Coromandel 2Q results were higher than ours and consensus estimates, adjusted for one off
items in both quarters. Adjusted revenues grew 6% yoy to Rs27.24b, EBITDA grew 13% to
Rs3.8b and net income grew 17% yoy to Rs2.5b (vs consensus of Rs2.1b). More details on
analysts call on Thursday, 20 October
One offs distort reported numbers in both quarters
􀀟 2QFY11 included receipt of prior period subsidy of Rs1.97b, while 2QFY12 has impact on
sale of fertilizer bonds (net addition of Rs262.2). Thus, reported revenues were up only1%
yoy and net income down 20% to Rs2788m.
􀀟 Fertilizer volumes declined around 8%yoy to 940,000 tonnes with traded fertilizer volume
down 24%yoy and manufactured fertilizer volume down 4%. Thus, adjusted revenue growth
was 6%yoy. Lower volume of traded fertilizer had beneficial impact on margins with gross
margins up from 22% to 24% and EBITDA margins up from 13% to 13.8%.
New plant announced for SSP, foray into North
􀀟 Coromandel announced setting up of a new 800 tonnes per day (tpd) ie, 300,000 tonnes per
annum plant for Single Super Phosphate (SSP) and a 400 tpd granulation unit in Punjab. This
will be company’s first unit in North India and is an expression of its intent to expand
distribution reach beyond South – a positive step, in our view.
Bonus debentures- a sweetener with likely NPV yield of 4%
􀀟 Coromandel also announced bonus debentures of Rs15/- each for every share, and coupon
rate of not less than 9% per annum. We calculate an NPV of Rs14/- for the debentures,
assuming tenure of 3 years, coupon of 9% p.a. and discount rate of 12%; implying yield of
around 4% on current price.
Retain Buy; visibility on volume growth will be key catalyst
􀀟 We retain Buy with price target of Rs365. We believe more clarity on volume growth (through
Tunisian JV) or on Sabero acquisition will be key catalysts for the stock
