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.

COMPANY OVERVIEW:

 

 

The Company is a public company incorporated as “Biax Films Limited” on November 26, 1997 under the Companies Act, 1956; the present name was adopted w.e.f. September 22, 1998. Equity shares of the Company are listed on Calcutta Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange and are admitted for trading on Bombay Stock Exchange. Organized into operating divisions for operational convenience, the Company is engaged mainly in the business of Polymers Processing at multiple locations and is the leading manufacturer in India of Coextruded Plastic Sheets, Thermoformed Liners and Speciality Films (including Dielectric Films and special purpose BOPP Films).

 

 

REVIEW OF KEY BUSINESS MATTERS

 

Domestic economic conditions remain stressed. The global economy is struggling to effectively recover. A number of developed economies are in various degrees of recession, and growth in many developing countries is affected by its spill-over. This is impacting consumer sentiments and demand. Indian economic growth, decelerated to about 5%, the weakest in a decade, facing challenges from unfavourable global and domestic factors and the slump has spread to both consumption and exports. The manufacturing sector continued a sharp decline in growth from 2.7% in 2011-12 to 1.9% in 2012-13. Industry faced unprecedented headwinds, with domestic demand across many sectors including consumer durables and capital goods remaining muted, a weakening currency, and high inflation and interest rates. Corporate earnings across a wide spectrum appear to be significantly affected.

 

In the circumstances, the Company’s markets and its operations were subject to many severe challenges, as a

result of which the profit performance, particularly in the last 3 quarters of the year under review, has been at its

lowest since inception. The Company had to contend with cost increase across the board, including steep increases in power tariff (in some cases with retrospective effect). Sales from continuing businesses were lower at Rs.2526.200 Millions against Rs.2701.700 Millions last year and their gross profits fell to Rs.36.000 Millions from Rs.185.700 Millions. Performance is dealt with in greater detail in the Managements’ Discussion and Analysis Report.

 

These conditions are however reasonably viewed by us as transient. The potential for the Company’s end markets continues to be robust and Management is confident of the competitiveness and quality of its product offerings. Shareholders can observe from these reports and accounts that the Company is nearing completion of significant investments – actually the largest in its history – to strengthen and expand its core operations through a prudent mix of its own liquidity and by leveraging its sound financial standing. All the new investments are expected to be on line in a few months and after a stabilization period, during which we expect the burden of the interest and deprecation to keep the bottom line under some pressure, the investments should be in a position to generate attractive returns under normal market and economic conditions, subject of course to relevant risks.

 

The strategic intent of the management is towards specialization in certain types of polymer films (including thin,

dielectric and metalized films). The plants at Barjora and Pithampur concentrate on thin BOPP Films for special

applications and the Company remains the only indigenous producer of such films. On the general product side, the Indian BOPP Films industry has a situation of significant over-supply resulting in about 52% capacity utilisation and obvious fierce competition and un-remunerative pricing. As a consequence Biax Division reported lower sales, volumes and deeply impacted financial results. The consumer durables industry, particularly refrigerators, (significant client base for Coex Division) had negative growth. The Company however was able to maintain marginally reduced volumes though value additions were lower. The Company has continuously taken measures to improve operations, trim overheads, control discretionary spend and strengthen liquidity.

 

Employees Stock Option (“ESOP”) Schemes are implemented in accordance with SEBI Guidelines. Details of

options granted and outstanding along with other particulars, as required, are annexed hereto.

 

COMPANY AND INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

Company operations are focused in their segment of core competence viz. Polymers Business and following disposal of the Thermo sets Division structured into 2 operating Divisions. Each operating division has been kept self-sufficient managerially to perform its own duties and functions, with support provided at a corporate level as and when required. A summary of performance is given below.

The industry structure in the field of polymers processing is spread wide, from miniscule to fairly large capacities. There is no direct thumb-rule in terms of "sizevs. Profitability" and it is possible for players to work out their own viable economics depending upon various factors, mainly a combination of product mix and market segment or niche. Supply chain linkages to clients play an additional role for some. Since polymers are freely available at prices synchronized to global prices, market focus besides technical and service competence has been the key to success.

 

It is fair to say that the Company is a mid-sized player with significant strengths in its market segments, but remains subject to usual market pressures. In the overall, the Company’s operations are relatively capital intensive; raw material and power constitute the largest proportions of direct costs. hey believe that opportunities are substantial both in terms of market growth and product diversity and that threats from replacement products are not significant. The main raw materials used by the Company are Thermoplastic Resins (such as Polypropylene, Styrenic Polymers and LD/LLD Polyethylene, etc.).

 

They firmly recognize that total customer satisfaction is the key to their success. Their aim is to build sound customer relationships through creation of value for them, and in the process earn an equitable return for themselves. Quality is built into products through appropriate manufacturing technology and work methods. Manufacturing at all units is carried out by suitably qualified personnel under strict quality standards. Continuous product development for specific applications has helped us in proactively developing technically sustainable solutions with clear customer benefits. Quality Systems at all manufacturing units are certified under relevant ISO 9001:2008 standards.

 

Biax Division

 

Biax Division manufactures a range of coextruded Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene ("BOPP") Films and Dielectric Films on sophisticated, automated production lines, having multipurpose use in applications ranging from food packaging to specialized films for use in electronics, besides being used for print lamination, cigarette overwraps, adhesive tape etc. Per capita consumption of packaging products in the Asia-Pacific markets remains well below that of Europe and North America, signifying good potential. Flexible packaging in India has been developing and driven by prevailing low consumption of flexible packaging in India in line with changing consumption patterns for packaged food and other convenience products and trends in retail. With BOPP films constituting a significant input into this space and with development of new applications, the oriented films market in India continues to grow at a rapid pace, significantly higher than the global growth rate. In this backdrop, Indian BOPP industry continues to also grow encouraging sizable investment by existing players and new entrants. With fall in export markets, and creation of substantial capacity for packaging films, domestic markets for these are highly competitive. Volatility in input prices, anti-dumping duty and seasonal swings compound matters. Their focus however remains dedicated within their core strengths to special products and niche markets, largely thin films for specialized electrical applications, which together with consistent high quality and service standards enabled us to maintain near full capacity utilization with their products continuing to be well received at home and abroad. Their strategic intent for BOPP films remains directed towards thin and dielectric films and the Company has commenced work on capacity expansion. Their plants continued to operate profitably and total production during the year was 2,862 MT (not directly comparable with 3,889 MT (against 3,573 MT last year) following subdued demand and higher stock level at customer end. Steep increases in power tariff with retrospective effect in Bengal were a cause for concern.

 

Coex Division

 

Coex Division manufactures coextruded sheets, thermoformed refrigerator liners and coextruded cast films. Their products are usually custom-made to customer needs and based on various polymers including Polystyrene, PP and PE. Applications for their product range are wide, including sheets for refrigerator liners, disposable containers, automotive parts, etc. Cast films are high clarity films including stretch wrap and cling, specially formulated films for medical disposables, hygiene films, and others for packaging. The consumer durables segment experienced the worst year in recent times and the refrigerator sector, the division’s major market segment, was no exception. This set-back is seen as temporary and a return to normalcy is expected. They continue to be the leading supplier of sheets to the white goods industry through consistent focus on product quality, development and superior service, which have also been recognized by major customers. In the cast films segment, their focus has been on special films and continuous innovation. Reflecting market circumstances and their own standing, the total production of sheets, including as liners, (adjusted for inter-unit transfers) and cast films at this division at 16,628 MT during the year was marginally lower (~6%) than during the previous year (16,880 MT). In keeping with strategic direction to arrest the decline of viability at Faridabad, focus at this location was on production of only cast films pending other steps to evolve new solutions. During the year, the Company enhanced capacity at Ranjangaon through addition of a fully automated thermoforming line to meet specific additional requirements from its customers. Further addition to sheet extrusion capacity to keep pace with planned growth in refrigerator sector is on the anvil.
