Analyst Insight & Comprehensive Analysis
Business Overview and Revenue Trends
National Fertilizer Ltd, a prominent player in the fertiliser industry, reported a sales figure of ₹29,587 Cr for the fiscal year ending March 2023, marking a significant increase from ₹15,857 Cr in the previous year. However, in the following fiscal year, sales declined to ₹23,556 Cr, and are set to further decrease to ₹19,794 Cr in March 2025. The company’s quarterly sales also displayed volatility, with the highest quarterly sales reported at ₹10,137 Cr in December 2022, while the lowest was ₹3,534 Cr in June 2025. These fluctuations in sales can be attributed to varying demand in the agricultural sector, influenced by factors such as monsoon patterns and government policies on fertiliser subsidies. The company’s operational efficiency, as represented by its Operating Profit Margin (OPM), has fluctuated between 9% in December 2022 to a negative margin in multiple quarters, reflecting challenges in managing costs effectively amidst market dynamics.
Profitability and Efficiency Metrics
National Fertilizer Ltd reported a net profit of ₹184 Cr for the fiscal year ending March 2025, down from ₹458 Cr in the previous year. The company’s profitability has been inconsistent, with quarterly net profits reflecting losses in several periods. For instance, the company recorded a net loss of ₹236 Cr in March 2023 and ₹121 Cr in June 2023. The Return on Equity (ROE) stood at 6.49%, while the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) was at 7.57%, indicating moderate returns relative to equity and capital employed. The Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) of 2.68x suggests that the company is capable of covering its interest obligations but remains vulnerable to fluctuations in earnings. The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) of 42 days indicates a relatively efficient operational cycle, although it has increased from previous years, suggesting potential areas for improvement in inventory and receivables management.
Balance Sheet Strength and Financial Ratios
The balance sheet of National Fertilizer Ltd reflects a market capitalization of ₹4,604 Cr, with total borrowings amounting to ₹2,001 Cr, presenting a Debt to Equity ratio of 1.60x. This level of debt is concerning compared to industry norms, as it indicates a higher reliance on borrowed funds to finance operations. The company’s reserves have increased to ₹2,225 Cr, providing a buffer against financial instability. Additionally, the company’s liquidity ratios—Current Ratio at 0.98x and Quick Ratio at 0.72x—suggest potential liquidity challenges, as they fall below the ideal threshold of 1.00x. The Price to Book Value (P/BV) ratio stands at 1.68x, indicating that investors are willing to pay a premium for the company’s equity, reflecting some level of confidence in its long-term prospects. However, the efficiency ratios, such as the Asset Turnover Ratio of 1.98%, could benefit from enhancement to optimize asset utilization.
Shareholding Pattern and Investor Confidence
National Fertilizer Ltd has a stable shareholding structure, with promoters holding 74.71%, which indicates strong insider confidence in the company’s management and future prospects. However, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) hold only 0.49%, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) account for 6.21%, suggesting limited institutional interest in the stock. The public shareholding has gradually increased to 18.58%, reflecting growing retail investor participation. Over the past quarters, the number of shareholders has risen significantly from 1,18,706 in September 2022 to 3,10,847 as of June 2025, indicating enhanced interest from retail investors. The dividend payout ratio for March 2024 was 91.21%, reflecting the company’s commitment to returning value to shareholders, although the lack of dividends in prior years may have raised concerns regarding sustainability.
Outlook, Risks, and Final Insight
If margins sustain and operational efficiency improves, National Fertilizer Ltd may regain its footing in the competitive fertiliser market. However, risks such as high debt levels and fluctuating commodity prices could hinder growth. The company’s ability to manage its working capital effectively will be crucial in maintaining liquidity and supporting sales growth. Additionally, external factors such as government policies on fertiliser subsidies and agricultural trends will play a significant role in shaping the company’s performance. Continuous monitoring of operational metrics and strategic adjustments in response to market conditions will be essential for the company to navigate the challenges ahead successfully. Overall, while the company has demonstrated potential for recovery, sustained profitability will depend on effective management of its resources and market dynamics.
