INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK (2014)

 

India is the second largest producer and consumer of Urea in the world. Urea is the most preferred fertilizer and constitutes about 72% of entire fertilizer consumption in the country. Urea is the preferred choice of farmers in India on account of its low farm gate price (fixed by government) and high nitrogen content. The demand and consumption of Urea has been growing and the gap in demand/supply is currently being met by imports. During FY 14, total Urea production in India stood at ~ 22.7 Million MT. 7 Million MT of Urea was imported into India during the year to meet the domestic demand.

 

In FY 15, Government has notified a revised policy for one year with a marginal upwards revision of fixed costs at Rs. 500 per MT. This is expected to partially compensate for the increased costs and reduce the under recoveries in FY15. We hope that the Government will take steps to finalize a long-term policy which will ensure long-term viability of the existing capacity and provide confidence to the industry to take steps to enhance e capacity levels and Help in reducing the country’s dependence on imports.

 

Our Strategy

 

The company has been focused on continuously improving its operating efficiencies and reducing energy consumption along with focusing on initiatives which will help in containment of fixed expenses.

 

Shriram Farm Solutions

 

Shriram Farm Solutions business provides a complete range of farm inputs which include the Value added inputs such as Seeds (GM, Hybrid and OP), Crop Care Chemicals (Insecticide, Fungicide and Herbicide), Soluble Fertilizers, Micro-Nutrients etc. and Bulk Fertilizers like DAP, MOP and SSP. The Company not only aims to provide wide range of quality inputs, but also strives to provide customized solutions which include providing customized inputs by leveraging local knowledge and creating package of practices which will help farmers in enhancing their levels of productivity and profitability. The business is supported by a strong extension program called the SKVP (Shriram Krishi Vikas Program). This program, apart from being an Agronomy services platform providing latest technology and practices to the farmers and the Channel, also focuses on meeting its social responsibilities. Some of the activities include education programs for girl child, providing Scholarships along with vocational training for women. They believe, that new technologies/practices need to be disseminated to the farmers which will help them in increasing yields/profitability by meeting challenges of Drought, pests etc. The company lays strong emphasison strengthening its customer interface which will help in capturing the evolving trends in Agriculture and leverage technology to enhance performance of the   Business, the Channel and the Farmer. The business is also supported by a strong distribution network which is present in 17 states, reaching ~ 0.4 Million farmers and ~ 30,000 retailers. The Company sells these Agri-Inputs under brand “Shriram” which is known for quality and has a strong brand image within the farming community.

 

 

Industry Overview and Outlook

 

The Year 2013-14 saw a good monsoon with comprehensive coverage. In some areas, excess and extended rainfall resulted in crop damage in khariff and late rabi. Value added inputs saw growth indem and but the rising in put cost resulted in pressure on margins.  In the Bulk Fertilizers (DAP/MOP), the industry started FY 14 with high inventory in the system. International prices dropped sharply due to lower purchase by major consuming countries. Abundant supply in domestic market resulted in higher discount and longer credit in the domestic market. However, due to good monsoon during the year, inventory in the country at the end of the season has reduced.   They expect that industry will continue to grow in FY 15 if monsoons are normal, although climate factors such as El Nino can impact performance. They do believe that this industry will witness healthy growth in medium long term due to strong demand for food in the next few years given the macro factors such as population growth, rising per capital income etc. As per industry estimates, the demand for food will touch ~ 330 Mn MT by 2020 and supply is projected to be about 280 Mn MT, resulting in shortage of ~ 50 Mn MT. With land area under agriculture stagnant at 140 Mn h.a, the country would need to improve the levels of productivity which would include adoption of superior products (Agri-Inputs) along with other initiatives.

“The Company witnessed a challenging operating environment in Q3’15 with sharp reduction in prices of Chlor-alkali, PVC, Cement and Sugar. The prices have seen some stability in Jan 15 at the reduced levels.

 

Crushing for Sugar season 2014-15 has started satisfactorily after U.P. State government announced a more reasonable cane pricing policy. They expect the same would be implemented in the right spirit going forward. There is however an need for policy measures to arrest the downward movement in Sugar prices

 

They are buoyant about the performance of our Bioseed India business. Bioseed overseas business is expected to take couple of years to achieve sustainable growth. They are confident of growth of this business given the strong research program and healthy pipeline of products

 

The Shriram Farm Solutions and Fenesta businesses continues to perform satisfactorily.

 

Their balance sheet is strong and can comfortably handle cyclicality in our businesses. Their Capital expenditure programs are on track and will add value to the businesses going forward.”

 

 

FERTILISERS:

 

  • Operating performance stable
  • Revenue higher on account of increase in gas prices, volumes were also up marginally
  • Improved profitability on account of energy savings and increase in reimbursement towards conversion costs by Rs. 500/MT under NPS III w.e.f. April 1 2014
  • Subsidy outstanding since Aug ’14

 

Outlook

 

  • Planned maintenance shutdown in end Q4 FY15
  • Increase in domestic gas prices has added to the higher subsidy outstanding

 

 

SHRIRAM FARM SOLUTIONS:

 

  • Volumes of DAP/MOP are lower vis-à-vis last year - in line with plan to optimize Bulk Fertilizers, as required to support ‘Value added inputs’ business
  • Value-added inputs’ revenues up 3.3% y-o-y, impacted by adverse weather conditions
  • Overall operating margins have improved, led by Bulk Fertilizers

 

Outlook

 

  • Company will continue to focus on growing the ‘Value added’ portfolio in terms of reach as well as offerings
  • High subsidy outstanding in Bulk Fertilizers continues to be an area of concern

 

BIOSEED:

 

  • Lower sales to farmers in international operations led to sales returns and inventory write offs
  • Lower sales led to lower profits and inventory write offs in International business, reflecting longer than expected time being taken to stabilize
  • Robust performance of Indian operation driven by growth in BT Cotton seed in Kharif ’14, partly moderated by lower offtake of Corn Seeds.

 

Outlook

 

  • Bioseed India expected to sustain growth – cotton seeds launched in South and Central markets gaining traction and will likely augment performance
  • Augmenting product portfolio and marketing efforts to drive growth in international operations – expected to take couple of years
  • Medium to long term outlook buoyant given continuing focus on research and pipeline of products
  • Performance of the business has seasonality, with Kharif being the major season in India

 

SUGAR:

 

  • Revenues down primarily due to lower sales volumes, which was a result of lower production in the last season, an Industry phenomenon
  • Sugar prices further softened in Q3 FY15, margins are negative even at operating level

  • Current season’s Sugar recovery trends so far better than last year

Outlook

 

  • Cane Policy for SY 2014-15 a step forward. Full implementation in right spirit will help

  • Chlor- Alkali and PVC (Vinyl) prices have declined significantly in Q3 over Q2 FY15, putting pressure on margins
  • There has been marginal reduction in input costs with decline in Salt prices and imported Coal prices

 

Outlook

 

  • The prices after witnessing a low in Dec ’14 have stabilized in Jan ‘15. Further movement linked to global developments
  • Company has renewed its focus on cost optimization

 

Cement:

 

  • Volumes up by 3% y-o-y; realisations increased by 4% vs. last year
  • Input costs continue to exert pressure on margins
