INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

Operations

 

The year gone by was a very eventful one with a strategic acquisition of Liberty Phosphate Limited, market leader in SSP segment, on the one side and a steep decline in demand for P and K fertilisers on the other side. Demand contraction was driven by near drought conditions in key addressable market states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra and steep increase in P and K fertilisers prices due to rupee depreciation. A very high disparity between Urea and Phosphates prices also impacted the demand for phosphatic fertilisers. These factors impacted sales volumes of the Company during the year, which in turn impacted adversely profitability of the Company for the year. The Company had under the adverse conditions, improved its market share in the primary markets and recorded a total revenue of Rs.86270.000 millions. Profit for the year before depreciation, interest and taxation was Rs.8020.000 millions and profit after tax was Rs.4440.000 millions. The Company also improved the financial performance of Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited (Sabero) with company turning in EBIDTA of Rs.508.000 millions as against (Rs.343.600) millions in the previous year.

 

Deficient monsoon during the year impacted other businesses as well viz., Crop Protection and Speciality Nutrients. With the acquisition of Sabero, Crop Protection business has expanded its product portfolio and increased the share of global business. The main thrust during the year was to integrate Sabero operations with the Company's business and enhance its presence in both domestic and global markets. These efforts have started yielding positive results with the formulations business registering a sales growth of 16% over the previous year. The business successfully redeployed the manufacturing capacity of Endosulfan plant to produce alternate products.

 

In Speciality Nutrient Business, while the adverse monsoon had impacted sulphur volumes, sale of Water Soluble Fertilisers registered a growth of 14%. In line with the overall strategy to enhance the Speciality Nutrients business the Company has adopted crop based approach for demand creation and also put in place dedicated sales force to improve the performance. Organic Manure business, despite adverse market conditions registered volume growth of 12%. The Company would continue to drive this business in helping the farmer to improve soil fertility.

 

Retail business, despite low off take of fertilisers, reported a 26% growth in non fertiliser products and the Company continues to focus on expanding its product portfolio. There are 550 outlets in the state of Andhra Pradesh and 96 outlets in Karnataka. The retail outlets have become the face of the Company and has helped in the increased sales of Pesticides and Speciality Nutrients. The Company's efforts are directed towards making these retail outlets a complete farm solution platform.

 

Subsidiary Companies:

 

Acquisition of Liberty Phosphate Limited and Liberty Urvarak Limited (Liberty group)

 

During the year, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with the erstwhile promoters of Liberty group and acquired 70,19,406 equity shares (representing 48.62%) of Liberty Phosphate Limited (LPL) at Rs.241/- per share.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Performance:

 

The fiscal year 2012-13 has been a challenging one for the Fertiliser industry. The high prices for DAP and Complexes relative to Urea and erratic south west monsoon have affected the application rates and fertilizer sales. This lowered consumption of DAP and Complex fertilisers has led to the inventory build-up across the supply chain resulting in a situation of oversupply. As a result, the industry as a whole recorded DAP sales of 91lakh tons and Complex sales of 73 lakh tons in 2012-13 which is 15% and 33% lower than previous year levels respectively. Coromandel's combined DAP, Complex and SSP fertiliser sales for 2012-13 was 21.50 lakh tons.

 

The total production of DAP, Complex and SSP in 2012-13 from Coromandel's production facilities was 18.57 lakh tons. The Company has slowed down production during the year to align with the market requirement and also to avoid excess inventory buildup. All four fertiliser plants have reported improved operational efficiencies and maintained safety and environmental standards. The timely purchase of raw materials and pro-active foreign exchange management has helped the Company to improve overall performance.

 

In 2012-13, the Company has repositioned the brands for its products and organized all chemical fertilisers under the flagship "GROMOR" brand and all organic fertilisers under the flagship "Godavari" brand. This rebranding exercise has been completed and launched with redesigned high quality bags. These efforts will further strengthen the brand equity of these brands which are currently measuring 6.7.Based on the brand re-launch and marketing efforts, Coromandel increased its market-share in AP, TN, KA and MH.

 

The Company completed the capacity expansion at Kakinada and commissioned the new third granulation train (C-Train) and all associated support facilities in 2012-13. The newly installed capacity at Kakinada will allow Coromandel to manufacture unique grades of fertilisers and provide value added products to the farmer. As part of its tie up with Shell for manufacture of Sulfur enhanced fertilisers, the Visakhapatnam plant successfully commenced trial production of 24:24:0:8S using Shell's Thiogro technology.

 

The Company has been investing continuously in meeting its obligations towards protecting the environment.

Towards this step, during the year the Green Visaka project was continued with the planting of over 20,000 trees.

Safety of the employees and the community is of paramount importance to the Company and in order to maintain a safe working culture in all its manufacturing locations, the Company has invested and improved the structural integrity at its Vishakapatnam and Ennore plants. The Company will continue to undertake investments in further improving the safety culture at its plants.

 

Outlook

 

Increasing urbanization, higher disposable income levels, growing population base to feed and changes in consumption patterns towards higher protein, fruits and vegetables intake will continue to be the long-term growth drivers for the agricultural inputs sector. The core long term demand drivers for the fertiliser industry remain steady with improving farm economics and rising thrust on irrigation. While the long-term demand side fundamentals are firmly in place, the short-term supply side fundamentals are continuing to emerge in India.

 

The pro-Nitrogen subsidy policy that is currently in place will continue to face pressure from multiple fronts – imbalanced nutrient application resulting in poor soil health and productivity, high fiscal deficit and industrial advocacy to name a few. The Government will continue to lower subsidies for the decontrolled fertilisers in the near term to reduce the burgeoning subsidy payments and reduce fiscal deficit. Substantial increase in Urea price and its eventual move to NBS is an need to correct nutrient use balance which has worsened over the last three years.

 

While the policy issues will continue to be debated and developed over a period of time, the Company has been actively planning to meet the long term demands of the agricultural inputs sector. With the recent commissioning of C-Train, the Company has positioned itself to be the leading Phosphatic fertiliser player in private sector in the country. In addition, the Company has improved its manufacturing facilities at Visakhapatnam and Ennore to ensure sustainable operations for the long-term. With these changes, the manufacturing base of the Company has been positioned to be capable of meeting the needs of the phosphatic fertiliser sector.

 

Further, the Company has been continuing to pursue strategic alliances for raw material supply. The TIFERT JV project in Tunisia has been commissioned and is expected to commence supply soon. In addition, the Company will continue to actively scout for other raw material and backward integration opportunities.

 

In the Crop Protection Business, the Company will continue to focus on specialities and will scale up formulation sales based on captive technicals including additional range being manufactured by Sabero. The Company is also actively expanding its global footprint by leveraging Sabero and will continue to increase its presence in Latin America, Africa and South East Asia. In addition, the Company will continue to maintain a global focus and increase its reach by increasing its portfolio of global registrations.

 

The Specialty Nutrient Business will continue to be a growing business segment. Increased consumption of high value products like fruits and vegetables resulting from rising income levels will be the primary engine behind growth in this segment. Acreage under drip irrigation will continue to increase and drive the usage of Water Soluble Fertilisers (WSF). This business segment will assume a crop based focus and expand its basket of offerings by leveraging its joint venture with SQM.

 

The Rural Retail Business will continue to be the face of the Company in rural India. In 2012-13 the Company has restructured its retail footprint - Mana Gromor Centers in Andhra Pradesh and Namma Gromor Centers in Karnataka - by repositioning some existing outlets.In addition to these outlets being the primary source of cash sales of agri-inputs, the retail outlets are vital to the dissemination of scientific agricultural techniques and will continue to host webinars to connect the farmers to the scientific community.
