Company performance

CRIN's overall volumes in Oct-Nov'21 fell by 20% YoY due to a 78% fall in trading volumes, however, manufacturing volumes grew 12%. Growth in manufacturing volumes is aided by a favorable base in FY21. Additionally, total phosphatic fertilizer volumes grew 6% YoY in Oct-Nov'21 (on the back of a 6% YoY growth in Oct-Nov'20 and 8% YoY growth in the base quarter). The growth in phosphatic fertilizer volumes was on the back of 40% YoY growth in DAP volumes. However, the price hike in Phosphoric acid which accounts for 38-40% of CRIN's total raw material cost, is a challenge for the manufacturer.

According to Motilal Oswal, "Despite an increase in government subsidy, we expect CRIN's EBITDA margin to remain under pressure as the industry has not taken adequate price hikes due to government restrictions to adequately cover the increase in commodity cost...The structural story remains intact with regard to increasing awareness among farmers about having balanced nutrients in crops. This is likely to aid the shift to complex fertilizers from urea, of which CRIN would be a key beneficiary."
