During the financial year ended March 31, 2014, the Company continued to execute initiatives focused on these

Principles. These initiatives will continue to create long term value for our stakeholders and help position your

Company as a leading supplier of premium grade products in the Indian market.

 

The past two years have witnessed significant challenges for the paper industry in India. A soft economic environment, combined with significant escalations in fiber costs, depreciation of the rupee (versus the US Dollar)

and inflation has resulted in cost headwinds which have been challenging.

 

During the financial year ended March 31, 2014, your Company recorded:

 

a.       paper production of 210,584 MT as against 258,202 MT for the previous 15 month period ended March 31, 2013;

 

b.       revenue of Rs.10916.500 Millions from net sale of paper as against Rs.12305.000 Millions for the     

Previous 15 month period ended March 31, 2013;

 

       c. sales of 208,089 MT as compared to 279,093 MT in the fifteen month period January 2012 - March 2013.

           The Company managed to get a better Net Sales  Realization per MT over the previous year due to    

           upward price revisions across all grades and a change in the product mix;

 

       d. export volume of 16,748 MT as against 37,819 MT for the previous 15 month period ended March 31,

           2013. There was substantial increase in sales realisation per MT over the previous period;

 

       e. EBIDTA of Rs.739.800 Millions as against Rs.1387.700 Millions;

 

f. a loss of Rs.416.100 Millions in view of longer outage at Unit: Rajahmundry, rupee depreciation, adverse      

   fiber price and product mix and delay in consents. The outage, completed without any LIFE incident,    resulted in quarterly  downtime of 24 hours in recovery boiler. The critical issue of electric overhead     travelling cranes in respect of Paper Machine # 2, 3 & 5 was addressed by renovation.

 

AWARDS/CERTIFICATIONS

 

The Company received 'Special Export Award' for 2011-12, in recognition of its achievement in respect of paper

and paperboard, as export sale increased by 19.14% as compared to the previous financial year 2010-11. The award was presented on December 26, 2013 by Dr. E.M. Sudarsana Natchiappan, Hon'ble Minister of State for

Commerce and Industry, Government of India, at the export award presentation function organized by CAPEXIL

at Kolkata.

 

RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

 

The  Company's concerted efforts, in stiff competitive environment, has been able to meet 100% requirement of pulpwood from local farmers and was able to source major part of raw material primarily within 350 kms radius With in Andhra Pradesh.

 

During the last year, 204.800 million quality saplings (around 27% increase over the last year) were distributed covering an area of 28,019 hectares under plantation, as against development and distribution of 161.30 million seedlings covering an extent of 22,975 hectares during the previous 2012 planting year. Research on clonal development has resulted in introduction of high yielding, disease resistant clones and versatile to a wide variety of agro-climatic conditions in inland and coastal areas.

 

Research and Development has been taken at a wider perspective through a collaborative project with Institute of

Forest Genetic & Tree Breeding, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu. We are introducing more farmer-friendly demonstration

plots and other cost reduction measures in qualitative and quantitative production processes. In addition, the initiatives with high yielding, short rotation planting stock will enhance raw material availability, spread over 1,84,000 hectares. These have created a pool of about 91.75 million man-days especially in rural areas, so far.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL SCENARIO

 

Pulp, paper and board totalling 400 million metric tons is produced on all continents. The largest producer countries, US, China, Japan and Canada, make up more than half of the world's production. Asia Pacific is turning dominant in the industry due to improvement in changing lifestyle of consumers, rapid urbanization, and rise in disposable income. A combination of factors such as demographic and economic conditions, and environmental regulations has had a significant impact on the industry dynamics. Paper consumption is forecasted to increase to 490 million tons by 2020.

 

Celulose based paper and packaging has been an integral part of our cultural development and is essential for modern life, helps to raise the levels of literacy worldwide and plays an important role in protecting goods and foodstuffs during transit.

 

It is a versatile product with many end uses varying from household papers, graphic and office papers to medical papers. 50% of the paper and board produced globally is used for packaging. Writing & printing paper makes the second largest market for paper. Half the global paper is consumed in Europe and North America.

 

Pulp and paper is primarily made out of wood fibers originating from natural forests or pulpwood plantations. Recycled fiber and other fiber sources such as agricultural residue are also utilized and recycled fiber is becoming more commonly used in pulp and paper making.

 

Recent trend shows, several global pulp and paper companies are moving their production to the southern hemisphere due to lower production costs and proximity to fast growing pulpwood plantations. Adoption of responsible pulpwood plantation practices is another dynamic that is getting the attention of producers. Pulp and paper production often provides well needed jobs in many areas where other employment opportunities are limited.

 

Paper is made from renewable resources, and responsibly produced and used paper has many advantages over non-renewable alternative materials. Responsible production also minimizes harmful impact on forests, climate, and water. The industry in general has been in the forefront of stewardship to bring about sustainable forestry, clean pulp and paper manufacturing, and promote responsible paper consumption. The pulp and paper industry priorities can be summarized as follows:

 

Wood fiber is grown, sourced and re-used in a responsible way. Maximizing the use of recycled fibers and sourcing virgin fiber from credibly certified natural forests and plantations is tending to reduce paper's ecological footprint.

 

With the use of clean technology, the manufacturing process does minimize pulp and paper products' impact on climate change and water. Carbon dioxide emissions from the manufacturing process is being reduced by investing in new plants, retrofitting existing plants, heat recovery and increased paper recycling.

 

Sustainable consumption practices help to reduce the environmental impact of paper.

 

INDIAN PAPER INDUSTRY

 

In this 140 year old paper industry, the first paper mill is known to have been established way back in 1867. According to an estimate, the paper industry has over 800 units engaged in the manufacture of paper, paperboards and newsprint across the country. The geographical spread of the industry as well as market is mainly responsible for regional balance of production and consumption. There is near self-sufficiency with the indigenous production of most varieties of paper and paperboards. Certain varieties  of specialty papers are, however, imported.

 

The industry grew with the rising level of literacy, improving well-being of the people and surging aspiration levels. Paper usage has increased over the years. Yet, the per capita consumption in the country is estimated to be barely 9.3 kgs compared with 75 kgs in China, 158 kgs each in European Union, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore & Malaysia, 218 kgs in Japan, 224 kgs in North America, and the global average itself is a healthy 55 kgs.

 

India has 17% of the world's population yet accounts for only about 3% of the world's production of paper and paperboard. The estimated turnover of the industry is Rs.358000.000 Millions approximately and provides employment to more than 370,000 people directly and 1,300,000 indirectly.

 

Most of the paper mills are in existence for a long time and hence present technologies fall in a wide spectrum ranging from oldest to the most modern. The mills use a variety of raw material viz. wood, bamboo, recycled fiber, bagasse, wheat straw, rice straw, etc.; approximately 35% are based on chemical pulp, 44% on recycled fiber and 21% on agro-residues.

 

India's wood resources suitable for paper production are inadequate. Cost of wood is hence much higher in comparison to the rest of the world. Since there is conspicuous absence of enabling policies favoring corporate plantation or farming, securing future wood supplies will be the industry's biggest challenge. Wood based segment of the paper industry meets its current wood requirements mainly through social/farm forestry and supplements it with purchases from the state forest development corporations. A few manufacturers have even explored import of raw wood from neighboring countries.

 

The paper industry in India is majorly categorized in to writing and printing (W&P), paperboard and newsprint segments. Paperboards constitute approximately 46% of the demand volume, while W&P accounts for approximately 31%. Newsprint makes for another 18%.

 

Major varieties of W&P are creamwove, maplitho, copier and coated paper. Recent trends indicate higher quality paper segments such as copier and coated varieties have been gaining volumes, while creamwove has a stable market. Maplitho, copier and coated paper command higher realizations, while creamwove is a volume runner. According to industry estimates, creamwove commands 44% of the W&P market, maplitho occupies 22% and copiers constitute the balance 34%.

 

Paperboard, primarily used for industrial purposes, consists of kraft paper, virgin board and recycled board. Kraft paper is produced in several varieties generally differentiated by properties of strength and grammage. Paperboard varieties include coated/uncoated duplex, chromo and triplex boards.

 

Cost competitiveness has differentiated the performance of paper mills, largely affected by location of the mills. Successful mills have been located near source of raw material i.e. wood as well as near source of coal, water and skilled labor. Availability and cost of power had also had a bearing on the performance of paper mills.

 

So far, the growth in paper industry has mirrored the growth in GDP. India is the fastest growing market for paper globally and it presents an exciting scenario; the operating capacity of the industry currently stands at 13.10 million tons. Of these, paperboard production is about 5.9 million tons, W&P constitutes 4.1 million tons and newsprint makes for 2.5 million tons. Amongst W&P, uncoated paper accounts for 84% or about 3.45 million tons (including creamwove 1.78 million tons; maplitho 0.90  million tons and copier 0.77 million tons) and the balance 16% is made up of coated paper (art board, art paper and chrome paper).

 

Paper consumption is poised for a big leap forward in sync with growing emphasis on education and literacy, along with the expected resurgence in the economy and is estimated to touch 13.95 million tons by 2017-18. While W&P is expected to reach 5.2 million tons, robust growth is expected in the copier variety which is likely to climb from the present 0.77 million tons to 1.25 million tons. Similarly, paperboard production is estimated to increase from the present 5.9 million tons to 7.6 million tons by 2017-18 with improved FMCG sales, wider reach of organized retail, penetration of healthcare in to the rural economy, sustained demand for packaged products in line with rising aspiration levels and changed lifestyles.

 

Growth in paper consumption anecdotally is correlated to the growth in GDP and hence an increase in consumption by one kg per capita on a 100 basis point increase in GDP, would lead to an increase in demand of 1 million ton. With growth in GDP and increase in literacy, paper consumption in India is bound to go up. In fact, consumption in India is estimated to double by 2020.

 

 

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

International Paper APPM Limited ("IPAPPM"/"the Company") formerly known as The Andhra Pradesh Paper

Mills Limited is an integrated pulp and paper manufacturer. APPM was incorporated on June 29, 1964 in pursuance of an agreement dated May 13, 1964 between Government of Andhra Pradesh (GOAP) and Mr. G.D. Somani. By an agreement dated February 10, 1966, Mr. G. D. Somani transferred all his rights, powers and authorities contained in the agreement dated May 13, 1964 in favour of The West Coast Paper Mills Limited (WCPM). By an agreement dated April 16, 1981, WCPM assigned to Digvijay Investments Limited (DIL) all its rights and obligations under the agreement dated February 10, 1966.

 

Consequent upon disinvestment of its entire shareholding in favour of DIL in December, 2003, GOAP and DIL agreed by an agreement dated December 12, 2003 that all subsisting rights and obligations of GOAP and DIL arising out of the above agreements dated February 10, 1966 and April 16, 1981 stand terminated with effect from

December 18, 2003. In October, 2011, IP Holding Asia Singapore Pte. Limited has acquired controlling stake of 75% of paid up share capital in the Company from the then promoters and public shareholders. Pursuant to such acquisition, IP Holding Asia Singapore Pte Limited became the holding company of International Paper APPM Limited (formerly The Andhra Pradesh Paper Mills Limited) and International Paper Company, USA being the ultimate holding company.

 

The Company owns and operates two manufacturing units located in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India, one at

Rajahmundry and the other at Kadiyam in East Godavari District.

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

In its bid to gain momentum, the endeavor of the Company has been to adopt strategic principles that enhance long-term performance. The Company strived to become the low cost producer; fine tune customer support processes and systems to add excellence in delivery; focus on safety, environment and productivity to benchmark with global standards; and expand in printing and writing segments to be a leading supplier of premium grade products in the Indian market.

 

The environment was challenging, yet IP APPM produced of 210,584 MT of paper in the 12-months ended March 2014 as against 258,202 MT for the previous 15 month period ended March 31, 2013. Sales volume was 208,089 MT as compared to 279,093 MT in the fifteen month period January 2012-March 2013. Upward price revisions

across all grades were made and together with a change in the product mix, the Company earned a higher Net Sales Realization per MT of about 19.90% at `55,834.

 

There was 17% increase in export realisation per MT at `51,913 for the year over the previous period. The volume however, was lower at 16,748 MT as against 37,819 MT for the previous 15 month period ended March 31, 2013.

 

The net revenue from operations of Rs.10916.500 Millions from sale of paper is favorably comparable to Rs.12305.000 Millions in the previous 15 month period ended March 31, 2013; EBIDTA was Rs.739.800 Millions in the financial year as against Rs.1387.700 Millions in the earlier 15-month period.

 

Interest and Finance Charges for the current period of 12 months were Rs. 433.900 Millions as against Rs.553.600 Millions for the 15 month period of previous year. There was an annualized saving of 2% p.a. over the previous reporting period.

 

The foreign exchange fluctuation during the period under review was in the range of Rs.54.38 to Rs.61.12 per US Dollar representing 12.50% movement. The loss on account of adverse movement in foreign exchange rates was Rs.15.700 Millions during the reporting period as compared to Rs.20.000 Millions in the previous reporting period

 

One of the major thrust area of the Company was to enhance efficiencies throughout the operational process, which helped reduce costs. Yet, during 2013-14, there was a loss of Rs.416.100 Millions in view of longer outage at Unit:Rajahmundry, rupee depreciation, adverse input Raw Material costs and delay in consents.

 

Note: The current period figures relate to 12 months ended March 2014 as against the 15 month period ended March 2013 in the previous report and hence are not comparable. Paper demand has seasonal impact which may not permit extrapolation between two unequal periods.

 

GENERAL ECONOMIC FACTORS

 

Adverse business developments could have a negative effect on the demand for paper products, financial conditions and results of operation. The paper industry has a positive correlation to economic development and lower GDP growth could affect business fortunes.

 

Global pressures notwithstanding, the Indian economy is expected to grow much higher than the world average and report a GDP growth of around 6% in 2014-15. The Planning Commission of the Government of India has projected 8.2% annual average economic growth rate during 2012-17, in the approach document to the 12th Plan.

The paper industry will benefit from the stimulus packages and investment in education being made by the Union Government. Higher literacy and aspiration levels of the people are expected to further increase the rate at which the paper industry is growing.

 

 

MANAGEMENT OF RISKS

 

Risks and uncertainties are an inherent part of every business, and yet it is important to identify the risks and take proactive steps to mitigate and minimize them. IP APPM identifies and evaluates risks as early as possible and limits business losses by taking suitable measures. The Company aims to avoid risks that pose a threat to its sustainable growth.

 

IP APPM understands that risks can negatively impact fruition of both short-term operational and long-term strategic goals. Risk management is a part of the Company's business planning and controlling process.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The long-term outlook is positive. The potentials of the paper industry are likely to be unlocked in the near future given the confidence in the Indian economy and the measures being taken by the government to rein in inflation, create employment opportunities, expand per capita incomes and invest in literacy and health. The undertone is firm across the Indian economy. There is a positive momentum and the paper industry can look ahead with reasonable optimism.

 

IP APPM has positioned itself better by strengthening the organizational processes and systems over the past two years. Concerted efforts were made to inspire the people with focus on management development as well as to improve efficiency of resources. Manufacturing processes were stabilized and new products introduced which have added to traction in the market. In a competitive copier market, IP APPM today has a high-end product.

 

There is some level of flattening in raw material prices. Farm forestry efforts have started to pay off with more plantings being made by farmers in their wastelands. Wood prices have tempered, while availability in the catchment areas have improved. Paper prices have tended to be firm, and with initiatives taken towards cost compression and efficiency enhancement, IP APPM will be creating the basis to ensure the Company's long-term success.

2.       The above unaudited financial results have been subjected to Limited Review by the Statutory Auditors of the Company

 

3.       The Company has adopted the useful lives of fixed assets as specified in Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013 effective April 1, 2014. Consequently the depreciation and amortization expenses for the Quarter and Six Months Ended September 30, 2014 is lower by Rs. 446.91 Millions and Rs. 885.23 Millions respectively.

 

4.       During the period ended December 31, 2011, the Company had accrued Rs. 41.599 Millions towards managerial remuneration paid to the erstwhile Directors, of which Rs 19.464 Millions, was in excess of the maximum limits specified in Schedule XIII to the Companies Act, 1956. The members of the Company at the Annual General Meeting held on March 22, 2012 approved the waiver of recovery of excess remuneration paid to the Directors, subject to Central Government's approval. Consequently, requisite application was made by the Company to Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on April 17, 2012, for which approval was received by the Company towards waiver of recovery of excess remuneration paid to erstwhile Managing Director and Executive Directors. However, MCA had rejected the application made by the Company for the waiver of recovery of excess remuneration paid to a promoter director during March 31, 2014, citing that he is a Director in two companies in the same financial year. Subsequent to a representation made by the Company to the MCA to reconsider the said rejection, the MCA vide its letter dated July 17, 2014 has directed, that the excess remuneration paid to the promoter director, needs to be refunded to either the Company or to the other Company in which he is a Director. The Company has received a certificate from the Statutory Auditors of the other Company, stating that the amount has been refunded by the Director to the other Company. Accordingly the Company has intimated the same to MCA vide its letter dated October 14, 2014.

 

5.       The Company is in the business of manufacture and sale of pulp, paper and paper boards. Management views manufacture and sale of pulp, paper and paper boards as a single reportable business segment.

 

6.       During the previous year the Company had incorporated a subsidiary, IP India Foundation for its Corporate Social Responsibility activities. The same is not considered for consolidation, as the objective of control over this entity is not to obtain economic benefits from its activities.
