EFERT– Introduction

Profitability Trend

EFERT: Profitability Margin trend

Engro Fertilizers Limited (listed on all 3 stock exchanges of Pakistan), is an 86% owned subsidiary of Engro Corporation (ENGRO), which is involved in the business of manufacturing and marketing of urea and NPK (compound) fertilizers.

EFERT is Pakistan’s largest urea player in terms of capacity, with Engro Urea as Pakistan’s oldest domestic urea brand. Over the years, production capacity of its base plant has been enhanced from 173 kt/year to 975 kt/year through various projects including a relocation from USA.

In 2010, it completed construction of the EnVen project which at that time was the world’s largest single train urea plant, adding 1.3mn tpa of urea production capacity, making Daharki world’s 5th largest urea production site

As per Fertilizer Policy 2001, EnVen (COD: 2011) was contracted to receive feedstock gas from the SNGPL network at US$0.70/mmbtu for 10yrs (vs. normal pricing of US$4.2/mmbtu). After a gap of 04 years, with delays due to GoP back tracking, EFERT has received confirmation of concessionary gas pricing in Mar’15.

EFERT has entered into an agreement with GENCO II (endorsed by ECC) to install compressors for Guddu Power Plant at its cost. In lieu of this it is understood that 60MMSCFD of Guddu gas will continue to flow to EFERT till December 2015.

During 2015 , Engro Eximp’s trading arm is being sold to EFERT (subject to shareholders approval), after which the Company will also be engaged in import and marketing of phosphate based fertilizers (DAP & MAP) and micronutirents.

EFERT has posted all-time high sales of PkR61.42bn in CY14.

In CY14 alone, revenue grew by 23%YoY on account of 1) 16%YoY volumetric growth in offtake to 1.82mn tons urea sold in CY14 and 2) increase in urea prices by 5%YoY.

Production dropped in CY12 to 974k tons (2 plant operational for just 45 days due to gas curtailment) but has since increased with a CAGR of 37% after gas supply issues were resolved with the GoP

Revenues

Debt Profile

Earning Drivers

Last 5-yr GMs average of 43% is reflective of strong pricing power. This has been buttressed by the higher efficiency of the EnVen plant

CY14 profits were up 49%YoY to PkR8.2bn in CY14

EFERT has signed long term GSA with E&P companies to receive additional gas from dedicated gas fields, giving EFert more more sustainability.

Proactive management has reduced D/E to 1.3x in CY14 vs. 4x in CY12. As a result, financial charges reduced by 33%YoY in CY14 which can further improve in lower interest rate environment

With debt covenants met in 3Q14, EFERT has initiated dividend payments announcing a full year dividend of PkR3.0/sh.

At the same time, lower debt can lead to Shariah compliance where domestic Islamic mutual funds can start adding EFERT, thereby leading to improved price discovery.

EFERT – Risks & Mitigants

Gas Availability

The Fertilizer sector competes with the power, industrial and domestic sectors for gas supply with order of preference being Domestic, power, general industries and cement sector. Allocation of gas is dependent on Government policy. Risks are mitigated by signing of long-term GSAs with the E&P companies.

Currently the company has guaranteed gas supply for one plant from Mari gas fields, and has entered into an agreement with Genco II (endorsed by ECC) under which 60MMSCFD of Guddu gas will continue to flow to EFERT till December 2015 .

Gas Price Increase

Local urea prices already at a discount to int’l urea prices which gives room for price increase

Rupee devaluation against US$ to further provide room to increase local urea prices

Concessionary gas made available to EnVen plant

Foreign Exchange Impact

This could have an adverse impact on the Company considering that it has obtained US$ denominated loans.. However, this is mitigated by 1) the company having partially hedged its exposure against FX denominated borrowings through forward contracts & FX options ; 2) recent conversion of IFC loan further reducing USD Debt; and 3) rupee devaluation which will also increase the landed cost of imported urea; providing fertilizer manufacturers with more room for increasing prices. The foreign exchange loans have come down to USD 123 m from a peak of USD 315m in 2011

Interest Rate Risks

EFERT’s profitability can be impacted by 1) increase in domestic interest rates and 2) PkR depreciation vs. the US$. However, mitigating factors exist as Pakistan is in the midst of a monetary easing cycle .

Urea Imports

While int’l urea prices are at a premium to local prices, the GoP has resorted to imports from time to time. Propensity to import can increase if gas is diverted away from the fertilizer sector and/or int’l urea prices further reduce.

Floods/Natural Disaster

Agriculture growth has been volatile over the last 5yrs on instances of flooding. However, strong GoP support has led to resilient farmer incomes that has not affected demand for fertilizers. Also, usually flooding can yield positive effects the following year as farmers benefit from the replenished water tables and increased soil fertility.
