BUSINESS OVERVIEW/OPERATIONS

 

Geographically, the Company has registered robust growth in all areas of its presence except in Thailand and Europe. Thailand suffered a severe nine month-long drought.

 

Besides, a change in the government policy on purchasing prices affected the liquidity of the farmers which adversely impacted corn planting, resulting in lower numbers for the Company. Europe slowed down due to uncertainty in the CIS region.

 

In the US, the Company’s strategy of transitioning from a private label to a branded one has resulted in incremental growth in the sorghum business. The Company has done excellent business in Mexico this year predominantly in Sorghum.

 

India also achieved creditable numbers as the Company’s forage business enjoyed a strong competitive position in some important markets. Some of its crops have emerged as trademarks thereby positioning the Company as a favoured choice among its customers.

 

PAC-740 hybrid is gaining a lot of popularity in the rain-fed markets of India for its wide adaptability and grain colour. Hybrid rice — a legacy crop of Advanta is gaining its due share in the Eastern and Northern markets.

 

With the vision of increasing productivity and net income of the Indian Vegetable farmers, UPL – Advanta group, with its flagship brand, Golden Seeds, is one of the major players of the Indian Vegetable Seed Industry. From a turnover point of view it is among the top 6 players in the industry. It has a dominant market share in tropical cauliflower, beet root, peas and is geared up to take a quantum leap in the highvalue segment of okra with the introduction of novel hybrids.

 

Business from Europe remained subdued primarily due to political crisis in Ukraine. However, the Company has received many products registrations across European countries, not only for sunflower but also sorghum. This should help the Company strengthen its position in Europe and de-risk its business from a dependence on a single crop as well as geography.

 

In Asia, they have doubled their volumes in the newly opened markets of Vietnam and grown in Indonesia despite supply chain limitations. Their dominance in the fresh corn segment in SE Asia continued in 2014. They work very closely with the provincial governments and developmental agencies in different PPP projects to improve farm productivity and farm incomes of small and marginal farmers in Asia.

 

In Africa, grain sorghum has shown a significant revenue growth of 26%. Their cutting edge hybrids have yielded 2 to 2.5 times more compared to the local varieties. This crop has one of the largest acreages in Africa and Advanta can provide Seed and Agronomic solutions to improve the yields significantly. They are working closely with various African Governments for developing this crop. Canola in the Middle East and Africa, the other important crop for this geography in which they have a leading position, has been a significant contributor to their revenue and margin growth in 2014.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK / PROSPECTS

 

The company with vast experience in seed production of major agricultural crops backed by a very strong in-house R&D program for crops corn, sorghum, sunflower, rice and several vegetable crops nurtured a competitive edge in seed and agribusiness.

 

Advanta has a great opportunity to develop its growth strategy through a combination of internally driven factors and external dynamics that have taken place in the industry today.

 

They will continue to focus and develop collaboration to capture wider set of resources and leverage on a particular market expertise. Also, in their specialty projects they will focus on developing those commercial partnerships, synergizing the Advanta’s and its partners capabilities throughout the integrated value chain.

 

The US: In the US, due to the transitioning from a private label to a branded one in sorghum growth is expected to continue. This will be complemented by the launch of new products from the R&D pipeline in the coming years.

 

India: India will be one of the major growth areas in the next five years or so. Corn, forage and some of the rapeseed business is going to grow in India and they believe that they have been capturing most of the opportunities because of their business structure and the way they enter the market.

 

UPL - Advanta after its transformation, has just started the new growth story within and outside the organization. With sound professional teams in place, they are all set to capture high market share and are striving to have their place in the top three vegetable seed companies of India. Their vegetable research strategy is focused on in-house breeding for tomato, okra, eggplant, hot pepper, cauliflower, gourds, watermelon and sweetcorn; and the rest through strategic tie-ups, to capture high market shares in okra, tropical corn and pepper.

 

Europe: The Company possesses a strong product portfolio comprising high oleic, high stearic sunflowers which position it perfectly to carve out a meaningful share over the years. Additionally, the Company is working to establish a strong presence in Russia and Romania. Further, the Company expects to get some of its most important products registered in early 2015 which should help augment sales.

 

Asia: Their cutting-edge research and technology development will continue to help in maintaining leadership position in South East Asia i.e., Thailand. Their focus markets beyond Thailand would be Vietnam and Indonesia where they have been growing rapidly and investing in supply chain and market development.

 

South Asia: Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are the other corn markets where they would continue to defend their leadership position.

 

Africa: This is expected to be an important growth area as Africa stands on the threshold of an agricultural revolution. The Company is working to realign its product portfolio to suit the agricultural and geographical factors.

 

Key crops and offerings for Africa include sorghum, sunflower, corn (white and yellow), canola, forages, rice and vegetables. The robust technology development process should enable us to expand rapidly across Africa.

 

Rest of the world: The Company expects Australia and Argentina among other developing nations to emerge as important growth drivers in the coming years.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL SEED INDUSTRY

 

The seed market is considered to be one of the most important segments of agriculture due to the rising food demand. Consequently, biotech seeds are being seen as products which improve returns on investment while responding to consumer demands for healthier and economical agricultural products by increasing per unit seed production and per hectare productivity.

 

The global seed market can be sub-divided into the following categories:

  • Oilseeds - soybean, sunflower, cotton, canola, mustard among others;
  • Grain seeds - corn, sorghum, wheat, rice, millet crops, among others;
  • Fruits and vegetables - tomato, cauliflower, melon, carrot, onion, pepper, lettuce, among others;
  • Other seeds - alfalfa, turf, clover, forage plants and flower seeds, among others.

 

North America generates the maximum revenues globally. Europe is the second largest market and Asia-Pacific stands third. The US drives the North American market while India and China drive the Asia-Pacific seed market. France generated the maximum revenues in Europe, followed by Germany. The Latin American market is led by Brazil while the rest of the world has received a boost following growth in certain African countries.

 

Brazil is the fourth largest market in terms of domestic seed demand, valued at nearly US$2.6 billion. It is also considered the fastest growing market for corn seed. The growth in seed demand is concurrent with a growing agricultural demand owing to the burgeoning population of the country as well as the growing export market. Brazil’s food commodity exports are considered critical sources of hard currency, resulting in growing importance of agriculture.

 

France is the 4th largest exporter of agriculture and agrifood products. Agrifood business is of great importance for the French economic growth and employs almost 6% of the French population. The French seed sector can attribute much of its excellent international reputation to good climatic conditions, crop diversity and ample output. During the 2012-2013 campaign, the sector exported US$1.9 billion worth of seeds, a whopping 15% increase from the previous year.

 

Optimism: According to the report, Seeds Market By Type (Oilseed, Grain, Fruit and Vegetable, Turf, Forage and Other Seeds), Seed Trait (Herbicide Tolerant, Insecticide Resistant and Other Stacked Traits) and Geography - Global Trends and Forecast To 2018, the seed market is pegged to grow from US$44,122.200 million in 2012 to US$85,237.600 million by 2018 with a CAGR of 12.1% from 2013-18.

INDIAN SEED INDUSTRY

 

The Indian hybrid seed sector, estimated to be worth Rs. 120000.000 Million comprises some 14 state seed corporations and two national-level corporations, 20 large players including multinationals and around 500 small regional players. About 10 domestic and multinational companies control over 80% of the market. The market has been growing at 15-20% annually over the past several years and is projected to reach around Rs.180000.000 Million by 2018.

 

Seed business in India in 2014

Erratic rainfall in India during the year affected crop sowing and the seed market.

 

The total sown area for kharif crops as on 10th October, 2014, stands at 102.660 Million hectares as compared to 104.947 Million hectares as on the same date in the previous year. Subsequently, kharif output was sub-optimal as per the first advance estimates of the Agriculture Ministry.

 

As per data released by the Directorate of Economics and Statistics, Ministry of Agriculture, total area coverage under rabi crops moved to 57.673 Million hectares while last year’s sowing area stood at 61.820 Million hectares. This was also a fallout of the inclement weather conditions in various parts of the country.

 

Recent trends

 

  • The hybrid seed sector is heading for its next round of consolidation as rising costs and increased price regulation squeeze margins of companies. Several large seed producers with deep pockets are hoping to acquire financially-strained or ‘technologically-rich’ smaller firms with a sizeable geographical reach and a distinct product portfolio.

 

  • There has been a shift in the business model from agrochemicals to seeds. As agrochemicals form the last component that goes into a farmer’s investment chain, there remains a lot of uncertainty. The largest advantage of selling seed is considerable pricing power to the company. Farmers have to buy new seeds every season. As a result, agro chemical companies are adopting various business models to establish a presence in the hybrid seeds space to offset a decline in turnover from agrochemicals.

 

Case for hybrid seeds

The food security legislation has put enormous pressure on India’s agricultural sector to produce more from a finite resource (land) without significantly impacting the water balance. This has only increased the need for increasing the use of hybrid seeds across various crops.

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Geographically, the Company has registered robust growth in all areas of its presence except in Thailand and Europe. Thailand suffered a severe nine month-long drought. Besides, a change in the government policy on purchasing prices affected the liquidity of the farmers which adversely impacted corn planting, resulting in lower numbers for the Company. Europe slowed down due to uncertainty in the CIS region.

 

In the US, the Company’s strategy of transitioning from a private label to a branded one has resulted in incremental growth in the sorghum business. The Company has done excellent business in Mexico this year predominantly in Sorghum.

 

Business in South America experienced a heartening growth despite some fiscal and devaluation challenges in Argentina, low commodity prices and issues regarding sowing.

 

India also achieved creditable numbers as the Company’s forage business enjoyed a strong competitive position in some important markets. Some of its crops have emerged as trademarks thereby positioning the Company as a favoured choice among its customers.

 

PAC-740 hybrid is gaining a lot of popularity in the rain fed markets of India for its wide adaptability and grain colour. Hybrid rice — a legacy crop of Advanta is gaining its due share in the Eastern and Northern markets.

It has a dominant market share in tropical cauliflower, beet root, peas and is geared up to take a quantum leap in the highvalue segment of okra with the introduction of novel hybrids.

 

The international business delivered strong growth with meaningful contributions from the various countries of their presence.

 

Business from Europe remained subdued primarily due to the political crisis in Ukraine. The devaluation of the Ukraine Hryvnia prevented the Company from moving its seeds to the farmers. However, in other parts of Europe, sunflower seeds garnered sizeable revenues. The other satisfying development was that the Company received many product registrations across European countries, not only for sunflower but also sorghum. This should help the Company strengthen its position in Europe and de-risk its business from a dependence on a single crop as well as geography.

 

In Asia, they have doubled their volumes in the newly opened markets of Vietnam and grown in Indonesia despite supply chain limitations. Their dominance in the fresh corn segment in SE Asia continued in 2014. They work very closely with the provincial governments and developmental agencies in different PPP projects to improve farm productivity and farm incomes of small and marginal farmers in Asia.

 

In Africa, grain sorghum has shown a significant revenue growth of 26%.Their cutting edge hybrids have yielded 2 to 2.5 times more compared to the local varieties.

They are working closely with various African Governments for developing this crop. Canola in the Middle East and Africa, the other important crop for this geography in which they have a leading position, has been a significant contributor to their revenue and margin growth in 2014.

 

Sorghum continues to be the biggest earner for the Company followed by canola, corn, sunflower and sweet corn, among others.

 

 

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

 

Revenues (including other income) stood at Rs.15190.500 Million in 2014 increased by 21% over 2013 on the back of business growth in key regions of the Company’s presence. The EBIDTA grew by 30% from Rs. 1944.700 Million to Rs. 2502.100 Million over the same period and the profit for the year increased by 88% from Rs. 444.800 Million in 2013 to Rs. 835.400 Million in 2014.

 

Business profitability improved on account of better realisation, optimised variable expenses and flat fixed costs. Consequently, the EBIDTA margin improved from 16% in 2013 to 17% in 2014; the net margin stood at 6% in 2014 against 4% in 2013.

 

Debt (net) increased from Rs. 8387.100 Million as on December 31, 2013 to Rs. 9371.300 Million as on December 31, 2014 to fund the incremental business. The management converted a significant portion of the rupee-denominated borrowings into dollar-denominated debt which optimised interest costs despite an increased reliance on external funds.
