MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

As a manufacturer of chemical-based industrial intermediates, SRF produces a wide range of products that touch everyone’s life in more ways than one. Businesses With operations in three countries namely India, Thailand and

South Africa, SRF is the market leader in most of its products and also enjoys significant global presence in some of its businesses. It classifies its main businesses as: Technical Textiles Business (TTB), Chemicals & Polymers Business (CPB) and Packaging Films Business (PFB).

 

Technical Textiles Business

 

The lackluster status of the Indian economy has had its effect, though limited, on the Technical Textiles Business (TTB) since several of the sectors that the business serves saw low growth and in some cases de-growth. Nevertheless, in spite of such circumstances, the business performed reasonably with revenues growing by 8% approx. over the previous year and the profitability improving by double digits.

 

Tyre Cord Reinforcement

 

With radialisation percentage in the Commercial Vehicle segment reaching around 25% and the fortunes of the Transport Industry being in doldrums due to the state of the economy, the Bias Tyre segment of the commercial vehicle showed marginal de-growth. The business, however, leveraging its strong market position as a leader of Nylon Tyre Cord Fabrics (NTCF), posted an improved performance.

 

As a major step towards improving the competitiveness of the business, SRF closed the operations of its plant at the Jebel Ali Free Zone, UAE which had become unviable due to high cost of production and economic slowdown. Currently, the Company is in the process of relocating/disposing its assets and affecting closure. On its part, SRF successfully organised approvals from customers for supplies from its other units to retain the businesses developed.

 

The Thailand unit suffered a setback during the year on account of a fire in its Dipping Unit, which disrupted business for around 45 days; otherwise, the unit’s performance has been satisfactory. In the Polyester Fabrics and Yarn segment, SRF shifted gears by focusing on yarn business for diversified industrial applications, keeping in view the fall in automotive production. This has helped this segment to keep its head above water.

 

Belting Fabrics

 

In the current global circumstances, the Company changed its strategy in this business segment by focusing on domestic markets and expanding its range of value-added products. This, coupled with a reduction in turnaround time of orders, has enabled it to substantially increase its market share in the domestic market, leading to an improved performance in India.

 

The South African subsidiary, which did well in the first few months of the year, struggled in the second half of the year due to lack of orders. This situation arose on account of mining being adversely affected in South Africa as well as one of its key customers preferring to import from low cost countries rather than buying locally. Corrective steps were undertaken through redesign of product to lower costs and offer a better solution to the customer.

 

Coated and Laminated Fabrics

 

The Laminated Fabrics business saw entry of several new players during the year, with a blood bath for market shares. This led to significant margin erosion in a highly competitive industry, which saw a flat growth this year as against double digit growth in previous years. But this being a cyclical business, one may expect to see a more rational approach with regard to the market dynamics.

 

In the Coated Fabrics business, many new products introduced by the Company settled down with better prospects in the coming year. The Company is in the process of developing more products, which shall be launched in the ensuing year.

 

Whilst this business segment struggled during the year particularly due to slow down in the transport sector where tarpaulins were the main stay of the business, the prospect looks better as the market improves.

Industrial Yarn SRF continues to hold its position in different applications of Industrial Yarns with stable performance.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The NTCF volume is likely to improve as the economy picks up in 2014-15. The assumption is based on the fact that the business remained stable even during 2012-13, a year of high radialisation (due to a strong push by the commercial vehicle producers and tyre companies with new radial capacities) and marginal de-growth. It is, therefore, natural to expect that the foundation business of the Company will continue to make a significant contribution for years to come.

 

The fortunes of the Laminated Fabrics segment are likely to gain traction as the demand picks up in the second half of 14-15. In the Coated Fabrics segment, the recovery of the transport sector and new product launches would spur an improved performance.

 

The prospect of a resolution of the long pending issues with regard to mining and infrastructure projects, in particular, augurs well for Belting Fabrics which are essentially used as reinforcement in the conveyor belts. As a result, the business expects higher volumes adding to both – the top and the bottom line.

SRF acquires Global DuPont™ Dymel® HFC 134a Pharma Business

 

  • SRF owns the Dymel® brand
  • SRF receives the technology for setting up its own cGMP
  • SRF becomes one of the world’s few suppliers of the pharma grade of HFC 134a

 

Gurgaon, 1st January 2015:

 

SRF Ltd, a multi business entity and one of the leading manufacturers of refrigerants in India, signed a binding agreement on 31 st December 2014 to purchase the global 134a regulated medical pharmaceutical propellant business from DuPont, a world leader in innovation and science. This DuPont Fluorochemicals business is part of the Performance Chemicals segment which DuPont anticipates separating by mid-2015. The acquisition comes into force with immediate effect.

 

Under the transaction, SRF will own the DuPont Dymel® brand and will also receive the technology and know-how for setting up its own ‘current Good Manufacturing Practices’ (cGMP) facility for manufacturing HFC 134a Pharma grade. DuPont and SRF have entered an agreement under which DuPont will supply SRF with product until SRF’s production facility is approved.

 

SRF is the only Indian manufacturer of HFC 134a and also has the rare distinction of developing the product with indigenous technology. For SRF, this transaction provides immediate access to DuPont’s technology, brand and customers, thus enabling an instant entry into the niche pharmaceutical segment at a global level. SRF has two manufacturing facilities for HFCs in India. Through this transaction SRF would not only utilise its existing HFC 134a facilities better, but would also become one of the world’s few suppliers of the pharma grade of HFC 134a, a product with stringent purity and handling parameters, and superior margins.

 

In the long run, the access to the pharma segment allows SRF to move up the value chain and cater to the growing demand for the pharma grade HFC 134a, which, as per the global health standards, is approved as a long-term environment friendly alternative propellant for a growing number of medical applications.

 

Additionally, with the possibility of some drugs going off patent by 2019, it is likely that India will witness a significant growth in the demand of pharma grade of HFC 134a and SRF, as the only Indian supplier of the product, looks well positioned to reap the benefits.

 

Commenting on the transaction, Mr. Ashish Bharat Ram, Managing Director, SRF Ltd. stated, “This acquisition is in sync with our long term strategy to move up the value chain and will enable us to enter the niche pharma product segment. The growth in the Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI) sector is expected to be reasonably robust in the years to come and with India playing a major role in this sector we are ideally positioned to take benefit of this opportunity. This will also offer great synergy with our existing HFC plants going forward.”

 

Providing a rationale for the transaction Kathryn K. McCord, Global Business Director, DuPont Fluorochemicals, said, “DuPont is making this move to enable a stronger focus on developing and commercializing the company’s new family of products.” She further added, “We believe this business is an excellent fit for SRF, which already supplies to the pharmaceutical industry.”
