Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

1 INTRODUCTION

Engro Fertilizers Limited is a subsidiary of Engro Corporation and a renowned name in

Pakistan’s fertilizer industry. It is traded on the stock market under the symbol ‘EFERT. Engro

holds a vast, nationwide production and marketing infrastructure and produces leading fertilizer

brands optimized for local cultivation needs and demand. Engro is also a leading importer and

seller of Phosphate products, which are marketed extensively across Pakistan as phospatic

fertilizers.Our extensive market development activities have ensured a sustained pull for our

primary and secondary fertilizer products and sellout productions since launch. Engro Fertilizers

Limited enjoys loyal customer base across Pakistan owing to its trusted fertilizer brands and

continual farmer assistance in training and education.

Engro Fertilizers Limited was incorporated in June 2009, following a decision to demerge

fertilizer concern from its parent company Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited. The continual

expansions and diversifications in its enterprises necessitated a broad restructuring in Engro

Chemical operations and management. To facilitate better oversight, Engro Chemical Pakistan

was converted into a holding company named Engro Corporation, and its fertilizer business was

subsequently demerged to a newly formed Engro subsidiary –Engro Fertilizers Limited.Engro’s

fertilizer manufacturing facility at Daharki has been experiencing ongoing expansion. This,

coupled with distinct dynamics of highly nuanced fertilizer industry warranted an independent

and dedicated business entity and approach. The demerger of fertilizer concern was approved by

High Court of Sind on December 9th, 2009, making it effective as of January 1st 2010.

Engro Fertilizers is poised to become the leading urea manufacturer in the country following

major upgrading of its manufacturing capabilities. ENVEN 1.3–a tremendous expansion in

Engro’s urea manufacturing facility went into production in November 2010 and looks set to end

Page 4 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

Pakistan’s near-term urea imports, leading to benefits of an expanded local urea base and savings

in national exchequer.

Engro is a dynamic company driven by a vision to improve productivity and lifestyle for

thousands of farmers across Pakistan. Engro Fertilizers Limited has earned itself a distinguished

name by continually striving to uphold its tradition and trust of its loyal consumer base.

1.1 Vision

Promoting the growth of communities around Engro’s supply chain and giving people equal

access to choices, opportunities and the ability to exercise their rights. Engro Foundation is

constantly striving to further develop our strategy and move our work towards greater

sustainable impact. Our objective going forward is to improve livelihoods in our value chains

and empower communities towards identifying goals and priorities for better local outcomes.

Engro Foundation aims to realize the dreams of our people to make a difference in the lives of

those around us and in our value chain. At Engro, we believe in the power of Pakistan’s human

capital to change the face of communities and economies and make them agents of a wider

change.

1.2 Mission

Engro Foundation is committed to make a positive impact in the lives of those living in

communities around its supply chain through the provision of improved basic services (health,

infrastructure, water and sanitation); education and skill development; environment and

livelihood training. In addition, it works with partner organizations to provide financial and

technical support in response to natural calamities.

Through its network of facilities across Pakistan, Engro aims to make a difference in

communities where average household income borders on or is below the poverty benchmark.

Engro Foundation works across rural and suburban Pakistan in partnership with development

organizations to create a trickledown effect of resource development, enabling indigenous

communities to sustain economies, employ their human resources, and learn the critical skills

they need to be part of the mainstream economy.

2 LIQUIDITY RATIOS

2.1 Current Ratio

The Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current liabilities

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= Rs.28,540m/ Rs.30,949m = Rs.36,551m/ Rs.35,810m = Rs. 27,215m/ Rs. 32,326m
= 0.922 = 1.02 =0.842

2.1.1 Analysis

The Ratio has declined from 1.02 to 0.92. The trend is negative, however the ratio is still higher

than Fauji fertilizer’s ratio i: e 0.842 which shows the company is in a better position to pay off

current liabilities as compared to other major players in the industry.

Current assets have declined at a higher rate of 21.2% as compared to decline in current

liabilities which is 13.6%.

2.1.2 Reasons

 Short-term investments have decreased from Rs. 25,084m to Rs. 10,985m.

 Cash and bank balances have decreased from Rs. 4443m to Rs. 865m.

 Derivative financial instruments have decreased from Rs. 1090m to Rs. 366m.

Page 6 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

 Trade and Other payables have decreased from Rs. 24727m to Rs. 16887m.

 Cash conversion cycle is negative.

2.1.3 Solution

 Generating more cash.

 Delay payments to creditors to acceptable extent.

 Improve CCC.

 Increase current assets

 Reduce current liabilities.

2.2 Quick Ratio

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets- Inventory) /Current liabilities

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= (Rs. 28,540m- Rs. = (Rs. 36,551m - Rs. = (Rs. 27,215 - Rs. 8,496m)/
11,581m)/ Rs. 30,949m 5,815m)/ Rs. 35,810m Rs. 32,326m
= 0.55 = 0.86 =0.58

2.2.1 Analysis

The ratio has declined from 0.86 to 0.55. The trend is negative but still the ratio is comparable to

Fauji fertilizer’s ratio.

Quick Ratio has declined at a higher rate as compared to Current Ratio because of the impact of

increased amount of inventory which offsets the decline in short term investment and cash in the

case of current ratio.

2.2.2 Reasons

 Short-term investments have decreased from Rs. 25,084m to Rs. 10,985m.

Page 7 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

 Cash and bank balances have decreased from Rs. 4443m to Rs. 865m.

 Derivative financial instruments have decreased from Rs. 1090m to Rs. 366m.

 Trade and Other payables have decreased from Rs. 24727m to Rs. 16887m.

 Cash conversion cycle is negative.

 Company is paying dues too quickly and not holding money.

 Company is slow in collecting account receivables.

 Inventory has increased from Rs. 5815m to Rs. 11581.

2.2.3 Solution

 Generating more cash.

 Delay payments to creditors to acceptable extent.

 Increase current assets

 Reduce current liabilities.

 Increase sales to reduce inventory

3 ASSET MANAGEMENT RATIOS (EFFICIENCY OR ACTIVITY RATIOS)

3.1 Receivable Activities

Receivable Activities = Annual Sales / Receivables

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= Rs. 87,615m/ Rs. 1,918m = Rs. 61,425m/ Rs. 452m =Rs. 84,831m/Rs. 3871m
= 45.68 = 135.896 = 21.914

Page 8 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

3.1.1 Analysis

Ratio has declined from 135.896 to 45.68. The sales have increased along with receivables than

last year. However the ratio is still better than Fauji Fert’s ratio which is 21.914. Hence Engro

Fert’s AR to cash conversion is still better than Fauji Fert.

3.1.2 Reasons

 Company might be pursuing market share increase strategy.

 Account receivables duration has increased as compared to the last year due to which

pending amount has increased.

 Bad debt customers might have increased causing the ratio to decrease.

3.1.3 Solution

 Receivables need to be collected more efficiently.

 New policies for account receivables collection need to be devised.

 Customers not paying amount need to be visited in case of any issue found in the product.

 Company needs to be decrease reliance on credit sales.

3.2 Days Sale Outstanding (Receivable Turnover in Days)

Receivable Turnover in Days = (Receivable * Days in year) / Annual Sales

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= (Rs. 1,918m *360 days)/ Rs. = (Rs. 452m *360 days)/ Rs. =( Rs. 3871m *360
87,615m 61,425m days)/ Rs. 84,831m
= 7.88 days = 2.649 days = 16.43 days

Page 9 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

3.2.1 Analysis

The number of days has increased from 2.65 to 7.88. The sales have increased along with

receivable. However the numbers of days are still better than Fauji Fert’s which is 16.43 days.

Hence Engro Fert’s AR to cash conversion is still better than Fauji Fert.

3.2.2 Reasons

 Company might be pursuing market share increase strategy.

 Account receivables duration has increased as compared to the last year due to which

pending amount has increased.

 Bad debt customers might have increased causing the ratio to decrease.

3.2.3 Solution

 Receivables need to be collected more efficiently.

 New policies for account receivables collection need to be devised.

 Customers not paying amount need to be visited in case of any issue found in the product.

 Company needs to be decrease reliance on credit sales.

3.3 Payable Turnover in Days

Payable Turnover in Days = (Accounts Payable * Days in year) / CGS

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= (Rs.16,887m*360 = (Rs.24,727m*360 = (Rs. 8,114 m*360 days)/Rs.
days)/ Rs. 55,435m days)/Rs. 38,822m 55,949m
= 109.67 days = 229.30 days = 52.21 days

Page 10 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

3.3.1 Analysis

The number of days has decreased from 229.30 to 109.67. Cost of goods sold has increased

however the accounts payable amount has decreased w.r.t previous year which is good from

creditor’s perspective. However Fauji Fert’s PTD is much less than Engro this year i: e. 52.21

days.

The trend is positive however the contribution of decrease in accounts payable is less than that of

increase in CGS, in overall decline.

3.3.2 Reasons

 Accounts payable amount has decreased which could be due to efficient payment

processes.

3.4 Inventory Turnover in Days

Inventory Turnover in Days = (Inventory * Days in year) / CGS

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= (Rs.11581m*360 days)/ Rs. = (5,815m *360 days)/Rs. = (Rs. 8,496m *360
55,435m 38,822m days)/Rs. 55,949m
= 74.77 days = 53.92 days = 54.67 days

3.4.1 Analysis

The number of days has increased from 53.92 to 74.77. Inventory has increased a lot from last

year whereas CGS has also increased. The trend is negative and worse as compared to Fauji

Fert’s turnover days.

3.4.2 Reasons

 Sales have not increased as compared to the increase in inventory.

Page 11 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

 Production have been increased which is higher than the market demand.

 Wrong marketing policy have been adopted which resulted in lower sales as forecast.

 Distribution channel has been disturbed which resulted in increased inventory in

warehouses.

 Government policy might has affected the sale of product.

3.4.3 Solution

 Improved distribution channel.

 Better marketing policy.

 Revised pricing if necessary

 Product improvement for better sales.

3.5 Cash Conversion Cycle

CCC = Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) + Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) - Days Payable

Outstanding (DPO)

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= 74.77 days + 7.88 days - = 53.92 days + 2.649 days = 54.67 days +16.43 days -
109.67 days - 229.30 days 52.21 days
= -27.02 = -172.731 = 18.89

Page 12 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

3.6 Fixed Asset Turnover

Fixed Asset Turnover = Sales / Net Fixed Assets

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015

= Rs. 87,615m / Rs. 72,193m = Rs. 61,425m /Rs. 74,963m = Rs. 84,831m/Rs. 21,382m

= 1.21 = 0.819 = 3.97

3.6.1 Analysis

The ratio has increased from 0.819 to 1.21 which means better utilization of fixed assets for

conversion to sales. Fixed assets have slightly decreased however Sales have increased.

Engro Fert’s ratio is much less than that of Fauji Ferts ratio which means improvement is

required in this area.

3.6.2 Reasons

 Company might have written off some fixed asset.

 Sales have improved.

 Underutilized fixed assets in comparison to Fauji Fert.

 Operation at much less production capacity as compared to Fauji Fert.

3.6.3 Solution

 Improved distribution channel.

 Better marketing policy.

 Revised pricing if necessary.

 Product improvement for better sales.

Page 13 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

 Improve Equipment utilization

3.7 Total Asset Turnover

Total Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015

= Rs. 87,615m / Rs. 105,382m = Rs. 61,425m /Rs. 111,726m = Rs. 84,831m/Rs. 80,130m

= 0.831 = 0.55 = 1.06

3.7.1 Analysis

The ratio has increased from 0.55 to 0.831 which means better utilization of total assets for

conversion to sales. Total assets have slightly decreased however Sales have increased.

Engro Fert’s ratio is less than that of Fauji Ferts ratio which means improvement is required in

this area.

3.7.2 Reasons

 Company might have written off some fixed asset.

 Sales have improved.

 Underutilized fixed assets in comparison to Fauji Fert.

 Operation at much less production capacity as compared to Fauji Fert.

3.7.3 Solution

 Improved distribution channel.

 Better marketing policy.

 Revised pricing if necessary.

Page 14 of 26

 Improve Equipment utilization

4 PROFITABILTIY RATOS

4.1 Net Profit Margins on Sales

Profit Margins on Sales = Net income * 100% / Net Sales

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= Rs. 15027m * 100% / Rs. = Rs. 8208m * 100% / Rs. = Rs. 16,766 m * 100% / Rs.
87,615m 61,425m 84,831m
= 17.15% = 13.36% = 19.76%

4.1.1 Analysis

The percentage has increased from 13.36% to 17.15%. Net sales have increased in comparison to

last year along with net income. However the percentage is less than that of Fauji Fert.

4.1.2 Reasons

 Finance cost of Engro i: e Rs. 4,588m is much higher than that of Fauji Rs. 1,475m

which results in decreased net income despite higher sales.

 Alternate is available in market which resulted in reduced price hence lower profit.

4.1.3 Solution

 Reduce Finance cost.

 Increase Equity

 Reduce liabilities.

Page 15 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

4.2 Gross Profit Margin

Gross Profit Margins = Gross Profit * 100% / Net Sales

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= Rs. 32180m * 100% / Rs. = Rs. 22603m * 100% / Rs. = Rs. 28,882m * 100% / Rs.
87,615m 61,425m 84,831m
= 36.73% = 36.80% = 34.05%

4.2.1 Analysis

The ratio has slightly decreased as of last year. Gross profit and sales both have increased

slightly from last year. However this percentage is better than that of Fauji Fert’s percentage.

4.2.2 Reasons

 Production has been increased which increased sales and profit

4.2.3 Solution

 Improve efficiency and effectiveness.

 Improve productivity.

 Control cost by using better technology.

4.3 Return on Investment (ROI) or Return on Assets (ROA)

Return on Assets = Net Income * 100% / Total Assets

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= Rs. 15027m * 100% / = Rs. 8208m * 100% / = Rs. 16,766 m * 100% /
Rs. 105,382m Rs. 111,726m Rs. 80,130m
= 14.26% = 7.347% = 20.92%

Page 16 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

4.3.1 Analysis

The percentage has increased from 7.347 to 14.26 which show an increase in utilization of assets.

This is good from creditor’s point of view as it is a significant ratio for creditors. However the

percentage is less as compared to that of Fauji Fert’s percentage.

4.3.2 Reasons

 Company might have written off some fixed asset.

 Sales have improved.

 Underutilized fixed assets in comparison to Fauji Fert.

 Operation at much less production capacity as compared to Fauji Fert.

4.3.3 Solution

 Improved distribution channel.

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015

= Rs. 15027m * 100% / Rs. = Rs. 8208m * 100% / Rs. = Rs. 16,766 m * 100% /
42,526m 34,478m Rs. 27,311m

= 35.34% = 23.81% = 61.39%

Page 17 of 26
Project Report Ratio Analysis of Engro Fertilizers

4.4.1 DuPont Analysis

ROE = Profit Margin * Total Asset Turnover * Equity Multiplier

Profit Margin = Net Income / Net Sales


Total Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Assets
Equity Multiplier = Assets / Equity

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
= (Rs. 15027m / Rs. = (Rs. 8208m / Rs. = (Rs. 16,766 m /Rs.
87,615m) * (Rs. 87,615m / 61,425m) * (Rs. 61,425m / 84,831m) * (Rs. 84,831m
Rs. 105,382m) * (Rs. Rs. 111,726m) * (Rs. /Rs. 80,130m) * (Rs.
105,382 m/ Rs. 42,526m) 111,726m / Rs. 34,478m) 80,130m /Rs. 27,311m)
= 0.1715*0.8314*2.4781 = 0.1336*0.5498*3.2405 = 0.1976*1.0587*2.934
= 35.34% = 23.81% = 61.39%

4.4.2 Analysis

The percentage has increased from 23.81% to 35.34%. Shareholder’s equity has increased

slightly and net income has also increased. The trend is positive however it is much less than that

of Fauji Ferts.

4.4.3 Reasons

 Increase in net income is majorly dependent on debt financing which is indicated by the

current ratio.

 Sales have improved.

4.4.4 Solution

 Reduce finance cost.

5 DEBT MANAGEMENT OR FINANCIAL LEVERAGE RATIOS

5.1 Debt to Equity Ratio

Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Equity

Engro Fert Fauji Fert


2015 2014 2015
