The Company is a leading exporter of agro chemical products globally with a large basket of registered products. The company has ~1,200 registrations across markets and regions. The company has been focusing on increasing its product registrations to drive faster growth across regions especially in the EU and LATAM countries. Stringent product registrations in agro chemicals are a key entry barrier.

The Company has an asset light business model as it does not have any manufacturing plants and relies on third party outsourcing to meet its requirements. It sources ~90% of its requirement from China and the balance 10% from India. The asset light model of the company provides flexibility to the model to switch between products based on the end customer demand.

On back of its unique asset light business model, the company enjoys high EBIDTA margins (18-20%) and PAT margins of 12-13%. The only investment required is for registration and to fund its working capital (mainly debtors) resulting into strong return ratios (RoCE of ~30%).

The company continues to focus on new registrations to drive revenue growth in the medium term. It aims to continue to invest ~Rs 800-900mn in new product registration with focus on increasing revenue share in the European markets.

The issue price of Rs 145-156 is priced at 12x-13x FY14 EPS which works out at ~50% discount to its peers. We believe that the issue is attractively priced and expect the stock to trade at 16-17x FY14 EPS which provides an upside of 30-40%, ascribe a Subscribe rating.
