MoneyWorks4me Opinion
The agro-chemical industry has grown at an exponential pace, mainly due to India’s high dependence on Agriculture. India also has the advantage of being a low-cost manufacturing hub with technical competence and manpower availability for producing quality agrochemical products, leading to a substantial increase in exports over the past few years, majorly to the USA, Europe, and Africa.
Indian players primarily comprise generic formulations manufacturers, while multinational agrochemicals players are focused on the development of new molecules, which culminate into the development of high-end specialty products. While the formulation business is not capital and technology-intensive, the players’ profitability depends on their ability to develop a strong brand and distribution network, which may entail significant time and costs and act as a key competitive strength. Technical and capital intensity is higher in the case of the production of technicals, which are higher value-added products.
Heranba is an integrated agrochemical player deriving 31% sales from domestic technical sales, 36% from Technicals exports, 13% from formulation exports, and 13% from branded formulations, and 6% from public health products.
Segment diversity will enable the company to better withstand segment-specific risks by shielding them from sharp revenue volatility pertaining to high dependence on the performance of any one segment. However, integrated players are also exposed to risks arising from demand slowdown or price correction in view of their higher fixed cost structure and greater reliance on operating leverage.
The industry is also heavily regulated, given the fact that PAC products can have adverse effects on the environment. Further, for the development of export markets, it may take several years to get requisite approvals from the respective countries’ regulatory authorities and market the products in those countries
Though the future potential is huge, we recommend AVOID due to high risks of execution, competition, and regulation that can lead to lower than expected performance.
Note: We do not recommend buy just because the IPO market is hot. We do not earn any commission or fee for promoting IPOs so expect an honest review from us on a business model and valuation.
