MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

PAINT INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Indian paint industry is largely divided into decorative and industrial segments. Decorative paints enjoy a market share of 71% and industrial paints have the balance of 29%. Decorative paints can be further classified into higher end acrylic exterior and interior emulsions, medium range exterior and interior emulsions and enamel paints, low end distempers, wall putty, primers and thinners and wood coatings. They can also be broadly categorised into water and solvent based paints. Water based paints have an edge and are growing at a higher rate because most paintable surfaces in architectural constructions use water based coatings. It also has the added advantage of being more environmentally friendly.

 

Industrial paints, on the other hand, comprise automotive including auto refinish, general industrial including consumer durables, protective coatings, coil coatings and powder coatings.

 

As in the previous year, in the year 2013-14 too, paint industry volumes as a whole continued to perform well with a growth rate, which is estimated to be more than 2 times of GDP for decorative products. The acceleration underscores the resilience of the industry - brought about by the continuous efforts of the industry to open up new markets, introduce superior products, extending the network and convincing the customers about the benefits of more frequent painting of houses. No doubt, this also reflects growing urbanisation, desires of an ever increasing middle class and reduction in repainting cycle. Despite this, per capita consumption of paints in India is now about 2.6 kg compared to the international average of 10 - 13 kg. The total size of the market is roughly estimated at Rs.350000.000 Millions. Given the much anticipated recovery in urban sentiments, GDP revival and the expected fillip to the economy, this may increase to more than Rs.500000.000 Millions by 2016-17.

 

Industrial paint demand continued to be lukewarm with sluggish growth in the infrastructure industries, particularly in automobiles, high inflation, a rather tight money market and increase in prices of raw materials. However, with the expected increase in infrastructure spending and recovery of the industry, the Company believes that this sector will bounce back.

 

COMPANY’S OPERATION

 

Over the last five years (FY 09-10 to FY 13-14), the Companys revenues, for all its businesses, net of excise duties, grew at CAGR of 17.4%. The decorative business, notched up much better numbers since in the last couple of years, the industrial growth rates under performed the average. The Companys profitability too, improved over the years. This has been possible through improvement in product mix, generating higher volumes with better economies of scale through wider reach and better servicing and, structured and well monitored measures for reduction in cost. The last one includes strong management of working capital, improvement of productivity at all plants, continuous development of alternate raw materials, new sources for raw materials and improved formulations for better quality and lower costs and innovative procuring and application. A new Vendor Management System was implemented for the purpose of seamless co-ordination and quicker decisions.

 

In keeping with the country trend, the Companys decorative business constitutes about 80% of its overall business. The Companys results for the year reflect the performance of the decorative business both in terms of volume and value. The Companys Customer Relationship Management (CRM) programme is now well entrenched all across India and the entire business is now serviced through this automated process with minimum manual intervention. The key benefits of CRM are improved dealer service levels, greater transparency and visibility of market operations, better efficiency in information systems and faster feedback for corrective measures. The Company has set up a centralized helpline for all stakeholders in its decorative business line.

 

In addition, the Company continued to concentrate on increasing the number of dealers not only in the existing areas but also in new geographies, educating them and all those who are connected with the business on the use and superiority of the Companys products and increase of throughput through more focussed addressing of consumer needs and demand generation activities.

 

The Company improved the formulation as well as look and feel of its three premium advertised products viz., Silk, Easy Clean and WeatherCoat All Guard. All three continued to perform well in the market with an impressive degree of customer recall. Silk is a deluxe interior emulsion with a soft and rich feel. It is positioned to compliment best in class furniture and fixtures, highlighting the decor of a room. Easy Clean is a premium emulsion, also for interiors, which provides the best washability and stain resistance. Weather Coat All Guard is a silicone based long lasting, premium exterior paint that matures with age and repels water, protecting the exterior walls from rain.

In the previous year, the Company had launched niche products such as Weather Coat Kool and Seal for roofs. This product is doing brisk business. This year, the Company launched BreatheEasy Enamel. This is a unique water based eco-friendly glossy enamel developed primarily for use on wood and metal. Normally, glossy enamels are solvent based. Breathe Easy Enamel, though water based, provide the same lustre in an environment friendly manner. It can also be applied on wall surfaces. The Company added to its texture coating stable by launching Tartaruga Hi-Build composed of a selection of coloured grits with added silicone for water resistance. The other two textured coatings viz., Weather Coat Texture and Tartaruga continue to perform well. The Companys construction chemicals business comprising Latex, Latex Plus, Crack Fill Paste, Latex Shield 2k, Cementmix Plus, Tile Adhesive Plus, Tile Adhesive, Crack Fill Powder and Dampshield 2k continued to grow. The functions include wall repair, water proofing and tile adhesives for various surfaces and conditions.

 

The Companys Industrial Businesses comprise Automotive, General Industrial, Protective Coatings and Powder Coatings Business. High inflation, elevated interest rates, lower infrastructure spending and lower than expected economic growth which in turn affected the fortunes of Original Equipment Manufactures in the consumer durables space as well as infrastructure related projects hurt the Industrial Business. The Company countered these through new product offerings, technically superior products, increase of customer base and shifting to new areas of application. The results of these efforts should be fully visible in the current years performance. In powder coatings, the Company entered into an agreement with TIGER Coatings GmbH and Co. KG, Austria for distribution of their products in India.

 

All the factories of the Company operated at a satisfactory level and continued to provide the desired support to the marketing teams. In order to ensure cost effective and quicker supplies, the Company is in the process of extending Industrial products manufacturing capabilities to factories located at different regions. This needs standardisation of work processes and quality related parameters and propagation of best practices which are being addressed on an basis.

 

 

FOCUS AND OUTLOOK FOR 2014-15

 

In the recent past, Indian economy had been growing at a rate of less than 5%. In spite of that, as mentioned earlier in this report, the paint industry in general and the Company in particular, continued to maintain their respective growth trajectory, specifically in the decorative coatings segment. At the time of writing this report, international credit rating agencies give an investment grade rating to the country. In the coming times, the country will have to contend with issues of inflation control and interest rates, current account and fiscal deficits, subsidies and non plan expenditure all the time keeping an eye on eradication of poverty, attraction of investment and generation of employment. The Company believes that these are problems which are surmountable with will and tenacity. Several important policies had been stalled in the recent past and once these are cleared, the Company believes that the paint industry will grow at an even faster pace. In infrastructure, it is reported that out of the projects worth Rs.22,000 billion, only one-third have been revived in the recent past. Implementation of the balance projects will create major demand in most sectors.

 

Manufacturing sector has been one of the worst sufferers in the recent past. It is the sector which generates maximum wealth and provides employment to those who need it the most. It is expected that this sector will be given due attention. Improvements are also expected in the road and the power sectors. All these will benefit the paint industry. To this extent, the Company will continue to expand its network through providing business opportunities to hitherto unattended counters and areas. This will include dedicated stores and alternate business channels. The Companys Prolinks Business is being strengthened to be able to better cater to major projects. The Company has just launched Express Painting a solution for faster painting services and this will be extended to the whole country over a period of time through the Companys trusted dealers. While the Company will continue to improve the formulations of its existing products based on market research and feedback, new products in the form of fire retardant paints, emulsion primer and paints with better finish will be introduced in the market. In wood coatings, the Company looks forward to introduction of 2:1 polyurethane paint, which will provide better protection to furniture and wooden parts of houses.

 

The Company will continue to develop tailor made products for Automotive, General Industrial and Protective Coatings segments based on the demand of its customers. In order to achieve this, the Company has strengthened its sales teams for all Industrial business lines. The Companys products have been accepted well in 2013-14 and the Company expects the same kind of support from the customers in the near future also. These efforts are jointly co-ordinated by Sales, Research and Development, Procurement and Production teams.The Companys competence in new product development and continuous improvement of existing products has to be complimented by capabilities in servicing and to this extent, the Company will continue to expand its depot network and install systems and processes for warehouse and logistics management and finished goods management.
