f) Employees Stock Option Scheme (ESOPS):

 

During the year, the Company has instituted an Essel Employee Stock Option Scheme 2014 (“the Scheme”) as approved by the Board of Directors for issuance of stock options to the eligible employees of the Company and of its subsidiaries, other than directors, promoters or person belonging to promoter group.

 

Pursuant to the said scheme, stocks options convertible into 29,53,000 equity shares of Rs. 2 each were granted to eligible employees at an exercise price of Rs. 121.65, being the market price as defined in the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Share Based Employee Benefits) Regulation, 2014 (SEBI Regulation). In view of there being no intrinsic value on the date of the grant (being the excess of market price of share under the Scheme over the exercise price of the option), the Company is not required to account for the value of options as per the SEBI Regulations.

 

Subject to terms and conditions of the Scheme, the said options will vest on each of 1 July 2016, 1 July 2017 and 1 July 2018 to the extent mentioned in the letter of grant and can be exercised within a maximum period of four years from the date of vesting.

 

 

g) No bonus shares have been issued and no shares bought back during five years preceding 31 March 2015.

 

h) 5,00,155 equity shares of Rs. 2 each fully paid up were allotted on 14 September 2012 for consideration other than cash, pursuant to the Scheme of merger of Ras Propack Lamipack Limited and Ras Extrusions Limited with the Company.

 

i) During the year, the Company issued demand cum forfeiture notice to 129 shareholders holding 71,650 partly paid equity shares {Refer 3(c) above}. Subsequently, the Company has received balance call amount due alongwith interest from 13 shareholders holding 35,925 partly paid equity shares; and shareholders holding the balance 35,725 partly paid equity shares have failed to pay the balance due call amount along with interest and the Board in its meeting held on 29 January 2015 approved forfeiture of the said 35,725 partly paid equity shares alongwith 21,395 bonus share entitlement, aggregating to 57,120 equity shares (Refer 3 {a} above). The amount of Rs. 78,515 (representing 35,725 partly paid-up equity shares and 21,395 fully paid-up bonus shares) will be transferred to reserves upon cancellation / re-issue of these shares.

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Essel Propack Limited (hereinafter referred to as ‘EPL’ or ‘the Company’) is a producer of plastic packaging material in the form of multilayer collapsible tubes and laminates used primarily for packaging of toothpaste, personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, household and industrial products.

 

INDIA STANDALONE RESULTS:

 

Total revenue grew by 12% over the previous year, with Sales and Operating income growing by 13.3% year over year. In fact, the Sales and Operating income grew by a high 18% during the first half year, which was partly offset by a weak 8% growth during the second half in the wake of a sluggish Indian economy. New capacity investment made early in the year thus could not ramp up as envisaged. With a higher operating cost and the depreciation charge attributable to new capacity which could not be ramped up on account of weakness in demand beginning middle of the year, the India Standalone posted Net profit for the year of Rs. 565.000 Million as against Rs. 545.000 Million in the previous year.

 

 

 

 

REVIEW OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

The Company is a leading manufacturer globally of Laminated and Plastic Collapsible tubes and laminates. Its products are extensively used in packaging of products across categories such as Beauty and Cosmetics, Pharma and Health, Foods, Home and Oral care. The FMCG and Pharma industry which consume the Company’s products has been a high growth industry and is expected to sustain growth in future. In the so called mature markets of Europe, USA and Japan, the FMCG is witnessing introduction of new Beauty care products such as Anti Ageing, Beauty Balms, Complexion Correction creams, Hair colorants, cosmetic and therapeutic toothpastes etc which brings new growth opportunity for your Company in the emerging markets of India, China, Latin America, Middle and Far East. The FMCG usage is expanding helped by increasing disposable income, growing youth population, expansion of modern retail/ etail and increasing awareness and demand to look and feel good in the emerging markets. The Pharma demand too is buoyed by increasing life expectancy, growth of generics and “health for all” policies pursued globally by governments and the NGOs. The Company as an established player providing innovative packaging solutions for products in paste/cream/gel forms, is in a sense firmly embedded in the FMCG / Pharma space. In addition to benefitting from growth in the brands traditionally in the tube form, the Company is also actively involved in replacing packaging forms such as bottles, jars and aluminum tubes for a number of brands, leveraging the inherent advantage of laminated tubes and the technological improvement your Company has been able to bring about.

 

 

INDIA STANDALONE

 

India Standalone accounts for 32.5% of the Company’s Consolidated Sales. The Company enjoys a massive franchise in India, having pioneered the laminated tubes over three decades. The Customer portfolio encompassing reputed FMCG and Pharma brands - Indian and MNC, mass and niche, established and new, continues to grow. The second half of the year witnessed a distinct slow down in customer off-take reflective of the state of economy. This impacted the ramp up of new capacity invested early in the year impacting the operating margin. The Company continued to pursue opportunity in Pharma packaging and help change of other packaging form to laminated tube. Several efficiency improvement measures too were implemented at the factories. A new clean room for pharma packaging was commissioned in another unit. The unit at Nallagarh is undergoing expansion to support new customers located nearby. Exports to markets in South Asia, Middle East and Africa continue to be a focus area. The Directors are of the view that India growth story remains intact, notwithstanding the recent sluggishness. The oral care category in the country, even though large, is far from mature even in comparison to ASEAN or China, and therefore will continue to drive growth for the Company. The non oral care category powered by increasing aspirations of growing young population and expanding modern retail, presents the Company with exciting opportunity to pursue growth. The Company already derives 52.38% of its sales from the non oral care category. The Directors are of the view that as the country’s per capita GDP increases to mid to high range, demand for sophisticated packaging will drive medium to long term value growth.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Eminently suited for packing viscous products such as pastes, gels and creams. Like any packaging material, they protect the product from elements and preserve freshness, flavor and fragrance. As a packaging form they additionally offer superior value proposition in terms of ease of dispensing the product, hygienic storage in a multiple usage situation and excellent brand visibility on the retail shelf.

 

The Company pioneered laminated tubes in India. Over the last 33 years, the Company has transformed into a leading global player in laminated tubes, selling over 6.5 billion tubes and having manufacturing presence in eleven countries through subsidiaries, Joint Venture and Associate. Its supplies reach many more countries through export of tubes, either directly by the Company or by the customers after filling in their product. In this sense, your Company’s tubes touch the lives of billions of consumers in countries across the world. One in every three of the laminated tubes supplied across the world today for oral care application is manufactured by your Company. Tubes account for 89% of the Company’s consolidated sales. The flexible laminate manufactured only in India constitutes the balance. The Company’s key strengths include a strong domain knowledge of polymers and plastic structures, proven Research and Development capability, global customer network, multi-country presence, scale and a vertically integrated manufacturing model, all of which help thec  Company to respond to market needs speedily. The world market for tubes is huge, about 36 billion in the markets the Company operates. Of this, oral care tubes account for 14 billion, Beauty and Cosmetics account for 12 billion and Pharma, Health and others account for 10 billion. Tubes for Beauty and Cosmetics applications are pre-dominantly extruded Plastic tubes, and those for Pharma are pre-dominantly Aluminium tubes. Beauty and Cosmetics as a category is largest in Europe, USA and Japan. This category is witnessing introduction of several new products such as Anti-ageing creams, Beauty Balms, Complexion creams, Hair Colorants etc. Even the existing product range is getting re-launched with more efficacious formulations. The industry is looking for packaging which can resonate the product’s functionality in terms of look and feel, can provide barrier for long term efficacy and freshness, and reduce carbon footprint. The Company has been able to address these very emerging needs through its new generation laminate structures and decoration capability. This is finding traction in driving the Company’s business in the developed markets.

 

In the case of pharmaceuticals, use of aluminium tubes for packaging is going out of favour for reasons of concerns on product safety. The Company over the years has perfected laminate structures that are efficacious for various pharma actives. Coupled with innovation in tamper evidence, anti counterfeit and dispensing technologies, your Company is now able to offer comprehensive packaging solution to Pharma, both OTC and prescription drugs. This is seeing traction in emerging markets like India and Egypt. India is growing as a large pharma tube manufacturing hub for both local and multinational brands. This experience is capable of replicating at other Units.

 

The use of tubes is now seen to extend to other categories such as Foods and Home care, for a range of products such as condensed milk, Wasabi sauce, cheese spread, glue / adhesives etc. Besides, a number of products hitherto packed in other packaging forms such as bottles and jars find tubes more attractive and value enhancing for their brands.

 

The Company therefore sees a huge market in the non oralcare category where it can deploy its new generation laminated tubes and continue to grow in the years to come.

 

 

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)

 

The Company strongly believes in the power of IT to empower its people, for planning and controlling the business processes efficiently and effectively, and integrating the processes. Hence, it continues to invest in state of art IT architecture and applications in areas which will benefit the business most. Under implementation currently is a state of the art Advance Planning Optimizer solution (APO) which will improve your Company’s Demand Planning and Production scheduling capabilities. Also implemented are online training and simulation modules for learning and self-development of people. The Company closely monitors the ERP usage effectiveness through carefully created indexes and drives businesses and functions to continuously improve their performance on this measure. Independent ERP system audit was conducted to further strengthen governance process. Analytics and Dashboard systems are being implemented to provide more insights into business for better decision making. A Steering Committee comprising of the Corporate Leadership Team supervises the IT initiatives and IT effectiveness through regular monthly reviews.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The performance in the recent years of the Company’s business has been satisfying. The strategy for growth is clear. The non oral-care category globally offers immense potential for the Company to sustain a profitable growth, and all the necessary building blocks are well in place across the Units. The Company has been fast re-shaping its processes and aligning its people to this Vision and Mission of creating long term shareholder value. Global customers are seen to consolidate their sourcing and partner with global suppliers like the Company. Even more exciting is the long term growth opportunity presented by the cosmetics, hair and personal care FMCG brands moving from other packaging forms into laminated tubes. With its large scale, global presence, innovation capability and motivated Human capital , the Company is well set to take on the task of delighting all its stakeholders.
