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
PTA and MEG) with Post consumer PET bales / flakes

D-PAC Standard Annualised D-PAC Standard Annualised
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 9
is 30, then the resulting incremental margin would be 70;
3 Global and Well-Diversified Customer Base
Deep-Rooted Relationships with Key Customers Spanning Over 15+ Years
◼ Tier I supplier to leading global and regional converters who cater to global CPGs / OEMs
◼ Strong manufacturing and distribution capabilities helps capitalize on the increasing preference of customers to source locally

◼ 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

China VA over Index RM (on 12 mic) - $/Kg PCL VA (Consol-all films) - $/Kg Crude Oil - $/Barrel
◼ Raw Material (PTA/MEG melt cost) tracks crude oil ◼ The gap between Polyplex and Chinese players’ gross margin
◼ Raw material movements tend to be ‘pass through’ in increases significantly during the trough of industry cycle
film prices ◼ Chinese players achieved a higher margin for a short period in
◼ Value Addition (VA/material margin) is dependent on second half of 2021 owing to supply constraints resulting from

Growth drivers include population growth, Demand driven by higher disposable income. Technological
increasing urbanization, changing developments are leading to accelerated demand in electrical,
demographics, trend towards nuclear families electronics and other industrial applications, along with new
and increase in purchasing power in applications like LiB for EVs, which is expected to further
developing countries increase demand
21
◼ The impact may be significant in China with moderate influence in other regions, as
Chinese players have typically focused only on the domestic market and select SEA
markets with standard products due to variety of reasons
◼ Excluding impact of China, the capacity utilization (CUF) rates are steadier with lower
variance in peaks and troughs

underutilization of older lines due to changing cost dynamics and impact of Covid-19 are
expected to positively impact the outlook on utilization rates
◼ Incremental demand over the next 6 years would exceed the new capacity added for
most of the key demand centers excluding China Capacity(KTPA)
◼ 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
22
Investment Under Implementation
Key Investment Rationale
◼ Post this investment, Polyplex will be the most cost competitive producer of Thin BOPET films in
the US
