Directors' Review For the Quarter Ended 31 March 2012 The Board of Directors is pleased to present a brief overview of the operational and financial performance of the Company for the quarter ended 31 Mar 2012. Severe gas curtailment was faced by the plant this quarter which resulted in 60 days shut down of the plant from10th January to 10th March. Furthermore, in the first 10 days of January only 38 MMSCFD gas was supplied from our quota of 85 MMSCFD. After start up, the supply of gas was restricted to 67 MMSCFD slightly more curtailment than 20% mandated by GOP. The curtailment badly affected the production in the first quarter. Production of DAP at 87 thousand tonnes was lesser by 28% than production of 121 thousand tonnes in the corresponding period. Urea production for the quarter remained at 26 thousand tonnes, lesser than 69% of the corresponding year production of 84 thousand tonnes. Turnaround 2012 completed safely & successfully along with replacement of thermal block for Synthesis Gas Turbine. The overall performance of plants remained satisfactory and no major operational problem faced. Urea remained in low demand during the quarter because of large Urea inventories and more imports during first quarter. Government of Pakistan (GOP) imposed Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC) on gas supplies to some fertilizer plants from January 01, 2012. Consequently the dealer transfer price of Urea was increased from January 01, 2012 by Rs 215 per bag on account of gas price increase and imposition of GIDC. GOP decision of importing additional Urea during the first quarter created an oversupplied Urea market in the country which resulted in downward slide of market prices thus drastically affected the profit margins. Moreover, setting of low transfer price by NFC compared to domestic manufacturer's prices further aggravated the situation. Domestic Urea market is estimated to decline by 16% during Jan Mar 2012 over the corresponding period of 2011. During Jan Feb gas supplies from national network remained suspended to the fertilizer sector due to winter load management. Urea production during the first quarter of 2012 is estimated to decline by 6% compared to production of Jan Mar 2011. The Urea inventory of 368 thousand tonnes at the beginning of the year was 122% higher than 166 thousand tonnes opening inventory of the year 2011. Industry Urea production during Jan Mar 2012 is 1,015 thousand tonnes in 2012 comparing to 1,080 thousand tonnes in 2011. Urea import during Ist quarter 2012 are around 464 thousand tonnes. Sales at 1,038 thousand tonnes remained 16% lower than sales of 2011 for the same period. Urea inventory at the quarter end is around 806 thousand tonnes comparing to inventory of 255 thousand tonnes at the end of corresponding quarter. DAP inventory at the beginning of the year was 92 thousand tonnes comparing to 19 thousand tonnes inventory at the start of 2011. During the quarter under review, DAP industry sales are 70 thousand tonnes which was lower by 57% against 163 thousand tonnes sales of the same period last year. This significant decline shows lower consumption of DAP by the farming community attributed to higher domestic fertilizer prices and low price of agriculture produce. During Feb Mar, 2012 fertilizer marketing companies decreased the DAP prices by Rs 200 300 per bag as a result of low sales and depressed market. DAP production during the quarter is about 87 thousand tonnes which is 28% lower than 121 thousand tonnes production of the corresponding quarter. DAP imports during the period remained at 77 thousand tonnes. DAP inventory at the end of Mar 2012 was 184 thousand 2
tonnes much higher as compared to 30 thousand tonnes closing inventory of the corresponding period. Sona Urea (Granular) sales during the quarter ended 31 Mar 2012 are 8 thousand tonnes with an achievement of 23% against the target. However, these sales are 89% lower as compared to the sales of 76 thousand tonnes for the same period of 2011. Prime reason of low sales was plant shut down for almost two and half months due to gas curtailment from GOP. Sona DAP sales during the quarter are 24 thousand tonnes, showing an achievement of 44% against the target, whereas these sales are 77% lower than 103 thousand tonnes of DAP sales in the corresponding period of the last year. FFBL share in Urea and DAP markets during the quarter remained 1% and 34%, respectively comparing to 6% and 79% respectively during the corresponding period. The difficulties of production and sales reflected in the financial performance of the quarter. The sales during the period were not enough to cover the fixed cost thus resulting in a gross loss of Rs 265 million. Finance cost increased in the quarter due to higher utilization of working capital lines to sustain the business. Other income increased mainly on account of share of profit from PMP by Rs 212 million. Lower production and sales combined with low opening inventory resulted in loss after tax of Rs 387 million translating into loss per share of Rs 0.41. FFBL has made investment in two wind projects last year with equity participation of 35% each in both projects. Following the signing of EPC contract with M/s Nordex and M/s Descon, later has mobilized their team at the site for geotechnical investigation and topographical survey. Furthermore, Contractor has started test piles work on the site. The overall PMP plant performance remained satisfactory for the year 2011. PMP surpassed its designed capacities of both Sulphuric acid and Phosphoric acid plants for the first time in its four years of plant operations. The financial results of PMP have turned positive towards later part of year 2011 mainly due to reduction in the gap of imbalance between input and output prices and favorable/strong parity of $ to MAD which helped PMP being an exporting Company. Gas curtailment will continue to be the biggest challenge facing the industry. However, sales are expected to pick up in the 2nd half of the 2nd quarter. The reduction in DAP prices at the international level as well as local level should result in better sales during the rest of the year. Insha Allah we expect profitability to improve significantly going forward. For and on behalf of the Board Rawalpindi 17 April 2012 Lt Gen Muhammad Mustafa Khan, HI(M), (Retd) Chairman 3
