Industry Containers & Packaging

Time Technoplast Ltd Focussed value add to business

Time Technoplast (Time) is a leading manufacturer of polymer-based products with varied applications. Beginning with industrial packaging products such as drums and containers, it has subsequently moved into other polymer-based applications and also grown through acquisitions and joint ventures in India, Europe, UAE and Thailand. We expect Time to grow significantly based on healthy growth in the industrial packaging business, expansion into new Asian markets, and the launch of new products. We assign Time a fundamental grade of ‘4/5’, indicating that its fundamentals are ‘superior’ relative to other listed securities in India.

Growth in user industries to drive demand for industrial packaging Being a market leader with a 75% share in industrial packaging, Time is set to benefit from ~15-17% growth in the end-user industries, especially with consumption likely to improve with the trend to replace metals with plastics. We expect the domestic industrial packaging revenues to grow at a three year CAGR of 19% from FY10-13.

Asian expansion accelerates growth, to compete with global players After achieving market leadership in India, Time is expanding into other Asian countries with (a) an acquisition in Taiwan, (b) the acquisition of YPA, the second largest player in Thailand and (c) two Greenfield projects in Tianjin and Guangzhou in China. Although its foray into the Asian markets will provide opportunities for growth given low penetration of polymers, there will be challenges too. Time’s ability to replicate its historical success in these new markets will be a key monitorable.

New products in the offing; market acceptance a key monitorable Time has acquired technologies to develop two new products, composite cylinder and material handling products, which should accelerate growth. It acquired Komposite Praha (based in the Czech Republic), which is one of the two global companies manufacturing composite gas cylinders. Time also entered into a joint venture with Schoeller Arca, the global leader in material handling products. However, the market acceptance of the products remains a key monitorable.

Expect three-year revenue CAGR of 25%; EPS to almost double We expect consolidated revenues to register a three-year CAGR of 25% to Rs

19.5 bn in FY13 largely driven by growth in the industrial packaging segment and its foray into new markets. PAT is expected to grow from Rs 909 mn in FY10

to Rs 1,751 mn in FY13, driven by healthy revenue growth and stable margins. EPS is expected to almost double from Rs 4.3 in FY10 to Rs 8.4 in FY13.

Valuations – current market price has ‘upside’ We have used the discounted cash flow method to value Time and arrived at a fair value of Rs 71 per share. This fair value implies multiples of 10.0x FY12E and 8.4x FY13E earnings. We initiate coverage on Time with a valuation grade of ‘4/5’.

Grading Rationale

A technology-based polymer product player

Time is a leading manufacturer of a range of polymer-based products. Over a

period of time, it has acquired and developed technologies to make polymer-

based value-added products and has successfully substituted metals with

polymers.

The company started with manufacturing industrial packaging products such as

drums, barrels, containers and subsequently moved to other products.

Currently, its portfolio consists of products catering to industry segments like

industrial packaging, lifestyle products, infrastructure products, automotive

components and healthcare products. Of these, industrial packaging is the

largest contributor to revenues - 61% - followed by infrastructure (20%) and

lifestyle products (9%).Time conducts its business under two segments namely

polymer products and composite products. Although a majority of the business

comes from India, Time has crossed the borders into other parts of Asia and

Europe.

Continuously adding and innovating new products

Time has consistently been adding and innovating products. From initially

manufacturing industrial packaging products, it has expanded its basket to

include batteries, pipes, lifestyle and automotive products, and very recently –

composite cylinders and material handling products. To expand the portfolio,

Time either took the acquisition route or acquired the necessary technology

through a tie-up or joint venture to manufacture the products. A strong R&D

team is at the helm of all efforts to innovate products and identify opportunities

to replace metals with polymers, especially in high performance areas.

Market leader in industrial packaging

Time is the largest player in polymer-based industrial packaging with a market

share of 75%. The company manufactures a range of polymer drums, barrels

and IBCs used in the packaging of products in end-user industries such as

chemicals, specialty chemicals, FMCG, construction chemicals, paints,

pharmaceuticals and others. Although the company primarily grew organically, it

acquired the second best player, TPL Plastech, from the Tainwalla Group in

2006, which further strengthened its market position.

A pioneer in polymer-based packaging

Initially, packaging products (barrels, drums and containers) for liquids, used by

the chemical, specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals and other industries, were

mainly made of metals. Time was the first in the market to introduce polymer-

based industrial packaging for liquids and gradually over the years it has been

successful in replacing metal-based packaging with polymers.

Polymer-based packaging scores over metals

Currently, 50% of industrial packaging products are polymer-based while the

rest are still metallic. Polymer offers various benefits: a) lower weight; b) higher

resale value of polymer containers; and c) higher quality since the

containers/barrels produced are seamless and, hence, better equipped for

transportation and difficult material handling conditions; many products are

sensitive or hazardous in nature and, hence, safety of the materials in transit is

of prime importance to end-users.

Time Technoplast Ltd

Technology tie-up with Mauser provides the edge

Time tied up with Germany’s Mauser, a leading industrial packaging player, in

1993 to get the technology for making large barrels and containers in return for

fixed royalty. In the packaging business for more than a century, Mauser has

been innovating packaging solutions designed for the safety of hazardous

chemicals to suit industry requirements.

Time has also entered into a 49-51 JV with Mauser – Time Mauser Industries

Pvt. Ltd. - for manufacturing and marketing IBCs in India. IBCs are large

containers of ~1,000 litres used for packaging chemicals and specialty

chemicals, and are used for long-distance transportation of hazardous

chemicals.

Strong and diversified clientele

Time has close to 500 clients in the industrial packaging space and is not

dependent on any one client (the top 10 customers constitute ~25% of its

industrial packaging revenues). A strong relationship with clients ensures repeat

business; 90% is repeat business. The company has set up manufacturing

facilities across India (24 units in 13 locations) in proximity to its end-users in

order to lower the lead time. Also, since there is a high amount of freight

component involved in transporting these packaging products, it is cost

advantageous.

Built up relationships with plants close to end users

Given Time’s leadership position, pan-India manufacturing facilities and superior

quality of products, it has built up strong relationships with clients. Even though

the company is vulnerable to raw material price fluctuation because its raw

materials (polyethylene and polypropylene) are crude oil-based, Time has been

able to pass on raw material hikes to its clients. With plants close to the end

users, Time has developed a win-win strategy with its clientele. Over the past

five years, it has maintained its EBITDA margin in the range of 20% despite

fluctuation in raw material prices. Figure 4: EBITDA margins have been fairly stable Figure 5: ...despite fluctuation in raw material prices

End-users to drive demand for industrial packaging

Demand for industrial packaging is driven by growth in end-user segments such

as chemicals, specialty and construction chemicals, FMCG, paints,

pharmaceuticals and lube oils.

Figure 6: End-user industries for industrial packaging

Source: CRISIL Equities

The end-user industries have grown at a healthy rate in the past few years

driven by increased consumer spending. After a slowdown in 2009, growth has

picked up with improvement in the Indian economy. While the chemicals

industry grew at ~15%, the specialty segment grew faster at ~20% in FY10.

According to industry sources, specialty and construction chemicals segments

are poised for an annual growth of ~15% each while FMCG is expected to grow

at ~13-14% per annum over the next three years. The paints segment is also

expected to grow at a healthy rate of 15% driven by increased housing and

infrastructure spending.

Growth to follow the substitution effect

There has been an increasing usage of polymers in the industrial packaging

segment, with plastic drums and barrels fast replacing the age-old metal drums.

Although there was hardly any usage of polymer drums in industrial packaging,

its penetration has increased over the years to 50% currently. The penetration

is expected to increase further given the various benefits of polymer-based

packaging as discussed earlier. Also, even though polymer packaging was

slightly costlier than metal packaging, the gap has narrowed. The situation is

expected to reverse with lower cost of polyethylene due to new gas-based

capacities coming up in China and the Middle East, thus reducing the cost of

polyethylene, which is the main raw material (constituting ~65% of total cost)

for making polymer packaging. This will enable an increased penetration of

plastic drums in the industrial packaging segment.

Time to strengthen operations in Asia

After capturing the Indian industrial packaging market, Time is now expanding

its footprints in other Asian markets, which currently have low penetration of

polymer packaging (~20%) but are at the cusp of shift towards polymer

packaging given the declining price differential between polymer and metal

packaging. Also, these markets are growing at a healthy rate thereby providing

immense potential and opportunities for growth. The company has already

entered Thailand and Taiwan and is now looking at China, South Korea and

Indonesia by putting up greenfield projects there.

International chemicals manufacturing moving towards Asia

Over the past decade, the global chemical industry has witnessed a geographic

shift in manufacturing from NAFTA countries (US, Mexico, Canada) and Europe

to the emerging economies of China, India and other parts of Asia excluding

Japan. This has triggered growth in international trade of chemicals between

Asia and the developed economies, thereby driving the demand for industrial

packaging.

Entered Thailand and Taiwan through acquisitions

To foray into the fast growing Asia-Pacific market, in 2007, Time acquired Pack

Delta, the erstwhile JV with Mauser in Thailand. It acquired YPA Thailand in

November 2009, thus strengthening its market position in Thailand. Both Pack

Delta and YPA are operational with a combined capacity of 14,340 tonnes.

In October 2010, Time acquired Taiwan’s Yung Hsin, a market leader in plastic

drums. Yung Hsin has revenues of ~Rs 750 mn and a manufacturing capacity of

10,000 MT of plastic drums and containers with an IBC line that is currently idle.

With a capex of ~Rs 158 mn, Time plans to start operations on the IBC line by

March 2011 and fully commercialise the unit by FY12. Taiwan also has a low

penetration of ~8% for plastics in industrial packaging. We expect a growth of

~15% in Taiwan.

Time Technoplast Ltd

Foray into China, Indonesia and South Korea; challenges lie

The company is looking to expand to China, Indonesia and South Korea. It is

currently planning to set up two greenfield projects (at Tianjin and Guangzhou)

and has plans for manufacturing IBCs in China since it is the hub of international

trade between Europe and Asia for chemicals, specialty and construction

chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. Although the potential for IBCs is very high in

the region, Time will be competing with the global players like Schutz and

Mauser. In China, IBCs are only manufactured in Shanghai, where both Schutz

and Mauser have a presence.

Time is setting up a facility in Tianjin, which is in close proximity to the chemical

industry park in the free trade zone in Tianjin. Tianjin is the gateway of exports

to South Korea. Time is also setting up a facility in Guangzhou, which is the third

largest city in China and a trading port. Guangzhou also has an export

processing zone, with a presence of major chemical companies. Time is also

working on setting up manufacturing facilities in Indonesia and South Korea.

Time’s progress in terms of the timely commissioning of its plants and the

business in China, Indonesia and Korea remain a key monitorable.

Infrastructure and lifestyle products segments – expanding its product portfolio

The infrastructure and lifestyle products segments contribute close to 30% of

Time’s total revenues, with infrastructure having the larger share at 20%. Under

the infrastructure business, the company manufactures batteries used by

telecom companies for their towers while under the lifestyle segment it

manufactures and distributes products such as entrance mattings, turfs and

products like chairs.

Moving into new products such as pipes as the battery business is slowing down

Time started its infrastructure products division with the acquisition of NED

Energy in 2007 which manufactures batteries required to support the telecom

towers. The company competes with Amara Raja Batteries, Exide Industries and

HCL. Although the business recorded strong growth in the past few years given

the boom in telecom (the number of telecom towers were on the rise till FY10),

the business has started to now slow down given the slowdown in growth in

telecom sector. The company has, hence, expanded its product portfolio to

polyethylene (PE) pipes which are used in desalination plants and water supply

and sewerage infrastructure. The company also supplies the pipes to major EPC

players like Larsen & Toubro, Nagarjuna Construction, IVRCL and others.

The company is eyeing high growth in this business given the government

spending on water infrastructure projects. The pipes business has been picking

up with an increase in number of water and sewerage treatment projects in

India. Water supply and sanitation (WSS) has been allotted a huge investment

outlay of Rs 1.4 tn in the 11th Five-Year Plan compared to the investment outlay

of Rs 648.1 bn in the 10th Five-Year Plan. Major thrust in the WSS segment is

on improving rural infrastructure, an area expects investments of Rs 907 bn in

the 11th Five-Year Plan. Also, the traditional ductile iron pipes are being

replaced with PE pipes, improving the performance in terms of corrosion,

leakage and handling pressure. We expect the pipes business to grow at ~20%

per annum over the next three years.

Time also supplies UPS and solar batteries. In October 2010, Time acquired

Powerbuild, a solar battery manufacturer in Bengaluru to cater to the demand

for solar batteries.

Domestic lifestyle business growing at a healthy rate

Time forayed into the consumer and lifestyle products business with the launch

of mattings and turfs in 2006. The company has subsequently launched other

products like moulded furniture. These products have been well received in the

market, with the lifestyle business registering a strong growth of 38% (since its

start) driven by increased spending and demand for such products. The

company has a pan-India distribution network of 9,000 dealers across 350 cities.

Solutia acquisition opens doors to international markets

Time has extended its presence to Europe with the acquisition of US-based

Solutia’s plastic products division. Solutia manufactures specialty chemicals,

performance films and glass. The plastic products division manufactures

mattings and turfs under the renowned brand ‘Astroturf’, nestpads used in

poultry farms and rain flaps under the brand ‘ClearPass’ in Romania and supplies

to the European market. With the acquisition of the plastic products division of

Solutia, Time not only gets access to ‘Astroturf’, which is a well-known brand in

lifestyle products, but it will also be able to sell the brands internationally to

various markets including Middle East and Europe.

Automotive products segment – new products in offing, but acceptance will take time

Automotive products contribute close to 10% of Time’s total revenues. Under

this business, the company primarily manufactures and markets rain flaps and

fuel tanks to domestic as well as European markets. The company has recently

developed some new innovative products like de-aeration tanks which it supplies

to Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland and Eicher Motors for their commercial vehicles.

It is currently in talks with these companies to supply these products for

passenger vehicles. Although internationally these polymer-based products are

used in passenger cars, in India it is currently not so. We believe such products

will take some time to take off as they have to go through various rounds of

testing before they can be sold to automobile players.

Inorganic route to growth has proven successful

Time has walked both paths - organic and inorganic. Of the 38% CAGR growth

registered so far during the period FY07-10, 23% has come from the organic

path and the remaining through inorganic means. These acquisitions have been

smaller in size; the idea was not to get the capacity but to either get access to

technology or to enter new markets. The company has been successful in

running and integrating these companies with its operations. Most of these

companies have demonstrated improvement in performance after Time acquired

them, which is a testimony of Time’s strong and able management.

Composite cylinders – new product, new challenge

Composite cylinders are cylinders made of polymers and glass reinforcement

fibre and are used for packaging gas. They have many advantages compared to

metal cylinders, both in terms of safety and weight. They not only weigh less

than half of metal cylinders, the safety levels are high as they can withstand

close to six times the pressure of a metal cylinder and are also not prone to

explosions.

The LPG cylinder market in India is huge with 180 mn cylinders currently in

circulation, while globally it is 600 mn units. These cylinders are mainly used for

cooking purposes. LPG penetration is likely to increase from an estimated 48.4%

of total households in FY10 to around 56.2% in FY15 following an increase in

rural customer base and the continued shift in demand from SKO (Standard

Kerosene Oil) to LPG. In order to encourage the use of LPG over other fuels, the

government has introduced the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen LPG Vitrak Yojana which

seeks to increase the domestic cooking gas penetration in India from 48% to

around 75% of the population by 2015. Apart from this, ~10% of the total

cylinders in circulation are replaced with new ones as typically the life of a metal

cylinder is close to 10 years.

Time Technoplast Ltd

Time has necessary technology and first-mover advantage

In November 2009, Time acquired Komposite Praha, a manufacturer of

composite gas cylinders in the Czech Republic, when it ran into trouble during

the recession. The company was formed by four scientists who developed the

technology for such cylinders, but could not run it profitably. The acquisition has

not only given access to technical know-how but also a capacity of 0.5 mn units.

The company has already started supplying to the European markets from its

Czech Republic unit.

Also, with access to this technology, Time has already developed a prototype to

market composite cylinders in India. Although there are other cylinder

manufacturers in India, who have also shown interest to enter the composite

cylinders, currently no one has the desired technology. We believe with

technology in place, Time will reap the benefits as the market for composite

cylinder opens up in India.

Indian market will take some time to open up, but opportunities in other markets are immense

Although the Government of India is keen to push composite cylinders in the

Indian market and has invited expression of interest from various players to set

up facility in India, we believe this may take some time because of necessary

approvals, clearances and other formalities. However, Time is planning to export

these composite cylinders to countries like Middle East, Sri Lanka and Indonesia

till opportunities in India open up. The company is in the process of setting up a

unit for manufacturing 1 mn composite cylinders at Talasari in Maharashtra,

which has received certification from TUV during the month. The TUV certification

will enable it to market the composite cylinders internationally. The company is

also in talks with various oil marketing companies (OMCs) in these markets who

have expressed their willingness to source these cylinders from Time.

Material handling, another new product; technology tie-up with Schoeller Arca

In 2009, Time entered a joint venture with Schoeller Arca Systems, the

Netherlands, for the launch of material handling products (MHP) in India. The

product is unique as against typical MHP, this new innovation is sturdier and can

be folded after its emptied, thereby reducing return freight costs. As per the JV

agreement, Schoeller Arca will provide the necessary technical knowhow while

Time will manufacture and market the same in India.

MHP products are used in the retail, agriculture, fisheries, automotive and postal

sectors. The company has set up facilities to manufacture 3,000 MT of MHP

products, which is expected to increase to 6,000 MT by FY13. While the plant

has been commissioned, we expect revenues to accrue from FY12.

We believe that both these products have tremendous potential but will take

time before they are accepted completely in India; their success remains a key

monitorable. We have been conservative in our estimates for these products and

have assumed a share of just 6% to total revenues in FY13.

Key risks

Dependence on growth of end-user industries

Time’s industrial packaging business is dependent on the growth of its end-user

industries such as chemicals, specialty chemicals, FMCG and others. In FY09,

during the economic slowdown, the chemicals and specialty chemical industry

slowed down significantly due to a slowdown in end-user industries, namely

infrastructure, construction, textiles, automobiles and personal care. Given that

industrial packaging is Time’s largest business segment, any such slowdown in

the future may have an impact on the company’s performance.

Relationship with Mauser, Germany

Time currently has a technology tie-up with Mauser, Germany for some of its

industrial packaging products for which it pays royalty to Mauser. The company

also has a JV with Mauser for the IBC products. Although the Time and Mauser

share a long relationship, any sort of disruption may have an adverse impact.

Successful integration of new acquisition is a key monitorable

Time has recently made a few global acquisitions - an industrial packaging

company in Taiwan and several acquisitions in Europe. Historically, the

management has been fairly successful in integrating the acquisitions. Going

forward, management’s ability to integrate the newer acquisitions and

successfully run these companies will be a key monitorable.

Success of new products

Time has recently developed two new products – composite cylinders and

returnable material handling. Both the products have good potential but may

take some time before they are accepted in the market. Although we have been

conservative in our revenue estimates from these new products, any further

delay in getting the desired success and acceptance from the market may have

an adverse impact on our estimates.

Delays in commissioning of new capacities

The company is currently in the process of setting up new Greenfield plants in

some international locations such as China and Indonesia. It is also in the

process of setting up facilities for its new products. Any delay in commissioning

of these capacities may have an impact on the financial performance of the

company.

Competition from international players in Asia

Although there are few players in the industrial packaging segment and with the

low penetration by plastics reduce the risks, Time faces competitive risks from

international players in industrial packaging in Asia.

In FY09, volumes and

margins were marginally

impacted due to

recession in end user

industries

Time Technoplast Ltd

Financial Outlook

Revenues to grow at three-year CAGR of 25%

We expect Time’s revenues to grow at a three-year CAGR of 25% to Rs 19.5 bn

in FY13 driven by both organic and inorganic growth. Organic growth is expected

to be 21%, primarily driven by growth in industrial packaging (expected to grow

at a CAGR of 25%) as well as new products. By FY13, new products will

contribute ~6% to total revenues. Inorganic growth is expected to come from

the acquisition of an industrial packaging unit in Taiwan and a lifestyle product

division of Solutia.

EBITDA margin have been fairly stable in the past; expect it to be in the range of ~19%

Time’s EBITDA margins in the past have been fairly stable and have been in the

range of 19-20%. Although the company uses polymers as its main raw

material, the prices of which have been volatile in the past, it has been able to

pass on the hike in prices given its high bargaining power with customers.

However, margins have dipped from 21.5% in FY08 to 19.9% in FY09 and

19.5% in FY10 on the back of an increase in overheads due to the various

acquisitions and lower utilisation of these capacities. We expect the company’s

Management Overview

CRISIL's fundamental grading methodology includes a broad assessment of

management quality, apart from other key factors such as industry and business

prospects, and financial performance.

An experienced management led by professionals

Time has an experienced management led a by four professionals with over two

decades of experience in the polymer industry. The company is headed by Mr.

Anil Jain, managing director, with more than three decades of experience in the

industry. Mr Jain is supported by three promoter directors - Mr. Bharat Vageria

(Director Finance), Mr. Raghupathy Thyagarajan (Director Marketing) and Mr

Naveen Jain (Director Technical).

Successful in achieving market leadership

Time has been successful in establishing a leadership position in industrial

packaging in India through both organic and inorganic growth, under the able

guidance of Mr Anil Jain. Management has not only been able to handle organic

growth but also identified right opportunities, acquired them as well as

integrated them well with the current operations.

Proactive in innovating new products

Time’s management has an eye for innovative technologies. The company has

successfully innovated and developed new products in the past. It started with

industrial packaging and then continuously added new products such as

batteries, pipes, lifestyle products, automotive products, etc. It recently

acquired a technology to make two new products – composite cylinders and

material handling. Management’s ability to continuously innovate and implement

new technologies and products has enabled Time to scale up in a short span of

time.

A strong and experienced second line; management board in place

Based on our interactions and assesment, we believe the company has a strong

second-line of management. The senior management team has varied work

experiences in their respective fields and have been with the company for a

reasonable period of time. The company also has a Management Board

consisting of twelve members who are a part of the second-line of management

along with three permanent but external invitees.

Corporate Governance

CRISIL’s fundamental grading methodology includes a broad assessment of

corporate governance and management quality, apart from other key factors

such as industry and business prospects, and financial performance. In this

context, CRISIL Equities analyses the shareholding structure, board composition,

typical board processes, disclosure standards and related-party transactions.

Any qualifications by regulators or auditors also serve as useful inputs while

assessing a company’s corporate governance.

Overall, Time’s corporate governance is good supported by an independent

board and good board practices.

Board composition

Time board consists of 10 members, of whom four are independent directors,

which meets the requirement under Clause 49 of SEBI’s listing guidelines.

Chairman of the board, Mr K. N. Venkatasubramanian, is a non-executive

member. He is the ex-chairman of Indian Oil and the chairman of a number of

oil companies namely IPCL, Gulf Oil. The other directors are highly qualified and

well experienced too. Most of the board members have been associated with the

company for more than 15 years and their suggestions and feedback are well-

received by the promoters. Given the background of directors, we believe the

board is well experienced. Based on our interaction with independent directors,

we believe they have a good understanding of the company’s business and its

processes.

Board’s processes

The company’s quality of disclosure can be considered good judged by the level

of information and details furnished in the annual report, websites and other

publicly available data. The company has all the necessary committees – audit,

remuneration and investor grievance - in place to support corporate governance

practices. The audit committee is chaired by an independent director, Mr M K

Wadhwa, a chartered accountant. The board meetings are conducted

professionally with the detailed agenda reaching the board of directors on time.

Corporate governance

practices are good

Company Overview

Time was promoted by a group of professionals, experienced in the polymers

business. Incorporated in 1989, Time commenced operations in 1991 as a small-

scale unit with its plant in Daman. In 1993, the company entered into a

collaboration with Mauser, Germany, the world leader in industrial packaging.

The company gradually expanded its operations to 24 manufacturing units with

13 locations in India and the rest abroad - in Sharjah, Poland, Romania and

Thailand.

supplies the products - industrial packaging, infrastructure products, automotive

products, lifestyle products and healthcare products. Of these, industrial

packaging is the largest, contributing to 61% of revenues followed by

infrastructure with 20% contribution to revenues and lifestyle products with 9%

contribution to revenues. Although the majority of its current business comes

from India, it has also spread its reach to Europe and other Asian countries.
