RCCL Industry Analysis:

Analysis Snippet: Phillips Carbon Black Ltd (PCBL)

The figure below shows the quarterly (unaudited results) for PCBL's carbon black segment. The data has been reconfigured to the conventional calender year and shows carbon black sales revenue and EBIT values.

The impact of Chinese imports on the domestic Indian market combined with poor global market conditions is clearly shown for the years 2012 and 2013 where constant sales revenue at equal or higher sales volume has led to poor EBIT performance.

PCBL has made efforts to overcome these issues by looking at improving direct costs via process efficiencies and local feedstock sourcing as well as improving the product mix towards higher value goods. There is a clear improvement trend in EBIT for the carbon black segment from 2014 onwards, this reflects PCBL's efforts in these areas.

More extensive analysis of PCBL and other carbon black manufacturers is available from MRT by arrangement.
