COMPANY INFORMATION

Subject is a public limited company domiciled in India and is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The company is engaged interalia, in manufacturing and selling of Specialty Chemicals. The Company has its own manufacturing sites in the State of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

2014 was the year of transformation for the Company. The year witnessed major events in the form of sale of leather service business, acquisition of master batches business, shifting of registered office and sale of Kolshet site. In spite of revenue loss arising out of sale of textile, paper and emulsion business effective from October 1, 2013 and leather service business effective from May 1, 2014, the Company has been able to grow significantly in continued businesses. Despite negative business sentiments, high inflation and depreciation of Indian currency against major currencies during first half of the year, the Company has been able to minimize the revenue loss. Thanks to the acquisition of master batches business which provided support in recouping the revenue loss and improved Company’s market place for this business, sustained drive by marketing, resulted into record sales growth throughout the year. The performance in terms of net profit was affected by higher raw material prices and associated costs of restructuring the business.

The Company registered sales of Rs.10082.000 Million as compared to Rs.12132.000 Million, negative growth of 16.9% in sales. Out of the total sales revenue of the Company for the year, 26% is contributed by exports. After considering the impact of sale of Textile, Paper and Emulsion business (TPE business) effective from October 1, 2013, and sale of leather services business effective from May 1, 2014, the growth in sales on like to like basis was a record 43.6% over the previous year. The increased cost of raw materials and inflationary rise in other expenses resulted into lowering of PBDIT margin before exceptional items from 11.4% to 3.8%. Exceptional items for the current year mainly represent profit from sale of leather business (net of transfer of assets and other liabilities) Rs.1040.900 Million and profit from sale of Kolshet site Rs.10854.800 Million. Exceptional item for previous year mainly represents sale of TPE business. Considering the exceptional items, the net profit after provision for tax is significantly higher over the previous year. The Company remains focused to improve its core business and look for higher market share in the business segments in which it operates.
