Company has reduced debt.
Company has a good return on equity (ROE) track record: 3 Years ROE 35.2%
Extensive experience, reputed clientele and established t rack record of operations
in the CPC segment
GCL is a part of Dempo Group, which was established in 1941. The group has diversified
operations with a presence in Iron Ore mining and exports, Construction, Publishing, Ship
Building, Travel and Trade, among others. GCL has more than five decades of track record in
the production of CPC and hence has an established market position amongst the leading
producers of CPC in India. The chairman of the company, Mr. Shrinivas Dempo has an
extensive experience of over three decades in the industry. GCL caters to reputed
companies among the Aluminium Industry, Graphite Industry and Steel Industry which includes
Hindalco Industries Limited (HIL), Vedanta Aluminium Limited (VAL), The Kerala Minerals and
Metals Limited (KMML), Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) to name a few. GCL has also
healthy relations developed over a decade with the various global raw material suppliers
such as Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, Oxbow Carbon & Minerals LLC, Mitsubishi Corporation
Limited among others.
Acuité believes that the established position in the industry and healthy relations with both
customers as well as suppliers will help the company to maintain a stable business profile in
the CPC segment.
Improvement in business risk profile
The business risk profile of the company witnessed improvement reflected by growth in
revenues during FY2023 and 9MFY2024. The revenue from operations of GCL improved to Rs.
1364.36 Cr. in FY2023 against Rs. 766.12 Cr. in FY2022. Further, the revenues
during 9MFY2024 stood in similar range at Rs. 606.42 Cr. The surge in the demand of
aluminium while tightening of its supply marked by geo-political issues and consequent
sanctions on Russia, which contributes almost 6 percent of the global aluminium supply, has
resulted in an implicit effect on the pricing of CPC. The average selling price of the CPC
during FY20-21 stood at around Rs. 22,000 per metric tonne which grew to Rs. 42,000 per metric
tonne in FY21-22, while as on 9MFY23 the average selling price stood as high as Rs.77,000 per
metric tonne.
Acuité believes that GCL’s operating performance is susceptible to the changes in pricing of
CPC and the same will remain critical for its future growth.
#GODREJAGRO
Company has been maintaining a healthy dividend payout of 51.6%
Debtor days have improved from 37.4 to 22.4 days.
Company's working capital requirements have reduced from 58.6 days to 46.1 days
Strengths:
Diversified business presence: The company’s focus on diversification into newer segments such as palm oil, crop protection, dairy and poultry over the past 7-8 fiscals in order to lower its concentration in the animal feed business (revenue contribution down to around 49% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 from 80% in fiscal 2012) supports its overall business risk profile and provides cushion against slowdown in any business segment.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2024, overall revenue saw modest growth of 2% year-on-year, largely on account of healthy volume growth in most of the business segments, apart from the business under the subsidiary, Astec Lifesciences, which faced competitive pressures for its key enterprise products. The volume growth was offset by negative or modest expansion in realisations, especially in the palm oil, poultry and animal feed segments, leading to a muted revenue growth.
Operating margin, however, improved on a year-on-year basis, to 7.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as against 5.7% for fiscal 2023, backed by lower input prices in dairy and poultry segments and higher operating levels in the animal feed and crop protection segments. The improvement in operating margin was the highest in crop protection segment, supported by strong volumes and realisations in the in-licensed product portfolio, apart from the dairy segment where operating margin improved substantially, on the back of lower milk procurement prices and operating efficiency, from operating losses seen last year. On the other hand, operating margin declined in the Astec Lifesciences segment, as it faced continued price erosion and subdued demand for its key enterprise product, despite robust performance by its contract manufacturing segment.
Dominant position in the domestic animal feed and palm oil segments: GAL enjoys a dominant position in the domestic organised animal feed industry with presence across various sub-categories such as cattle, broiler, layer, fish, shrimp and other feeds. The company's efforts are driven by research and development to achieve cost leadership and competitiveness, which have supported its volume growth. The segment continued to see traction across sub-segments, especially in cattle feed and aqua feed, during the first nine months of fiscal 2024.
Being the second largest consumer of palm oil in the world, India’s demand for domestic palm oil is expected to remain robust. The segment registered compounded annual growth rate of 16% over the eight fiscals through 2023, with healthy operating margin of above 19% over the period. Strong volume growth expected over the medium term, along with the longer shelf-life volumes coming from company’s newly set up oil refinery, would help keep operating margins healthy.
Strong financial risk profile: Financial risk profile remains strong as reflected in gearing of 0.48 time as on December 31, 2023 and interest coverage of 7.55 times in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, versus 0.44 times and 5.62 times, respectively, as on December 31, 2022. Debt levels declined slightly to Rs 1,203 crore as on December 31, 2023 from Rs 1,321 crore as on March 31, 2023. Debt levels are expected to remain range-bound over the medium term on the back of strong cash accruals from the business, despite the capital expenditure (capex) plan and working capital requirements, because of which the overall financial risk profile would remain comfortable.
Strong financial flexibility from being part of the Godrej group: GAL enjoys strong financial flexibility being part of the Godrej group and has the ability to raise debt at competitive rates and on short notice. It is able to directly derive implicit benefits being part of the Godrej group and without a formal arrangement of support with the parent, group companies or promoters.
