Analyst Pin-board LTG – Plant protection business: challenges in 2022 create growth opportunities for 2023

·         1H2022 revenue of the plant protection business (also named LTV) of Loc Troi Group (Upcom: LTG) had a negative growth of -6.6% YoY to VND1,948 bn. In Dec-2021, LTG terminated the partnership with Syngenta (accounting for ~30% of total sales of LTV), dragged down the revenue of LTV in 2022.

·         To fuel long-term growth of this business without Syngenta, LTG is restructuring its selling policy. Consequently, the Q2/2022 gross margin of the LTV segment went down to 20.6% (-2,890 bps QoQ; -1,450 bps YoY).  We expect that LTG will continue extending the new selling policy in 2H2022. As a result, 2022 gross margin of LTV will have a hard time to improve.   

·         We believe that the 2022 performance will reflect all of the negative effect of the termination of the Syngenta partnership. 2023 results  are expected to show growth due to 1) 2022 low-base; 2) higher market share thanks to the successful selling strategy; and 3) LTG ‘s agriculture ecosystem.
