Subject is a well-established company having fine track record.

 

The ratings draw strength from company’s experienced management team, its established and diversified presence in the agrochemical and pigment industry with integrated production facilities and strong marketing and distribution network and comfortable capital structure.

 

The rating also factor in improvement in financial risk profile along with improved profitability trend over the years.

 

The ratings are, however, constrained by company’s working capital intensive nature of operations, risks associated with the fluctuations in raw material prices and foreign exchange rates.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Business Segments

At Meghmani, each of the businesses is witnessing strong growth drivers through: focus on value added offerings in Pigments (Beta Blue) and Agrochemicals (branded agro products), recent diversification into Caustic Potash with an investment of 650 mn to be financed from internal accruals and monetization of the CRAMS opportunity in Agrochemicals. The improved performance and better utilization of capacities augurs well for strengthening of the balance sheet with reduction in debt and efficiency in working capital management.

In terms of end use, three main industries i.e. paints & coatings, plastics and printing inks account for ~90% of the market. Within end use markets, the paints & coatings industry takes away major share of the global pigments market, accounting for 38.5% of the overall market. This is mainly due to growth in this industry along with the preference of consumers towards unique optical effect colors in certain segments such as automobiles. The global paints & coatings industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during 2013-2018.

 

Asia Pacific region to remain the fastest growing

The Asia Pacific pigments market revenue is expected to reach $6.4 bn by 2018. Major factors fuelling the growth are increasing spending capacity of consumers along with preference for high end products with attractive packaging. In Asia-Pacific, India and China are the important countries contributing towards the growth of the market.(Source: Transparency Market Research)

 

Within Asia Pacific region, Organic pigments demand is expected to reach 316.2 thousand MT by 2018, at a high CAGR of 6.6% from 2013 to 2018. The demand for Organic pigments will increase in inks and coatings as thesen have an ability to provide intense and bright colors.

 

Other regions, such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South America, will see demand rise by more than 3% p.a. and thus contribute to the positive development of the pigment industry. The rather saturated markets in Western Europe and North America are expected to return to a growth path after suffering losses in the past couple of years. (Source: Crersana)

 

Indian Pigments

There has been a notable transition in the global arena during the last 2-3 decades in the manufacturing base of colorants, with a shift in production from Europe, USA and Japan to Asia viz. China, India, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia, etc. With decline in production in most of the traditional centers, non-traditional centers like India and China are now preferred sources for supply of colorants to the global market. Exports account for ~75% of the Indian colorant industry.

 

Business Overview

Meghmani is one of the largest Phthalocyanine-based pigment manufacturers with a global market share of ~7% in terms of quantity. The Company has vertically integrated facilities manufacturing CPC Blue (a downstream product also sold to other pigment manufacturers) and end products: Pigment Green and Pigment Blue. These pigment products are used in multiple applications including paints, plastics and printing inks.

 

We have three dedicated manufacturing facilities to manufacture Pigment products located at (1) GIDC Vatva, Ahmedabad (2,940MTPA)where Pigment Green 7 products is manufactured; (2) GIDC Panoli, near Ankleshwar (17,400MTPA), where CPC Blue, Alpha and Beta Blue, Pigment Blue 15 products are manufactured and (3) Dahej SEZ Limited (10,800MTPA) where CPC Blue, Alpha and Beta Blue is manufactured.

 

The Pigment division derives ~80% of its net sales from exports. The customers comprise mainly MNCs which are leading players in their respective industries. Our relationship with our clients is sticky with 90% business from repeat customers. The Company has a global distribution network with 70 overseas distributors; subsidiaries in the US, Europe, Indonesia and Dubai and representative office in China. We also have warehouses in Belgium, Turkey, Russia, USA and Uruguay.

 

Performance of Pigment Business

Net sales from Pigment business increased to 4,244 mn in FY15, up 7.5% YoY. Major contribution came from Dahej SEZ unit which operated at a reasonable scale for the first time. Margins also improved due to rationalization of the product mix with commissioning of the new SEZ unit.

 

Strategy of the Company

We have forayed into the untapped Japanese market with Hysol solvent based Pigments, which is preferred over pigments manufactured by other materials. The Company’s Dahej facility is fully equipped to manufacture Hysol solvent based Pigments. Over the medium term, we aim to benefit from increasing utilization at our Dahej facility.

 

We will also focus on value added products and have few products such as Beta blue 15:4 and 15:2 in advanced stages of Research and Development. Additionally, we plan to increase presence in the high growth and high margin paints and plastics market leading to better margins.

 

Risks, Concerns and Threats – Pigments

Fluctuating and volatile prices of key raw materials coupled with an increasingly stringent regulatory environment, are critical challenges to this industry. Since we derive significant portion of our business from exports, volatility of the Rupees vis-à-vis Dollar and Euro may affect our realizations. We also face competitive pressures, including competition from Chinese manufacturers who have installed large scale plants for pigments. We compete in quality, technical competence, backward integration, logistics facilities, after sales service and customer relationships. Changing competitive environment may impact our business and future prospects.

 

II. Agrochemicals

 

Industry Structure

Industry breakdown by categories

There are broadly 5 categories of crop protection products:

  • Insecticides: Manage the pest population below the economic threshold level
  • Fungicides: Prevent the economic damage due to fungal attack on crops
  • Herbicides: Prevent/ inhibit/ destroy the growth of unwanted plants in a crop field
  • Bio pesticides: These are derived from natural substances like plants, animals, bacteria and certain minerals.       These are non-toxic & environmental friendly
  • Others (Fumigants, Rodenticides, Plant growth regulators etc.): Fumigants and rodenticides are the
  • chemicals which protect the crops from pest attacks during crop storage. Plant growth regulators help in
  • controlling or modifying the plant growth process and are usually used in cotton, rice and fruits.

 

Global Market to reach $ 243 bn by 2018

The global population currently stands at 7 bn, and is expected to rise to 9.3 bn by 2050. This will require increase in global food production by 70% in order to meet the rising demand. Globally, up to 40% of crop output is lost due to attack of pests, weeds and diseases. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to use crop protection chemicals. Use of crop protection chemicals can increase crop productivity up to 50%.(Source: Agrochemicals Report, Tata Strategic Management Group and FICCI)

 

Global Agrochemical market is expected to grow from an estimated $204 bn in 2013 to $243 bn by 2018, at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2013 to 2018. Asia-Pacific leads the market for Agrochemicals followed by Latin America, North America and Europe. (Source: Markets and Markets)

 

Growth is expected to be driven more by realizations than volumes, owing to the increasing cost of pesticides. Presently, the cost of innovation and registration of an active ingredient is about $200 mn, 25% increase from 2000.The pressure, therefore, is for the agriculture industry to increase yields per acre, which can be achieved through increased usage of agrochemical products. Also companies globally are focusing on Research and Development and product innovation to survive intense competition.

 

Agrochemicals for enhancing food and nutrition security of India

At 1.2 bn, India is the second most populous country after China and is expected to surpass China by 2028. However, Indian agriculture is facing a critical challenge of maintaining food and nutrition security for the burgeoning population. Moreover, increasing urbanization, reduction in arable land, decreasing farm size, low per hectare yield as compared to global average and increasing pest attacks further strengthen the need for agrochemicals.

 

The Indian crop protection industry was estimated at $4.3 bn in 2014 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% to reach $7.5 bn by 2019. Exports currently constitute almost 50% of Indian crop protection industry and are expected to grow at a high CAGR of 16% to reach $4.2 bn by FY19, resulting in 60% share in Indian crop protection industry. Domestic market on the other hand would grow at 8% CAGR, as it is predominantly monsoon dependent, to reach $3.3bn by FY19.India ranks fourth as a supplier of agrochemicals in the global market, after USA, Japan and China hereby indicating the significance of agrochemical industries in India. (Source: Agrochemicals Report, Tata Strategic Management Group and FICCI)

 

The Indian crop protection market is dominated by Insecticides with 60% share. Fungicides and Herbicides are largest growing segments accounting for 18% and 16% of total crop protection chemicals market.

 

India’s agrochemical industry can be divided into producers of technical agrochemicals - the bulk actives - and formulators who compound actives in forms that enable use. In India there are 125 technical grade manufacturers, 800 formulators producing the end products, 145,000 distributors and end use customers. Most Indian technical manufacturers are focused on off-patent pesticides. More than 60 technical grade pesticides are being manufactured indigenously.
