CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Sintex Industries Limited, the flagship company of Sintex group is a public company domiciled in India and incorporated in 1931 under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. It is headquartered in Kalol in Gujarat. Its shares are listed on NSE, BSE and ASE in India. The Company is one of the leading providers of plastics and niche structured yarn dyed textiles related products in India. Initially the Company started its operations in textile and diversified in plastic business in mid 70s. The plastic division manufactures products which includes prefabricated structures, monolithic constructions, FRP products and water storage tanks.

 

 

SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

 

A Scheme of Arrangement (the "Scheme") between the Company and its equity Shareholders was approved by the Board of Directors vide its resolution dated 30th June, 2008, by the Shareholders in their Court convened meeting held on 15th September, 2008 and by the Honourable High Court of Gujarat vide its order dated 25th March, 2009. The Appointed Date of the Scheme was 1st April, 2008. The Company filed the Order with the Registrar of Companies, Gujarat on 14th April, 2009 within the time specified in the order and the Scheme had been given effect in the financial statement for the financial year ended on 31st March, 2010. Accordingly, as per the Scheme, from the said date, the Company earmarked Rs.2000.000 Millions from Securities Premium Account to International Business Development Reserve Account (the "IBDR").

 

As per the Scheme, the balance of IBDR so earmarked is available towards such expenses as specified under the Scheme. Accordingly, during the year, the Company has adjusted against the earmarked balance of IBDR an amount of Rs. 51.600 Millions (previous year Rs. 44.200 Millions) being such specified expenses as per the Scheme. The said accounting treatment has been followed as prescribed under the Scheme and it has no impact on the profit for the year, as per the Scheme.

 

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company’s performance was commendable despite the Government’s preoccupation in managing multiple politico-economic issues which put economic progress on the backburner.

 

The Company’s posted a gross turnover of Rs. 30597.700 Millions in 2012-13 – a growth of 16.36% over Rs. 26296.500 Millions in 2011-12. The growth was primarily due to the robust performance of the prefab business supported by growth in the domestic custom moulding.

 

The Company’s flagship business segment – monolithic construction reported a subdued performance. This was primarily due to the management’s timely decision to optimise the Company’s exposure in monolithic construction business due to a stretched receivables cycle from some projects which adversely impacted project profitability and business liquidity.

 

EBIDTA grew to Rs. 6440.700 Millions against Rs. 5786.700 Millions in the previous year, while Net Profit climbed to Rs. 2691.900 Millions against Rs. 2297.000 Millions over the same period. The earning per share stood at Rs. 9.46 (basic) and Rs. 9.44 (diluted) in 2012-13.

 

Cash plough back into the business was Rs. 5259.800 Millions in 2012-13 as against Rs. 4681.800 Millions in 2011-12 – providing an adequate cushion for funding growth initiatives.

 

 

BUSINESS REVIEW AND DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

A. PLASTICS DIVISION

 

The Company’s plastics business performed well. Revenue grew 19.72% from Rs. 21618.300 Millions in 2011-12 to Rs. 25880.600 Millions in 2012-13 despite a strategic decision to curtail the Company’s business exposure in the monolithic construction space. The plastics business contributed 90.93% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.

 

The building products division registered a subdued performance primarily due to the curtailed business exposure to monolithic construction. In this division, the prefab business was the star performer in 2012-13 clocking large business volumes from Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh by sprucing up the educational and sanitation-related infrastructure of the states. The healthy growth largely cushioned the fall in revenue from the monolithic business. This was a result of a strategic management decision to curtail the Company’s business exposure in the monolithic construction space, to sustain business profitability and liquidity despite external adversities beyond the control of the Company.

 

Other businesses namely water storage tanks, sandwich panels and sub-ground structures registered considerable growth.

 

The custom moulding division performed satisfactorily during the year. The SMC business remained the key growth contributor as the Company extended its footprint into new states generating heartening volumes.

 

B. TEXTILES DIVISION:

 

Despite a depressed global textile sector, the Company’s textile business managed to end the year with a turnover of Rs. 4717.100 in 2012-13 against Rs. 4678.200 in 2011-12. This was achieved primarily due to the shift in focus from the international markets to the domestic customers. Besides, the Company undertook a number of initiatives to optimise costs and widen its reach in the domestic markets which contributed to the division’s stable performance.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Global economy: Global gross domestic product (GDP) grew 3.2% in 2012 against 3.9% in 2011 - after having hit another bout of turbulence in what was always expected to be a slow and bumpy recovery. The key impediments were prolonged financial eurozone turmoil, instability in the US economy due to the fiscal cliff, disruption of global oil supplies and slow investments in emerging markets. Economic conditions improved in the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to acceleration in emerging market economies and in the US, where surprising growth was registered.

 

Estimates for 2013: On the brighter side of things, global growth is projected to increase during 2013 as factors decelerating global commerce are expected to wane. However, this upturn is projected to be more deliberate and time-consuming. Overall it can be said that the development rate of the world economy can be pegged at 3.5% in 2013

 

Four years after the onset of the global financial crisis, the worst appears to be over. However, the global economy remains convalescent, as high-income countries continue to suffer from the aftermath of the continuing volatility and subdued growth. The World Bank expects the world economy to grow by 2.4% in 2013.

 

The US: The U.S. economy shrank for the first time in more than three years (in the fourth quarter), underscoring the halting nature of the recovery. Gross domestic product — the broadest measure of goods and services churned out by the economy — fell at a 0.1% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to the Government’s initial estimate. Despite the year-end stumble, the U.S. still grew more in 2012 than it did a year earlier - economic growth increased to 2.2% from 1.8%. Looking ahead, economists are predicting that the U.S. economy will bounce back in the first quarter of 2013 and report a 2% to 2.5% growth in 2013.

 

Europe: The debt crisis and government efforts to curb spending have further weakened many economies. The crisis first afflicted some of the smaller economies, but is now threatening larger nations. This has impacted the growth of the entire region. In 2012, GDP fell by 0.5% in the euro area and by 0.3% in the EU27.

 

Going ahead, in the euro area, real GDP is projected to contract by about 0.25 % this year before growing again in 2014. Credit channels are broken: better financial conditions are not yet passing through to companies and households because banks are still crippled by poor profitability and low capital. Other brakes on growth in the euro area include continued fiscal adjustment, problems regarding competitiveness, and balance sheet weaknesses.

 

India: Industrial production slowed sharply for the second year running, declining to 5% in 2012-13 following 6.2% in 2011-12. This was the slowest economic progress in a decade, primarily due to sharper than expected deceleration in the services sector, a dismal performance by the agricultural and industrial sectors and unemployment remaining appreciably above pre-crisis levels. The industrial sentiment remained dampened due to the following factors: high inflation eroded margins; high interest rate hikes throttled investments and currency fluctuations adversely impacted profitability.

 

Going ahead, India is expected to return to growth: 6.1-6.7% (Economic Survey) and 6.7% (CRISIL) in 2013-14 based around a revival in private consumption catalysed by a faster growth in the agricultural sector (assuming a normal monsoon), lower interest rates and higher government spending.

 

 

THE PLASTICS SECTOR

 

The plastics sector is one of the fastest growing spaces in India. The Indian plastics processing industry is highly fragmented, comprising of more than 25,000 firms -- the top 100 players, represent only about 0.3% of the total number of plastics processors and account for about 20% of the industry size. The industry also consumes recycled plastic, which constitutes about 30% of total consumption.

 

 

PLASTIC PROCESSING

 

The plastics industry can be classified into (a) manufacturing of polymers, or ‘upstream’ processes, and (b) the conversion of polymers into plastic articles, which is commonly referred to as ‘downstream’ processes. The processes for conversion of polymers determine the final products.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to the All India Plastics Manufacturers’ Association (AIPMA), domestic consumption has been growing at 10-12% CAGR over the last decade. Going ahead, the size of the plastic processing industry – which currently stands at Rs. 850 billion (9 million tonnes), is expected to touch Rs. 1.3 trillion (18.9 million tonnes) by 2015. The exponential growth will see this number go up to 40,000 units; employment will increase to 7 million by 2015 from the current 3.5 million-plus people (direct and indirect). To achieve this target, India will require 42,000 new machines and an investment estimated at US$10billion by 2015.

 

 

THE COMPANY

 

From humble beginnings as a fabric manufacturer, Sintex is today one of the most respected plastic processing company in India. Having, transformed water storage in India with its black water tanks, Sintex has come a long way developing pioneering for number of applications. Today, Sintex, a business ‘Superbrand’ is a plastic processing MNC with operations in 13 manufacturing locations and 12 nations across four continents.

 

The Company has divided its business into two segments namely plastics and textiles – the plastics business contributes more than 90% of the Company’s topline.

 

A) PLASTICS BUSINESS

 

Sintex offers a one of the widest wide plastic-based solution in global plastic processing space – from creating housing units to small components that find application in the medical equipment and electrical businesses. It is the only Indian plastic processing company with a pan-India manufacturing presence and manufacturing operations in 12 nations to cater to the global demand.

 

The Company’s plastics business performed well. Revenue grew 16.30% from Rs. 40663.600 Millions in 2011-12 to Rs. 47294.300 Millions in 2012-13 despite a strategic decision to curtail the Company’s business exposure in the monolithic construction space, its key vertical in the plastics business in keeping with the external adversities beyond the control of the Company.

 

This growth was largely attributed to the healthy performance in the prefab segment which significantly cushioned the slide. Other business verticals within the plastics segment also registered a healthy growth. Despite of Input cost prices and inflation EBIDTA increased to Rs. 7298.900 in 2012-13 against Rs. 6606.500 Millions in 2011-12. The plastics business contributed 90.93% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.

 

The Company has further divided the plastic business into two major verticals namely building products and custom moulding based on the business characteristics and customer profile. This has facilitated focused efforts in developing each segment individually.

 

I) BUILDING PRODUCTS

 

As the name suggests, this business vertical provides products that finds application in residential, commercial and industrial structures, and comprised a number of sub-verticals:

 

·         Monolithic concrete construction (MCC)

Prefabricated structures

Water storage tanks

Interiors

Sub-ground structures and waste management solutions

 

A) MONOLITHIC CONCRETE CONSTRUCTIONS

 

This business, a key revenue contributor and growth engine for the building products vertical and the entire Company, witnessed a very challenging year. This was largely due to the following reasons:

 

·         Government’s persistent fire-fighting on multiple fronts impeded decision-making and staggered payments

High interest costs due to an expanded working capital cycle which impacted business margins

 

To maintain business profitability, the Company took a strategic decision to focus on executing projects which provided cash-flow visibility. Additionally, the Company has strategised to restrict its geographic spread to ensure fast project execution of its order book.

 

During the year, the Company completed a major part of the development of the single-largest township in Delhi comprising 600 buildings. It also exited seven slow-moving sites through work completion and negotiated with its clients for faster fund disbursement.

 

The Company continued to maintain an order book comprising 24 months of business. A sizeable proportion of these orders comprised tall structures (above G+5 structures) and MIG projects.

 

B) PREFABRICATED STRUCTURES

 

This business was the star performer for the Company in 2012-13 with the business registering a more than 20% growth; it largely covered up for the reduced MCC business.

 

The Company’s key enjoys important competitive advantages which positions it as one of the preferred partners for prefabricated solutions

 

·         A five-plant manufacturing presence (allows faster execution and optimised logistics cost)

A product mix comprising medium and small structures enables it to cater to diverse demands

In-house availability of majority of the inputs namely the sandwich panels, doors and windows improving the speed from order acceptance to final delivery

A wide opportunity canvass comprising product approvals in 17 States

 

The strong performance was due to increased government spending towards healthcare and education.

 

The Company received large business from Maharashtra for setting up kitchens in schools for the State Government sponsored mid-day meal scheme. It executed a sizeable portion of the order which resulted in a robust growth. It also received sizeable business from the Madhya Pradesh Government to set up dispensaries, primary and community healthcare centres across the entire state to improve the health infrastructure for its people.

 

The Company’s endeavour to popularise prefab solutions through its unique ‘do-it-theself’ kits being marketed through its channel partners also resulted in sizeable business.

 

The prefab order book (as on March 31, 2013) provides business visibility for about 18-24 months.

 

Sandwich panels: Sintex positioned its sandwich panels, colour-coated steel sheets with packing material in between, as the preferred solution for cold chain infrastructure and the ideal building material for external and internal walls and partitions and roofs due to its superior insulation properties. This business performed excellently due to the increased offtake for industrial applications namely manufacturing plant and cold storages by corporates and Government agencies. The Company also launched ‘Comfia’ a branded roofing solution through select channel partners to increase its B-C business; this would also enhance its brand visibility. The Company possesses sizeable orders for sandwich panels for industrial, roofing and warehousing applications which will be executed in the next 6-12 months.

 

C) WATER STORAGE TANKS

 

Water storage tanks revolutionised Sintex from a corporate brand in Kalol to a house-hold name known across India. Despite significant competition from national, regional and local players the Company maintains its dominance in this space with a more than a 60% share and continues to enjoy a significant premium in this business.

 

The huge product range comprises every conceivable application – loft tanks in individual apartments to water storage solutions for an entire pin code – positioning it as the preferred name in this business.

 

This business recorded healthy growth largely driven by an increasing acceptability of its new triple-wall white storage tanks, a premium-end product. The Company’s Reno brand, targeted to the rural masses, also recorded sizeable growth. The Company also secured large orders for large volume water storage tanks from the Uttar Pradesh Government which was partly executed in 2012-13. Sintex also received orders for extra-large (5 lac litres) panel tanks from states across Western and Eastern India.

 

The Company took a strategic decision to convert the manufacturing process of its Reno tanks to the Blow Moulding technology moving away from the Roto Moulding process. This would improve productivity and optimise operational costs.

 

D) INTERIORS

 

The Company marketed these environment-friendly solutions to replace traditional timber, aluminium and steel with numerous advantages -- low-cost maintenance, rust, water and termite-proof, light-weight and easy-to-install. In 2012-13, the Company launched Indiana Doors, a completely new range of doors with sophisticated designs and looks which comprised kitchen and internal doors for houses. The team successfully marketed about 2,000 doors in the first year of launch and is creating avenues to multiply this number in 2013-14.

 

E) SUB-GROUND STRUCTURES

 

Sub-ground structures represented a new focus area for the Company. This business comprised pollution management solutions namely manhole structures with covers, septic tanks, packaged waste water treatment systems and biogas plants. These products are primarily targeted at municipal corporations of various states and the private sector.

 

Septic tanks: The Company developed underground septic tanks for storage of liquid waste – an extension of its robust water storage tanks business. These tanks can handle liquid waste disposal for population clusters of 50-500 people. Largely a B-G (business to government) business, the Company secured approvals from important municipal corporations of metro cities for its products. In addition, it leveraged the space-saving USP of the product to successfully market them to the organised builder community.

 

Packaged waste water treatment solution: Sintex developed the decentralised packaged waste water treatment solution in collaboration with Aqua Nishihara (Japan), global leaders in waste water management and treatment. This unique solution reduces the BOD levels by 75-95% depending on the product. The solution provides three variants (depending on the waste treatment facility) and in two sizes -- the small-sized solution for individual or a cluster of houses and the medium-sized solution for gated communities, small industrial plants and retail infrastructure.

 

This is a significant step in reducing the load on the hugely outdated and inadequate pollution management infrastructure of metros and Tier-I and Tier-II cities.

 

The Company created a special marketing team to strengthen the awareness of this novel solution among builders, architects, consultants and governmental agencies. As a result it has received approval from the governmental agencies for various states and the private sector builder community which yielded heartening results. In 2012-13 the Company successfully completed more than 100 installations. This number is expected to grow significantly over the coming years.

 

Biogas holders: This waste management solution designed for the village community converts excreta from cows into household fuel, electricity, and fertilisers facilitating the maintenance of a healthy environment. The product received approvals from multiple government agencies in states as it addressed an important priority – providing clean energy to villages. During the year, the Company marketed large volumes to Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tripura and Kerala.

 

 

II) CUSTOM MOULDING DIVISION

 

The business segment has two important verticals:

 

1) Products customised to applications

The products customised to application are SMC products, industrial containers, pallets, FRP tanks and insulated boxes.

 

2) Products customised to customer specifications

The products customised to client specifications are largely components for off-the--road vehicles and non-automotive applications. This segment is largely based out of Kalol and leverages the entire production process range of this plant catering to MNCs operating out of India.

 

This product development cycle for the business segment is circuitous (especially for customer-specific products), but provides long-term revenue visibility once they receive the seal of approval.

 

A) SMC PRODUCTS

 

This - are design-based products that address the burning issue of power theft in the last mile energy distribution in the Indian power distribution space. The main products of this business comprise tamper-proof enclosures of different sizes for housing various meters and equipments. The Company has secured product approvals across India under the Electrical Reform Programme initiated by the Central Government.

 

The Company continuous endeavour in showcasing the benefits of its product in controlling power theft among governmental agencies and corporates in the power distribution space yielded satisfying results. It received large orders for various enclosures from Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Considerable business was secured from the private sector players in energy distribution. It also received product approvals from discoms in Maharashtra which should yield significant business in the coming years.

 

B) INDUSTRIAL CONTAINERS

 

As the name suggests, these are large industrial tanks for storage dyes, colours, chemicals and fuel available in multiple sizes to suit diverse industrial uses. Rising industrialisation and increasing thrust towards a safe working environment accelerated the demand for these products.

 

C) PALLETS

 

The Company manufactures lightweight, cost-effective and customised plastic pallets, catering to various industries like pharmaceuticals, automotive, electrical, engineering, textiles, fisheries, and logistics and warehousing, among others. The pharmaceutical sector is the key customer for the Company’s pallets, which comply with the established FDA norms. In 2012-13, pallet sales increased primarily due to an increase in demand from the food and pharmaceutical sectors. The governmental thrust on improved logistics and creating sophisticated warehousing infrastructure is expected to increase volumes for this business over the medium term.

 

D) FRP TANKS

 

The Company launched high-strength, non-corrosive and non-reactant FRP storage tanks especially suited for storing chemical and petroleum products at fuel dispensing stations – as a replacement to RCC and steel tanks which, over time, get corroded resulting in leakages and soil contamination. IOCL, HPCL and BPCL have approved these tanks for use in all its new dispensing stations, pan-India – a sizeable opportunity over the coming years. In 2012-13, the Company successfully installed more than 1,500 FRP tanks at various locations throughout the country.

 

E) INSULATED BOXES

 

The Company manufactures insulated boxes which are primarily exported to Australia. It product range includes large-sized boxes (up to 1000 litres) for the food processing, fisheries, ice-cream, soft drinks and related sectors. Sintex positioned their insulated boxes as part of their cold chain management solution – a sector that is high on the priority list for the government. This allowed it to promote insulated boxes through governmental programmes such as NRHM.

 

Sintex strengthened the visibility of these boxes in Tier-II and Tier-III towns and rural areas facing acute electricity shortage as a preferred solution for storing perishable commodities. The Company also markets its boxes to governmental agencies for their vaccination programmes. For growing its international business, the Company widened its global footprint across two more nations – this also derisked the business from an over dependence on a single geography.

 

F) CUSTOM MOULDING FOR OEMS

 

This business largely facilitates in filling spare capacity and is concentrated at the Company’s mother unit at Kalol. Over the years, the Company successfully developed a number of customised products for large and globally-respected corporates. They include:

 

·         Fuel tanks and mud guards to M and M, AMW, Ashok Leyland and Escorts for off-the-road vehicles

Fuel tanks for generator set manufacturers namely Kirloskar and Cummins

Components for the cooling tower sector

Enclosures to leading corporates in the electrical sector

Starter panel boxes for pumps and motors for the agricultural industry

Packaging crates for the engineering sector

 

In 2012-13, the Company sustained business volumes with its marquee customers; business environment and inflationary pressures halted any new product development during the year.

 

 

THE TEXTILE SECTOR

 

Textile sector and the economy: The Indian textile industry enjoys an overwhelming presence in the economic scheme of things as it contributes 4% to the country’s GDP, approximately 14% to industrial production, and 12% of the country’s total exports and is the second largest employment provider. India’s commercial banks enjoy an exposure of about Rs. 1.60 lakh cr to the country’s textile sector. Performance: The Indian textiles sector rebounded after a catastrophic 2011-12. As per CMIE estimates, industry sales grew about 7.5% backed by higher volumes and improved realisations; total yarn production increased about 6.8% while fabric production grew about 7.1%.

 

On the exports front, demand remained sluggish across the textile value chain in 2012. Order sizes reduced for apparel exporters, resulting in reduced volumes. However, rupee realisations increased partly following rupee depreciation (against the USD and the Euro) leading to moderate revenue growth.

 

The year was marked by margins stability for textile players across the value chain led by steady cotton prices. After trending upwards over June-August 2012, raw cotton prices declined in September 2012 due to higher–than-expected domestic arrivals of cotton.

 

The textile sector (including dyed and printed) attracted foreign direct investments worth Rs. 56564.200 Millions (US$ 1.04 billion) during April 2000 to November 2012.

 

 

INDIAN COTTON INDUSTRY

 

OVERVIEW

 

·         Cotton is the principal livelihood for an estimated 60 million Indians (including six million farmers).

Cotton provides 65% of fibre used in India’s textile industry.

Cotton provides a million tonne of cooking oil.

Cotton supplies a million tonne of animal feed.

Cotton contributes 40 million tonnes of biomass (in the form of cotton plant stalk).

India accounts for a third of the global cotton acreage but a fifth of the global cotton production

 

In 2002, India had 7.7 million hectares of land under cotton cultivation. A decade later in 2011-12, the area under Bt cotton cultivation in the country stood at 12.1 million hectares, which is about 90% of the total land under cotton cultivation in the country. The cotton yield per hectare has increased by 60 percent since 2002.

 

 

TEXTILE BUSINESS

 

Sintex carved a niche in the value-added textile segment through the manufacture of high-end yarn-dyed structured fabrics for men’s shirting, yarn-dyed corduroy, ultima cotton yarn-based corduroy and fabrics for women. This business is a value-driven, margin accretive business which contributes only about 10% to the Company’s topline - its contribution to the Company’s profitability is actually more pronounced.

 

The textile business is largely export-oriented with majority of the output being exported (directly or indirectly) to global fashion labels. Its other customers are reputed male and female apparel brands in India.

 

A dull global market due to the persisting economic slowdown in Europe adversely impacted product exports. This was more than made up by increasing volumes in the domestic market and a significant increase in the ready-to-stitch fabrics. As a result, the Company has managed to maintain turnover of Rs. 4717.000 Millions as against Rs.4678.200 Millions in 2011-12.
