Comments :

Subject tis a step down subsidiary of “Bayer AG”, Germany. The company was incorporated in the year 1958.

 

For the financial year 2017, the revenue of the company has increased by 2.04% along with decent profit margin of 9.87%.

 

The healthy financial profile of the company is marked by strong debt coverage indicators due to debt free balance sheet profile.

 

The rating takes into consideration the subject’s long established track record of business operations along with extensive experience of its promoters.

 

The company has favourable Earning Per Share (EPS) of INR 82.31 against a face value (FV) of INR 10.

 

Rating also takes into consideration strong financial and managerial support that the company receives from its holding entity backed by its well experienced management team.

 

The company has its share price trading at around INR 4087.40 against the Face Value (FV) of INR 10 on BSE as on March 19, 2018.

 

As per the unaudited quarterly financials of December 2017, the company has achieved revenue of INR 4797 million and has reported profit margin of 2.48%.

 

However, these rating strengths are partially offset by unfavourable gap between trade payables and trade receivables.

 

Business is active. Payment seems to be regular.

 

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

 

Note: As per indirect sources the subject's parent company Bayer AG is planning to acquire 26% stake in Monsanto India, held by public shareholders. Bayer had bid to acquire Monsanto in May 2016. Monsanto accepted Bayer's revised offer of INR 4356000 million (initial offer of INR 409,2000 million) on September 14, 2016. As a part of the proposed global transaction, Bayer will acquire all the shares held in Monsanto and its global subsidiaries (including those in India). Monsanto's 72.14% stake (held along with subsidiary, Monsanto Investments India Pvt Ltd) in Monsanto India Ltd (Monsanto India) will be transferred to Bayer on completion of the proposed global transaction, which is subject to regulatory clearances in various countries.

Notes:

  1. The Company has only one reportable business segment, i.e. "Agri Care". The Company’s business is seasonal in nature and hence quarterly figures are not necessarily representative of the full year's performance. 

  2. The Government of India introduced the Goods and Service tax (GST) with effect from July 1, 2017. Revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 is presented net of GST. Sales of earlier periods up to June 30, 2017 included Excise duty. Sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 includes Excise duty for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. 

 

  1. Current Tax for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 is net of Rs. 330 Millions towards reversal of provision for income tax matters on completion of assessment for earlier years. 

 

  1. The above results have been reviewed and recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on February 2, 2018. The above results have been subjected to limited review by the Statutory Auditors of the Company. 

 

  1. Pursuant to the approval of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders, the Company bought back 1,020,408 equity shares (representing 2.89% of the equity share capital) at a price of Rs. 4,900/- per share aggregating Rs. 4,999,999,200/- through tender offer route. The buyback was concluded on September 26, 2017, and 1,020,408 shares were extinguished on the same day. Pursuant to extinguishment of 1,020,408 equity shares, the Issued, Subscribed and Paid-up Equity shares of the Company are 34,333,593 as reduced from 35,354,001.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Mega-mergers between multinationals like Bayer and Monsanto threaten citizens’ rights

 

The world’s biodiversity shouldn’t be in the hands of the few. The EU must say no to mergers between multinationals to protect farmers and consumers. The op-ed by Navdanya International.

 

The only responsible decision the European Union can make is to stop the Bayer-Monsanto merger. However, the latest updates from the European Commission don’t seem promising. The deadline for the verdict of the merger between Monsanto and Bayer (which amounts to over 63 billion dollars) has been extended to the 5th April 2018. The European Competition Commissioner, Margrethe Verstager, who had already cleared the approval of other mergers including Dupont and DowChemical (estimated at 122-130 billion dollars) and Syngenta and ChemChina (43 billion dollars), has announced that Bayer is being cooperative in responding to issues raised by the competition watchdogs. Bayer, for instance, is also planning to sell its global vegetables seeds business and allow chemical giant BASF access to its digital farming data. Verstager’s statement therefore seems to point towards a green light for the approval of the merger.

 

Mega-mergers threaten farmers’ rights

 

The Commission, however, isn’t listening to the demands of hundreds of civil rights movements and farmers’ organisations around the world. Big agri-business mergers represent one more step into the wrong direction, because they are shifting power from small and medium farmers into the hands of multinational corporations which will eventually monopolise the agricultural as well as the food sectors. The process we are witnessing can no longer be considered a mere discussion on commercial competition, as suggested by Vestager, who pointed out that the role of the European Commission is not to block the merger but to ensure that this process doesn’t stifle competition. We’re in fact facing a political emergency with multiple devastating effects on the economy. Through patents, intellectual property rights (IPR) and free trade agreements, large multinational companies have established monopolies, threatening the rights of farmers to use their own seeds, the rights of people to access of affordable medicines and the rights of consumers to healthy and nutritious food.

 

Agrochemical giants’ monopoly

 

In little more than half a century, small farmers have been under attack in most parts of the world in order to favour the toxic production systems of industrial agriculture at every level. The six multinational corporations which control the production of seeds, pesticides and biotechnologies want to increase their power through international mergers.  If these mega-mergers get approved, within a short time only three companies will be in control of nearly 60 per cent of the world’s seeds and nearly 70 per cent of the agro-chemicals and pesticides.

 

It’s a strategy designed to extend the control of multinational corporations not only over our food but over our democracy too. Corporations are expanding their markets through mega-mergers while simultaneously increasing their influence and pressure on governments and institutions by addressing policy makers directly. Through aggressive propaganda they’re also undermining independent science to ensure that health and environmental regulations do not interfere with their profit-generating activities, which leads to a further erosion of our democratic principles. By expanding their monopolies on seeds, food, chemicals and medicines, multinationals are increasing their control over our food and our health. The negative impacts of this system affect mostly small and medium producers and low-income consumers.


 

Stop mergers to protect citizens

 

Regulatory agencies should therefore not approve the merger and protect their citizens. The planned merger was announced in September 2016 and it will need the approval of regulators of some 30 countries in which it would operate. Bayer still faces important investigations into the Monsanto affair, by regulatory agencies in the United States, the European Union and India. While Brazil, one of the main producers of cereals and other agricultural goods, has just given its approval to the proposed merger, Bayer decided to bring the Russian antitrust regulator to court. Igor Artemiev who is in charge of the Russian antitrust, has revealed that Bayer has sued the Russian control agency. Even in India, where the integration process is subject to the approval of the Competition Commission of India (CCI), the debate involves many actors from civil society. After the merger, India would be one of Bayer’s main markets for research and development, as stated by Richard van der Merwe, managing director of Bayer CropScience Ltd in India.  His goal is to obtain the approval of the CCI by May but the merger is expected to face stiff opposition in India, especially due to the negative impacts of GMO crops on the environment and the economy.

Expressing concern about the merger between Monsanto and Bayer, Indian activist Vandana Shiva has submitted her official objection to the Competition Commission of India: “The Bayer Monsanto merger is not an arithmetic issue of economic concentration. It is a political issue. If the mergers go through, it will be spelling the end of peoples’ rights, democracy and constitutional safeguards. In 20 years time Monsanto has illegally captured the cotton seed sector violating biosafety laws and corrupting regulatory agencies.”
