Comments :

Subject is an affiliate of Switzerland based Clariant A4, one of the leading players in the field of fine and specialty chemicals. It is an established company having excellent track records.

 

Management has failed to file the latest financials of 2013, which the government department.

 

As per available financials of 2012, the company possesses a robust financial profile marked by a highly favorable capital structure and ample liquidity marked by no external borrowings reported during the year under review.

 

Furthermore, the management has seen some dip in its net profitability due to volatility in the raw material prices, currency movements and demand slowdown in the end user industry.

 

The ratings also take into consideration, the diversified product portfolio and established marketing network of the company.

 

Trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payment terms are reported as regular and as per commitments.

 

In view of strong parentage of the “Clariant Group”, the subject can be considered excellent for business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

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.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

The business sentiments, confronted with the challenges of market conditions and slowdown in global demand, remained extremely challenging and the recessionary economic conditions led initial slowdown in sales growth. Thanks to the sustained efforts of the marketing team, improved marketing performance of the second half resulted into record sales and growth. The performance in terms of net working capital was affected by built-up of inventory and the profitability is significantly impacted by inflation led cost push in most of the operating areas. Directors are pleased to inform that in spite of challenging conditions, the Company has registered best ever performance in terms of sales growth over previous year.

 

The Company registered sales of Rs.10712.300 million as compared to Rs. 9560.800 million registering a record growth of 12.0 percent sales. Out of the total sales revenue of the Company for the year, 25.3 percent is contributed by exports. The increased cost of raw materials and inflationary rise in other expenses resulted into lowering of PBDIT margin before exceptional items from 17.7 percent to 14.6 percent. Net profit after accounting for exceptional items and tax is lower over the previous year. The Company remains focused to improve its core business and look for higher market share in the business segments in which it operates.

 

In view of prolonged litigation, the Company could not implement its project for manufacturing of Masterbatches at Ambernath, the site acquired by the Company in 2008 from MIDC.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

In spite of extremely challenging business environment, slowdown in global economic growth and the recessionary economic conditions, the Company for the year 2012 registered a record growth of 12.0% in sales over previous year.

 

Of the total sales revenue of the Company for the year, 25.3% is contributed by exports. In view of rising cost of raw materials and inflation led upsurge in other operating costs, profit before depreciation, interest, exceptional items and tax (PBDIT) is lower as compared to the previous year. After considering the exceptional income including those arising from sale of premises in the current year and sale of land and infrastructure at Balkum, Thane in the previous year, the profit after tax (PAT) is lower from Rs. 3040.400 million to s. 1013.000 million. The following ratios reflect the financial performance for the year in relation to the previous year.

 

The Company remains a zero debt company with no long-term borrowings. The rating for the Company is rea3rmed ‘CARE AAA’ for long term bank facilities and ‘CARE A1+’ for short term bank facilities and this endorses the confidence on the financial standing of the Company. Short-term bank borrowings are restricted to the need based working capital requirements. The business environment has impacted the net working capital of the Company as compared to previous year. Inspite of challenging environment, the year-end ratio of inventory to sales of 15.2%, receivables to sales of 13.8% and net working capital to sales of 11.8% is one of the best in the specialty chemical industry. Net cash flow from operating activities during the year was Rs. 765.768 million Funds surplus to the operational needs have been prudently invested to earn reasonable returns with a high degree of safety. A sum of Rs.2269.800 million (previous year Rs. 2655.100 million) stands invested in debt schemes of mutual funds at the end of the year.

 

During the year, all the plants had smooth operations and the capacity utilisation was better than the previous year.

OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

 

The deceleration in growth, high inflation and twin deficits (current account deficit and trade deficit) are major challenges for the Indian economy. The real GDP grew by 5.4% year on year in the first half of the current fiscal year, much lower than the average growth rate of about 8% achieved in last decade. Manufacturing sector has been hit by weak domestic demand, consumption as well as investment, and sluggish exports owing to the fragile global economic scenario. The advanced estimates for GDP peg manufacturing growth at 1.9 per cent in 2012-13, the slowest in the past 14 years. The ability of Indian economy to return to its pre-crisis growth era in the absence of fully conducive global environment has been severely tested over last couple of years. Sub 5% GDP growth rate could be a cause of concern for an economy widely tipped to become the next global growth engine after China.

 

 

The domestic chemical sector in general and the specialty chemical sector in particular are witnessing the double impact of sluggish domestic demand and increased competition from global and domestic players. The Indian chemical industry was witnessing deceleration in the past few years. The production index for chemicals and products recorded a growth rate of 3.46% during April-December, 2012 compared to 0.17% fall recorded during the same period a year ago.

 

Despite the current economic conditions and challenges, since GDP is expected to rise from the current level, the growth potential for Indian economy over the next few years is likely to be better. India’s urban population is expected to grow substantially and increase in income levels; increasing awareness on quality, fashion and trend, adoption of new product specifications and environmental standards is expected to result in increased need for better products and services resulting into consumption-led double-digit growth in key end markets over the next decade. Chemicals constitute more than 13% of India’s total exports and India has strong presence in the export market in the dyes, Pharma and agro chemical segments.

 

 

Currently specialty chemicals account for lesser share in Indian chemicals industry as compared to global scenario. The per capita consumption of such chemicals is also very low as compared to global levels. For example the per capita consumption of colorants in India is only 50 gm. vis-a-vis the world average of 250 gm. The industry shows comparative promise when compared to the advanced countries and has the potential to emerge as a major manufacturing hub for the global market. The specialty chemical segment which caters to several key applications will be increasingly important for India and with expanding economic growth and per capita income; it is poised to grow more than the economic growth. As the economy develops, India will need to regulate products more stringently, and strengthen consumption standards, which in turn will promote increased usage of specialty chemicals. Consumption standards are policies implemented by the government to promote the safe use of products. These standards are necessary for both improving society’s standard of living and enhancing consumer safety. Most developed countries (e.g. the US, Germany) have implemented stringent consumption standards across various end-use markets. India still uses enamel paints with high VOC content. Mandating the usage of water based paints will help ensure health and safety of consumers, and encourage the consumption of higher cost, water based paints. This will result in consumption-led double-digit growth in key end markets over the next decade and an increased need for better products and services. Based on the assessment of future demand of specialty chemicals, this segment is expected to reach value of $38 billion by the end of 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017). Driven by potential growth in end-use industries, availability of large pool of technical man-power, scientists and researchers, the segment is poised for substantial growth and offers immense potential for investment as well as employment generation. The REACH and other European legislation o.er unique opportunities to the industry players to register themselves, innovate and move up the value chain and compete effectively with global players both in the domestic and export markets and bring the Indian specialty chemical industry on the global map while meeting the needs of enhanced quality of life for growing affluent population of India.

 

Dyes and Pigment is the major sub-segment of the Indian colorants industry. Global demand for dyes and pigments is expected to increase from $14.40 billion in 2010 to $16.2 billion by 2014. This is likely to have a direct impact on the Indian dyes and pigments industry as majority of the dyes and pigments produced in the domestic market are exported. Majority of global dyes and pigment manufacturers are shifting their operations to India and China, as REACH regulation is increasing their cost of production in majority of the European countries. Decreasing profitability of the manufacturers is a major concern of the colorants industry in India.

 

India is one of the major participants in the global paints and coatings industry. The market size for this sector is about $3.40 billion. The Indian paints industry is consolidated where the organised sector accounts for about 80 percent of the market share. The industry is classified into decorative paints and industrial paints, which accounted for 70 percent and 30 percent of the total paints industry revenues, respectively in 2010. The average annual growth rate of the paints industry was 13.5 percent between 2005 and 2010 and is expected to improve in coming years.

 

Per capita consumption of paints in India is about 1.3 kg compared to 38 kg in Singapore and 26 kg in the United States. The demand for paints is strongly backed by growth of the automotive industry which is expected to have an average annual growth rate of 15 percent between 2010 and 2014. The residential, commercial real estate market is expected to grow rapidly, as 100 percent FDI is allowed in this industry. Further, there is increasing demand for water-based paints and companies are introducing lead-free and low-volatile organic compound products, which are environment friendly. Heavy metal pigments are getting replaced with organic pigments in premium paints. Industry outlook for paint, plastics, inks and special applications remains good. The challenges in this segment are from rising costs of utilities whereas customers are increasingly becoming sensitive to price rise. Clariant has positioned itself as preferred supplier of pigments, pigment preparations, additives and intermediates to major paint, coatings and ink manufacturing companies in the country and is well equipped to meet the requirements.

 

The per capita use of plastics in India may still be quite low compared to the developed countries; the Indian plastic industry is one of the largest in the world and promises a steady double digit growth for next few years. The overall plastic consumption in India per person has gone up to 8 kg as compared to 40 kg in developed countries. Demand from automobile sector and white goods industry is huge despite the economic slowdown and the use of plastic components in auto industry, agriculture and many other industries is expected to increase significantly. In view of strong potential for growth of the industry, the specialty polymer chemicals segment is expected to grow from current market share of $ 2.3 billion to $ 5.3 billion by 2017. With focus on global standards, Clariant addresses Indian plastics sector’s push to create innovative, safer, and environmental compatible products. It’s specialty chemicals and master batches provides broad portfolio of high-quality, cost-effective pigments, and performance additives and its innovative products provide cost-e3cient processing, advanced functionality and aesthetic possibilities to meet the challenges of a wide range of segments including food and cosmetics packaging, electronic and electrical (E&E), infrastructure, agriculture, medical and pharmaceutical.

 

The dyes segment is highly fragmented in India due to excise concession provided for the market participants. This segment has an inherent element of value addition to a wide variety of products like textiles, leather, paper etc. The Indian textile industry which accounts for about 4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), accounted for 14 percent in Index of Industrial Production in 2010 and acts as one of the main drivers of the economy. The industry consumes about 80 percent of the total dyes consumed in India. The growth of the dyes sector thus depends considerably on the performance of this industry. Clariant is a major player in the filed of dyes and chemicals and plays a key role in providing innovative and sustainable solutions throughout the entire supply chain and all segments from fiber to finishing of textiles and retanning to finishing of leather. Clariant provides knowledge and expertise in the management of whiteness, coloration, special coatings and strength and o.er products to improve optical and functional properties of all kinds of paper and board.

 

The industrial, home and personal care market in India is expected to grow at a rapid pace surpassing the growth of other segments in this sector although competitive pressure has intensified. With growing affluence, Indian consumers are able to spend more on hygiene and personal care products. Increasing consumption is driving demand for wide range of cosmetic chemicals, health care products as well as hygiene products using specialty chemicals, polymers and oleo chemicals. This goes along with an increased customer demand for chemical ingredients that provide enhanced functionality and multiple benefits at lower prices. To meet the demands, the Company has established new state of the art consumer care and crop protection laboratories and enhanced its biocide laboratory to tailor its products specifically for the local market requirements.

 

The major challenge that the Indian chemical industry continue to face is the perception that it affects the environment negatively. Though there are other industries, which are equally or more polluting, colorant industry is considered to be the most polluting due to visibility of color. The industry is viewed with misapprehensions on the pollution and sustainability fronts and thus safety, health and environment protection issues have become the major talking point in the Indian chemical industry. The existing effluent discharge norms need to be re-evaluated. Inspite of Indian chemical sector taking a significant lead over other sectors, in R&D spending and utilisation, it lags behind other emerging economies. While chemical industry addresses growing need for materials required by different sectors, the industry employs highly complex manufacturing processes that involve handling of often toxic and hazardous chemicals. The process being energy intensive, the importance of safety, security and environmental protection cannot be underestimated. There is a lack of ideal, dedicated and adequate availability of land at suitable locations. Inadequate availability of water is a limiting factor as water is an important component in the manufacturing of colorants. Availability of power is inadequate and cost is very high. Various government duties and levies add to the cost substantially. Unavailability of good quality roads with excellent connectivity to ports is a severe constraint. Port facilities and long turnaround time affect efficiency and competitiveness of the specialty chemical industry. Spending on research and development (R and D) is the lowest by India’s specialty chemical industry. For a nation aspiring to be a major manufacturing center for specialty chemicals, there is an urgent need to increase R&D activities. Availability of feedstock is very poor and the industry is import dependent for many dyeinter mediates. The export performance of specialty chemicals so far has been good. However, regulations like REACH may impact export performance.

 

The Indian chemical industry can deliver on an accelerated growth phase, provided a clearly defined vision along with a srategic roadmap is developed to enable it. If this is not done, they may see the growing market increasingly being served through manufacturing done outside India. The various segments of the chemical industry (such as organic chemicals, specialty chemicals, chlor-alkali, pesticides, colorants and alcohol based chemicals) have their own unique set of challenges. The industry can grow only if these individual segments overcome their challenges and move swiftly along the growth path.
