Sales rose by 8.6% yoy
(Rallis) posted sales of `342cr V/s `315cr in 4QFY2015, a growth of 8.6% yoy.
The same was driven by higher offtake in export orders which have been getting
differed since the past two quarters due to a challenging environment faced by
global companies. Domestic growth continued to remain muted during the
quarter.
For the entire year FY2016, Rallis’ exports business witnessed pressure on account
of global weakness in the agrochemical industry. As a result, the company’s
revenues dropped by 20% yoy to `400cr in FY2016. The company’s primary
export market remains Brazil where sluggish demand environment, currency
volatility and macro headwinds led to deferment/cancellation of many orders. For
FY2016, the share of exports in overall revenue remained at 30%. However, export
orders saw some revival in 4QFY2016, but the Management still remains cautious
on recovery in Brazil anticipating sluggishness for a couple of more quarters. This
would likely keep the exports business revenues under pressure.
During FY2016, Rallis’ seed business under Metahelix reported decent growth of
8% yoy to `344cr on back of increased market share, and despite significant
reduction in acreages for some of the key crops such as paddy 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% margins in a good monsoon year.

Rallis India | 4QFY2016 Result Update
Concall highlights
The company’s innovation index for FY2016 improved to 11% from 10% in
the previous year. However, the Management indicated that the index could
have improved further but the same was restricted due to a challenging
demand environment which resulted in new products not achieving the desired
level of growth during the year.
The company has bagged two CRAMS projects on pilot basis during the year.
The Management expects to convert these pilot projects into full commercial
contracts in FY2017 and expects them to contribute to earnings growth from
FY2018-2019. Currently, Rallis has two molecules under CRAMS which are
being manufactured at its Dahej facility.
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. FY2016 has been challenging
on back of poor monsoons but the outlook for FY2017 is favorable and should
bode well for domestic sales growth. A lower base would result in 17.3% CAGR in
the domestic business during FY2016-18E.
Exports under pressure: 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 ~30% of sales in FY2016. In FY2016, the global
weakness in the agrochemical industry put pressure on Rallis’ exports business
where the revenues dropped by 20% yoy to `400cr. The company’s primary export
market is Brazil where a sluggish demand environment, currency volatility and
macro headwinds led to deferment/cancelation of many orders. However, export
orders saw a revival in 4QFY2016; still the Management remains cautious on
recovery in Brazil which could take more than a couple of quarters. This would
likely keep the exports business revenues under pressure. Going forward, the
segment will continue to post a 7.2% CAGR over FY2016-18E.
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 FY2016, Rallis’ seed business under
Metahelix reported a decent growth of 8% yoy to `3,34cr (almost 23% of the
domestic business) on back of increased market share and despite significant
reduction in acreages for some of the key crops such as paddy 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% margins in a good monsoon year.
During FY2016, the company increased its stake in Metahelix to 100%.
Contract manufacturing ramping up slowly: Rallis plans to focus on contract
manufacturing for exports and selectively target top players. To facilitate the same,
April 29, 2016

Rallis India | 4QFY2016 Result Update
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 expects them to contribute to earnings growth from FY2018-2019.
Currently, Rallis has two molecules under CRAMS which are being manufactured
at its Dahej facility.
Outlook and valuation
Over FY2016-18E, we expect the company to post a CAGR of 15.0% and
22.3% in net sales and profit, respectively, with recovery expected in FY2017E,
driven by above normal monsoons. At the current levels, the stock is trading at
a fair valuation of 17.9x its FY2018E EPS. Hence, we maintain our Neutral
recommendation on the stock.
