The Total Dividend outgo including the Dividend Distribution Tax amounted to H85.95 crores. The Board has recommended that the interim dividend declared by it be considered as the final dividend for the financial year ended 31st March 2020.

BUYBACK OF EQUITY SHARES

Encouraged by the financial performance and healthy cash position, the Board has approved Buyback by the Company of its Equity Shares through the open market route from the Stock Exchanges. This is done with the objective of returning surplus funds to shareholders, improving return on equity, optimising capital structure and improving earnings per share, thereby leading to long term increase in shareholders value. The maximum amount approved is H100 crores (Maximum Buyback size) at a maximum price of H130 per Equity Share (Maximum Buyback price). The Maximum Buyback Size will represent 5.67% and 5.71% of the aggregate of the total paid-up Equity Share capital and Free Reserves (including Securities Premium Account) of the Company based on the standalone and consolidated audited financial statements of the Company as on 31st March, 2019, respectively, the date reckoned for calculating eligible amounts.

At the Maximum Buyback Price and for the Maximum Buyback Size, the indicative maximum number of Equity Shares bought back would be 76,92,307 ("Maximum Buyback Shares") which is 4.32% of the total number of fully paid-up Equity Shares of the Company. If the Equity Shares are bought back at a price below the Maximum Buyback Price, the actual number of Equity Shares bought back could exceed the indicative Maximum Buyback Shares.

RESERVES AND APPROPRIATIONS

The amount available for appropriation, including surplus from the year stood at H1243.39 crores. The Directors propose this to be appropriated as under: Rs. in crores (10 million)

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Your Company recorded its best ever financial performance with its highest ever EBIDTA at H984.96 crores (an increase of 6% over previous financial year). Profit Before Tax at H718.59 crores was higher by 6% and Profit After Tax was H492.71 crores higher by 13% over previous financial year. Gross Sales were H3254.20 crores and capacity utilization during the financial year ended 31st March 2020 was 111% despite COVID-19 interruptions during the close of the said financial year.

The better performance was possible due to higher capacity utilization, lower raw material and other input cost and improved operating efficiencies. JK Paper continued its thrust on expanding geographical reach and availability of its products by strengthening the distribution network and responding to market needs by introducing new products. The Companys efforts at promoting plantation activity in the vicinity of its manufacturing units resulted in a greater proportion of raw material requirement being met out of material sourced from shorter distances. This has cut down the total delivered cost of wood at our units. Both the Units (Unit JKPM and Unit CPM of the Company) continued to improve their operating efficiencies to optimize utilization of most inputs. The Companys operating performance ranks among the best in the domestic paper industry.

Lower debt and more efficient working capital management enabled the Company to maintain finance costs despite making investments in the new project and funding the acquisition of The Sirpur Paper Mills Ltd. during the previous financial year. Despite an increase in Depreciation from H125.30 crores to H143.56 crores, Profit Before Tax stood at H718.59 crores compared to H678.35 crores last year, showing an increase of 6%.

The Industry scenario both domestic and overseas, the market and demand supply balance and other operating conditions are elaborated in the Management Discussion and Analysis section, forming part of this Annual Report.

COVID-19 AND OUTLOOK FOR FY 2020-21

Due to outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the Company had to temporarily suspend operations at both its manufacturing facilities - Unit CPM at Fort Songadh, Gujarat and Unit JKPM at Rayagada, Odisha in the last week of March 2020 in compliance with the directives of the Central and respective State Governments. Operations had been resumed in the third week of April 2020 at both its Units. However, the operations continue to be impacted by difficulty in procurement of raw materials, logistic issues both for procuring raw materials and despatch of finished products, non-opening of markets. Due to prevailing uncertainty, the financial and operational impact of COVID-19 is being evaluated by the Company. The Company has put in place "Standard Operating Procedure" (SOP), as per the guidelines and directives of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Health, to safeguard against spread of COVID-19. The Company has organized campaigns to bring awareness amongst all employees and workers on safeguards against COVID-19. Thermal temperature measurements at the entry and exit gates, mandatory use of face masks, hand washing and sanitizing facilities at entry and exit and at different locations of the plant have been put in place along with strict ban on non-essential visitors. Safeguards for social distancing at work place is also being implemented. Meetings, gatherings, travelling etc. are being avoided with focus on video conferencing and other digital modes.

The outlook for FY 2020-21 is heavily influenced by the impact of COVID-19 and the uncertain time it might take the economy and paper markets to come back to normalcy. Much will depend upon the time by which the COVID-19 disease is tamed and the economy gets back on its feet. Some sectors are faced with liquidity issues and some with solvency issues and several key sectors with both. While RBI has announced several high promise measures, the percolation of these measures seem rather tepid given the risk awareness of key lenders – Banks and NBFCs. The expected but delayed stimulus package for industrial and economic revival will have a great bearing on the quality and speed of revival.

Based on the order flow and dispatches after recommencement of operations, feedback from key market players and convertors operations are expected to get back to normalcy only by third quarter of FY 2020-21. The Company is actively looking at exports besides expanding its product basket even those with lesser margins to operate the machines at optimal levels. With these the plants are expected to reach full productive capacity by the second quarter of FY 2020-21. Within its product basket, packaging board segment is experiencing good demand due to higher demand from pharma, food processing and FMCGs.

The Company believes that it can manage the extreme event with its cash balances, liquid investments and undrawn bank limits.

PROJECT EXPANSION

The Company commenced Virgin Fibre Boards (VFB) production in the financial year 2007-08 with an initial capacity of 60,000 TPA at its Unit CPM which was enhanced to 90,000 TPA in the financial year 2013-14. The current production from this facility exceeds 100,000 TPA. This segment has grown at 12% CAGR during the last 5 years and is expected to maintain its growth at double digit rates in the coming years due to changes in organised retail and the quest for more eco-friendly, aesthetic and customer friendly packaging. Looking at this growing demand particularly in the high end VFB and to build its market share, the Company had decided to set up a new Packaging Board facility along with an integrated chemical pulp mill at Unit CPM. Orders for critical equipments and some other areas have been placed and civil construction started in November 2019. The estimated capital cost is about H1935 crores (net of GST). Once completed the capacity for VFB will increase to 270,000 TPA along with a pulping capacity of 160,000 TPA. The new project is likely to take 24 months from zero date to commence production. Post completion of this project the JK Paper will be the second largest producer of VFB in the country with the capacity of 270,000 TPA along with a pulping capacity of 160,000 TPA.

The Company also made several de-bottlenecking and cost optimising investments in critical areas like head box, steam and power systems, finishing equipment, refiners, chemical processing, effluent discharge etc. in its existing facilities during the year totalling over H79 crores.

PROGRESS AT THE SIRPUR PAPER MILLS LTD.

During the previous financial year 2018-19, the Company alongwith its subsidiary had acquired The Sirpur Paper Mills Ltd. (SPML) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC/Code). Your Company was one of the earliest successful applicant under the then newly enacted Code. The Resolution Plan of the Company was approved by the Honble National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Hyderabad Bench on 19th July 2018. The Company after settling the debts of the financial and operating creditors as ordered by the NCLT, took over SPML and started revival activities w.e.f. 1st August 2018. The acquisition was expected to provide synergies of a strategically located 3rd site near to sources of raw material with closer access to Coal and plenty of water. SPML commenced its commercial production on 24th May 2019 on Machine 7 alongwith Boilers and Turbines. After some challenges in stabilising operations all the machines (including Machines 3, 8, and 6 alongwith all allied equipment) commenced commercial production on 1st March 2020 after due refurbishment. There was an additional investment of H210 crores compared to earlier estimates which were met from funds lent by the Company.

Before the COVID-19 lockdown, SPML had ramped up its production and achieved highest production of 286 tons from the Pulp Mill (against a rated capacity of 323 tpd) and 320 tons (rated capacity of 400 tpd) from the Paper Machines. In the month of March, 2020 (up to 21st March, before COVID-19 lockdown) the Company achieved about 70% of the capacity based on actual number of working days. Progress is also being made on improving the quality parameters of the final products to meet customer requirements and expectations. In second phase, the project activities for setting up energy efficient 130 Ton per hour high pressure Boiler and 20 MW high pressure Turbine along with its utilities are in progress. This project with an investment of over H175 crores which will replace the existing low pressure CF Boilers and Turbines will have significant savings on energy cost on production.

The total project cost, as per current estimates including Phase II is H897 crores. This includes the amount settled with the erstwhile creditors of H371 crores. This is being funded by Term Loans from Banks, Capital Subsidy from the Government of Telangana, and issue of Equity/Preference Capital/loan from the Company.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

During the year under review, there has been no change in the capital structure of the Company. As on March 31, 2020 the Authorised Share Capital was H500 crores and Paid-up capital was H178.24 crores.

The Company has been able to achieve financial closure for its Packaging Board Project from a clutch of Indian and foreign banks. With a view to optimise costs, the Company has contracted 43% of these in foreign currency.

In order to optimise cost of working capital funds, the Company has accessed the Commercial Papers (CPs) market during the year. Over time with a mixture of CPs, Buyers and Suppliers Credit in foreign currency and Working Capital Demand Loan, the Company hopes to further reduce its cost of borrowing.

The Companys improved performance and reduced leveraging enabled it to get a rating upgrade to AA – (minus)/Stable for long term debt and A1+ for short term debt.

The applicable Secretarial Standards issued under Section 118 of the Companies Act 2013 (the Act) have been complied with.
