Financial Results

The Summarized standalone and consolidated results of your company and its subsidiary are given in the table below: -

(Rs. In lakhs)

Rubfila International Ltd

The year started with huge head winds due to lockdown in the country on account of the second wave of Covid and there was uncertainty all around the business world. The medical as well as the social infrastructure came under severe strain across the country during this period and every section of the society went through difficulties. The crisis led to employment losses, stress in economy and the business prospects looked very dim during the first quarter

By the middle of the year, Covid was slowly ebbing and economy started rebounding but in a varied degree in different countries. As per the World Economic Outlook by International Monetary Fund (IMF) published in October 2021, though the economy recovered, the momentum had slowed. The biggest impact came in the form huge disruptions in the global supply chains leading to high inflationary trends in the prices of all inputs. This led the governments and central banks across all the countries trying to rein in the inflation affecting the common man on the street, by increasing the interest rates.

There were cost escalation in all areas whether for raw materials, packaging materials, local logistics, container charges etc, but only a portion of this could be transferred to the customers. This remained the situation throughout the year, but prices are expected to soften from the second half of the next financial year.

Despite such a grim situation, it is commendable that the year ended on a positive note with the sales growing by more than 50% as compared to the previous year. The revenue for the financial year ended March 31, 2022 was Rs. 41,665.32 lakhs, a growth by 54.29% compared to Rs.27,005.14 lakhs in the previous year. The profit after tax (PAT) also grew by 42.26% to Rs.4304.15 lakhs from Rs.3025.45 lakhs in the previous year.

Rubfila crossed further milestones in the form of commissioning of two new lines, one in the month of September 2021 and the next one in the month of March, 2022 adding 5000 MT to its annual capacity and the total installed capacity currently stands at 25000 MT. With this additional capacity, the company plans tapping into the international market and carve a higher market share for itself.

Premier Tissues India Ltd:

Premier Tissues India Ltd (PT), the wholly owned subsidiary of RIL, continues to be a significant player in the tissue paper industry. PT also faced severe constraints due to huge hike in prices of raw materials like waste paper, packaging etc. With schools and offices not functioning, availability of waste paper came down drastically leading to huge price increases.

The sale in the first quarter was affected due to lockdown, but recovered during the remaining part of the year and the sales was closed at higher level than the previous one. But challenges remained throughout the year due to constraints in raw material availability as well as profitability. The industry consists of a disproportionate number of unorganized players and for this reason, the leeway available for passing on the increase in costs to the market was limited affecting profitability.

The standalone sales of the company for the financial year 2022 was 7. 6010.25 lakhs as compared to Rs.5289.39 lakhs for the previous year. The hike in raw material prices, packaging and other overheads led to lower profits of 7161.19 lakhs compared to 7 317.72 lakhs in the previous year.

South Indian states continue to be the major market for Premier products, with the presence of the brand in other parts of the country not at the desired level. Sales network extension is happening in a progressive manner in those areas by appointing new sales team members and distributors and the results are expected to follow in the near future.

As a part of enhancing the business potential, Premier has entered into home care product segment with products like dish washing liquid/bar, floor cleaner, toilet cleaner, detergent pow- der/bar etc. These segments are seeing a healthy growth as per market studies and the company plans to tap into this growing category. The products have been soft launched in Kerala and the response has been encouraging for a new brand. A sales team has been put in place and distributors are being appointed and the company is optimistic about the results from this foray.

Consolidated Figures:

The consolidated revenue from operations for the year was Rs. 47,674.57 lakhs and the profit before tax at Rs. 6,014.63 lakhs. On consolidated basis, Rubfila along with the subsidiary earned a Profit after Tax of Rs. 4,464.35 lakhs for the year 2021-22.

Future Prospects

Rubfila International Ltd

Inner wear as a segment has been growing for the past many years in India and internationally. The per capita consumption of innerwear in the country is estimated to be very low and with the increase in income levels of people in the past few years, there has been an increase in the per capita metric. This has been one of the major reasons for the growth and your company had taken the right steps at the right time in tapping into this growth.

Rubfila continues to explore growth in its core business of rubber threads though there are fresh challenges happening in the form of added capacities from other existing players as well as prospective entry by new players. Growth of spandex as an alternate material is another challenge the industry is facing since it can eat into the existing as well as the growth happening in the market.

With the scale of operations reaching almost at par with the larger international players, your company is geared up to face challenges in the industry and looks forward to becoming one of the top three players internationally.

Though challenges remain in the near term, your company is well poised to face those considering the cost benefits it can leverage owing to the enhanced capacities.

Premier Tissues (Indi) Ltd

Premier has plans to extend its presence to more areas around the country where it is not present today. For that, more members are added to the sales team and distributors are being appointed. The added focus on the regions in addition to the South India is expected to bring in more business.
