Investment Rationale

Dhanuka Agritech Ltd (Dhanuka) reported consolidated revenue of Rs. 318 Cr compared to Rs. 276 Cr YoY up 15%. This quarter witnessed modest de-growth due to three cyclones in southern India (which contribute>1/3rd of the industry’s agrochemicals sales) which muted the consumption of agrochemicals. EBITDA Margin came in at 20% and was 475 bps above estimates and 232bps lower YoY, led by gross margin expansion, reduced employee expenses and controlled other expenses. EBITDA stood at Rs 65 Cr, beating estimates by ~10%. Effective PAT came in at Rs 55 Cr beating our estimates by 21% and higher ~14% YoY. The brokerage expects the company to continue a healthy growth trajectory going forward on the back of new product launches and a better Kharif season in FY23 on account of moderate expected rainfall and high commodity prices. It revises outlook from Hold to BUY with a revised TP of Rs. 800 per share valuing the stock at 14x FY24E EPS.
