Institutional Equities Coromandel International 2QFY20 Result Update Reuters: CORF.NS; Bloomberg: CRIN IN Upgrading to Accumulate on revised earnings, TP Coromandel International (CRIN) positively surprised the street with better than expected 2QFY20 results despite the delayed monsoon. During the post-results conference call CRIN management sounded upbeat on future prospects in nutrients and crop protection chemicals businesses. The company was especially positive on the 2HFY20E outlook based on an extended Kharif season and prospects for a robust Rabi cropping season supported by near full reservoir levels and expectations of a normal northeast monsoon. Based on these factors, we are upgrading our rating on CRIN from Sell to Accumulate after raising our TP 23.4% to Rs468 using 14x PE on revised Sept 21E EPS (0.34% up from CMP). Raising earnings by 19.4%/24.9%/21.5 over FY20-22E: This is based on i) revised assumptions on CPC business growth and margins as well as ii) improved unit margins for nutrients business and iii) lower interest costs following the sharp 42% reduction in debt as a result of 23% fall in subsidy receivables and 22% fall in inventories. 2QFY20 results conference call take-away: Coromandel management sounded positive on growth prospects in both Nutrients and CPC segments after posting good results that beat street and our expectations. The company’s prospects in 2QFY20 were boosted by adequate rainfall and improving trend in acreage sown in August-September, which made up for the delayed monsoon and weak sowing trend in July. The 0.1 mn tonne additional train for phosphoric acid (PA) was completed in September and is running from this month. As a result, the Vizag unit is now 100% on captive PA, while the need for imports has now reduced to 0.55 mn tonne. This increase in captive PA production will result in additional value addition of US$100- 120/tonne. Management also expects better prospects for the CPC business based on 4 new products launched YTD FY20 and further new launches in the offing across technical grades as well as formulations, especially in the B2C segment. Subsidy and receivables: Subsidy receivable is down from Rs23.93bn to Rs18.48bn and the company has received subsidy payments worth Rs7.2bn vs. Rs2.2bn a year ago. As a result, gross debt has declined by 42% to Rs17.25bn. Core interest expense before the IND-AS impact has shown a decline. However, this benefit has been partly offset by the additional interest on lease liability applicable this year as a result of lease accounting changes. Notwithstanding this, we expect the company to benefit from the lower interest expense on the reduced borrowings. Capex: The capex over FY20E is estimated at Rs5bn. This includes Rs2bn on the phosphoric acid capacity expansion and Rs1.2bn on CPC. The balance amount is towards normal maintenance capex. CPC business: The plan going forward is to set up multipurpose plants for technical grades and formulations as well as securing raw materials and technology for key technical grades from potential innovator partners from Japan, China or Germany with whom the company is in discussions. The company is aiming at new launches on its own and through co-marketing tie ups based on its own R&D initiatives and those sourced from innovator partners. Management is also looking to strengthen the company’s presence in B2C in the overseas market. The company is expecting CPC segment revenues for FY20 to be flat YoY while maintaining margins at par with 2QFY20 levels. The operations at Sarigam have stabilized after resuming in the middle of 2Q. CRIN admitted that Mancozeb sales is likely to be under pressure because of weak dispatches YTD and it is unlikely to pick up in the near term.

The positives for the stock have been largely priced in following the stock’s sharp surge post results and the 22.08% rise over the last 1 year.

Our target multiple of 14x at a 10% discount to 5 year median PE, in our view captures the risk reward in the stock based on our assessment of positives and concerns.

Positives

The healthy outlook for the 2H for nutrients and Indian sales (55%) of CPC is based on the spill-over of fertilizer and pesticide purchases for the Kharif crops in 3QFY20.

Management expects the all-time high reservoir levels and normal northeast monsoon to support a robust outlook for fertilizer and CPC sales for the Rabi crops in the next six months – especially 4Q.

National reservoir water storage levels have touched 89% of capacity vs. the long term average level of 72% and 71% YoY, following the pick up in the southwest monsoon in August 2019. In AP and Telengana, the two focus states for CRIN, the water storage levels are at 100%.

The reduction in working capital following the receipts of subsidy dues has helped the company to reduce debt from Rs29.5bn in March 19 to Rs17.2bn by September 19. The dramatic improvement in subsidy receivables is a result of the Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme stabilizing (based on products sold at the retail end registered in the POS machine). This according to the company will involve only a one month lag and it is settled without any backlog unlike the government system, under which there is a perennial backlog of subsidy dues at any given time.

Concerns

Dependence on monsoon is a key risk that could impact demand outlook for both nutrient and CPC segments. This makes it difficult to make year on year forecasts; at best one could make estimates assuming normal monsoon and stable farmer incomes and factor in the downside risk in the valuations. Also, we would be a bit cautious on the working capital cycle as volatility in global input prices could result in material movement in inventory and trade receivables.

The CPC business especially for technicals has become very competitive while rising input costs and availability of critical raw materials pose a challenge, especially given the curtailment of production of agrochemicals in China and the ongoing US-China Tariff war.

Health, safety concerns and regulatory surveillance are added challenges for the CPC segment.

The company has 65-70% of its CPC revenues coming from technicals and Mancozeb is a key product in its portfolio. The rising input costs and weak outlook for Mancozeb prices will put pressure on CPC margins in the short term until the company is able to ramp the share of higher value molecules and formulations as well as increase the share of the B2C segment.

The company’s plan to expand the CPC business in future could entail the potential increase in receivable and inventory which could increase the working capital requirements.

Key highlights from CRIN conference-call

Monsoon and policy overview

There was a decent pick up in the monsoon in August after a dull start with rainfall 16% above the five year average. This helped maintain the kharif season crop sowing at par with last year. CRIN’s key markets, AP and Telangana, witnessed 1% YoY growth in crop sowing. Reservoir levels stood at 89% of the total capacity and was higher by 24% vs. Long Period Average levels (LPA) and 25% higher YoY. However, the dull start to the kharif season extended the sowing period till October which is in favor of CRIN.

Benefit from “Rythu Bandhu” scheme for key market, Telangana, has been extended up to Rs13,500/acre per year from Rs10,000/acre per year to assist the farmers for agricultural inputs.

With the introduction of Phase II of direct benefit transfer (DBT 2.0) by the government, claim settlement is faster in comparison to Phase I. Currently, Government is working on a pilot for DBT 3.0 to disburse fertilizer subsidies to farmers in their e-wallet accounts before the commencement of a season each year.

Upcoming irrigation projects in CRIN’s key markets AP and Telangana are expected to cover a combined 4 lakh hectares of land. This will likely help improve the agricultural prospects by pushing farmers to change the cropping pattern from core cereals or pulses towards more agricultural input products like paddy and maize.

Industry overview:

Phosphatic fertilizers industry sales grew to 6.1mn tonne from 6.08mn tonne last year. The increase has come from south-10%, west- 5% and north- 2%, while central and east had deficit of 25% and 7%, respectively.

Raw material prices in the fertilizer segment are showing a softening trend. Phos acid prices for 3Q were at USD$625 per tonne compared to 2Q prices last year of USD $655 per tonne. Industry has passed on the benefit of stable currency and softer raw material prices to the consumer and overall MRP has been brought down by 4% to 10%.

As per the management, DAP prices have seen a softening trend and are down 10 percent between March and October

CRIN Nutrient Business:

Revenue was down 3% YoY due to 1.8% decrease in nutrient business revenue and 10.6% decrease in CPC business revenue.

Phosphatic fertilizer sales volume declined on account of delayed monsoon and low urea sales (-63% YoY). DAP sales has come down by 18% to 0.18mn tonne while complex fertilizer sales increased marginally by 2% to 1.04mn tonne during the quarter.

Unique grade shares in overall sales stood at 39% compared to 43% last year as farmers are shifting to NPK grades from DAP. SSP business saw its volume rise by 12% to 0.19mn tonne contributed by its key markets in North Maharashtra and AP.

CRIN enjoyed a market share was of 20% (overall primary sales) and POS market share at 22% vs. 21% last year.

Phosphatic fertilizers capacity utilization went down to 85% vs.93% last year as the company scaled down production due to issues related to raw material supplies. Urea and Ammonia supplies from Middle East had been impacted in July; this has now stabilized as per Management.

The Phosphoric Acid expansion project of 100,000 tonne at Vizag has been commissioned and makes the unit self-sufficient. This will operate at full capacity and add 50,000 tonne to captive PA production in 2HFY20 and 0.1mn tonne from FY21 onwards. The current requirement of Phos acid, depending on the mix, is approx 1mn tonne out of which 0.45mn tonne will be produced in-house (including the new plant) and remaining 0.55mn tonne will continue to be sourced through imports.

Management is working towards debottlenecking the fertilizer units which will enhance the fertilizer capacity to meet future growth

CRIN CPC business:

Revenue from CPC segment declined by 10.6% YoY to Rs5.1bn due to the following factors:

The Sarigam unit started operation in late July after a prolonged outage due to the fire mishap in January this year. This curtailed the output from this unit to just 45 days

Mancozeb is seeing pricing pressure as well as some shipping problem in the international market, which impacted the CPC revenue.

Pymetrozin plant has been commissioned for pilot testing at Dahej.

The management mentioned that it has created separate B2B and B2C verticals in for the overseas markets to grow its B2C sales and is working on its product mix to help both its domestic and international markets.

The company stated that the WDG facility for Mancozeb is ready and will support Mancozeb sales in export markets once the registration is complete.

The company expects new launches to support growth in the CPC business over 2H FY20 and beyond.

The launches in 1HFY20 include four formulations – Mythri, Arithri, Fornax SC and Fornax granule
