OPERATIONS

 

After experiencing two difficult years, fertiliser industry’s performance improved during 2014-15, on account of normalisation of pipeline inventories, relatively stable currency rates and modest global prices of fertilisers and key inputs. The industry sales for DAP and complex fertilisers recovered moderately by 12%. However, the farm sector was impacted by deficit monsoons, lower reservoir levels, falling crop acreages and declining agri commodity prices in key markets.

 

The Company leveraged its strengths to post significant growth during the year, by offering its complete portfolio of agri-inputs, comprising of fertilisers and organic manure, crop protection products and speciality nutrients. Further, the Company continued expansion of its rural retail footprint in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka to about 800 stores and improved its performance by growing the non-fertiliser business and increasing its realizations.

 

During the year, the Company has strengthened its market leadership position in complex fertilisers segment, growing the volumes by 32% and improving its market share from 23% to 26%. The overall market share in Phosphatic segment improved from 16% to 16.3% with a healthy volume growth of 15% over last year. The brand equity index in key markets has seen a turnaround, which resulted in increased market share in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Maharashtra. The year saw establishment of Divisional Marketing Offices to improve customer interface and response time. With the setting up of focused Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance and HR support services at the regional level, it is expected that decision making and customer servicing will improve going forward.

 

On the Operations front, the Company effectively managed phosphoric acid availability to improve its capacity utilization. Fortified products like 24:24:0:8S and Zincated DAP were introduced during the year and production was successfully stabilized. Vizag plant operations, which were affected by Hud hud cyclone in October 2014, were efficiently handled and impact was minimized with nil injury to workmen. The Company continued its focused commitment towards improving plant safety, and ensured Total Recordable Injury Rate per million man hours (TRIR) of the fertiliser units is less than 1.

 

Crop Protection division strengthened its Exports business to key markets in Latin America (LATAM) and Europe and posted significant growth during the year. Domestic formulations business, though impacted by season failure, continued to improve its brand equity through umbrella branding “Gromor Suraksha”. The Company established a China desk for improving its sourcing efficiency, marketing, registration, technology partnerships and market information capabilities. To bring focus to product synthesis and new molecule development, an R and D Centre has been set up in Hyderabad. The facility will be used to establish new product pipeline on a continuous basis to meet global business needs and growth aspirations.

 

During the year, Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, was merged with the Company, pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation approved by the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad for the State of Telangana and the State of Andhra Pradesh and the High Court of Gujarat. The synergy of both the businesses will be leveraged to strengthen technical product portfolio and improve penetration globally.

 

The Company continues to be among the market leaders in Water Soluble Fertilisers (WSF) and Sulphur product segments. During the year, Speciality Nutrients business strengthened its crop based promotion approach through launch of “Gromor Sampoorthi” initiative. The initiative aims at providing complete crop specific nutrition solution to maximize farmer’s yields through adoption of Speciality fertilisers. Business also leveraged strengths of its joint venture partner SQM, to introduce crop specific WSF grades and developing crop knowledge.

 

Retail business, despite low off take of fertilisers, reported growth in non fertiliser products. A number of new initiatives were introduced during 2014-15 to improve process efficiencies and facilitate long term growth. This has led to a growth in Retail margins by 12.5% over the previous year levels. Their retail outlets, spread across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, have become the face of the Company and received many prestigious awards during the year, in recognition of its contribution to agriculture and business performance in rural retail.

 

The Company enhanced its geographical presence in Northern and Western region post acquisition of Liberty Phosphate Limited in 2013-14. During the year, SSP business consolidated its operations to maximize synergy out of the combined team. As a result, sales volumes improved by 1.5%, inspite of severe crop losses in key operating markets. Specific focus was given to strengthen brand building initiatives for integrating Double Horse brand with Gromor through mass media campaigns.

 

During the year, the Company entered into a joint venture (JV) with Yanmar and Mitsui, for manufacturing and marketing farm implements - rice transplanters and combined harvesters. With reducing resources and dropping yields in India, the Company is now suitably positioned to offer cost effective solutions to farmers to improve their crop productivity. The JV will be leveraged to develop equipment, tailored for Indian farm requirements and scale up its Farm Mechanization Services operations.

 

The Company has recorded a total revenue of Rs.113410.000 Million. Profit for the year before depreciation, interest and taxation was Rs.9080. Million and Profit before tax was Rs.5920.000 Million. Net Profit after tax was Rs.4030.000 Million.

ECONOMIC REVIEW

 

As per the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects release, the globl economy recovered marginally in 2014 to 2.6%, from 2.5% in 2013. The stable growth in US, continuous and steady revival in UK and picking up of growth in India have been the key factors for keeping the global economy afloat. This more than offsets the conscious slowdown efforts by the government in China and the weak growth in Japan and Euro Zone. The world economy is still struggling to gain momentum as many high-income countries continue to grapple with the legacies of the global financial crisis. China being the biggest consumer of commodities, its slowdown had a bearing on the global commodity prices. All three industrial commodity price indices (energy, metals and minerals, and agricultural raw materials) experienced decline during the year. Due to rising demand supply mismatch, crude prices in 2014-15 have plummeted by more than 50%. Going forward, World Bank has projected that the global economy would continue to revive and is expected to grow at 3.0% in 2015 and 3.3% in 2016. Soft commodity prices and persistently low interest rates would act as a support to the global growth. However, increasingly divergent monetary policies across major economies, weak world trade and geo political disturbances would act as a downward risk to growth.

 

India, on the other hand, experienced a positive business environment after two years of sub-par economic growth. 2014- 15 has seen a rebound and economy has grown by 7.3% (based on the revised base to 2011-12 from earlier 2004-05).         

 

Backed by persistent efforts by RBI and further supported by significant fall in crude prices, India during the year has witnessed rapid cooling off in inflation. From near 6% at the start of the year, WPI has entered negative territory and as of March 2015 it stood at -2.33%. The current account deficit has also further contracted from 1.7% of GDP in 2013-14 to an estimated 1.3% in 2014-15. Forigen portfolio inflows (US$ 40.8 billion) have stabilized the rupee, exerting downward pressure on long-term interest rates, reflected in the yield on 10 year government securities, and contributed to the surge in equity prices. Capital inflows in 2014-15 remained strong and RBI’s continuous intervention in the forex market led to sizeable accretion to the dollar reserves.

 

Going forward, continuous policy level reforms backed by healthy macroeconomic parameters such as low inflation, stable exchange rate and lower current and fiscal deficit would further strengthen India’s recovery in 2015-16.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Global fertiliser industry is witnessing a move towards downstream integration and capacity addition. By 2018, close to 200 expansion projects are expected to come on stream, increasing the global capacity by 18% over 2013 levels. China’s move towards a fixed tariff structure is likely to increase its export of N and P fertilisers. Falling crude price and stable raw material outlook is expected to improve the availability of fertilisers in the coming years.

 

Domestically, the fertiliser industry is likely to register moderate growth in 2015-16 on account of improved crops MSPs and reduction in pipeline inventory. Raw material cost is projected to be stable, keeping a check on the input costs.

 

Coromandel’s focus for 2015-16 will be on improving its market share in Complex Fertiliser segment. The strategic shift that the Company took towards manufacturing low “P” grades over DAP and ring fencing through multiple channels, has helped in shaping its growth in 2014-15. The Company intends to continue the same approach to maximize production and develop market for the Complex grades, going forward. Fortified fertilisers, Zincated DAP and 24:24:0:8S, will be positioned in Zinc and Sulphur deficient pockets to improve acceptability and response of the product. Geographical expansion in North markets and supply chain improvement will be taken up during 2015-16.

 

With the Divisional structure in place, Coromandel has moved closer to the market. The Company plans to leverage the strength of this team for faster decision making and move towards Bottom up planning. To pursue the above strategy, the Company has planned an extensive training and development program to enhance the capability of its human capital. Empowering field force with advanced technology to reduce turnaround time and tools to measure their productivity will be the key to drive these initiatives.

 

Despite multiple challenges such as resource scarcity, raw material limitations, and handling unforeseen natural calamity, Coromandel has made significant strides in 2014-15 to position the business on longterm

growth. The Company will continue to focus on maintaining cost leadership in the industry and develop innovative means of production and marketing to further strengthen its business. Coromandel has moved from unit-specific grades of fertilisers to full flexibility in manufacturing different fertiliser grades at all the units. Coromandel will enhance the production of fortified products for the benefit of farmers and for improving the soil productivity.

 

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’s strength and will further increase its presence in Latin America, Africa and South East Asia. In addition, the Company will maintain its global focus and improve its reach by increasing its portfolio of product registrations. The Company will

leverage its presence in China for procurement, developing vendors for new products and technologies. It has also planned to achieve higher sales and customer development for Brazil and other key markets.

 

Speciality Nutrients business, with focus on improving agricultural productivity, is well positioned to meet the growing customer expectations of increasing their profitability through cost reduction and yield maximization. Higher coverage under drip irrigation and adoption of Fertigation provide excellent opportunity in the fast growing water soluble fertiliser segment. For the year 2015- 16, the overall business strategy is to develop crop and region domain expertise in terms of products and solutions. Strength of their JV partner, SQM, will be leveraged to generate crop based knowledge, products and schedules.

 

The Retail focus in 2015-16 is going to be on “Fruition through Efficiency”. Strengthening Multi brand and expansion of range assortment in all categories will be a key focus area. Supply Chain improvements and extensive promotion of “Gromor Nutrient Manager” to improve farmer returns will be the main enabler to increase fertiliser sales. The Company plans to scale up the Farm Implements and Farm Mechanization Services in 2015-16. Product schemes and analytics integrated customer loyalty programs, launch of alternate delivery models and offering Farm Credit through Gromor Centres by tying up with banks and financial institutions will further improve customer value proposition.

 

In the current business environment, the Company will continue to maintain strong focus on working capital levels to reduce interest costs and unlock cash from trade channels. The Company will also actively manage foreign exchange exposure and optimize positions to reduce downside risk to the business.

PRESS RELEASES

 

1st July 2015

 

A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company will be held on Monday, July 27, 2015, inter alia, to consider and approve the Un-audited Financial Results of the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

 

22 May 2015:

 

The SEBI order linking Mr A. Vellayan, Chairman of the Murugappa Group, to trades by two individuals in shares of Sabero Organics Gujarat Limited, a company that was acquired by Coromandel International Limited. in May 2011, is based merely on suspicion and is a far-fetched tenuous conjecture.

 

The only purported link sought to be made by SEBI between Mr. A Vellayan and these transactions is that one Mr. A. R. Murugappan is a distant relative (son of a grand aunt) and had had a property transaction with Mr. A Vellayan way before the Sabero transaction was even thought about. SEBI has jumped to the conclusion that the trades could potentially be attributed to suspected communication of unpublished price sensitive information about the Sabero deal by Mr. A Vellayan to this distant relative.

 

The link drawn in this interim Order is not a conclusive finding. Mr. A Vellayan is resolute in defending the serious harm to reputation caused by this Order and will take appropriate action as legally advised. He is keen to also demonstrate bona fides and will extend full cooperation to SEBI to complete investigations expeditiously, apart from seeking redress against the premature measures adopted.

 

In keeping with family values and tradition, he has stepped aside from the Chairmanship of the Murugappa Group Corporate Board and of Coromandel International Limited and EID Parry India Limited until this matter is resolved.
