OVERVIEW AND OPERATIONS

 

The Company is part of the paper and pulp industry with a strong presence in India. Globally, the industry is undergoing a structural transformation.

 

On the one hand, advanced economies are witnessing pressure on demand due to deep penetration of the digital media which has often made the use of paper redundant. On the other, emerging economies like China and India with higher economic growth, stress on school and college education, large and thriving networks of newspapers and print media coupled with relatively low paper penetration base are witnessing healthy increases in paper demand. While the longer term structural trend stated above is correct, it is also important to note that prevalent macro-economic conditions play a significant role in defining the shorter term status of the pulp and paper industry. On that score, the situation was not particularly positive even for the emerging markets. Global economic growth was stifled in calendar year (CY) 2013. World GDP growth had reduced to 3.1% in CY2012. Unfortunately, it declined further to 3% in CY2013. This time, the major drop in GDP growth was in the emerging markets and developing economies, which witnessed a reduction from 4.9% in CY2012 to 4.7% in CY2013.

 

India, too, went through a difficult time. The country recorded its second consecutive year of below 5% growth: 4.7% for the period April 2013 to March 2014, with manufacturing output declining by 0.7% compared to the same period in the previous year. Not surprisingly, paper demand was adversely affected in India and it occurred at a time when the domestic paper industry had already made large scale investments in enhancing capacities. Thus, the market conditions were highly competitive.

 

The Company, too, completed its present round of large scale investments with the pulping facility coming on stream in Ballarpur in February 2014. This was the last of the major investment programme which was being executed over the last five years. With these investments, the Company is now ready to leverage the benefits of integration right across the pulp and paper value chain by catering to specific segments of the Indian paper market which rank among the fastest growing paper markets in the world.

 

In a sense, FY2014 was a watershed year for the Company. It saw the completion of a long phase of strategic investments, acquisitions and expansion of capacities; and, with it, there is a clear change in emphasis to consolidation, and focus on efficient execution to best deliver enhanced value for the businesses and the stakeholders.

 

Going forward, the Company is actively focusing on the following drivers to take its business to the next level:

 

(i) Consolidating its market leadership in India, which is one of the fastest growing paper markets in the world.

(ii) Continuous new product development to offer a diverse product range with premium positioning in India.

(iii) Vertical integration across the pulp and paper value chain, which will evolve highly competitive cost structures.

(iv) Leveraging and building on its extensive and deep rooted distribution network.

(v) Day to day focus on improving cash flows and optimising the capital structure.

(vi) Building on the rich experience of its management team.

 

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

During the period under review, the Company was successful in growing its revenues and maintaining operating profit margins even under difficult market conditions. Net profits dipped on account of increased interest and depreciation costs. However, the management is confident that with significantly increased scale of operations over the next few years, the effect of interest and depreciation will be less than before.

 

The salient features of the financial performance are:

 

(i) Net sales increased by 11.94% to Rs. 36495.000 million in FY2014.

(ii) Earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes and amortisation (EBIDTA) rose by 14.44% to reach Rs. 6879.500 million in FY2014.

(iii) In FY2014, with cost saving measures, operating margins (EBIDTA/Net Sales) grew by 41 basis points to 18.85%.

(iv) Profit after tax (PAT), however, decreased by 27.11% to Rs. 1133.600 million in FY2014, primarily on account of higher depreciation and finance cost.

 

 

BUSINES PORTFOLIO

 

The Company has undergone restructuring over the last few years The Company now focuses on the wood-free printing and writing paper, coated and uncoated, which is the primary business portfolio. The focus is on the reel or sheet commercial printing business and desktop printing business through copier paper. There is also focus on high value bio-degradable high-end packaging. The Company has four plants in India Ballarpur (Maharashtra), Bhigwan (Maharashtra), Ashti (Maharashtra) and Sewa (Odisha).

 

The business competitive strength emanates from the vertical integration of its operations and strong marketing distribution network. In terms of fibre security, the Company has access to 288,138 hectares of licensed plantations and forests of its fellow subsidiary, Sabah Forest Industries Sdn. Bhd. (SFI). It also has access to procuring from farmers in India through its social farm forestry programme by Bilt Tree Tech Limited, a fellow subsidiary, which has been developed over several years. The Company is now fully self-sufficient in hard-wood pulp production with two of the four units having integrated pulp producing facilities namely Ballarpur and Sewa, while Bhigwan and Ashti obtain pulp produced at SFI and Ballarpur. The production system also includes captive energy and part chemicals (on-site) at certain facilities. This integrated structure right from procuring wood to producing paper provides scope for flexibilities in operating decisions that optimises costs. The business is supported by a unique distribution network. The Company has a multi-tiered distribution network in India, with most of the volume being sold by exclusive distributors.

 

 

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

 

Globally, the paper industry is facing the most difficult challenge of shrinking demand. This has been evident in the recent past and the trend has continued in 2013-14. However, this trend has several regional disparities across the globe. Broadly, the advanced countries have greater digitization and are witnessing shrinking demand while emerging economies mainly in Asia, the Middle-East and Africa is seeing demand growth. Data for the first seven months of CY2014 clearly outlines this development. North America and Europe registered declining demand of 3% and 2.3% respectively, while the Asian economies, including India and China, grew by 2.5%. In this backdrop, there has been several closures of high cost plants in the western world, while the developing countries have seen increased investments in the paper industry primarily to integrate across the chain and reduce costs. These developments have created a delicate balance between global demand and supply in the industry.

 

Despite digitisation across the economy, India happens to be one of the fastest growing paper markets in the world. Estimates suggest that paper demand in India will grow by 53% over the next six years, increasing from today’s levels of 13 million metric tons (MT) to 20 million MT by 2020. This will be primarily because of massive under-penetration of paper use in India. According to a report by ?India Ratings?, India’s per capita paper consumption is at 9 kg, against 22 kg in Indonesia, 25 kg in Malaysia and 42 kg in China. The global average stands at 58 kg. Policy factors also have a key role to play in the growth of the domestic paper industry in India. The governments sustained focus on literacy, increased consumer packaging, continued need for documentation for Indian Companies and expansion in organised retail continue to positively affect paper consumption and demand in India.

 

Thus, there is considerable headroom for growth with every one kg incremental per capita consumption in India translating to an additional demand of over one million MT per year. At an industry level, over the last five years, the Indian paper industry has invested around Rs. 200000.000 million towards capacity enhancement, technology up-gradation and various acquisitions. With these capacities coming on stream in a short span of time, there has been an immediate effect of intense market competition. However, this is expected to settle down as Companies focus on leveraging these assets without making much additional investments in the short to medium term. With India’s Free-Trade Agreement (FTA) with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) coming into effect from 1 January 2014, the import duty on paper supplied from countries in this region to India has been practically waived. As it stands today, there is zero duty on import of coated sheet products and 6% on import of coated-reel products. For import of both sheet and reel uncoated products, there is zero duty. Consequently, there has been an increase in volume of imported paper from ASEAN countries in 2014. This has exerted some additional competitive pressures on domestic paper manufacturers. The Company also strategically exports some of its output to leverage global opportunities, develop a market position in some countries and balance-out the supply in India.
