ABOUT ENGRO
Company Profile
Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited is the second largest producer of urea fertilizer in Pakistan. The
company was incorporated in 1965 and was formerly known as Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited
until 1991. Exxon decided to divest their fertilizer business on a global basis and sold off its
equity of 75% shares in the company to the employees of Engro. Post acquisition by the
employees the company was renamed as Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited.
Construction of Engro’s 100,000 tons per annum capacity NPK fertilizers plant at Port Qasim at a
cost of USD 10mn was completed in 2001. The plant is benefiting the country’s agricultural
sector by providing balance nutrition to improve farm yields. During the year 2004, the product’s
generic name of NPK was replaced by Zarkhez.
In April 2003 Engro acquired 51% interest in the Automation & Control Division of Innovative
(Private) Limited, a Lahore based company that provides process control industrial solutions in
the services sector. The joint venture has been named "Innovative Automation & Engineering
(Private) Limited (IAEL)".The acquisition was part of Engro’s diversification strategy.
Engro Seeds business has made significant progress in developing its own hybrid seeds of maize
and sunflower crops and launched two new maize hybrids of imported origin. All seed products
are being marketed under the brand name of ‘Bemisal’.
In March 2006 Engro set up a milk processing facility via ‘Engro Foods Ltd.’ to produce and
market branded UHT milk, cream and other dairy product. EFL operates two plants which are
located in Sukkur and Sahiwal with an annual capacity of 200mn liters.

FERTILIZER PORTFOLIO
NITROGENEOS FERTILIZERS
ENGRO UREA is a trusted high grade fertilizer containing 46% Nitrogen (N), with moderate
hydroscopicity. It has a pH value of 6.8 (organic molecule) and is suitable for all crops on all soils.
Engro Urea is an excellent source of Nitrogen for the vast majority of cultivated soils of Pakistan.
PHOSPHATIC FERTILIZERS
Engro DAP: contains 46% P2O5 and 18% N. More than 90% of Phosphate (P) is water soluble. It
has a pH value of 7.33 and is a good source of P fertilizer for all crops. It is an equally good
source on problem soils (saline sodic) with coarse texture. On an overall basis it suits to about
90% soils of the country.
Engro Zorawar: is one of the highest grade phosphatic fertilizers. It is acidic in reaction (pH >=
3.5) and contains 52% P2O5 of which more than 90% is water soluble, while the rest is citrate
soluble. In addition to P, it contains 12% N, 2% sulphur and 1% calcium. It is a beneficial fertilizer
for all crops on all soils of Pakistan and produces excellent results on alkaline soils, due to its
acidicy.
The acidic pH of Engro Zorawar also tends to slow down the rapid conversion of soluble P to
water insoluble compounds, keeping it plant available for a longer period of time.
Engro Phosphate: is brown colored mono ammonium phosphate with 11% nitrogen and 52%
phosphorus. It is being marketed as relatively cheaper alternate of DAP.
BLENDED FERTILIZERS
Engro Zarkhez: is homogenously granulated fertilizer which maximizes crop yield by providing
balanced nutrition for a wide variety of crops through the uniform availability of Nitrogen,
Phosphorous and Potassium. Engro Zarkhez grades are specially produced to suit the
requirements of individual crops and soils, and provide convenience to the farmer through ready
availability of precise quantities of primary nutrients.
Engro Zarkhez fertilizers have low moisture content, high crush strength; 2mm-4mm granule size
and free flowing nature - attributes which ensure excellent handling and application
characteristics.
Green 08:23:18 Potato, Maize, Sugarcane, Wheat, Cotton, Rice and Vegetables
Blue 17:17:17 Citrus, Mango, Banana and Other Fruits

EXPANSIONS
In order to take advantage of the current fertilizer shortage scenario, the company planned to
establish a 1.3mntpa urea plant, taking its aggregate capacity to 2.275mntpa by mid CY10. This
expansion will make the company the market leader in urea business in Pakistan, with an
estimated market share of 34%. The planned expansion will be the world’s largest single train
urea plant. The expansion along with benefiting the company will also result in meeting the
demand of the local market thus reducing the amount of invaluable foreign exchange spent by
the GoP on import. We do not foresee a supply glut with the commencement of commercial
operations of the new plant, however in case there is any excess supply, there are various
opportunities in the region where the fertilizer can be exported. We do not expect Engro to gain
additional advantage, in the event of exports, from the heavy differential between local and
international urea prices as the GoP subsidizes the gas (feedstock) heavily to local
manufacturers. Most likely scenario in this case would be GoP buying the excess production from
Engro at the prevailing domestic price and exporting at international prices while pocketing the
price differential.
The new plant along with being fuel-efficient (expected to consume 15% less gas than the
existing plant), will also bring in various other synergies, especially with regards to labor cost.
The expansion will require hiring of a further 300 employees at the plant complex of which 260
will be devoted to the plant while approximately 40 will be required for managerial positions,
translating into 38% increase in labor count (current workforce is 771). Marketing and
distribution is another area where the company will benefit as it already has a well laid out
distribution network and does not need any substantial investment in further building new
channels for sales.

Fertilizer SECTORAL OUTLOOK
AGRICULTURE SECTOR
The undeniable importance of the agriculture sector to the economy of Pakistan is reflected in its
contribution to national output, employment and export earnings. This sector contributes 22% to
the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs 43% of total labor force. Growth in this
area of Economy is vital for poverty alleviation, as about 66 percent of rural population is directly
or indirectly dependent on the agriculture sector for sustenance. Pakistan’s major source of
foreign exchange earnings is the textile sector which also relies on agricultural performance. The
major crops of Pakistan are wheat, cotton, rice and sugarcane, which make up 7% of the
country’s GDP.
Fertilizer has a significant contribution in increasing crop yields and productivity. Proper
application of nutrients helps in efficient utilization of limited natural resources such as land and
water. Fertilizers improve crop yield by removing the deficiency of chemical elements taken from
the soil by harvesting, grazing, leaching or erosion. Coupled with improved seeds, better
insecticides and more effective fungicides, chemical fertilizers play a vital role in boosting
agricultural output. With proper farmer education and increased awareness, the fertilizer off-take
can improve substantially. Nutrient application in suitable quantities can further improve farm
productivity, thereby helping in eradicating poverty.
TYPES OF FERTILIZER
Urea, which represents 65% of total fertilizer consumed and di-ammonium phosphate (DAP),
which accounts for 18%, are the main types of fertilizer used in Pakistan, but there is a total of
eight different fertilizer products which fall into three categories.
Page
12
Urea, along with calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) and ammonium sulphate (AS) together make
up almost three fourths of total fertilizer consumption and come under the nitrogenous category.
Under the phosphatic category which makes up about 27%, is DAP, triple super phosphate (TSP),
single super phosphate (SSP) and nitro phosphate (NP). And under the last category, potassic is
sulphate of potash which makes up only 1%. Since the soil in Pakistan generally tends to be
deficient in nitrogen, urea is the most used fertilizer. DAP is used, as most phosphatic fertilizers
are to counter the effect of the acidic urea and maintain levels of fertility in the soil.
GLOBAL SCENARIO
The world grain consumption has outpaced production in six of the last seven years, with 2005
being the only exception, in which production superseded supply due to favorable weather in
almost all the major grain producing countries. With the growing demand of food and rapid
increase in demand for biofuels, the grain consumption growth has witnessed an increase of 2%
in 2007 from the historical average rate of 1.2% p.a. This has led to a widening gap between
consumption and production resulting in sharp increase in food prices in the global market.
During 2007, total global production of grains was recorded at 2.3bn tons, up 4% YoY. Despite,
the increase in production the global commodity prices have climbed significantly during the
past twelve months on the back of rising demand from emerging economies. Corn, wheat, and
rice account for about 85% of the global grain harvest (in terms of weight), while sorghum,
millet, barley, oats, and other less common grains make up the rest. China, India, and the United
States alone account for 46% of global grain production; Europe, including the former Soviet
states, grow another 21%.
In 2007, a 200mn ton jump in the global coarse grain harvest was responsible for nearly all of the
increase in the total grain harvest. Production of coarse grains a group that includes corn, barley,
sorghum, and other grains fed mainly to animals increased 10% from 985mn tons in 2006 to
1,080mn tons in 2007. During 2007, a significant amount of global corn production was used in
producing biofuels, the use of which is being promoted in developed countries (mainly EU and
USA). Governments in developed countries have been encouraging the use of biofuels primarily
due to (1) Increasing price of international crude oil and (2) Bio-fuels are environment friendly.
Out of a total of 784mn tons of corn harvested during 2007, about 255mn tons or 32.5% was
used in extracting biofuels which has resulted in sharp increase in price of the commodity.
Higher corn prices prompted many a farmers in various countries (China, Brazil and the United
States) to switch to corn harvesting. Another major consumer of grains is the livestock sector,
which accounted for approximately 627mn tons (27%) in the form of feed for the cattle. Demand
of grains from this sector has grown rapidly over the past few years on account of higher
consumption of dairy products and meat by the developing countries especially China, India and
Brazil.
The amount of grain stored by governments, a good measure of the global cushion against poor
harvests and rising prices continues to decline. Global cereal stocks were expected to stand at
318mn tons by the close of the 2007 season, equivalent to about 14 percent of annual
Page

consumption, lowest since many years. In comparison to the global scenario, Pakistan’s food
grain production has witnessed a rising trend over the years registering a 4-year CAGR (FY02-06)
of 5.7% on the back of good harvest of major crops (wheat & rice) which account for almost 84%
of the total grain production of the country.
PRICING
Local Arena

Urea prices have shown a positive trend over the last few years on the back of step-wise
increase in feedstock gas prices, the primary raw-material for urea manufacturing. Government
heavily subsidizes feedstock prices in Pakistan, to keep the urea prices within affordable limits of
the farmers. A 50kg bag of urea is sold at PKR 558-565 (prices were revised upwards in Dec’07)
versus a price of approximately PKR 1000 per bag in the international market. DAP prices on the
other hand have undergone a radical increase during 2007, due to record high phosphoric acid
prices in the international market (a major raw material). Local prices of DAP are highly
correlated with their global rates since over 70% of the commodity used in the country is
imported. As a result, domestic DAP prices have surged during CY07, rising from PKR 800 per
bag at the start of the year to touch PKR 1,680 by Dec’07.
Urea Prices
International urea prices have escalated at a healthy 4-year CAGR (FY03-07) of 19.6%, driven by
its increased usage globally from 128mntpa in 2005 to 138mntpa in 2007. On the other hand
local urea prices have risen at a 4-year CAGR of 6.8% from FY03 to FY07. GOP heavily subsidizes
the feedstock gas prices in order to make available the fertilizer to the local farmers at an
affordable cost. Urea prices are primarily linked to the increase in feedstock gas prices, which
are expected to rise at a next 4-year CAGR of 11% going forward. Consequently we expect local
urea prices to increase at a 4-year CAGR of 5.5% for the period FY07-FY11.
Page
15
DAP Prices
International DAP prices have risen sharply during 2007 (+143% YoY) on the back of rising
demand for the phosphatic fertilizer for harvesting of crops used in production of biofuels. In the
local market, price of DAP fertilizer too has followed suit and has gone up from PKR 873 per 50kg
bag at the start of 2007 to around PKR 1,680 per bag at present. Despite the PKR 470 per bag
subsidy by the GOP, the hefty rise in DAP prices has caused its off-take to drop significantly
during the past few months with many farmers reverting to the use of urea. FFBL the only
producer of DAP and caters to only 31% of the DAP demand of Pakistan while the rest of the
demand is met through imports. Since the local prices are highly correlated to global prices we
estimate DAP prices to increase at a 4-year CAGR (CY07-11E) of 6.3%.
Page
16
DEMAND & SUPPLY
There are nine fertilizer plants in Pakistan with a total installed capacity of 4.35mn tons including
urea, Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), single super phosphate (SSP), calcium ammonium nitrate
(CAN), nitro phosphate (NP) and ammonium sulfate (AS). Total demand of these fertilizers is
estimated to grow at an average of 4% per annum in the medium term. The shortfall of
approximately 1.1mntpa is met through import on which GOP provides subsidies. During FY08,
the GOP allocated a sum of PKR 13.5bn for import of various fertilizers.
Page
17
The graph above shows the demand trend of both major fertilizers, urea and DAP, which has
increased at a 4-year CAGR (CY02-06) of 4.6% and 7.7% respectively. Given the increase in crop
prices, low per acre usage of fertilizers, increasing awareness among the farming community and
vast cultivable land, we estimate demand growth of fertilizers to average over 4% per annum
over the next 4 years.
TAXES
The government has privatized and deregulated fertilizer imports and prices. In 1986, all
subsidies on nitrogenous fertilizers were abolished followed by phosphates in 1993 and potash in
1997. Provincial quotas were abolished, provincial supply organizations in the public sector
abandoned and import controls were lifted. All imports are affected by the private sector. In
2001, the government imposed a 15 percent general sales tax on all fertilizer products. Farmers
have to pay international prices for imported products, apart from urea.
The share of the private sector in fertilizer marketing is 89 percent, compared to 11 percent for
the public sector. The private sector handles about 90 percent of the urea and 100 percent of the
DAP, the two major fertilizer products consumed in the country. A dealer network of about 8 000
retailers exists in the country. Fertilizer companies select and train the dealers. There is no
government intervention. However, under ‘Fertilizer Acts’ promulgated by provinces, fertilizer
quality is monitored by the provincial governments.
The future outlook of the fertilizer sector is very strong because of supportive government
policies, favorable climatic conditions and gas pricing. The Economic Coordination Committee
(ECC) has directed Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) to market an additional 100
Page
18
million cubic feet a day of natural gas from the Qadirpur gas field, close to both Engro and the
FFC.
Short term outlook appears encouraging with significant projections for strong demand for our
fertilizers. In the long term, the Company is committed to achieve sustained levels of operations
at demonstrated operating efficiencies through focus on their fundamental strengths.
Customs duty of 5% was withdrawn from imported urea. A similar withdrawal was done on
imported DAP fertilizer last year this will not affect local manufacturers The medium to long term
projected demand supply gap situation together with commissioning of their BMR projects with
enhanced urea production capacities would further consolidate their market presence and allow
improved returns to the Company and its stakeholders.

Assets:
During 2005 to 2007 there was a decrease in plant assets however it has increased
in 2008 to 55% of total assets. This is due to the impact of expansion which will come online
in 2010
Long term investments of the firm have also shown an increasing during the last
three years.
Another important feature is the decline in receivables. The company might have
tightened its credit policy as result there aren’t many receivables in 2008
During the last two years cash balance have fallen tremendously. This shows that
the company does not want to hold excess cash.
Equity:
The paid up capital contribution has declined over the last couple of years. This shows that
the firm is reluctant to issue more capital. Some possible reasons are payment of
dividends to shareholders.
The share premium account of a company is the capital that a company raises upon
issuing shares that is in excess of the nominal value of the shares. In the last three years
Engro has benefitted greatly from share premium which is expanding the size of it balance
sheet.
Unappropiated profit is another important dimension inequity section of the balance sheet.
Its contribution is increasing over the years. This is the retained earning balance which the
company is carrying for expansion and contingencies.
Liabilities:
We seen an increasing trend in non-current liabilities. The major contributor is long term
loan.
Redeemable capital means shares that are issued for urgent need of funds. The firm
retired its redeemable capital in 2007 and took long term loans which have the highest
portion in 2007 & 2008.

Sales have increased over the years. One important trend that we have seen is the
increase in COGS & Sales is not showing the same trend i.e. cost of production has
increased over the years. The firm in 2008 insisted on controlling its COGS which is a
positive step as there isn’t any remarkable increase in sales but a drastic decline in COGS
As a result of above mentioned steps we have seen an increase in profit from operations in

Assets:
Engro fixed assets have increased sharply in 2007 & 2008, depicting firm’s strategy to
acquire fixed assets for future growth. Also Engro had made significant investments in
long term investments in order to earn from long term projects.
One important development is in the account of long term, loans, other receivables
including derivatives account. The rupee amount declined from 2002-07 but it showed an
increase in 2008.
In the last two years we see a significant rise in Stock in Trade account. This is due to
larger inventory levels which the firm is carrying.
Engro loans, advances and prepayments also have increased sharply due to early
payments of its expenses that will be realized later.
The cash and bank balances have shown a fixed trend over the years. It seems that the
firm does not have a clear policy towards the level of cash.
Fixed Assets have increased more compared to current assets in percentage amount
Equity:
In shareholder’s equity there is one thing which catches our attention and that is the
unappropriated profit account. The firm retained earning balance has increased rapidly
over the years.
The total value of equity has risen by four times in eight years. This is not a significant
increase considering the overall growth of Engro.
Liabilities:
Analyzing non-current liabilities we see a policy shift from equity to debt as principle
source of financing. As the company retired its long term loans 2005-06. However to
finance its expansions the firm took large amount of long term loans.
During the last two years, creditors and accrued liabilities account has doubled.

Assets
In the last two years Engro has invested heavily into plant & equipment as we see in 2007
& 2008 its amount has doubled.
Firm has invested actively in long term investments. This shows the approach of the firm
to have an income stream from other sources on a growing basis.
One notable aspect in the asset side is the low levels of receivables in the latest year
which signifies a change in collection structure of the firm as it might be discounts and
other items to lure creditors to convert receivables into cash quickly
In recent years there has been a significant rise in advances, prepayments & deposits.
In 2008 there is a drastic decline in Engro’s short term investments. This may by due to
lower return on them & a change in policy decision to invest in long term investments
The firm is not maintaining high levels of cash balances and has enough cash to just meet
its operational requirements.
Equity
During the last three years, company has issued share to raise equity but this is not
insignificant compared to the increase in debt in these years.
Engro is retaining a large amount of its earning and not paying it out as dividends, this will
have an impact on dividend payout ratio. Also investors won’t be happy with this policy.
Liabilities
After seeing a declining trend in long term liabilities from 2003 to 2006, Engro has again
resorted to debt to finance its expansions and meet its operational requirements.
The level of current liabilities has increased during the last couple of year but less
compared to long term liabilities. It seems that company is contended with long term
borrowing than short term maybe because of the higher interest charges on long term
liabilities or the Engro might be unable to utilize short term liabilities.

Component Analysis according to Pakistani Rupees
Income Statement
The sales of Engro have increased over the years at a good pace however in 2008 we
don’t see any remarkable improvement.
The cost of sales have shown a slide which shows that the company in 2008 focused on
controlling its cost structure and made many adjustments to it. Same is true for selling &
administrative expenses which has shown just a slight increase.
Although Engro has benefitted greatly from Other income however the impact of this was
nullified due to rising finance charges
Engro hasn’t been hurt much due to its taxes as its tax structure has remained somewhat
consistent around 25%

Income tax burden has shown a mixed trend over the years. Taxes dont have a role in
declining the profitability of the firm. In Engro’s case its pretty high which shows its tax
structure is not affecting its profitability.
The impact of financing option is on Engro profitability and company has maintained it
interest charges in respect of its earnings. However we are seeing a rising trend in its
operations which is a good trend as firm is controlling its operations.
Engro asset turnover has decline over the year which shows its not utilizing its assets very
well. We are also a decline in return on asset. Sales should be increased, costs should be
minimized and debt should be managed well in order to get a higher return.
We have seen that solvency has increased in the last two years this indicates use of debt
to finance operations.
The return on equity (ROE) ratio is a measure of the rate of return to stockholders. As a
result the return on equity has declined. We now that the real cause of this decline is the
declining return on asset that causing the slide.

Insight for Investors
Engro is currently undergoing huge expansions and is a giant diversified conglomerate. As its
expansions are to come online in 2010 we are witnessing a decline in its ratios particularly the
turnover ratios and the return on assets.
I would suggest investors not to lose faith in Engro and off load their holdings because of the
following reasons:
It’s a giant in its industry and will always look after its position in the industry
Engro’s will to always stay ahead and give a tough time to its competitors

Future Projections
Investment in Subsidiaries
Engro has investments in a variety of businesses including chemical storage terminals, PVC resin
manufacturing, a power project and a dairy venture. We estimate payouts from subsidiaries to
Page

grow at a 5-year CAGR of 16% (CY07-12E) on the back of capacity expansions which are likely to
come online during CY09-11E.
Enhancement of Engro Vopak’s storage capacity by 50% is likely to come online by CY09E.
Engro Polymer and Chemical Ltd’s capacity is being increased by 50% given the strong
demand of PVC pipes in Pakistan for irrigation, electrical insulation etc.
Engro Foods Ltd (EFL) has increased its milk processing capacity by 300% during CY07.
Furthermore, the company plans to invest another PKR 3.4bn over the next 2 years in
establishing a dairy farm and launching an ice cream venture.
Engro Energy has obtained Letter of Support (LoS) from PPIB for establishing a 220MW gas
fired IPP at a cost of USD 228mn which is likely to commence commercial operation in 2009.
IPP projects yield low-risk returns which will provide stable stream of revenues to the
company going forward.

Problems & their Solution
Engro has increased its inventory levels, most notably in the last couple of years. As a
result might be incurring carrying and handling cost. The inventory levels should be
reduced to control these costs.
For the first time in the last year Engro witnessed a negative cash flow. This shows that
Engro is loosing money on its operations. This is mainly due to higher interest charges which has
to be controlled
Utilization of Assets
Engro is inefficient in utilizing in assets. Part of this reason is the expansions which are
underway at Engro. However it lags the industry average. As in 2008 there was just a marginal
increase in sales compared to its increase in assets. This has to be taken into account.
Rising Debt
Rising debt post another problem for Engro. The effect of this was evident in 2008 as
Engro paid an great interest charges. Issue equity
Declining Margins
Engro’s profit margins have also declined. It although has improved its operational
efficiency but the impact is not seen due to a small rise in assets
Market ratios indicate that Engro’s investors are losing their trust on the stock. However in
must also be kept in mind of the harsh economic enviourment in the last two years. But
this is not alone the reason. Engro is not paying its shareholders less dividends. It has to
pay more dividends
