CORPORATE INFORMATION

Subject is a public limited company domiciled in India and incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. Its shares are listed on the Bombay, Ahmedabad and National stock exchanges. The Company belongs to the reputed Arvind Mafatlal Group in India. Established in 1967, it has the largest integrated fluorochemicals complex in India. The Company primarily focuses on fluorine chemistry, producing refrigeration gases, some basic building block fluorides and specialty organofluorines. Its manufacturing facilities are located at Surat, Gujarat and Dewas, Madhya Pradesh.

AMALGAMATION

With effect from 1 April, 2012 Mafatlal Denim Limited (MDL) has been amalgamated with MIL under the composite scheme of arrangement and amalgamation of MDL and Mishapar Investments Limited with MIL. Consents of the Honorable High Courts of Bombay and Gujarat for the scheme were received and filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) during the year. On the amalgamation becoming effective during the year, NFIL received shares of MIL in lieu of the MDL shares of the same value.

YEAR IN RETROSPECT

Profit after tax (PAT) increased by 17% from Rs.431.600 Millions to Rs.506.600 Millions despite an erosion of income from sale of carbon credits by Rs.571.100 Millions compared to the previous year and the Profit before tax (PBT) declined by 6% from Rs.685.800 Millions to Rs.641.200 Millions. This has been the first full year of operations of the Company without any income from sale of carbon credits since 2007-08. Turnover declined by 14% from Rs.5246.900 Millions to Rs.4491.400 Millions during the year. Overall revenues from operations however, declined by a marginal 4%. Performances of the individual verticals have been a mixed experience. Revenues from inorganic fluorides and Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) grew by 14% and 82% respectively, but they have been off-set by 12% decline in both the refrigerant gases and specialty verticals over the previous year.

This is the second consecutive year of the Indian rupee sharply weakening against the US Dollar. Last year, from a level of 49 the Indian rupee moved down to 54/55 and in 2013-14 it went all the way down to 68 in August’ 13 before settling at 60 at the end of March 2014. While the depreciating rupee continued to put inflationary pressures on the domestic market, the other indices of the Indian economy like, GDP growth, industrial production, consumer demand, housing sector growth, etc. also remained depressed. The only silver lining was the boost in the export earnings on account of a weak Indian Rupee.

Given the challenges of the business environment, during the current fiscal, the Company embarked on an aggressive plan to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of its various business verticals and improve the operating efficiencies across its manufacturing and materials management functions. Many work-practices and standard operating procedures were reviewed and modified to bring in overall permanent cost efficiencies in input- output norms, energy usages, import-export points, parcel sizes, etc. The combination of all these efforts helped the Company maintain a healthy PBT and improve its PAT during the current fiscal. Going forward, these initiatives will also strengthen the competitiveness of the products in the international markets.

The CRAMS business has grown in line with its business plan to a respectable level of Rs.255.900 Millions for the current year. The offerings by the Company in the dedicated fluorine space have been well accepted by the international community of pharma researchers and formulators. In 2013-14 more than 40 molecules have been developed, worked on and delivered to more than 15 global pharma and agro majors. Encouraged by the excellent response from a large community of diverse global players the Company decided to embark on an ambitious expansion of its contract manufacturing by investing Rs.650.000 Millions at its Dewas site to enable it to deliver ton level quantities in larger batch sizes. The new capacity is expected to come on stream in the first quarter of the next fiscal. Alongside augmenting its delivery capabilities, the Business Unit (BU) is also enhancing its marketing reach in the US West coast and Japan by having a direct representation in those geographies in addition to Europe, where Manchester Organics Limited (MOL), the UK based subsidiary of the Company has a strong presence. The NFIL-MOL combine has also worked well together to garner a higher share in the contract research and manufacturing space of fluorinated molecules.

The inorganic fluorides have grown by 14% during the year despite a very challenging domestic market by achieving higher volumes of potassium and sodium fluorides and price increases across its product range. It has also initiated exports in a good way which has a potential to grow in the coming years thereby improving capacity utilization in the BU and insulating the overall revenues of the Company from market and product related uncertainties. The BU has been ably supported by in-house R and D initiatives.

The Refrigerant Gases business remained under severe price pressures during the year. Disconnect between the input costs and product prices continued through the year due to a global demand - capacity imbalance. There has been a 12% decline in the revenues from this BU on the back of weak pricing despite sustained volumes.

The specialty BU also suffered a 12% decline due to weak demand of some of its strong products. However, it could access price escalations from exports due to a weak rupee. It could also achieve modest price increases in the domestic market due to its unique market position in some of the critical high value products.

The Company has a high exposure to fuel price movement as all its BUs, except CRAMS have high materials handling. But, despite a 15% rise in the price of diesel during the year the logistics costs could be managed within limits as Hazira port became operational for containerized cargos during the year. The Company will continue to enjoy this permanent advantage due to the proximity of Bhestan plant, which, by far is the largest operations of the Company, to Hazira.

Through the year the technology teams worked relentlessly to improve productivity, quality and costs of the flag-ship products to offer a competitive marketing edge to the Bus on one hand and flexibility of sourcing to the supply chain on the other.

During the year substantial quantities of non-Chinese fluorspar (the most important raw material) have been used while maintaining and improving product quality. This helped the supply chain to cap the cost of fluorspar, which is completely imported, despite a sharp depreciation in rupee. Sulphur another key raw material, which is linked to its international price experienced more than 20% inflation during the year. Here again, the manufacturing group made modifications in the plant to enable usage of cheaper molten sulphur. The operations group also successfully managed energy consumption to keep the overall energy costs at acceptable levels despite a 25% increase in natural gas price on the back of a weak rupee.

During the year a conservative stocking strategy for raw materials was followed to remain closer to the market price of all the raw materials and access the resultant movement in the finished product prices. This helped in successful inventory management and maintain a low average working capital through the year.

The company maintained a good financial health with a sizeable treasury income. The basEl II rating of the Company is maintained at ‘CARE AA-’ (indicating high degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations and very low credit risk) for borrowings with a tenure of more than one year and fund-based facilities. The rating for short-term facilities (less than one year) has been maintained at‘ CARE A+’(indicating very strong degree of safety regarding timely servicing of financial obligations and lowest credit risk) for its non-fund based facilities. The Company is fully committed to its responsibilities in health, safety and environmental (HSE) management and has continued to make sizable investments in HSE during the year.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The economic slowdown is expected to have bottomed out last year. A spell of global financial turbulence caused capital outflows and pressure on the exchange rate, but strong policy measures stabilized the currency, rebuilt reserves, and narrowed the excessive current account deficit. Weaknesses remain, however, and include persistent inflation, fiscal imbalances, bottlenecks to investment, and inefficiencies that require structural reforms. Without a systemic resolution, growth is forecast to pick up modestly.

However, they are optimistic about their prospects as the Indian economy works towards its recovery and with their wide ranging capabilities; they expect to deliver a strong performance going forward.

India is likely to grow by 5.6 per cent in 2014-15 against a projected growth of less than 5 per cent in the current fiscal. The global economy in 2014 appears to be in a better shape than what it was in 2012 and 2013. The economic growth in F.Y. 2015 is likely to be contributed majorly by the industrial sector, which is estimated to grow by 4.1 per cent.

GLOBAL FLUOROCHEMICALS INDUSTRY OUTLOOK

The global scenario for chemicals during the year was mixed, as the US and EU faced sluggish local economies due to high unemployment levels, sovereign debt crisis and declining output levels. In recent years, the global chemical industries have moved eastward towards Asia and the Middle East with major hubs being set up in these regions. India faces major competition from hubs in China, Singapore and the Middle East for which it needs to maintain competitiveness and cost.

The global fluorochemicals market is expected to reach USD 24.99 billion by 2020. Positive demand outlook from key application markets such as refrigeration, HVAC, pharmaceuticals, aluminium, steel and electronic consumables is expected to drive fluorochemicals sales over the next six years. The gradual recovery of automotive industry, especially in Asia and increasing application scope for fluoropolymers in chemical processing, construction, electronics, automotive, cookware and medical is also expected to drive fluorochemicals demand over the forecast period.

Fluorocarbons dominated the global market, accounting for over 52% of global fluorochemicals volumes in 2013. Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), accounting for over 60% of the total fluorocarbon market, is currently being phased out by Hydro FluoroCarbon (HFC) and other products, owing to regulatory pressure. As a result, HCFC demand will decline going forward. Demand for HFCs grew considerably from 2001 to 2011, and they will continue their strong advances as replacements for HCFCs in the developing world. However, concerns over the global warming potential (GWP) of HFCs will begin to limit demand, particularly in Western Europe, presenting opportunities for low-GWP HFO fluorocarbons to penetrate the market.

Being the largest global market for automotive, pharmaceuticals, electronic consumables and chemical processing, Asia Pacific dominated fluorochemicals demand in 2013, accounting for over 46% of global volumes. Asia Pacific fluorochemicals market revenue is expected to reach USD 11.68 billion by 2020. North America and Europe, relatively mature markets, are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.8% and 3% from 2014 to 2020, respectively.

SEGMENT ANALYSIS

REFRIGERANTS

The Company has a near forty year history of manufacturing and selling HCFC 22 in India, Middle-East and South Asia. Its Mafron brand is a generic name for refrigerant gases in the country and a preferred choice for original equipment manufacturers, service technicians and equipment owners. It has a distribution network of 120 strong distributors in India and overseas. The Company’s refrigerant products are exported to South Asia, South-East Asia, the Middle-East and Turkey.

In 2013-14, the Company derived 32% percent of its refrigerant revenues from international markets (same as the previous year) while the rest was marketed within India. The Refrigerant Gases business remained under severe price pressures during the year. Disconnect between the input costs and product prices continued through the year due to a global demand-capacity imbalance. There has been a 12% decline in the revenues from this BU on the back of weak pricing despite sustained volumes. The division also engaged in HFC134a trading, mainly importing in bulk, repackaging and selling in the domestic market.

As informed earlier the division’s CER income ceased with effect from 31 December, 2012.

SPECIALTY CHEMICALS

The Company’s specialty segment manufactures fluorine based molecules with niche applications in the specialized petrochemicals, pharmaceutical and agrochemical segments.

The division has a rich fluorine chemistry competence backed by a robust research set-up. 36% of its revenue is derived from international business.

The specialties business withered weak demand of some of its high-selling products through the year. However, the business could access price escalations from exports due to a weak rupee scenario. It could also achieve modest price increases in the domestic market due to its unique value proposition. During the year the division introduced 2 (previous year 6) new fluorinated compounds with growing applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. The Company expects to work closely with customers and introduce new products to widen its customer base.

INORGANIC FLUORIDES

This segment caters mainly to the steel sector and also has dominant applications in the glass, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.

The inorganic fluorides BU grew by 14% during the year despite very challenging domestic market situations, by growing volumes of new organic fluorides and modest price increases across its product range. It has also initiated its exports business which has a potential to grow in the coming years thereby improving capacity utilization in the BU and insulating the overall revenues of the Company from market and product related uncertainties.

The division also introduced a compound for the glass industry in the current year, providing cost competitiveness. The product has a high potential to grow both in the domestic and international markets in the coming years.

CONTRACT RESEARCH AND MANUFACTURING SERVICES (CRAMS) AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Contract research and manufacturing services is a new vertical the company ventured into two years back. During the year, the division posted a handsome turnover of Rs.260.000 Millions which is expected to strongly grow in FY 15 and the future years. This is a research and knowledge based initiative to cater to the rapid product development need of the major global pharma and agro companies in Europe, United States and Japan. In addition to bringing in the advantages of cost and time, Navin Fluorine brings to its customers a vast experience of synthesising fluorinated compounds.

Encouraged by the excellent responses from a large community of diverse global players the Company decided to embark on an expansion of its contract manufacturing facility by investing Rs.650.000 Millions at its Dewas site to enable it to deliver ton level quantities in larger batch sizes. The new capacity is expected to come on stream in the first quarter of the next fiscal. Alongside augmenting its delivery capabilities, the BU is also enhancing its marketing reach in the US West coast and Japan by having a direct representation in those geographies in addition to US East coast and Europe, where Manchester Organics Limited (MOL), the UK based subsidiary of the Company has a strong presence. The NFIL-MOL combine has also worked well together to garner a higher share in the contract research and manufacturing space of fluorinated molecules.
