The fertilizer industry in Pakistan is expected to see an 18% year-over-year increase in profitability in the third quarter of 2016 driven by higher urea and DAP offtake. However, this growth is boosted by abnormally low offtake in the third quarter of 2015 and the implementation of subsidies in June 2016. Inventories of urea are expected to remain elevated through 2018 as production continues to outpace demand despite recovery in offtake post budget incentives. The outlook for profitability in the fertilizer sector remains challenging due to structural issues like rising inventory levels and pressure on margins from price discounts, despite short term boost from subsidy measures.

Spotlight - Fertilizers Industry Update - New Chapter in the Fertilizers StoryAli Afifi
The Egyptian government announced price increases for subsidized fertilizers from EGP 2,000/ton to EGP 2,959/ton for urea and from EGP 1,950/ton to EGP 2,860/ton for nitrate. This increase was necessary as fertilizer producers' costs had risen significantly following the floatation of the Egyptian pound, increasing natural gas costs. While private producers had stopped supplying fertilizers at a loss, government-owned producers continued to do so. The price increase will allow producers to resume supply and benefit Abu Qir Fertilizers and MOPCO the most, while EFIC is unaffected as it produces non-subsidized phosphate fertilizers.

Subdued e-auction prices and potential stake sale remain concerns. The analyst maintains a 'Buy' rating with a target price of Rs. 388 per share based on 17.
Arvind reported quarterly revenues and profits above estimates. Textiles grew 9% while brands and retail grew 21%. EBITDA was above estimates but margins declined slightly.

The document provides detailed performance updates and analysis of key financial metrics for various business segments of Arvind.
Ambit_Cement_Thematic_End of the capex cycle_16Mar2016sbachhawat
The document discusses the Indian cement industry and signals that the decade-long cycle of aggressive capacity expansion is likely to end. Major players will now focus on improving return on capital employed and reducing leverage rather than adding more capacity. UltraTech Cement's recent large acquisition of Jaypee Cement will reduce fragmentation in the industry and competition, allowing for more rational pricing. Earnings growth is expected to recover over the next few years due to price increases and cost reductions, after five years of no growth. Valuations of cement companies are also becoming more reasonable compared to recent years of high expectations.
ITC’s 1QFY15 results were largely in-line though seasonality in Agri revenues resulted in 9.5% beat on sales vs. our estimates. 1Q15 net sales, EBITDA and PAT came in at INR92.5b.
Philips Carbon Black reported a 51.1% year-over-year increase in net sales to ₹415 crore for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011, driven by a 29% rise in volumes. However, operating margins declined to 10.9% from 18.9% a year earlier, below estimates, due to lower margins in the power segment. Consequently, net profit fell 24.9% to ₹24 crore. While volume growth remains strong, margins are expected to recover as the higher margin power segment's contribution increases going forward.

Low base effect flatters to deceive; reiterate Underperform
We expect the profitability of Pak fertilizer universe to rise by 18% YoY in 3QCY16.
Abnormally depressed off-take in the same period last year, coupled with the implementation
of subsidies from Jun-16, is the prime reason for the growth.
Urea off-take is expected to clock-in at 1.7mn tons during 3QCY16 (+61% YoY), taking
cumulative 9MCY16 figure to 3.53mn tons, down 10% YoY. DAP off-take increased
significantly during 3QCY16 to clock in at 414k tons, up 239% YoY. Private imports
captured significant market share due to their competitive prices.
Urea inventory is likely to remain elevated from CY16-CY18, as production continues to
outpace demand, owing to better gas availability. The possibility of exports to clear out the
inventory hinges on government’s ability to allocate a subsidy to cover transportation cost.
We reiterate our U/P rating for the sector. However, we continue to highlight EFERT as a
lucrative dividend yield play given growing dividends and the steep underperformance in the
last 6mths.
Fertilizer universe profitability driven by higher urea and DAP off-take
Next Fertilizer universe is expected to post 18% YoY profitability jump in 3QCY16. While off-take in
3QCY16 was boosted by subsidy implementation post budget, the abnormally low offtake in 3QCY15
is also the reason for the growth. Gross margins are expected to fall as a result of PKR 50/bag cut in
urea prices absorbed by local manufacturers and incremental price discounts. Moreover, rising
inventory levels are expected to push up the industry’s finance costs up by 15% YoY.
Incentives priced-in; fundamentals to remain weak
We reiterate our U/P stance on the fertilizer sector; where structural dynamics remain challenging,
despite off-take recovering to some extent post budget relief measures. Our investment thesis hinges on
an average 3yr EPS CAGR of -6.8% for manufacturers through 2015-18E with longer than earlier
expected period of escalated inventory levels with increase in demand in CY17-18 not enough to
absorb the increase in local production. Moreover, subdued margins amid price discounts will keep
margins under pressure. We maintain our Underperform stance on FFC and FATIMA. We have a Buy
2. 2
stance on EFERT due to its growing dividend stream which translates into CY17E dividend yield of
13%. Furthermore, the company trades at CY17E EV/EBITDA of 4.5x compared to the peer average of
~7.0x. FFBL is currently under review.
Inventory unlikely to whittle down anytime soon…
As per our estimates, production is likely to outpace demand in CY17-18 as well, thus we expect
inventory levels to remain inflated through 2016-18E. Improved gas supply has resulted in a 15% jump
in industry production (primarily from FFBL/DHFL/AGL operating at increased capacity in CY16 due
to better gas availability) and we expect this trend to continue going forward. We expect FFC, EFERT,
FATIMA and FFBL to hold an average inventory of 340k, 380k, 260k and 50k tons, respectively,
through 2016-18.
…unless government grants export facility
As per our channel checks the fertilizer industry is pushing government to allow urea exports.
Government’s decision would depend on several factors such as the amount of subsidy to be allocated
to manufacturers to cover the transportation costs, if any, and the export quotas for the manufacturers.
However, even if govt. allows for export, excess supply in regional countries makes us skeptical that
the inventory will immediately clear out. Assuming (1) subsidization of transportation costs by the
government, (2) US$ 200/ton international urea prices, and (3) FFC/EFERT/FFBL/FATIMA allowed
350k/250k/75k/50k tons; EPS for our universe is expected to witness a 6-9% jump in CY17E earnings.

Figure 5 – EPS sensitivity to urea exports prices suggest 6-
9% upside to our estimates for CY17E

Fauji Fertilizer Company Ltd (FFC): FFC is scheduled to announce its result on 26 October, 2016.
We expect the company to post PAT of PKR 3.29bn (EPS of PKR 2.59) in 3QCY16. Despite off-take
increasing 45% YoY, lower retention prices and higher fuel gas tariffs are expected to drag the bottom-
line. Dividend income, which was above PKR 1bn in 3QCY15, is expected to remain very low due to
lack of dividends from major holdings such as AKBL and FFBL. On the other hand, finance cost would
be higher as ST debt piles up following inventory backlog. We expect the company to announce a cash
dividend of PKR 2.50/sh, taking 9MCY16 payout to 5.90/sh.
Engro Fertilizer Limited (EFERT): We expect EFERT to post PAT of PKR 3,231mn (EPS: PKR
2.43) in 3QCY16, up 16% YoY. Improved urea and DAP off-take, up 55% and 251% YoY,
respectively is the prime reason behind the 37% YoY jump in revenue. Contrary to the sector, finance
cost for EFERT is expected to witness a 27% YoY dip with continued deleveraging outpacing the
growth in finance costs due to increased working capital requirements. We expect the company to
declare a cash dividend of PKR 2.00/sh.

Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim (FFBL): FFBL is expected to post PAT of PKR 241mn (EPS: PKR 0.26)
in 3QCY16. Even though volumetric growth was impressive during the quarter with urea and DAP
sales up by 141% and 84% YoY, respectively, the business has suffered due to delayed revision in
phosphoric acid prices, coupled with rising inventories and lower retention prices for both urea and
DAP. In case of DAP, the company has failed to achieve the same sales growth as demonstrated by
private importers due to price competition. Phosphoric acid prices of FFBL have been revised to ~US$
600/mt. We have assumed US$ 650/mt and US$ 610/mt for 2Q and 3Q, respectively and used the
average cost method to calculate the cost of production in every quarter.
Fatima Fertilizer Limited (Fatima): We expect Fatima to post net earnings of PKR 1.84bn (EPS of
PKR 0.88) in 3QCY16, up 201% YoY. Whilst urea volumetric growth is strong, it is exaggerated by
the base effect due to unusually low off-take in 3QCY15. Moreover, FATIMA has been offering heavy
price discounts which are expected to put margins under pressure. CAN and NP also posted strong
growth figures. Moreover, working capital requirements are expected to hit FATIMA significantly with
a 60% jump in finance cost expected.
