendly farm forestry practices and assisting land owners to cultivate trees on fallow wastelands. For over two decades now, APPM has catalyzed the generation of raw materials in its catchment area through farm/social forestry. The Company ensures conservation and regeneration of natural resources, helps farmer’s to create sustainable income streams and in the process, protects adequate availability of quality raw materials for paper manufacture. These arrangements have been working satisfactorily in the past and APPM has been procuring the required raw material in sufficient quantities at competitive rates. The Company endeavors to ensure raw material security while enabling the farmers to avail remunerative prices, thus creating a sustainable future.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL SCENARIO

 

There is a paradigm shift in the global paper and paperboard industry, with Asia continuing to grow faster than the rest of the world. This trend is expected to continuein 2013, with developing countries expected to grow by6%. More significantly, China and India are expected to outpace and report higher than the regional average. Developed countries are expected to report a flat demand growth, as against a 2% decline that they saw in the past two years. India is likely to be one of the fastest rising markets at an estimated 6.5% growth. Overall, paper demand is unevenly distributed as 72%of the world's paper is consumed by 22% of the world’s population - in the US, Europe and Japan. The world demand for the material is expected to grow by around3% annually, reaching an estimated 490 million tons by2020, with significant growth coming out of Asia and Eastern Europe. The demographic trends and market dynamics are influencing several salutary actions in the industry worldwide, with emphasis on the following areas:

New, state-of-the-art facilities to replace older mills;

Focus on newer technology, efficiency improvements, cost reduction and cleaner production processes;

Adoption of sustainability concerns as part of the core operating principles;

Development and implementation of best practices in forest management;

Initiatives to conserve forests and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions;

Greater reliance on renewable resources, especially to increase plantations;

Improvement in balance between paper demand and capacity; and,

Increase in investment in research and development.

 

Industry experts believe that the 3600 enhancement across all aspects of the industry with special focus on newer technology, cost effectiveness and sustainability during a period of rising global demand will improve the customer interface while increasing the return on investment for manufacturers. Indeed, the industry is better placed to attract resources such as the United Nations Program on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and other carbon mitigation initiatives. The industry is acknowledged to be a responsible steward of forest resources, while such efforts have significantly added to the raw material security of the paper manufacturers. Worldwide, the industry has reduced its dependence on fossil fuels, conserved on energy consumption and cost, lowered water consumption, improved on air purity and is increasingly becoming non-CO2 intensive.

 

INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY

 

Indian paper industry accounts for about 3% of the world’s paper and paperboard production even though the country has nearly 17% of the global population. The per capita consumption in the country is estimated at 9.18kgs compared with 42 kgs in China, 350 kgs in developed countries and with global average at a healthy 58 kgs, implying a large scope for correction. Over the years, aspiration levels of the growing middleclass, improving standards of living, better educational opportunities and governmental support are some of the prime reasons for the rising trend in consumption. This trend is expected to continue. It is estimated that an increase in consumption by one kg per capita can potentially increase annual paper demand by a million tons.

 

Historically, the industry is more than 140 years old with the first mill having been commissioned in 1867. There are, at present, about 800 units engaged in the manufacture of paper and paperboards and newsprint in India. The country is almost self-sufficient in manufacture of most varieties of paper and paperboards. Import, however, is confined only to certain specialty papers. Over the years, in line with the improvement in the wellbeing of people and rising literacy and aspiration levels, paper usage has increased. The estimated turnover of the industry is Rs.3500.000 Milions approximately and the industry provides employment to more than 370,000people directly and 1,300,000 indirectly. Paper sector is dominated by small and medium size units; number of mills of capacity 50,000 MT per an numor more is not more than 25. Less than half a dozen mills account for almost 90% production of newsprint in the country. The industry was de licensed in July 1997 by the Government of India, which enabled foreign participation and investment in the domestic industry. Most of the paper mills have been in existence for a long time and hence present technologies fall in a wide spectrum ranging from oldest to the most modern. Today almost every person uses paper in one form or the other.

 

The industry has responded to the growth in demand and the installed capacity in India has risen from0.137 million MT per annum in 1951 to the approximately10.1 million MT. This includes capacity expansion of approximately 2.5 million MT in the recent past. A brief analysis of the industry structure reveals that W&Ppaper capacity is 3.5 million MT, of which 85% constitutes uncoated paper and the balance being coated varieties. The uncoated varieties comprise of cream wove (46%),maplitho (23%) and copier papers (16%).Out of the 10.1 million MT capacity referred above, paperboard (packaging paper) accounts for 5 million MT. In the industrial paper & paperboard category, 58% of the products such as kraft paper are used in tertiary packaging and the remaining 42% constitute consumer packaging. Of the total industry cake, newsprint accounts for 1.9million MT capacity and specialty paper holds the balance0.6 million MT.In effect, industrial paper constitutes 45.5% and W&P makes up another 32%. Newsprint accounts for 17% and the balance capacity is in the specialty paper category. Overall, the industry is working to 84% capacity utilization. The industry is further categorized on the basis of raw material used for manufacturing paper into forest-based(with a share of 21%), agro-based (23%) and recycled fiber-based paper (56%).The mills use a variety of raw material viz. wood, bamboo, recycled fibre, bagasse, wheat straw, rice husk, etc. Approximately 35% are based on chemical pulp, 44% on recycled fibre and 21% on agro-residues. There is a growing need to modernize the Indian mills, improve productivity and build new capacities. Indian paper industry is capital, energy and water intensive, highly fragmented and has sub-optimal economies of scale due to use of obsolete technology.

 

There is, however, a perceptible transformation in the industry. Medium and larger domestic producer’s have been focusing on reducing cost of product and improving quality of finished product. Some of the initiatives taken by them include increasing the size of machines with high speed features, upgrading to new machine technology and increasing farm plantation activities. The Indian paper industry is the world's fastest growing paper market. The paper industry performance is highly correlated with the macro economic trends and is often demonstrated by an analogous directional move. Over the years, the beta between the growth trends of GDP and paper industry is nearly one. During the same 5 year period referred above, paper industry demand has grown at an average 0.9x multiple of GDP.

 

 

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Subject ("APPM"/"the Company") is an integrated pulp and paper manufacturer.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

Finished paper production for the 15-month period ending March 2013 was 258,202 MT as compared to 160,667MT in the 9-month financial year ending December 2011.Unbleached pulp production was 217,632 MT during the reporting period as compared to 139,876 MT in the previous financial year. Paper sales were 279,093 MT comprising 241,334 MT in the domestic market and 37,819 MT as export sales. In 2011, in comparison, domestic paper sales were124,503 MT while export sales were 15,283 MT. Gross domestic net sales realization was 3.7% higher over the previous year at `46,567 per MT with export realization  higher by 5.8% at `44,446. The Company managed toget a better net sales realization per MT over the previous year partly due to better market conditions and revisions in the price list across all grades.

 

During the fifteen months ending March 2013, the net revenue from operations totaled Rs.1230.500 Milions, while Other Income was Rs.231.100 Milions. Total revenue for the period was therefore Rs.12536.100 Milions. Earnings before interest, depreciation and taxation(EBIDTA) were at Rs.1387.700 Milions (before adjusting for one time charges) constituting 11.28% of the net revenue from operations. In the previous financial year 2011, the corresponding amount was Rs.1125.800 Milions accounting for 18.73% of the revenue. Lower EBIDTA is also a function of the sensitivity attached to the demand cycles. Market demand, volume sold and prevailing prices are normalized in a 12-month cycle and hence are not comparable with a 15-month review periodending March 2013.Interest and Finance Charges for the 15 month period were Rs.553.600 Milions as against Rs.361.000 Milions for the 9 month period. There was an annualized saving of 8% p.a. over the previous reporting period. The savings were driven by restructuring of debt portfolio. The foreign exchange fluctuation during the period was in the range of Rs.48.60 to Rs.57.12 per US Dollar representing 17.50% movement. The loss on account of adverse movement in foreign exchange rates was Rs.20.000 Milions during the reporting period as compared to Rs.79.000 Milions in the previous reporting period. Profitability was also affected due to higher input cost (substantially on account of the inflationary conditions in the economy).
