Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1945 and it is a largest paint company in India. About 80% of the company’s revenue comes from the decorative paints segment and the remaining from the industrial paints segment and overseas segment.

 

It is a manufacturer, seller and distributor of Paints, Coatings, products related to Home Décor, Bath Fittings and providing of related services.

 

As per the financial record of 2017, the revenue of the company has increased by 7.95% along with along with fair profit margin of 12.30%.

 

The robust financial profile of the company marked by healthy networth base along with strong debt coverage indicators due to low debt balance sheet profile.

 

The company has its share price trading at round INR 1101.25 against the face value (FV) of INR 01 on BSE as 28th February, 2018.

 

The rating takes into consideration the subject’s long track record of business operations along with extensive experience of its promoters. 

 

Rating continue to reflect company’s leadership position in the domestic paints sector.

 

However, these strength are partially offset by susceptibility of profitability to volatility in raw material prices in the industrial paint segment and unfavourable gap between trade payables and trade receivables.

 

Business is active. Payments seems to be regular.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered for good business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

The assistance carried an interest @ 6% p.a. and was repayable over a period of nine years including a moratorium of three years on the principal amount, starting from the date of first disbursement. During the year 2014-15, the Company received INR 0.06 crores as per the schedule of disbursement and no amounts were repayable during the next one year. During the year 2016-17, the loan was repaid on 26th September, 2016.

 

# Interest free loan from The Pradeshiya Industrial Corporation of U.P. Limited (PICUP) under Sales Tax Deferment Scheme of Government of Uttar Pradesh was secured by a first charge on the Company’s immovable properties of the paint plant at Kasna and by way of hypothecation of all movable properties at the above location. This interest free loan had a deferment period of 10 years and was repayable in 9 yearly installments starting from May, 2007 as per repayment schedule. Out of the total loan of INR 306.000 Million, the Company had already repaid INR 273.600 Million till 31st March, 2015 and the balance amount of INR 32.400 Million was paid during the previous year by 31st May, 2015. Pursuant to the repayment of loan, the charge on Company’s immovable properties was released.

 

## The Company is eligible to avail interest free loan in respect of 50% of VAT paid within Haryana on the sale of goods produced at Rohtak plant for a period of 7 financial years beginning from April, 2010. For the year ended 31st March, 2011, 31st March, 2012 and 31st March, 2013, the Company has already received the interest free loan of INR 34.100 Million, INR 59.000 Million and INR 78.900 Million respectively. Loan of INR 78.900 Million received during the current year and INR 59.000 Million received during the last year (after the date of transition to Ind AS) are recognised at fair value using prevailing market interest rates for an equivalent loan. The fair value of loans received in 2016-17 and 2015-16 is estimated at INR 48.400 Million and INR 36.200 Million, respectively, on initial recognition. The difference between the gross proceeds and fair value of the loan is the benefit derived from the interest free loan and is recognised as deferred income (Refer Note 19(b)). Loan as at 1st April, 2015 (date of transition to Ind As) is carried at historical cost (Refer point 5 under Exemptions availed under Note 31). This loan is secured by way of a bank guarantee issued by the Company and is repayable after a period of 5 years from the date of receipt of interest free loan. For the year ended 31st March, 2014, 31st March, 2015 and 31st March, 2016, the Company had made the necessary application to the Haryana Government for the issue of eligibility certificate and for the year ended 31st March, 2017, the Company is in the process of making the necessary application.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

 

The financial year 2016-17 has been a year marked with both excitement and challenges for the global as well as the Indian economy. Some of the events that took place during the course of this year could very well turn out to be the defining moments for the world economy at large. The sheer scale and swiftness with which the Indian Government demonetised almost 86% of the currency notes in circulation in November 2016 is one such event. Coming at a time when the Indian economy was just beginning to look up on the back of positive sentiments from private consumption and normal monsoon, the cash shortage and payment disruptions caused by demonetisation, strained the consumption and business activity for a major part of the second half of the year. Consequently, GDP growth for the year is expected to be almost 1% lower at 6.7% than that in the previous year. Capital investments still remain stagnant with an overhang of spare capacity in many industries and corporate balance sheets still remain stretched hindering their ability to invest on any future uptick in demand. Merchandise exports continued to contract, partly as a result of the lower commodity prices as well as due to the weak global demand.

 

On the fiscal front, the position is expected to be much better with the Government expected to meet its fiscal deficit target at 3.5% of GDP and the current account deficit narrowing down further to about 1.1% of GDP. Inflation, though inching up in the last few months, also stayed below the RBI’s target of 5%, leading to an accommodative monetary policy for most part of the year. The Indian rupee stayed relatively stable this year, trading in a range of 66-67 to USD for most part of the year before seeing a sharp appreciation during the close of the financial year.

 

It was also encouraging to see the Government move ahead on clearing the legislative hurdles for the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), touted as the biggest tax reform for the country. All indications now suggest that GST should get implemented in the second quarter of the financial year and although uncertainties remain around the design as well as readiness of the entire economy to implement this structural change, is poised to provide a fillip to India’s economic growth as it will create a single national market and enhance the efficiency of inter-state movement of goods and services apart from moving a large part of the informal sector within the formal set-up of the economy.

 

On the global front, two key events have led to a lot of uncertainty and spurt in volatility across markets. In June 2016, UK voted to leave the European Union leading to an immediate ratings downgrade and financial market volatility. The financial markets have seemingly factored in this event but the impending round of trade negotiations between UK and the European Union, point to a tough road ahead. The November 2016 US election outcome was also a major surprise and led to a lot of capital flight away from the emerging markets, including India, on the hopes of strong pro-US growth policy rollouts from the new Government. The challenges faced in the initial roll-out of some of this agenda by the new administration, point to a difficult and tumultuous road ahead which will have implications not just for the US economy but the entire global set-up.

 

 

DECORATIVE INDIA BUSINESS

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The year witnessed an unprecedented move of demonetization by the government, right after the festive season got over. The Company managed to register good growth during the year despite this unexpected move. There was a strong focus during the year on the product mix and a lot of new products across categories were launched. All the new categories and new products launched during the last couple of years have done extremely well during financial year 2016-17.

 

Key categories of luxury and premium emulsions have done well during the year. The Company carried out systematic breakthrough programmes to introduce innovation and as a result, launched 3 new revolutionary products - ‘Tractor Aqualock’, ‘Truegrip Ultra Adhesive’ and ‘Dampsheath Exterior’. In the interiors category, national launch of ‘Royale Atmos’ created an opportunity for the Company to be the first mover in this segment and build differentiation and innovation for ‘Royale’. The Sheen variant of ‘Tractor Emulsion’ was launched in September and was well received in the market.

 

The Company’s focus on performance has led the growth in the exteriors segment over the last couple of years. The focus on décor has added a new dimension to the overall offering, making the Company’s products in the exterior segment much more aspirational. The ‘Earth series’ inspired by nature and the ‘Geometrix’ collection with geometricshaped designs were launched during the year. On the back of comprehensive brand building marketing initiatives across regions and new TVC, ‘Ultima Protek’ is now clearly seen as the best waterproofing exterior product and continues to grow and increase market share. The ‘Baarish Ko Aane Do’ campaign featuring actor Ranbir Kapoor strengthened the positioning further. Strengthening the ‘Ultima’ brand further, the Company launched ‘Ultima Protek Duralife’. It is the only painting system in the world to offer fifteen and ten years’ warranty on performance and waterproofing, respectively.

 

The Company made a foray into waterproofing a couple of years back. Taking the category forward, this year, the Company introduced warranty on key waterproofing products, which is a key differentiator in the waterproofing market. ‘Damp Block 2K’ and ‘Damp Sheath’ range was launched during the year and both can be key game changers in the coming years. For Projects, specialised products including a full range of repair products were launched, which has opened a significant market for the Company to address.

 

Amongst the new categories launched recently, the Company made decent inroads in the rollers segment of the tools business. Mechanised range of tools were launched across markets.

 

The Company is focussed towards driving growth in the luxury wood finishes space. All products in this segment have done well with ‘Emporio’, ‘PU-Palette’ and ‘APPU’ driving the growth story.

 

The Company’s dedicated Projects vertical, Asian Paints Project Sales registered a very good performance during the year with all regions of the country doing equally well. All major sub-segments within projects did well, led by Government and Housing Societies. The largest within projects, builders also did well despite the sluggish demand conditions.

 

Asian Paints Ezycolour Home Solutions (APEHS) is the painting arm of the Company. While large units of APEHS located in major cities did well, growth was lower in some of the smaller units. Launch of variants like waterproofing solutions, wood solutions and Ezycolour Pro solutions for architects and interior designers helped in strengthening the positioning of APEHS.

 

During the year, the Company has added a large number of Colour Worlds, extending the coverage further to smaller towns across the country. The new high-end ‘Colour Ideas store’ have been extended across more than 150 cities offering consumer a number of décor choices for their homes. The Company launched a flagship ‘AP Homes’ stores at Coimbatore last year. The concept is being scaled up with more stores coming in North and South India in the next year.

 

 ‘Colour Next’ is the Company’s proprietory colour research initiative that helps to establish the Company as a colour leader. Colour Next 2017 and Colour of the year – Intense Ocean were launched at the India Design Week in Delhi. The Company leads with the vision of being the forerunner of inspiring décor and partnering with consumers in transforming their living spaces. A new TVC Campaign ‘Colour Expert’ was launched in August 2016 to this effect to drive awareness around this vision as well as promote the Colour Consulting Service offered by the Company. We have crossed more than 2.5 lakh consultancies during the year through this channel.

 

The Company is focussed around the usage of the digital medium of marketing. The new website was launched in April 2016. It was followed by a Hindi website in the month of October 2016. ‘Colour Visualiser’ too was launched in September 2016 and has met with a very positive response. The Company ran a dedicated digital calendar this year with more than 40 digital campaigns during the year. The Company understands that décor enthusiasts across our key consumer segments are looking for inspiration and hence www.beautifulhomes.com was launched in October 2016 as an online décor magazine. The website will feature inspirational Indian homes and workspaces, practical décor tips, accessible design ideas and DIY guides.

 

Supply Chain

 

The Company completed the expansion project at its Rohtak plant during the last year. Post the expansion, the capacity at Rohtak has been taken to 4,00,000 KL per annum now. Operations at the plant were stabilised quickly during the year and the plant capacity is being ramped up now.

 

The Company is also working on two greenfield paint manufacturing facilities at Mysuru and Vishakhapatnam (Vizag). The maximum capacity at Mysuru will be 6,00,000 KL per annum installed in phases. The maximum capacity at Vizag will reach 5,00,000 KL per annum installed in phases. The Company would be investing approximately INR 23000.000 Million at Mysuru and INR 17850.000 Million at Vizag to reach these capacities. Both the projects are on track to achieve the capacity of 3,00,000 KL per annum each in the first phase.

 

The Company is also in the process of seeking statutory approvals for expanding the paint production capacity at Ankleshwar from 1,30,000 KL per annum to 3,00,000 KL per annum and augment the resin and emulsion capacity from 32,000 MT per annum to 85,000 MT per annum. The aforesaid expansion and augmentation would involve phasing out the current Phthalic Anhydride and its allied products manufactured at this facility.

 

During the year investments were made in plants to expand infrastructure for receiving powder raw materials in bulk form.

 

It would reduce usage of packaging material and lead to better hygiene due to reduced dust generation during handling. Anticipating customer demand and ensuring timely servicing is one of the key strengths of the Company. During the last year, projects were undertaken to implement advanced IT tools to further improve on statistical forecasting and drive high forecast accuracy to ensure better planning around demand and supply to improve servicing in the eastern parts of the country, a new distribution centre was modelled and implemented in the region.

 

INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

 

The international operations of the Company are spread across geographies. Some of the key markets faced challenging business conditions due to the subdued economic environment in those countries. However, most of the International units managed to tide over the challenges and delivered strong performance. Egypt, which is the largest International unit of the Company, faced a volatile year due to a severe foreign exchange shortage in the country. To tide over this crisis, the Egyptian government embarked upon several fiscal reforms during the year, one of them being the sharp devaluation of its currency. This had significant impact on the economy as raw material prices and inflation soared. Despite all these challenges, Egypt posted robust performance by taking required measures. Post devaluation, Egyptian dollar is now a free floating currency and after an initial period of instability, investor confidence has improved, reflected by the improvement in forex reserves, which have gone up from a low of USD 16 Billion to around USD 28 Billion.

 

Ethiopia faced a challenging start due to drought and political tensions in the country. State of emergency was declared in the country in October 2016 after anti-government protests. This impacted forex availability and led to decrease in foreign investments. Despite the uncertainty from the political fallout, the International Monetary Fund is upbeat about the future prospects of the economy.

 

The Company’s operations in South Asia registered strong growth led by the performance in Nepal. Post-earthquake, reconstruction and favourable monsoon has aided growth in the country. Bangladesh faced adverse conditions in the first half of the year but bounced back on the back of good growth in agriculture sector and robustness in the all-important garment sector.

 

Middle East is going through a slowdown as oil prices remain low. Oman witnessed a downturn in the economy, with the GDP declining for the second year in succession. The government was under pressure to maximise revenues and curb expenditure to prevent fiscal deficit from getting out of control. Inflation peaked in Bahrain in 2016 as the Government took some aggressive measures such as increasing prices of petrol, water, electricity and reducing subsidies. This along with the reduction in oil prices dampened market sentiments. Despite the slowdown, both the units of Oman and Bahrain did well in a subdued market on the back of improved servicing and right product mix. United Arab Emirates (UAE) witnessed a slowdown in economic growth. GDP growth in UAE was subdued down on the back of slowdown in the oil economy. Even the non-oil sector was subdued, as the strength of the currency affected corporate competitiveness as well as the tourism sector.

 

Macro environment in Caribbean countries were mixed. Domestic demand in Jamaica was better during the year due to a more stable and business-friendly macro-economic environment, falling unemployment and stronger investment growth. Trinidad and Tobago’s economy was caught up in a recession spiral with GDP most likely contracting for the third consecutive year.

 

Fiji was hit by cyclone Winston in the month of February 2016. The government was quick in the reconstruction efforts and the economy witnessed strong reconstruction demand. Paint market did well on the back of subsidy given by the government.

 

Berger International Private Limited, Singapore (BIPL), through its subsidiary company acquired land for setting up a manufacturing facility in Indonesia during the last year. Construction for an interim facility of 5,000 KL per annum started in August, 2016 and is nearing completion. Meanwhile, commercial operations were started through tie-ups with business partners.

 

The work on consolidating all the operating subsidiaries under a single overseas holding company was initiated last year. Phase I of this exercise got completed this year with the transfer of Asian Paints (Lanka) Limited to BIPL. Consequently, Phase II of the exercise of merging Asian Paints International Limited, Mauritius, with the parent company, Asian Paints Limited, was initiated. The Company is in the process of completing all formalities and obtaining all clearances in respect of the same.

 

The Company strengthened its international footprint by acquiring 100% stake in Causeway Paints Lanka (Private) Limited (Causeway), Sri Lanka through its wholly-owned subsidiary Berger International Private Limited, Singapore. Causeway is a key player in the Sri Lankan coatings market and has been operating for more than two decades in the country.

 

Against the backdrop of an overall difficult market condition, the international operations have delivered a good performance driven by strong volume growth and operational efficiencies.

 

 

HOME IMPROVEMENT BUSINESS

 

With the vision of being a complete décor solutions provider to help customers create their dream homes, the Company forayed in the Home Improvement business 3 (three) years back. The Company is present in the Kitchen and the Bath business under the Home Improvement segment.

 

 

 

 

Kitchen Business

 

Sleek today enjoys the exclusivity of being the only player in the Kitchen space that is into both ‘Kitchen Components’ and ‘Full Kitchen Solutions’. It operates the same through a network of distributors, dealers and retail stores.

 

During the year, the component segment grew well. Growth was impacted in the November to January period due to demonetisation. New products such as “Tuff Advance” soft close drawer systems, appliances, and hardware such as hinges & channels have driven growth in the segment. More than 1,000 sub-dealers were added to the network. The network today stands at around 3,200 sub-dealers.

 

For the Full Kitchen solutions, priority was placed on addition of Full Support Dealers. 40 Full Support Dealers were added this year taking the total network to 117 now. The support of well-trained at store Sleek designers, supervisors and Design and Operations Managers has helped in increasing kitchen bookings from these dealers. During the year, focus was on improving efficiency, reducing errors, reducing closure timelines and implementing ‘Design to Manufacture’ (D2M) software. Sleek also forayed into wardrobes on a pilot basis during the year. The response on this range has been encouraging.

 

Conversion of Project orders was slower than expected due to a weak real estate market in the second half of the financial year. However, the Projects and AID (Architects and Interior Designers) division was able to shore up the order book quite well, which has created the foundation for better sales in this segment in 2018.

 

While, many initiatives were driven throughout the year to improve the position and performance of the business, the pace of growth has been slower as compared to the expectation, partially dented due to demonetisation and slowdown in real estate and construction arena

 

Bath Business

 

During the year, there was a strong focus on driving improvements in manufacturing, logistics and service and sales and marketing in the bath fittings business. The Company has worked on improving material service to the network. Additionally, there is thrust on adding new network as well as adding more showrooms to the existing areas. The aforesaid enhancement will also aid expansion of the network for the Royale range of bath fittings. The Company has made progress in improving the manufacturing facility throughout in accordance with the LEAN-KAIZEN approach.

 

During the year, the Company has followed a twin-pronged strategy to promote the premium range. While D-Series, Dune and Tarim ranges of the portfolio were driving the upgradation effort in the larger part of the network, Royale range (launched in January, 2016) created a new product story at the upper end. Both have been successful in creation of effective selling points.

 

At a country level, growth was led mainly through the new dealers added in the recent years. Inflation in prices of key commodities like zinc and copper affected margins especially towards the end of the year. The Sanitaryware range launched in March, 2016 was further piloted in select counters during the year.

 

 

INDUSTRIAL BUSINESS

 

Automotive Coatings: PPG Asian Paints Private Limited (PPG-AP)

 

PPG-AP, the first 50:50 Joint Venture of the Company with PPG Industries Inc., USA for manufacturing Automotive, OEM, Refinish, Marine, Packaging and certain Industrial Coatings, has performed well during the year.

 

Growth in the business was driven by the passenger vehicle and 2-wheeler build market which grew at 7.9% each accompanied by some contraction in the market of the Japanese suppliers. This along with key wins led the top line growth for Automotive, General Industrial and Refinish segments. Growth in Marine and Packaging segments was subdued.

 

On the capacity front, the Company is working on setting up a plant in Dahej and the project is under execution currently. Parallely, Packaging cell was commissioned during the year at Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu. During the year, margins improved due to favourable material cost helped by better sourcing and localisation strategies.

 

 

Non-Auto Industrial Coatings: Asian Paints PPG Private Limited (AP-PPG)

 

AP-PPG serves the non-auto industrial coatings market of the country and is the Company’s second 50:50 joint venture withPPG Industries Inc., USA.

 

Industrial segment growth was driven by continued focus on dealer channel, Maintenance and Repairs (M&R) segment and OEM segment. The Company successfully strengthened the dealer base in North and West markets, establishing gains in key competitive counters, in the Protective Coatings business. The significant increase in customer base in Pre-Engineered Building has helped maintain leadership in metro infrastructure projects. Some segments within OEMs witnessed strong demand due to stricter implementation of safety norms.

 

While Road markings segment registered decent growth due to several large projects won, the growth of powder business was dampened by slowdown in overall manufacturing industry especially in second half of the year. Demand condition in Furniture, Genset, Architectural segment, Auto and Job coater segment was better during the year.

 

Overall, AP-PPG registered strong growth both in terms of revenues as well as profitability during the year. Profitability improved mainly due to lower raw material costs.

 

Phthalic and Penta

 

The Company’s two chemical businesses, Phthalic Anhydride, manufactured at Ankleshwar, Gujarat and Pentaerythritol, manufactured at Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, were set up as backward integration initiatives in the eighties, primarily to cater to the inhouse demand for these chemicals.

 

Phthalic Plant has achieved a new milestone, a world record of 490 days of continuous uninterrupted operations. Phthalic Plant was also awarded a Certificate of Merit for Cleaner Production by Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of Gujarat. Raw material prices remained favourable throughout the year and aided margins in this business.

 

Prices of Pentaerythritol remained firm throughout the year. Plant continued to export its Di-Penta production and earned valuable foreign exchange. Penta Plant was awarded Certificate of Merit for safety performance by the Tamil Nadu Chapter of Confederation of Indian Industry.

 

 

OUTLOOK AND RISKS

 

On the domestic front, the financial year 2017-18 has started on a positive note with the progress seen on implementation of the GST regime from the second quarter of the year. While over the long-term it is expected to give a strong fillip to the economic activity with rationalisation of the market place and also boost competitiveness of the industry, it is bound to have disruptions in the short term.

 

The impact of demonetisation felt over the last two quarters of the previous financial year is expected to fade out and the last few quarters and coupled with any adverse demand conditions, this could lead to a squeeze on the margins of the industry.

 

On the international front, a gradual pick-up in crude prices is expected. Despite the challenge of volatile currency, Egypt is expected to gradually benefit from the improved competitiveness and return of foreign investments to the market. However, the recent imposition of emergency in Egypt along with the continued challenges on foreign exchange availability make the business conditions uncertain. The retail sentiment in Gulf region – Oman, Bahrain and UAE is projected to remain dampened due to the not-so-favourable government reforms on consumption tax. Political stability in the two key markets of Bangladesh and Nepal would be key to sustained performance in these markets.

 

The home improvement segment has been drawing lessons from its experience in an industry where several domestic and international brands are vying for space. The Company continues to adapt based on its market learnings, enhance its capabilities and reach to strengthen its position in the market. Despite the near-term challenges in this business, the Company remains confident about the growth prospects for this business over the long term.

 

The India story stands at a very interesting juncture today. There are heightened hopes around the growth prospects of the economy with the Government pushing forward its reform agenda. The Government has placed a clear focus on areas like smart cities, clean India and sanitation, which has a bearing on the products and markets that the Company operates in. The Company has consistently invested in building capabilities to meet the requirements of the consumers and the market. The Company’s enviable strengths and the opportunities that the market can offer, place the Company in a unique position to deliver sustainable long-term performance over the years to come.

PRESS RELEASE

 

ASIAN PAINTS ACQUIRES 100% STAKE IN RENO CHEMICALS FOR INR 1600.000 MILLION

 

December 14, 2017

 

India’s largest paints company, Asian Paints Limited (APNT), announced acquisition of 100% stake in Reno Chemicals Pharmaceuticals And Cosmetics Private Limited (Reno) for a cash consideration of INR 1595.200 Million. This was announced to the stock exchanges on December 12, 2017.


APNT is India’s largest and Asia’s fourth largest paints company with more than 50% market share in India. The company operates in 16 countries and has 25 paint manufacturing facilities in the world.


APNT bought 4,950 equity shares of Reno at INR 3,22,258 per share totalling INR 1595.200 Million. The purchase entailed 100% equity share capital of Reno and was done in cash. APNT plans to use Reno’s land and buildings to meet its own infrastructure requirements.


APNT has been on a buying spree in 2017. Its other acquisitions this year include Sleek International Private Limited (49% stake for INR 500.000 Million in December 2017) and Sri Lanka’s Causeway Paints Lanks Private Limited (100% stake for cash consideration of Rs387cr).


To cater to the rising demand, company is planning to set up 5,00,000 KL plant in AP and 6,00,000 KL plant in Karnataka. The first phase of both the plants are likely to be completed by FY19E. Post GST implementation, lower tax advantage for unorganised players will diminish, which is expected to benefit organised players like Asian Paints. Also, its decorative paints segment (89% of revenue) is expected to grow at ~14% CAGR till FY20E. Overall, we see revenue CAGR of ~14% over FY17-19E (vs 4% over FY15-17). Further, the company expects raw material prices (mainly monomer) to moderate in coming years. Thereby, we expect EBITDA margin to improve by ~50 bps to 20% over FY17-19E. We expect company to maintain FY17 D/E of 0.1x in FY19E as well.  Overall, we see PAT CAGR of ~14% over FY17-19E.


Asian Paints Limited is currently trading at INR 1,120.8, up by INR 4.25 or 0.38% from its previous closing of INR 1,116.55 on the BSE.


The scrip opened at INR 1,117.1 and has touched a high and low of INR 1,126 and INR 1,117.1 respectively. So far 139247(NSE+BSE) shares were traded on the counter. The current market cap of the company is INR 1070992.300 Million.
