Summary of Latest Earnings Report from Gujarat Narmada Valley Fert.Co.

Summary of Gujarat Narmada Valley Fert.Co.'s latest earnings call, featuring management's outlook on business performance, financial results, and analyst Q&A sessions that highlight key strategic initiatives and market challenges.

Last updated:

The management of Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GNFC) provided the following outlook and key points during their Q2 FY2024-25 earnings call:

Outlook:

  • H2 FY2024-25 Expectations: Anticipated improvement in performance due to higher production volumes and no major plant downtimes (unlike H1, which saw shutdowns at Dahej). Chemical segment contributions are expected to stabilize with normalized realizations.
  • CAPEX Projects: Three ongoing projects worth Rs.2,200 crore: weak nitric acid plant (Rs.1,400 crore), ammonia make-up loop (Rs.227 crore), and coal-based power plant (Rs.613 crore). A decision on the ammonium nitrate melt project is expected by January 2025.
  • Strategic Initiatives: Kearney consultants are advising on future investment strategies and operational efficiency improvements to boost profitability.

Major Points:

  1. Operational Challenges:

    • Dahej TDI Plant: Production loss of ~14,000 MT in Q2 due to shutdowns, impacting chemical segment revenue and contribution (Rs.170 crore revenue loss, Rs.62 crore contribution loss).
    • Chemical Segment Pressures: Weak demand for aniline, monsoon-related disruptions in ammonium nitrate (AN melt), and competitive pricing affected realizations.
  2. Fertilizer Performance:

    • Strong volume growth in complex fertilizers and urea, supported by full Dahej plant operations. Subsidy inflows remain consistent.
  3. Financial Highlights:

    • Cost Reductions: Lower personnel costs (provision write-backs), reduced catalyst expenses, and Rs.15 crore savings in finance costs.
    • Segment Results: Fertilizer revenue rose, while chemical segment revenue declined.
  4. Policy & Subsidies:

    • Revised energy norms (effective April 2025) and urea fixed-cost revisions under discussion with the government.
  5. Balance Sheet:

    • Dividend outflows (Rs.230 crore) and CAPEX advances (Rs.190 crore). Cash reserves remain robust but include non-liquid investments (e.g., equity holdings).

The management remains focused on stabilizing chemical operations, leveraging CAPEX for growth, and improving margins through strategic initiatives. No specific guidance was provided on urea subsidy adjustments.

Last updated:

1. What was the volume lost at the Dahej TDI-II plant in Q2?
The Dahej TDI-II plant lost approximately 14,000 metric tons in Q2, with total production at 5,000 metric tons (entirely from TDI-I). Cumulative volume loss from June 2024 onward was 16,000 metric tons.

2. What was the PBT loss for TDI in Q2?
The PBT loss for Dahej TDI operations in Q2 was around Rs.62 crores due to reduced contribution and Rs.170 crore lower realizations. Combined with Q1's Rs.59 crore loss, total losses reached ~Rs.121 crore over H1.

3. When will the CNA plant achieve optimal utilization?
The CNA plant is expected to operate at 90"“100% capacity post-Dahej turnaround. Current utilization was lower due to captive demand shifts. Weak nitric acid (WNA) sales (21,000 tons in Q2) were prioritized for better realizations.

4. How is ammonia production allocated between fertilizers and chemicals?
Ammonia production is split ~58% for fertilizers and ~42% for chemicals. No external ammonia was sold; some was procured internally. Annual oil consumption for ammonia ranges 250,000"“270,000 metric tons, with prices stable despite crude volatility.

5. What is the methanol production outlook?
Methanol production totaled 66,000 metric tons in H1. Future output depends on natural gas prices and market realizations, with no fixed breakeven gas cost disclosed.

6. What is the status of ongoing CAPEX projects?
Of the Rs.2,200 crore CAPEX, Rs.250 crore was spent on the coal-based power plant (Rs.613 crore total), Rs.190 crore advanced for weak nitric acid expansion, and minimal spent on the ammonia loop (Rs.227 crore total).

7. How do cash reserves and subsidies impact financials?
Cash reserves stand at ~Rs.2,000 crore, with Rs.1,100 crore in non-liquid equity. Fixed-cost subsidy revisions (under government discussion) could improve fertilizer margins, but impact remains uncertain.
