PI boasts of a unique business model—a strong R&D-led custom synthesis
business (59% of revenues) built over the last two decades and an equally
compelling domestic agro-chemicals business (41% of revenues), largely built by
in-licensing arrangements with major global agro-chemicals innovators.
With a mere 10% penetration, we believe there is untapped growth potential in
PI’s largest product—Nominee Gold, which along with new products like Osheen,
Vibrant will continue to drive growth momentum for domestic agro-chemicals.
With a strong order book amounting to USD600m, the CSM business has robust
revenue visibility—book-to-bill of 3.1x; which will be complemented by upcoming
facilities in Jambusar. We believe the foray into new segments like
pharmaceuticals and electronics chemicals will be the next key growth drivers.
With best-in-class capital efficiency (40% RoCE, debt-free balance sheet, robust
growth outlook—23% revenue CAGR and 26% PAT CAGR), we believe PI is one of
the best plays on India’s agri sector and CSM opportunities. Initiate coverage with
a Buy.
In-licensing—a key differentiator against rest of the peers
PI has managed exclusive tie-ups with patent originators, led by its track record
of respecting innovator’s IPR. The company’s focus on selected and patented
innovative products through in-licensing differentiates it from the rest of the
market participants, who sell largely generic products with little product
differentiation. PI currently has a product portfolio spanning 33 brands across
categories (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and specialty chemicals),
including 5-6 products that are in-licensed and 10-12 products that are co-
marketed. With higher proportion of in-licensed and co-marketing revenues as
against generic products, PI enjoys industry-leading margins (16%) in the
domestic agro-chemicals division.

Nominee Gold growth to continue despite new competition
PI launched Nominee Gold in FY10 (as a tie up with Japan based innovator
Kumiai), which went on to become a blockbuster product—clocking highest
revenues and margins amongst its product portfolio. With likely easing of
registration process for 9 (4), we believe competitive intensity will increase
going forward and could result in some extent of price and margin erosion for
the product. However, with product penetration still very low (only 10% of the
area under rice cultivation covered by Nominee Gold as against potential for at
least 30%, with dosage being a fraction of the ideal dosage), we believe
Nominee Gold will continue to grow as the market expands. We believe the
fears around price, margin erosion and de-growth for the product are
unfounded.

Osheeen—the second blockbuster product after Nominee Gold
In FY13, PI launched Osheen—an insecticide—through an in-licensing deal with
Japan’s Mitsui Chemicals. Just like PI’s other products, Osheen has proved to be
a runaway success with sales for the first two years reaching INR1b. Osheen
continues to be the second biggest product for PI after Nominee Gold. OSHEEN
has effectively managed the Brown Plant Hoppers in rice for a number of years
in the leading rice growing countries. PI spent nearly six years on Osheen’s
development. After rice, PI extended the product to cotton and is looking to
extend to vegetables as well.
Capabilities + Trust = Ideal choice for global innovators in CSM
Custom synthesis and manufacturing involves trust as it the most critical factor,
as it is an IPR-driven business and requires capabilities to scale up production
from lab scale work to dedicated plant. PI’s longstanding relationship with global
innovators in the agro-chemical space is a testament to capabilities and trust it
has built over the years. The company has been in the CSM business for the last
20 years and it will take long gestation period for any new entrant to acquire
knowledge, create strong R&D capabilities, infrastructure and build trust, which
acts as a major entry barrier. PI also participates in patented and early-stage life
cycle of the molecules, which again acts as an entry barrier as innovator
companies have only one or two suppliers due to the confidentiality involved.
Robust order book, complemented by upcoming Jambusar facility, will
convert into revenue CAGR of 27% in CSM
PI has an order book USD600mn (which is 3.1x its FY15 revenue USD187m) from
CSM exports on account of 18 molecules already commercialized in the past.
The company also intends to commercialize two more molecules in the next 2-3
months which will continue to add to order book in future. New Jambusar
facility, which is likely to be commissioned in the next 4-5months, is expected to
generate revenue of INR5b-6b at maturity and takes about 1-1.5 years to fully
scale the plant.
Leveraging existing capabilities to diversify beyond agro-chemicals
PI has created strong capabilities in R&D. The general nature of the
intermediates that it manufactures is such that they can be applied in other
verticals of chemicals sector (like pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals used in
electronics sector) with some modification; these verticals can be new growth
opportunities for PI and will in turn expand its customer base and geographical
reach.
Valuation and view
With best-in-class capital efficiency (40% RoCE, debt-free balance sheet, robust
growth outlook (23% revenue CAGR and 26% PAT CAGR), we believe PI is one of
the best plays on India’s agri sector and CSM opportunities. We believe mix
change in favor of the R&D intensive CSM business would continue to drive re-
rating for the stock. PI trades at 31x and 23x FY16 and FY17 EPS. We initiate
coverage with a
Buy
with a target price of INR800, valuing the stock at 28x
FY17E earnings.

Company overview
Unique mix of domestic agro-chemicals and CSM exports
Mr. Piyush Singhal founded PI Industries in 1947 as Mewar Oil and General Mills
Limited, which was predominantly into edible oils business. A decade later, the
company started selling agro-chemicals. The name was changed to PI Industries in
1990s. PI has two business activities:
a)
Domestic Agri Inputs (41% of revenues)
offering plant protection products, and
specialty plant nutrient products and solutions. PI has a strong rural reach and
brand equity, with millions of Indian farmers duly backed by a robust pipeline of
products for sustained growth in the sector.
b)
Custom Synthesis & Manufacturing (CSM) (59% of revenues)
for contract
research and production of agro-chemicals, intermediates and other niche fine
chemicals for global innovators. The business, backed with a strong R&D
support, works to develop and commercialize products based on newly
discovered chemistries with reputed MNC innovators.

Higher share of in-licensing differentiates PI from peers
In licensing early-stage molecules gives PI an edge
PI’s focus on selected and patented innovative products through in-licensing
differentiates it from market participants, who sell largely generic products with little
product differentiation.
The business faces procedural entry barriers in India in the form of protracted
registration process and a three-year exclusive data protection for the product post
registration.
After India became TRIPS compliant in 2005 and started giving patent protection,
MNCs turned comfortable launching their patented products in India; Indian
companies, too, have been able to in-license many patented products from global
innovators in this better IP environment.
Unique business model of in-licensing
PI works on a unique model of in-licensing new molecules from global innovators
and nurturing the same into strong brand propositions in the Indian agro-chemical
market; these are high-performance, high potential, early-stage products over which
PI enjoys exclusive marketing rights. Some of the key brands include NOMINEE
GOLD, OSHEEN, KEEFUN, BIOVITA, KITAZIN, FORATOX, FOSMITE and ROKET.
Depending upon the agreement with the global innovator, PI either imports the
technical or bulk formulations or chooses to manufacture either of the two at its
owned factories in India. The agreements are typically formed with innovators for
early-stage patented molecules in a way that PI can realize the growth benefit
throughout the entire product life cycle. In-licensing products enjoy exclusivity and
market leadership and with ~60% of domestic agro-chemical revenues coming from
in-licensing, PI enjoys best-in-class margins in this segment over peers.
Exhibit 5: Product-focused approach by operating in select key brands
TRIPS—a game changer for patented products’ entry in India
Implementation of The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
Rights (TRIPS) in 2005 in India was a game changer for patented products’ entry in
the country. TRIPS is an international agreement administered by the World Trade
Organization (WTO) that sets down minimum standards for many forms of
intellectual property (IP) regulation as applied to nationals of other WTO member
countries. The agreement was negotiated at the end of the Uruguay Round of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1994. With the implementation
of TRIPS, product patents were applicable instead of process patent—a major break-
through for global patent owners. In the era of process patents, Indians reverse
engineered the processes to arrive at the same product; thus circumventing the
patent law. After India became TRIPS compliant in 2005 and started giving patent
protection, MNCs turned comfortable launching their patented products in India;
Indian companies, too, have been able to in-license many patented products from
global innovators in this better IP environment.

Non-compete model makes PI the preferred partner for innovators
Over the last 20 years, PI has won the trust of global innovators and remains their
preferred partner owing to its blemish-free record in terms of patent disputes and
litigations and its commitment to intellectual property right (IPR) protection.
In-licensing—a key differentiator for the company
PI has managed to have exclusive tie-ups with patent originators, led by its track
record of respecting innovators’ IPR. The company’s focus on selected and patented
innovative products through in-licensing differentiates it from the rest of the market
participants who sell largely generic products with little product differentiation. PI
currently has a product portfolio spanning 33 brands across categories (herbicides,
insecticides, fungicides and specialty chemicals), including 5-6 products that are in-
licensed and 10-12 products that are co-marketed. With higher proportion of in-
licensed and co-marketing revenues as against generic products, PI enjoys industry-

Massive entry barriers make the business model exciting
PI has built its reputation over 20 years through innovative products, respect for IPs,
long-term relationships with global innovators and farmer acceptability. Any new
product by the company becomes immensely successful on the back of its
effectiveness, marketing, brand value, early-stage nature and acceptability to
farmers. Considerable time and costs are required for any company to replicate the

success of PI. Besides, the business faces procedural entry barriers in India in the
form of protracted registration process and a three-year exclusive data protection
for the product post registration.
Strong product pipeline provides multi-year growth visibility
PI’s success is driven by the effectiveness of its products. At any given point of time,
the company has a niche pipeline of products under different stages of
registration—from which it introduces one or two products every year before Kharif
or Rabi season. Since the products are of early-stage patented molecules, the multi-
year growth potential is robust—with very high growth in the initial years of launch.
PI banks on its strategy of selective alliances to broaden product offerings and
strengthen market position. The company currently has 5-6 products in pipeline,
which will be launched over the next three years—with an annual target of 2-3
products.

Strong pan-India distribution network
PI has a wide distribution network, covering more than ~35,000 retail points,
~10,000 distributors/direct dealers and 29 branches across major agricultural areas
of India. The company has a strong reach in north, west and east of India, and is
gradually expanding its presence in the south. PI has a centralized SAP-based ERP
system, which provides an efficient last-mile connectivity through effective supply
chain management and inventory handling. PI provides delivery of products as per
the requirement through its just-in-time management of stocks, thereby avoiding
excess inventory.

Nominee Gold growth to continue; scale-up of recent
launches, new products to maintain growth momentum
New products like Osheen, Vibrant to be the new growth drivers
Given the extremely low penetration levels for Nominee Gold (only 10% of the area
under rice cultivation covered as against potential for at least 30%, with with dosage
being a fraction of the ideal dosage), we believe it has tremendous headroom for
growth as the market expands. We believe the fears around price, margin erosion and
de-growth for the product are overdone.
Launched in FY13, OSHEEN is PI’s second largest product and is reputed to be the most
reliable solution to manage Brown Plant Hoppers in rice. An INR1b brand, we expect
OSHEEN to be the largest growth driver for PI over coming years.
PI recently launched Vibrant (Thiocyclam)—a broad-spectrum insecticide for rice
treatment and can attack two pests (stem borer and lepidopetra) in a single dose. The
addressable markets for Vibrant are Punjab, Haryana, Chattisgarh and AP, with a total
addressable market opportunity of INR6b.
Nominee Gold growth to continue despite new competition
PI launched Nominee Gold in FY10 (as a tie up with Japan-based innovator Kumiai),
which went on to become a blockbuster product—clocking highest revenues and
margins amongst its product portfolio. NOMINEE GOLD is a post-emergent, broad-
spectrum systemic herbicide for all types of rice cultivation—direct sown rice, rice
nursery and transplanted rice. The product has enjoyed exclusivity over the last five
years, with exclusivity till FY13 due to regulatory requirements and post that due to
a Gujarat High Court Ruling that delayed the process for 9 (4) registrations—thus
limiting the entry of new players and, thereby, competition.
However, with the likely easing of registration process for 9 (4), we believe
competition will increase going forward; this could erode the product’s price and
margin to some extent. However, given Nominee Gold’s low penetration, we believe
it will grow as the market expands. We believe the fears around price, margin
erosion and de-growth for the product are overdone.
Exhibit 9: Nominee Gold expected to remain highly successful in near future
Osheeen—the second blockbuster product after Nominee Gold
In FY13, PI launched Osheen—an insecticide—through an in-licensing deal with
Japan’s Mitsui Chemicals. Just like PI’s other products, Osheen has proved to be a
runaway success as the first two years of its launch saw sales reaching INR1b.

Osheen continues to be the second biggest product for PI after Nominee Gold; it has
still not seen any price erosion and will enjoy exclusivity till the end of 1HFY17.
Osheen controls the brown plant hoppers in rice, targeting pests that are not
controlled by other molecules, owing to the unique action of the ingredient
Dinotefuran. OSHEEN has effectively managed the Brown Plant Hoppers in rice for
number of years in the leading rice growing countries. The product has also been
tested and recommended by leading agriculture research institutes of Govt. of India
for rice and cotton. PI spent nearly six years on Osheen’s development. After rice, PI
extended the product to cotton and is looking to extend to vegetables as well.
Exhibit 10: Osheen achieved revenues of INR1b in the first two years of launch
Vibrant—another promising product addressing the ~ INR6b market
PI will launch Vibrant (Thiocyclam) in November, 2015 — a broad-spectrum
insecticide for treatment of rice and can attack two pests (stem borer and
lepidopetra) in a single dose. Farmers currently use two insecticides—one for stem
borer and another for leaf folder. As a result, Vibrant will help farmers in the form of
savings of chemistry, cost of application and efforts. PI estimates that farmers are
using products worth INR6b on protecting their crops from pests. This product is
exclusive (registration u/s 9(3) of CIB) and has an in-licensing arrangement with a
Japanese MNC. The addressable markets are Punjab, Haryana, Chattisgarh and AP
and market size is INR6b. Also, the product doesn’t cannibalize any of PI’s existing
products.
Higher contribution from new products to keep growth momentum intact
Rice contributes nearly 40% to revenues, followed by vegetables, tea and chilies.
However, PI is a complete agro-chemicals player as it provides protection across
crop categories. Insecticides contribute ~50% to revenues, followed by herbicides
(~30%) and fungicides (~20%). PI’s top six products include Nominee Gold, Keefun,
Biovita, Foratox, Osheen, Kitazin. With a market share-focused approach, along with
top products, the management bundles generic products to drive scale and viability
at the dealer level.
Differentiated distribution strategy—to augur well for growth
PI is now targeting to enter and penetrate newer geographies, which will further
strengthen its position—considering the company’s product effectiveness and brand
value. While PI is already strong in Chhattisgarh, UP and Bihar, it now plans to enter
markets that are largely untapped (e.g., Maharashtra, where it has approvals in

share, emphasis on being the market leader, entering new geographies and smaller
farmers will keep growth momentum intact going forward.

Capabilities in CSM exports make PI an ideal choice
Robust order book of USD600m gives revenue visibility
IPR protection is vital criteria for global innovators to choose partners in the CSM
business and all Indian players are subject to TRIPS agreement, which provides IPR
protection. Additionally, economic competencies relative to China have also gradually
improved over the last few years. These factors make Indian players an economically
viable choice.
PI has exhibited strong scale-up and execution capabilities in CSM, which involves
complex activities, and has accreditation for GLP along with best-in-class support
infrastructure; this has led to longstanding relationship with global innovators in the
agro-chemical space and acts as major entry barrier for new entrants.
PI participates in early stage of molecule life cycle, which enables it to participate in
the growth phase of products. The company’s robust order book of USD600m provides
revenue visibility over the next two years and will be complemented by upcoming
facilities in Jambusar. PI is also looking beyond agro-chemicals for new growth
opportunities.
We expect CSM exports to post revenue CAGR of 27% over FY15-17, with EBITDA
margins improving by 100bp to 22%.
In CSM, Indian players being preferred over Chinese
Respect for IPR:
Global Innovators partnering Indian suppliers stand protected
under a stringent patent protection as India is a signatory to Trade Related
Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement.
Competitive advantages over China:
China is the largest exporter of agro-
chemicals globally and is, thus, a primary competitor to India in this space. However,
over the years, China has been gradually losing its dominance in manufacturing on
the back of rising labor cost, stricter environmental and safety regulations, and weak
IPR policy. Further, India’s currency has been more competitive than the Chinese
Yuan against global currencies; thus making Indian companies economically
attractive. Agro-chemicals exports from India showed 15% CAGR over FY98-14.
The global fine chemical industry is estimated to be about USD300b with CSM
segment estimated to be ~USD85b; India’s share is currently ~5%, but it is growing
at a healthy pace of 12% due to its emergence as a preferred destination.
R&D capabilities, infrastructure and trust aspect make PI a preferred choice
In CSM exports, PI undertakes custom synthesis and contract manufacturing of
niche fine and specialty chemicals for process research and large-scale
manufacturing of newly discovered molecules by global innovators.
It is supported by high-end infrastructure, which includes R&D Lab, Kilo Lab, Pilot
Plant, and Flexible and Dedicated plants. PI has also created various reaction
capabilities and continuously adds to it to meet customer requirements.
PI Industries is also accredited for
‘Good Laboratory Practices’ (GLP).
Data
generated in the company’s laboratory is, hence, acceptable by registration
authorities (for agro-chemical, pharmaceuticals, etc.) in all the OECD regions such as
USA, Europe and Japan.

Longstanding relationships
with global agro-chemical innovators is a testament to PI’s trust and reliability,
which are major entry barriers for any new entrant.
PI has reached this level over a period of 20 years and it will take a long gestation
period for a new entrant to acquire knowledge, create strong R&D capabilities,
infrastructure and built trust.

Focus on early stage molecules provides opportunity to participate over the
life of a product
As a part of its core strategy, PI focuses on manufacturing molecules— of
high/medium value and low volume—that are patented, in early stages of their life
cycle and involve complex chemistries. The contribution of early stage molecule to
the CSM exports business is ~90%; thus the company is able to participate through
the life of a product, which provides opportunity to be the first and second suppliers
of such molecules under global patents.
It takes around 3-5 years for a molecule to get commercialized post inquiry by a
customer; thereafter, it gives revenue visibility for 5-10 years until new molecule is
discovered or resistance to a particular product is developed.

new molecules that were commercialized in the last 3-4 years and comprises 5-7
molecules. Currently, the total number of molecules commercialized is 18 and the
company expects to commercialize two more in the next two quarters. PI is
confident of commercializing 2-3 molecules every year and this will continue to
provide revenue visibility.

Order book to be complemented by the upcoming Jambusar facility
The company expects to commission two new plants at Jambusar during FY16. The
work at the plants is progressing as per schedule and the PI expects to commission
the first plant by October 2015 and the second by December 2015. The plants will
be fully automated, unlike the previous plants (which involved higher manual
intervention). Both plants are multipurpose and can produce various molecules with
a downtime of two weeks between switching.
The total capex incurred on the plants is expected to be around INR2,500m-3,000m
while the asset turnover on maturity is expected to be 2-2.5x the capex; this will
convert into additional revenue of INR5,000m-6,000m. Considering that order
visibility is already there, the estimated time to scale up these plants to full capacity
utilization is around 1-1.5 years. The revenue from Jambusar facility, where one
plant is already operational, was INR300mn in 1QFY16; the total capex incurred in
the plant was INR1,800m, including supporting infrastructure.
The new plants in Jambusar will have a 10-year tax break on all products
manufactured. We expect these plants to contribute majorly to the revenue going
ahead, leading to margin expansion and tax savings.

Leveraging its existing capabilities to diversify beyond agrochemicals
PI has created strong capabilities in R&D. The general nature of the intermediates
that it manufactures is such that they can be applied to other verticals of the
chemicals sector (like pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals used in the electronics
sector) with some modification; these verticals can be new growth opportunities for
PI and will in turn expand its customer base and geographical reach.

Valuation and view
Initiate with a Buy
PI boasts of a unique business model—a strong R&D-led custom synthesis business
(59% of revenues) build over the last two decades, and an equally compelling
domestic agro-chemicals business (41% of revenues), largely built by in-licensing
arrangements with major global agro-chemicals innovators.
With a mere 10% penetration, we believe there is untapped growth potential in PI’s
largest product—Nominee Gold, which (along with new products like Osheen, Vibrant)
will continue to drive growth momentum for the domestic agro-chemicals business.
With a strong order book amounting to USD600m, the CSM business has robust
revenue visibility—book-to-bill of 3.2x; we thus expect 23% revenue CAGR over FY15-
17. We believe the foray into new segments like pharmaceuticals and electronics
chemicals will be the next key growth drivers for the CSM business.
With best-in-class capital efficiency (40% RoCE, debt-free balance sheet, robust growth
outlook—23% revenue CAGR and 26% PAT CAGR), we believe PI is one of the best
plays on India’s agri sector and CSM opportunities. Initiate coverage with a Buy.

Key risks
Uncertain monsoon
Unfavorable monsoon is the biggest risk for the domestic agro-chemicals sector.
Delayed or deficient rainfall hurts sales return and, thus, negatively impacts growth.
Similarly, unseasonal rainfall can damage standing crops, resulting in income loss for
farmers.
Lower prices of agricultural produce
Decline in prices of agricultural commodities or lower MSP (minimum support price)
can reduce farm incomes and, consequently, demand for agri-inputs. Unlike
fertilizers, prices of agrochemicals are not subsidized and farmers may choose to
decrease their purchase of agro-chemicals to lower their production cost.
Delay in getting approvals for new products
Registration of pesticides is a time-consuming process in India. It can take 2-4 years
to launch a new molecule. Delay approvals could lead to loss of potential profit
opportunity.
Delay in capacity expansion or utilization
Delay in commissioning a plant or ramping it up within expected timelines post-
commissioning can adversely impact CSM exports revenue growth prospects.

Industry overview
Strong growth potential for Indian agro-chemicals sector
India’s crop protection industry is estimated at USD4.3b, of which domestic industry
forms 52% (USD2.3b) and exports 48% (USD2b). According to CRISIL, the industry is
expected to post 12% CAGR over FY14-19 to reach USD7.5b. Domestic/exports
expected to grow at 8% (to USD3.3b) and 16% (to USD4.2b). Given the minimal
pesticide penetration in India (0.75 kgs/Ha as against the global average of
10kgs/Ha), growth prospects for Indian industry are strong. Over 400 companies
operate in the domestic market and can be broadly categorized under three heads:
a) MNCs—30% market share, b) Indian organized—50% market share, and c)
unorganized—20% market share.

Key growth drivers
Growing food demand with limited land availability will lead to higher focus on
crop yields. Escalating labor costs are driving demand for herbicides (as against
manual weed cutting), thus ensuring higher agrochemicals usage. India’s
pesticide consumption (0.75 Kgs/Ha) is amongst the lowest globally.
Strong export opportunity: Low-cost manufacturing, availability of technically
skilled manpower, seasonal domestic demand, available capacity, better price
realization globally and strong presence in generic pesticide manufacturing.
Agro-chemicals worth USD6.3b are expected to be off patent by 2020; this
presents a large opportunity for Indian companies to participate in the global
generics business.
