Rallis India | 1QFY2018 Result Update
Investment arguments
Company set to seize rising opportunities in the domestic crop protection market:
India's overall pesticide consumption is one of the lowest in the world and has a
huge potential to grow. We believe Rallis is well placed to seize this opportunity on
the back of its wide distribution network, strong brands, and a robust new product
pipeline. According to industry estimates, the unorganized market accounts for
50% of the industry. Nonetheless, we believe Rallis is in a position to wrest market
share as well as charge a premium for its products. A lower base would result in
11.0% CAGR in the domestic business during FY2017-19E.
Exports remain flat: Although a late entrant, the company has been enhancing its
focus in the exports market, which is now turning out to be its main growth driver.
Overall exports formed ~31% of sales in FY2017. In FY2017, the global weakness
in the agrochemical industry had put pressure on Rallis’ exports business, which
resulted in revenue coming in at `450cr. Moreover, going forward, the segment
will continue to post a 15.0% CAGR over FY2017-19E.
Seed business to augment the domestic portfolio: After the acquisition of Metahelix
seeds business in 2010, the seeds business forms a major part of the domestic
business of the company. During FY2017, Rallis’ seeds business (under Metahelix)
reported a decent growth of 15% yoy to `280cr on the back of increased market
share, and despite significant reduction in acreages for some of the key crops such
as millet seeds and corn. The company is also strengthening its cotton portfolio
and will be launching a new product to take on the market leaders in this crop.
The management remains confident of Metahelix achieving 12-14% margin in a
good monsoon year.
Contract manufacturing ramping up slowly: Rallis plans to focus on contract
manufacturing for exports and selectively target top players. To facilitate the same,
the company has set up a plant at Dahej, which in FY2013 was working at full
capacity and contributed significantly to the overall growth of the company. The
company has bagged two CRAMS projects on a pilot basis during the year. The
management expects to convert these pilot projects into full commercial contracts
in FY2017 and contribute to earnings growth from FY2018-2019 onwards.
Outlook and valuation
Over FY2017-19E, we expect the company to post a CAGR of 11.5% and 21.0%
in net sales and profit respectively. At the current level, the stock is trading at a fair
valuation of 22.5x its FY2019E EPS. Hence, we maintain our Neutral view on the
stock, on back of the rich valuations.
