Century Enka Ltd Management Discussions

<dhhead>MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT</dhhead>

1. OVERALL REVIEW

The year 2023-24 was a year of hope and challenges for the Company. The Company completed its ambitious expansion and diversification CAPEX. While the Indian GDP, as per RBI’s estimates, grew at 7.6% in FY24, demand for the Company’s product remain subdued for various reasons. Elevated interest rates, slowdown in discretionary spends, below par monsoon, lower exports due to global uncertainties like continued war between Russia and Ukraine, Palestine-Israel conflict, Red Sea crises, higher ocean freight rates, impacted the demand for the Company’s products. Excess capacities in China, led to significant dumping and volatility in the prices of raw material and finished goods. However, easing of inflation, expected normal monsoon, pick-up in infrastructural activity post general elections points towards better demand in next financial year.

2. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, DEVELOPMENT, THREATS, OPPORTUNITIES & OUTLOOK

Industry Status

The Company manufactures Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric (NTCF) and Nylon Filament Yarn (NFY) in the synthetic yarn segment of the textile industry.

Nylon Tyre Cord Fabric (NTCF)

NTCF is used as reinforcement material in Bias/Cross ply tyres, which are primarily used in trucks, bus, two-three wheelers, and off-the-road (OTR) vehicles used for mining, forestry, farming, heavy earth moving etc.

The Indian Tyre Industry is set on a growth trajectory following the momentum in the automotive sector. The pace of growth has been further augmented by the cross-border strides made by the Indian tyre manufacturers. Indian tyre brands have created a mark in the European and, more recently, in the US markets. However, the volatile global geopolitical situation has slowed the pace of growth. In the domestic market, the infrastructure growth, and incentives from Government on EVs is expected to provide added impetus to the industry. OTR & Farm has shown promising potential aided by modernization and overall economic growth. Increasing exports of automobiles particularly two wheelers also augers well for tyre demand.

However, radialisation in Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (MHCV) has outpaced projections supported by continual improvement in road infrastructure and increased consumer awareness. Nevertheless, the last mile connectivity in the hinterlands through Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV), expected growth in demand for two-wheelers & OTR segment are pegged to sustain the market for Bias tyres.

Nylon Filament Yarn (NFY)

The Nylon Filament Yarn industry in India is expected to grow at 6-7% in medium term. The demand for Nylon Filament Yarn in India is driven by various factors, including the growth of the textile industry, imports substitution for technical textiles and Defense fabrics, increasing demand for ethnic wear and rising popularity of athleisure and sportswear.

The Indian government’s Make in India campaign, which aims to promote domestic manufacturing, is also expected to drive the growth of the textile industry and the demand for nylon filament yarn in the country. The Indian market for athleisure and sportswear is growing rapidly, and nylon filament yarn is commonly used in the production of high-performance fabrics used in these applications. Draw textured nylon yarn (DTY) type would be the fastest growing segment in the Nylon 6 Filament Yarn market as it possesses the properties of both natural and synthetic fiber like high durability and high retention. Draw textured nylon yarn finds its application in sportswear, backpack, weaving fabric for clothes, lingerie, laces, home furnishings, and many others. Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region in the nylon 6 filament yarn market.

However, the Indian nylon filament yarn industry also faces challenges, including fluctuating raw material prices, increasing competition from other synthetic fibers, and dependence on China for raw material. China has built-up significant over capacity in Nylon Filament Yarn and the Industry faces stiff competition from dumping by China in absence of any duty protection. Overall, while the Indian nylon filament yarn industry is expected to experience moderate growth in the coming years. The industry needs to focus on meeting changing consumer preferences for profitable growth.

Company Performance

In FY24, the performance of the Company was impacted by lower demand and pressure on margin. China, which is the major Nylon producer, witnessed lower demand and margin in Nylon value chain, leading to continued dumping by China at unremunerative prices. Higher variable costs, particularly high electricity rates, further exerted pressure on the margin. Demand for NTCF was also impacted due to lower exports and lower demand for farm tyres on account of below par monsoon. These factors cumulatively impacted the Earnings before interest, depreciation, and tax (EBIDTA). EBIDTA was down by 28% to Rs116 Crs. in FY 24 against Rs161 Crs in FY23.

Company Outlook

Easing inflation and expected normal monsoon are expected to boost rural demand leading to better two-wheeler and farm tyres demand and increase in discretionary spends. These augers well for demand of both NTCF and NFY.

The Company has successfully commissioned spinning capacities for Polyester High Modulus Low Shrinkage (HMLS) yarn in Mar’24 and will start process of approval for Polyester Tyre Cord Fabric (PTCF). Also, during the year, the Company started receiving electricity from its Group Captive Hybrid Power facility for its Bharuch plant. This has helped in reducing electricity costs. Significant Capex to increase NTCF capacity and diversification in PTCF along with new capacities of value-added products, modernization of the plants and augmented capacities will help the Company in delivering superior results.

Based on the green shoots visible and initiatives undertaken, the Company is cautiously optimistic of the medium-term outlook.
