ST Jiyao to purchase Nanjing Titanium's 100% equities

Jilin Pharmaceutical Limited Company (ST Jiyao) announced its restructuring plan to purchase 100% equities of Nanjing Titanium Dioxide Chemical Co., Ltd. (Nanjing Titanium) with USD155.5 million. If the transaction is completed, ST Jiyao's main business will turn to TiO2 production, which has competitive strength and the company's profitability will be improved. Meanwhile, Nanjing Titanium's financial ability will be largely strengthened and it will be much easier for Nanjing Titanium to raise fund to expand, according to CCM’s December issue of TiO2 China Monthly Report.

 

It is reported that, in 2011, Nanjing Titanium produced 64,500 tonnes of TiO2 (36,700 tonnes of rutile TiO2 and 27,800 tonnes of anatase TiO2), accounting for 3.4% of the total TiO2 output in China. At the same time, operated by Xuzhou Titanium Dioxide Chemical Co., Ltd. (Xuzhou Titanium), a subsidiary of Nanjing Titanium, an 80,000t/a sulfate process TiO2 project will be put into operation during 2014 and 2015. Nanjing Titanium promises the company's profit will increase by at least 50% in 2015, compared with that in 2013.

 

Nanjing Titanium's TiO2 output volume ranked No. 8 in China in 2011. As for the cost in sulfate process TiO2 production (per tonne) in Nanjing Titanium during Q1-Q3 2012, main raw materials cost USD1,146, accounting for 55% of the total cost; power costs USD490, accounting for 24% of the total cost; labor costs USD90; manufacturing fee costs USD189; other fee costs USD155. Nanjing Titanium enjoyed a gross profit margin of 20.5% in 2011, which is lower than Henan Billions' 33.3% and Sichuan Lomon's 30.7%, but higher than Annada's 13.0% and CNNC Huayuan Titanium's -0.7%.

 

Nowadays, TiO2 price has decreased dramatically compared with that in July 2011 and investors start to worry about the prospect of TiO2 industry. However, as a staffer from ST Jiyao's investor relationship department said, "Even though TiO2 price has declined dramatically compared with that in 2011, it keeps stable now. TiO2 is widely used in coating, plastic and paper making industries and it is connected tightly to the whole economy. The national policies will influence TiO2 industry, so people needn't to be pessimistic about TiO2 industry". Besides, if the transaction is completed, ST Jiyao will get listed in H1 2013 at the soonest.

What is the key target of Chinese pesticide industry in the next five years?

With over 60 years' development, China has become the biggest pesticide production base and also a huge pesticide consumer market in the world.

The amount of grain per capita in China continued improving in 60 years, but it is just close to the world average, and much lower than that in developed countries, it can be said that the future per capita demand for food will continue to upgrade. China's total population, even under the current population policy, will continue to grow until 2025. As a result, China's domestic demand for food will continue to grow, the demand for corresponding agricultural materials supplies will also increase.

The Chinese pesticide consumption growth is expected to go on. China’s average pesticide spending is expected to be more than ￥700/ha in 2016, while the industry output value is expected to reach ￥186 billion in 2012 according to the current sales price. Counting food demand, planting area, planting structure and the income of the farmers together, the pesticide spending per unit area in the report is ​​a comprehensive reflection of the influencing factors of the long-term consumption of pesticides.

Chinese government now is actively raising the overall industrial strength of domestic pesticide industry by means of releasing stricter policies in environmental protection, heightening industry entrance threshold and phasing out highly toxic and highly residual pesticide varieties, etc.

Overview of Pesticide Industry in China 2012-2016 is CCM's summary report on Chinese pesticide industry. This study explores market landscape and competition of Chinese pesticide industry and is comprised of two major sections: Historical description—a full market commentary provides a summary comprehension on Chinese pesticide history. Development situation is presented in ways of industrial dynamic and market supply/demand. Future forecast—expertise analysis provides the most credible forecast on pesticides in the coming five years (2012-2016).

Marine coatings manufacturers meet depression of shipbuilding industry

After the rapid development for years, China's shipbuilding industry faces difficulties in 2012 with a large scale of bankruptcy. As to marine coating manufacturers, series products and competitive price may help them to occupy more market shares after the shipbuilding industry comes out of depression, ,according to CCMs September issue of TiO2 China Monthly Report.

It is reported that at the end of 2011, the biggest shipbuilding company in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, Hengfu Shipbuilding Group declared bankruptcy. In Feb. 2012, Chongqing Kinlong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. followed the step of Hengfu Shipbuilding Group. In March 2012, Jiangsu Nantong Huigang Shipbuilding Industry also went into bankruptcy. Shortly afterwards, Zhejiang Jingang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. applied for bankruptcy protection.

At the same time, China CSSC Holdings Limited (CSSC) and Guangzhou Shipyard International Co., Ltd. (GSI), two big shipbuilding companies announced their semi-annual reports of H1 2012.
