FFBL: 3QCY21 Result Review

  • Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited (FFBL) announced its 3QCY21 NPAT of PkR2.27bn (EPS: PkR1.76), down 13%QoQ/31%YoY, undershooting our estimates. This takes cumulative 9MCY21 NPAT to PkR6.15bn (EPS: PkR4.76) vs loss of PkR901mn (LPS: PkR0.7) in same period last year.
  • The sales of the company clocked in at PkR38.45bn, swelling by 127%QoQ/53%YoY on account of higher expected offtake in i) DAP (+145%YoY) and ii) Urea (+17/+35%YoY%QoQ) whereas gross margin has clocked in at 22.2% compared to 15.7% in same period last year owing to higher DAP margins, in line with our expectations.
  • The company registered other income of PkR4.1bn as it successfully completed the sale transaction of Fauji Wind Energy Limited I & II (FWEL I & II).
  • The company has recorded unusual expense of PkR4.2bn under the head of other expenses, which completely nullified the gain from the sale of FWEL I & II. We are in process to get clarity from the management regarding the unusual expense.
  • In addition to other expense, the company has recorded impairment of its subsidiary Fauji Meat Limited (FML) worth PkR2.1bn, further bringing down the earnings by PkR1.6/sh.
