1 Integrated Manufacturing Has Broadened Product Portfolio
Base Film Lines with Upstream PET Resin Plants and Downstream Capabilities

◼ The only global player with resin plants at all manufacturing locations
◼ Forward integration provides ability to undertake one or more downstream processes on the Base film, leading to higher
innovation and value addition, while ensuring cost effectiveness and reduced volatility
◼ Backward integration is vital to developing resins required for specialty products, apart from enhancing cost competitiveness
and ensuring supply security
◼ In-house mechanical and chemical recycling furthers Polyplex’s sustainability goals, by replacing virgin PET resins (made from

2 Polyplex – A Respected Plastic Film Manufacturer

In addition to Sarafil range of standard and specialty base films, Polyplex has diversified into several value-added downstream
products under Saracote, Saralam and Saraprint brands over the last 10-15 years

Sarafil Base Films are suitable for a range of applications with their The Saracote range of silicone coated films (PET/PP) is designed to
inherent properties of being clear, transparent, flexible, sealable, provide an excellent carrier to pressure sensitive material. The typical
chemical inertness, high barrier, superior mechanical properties and applications are in labels, tapes, roofing shingles and “peel & stick”
high heat resistance underlayment

The Saralam range of extrusion coated film products cater to a variety Saraprint is an innovative non-tearable polyester film designed for
of end uses such as thermal lamination products including digital print media segment for photo album, general printing,
documents, identity cards, carton lamination and wide format promotional & customized digital printing, mini-offset printing and
commercial films labels

Polyplex’s Unique Strategy

Constant addition of new products to the differentiated portfolio, effectively “replacing” older and standard products

Sustained investments in projects in Turkey, US, India and Thailand expected to drive growth in D-PAC sales

Strong relationships and continued engagement with anchor customers for an iterative product development process

1 The contribution from D-PAC sales to the overall EBITDA represents “incremental” margin over and above standard products net of additional costs (raw
materials, differential productivity, wastages and conversion costs). As an illustration, if standard film price is 100, D-PAC product price is 200 and additional cost 21
is 30, then the resulting incremental margin would be 70;

4 Continued Focus on Operational Efficiencies and Costs

◼ Business process continuous improvement and excellence programs


— Undertaking several initiatives to improve business processes and optimize costs through continuous
improvement in the areas of productivity, wastage, freight, packing, energy conservation, inventory
management and other processes
— Benefits from these programs have been accruing over the last several years and incremental benefits are
expected in the future as well

◼ Structure new investments to build on leadership in delivered cost


— Near-shore and on-shore manufacturing strategy
— Benefit from logistics and trade duty differentials

◼ Capacity utilization
— Ensuring ~100% CUF across all manufacturing plants even in the context of global over-capacity (if any):
– Swift ramp up in capacity utilization of new BOPET, BOPP and other downstream assets
— Debottlenecking existing assets

◼ Asset configuration
— Cost efficiency through large contemporary assets being used for standard products
— Continue to repurpose older lines for producing specialty films efficiently
— Economies of scale through minimum asset base of two base film lines, resin plant and downstream
capabilities at each manufacturing location

Thin BOPET Industry Outlook

Upcoming Capacity Additions Expected to Track Demand Growth Expected Capacity in the Industry
KTPA

◼ ~1.2MMT of global capacity is expected to be added in Thin BOPET segment by


2024; majority of the new capacity is being installed in low-cost developing
countries - China and India, together accounting for ~85% of the total upcoming capacity

◼ Some of the largest players in the industry are Chinese, but they primarily cater to the
domestic market with some limited presence in Southeast Asia, and have negligible
presence in the US and Europe

◼ CUF levels between 80-85% are considered high and close to the full producible
capacity for the industry
— Excluding impact of China, the CUF rates are steadier with lower variance in
peaks and troughs

are expected to positively impact the outlook on utilization rates

◼ Incremental demand over the next 6 years would exceed the new capacity added for Capacity(KTPA)
most of the key demand centers

◼ Trend towards Deglobalization, Protectionism and preference for local and regional
supplies

Polyplex Strengths

◼ Players with global footprint can better withstand the regional imbalances and industry volatility
◼ With its global manufacturing presence in key demand centers, Polyplex can cater to all geographies, thereby maintaining
~100% CUF levels and superior margin profile over the years
◼ Focus on speciality and high value added products thus making earnings more predictable
◼ Competitive cost structure (on DDP basis) helps sustain competitive advantage
◼ Pricing is a function of demand/supply - effect of crude is limited as RM prices are passed through to customers with a varying
lag
◼ Tax Efficient Structure
◼ Ongoing Capex on various line upgrades to enable optimal utilization of assets
