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.

 

The performance in associated costs of restructuring the business. The Company registered sales of 10082.000 Million as compared to 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)  1040.900 Million and profit from sale of Kolshet site 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.

 

 

RELOCATION TO NEW OFFICE

 

The Company has leased out about 142,000 sq. ft. of office space in Reliable Tech Park, Airoli, Navi Mumbai for a term of 20 years from M/s. Reliable Exports. All offices and laboratories were moved out of Kolshet and relocated to the new premises on July 1, 2014 and October 1, 2014 respectively. A sum of 650.000 Million was incurred in creating facilities at new office.

 

REGISTERED OFFICE

 

In view of change in office location, the registered office of the Company shifted from Sandoz baug, Kolshet Road, Thane to Reliable Tech Park, Airoli, Navi Mumbai effective from July 1, 2014.

 

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

India’s macro-economic scenario remained gloomy during the first half of the Financial year 2014. The interest rates remained high resulting in subdued demand and investments, delayed decision-making due to the uncertain political and economic conditions further stalled major infrastructure and power projects. With the National Elections having resulted in a resounding majority to a single political party, general sentiment has since improved substantially and there is considerable hope that the new Government will create an environment conducive to business and industry. Initial steps taken by the Government have been positive, however it will take some time before projects put on hold in the past are cleared and start contributing to the economy.

 

Overall though, the macro-economic situation is still challenging and policy measures taken by the new Government are yet to impact business, the Company registered record growths of 43.6% in sales over previous year on like to like basis. Total sales revenue for the continued business of the Company for the year comprises domestic sales of 7456.000 Million (PY 4759.000 Million) and export sales of 2626.000 Million (PY 2263.000 Million).  In view of rising cost of raw materials and inflation led upsurge in other operating costs, profit before depreciation, interest, exceptional items and tax (PBDIT) is lower as compared to the previous year. After considering the exceptional income including those arising from divestment of leather service business and sale of Kolshet site in the current year and divestment of TPE business in the previous year, the profit after tax (PAT) is higher from 1668.000 Million to 9433.000 Million. The following table exhibits, in summary, the financial performance of the company for the year in relation to the previous year.

 

The Company remains a zero debt company with no long-term borrowings. The credit rating for the Company is reaffirmed CARE AAA’ for long term bank facilities and ‘CARE A1+’ for short term bank facilities. This endorses the confidence on the financial standing of the Company. Short-term bank borrowings are restricted to the need based working capital requirements. In spite of challenging business environment, the net working capital to sales of 17.7% (PY 12.6%) is one of the best in the specialty chemical industry. Net cash flow from operating activities during the year was -596.800 (PY -318.100) Million. Funds surplus to the operational needs have been prudently invested to earn reasonable returns with a high degree of safety. A sum of 10278.700 Million (PY 2670.700 Million) stands invested in fixed deposits with banks and debt schemes of mutual funds at the end of the year.

 

 

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEMS

 

The Company has adequate system of internal controls and risk management. These systems enable integrity of financial reporting and adherence to guidelines defined for the Company. Internal controls are regularly reviewed by both internal and external agencies for its efficiency and effectiveness. Corporate policies, management information and reporting system for key operational areas form part of overall control mechanism. Additionally, in order to supplement the internal control process, the Company has engaged the services of independent firms of professionals to function as internal auditors who are authorized by the audit committee to assess the adequacy and compliance of internal control process and provide their report covering observations and recommendations. The annual internal audit plan is approved by the Company’s Audit Committee and its coverage includes business operations as well as support function activities. The key audit results and recommended management actions are presented to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.

 

 

OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

 

General outlook about the global economy appears to be driven by weak economic conditions in the Eurozone and the slowing of GDP growth in China. With India expected to ‘turn the corner’ on the back of structural reforms, its economy outlook looks to be more positive. India’s economic growth was below 5 per cent in the last two financial years. The Reserve Bank of India forecast the economy to grow at 5.5 per cent in 2014-15 and at 6.3 per cent in next financial year 2015-16. ‘Global Economic Prospects’ released by the World Bank projects India to clock 7% rise in GDP in 2017.

 

Overall, the business sentiment showed moderate improvement in the second half of the financial year 2014 but announcements of major new projects are yet to materialize. The outlook is expected to improve once the new Government takes concrete measures to resolve the coal and iron ore mining issue as well as stalled investments in the power, steel and mining segments. The Government’s ‘Make in India’ campaign aimed at facilitating investment, foster innovation, enhance skill development, protect intellectual property, build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure, curtailment of the discretionary powers of labour inspectors and implementation of a single-window compliance process on labour related issues and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) is expected to accelerate growth in the manufacturing sector and generate new opportunities. Initiatives taken by various industry verticals for modernizing their manufacturing systems may contribute to increase in demand for solutions that improve productivity and efficiency while saving energy consumption. Both trade and fiscal deficit for India is under a course correction. India is also entering a sustained period of low inflation, which will inverse the interest rate trends of last four years. This will also trigger domestic flows into equities. The Industry sector will continue to tap new opportunities in the product business as well as value-added services.

 

Indian manufacturers are looking for the government to simplify export import (EXIM) policies and related documentation, and to facilitate access to low-cost finance for exporters. Rationalisation of the tax structure and implementation of GST will help improve the competitiveness. Modification of land acquisition rules, speedier clearances and licensing, and amendments to labour laws are factors which will facilitate investments by manufacturers in setting up operations of global scale and competitiveness. Some manufacturers were also looking for the government to take a critical look at free trade agreements (FTAs), as the agreements for certain target markets are unfavorable to Indian exporters as compared to other countries. The key to remain competitive in such a scenario is to invest more in R&D activities on a continuous basis. In terms of efficiency and advancement, the domestic chemical industry in India will have to put in concerted efforts to make some prominent headway in the future and to remain competitive.

 

The chemical industry is a very important constituent of the growing Indian economy. In terms of size, Indian chemical sector ranks sixth in the world and third in Asia. It is not only one of the largest industrial sector but also important employment generator. The positive business environment, surging consumer demands, technological up gradation and several other factors have positioned the Indian chemical industry to scale new highs. Percapita consumption of most of the finished products under chemicals sector is far below the world average and this reflects the vast potential for growth in the industry. The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals has undertaken the formulation of the national chemical policy in order to facilitate rapid growth of chemical sector, support inclusive growth and improve employment opportunities. The policy aims to achieve an optimal growth of 10% CAGR over the next 10 years, enhance global competitiveness, create conducive environment to attract large investment, strive towards making India a reliable hub for quality chemicals and also an R & D hub by harnessing trained technical manpower, ensure availability of necessary feedstock and quality infrastructure, leverage significant export potential, facilitate access to latest technologies, focus on green chemicals.

 

The specialty chemical segment is major driver of growth in chemical industry and is expected to grow at ~15 % p.a. The demand for specialty chemicals is driven by a wide range of end user industries. The critical success factors for the industry is its capability to provide product / application development at a favorable price-performance ratio. Compared to developed markets, current usage of specialty chemicals in India is very low and with focus on improving products and usage intensity of specialty chemicals, the industry is poised for strong growth. In order to boost the demand of specialty chemicals in domestic markets, there is need to improve the quality parameters and in house capabilities. Quality standards are important for driving the industry towards higher efficiency and better safety. Developed Regions (Europe, USA) have implemented stringent consumption standards across various end-use markets. India still uses enamel paints with high volatile organic compound (VOC) content. Mandating the usage of water-based paints will help ensure health and safety of consumers and encourage the consumption of higher cost water based paints. This will result in consumption-led growth in key end markets over the next decade and an increased need for better products and services. It is imperative to look at ways to enhance the performance of products and services in sustainable manner. Higher efficiency has direct impact on energy, resource utilization and conservation. Industries need to address the emerging trends in user industry which require development of unique environment friendly local products / solutions based on an understanding of Indian customers. Innovation and sustainability initiatives are expected to be major factors for domestic and global competitiveness. Development of processes products which eliminate or reduce the use of hazardous substances could become the key priority of producers. Consumers would be expected to pay premium for green chemistry and environmental preservation initiatives. Moreover, stringent regulatory norms could further push the need to innovate cost effective green chemicals. This is critical for companies supplying to the whole spectrum of end user industries and offer opportunities to innovate and move up the value chain and compete effectively with global players both in the domestic and export markets and bring the Indian specialty chemical industry on the global map while meeting the needs of enhanced quality of life for growing affluent population of India. Availability of large pool of technical man-power, scientists and researchers offers immense potential for investment as well as employment generation in specialty chemical industry.

 

The domestic specialty chemical industry also face challenges related to feedstock availability, higher operational costs, outdated technology / process, limited investment in R&D & a negative perception amongst end consumers. Apart from depending on regulatory interventions, Indian players should come together and pro-actively work towards collaborative investment to avert global competition.
