ENGRO FERTILIZERS LIMITED Analysis of Financial Statements Financial Year 2005-1Q'10
The year 2009 closed one chapter of Engro's history. At the end of year 2009, Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited demerged and transferred its core business into a new subsidiary, Engro Fertilizers Limited.
This demerger is part of Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited's conversion into a holding company structure, namely Engro Corporation Limited. Engro Corp will be one of Pakistan's largest conglomerates, with a diversified portfolio, including fertilizers, foods, energy & power, PVC resin, chemical handling and storage, industrial automation and trading.
Industry snapshot
The fertiliser industry in Pakistan is of an oligopolistic nature, with the four major players being Engro, FFC, FFBL and Dawood Hercules. FFC has the highest share of urea production (38%), followed by Engro (14%), FFBL (10%) and Dawood Hercules (8%).
During the year under review, the Urea off take of industry grew 17% to 6.4 million tons. This was mainly due to record wheat support prices of Rs 950/ mound for Rabi 08/09 and 09/10 resulting in highest ever returns for the farmers, increase in acreages under BT cotton requiring more urea and, rising cotton prices encouraging increased fertiliser use. Domestic urea production during 2009 on national basis was 5.05 million tons as compared to 4.98 million tons in 2008. To fill the demand supply gap, GoP imported 1.6 million tons of urea which was distributed through National Fertiliser Marketing Limited.

Net Profit rose 183% to Rs 8.21 bn in 1H 2010 as compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, PAT increased to Rs 4.59 bn, rising 221% since the corresponding period last year.
In the fertiliser business, urea sales were 492,000 tons up by 17% from 419,000 tons for the same period last year primarily due to higher availability of product on account of higher production. Engro Fertilizers recorded the best ever first half production with 504,000 tons during the six months ended June 30, 2010, a 16% increase over the 436,000 tons produced during the same period last year. The market share also increased to 16% from 14% last year.
The market demand for urea, during the first half ended June 30, 2010 was 3.1 million tons showing a marginal increase of 3% over the same period last year. The sale of company manufactured blended fertilizers (Zarkhez and Engro NP) was 44,800 tons vs 43,500 tons during same period last year. Zarkez sales increased to 28,900 tons from 23,000 tons in the corresponding period previous year as a result of a 55% growth in the potash industry which was witnessed during the first half of 2010 on account of subsidy announced by the Government and subsequent imports by other potash players. NP sales declined to 15,900 tons this year from 20,500 tons in the comparable period last year due to a decline in the phosphate industry due to higher phosphate prices, poor farmer economics and water shortage.
The net profit for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was Rs 2.01 billion which was better than expected due to better plant production and efficiency. The urea expansion project at Daharki site, at 40th month of execution is mechanically 98% complete. Mechanical completion as well as commissioning activities are expected to take place in 3Q 2010.
Financial statement analysis:
During FY09, the company produced 952,000 tons of urea, which is 4% lower than 995,000 tons of 2008 production; this was mainly due to the planned maintenance shutdown in the second quarter. The company sold 933,000 tons of urea and consumed 20,000 tons in the Zarkhez operations. Also there has been a decline in Engro's share because of production remaining constant having reached the maximum capacity and while there was a growth in urea demand, the distribution of imported urea was handled directly by NFML.
