Sales rose by 7.2% yoy
For 1QFY2017, the company’s sales rose 7.2% yoy to `445cr (V/s `415cr in
1QFY2016). The onset of monsoon this year was delayed and the progress in June
was sluggish, leaving a monsoon deficit of 11% by the end of the month. A sharp
drop in cotton planting further accentuated the concerns for the company.
Consequently demand and placement were muted during 1QFY2017 which
however have picked up in July. With purchase of agrochemicals shifting to the
current quarter, the Management remains confident of robust growth in
2QFY2017.
Metahelix revenues registered a 16% yoy growth to `189.7cr, which is soft due to
unavailability of seeds. Poor Rabi yields due to lack of ground water resulted in
shortage of seeds.

Earnings rise 16.1% yoy on back of exceptional income
Aided by sales growth, a good operating performance and surge in other income
(`7cr V/s `5cr in 1QFY2016), the Adj. Net profit grew 16.1% yoy to `49cr (V/s
`42cr in 1QFY2016). The reported net profit came in at `174cr (V/s `42cr in

assignment of leasehold rights of a plot of land in MIDC area, Turbhe, Novi
Mumbai. The profit is net of costs including a premium levied under the repealed
Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act 1976, which has been paid under
protest.

Rallis India | 1QFY2017 Result Update
Concall highlights
The Management has shared a positive outlook for the year on the back of a
normal monsoon and pick up in the company’s export business.
The onset of monsoon was delayed and the progress in June was sluggish,
leaving an 11% monsoon deficit by the end of the month. Concerns got
accentuated by a sharp drop in cotton planting. Consequently, demand and
placement were muted during 1QFY2017 which however have picked up in
July. With purchase of agrochemicals shifting to the current quarter, the
Management remains confident of robust growth in 2QFY2017.
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 `334cr (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,
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
July 26, 2016

Rallis India | 1QFY2017 Result Update
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 FY2017, driven by
above normal monsoons. At the current levels, the stock is trading at a fair
valuation of
19.8x its FY2018E EPS. Hence, we maintain our Neutral
recommendation on the stock.
