Summary
Tri-Pack Films Limited (Tri-Pack) - a joint venture between Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan and Packages Limited of Pakistan - is involved in production of packaging films used by packaging companies. Incorporated in 1993, the Company commenced commercial production in 1995. Tri-Pack is listed on all the three bourses of the country, with a paid-up capital of Rs 300 million. Packages Limited, an integrated packaging company, is a big buyer of the packaging films produced by Tri-Pack. The former also holds 33.3 percent equity in the latter. Tri-Pack is a fairly leveraged company and it enjoys long-term rating of "A+" and a short-term rating of "A1" by PACRA.

The total installed capacity for BOPP films stands at 29,000 tons per annum. The second type of film is the high-gloss and low-haze 'cast polypropylene' (CPP) film. CPP films are also available in different grades and their thickness ranges from 20 to 150 microns.

Financial performance
Sales As the penetration and consumption of fast-moving consumer goods are increasing, demand for packaged goods is also on the rise. Resultantly, sales' volume of packaging companies and in turn, those of their suppliers has also been increasing. This phenomenon has greatly benefited Tri-Pack's sales that crossed Rs 9 billion for the first time in 2010. Tri-Pack's sales are heavily tilted towards domestic business; as only about 3 percent of total sales is generated through exports this year. In 2010, the Company's net sales grew by a magnificent 34 percent over 2009. Renewed focus on domestic sales through aggressive marketing and government actions against smuggling via Afghan transit trade and under-invoicing of BOPP films helped the company compete better in 2010.
Cost of Sales
Growth in the cost of sales outstripped the increase in net sales during 2010. The 36 percent growth is primarily on account of higher utilisation of raw materials, especially polypropylene granules, to meet the surge in demand. Fluctuations in the price of crude oil, another major raw material, also exacerbated the Company's COGS. As percentage of net sales, cost of sales remained steady at 84 percent during the year.
Operating Expenditures
Owing to higher freight costs, the distribution costs grew by 23 percent in 2010 and stayed the same as a percentage of net sales in 2010 and 2009. Administrative expenses also rose by 27 percent in 2010, when money spent on salaries and wages was more than what was spent during the preceding two years. The expenses ate up 2 percent of net sales in 2010, compared to 1 percent in 2009.

It was higher taxation charges that reduced the net profits to Rs 494.8 million in 2010, as the bottom-line grew by 7 percent year-on-year. Net margins have, however, declined during the period under review to 6.49 percent. Tri-Pack's earnings per share came in at Rs 16.49 in 2010, compared to Rs 15.47 in 2008 and Rs 16 in 2008. The company's stock has performed consistently over the last three calendar years, trading above Rs 100 and consistently offering a price-to-earnings ratio above 6.

Liquidity
The Company's cash flows improved to Rs 54.3 million at the end of 2010, compared to a negative cash generation of Rs 376.5 million at the end of 2009. The Company's current ratio has also improved to 1.3, from 1.2, respectively, during the preceding two years. The Company seems set to achieve operational efficiency during the year, turning over its inventory 5 times in 2010, compared to 3.9 times in 2009 and 4.3 times in 2008.
Leverage
Tri-Pack's leverage position is much better in 2010 than it was during the preceding two years. There is less debt accumulation in the company's capital structure. The debt-to-equity ratio dropped to 0.2 in 2010, from 0.4 in 2009. Company's interest paying ability also seems to have improved as the financial charges dropped and operating profits increased in 2010.
Future Outlook
To cater to increased demand of its BOPP films in the packaging industry, TriPack decided this year to expand its production capabilities by setting-up a new BOPP plant with a capacity of 40,000 tons, at a budgeted cost of Rs 5.2 billion. The project is being financed with a mix of debt and internal cash generation and is targeted to be operational by 2012. Being part of the supply-chain of packaged goods industry, Tri-Pack stands to benefit from both, the rising demand of packaged goods and the zeal of Pakistani multinationals to increase their year-on-year volumes. However, the Company encounters challenges on the raw materials' front, as movements in the prices of crude oil and polypropylene granules directly impact the Company's cost of sales and resulting margins.
