Coromandel International
Investor concerns misplaced; Buy rating
„ Concern 1: lower conversion margins on DAP may impact profitability
A recent investor concern on Coromandel International (CIL) has been over lower
conversion margins for DAP (DAP price rise not enough vis-à-vis prices of raw
materials such as phosphoric acid). We would like to highlight that DAP as a % of
sales for CIL is not significant. The company was able to achieve stable margins
during earlier cases of lower/falling DAP conversion margins. We expect the
company to be able to achieve stable margins, though quarterly volatility is
possible. Its stable margins reflect its secure raw material linkages, low-cost
manufacturing, and government subsidies, in our view.
„ Concern 2 : higher DAP prices could impact demand
YTD in FY12, sales for DAP (not significant as % of sales for CIL) in India is
down 26% YoY. The key reason for this is that DAP prices rose significantly more
than urea prices. However, non-DAP complex fertiliser sales in India (more
relevant for CIL) are actually up YTD.
„ Maintain our positive view on stock—best agri play in India
We reiterate our view that CIL is emerging as a broad agri-inputs player. We
believe it remains well placed to benefit from opportunities in the Indian agri space
with its strategy of increasing the mix of its non-subsidy business (higher
margins/lower regulatory noise) from 26% to 50% of total earnings in three years.
„ Valuation: maintain Buy rating, price target of Rs416
We value CIL using DCF-based methodology. Our price target of Rs416 implies
FY13E PE of 13.2x. We assume a WACC of 12.85%.
Q Coromandel International
Coromandel International is an India-based leading agri-input company. It is the
second largest phosphate fertilizer manufacturer in India and is part of the
US$3bn Murugappa Group. The company manufactures a wide range of
fertilizers, specialty nutrients, and crop protection products (technicals and
formulations). It is in the retail business through its Mana Gromor Centres that
sell agri-input products.
Q Statement of Risk
We believe the key risks for the company are volatility in foreign currency,
increased competition, weather outlook, and changes in the government’s
subsidy policy.
