Engro Polymer and Chemical Limited and its Subsidiary Company
Directors’ Review to the Shareholders
On Unaudited conslidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements
For the Half Year Ended June 30, 2011
On behalf of Directors of Engro Polymer and Chemical Limited, we would like to present the unaudited Financial Statement of the Company for the half year ended June 30, 2011.
Business Review
Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) production during 2Q 2011 at 21K tons was better than last year production of 12K tons, but below expectation due to an unplanned outage of one of the VCM furnaces. The Company imported 7K tons of VCM during 2Q 2011 to meet the shortfall. VCM production for 1H 2011 was 35K tons as compared to 14K tons in the corresponding period last year.
Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) production during 2Q 2011 was 27K tons as compared to 30K tons in 2Q 2010. Production was lower than last year due to unavailability of VCM. The Company sold 26K tons in 2Q 2011 as against 25K tons in 2Q 2010. Total PVC production for 1H 2011 was 52K tons as compared to 50K tons in 1H 2010. PVC domestic sales for 1H 2011 was 55K tons as against 46K tons in the same period last year. International PVC prices remained in the range of $ 1,200 per ton during 2Q 2011 on account of high raw material prices and supply demand. International PVC-VCM price differential at around $100/ton remained the same as 2Q 2010.
Caustic Soda production for the quarter was 25K tons which was same as last year. The Company sold 22K tons in 2Q 2011 as against 21K tons in 2Q 2010. Total Caustic soda production during 1H 2011 was 46K tons as compared to 44K tons in the same period last year. The Company sold 42K tons of Caustic soda in the first six months of the year as against 38K tons last year. A total of 5K tons of Sodium Hypochlorite was produced and sold in the domestic market during the quarter. EDC production for 2Q 2011 was 26K tons. The Company exported 4K tons of EDC during 2Q 2011.
Revenue during 1H 2011 was Rs. 8,031 million showing an increase of 17% over the same period last year. Growth in revenue is attributable to increased volumes and higher product prices as compared to the same period last year. However, as a result of low VCM production and lower PVC sales, the Company incurred a loss after tax of Rs. 195 million in 1H 2011 as compared to a loss after tax of Rs. 449 million in the same period last year.
Near Future Outlook
While VCM operations have been improved over the last year, VCM plant has so far not been able to achieve stable operations for extended period at design throughput rates. Extensive effort is being directed to improve the areas impacting smooth operations and it is expected that the production performance of the VCM plant will continue to see improvement. However, full benefit of the integrated operations will only be achieved with stable VCM operations at designed rates.
