UFLEX Ltd eyes Rs. 3,500 crore revenue and profit of Rs.

800
crore in FY11

November, 2010: Buoyed by the spur in the flexible packaging sector over the
last one quarter and recently announced Q2 FY11 results, Uflex Ltd, the Bombay
Stock Exchange (UFLEX: 500148) and NSE listed, India's largest flexible
packaging company has set its eye on achieving Rs. 3,500 crore revenue mark
and register profit of Rs. 800 crore in FY11. The higher revenue growth
projections are attributed to increasing demand of polyester films and resultant
higher realisations.

The Company’s margins and realizations have been very healthy for its entire
gamut of products offered i.e. PET film, PP film and Flexible Laminates. The
operating margin for the PET film over the past few months has been growing
rapidly month after month due to sudden shortage of this particular product in
the global market. The present operating margin of Pet Film has substantially
increased compared to the past whereas the operating margins for PP film and
packaging products have been stable. As a result of this changed scenario, the
profits earned by the company have been very strong and are estimated to
remain strong in future.

Uflex has registered a landmark growth of 341% increase in its consolidated net
profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 at Rs. 203 crore as against Rs.
46 crore for the same period last year, the highest growth in any quarter
registered so far.

The firm's consolidated revenue for the September quarter of 2010 stood at Rs.
859 crore as against Rs. 586 crore for the same quarter last year, up 47%. The
higher revenue growth is attributed to new capacity expansion, increased
utilization and higher net realization of the UFlex’s products line.

On a sequential basis also, UFlex registered growth in its quarter-on-quarter


consolidated net profit of 233% over profit figures of the preceding quarter that
stood at Rs. 61 crore in the April-June quarter (Q1 FY10-11). For the six months
period ending September 30, 2010, UFlex recorded net profit of Rs. 263 crore
against Rs. 92 crore in the corresponding period last year, a growth of 185%. Net
revenue of the company for the six months ended Sept. 30, 2010 stood at Rs.
1551 crore compared Rs. 1118 crore in the same period in previous fiscal,up by
39%.

According to Mr. R.K. Jain of UFLEX Ltd, “Increasing penetration of organized retail
along with growing middle class segment will enhance demand for flexible
packaging in future. UFlex is an ‘end to end’ packaging solutions provider with
capability to produce plastic films as well as offer packaging solutions making it a
preferred choice with an increasing number of organized retailers who seek one
stop shop for comprehensive solutions at competitive prices. As the sector is
doing quite well so new players are likely to enter the market and the existing
ones may increase their capacity. There is a constant growth in the packaging so
the rates may remain high for around a year or so, which will have a positive
effect on our financial health”.

UFLEX is continuing with its strategy of capacity expansion and adding


manufacturing lines for new product categories across facilities in Egypt, Mexico
and Dubai – not only to increase proximity to the markets, but also to bring broad
portfolio of value added products to its clients at competitive price points.

In Egypt, the Company is ramping up production capacities for BOPP films (Bi-
axially Oriented Poly Propylene film) to 35,000 TPA; 30000TPA of PET (Polyester)
and 12000TPA of CPP films aggregating to total capacity of 77,000 TPA. The
company’s planned investments in Egypt are pegged at US$ 135 million. This
facility has trade pacts with GCC nations, Southern Europe & Africa, Middle East,
West Asia and CIS to access larger markets.

The first phase of this expansion involving added capacities in BOPP films has
already commenced operations, while the second phase of setting up facilities for
PET and CPP films is expected to be completed by the 3rd quarter of FY 2011-12.

Uflex's strong manufacturing base in India, Mexico, Dubai and Egypt caters to
global markets spanning USA, Canada, South America, UK, Europe, Russia, CIS
