Comments :

Subject was incorporated in the year 1970 and it is engaged as manufacturer of organic, inorganic, fine and specialty chemicals. Its product range includes agrochemicals, rubber, pharmaceuticals, paper, textile, detergent, petrochemicals to specialty and fine chemicals.

 

The company manufacturers bulk chemicals and commodities, fine and specialty chemicals and fluorescent whitening agents.

 

For the financial year 2017, the company has reported a dip in its revenue as compared to its previous year but has achieved decent growth in its profit margin at 8.59% during the year.

 

Rating takes into account the long operating track record of the company in the chemical industry, its diversified product mix as well as exposure to diversified end-user industries and the leading market position enjoyed by the company in most of its products in the domestic as well as global markets.

 

Rating also takes into account of its satisfactory financial base along with sound net worth position and average debt coverage indicators.

 

As per quarterly financials of December 2017, the company has achieved a sales turnover of INR 3,711.44 million and reported fair profit margin of 5.48%.

 

However, rating strength partially offset by vulnerability of its operating margins to volatility in raw material prices and its working capital intensive operations.

 

Trade relations are reported as fair. Payments seems to be regular and as per commitment.

 

In view of aforesaid, the company can be considered good for normal business dealings at usual trade terms and conditions.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

Deepak Nitrite Limited (‘DNL’ or ‘the Company’) is a prominent chemical manufacturing company. The Company manufactures Basic Chemicals, Fine & Speciality Chemicals and Performance Products.

 

 

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

 

The Financial Year (“FY”) 2016-17 was a challenging year on multiple fronts, and the Company has delivered a resilient performance indicating robustness of the business model. The emphasis on quality and sustainability of operations, widening of portfolio of products, active customer engagement, focus on profitable products and a healthy mix of end-user industries and markets served has enabled it to emerge stronger and better positioned to capture the opportunities ahead.

 

The performance in FY 2016-17 should be viewed in light of the several challenges faced. The wave of regional protectionism has spread across the developed world and has increased the pitch for supporting local production to preserve jobs and has thus impacted growth in export markets. These were coupled with BREXIT and instability in EU region. The lingering effects of the depressed crude oil prices and resultant impact on petrochemical intermediates also continued to exert pressure on growth. Furthermore, re-entry of Iran as a global crude supplier improved the availability of higher grades of crudes thereby impacting demand for fuel additive products. At the same time, prices of commodities were on the wane though they were thought to be reversing.

 

Apart from these developments, the Company encountered multiple headwinds in the form of temporary closure of one of the three units at its Hyderabad facility due to excessive flooding and the resulting issues related to pollution. The performance was further impacted by an accidental fire that broke out at one of the distillation columns of the Company’s manufacturing facility for Fine and Speciality Chemicals intermediates at Roha Industrial Estate in Maharashtra. Both these events impacted the volume off take of key products in the Fine & Speciality Chemicals as well as the Performance Products segments. Apart from these major events, demonetisation also impacted performance of some of the Company’s end user industries, which impacted the Company’s operations temporarily though it recovered swiftly.

 

Against this backdrop, the Company has reported a resilient performance in FY 2016-17. The Company recorded revenues at INR 12215.600 Million in FY 2016-17 compared to INR 13357.300 Million in FY 2015-16 and volumes declined by 4% due to one-time events which impacted the production as well as sales. That said, favorable product mix and aggressive marketing helped your Company to increase volumes towards the end of the year, especially in the established business segments partly offsetting this impact and enabling the Company to effect a turnaround from the impact of one-time events in October and November, 2016.

 

Further, your Company leveraged its strength to switch to enhance the volumes of value added products to mitigate impact from down-cycle of existing product categories.

 

Export markets contributed 39% to the total revenues, while contribution from domestic market came in at 61%. Export Revenue stood at INR 4708.400 Million in FY 2016-17, lower by 10.6% compared to INR 5257.500 Million last year a result of the multiple headwinds faced by your Company. Active efforts have been made by the Company to deepen its connect with customers in key export markets of Europe, USA and China. Going ahead, the Company will continue to work towards widening and deepening market presence to grow revenues from exports in absolute terms. Once the Phenol project is commissioned, the proportion of exports in overall revenue mix in the consolidated performance will reduce since Phenol and Acetone are meant for domestic consumption, being import substitution products.

 

Profit Before Tax excluding Exceptional Items stood at INR 759.000 Million as compared to INR 913.300 Million in FY 2015- 16. Apart from the revenue impact due to one time events, the Company incurred certain one-time expenses as well as higher depreciation due to increase in asset base. Profit After Tax excluding Exceptional Items stood at INR 533.300 Million in FY 2016-17 compared to INR 651.500 Million in FY 2015-16. Earnings Per Share (excluding Exceptional Items) for FY 2016- 17 stood at INR 4.55 per share (of face value of INR 2 each) on an enlarged capital base compared to INR 6.07 per share in FY 2015-16. The road ahead appears encouraging as the Company foresees several opportunities in the Indian chemicals space. Following the unforeseen events, the Company has now restarted all the facilities at Roha except one and is confident of restoring the growth momentum. It is anticipated that all the three SBUs viz. Basic Chemicals, Fine & Speciality Chemicals and Performance Products segment will contribute positively to the performance. The Company is confident of its prospects as the focus of strategies and efforts of the last few years has been to diversify and strengthen the business model and allow the Company to further elevate the growth trajectory by strengthening all of the growth engines.

 

 

A review of the performance during the year is given under the section “Management Discussion and Analysis Report”.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL SCENARIO

 

The Financial Year (“FY”) 2016-17 marked another challenging and eventful year for the world economy owing to sluggish global trade, subdued investment, heightened geopolitical uncertainty, regional protectionism and change of leadership in some of the leading global economies. There have been several impacting events like – election of new President in the USA, UK’s protectionism through BREXIT, potential political insulation of other EU economies, entry of Iran in global oil supply, missile and nuclear testing by North Korea, tension in Indo-Pak border – all these are expected to have serious impact on world trade and commerce. Amidst all these, global growth was 2.3% in 2016, which is projected to improve only marginally to 2.7% in 2017 largely on the back of recovery in emerging markets and select developing economies. Growth in these markets, as well as some developed economies, is expected to pick up in 2017 on the back of improved commodity prices, resumption in investments, improved consumer confidence and increasing consumption on the back of pent up demand. The lack of decisive improvement in the investment climate continues to weigh on the mediumterm prospects across many emerging markets and developing economies. However, fiscal stimulus and similar growth enhancing policies in major economies hold the potential to boost global growth above expectations.

 

Advances in major developed economies, including United States of America (USA) - the world’s largest economy, will have positive repercussions on the rest of the world. Acceleration in USA’s growth due to expansionary fiscal policies and the attempts to accelerate infrastructure spending could provide a major boost to the global economy. Major advanced economies reported muted growth at 1.6% in 2016 due to policy uncertainties, weak external demand and subdued productivity growth. While this is expected to recover in FY 2017-19, uncertainty around policies of the new administration in USA and United Kingdom’s (UK) decision to leave the European Union (BREXIT) will certainly influence the growth trajectory going forward. On the other hand, devaluation of Chinese Yuan, change in Chinese fiscal, business and social policies may play a major role in world commerce and economy.

 

Emerging markets and developing economies account for more than one-third of the global GDP and about three-quarters of the world’s population. Any slowdown in these economies can have a consequent effect on the developed nations. Weak investments in these economies pose a significant challenge. While policy priorities depend on country circumstances, policymakers are progressively employing full range of cyclical and structural policies to accelerate investment growth in these countries.

 

Emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) grew at an estimated 3.4% in 2016, broadly in line with expectations. This rate is expected to accelerate to 4.2% in 2017 and to an average of 4.7% in 2018-19. These economies are expected to account for about 60% of global growth for the first time since 2013. With an expected increase in commodity prices, particularly for crude oil, the divergence in growth outlook between commodity exporters and importers is set to narrow. The long-term prospects of EMDE would depend on host of aspects, the most prominent being uncertainty about global trade prospects and advanced economy policies, weakening in potential output resulting from subdued investment, lower productivity growth, and demographic factors.

 

Expected steady revival in global trade in 2017 and 2018 will be driven by likely rebound in import demand from large EMDEs. The pace of the recovery will, however, be slower than expected due to downward revisions of growth prospects in major advanced economies, persistent weakness in global investment, and slower trade liberalisation amid uncertainty about trade policy in the United States and Europe. While the overall trend for growth in the global economy continues to point upwards, the pace of growth is likely to be moderate in the immediate term.

 

DOMESTIC SCENARIO

 

During the first half of FY 2016-17, India’s growth was supported by strong private and public consumption, which compensated for the moderated fixed investment, sluggish industrial activity and continued slow down in exports. While the economy is yet to emerge from the cyclical downturn in infrastructure spending and asset creation, India is estimated to continue to grow at a lively pace of around 7% in 2017 supported by low oil and commodity prices and robust agricultural output. Overall consumption was accelerated during the year due to lower energy costs, public sector remunerations and favorable monsoons, which boosted urban and rural incomes. A surge in foreign direct investment (FDI) and an increase in public infrastructure spending positively impacted the economic activity in the country. However, the momentum was momentarily impacted to some extent by the ‘Demonetisation’ initiative, which resulted in short-term disruptions, however, government actions brought back the economy into normalcy post a successful demonetisation move and implementation. In addition to this, downsizing in private investment, reflecting excess capacity, corporate deleveraging and credit constraints owing to impaired assets of commercial banks’ had a cascading effect on the economy.

 

On the flip side, India witnessed passing of four crucial reforms namely Bankruptcy and Insolvency Code, 100% ownership in previously restricted sectors, Goods and Services Tax (GST) Amendment Bill and a monetary policy framework that includes setting up a monetary policy committee and agreeing on a flexible inflation target, with a 2% to 6% range. GST by far was one of the most critical reforms, which aims to streamline the country’s complex indirect tax structure, reduce fragmentation in markets for goods and services, lower business costs and widen the overall tax base. Additionally, a monetary policy framework including setting up a monetary policy committee would help enhance the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) operational independence, and help to anchor inflation expectations.

 

Over FY 2017-18, India is expected to be back on a strong growth path of 7.6% which would further strengthen to 7.8% in FY 2018 -19. A slew of reform initiatives undertaken in the past will unlock domestic supply bottlenecks and raise productivity. Adequate infrastructure spending inducing government expenditure would further improve the business climate and attract investments in the near-term. The Government of India’s ambitious ‘Make in India’ initiative would further augment the manufacturing sector backed by domestic demand and further regulatory reforms. Modest inflation as well as service pay hike to support real income and consumption backed by likely bumper harvests and favourable monsoons are expected to provide a fillip to economic growth. Sustained benefit of demonetisation will lead to liquidity expansion and enhanced tax network in the system thereby helping to lower lending rates and lift economic activity.

 

INDUSTRY TRENDS AND OUTLOOK

 

The global chemical industry has been expanding at a steady pace over the past couple of years. Emerging Asian markets have become a new manufacturing hub for the global chemical giants largely led by China where chemicals sales have increased manifold. While China continues to dominate the global chemical market, the recent slowdown in the country, as well as instances of pollution and plant shutdown, has taken a toll on chemical manufacturing. This has given a commanding market position to other chemical majors from rest of Asia. India is an obvious beneficiary of this development given its market position in the global chemical market.

 

The Indian chemical industry is one of the most established and rapid growing sectors for the country. It plays a vital role in the economic development thereby serving as a critical input for the industrial and agricultural development. This sector has always witnessed considerable growth in the past and is currently poised to further this momentum. The Indian chemical industry is the 3rd largest producer in Asia and 6th by output in the world. By 2020, the Indian chemical industry is projected to reach USD 226 billion. In terms of volume, the Indian chemical exports have shown a remarkable growth of 7.51% from 52.9 lakhs tonnes in FY 2014-15 to 56.9 lakhs tonnes in FY 2015-16, which is a positive sign.

 

India has become a global player in speciality chemicals, the market for which is expected to reach USD 70 billion by 2020. India’s speciality chemical industry is highly fragmented, and growth is largely governed by domestic demand and exports in select segments. These chemicals are witnessing increased usage in customer-related industries such as agrochemical, pharmaceutical, automotive and textiles, with higher consumer demand for better quality and superior products. Key drivers such as innovation and sustainability initiatives have become major factors that determine competitiveness and have become the foremost priority of producers. ‘Green Chemistry’ and environmental preservation initiatives are widely accepted by the global counterparts.

 

The road map appears promising as India’s chemical industry is poised for robust growth and investment on the back of solid domestic demand and robust export market. Key reform initiatives that would support growth in the chemical industry include the Government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative that has altered policies to boost investments in the country, including the chemical industry; National Chemical Policy which has created an enabling framework to accelerate manufacturing of chemicals in order to meet growing internal and external demands as well as reduce dependence on imports. The upcoming years will provide an opportunity for domestic industry players to gain scale and consolidate, while the international players may set up a robust manufacturing base in the country.

 

PERFORMANCE OF STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNITS

 

BASIC CHEMICALS

 

In Basic Chemicals (renamed from Bulk Chemicals and Commodities), your Company manufactures Nitro Toluenes, Ortho Toluenes, Fuel Additives, Sodium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrite. These chemicals are used for applications across colourants, rubber chemicals, explosives, dyes, pigments, food colours, pharmaceuticals, petrol & diesel blending and agrochemicals among others. These chemicals are supplied in high volumes and are subject to moderate margins. The Company manufactures these chemicals as per standard specifications, with superior quality through process excellence across each product. The focus is on cost leadership to drive volume growth and profitability.

 

In FY 2016-17, revenues for Basic Chemicals stood at INR 6345.700 Million compared to INR 6745.600 Million for FY 2015- 16. This segment contributed 51% to total revenues during the year, with EBIT margin of 14%. The volumes declined by 4%. While business of Fuel Additives was subdued during the year, the same production lines could have been utilised for producing other contributory products during the year which gave boost to the margin in this business segment.

 

FINE AND SPECIALITY CHEMICALS

 

The Fine and Speciality Chemicals segment comprises of niche products that require more value addition. Under Fine and Speciality Chemicals segment, your Company manufactures Speciality Chemicals, Xylidines, Oximes, Cumidines and Nitro Oxylene amongst others. These chemicals are used as intermediates in colourants, pigment, agro chemicals and pharmaceuticals. These products are customised as per specific customer requirements and manufactured in low volumes. As they are non-standardised products and enjoy higher value, the focus is based on quality of product, long-term relationships, stable and sustainable operations as well as global best practices for suppliers and customers.

 

Revenues from Fine and Speciality Chemicals stood at INR 3593.600 Million for FY 2016-17 compared to INR 3933.700 Million for FY 2015-16. This segment contributed 30% to the total revenues during the year. The EBIT margin stood at 23.7% in FY 2016-17. The performance in the Fine and Speciality Chemicals segment was impacted due to interruption in operations during the second half of FY 2016-17 owing to fire in one of the distillation columns.

 

PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS

 

Fluorescent Whitening Agent segment has been renamed to Performance Products segment in order to transform the product portfolio and include a wide range of products. Performance Products is an application chemical. Major constituent of this segment is Optical Brightening Agent (OBA), which is used in varied industries like Paper, Detergents, Textiles, Coating applications in Printing and Photographic paper. These products are offered to the customers as per their desired specification across liquid, solid and powdered forms. The Company is the world’s only fully-integrated manufacturer of Fluorescent Whitening Agent having vertical integration from Toluene to PNT and further into DASDA and OBA. The Performance Products segment has an innovation-led team in place and there are application labs in all segments for testing and post-sales support. Your Company has a wide network of global clientele for Performance Products supplies and it enjoys a competitive advantage over peers due to its vertical integration from Toluene to OBA. This helps your Company to customise raw material at each process depending upon the customer requirement, resulting in superior quality. Your Company would continue to benefit from the steady demand in the end-user industries, with better customer acceptance.

 

In FY 2016-17, revenues from Performance Products segment stood at INR 2400.900 Million compared to INR 2736.800 Million in FY 2015-16. This segment contributed 19% to total revenues during the year. The performance has to be seen in the light of the one-time incident in the form of plant closure due to excessive flooding in Hyderabad.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Going into FY 2017-18, the Company is positively placed to capture the growth opportunities arising in the end-user industries. After certain one-time events which impacted the performance in the year gone by, your Company has restarted all but one of the facilities and remains confident of getting back to normalcy. All your Company’s Strategic Business Units (SBUs) including Basic Chemicals, Fine and Speciality Chemicals, and Performance Products are expected to deliver accelerated growth in the forthcoming year owing to continued transformation in the product portfolio and steady recovery in demand.

 

Fine and Speciality Chemicals segment would lead the growth pack for the Company as a result of encouraging demand scenario in the global as well as domestic markets and higher contribution from recently launched personal care and pharma intermediates. This will be further supported by better off take in agrochemical intermediates due to increasing market share of agro-chemicals in the export markets as well as favorable agro-climatic conditions in the domestic market.

 

Performance Products segment which now includes a wide range of products is expected to demonstrate decent performance in the upcoming year led by several strategic initiatives undertaken by your Company in the past as well as better customer acceptance for Optical Brightening Agents (OBA). This will help improve the utilisation rates and profitability in the Performance Products segment.

 

In addition to the above initiatives, the Company expects the greenfield project of Phenol and Acetone to be commissioned in the last quarter of the current financial year thereby providing further stimulus for earnings expansion.
