Analyst's Notes

Aarti Industries: Stock Pulse - 04 Dec 2023

Stock pulse is a format where we explore the most important questions to understand the company's performance.

What are the revenue drivers for the company and future outlook?

Aarti Industries Ltd (AIL) is a leading global specialty chemical company specializing in benzene-based derivatives. Key value chains include Nitro Chloro Benzenes, Di-Chlorobenzenes, Phenylenediamines, Nitro Toluene value chain and Sulphuric Acid as well as other downstream products. With a presence in over 60 countries, it caters to various industries such as Agrochemicals, Polymer and additives, Pharmaceuticals, Dyes, pigments, and printing inks. Half the revenues earned by the company are from exports and major export markets are North America, Europe, and China. 

AIL has recorded 15% revenue/EBITDA CAGR over FY18-23. Recently, in Q1FY24 revenue declined 12% YoY; while Q2FY24 witnessed volume-backed recovery. H2FY24 is anticipated to be better than the first half. The medium-to-long-term trend continues to be appealing backed by steady demand recovery in key end-user industries, management expects FY25 to be a normalizing year.   

Source: Annual report, Moneyworks4me research

 

Can the company continue to maintain its margin profile?

AIL demerged its pharma business effective 1st July, 2021. This strategic decision was taken with the rationale of achieving operational efficiencies by streamlining the businesses. Currently, the company only deals in the specialty chemical segment (FY19-22 avg. EBITDA margin 20%+). Management hinted that margins have bottomed out in H1FY24 (~15%). We expect margin recovery from FY25E, on improvement in demand from the agro and pharma sector. 

What are the Capex plans of AIL? 

 The company incurred a CAPEX of approximately Rs. 575 crore in H1FY24 for various expansion opportunities (including chlorotoluenes value chain, comprising over 40 value-added specialty products). The products from this project are characterized by their niche and high-value range, with a potential strong EBITDA margin of around 25-30%. 

The targeted annual CAPEX for FY24 is expected to fall within the range of Rs. 1200-1300 crores. Overall, the company is dedicated to allocating Rs. 2,500 to 3,000 crores for the outlined growth initiatives over two years, anticipating rapid growth in the Indian Chemical industry. This commitment aims not only to strengthen proficiency and capabilities in existing and newer high-end chemistries but also to expand the addressable market size and meet the rising demand from key customers.

Source: Annual report, Moneyworks4me research

What are the concern areas?

Demand slowdown- The global macroeconomic slowdown, primarily driven by Europe, along with uncertainty regarding the resurgence of demand in China, has resulted in a global imbalance between supply and demand. This has consequently affected pricing and demand for products such as dyes, dyestuff, pigments, etc., collectively contributing to ~30% of Aarti's overall revenue. 

Return ratios to remain subdued- Capex plans of Rs. 2500+ Crore over FY24-25E will require the company to raise debt. This will impact RoEs over the medium term.

Aarti Industries: Result snapshot - 17 Jun 2021

Result: Good

Aarti Industries reported 12% growth in sales over previous year, and 20% growth in operating profit in Q4FY21. The company is growing backed by rapid capacity expansion and robust orderbook. Aarti Industries largely has cost plus business wherein costs are passed with additional margin. One must not look at operating margin but absolute profit as margins would change based on raw material costs.

Our Opinion: Chemical sector is at the core of China+1 beneficiaries as China stopped chemical manufacturing due to heightened pollution concerns in China as well as developed markets searching for alternatives sourcing away from China. Aarti Industries has consistently grown over last 10 years and one of the remarkable growth stories. Currently these positives are already known and priced for. 

Even if the profit doubles in next 3 years (management guidance), the stock price already reflects this growth which lowers upside potential from current price. We recommend 50% SELL based on elevated valuation. Chemicals companies unlike other asset light business have limited positive surprises as their growth is capped to their investment in capacities. Besides, it operates on fixed profit margin with limited pricing power, any slippage in execution or raw material costs can impact/delay profit growth.
