Jain Irrigation –  Sitting on a huge opportunity

 

Jain Irrigation (CMP Rs 249.20) has had a none too impressive past. Its management is not considered in the top scale and before I write anything else about the company this is one factor that has to be taken with some seriousness. But managements do change and some of the management who have changed or appear to have been changing are the Thapars, Mallyas etc. It would be unfair to generalize past performance and put it as a blanket comparison. A CIO of a very large Private Bank also having mutual fund interests once told me “Most management are like a dog’s tail but not all”.

 

The company’s website states that Jain Irrigation is into a lot of interesting things primary among them are:

 

  • Drip irrigation
  • Sprinkler irrigation
  • Control and Safety Valves
  • Water Irrigation Systems
  • Pipe Fittings, Green Houses and Turnkey project systems
  • Plant tissue, Micro plant, Bio fertilizer, agro engineering consultancy
  • Processed food, Plastic Sheets and Solar water heaters

The opportunity that Jain irrigation at is huge. The total micro irrigation space is a Rs 60,000 crore opportunity. The grand budgetary policies of the congress Govt. and the entry of the big players into agriculture and farming will open up a scale of opportunity for Jain irrigation’s primary business. Over the next 2 to 3 years Reliance, Bharti and a few other major players would be spending thousands of crores into farming. More over the development of organized retail would also lead to better agriculture methods and newer and latest techniques of production would be employed.

The task force committee report states that over the 10th and 11th plans agriculture shall be the focus area and an amount of Rs 60,000 crores shall be spent on irrigation alone. This shall be 300 times the size of the present market. These schemes are taking off and pilot projects are being initiated by various State Govt.

 

Over the next 5 years India Inc will spend over Rs 900,000 crores on infrastructure development. Primarily Jain Irrigation will be benefited since it manufacture PE and PVC pipes

 

Recently the US arm of Jain Irrigation acquired a 100 per cent shareholding in Chapin Watermatics for $6 million. Chapin Watermatics is a diversified company with more than 3,000 employees and sales in excess of $200 million. This acquisition will help Jain irrigation to extend itself into the Irrigation markets worldwide which are witnessing huge growth due to growing problem of water scarcity.

The Managing Director of Jain Irrigation Mr. Anil Jain remarked that "The focused marketing efforts that Jain brings to the deal will complement the products of Chapin and the acquisition will catapult Jain Irrigation and Chapin Watermatics to the forefront in growing global markets for irrigation equipment”.

PVC Sheets have become substitutes for wood in the home building market of North America and Europe. This business has been steadily growing and the company recently acquired NU Cedar Mills Inc for US $ 3 million to further augments its activities in this space.

 

Food Processing: Jain Irrigation has a good business model in food processing and vegetable dehydration business. The company has been a regular supplier to the International giants like Nestle In this connection the company acquired Terra Agro with 1200 acres of land and a 1600 ton per anum vegetable dehydration plant. The company plans to triple capacity over the next 3 years.

 

Recommendation: If the management of Jain Irrigation can think from the shareholders perspective this stock is in for some real activity. All the businesses of the company are showing great traction with superior growth. At a market cap of Rs 1,444 crores you could not go wrong on this one. While like all growth stocks Jain Irrigation does look expensive on near term PE ratios these ratios should substantially improve over the next couple of years. Clearly the risk reward favors the investor.

Jajn Irrigation recorded a net profit of Rs 16 crore for the September quarter a y-o-y growth of 100% over Rs 8 crore in the corresponding period of the previous quarter.
 
The revenues grew to Rs 226 crore from Rs 156 crore in the corresponding period. The company stated that the food processing division grew the fastest and in the backdrop of good monsoons accelerated growth could be witnessed in the irrigation space. The Govt's horticulture programme should push the company's products further so would the flood of retailers getting into the back end of growing potatoes and tomatoes.
 
The management has guided towards a net profit figure of Rs 100 crore which should transalte into an EPS of Rs  17.50 per share. The company which should grow at 30% plus each year is available at a PE of less then 19 times FY 07 earnings.

I think Jain Irrigation is more then a 20%-30% play we could actually be looking at a 3-4 bagger in 4-5 years if the company gets its plans across.The past activities of the management are a concern though.

This is one of unsung heroes....
 

http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1124789 - Water conservation, irrigation, food processing and plastic pipes are sectors that are destined to grow at a fast clip. Jain Irrigation is present in all these sectors.

..... company is destined to become the largest drip-irrigation company in the world in a few years.

We are in drip irrigation, plastic piping, food processing and plastic sheets. All our businesses are growing on a consistent basis in the past 4-5 years. We are identified mainly by our drip-irrigation business.

It is quite prominent and we have been pioneers in India. We believe this is a huge opportunity. India has the largest acreage of land under cultivation. And very little has been brought under drip irrigation.

We have not even scratched the surface. The technology we have is very good for Indian conditions. Drip irrigation helps save water, energy, fertilisers and labour.

Our pipes are used by telecom companies for cable ducting applications. They are also used by gas companies for city gas distribution. GAIL has identified 200 odd cities for city gas distribution. We are already suppliers to Indraprastha Gas and Gujarat Gas etc.

About 30% of our business accrues from micro (drip) irrigation, 35% is from pipes and 15% from food processing (fruit and vegetables). The balance accrues from plastic sheets business.

So ultimately you may see micro-irrigation at 40%, food at 20% and sheet business will be pared down overall in percentage terms. Pipes would provide 30% of our revenues.

Jain Irrigation, the micro-irrigation major, is http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1125028 - working on a concept called “on demand water on tap”, which will allow farmers to draw water from metered taps.

For the world’s second-biggest drip irrigation company, the move to expand its business spectrum comes naturally. “As a core business, our company is focusing on water,” he said.

The “on demand water” as a project is still at a pilot stage. It is being tested out in the rural belts in the southern and western states of the country, Jain said.

A recent Credit Suisse report stated that by 2025, based on the most recent UN population data, that 18 countries will have water demand in excess of supply and 58 countries (representing a total of 64% of the global population) to suffer high or medium -high relative water stress.”

The concept envisages providing as much water as the farmer needs.

But the water is available through  pressurised pumps as and when the farmer needs it. Open the valves  and he’ll get the water and he’ll pay for it. So you need to find an area where farmers are ready to pay for the water used.

For Jain Irrigation the “on demand water on tap” is part of a larger  scheme that involves in preparing itself for a bigger role in water distribution. “We are looking at a lot of opportunities. We have a lot on the table,” Jain said.

The Jalgaon-based company is under contract with Veolia, a  leading French water management company, to supply plastic HDPE pipes to the end consumer on a 24/7 basis.

Jain has an important role to play in the Veolia led project happening in the state of Karnataka.

According to the Credit Suisse report, General Electric has publicly stated that it forecasts its water-related activities to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 35% (up to 2009) in developing countries. Dow Chemical similarly expects to triple water exposure over the next four years.

Jain said his company is betting on India to provide the maximum revenues.

Jain Irrigation sees FY08 net at 1.4-1.5 bln rupees

Oct 11 2007 5:29PM

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd sees 1.40-1.50 billion rupees in net profit in 2007/08 on increased drip irrigation and fruit pulp business offsetting a strong rupee, a senior official said on Thursday.

It posted a net profit of 991.1 million rupees in 2006/07 on income of 12.08 billion rupees. Last month the company said it expects a turnover of 22 billion rupees in 2007/08.

Jain Irrigation, which made four acquisitions since February 2006, is now eyeing opportunities in Africa, Managing Director Anil B. Jain told Reuters on Thursday.

"We have a business there and it would make sense to become local so that we have a long-term story," Jain said.

basantji,
writeup is of pristine high quality.
Going by that it appears that jain irrigation is supposed to be 2 bagger
in next few years.
Browsed through their website which is kind of not professional. It appears they have all the good products to ride the agricultural boom.
Shall keep on eye on that and will add slowly

Basantji jain is still holding solid. Now it seems jain would also move into
water management wherein we can have prospect of huge growth in India.
Jain is operating in sectors which are growing because of economy and also supported by government and will always be supported by govt.
We can expect solid and consistent growth from jain for next 5 years.
My question is is jain costly at this price.

    If the turnover just doubles  by 2012 as given in the BT article its only fairly valued but there was some brokerage report(not BSMA-linked,in which case meaningless)somewhere which was more optimistic about growth rates.
One negative is high debt levels ,I think.

excerpts...

The greater emphasis on agriculture by Central and State governments and under penetration of agriculture technologies such as micro irrigation systems, suggest that Jain Irrigation Systems, a leader in micro irrigation systems with over 50 per cent market share, stands to gain enormously.

Jain Irrigation generates about 30 per cent of its revenue from micro irrigation systems. In some crops, the saving of the water is as high as 50 per cent, compared to traditional irrigation methods.  The increasing prominence of these modern techniques of irrigation is also a result of subsidy (about 50 per cent) provided by the central and state governments and the cost benefit that accrues to the farmer.  Jain irrigation offers a range of products such as drip irrigation systems, sprinkler irrigation systems, valves, water filters, fertigation equipment, plant tissue culture products, nursery plants and systems.
 

Besides irrigation systems, Jain Irrigation is also into the plastic pipes and sheets. This segment accounted for about 33 per cent of total revenue of Rs 425 crore in FY07.  These pipes find applications in transport of water and irrigation.  Within pipes segment, the company also manufactures pipes used by telecom (as a casing for wires) and gas companies. Again, this business too is expected to grow at over 50 per cent annually for the next few years.  

Jain Irrigation is the largest food processor in India, which accounted for 14 per cent of its total income in FY07.  The company has been adding capacities and has built a wide product portfolio through the organic and inorganic routes.  The acquisitions include Parle’s fruit processing plants, Cascade Onion Dehydration, Terra Agro and Orient Vegexpo. The food processing business processes different juices and dehydrated vegetables for supply to institutional clients such as Coco Cola India, Nestle, HUL and global clients like Sun Juice (UK) and Langers Juice (US).  In dehydrated vegetables, Jain Irrigation is focused on onion dehydration. The company acquired controlling stake in Cascade Specialties, which provided access to the US market (the largest globally).  Globally, the onion dehydration capacity stands at around 175,000 tonne, where Jain Irrigation ranks third with a total capacity of about 25,000 tonne. Food processing is a fast growing business and is expected to grow by 60 per cent in FY08 and may account for over 15 per cent of total revenue.

It could just be a case of follow the leader. In the Outlook Profit piece (issue dated 21 March 2008), Jain Irrig. was just one of ten stocks covered. Anyway, I'm keeping it as part of a diversified portfolio.

 Investing Rs.550 crores in 2 mega projects in Jalgaon in agriculture and related sectors.
  I think Jain is emerging as a sector leader and that too not just in India.

Its nice to see a report on a company in  the in-house publication of a global engineering giant. never knew jain irrigation is into such stuff like food-processing etc.
 
The promoters certainly have a vision. The problem which I can see is why not make and market these products. All the processed food will land in the warehouses of multinational companies and they will make a bigger killing. Jain may end up just being a middle player. I think this company should extract a decent chunk from the prfits which these MNCs are making.

Good link.


Jain’s vision is to make it "a billion-dollar company within three years." Sales in 2006–2007 from Indian operations alone were around INR 12 billion (USD 300 million). "This year [2007–2008] the company is targeting INR 18 billion [USD 450 million]," Jain says. "This will be achieved largely through organic growth, but a part of it will come through acquisitions."


More than two years ago Jain had bought Mango Processing business from none other than Parle Bisleri! As mentioned in the article, Alphonso variety of Mango is a kind of moat.

After Glaxo, ONGC, Gillanders and castrol....this company falls on my radar.
 
Jain has a wonderful scalability which most of my names dont have. can anyone guide me about:
 
1.Jain's net debt
2.Jain's absolute debt
3.Dividend growth
4.Corporate rewards culture like bonus, rights and special dividend.

 I think past financials will not inspire confidence.And debt too is fairly high.But the company can become huge in 4-5 years given the emphasis that will be given to agriculture and that too  not just in India.
Some times debt can lead to gains as in case of Aban but of course Jain being already large can only  be a reasonable multibagger unless it stumbles somewhere.

     Currently MIS is having 25% OPM and I have not heard anything about subsidies being reduced.I do not know precisely but allocation for agriculture must necessarily go up.I have not considered a reversal in policy.Govts. as you hint can be foolish but it would be suicidal-MIS is the way forward as most politicians are aware and they will have to be rational in this and will be to secure votes.

It meets two of your criterion atleast
A) growing at 50% and quoting at 10 PE
B) Sector leader (ok, its a niche business :))

I have lost complete track of it can you indicate the RoE and market cap. Promoters are were not shareholder freindly but from what analysts say things have changed.
 
In these times it is better to knock off some reward from the stocks that you intend to buy if they come with lower risk.

    Agri-Irrigation major Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd (JISL) has announced very encouraging Q3 FY09 standalone numbers. This growth has been achieved by the Company in the most challenging environment and has been achieved with rebalancing of its product portfolio and enhanced focus on rural India.
     

    The Q3 FY 09 revenues have grown 29.4% at Rs.531.9 crores as against Rs.410.90 crores last year. The domestic revenues which constitute around 77% of total revenues have grown by above 33% at Rs.411.4 crores as against Rs.308.3 crores last year. The growth is achieved on back of about 50% increase in piping revenues and 38% growth in MIS/SIS (Micro Irrigation Systems) revenues in the quarter.
     

    The export business which constitutes 23% of the total revenues, have grown at 17.4% mainly on back of multifold growth in MIS/SIS, and agro processed divisions. On a corporate basis the top performing divisions are MIS/SIS (40%) and Agro processed (62%).
     

    The Corporate EBIDTA has grown by 39% to Rs.116.5 crores for quarter as against Rs.83.8 crores last year. The EBIDTA margin at 21.9% reflects a jump of 150 bps over the last year’s level. The EBIDTA margins have increased due to significant margin expansion in agro processed products and steady expansion in MIS/SIS due to better product mix. After absorbing the higher notional loss of Rs.8.66 crores on Long Term Foreign Currency loans, the net profit is 24% higher at Rs. 55.6 crores as against last years Rs.44.85 crores.

    Have been tracking this for a while,hoping to make an entry at sub-250 price band.But I guess it has hardly moved out of the 300-350 band of late.Guess their are some strong hands backing it up or perhaps not many care about it at present, which is a positive in itself.

    Can't argue with the scale of opportunity though.As organized retail grows its roots in India,MIS will perhaps become more of a necessity than the luxury that many think it is now.

    Read a report by prabhudas on the valuations of jain.Acc to them the stock seems to be justified at around 320-340. This is quite evidnet as the stock hasnt moved much in the current bounce back. Infact it has slided down from 360-65 levels to 330 levels...I think it makes sense to buy this once it is below sub 300 levels..
    Also would seek senior members advice on the growth opportunities for the company...Keeping in view the sector it operates backed by govt subsidy, a srtong hold in its business, around 55% market share and a strong reputation in market(interacted with couple of my friends who are in agri equipment business and got positive feedback abt the products and company) can this company grow at a CAGR of 26-31% CAGR  for next 5 years?????

    jain has been consolidating around 330-350 levels. Doesa that indicate that it is poised to make some significant move in either directions??? Volumes are pretty OK. Though i am not a huge fan of chartism, still do look at the price levels before buying....Bcause my belief that buying at a right price is equally important gets stronger day by day..so lukin at charts revela that if it goes up then can reach upto 400 and in downside arnd 290-300 would be a good buy

    Commenting on the company's future outlook, Anil Jain, MD, Jain Irrigation, said: Our margins even in the current annual year and for this quarter has improved quite a lot at earnings on the EBITDA level and the forex losses were notional because they are related to long term foreign currency. Going forward in the current year we are looking for a very strong growth. Micro irrigation will continue to grow somewhere between 40-50% or in that region; piping would grow beyond 20%, food should grow some where between 25-30%. So overall we are seeing very strong traction. We are seeing a very strong traction overall in terms of growth. As far as margins are concerned, micro irrigation is usually highest margin and we have maintained a band of 25-30% of margins but this quarter our margins were 32.5% in micro irrigation on the higher side.

    The company had gone through a rough patch in the 1990s because of a large number of diversification projects which failed to take off.  Check out Business Today 6 Apr 2008 issue. Now the company wants to launch an NBFC. Keep a close watch on this, their other expansion projects, the debt position and equity dilution via QIP as well.

    Jain Irrigation Systems::Takeaways Motilal Oswal Annual Global Investor Conferences

    Key Takeaways
    MIS the key growth driver; backend advantage gives competitive edge
     The micro irrigation systems (MIS; 50% of revenue) division continues to post robust
    growth, achieving 31.5% revenue growth in 1QFY12. The management expects
    similar growth through the year, led by strong demand in its seven key states.
     Though new players are looking to enter the MIS space (M&M, Godrej Agrovet),
    Jain Irrigation (JI) has a major competitive advantage in terms of complete backward
    integration and strong distribution. JI has 55% market share and currently makes
    double the margins of the nearest competitor in MIS.
    Domestic margins to improve, owing to higher share of MIS and food processing
     Domestic margins expanded 140bp to 23.5% in 1QFY12 due to higher share of MIS
    and food processing in the total mix which enjoy higher margins.
     Margins are likely to be under pressure in piping and PVC (30% of sales) due to
    higher input costs. However, the management expects these businesses to grow at
    half the rate as compared to MIS and food processing. Hence, overall domestic
    margins in FY12 are likely to be higher than in FY11.
    MIS receivables improving; NBFC to reduce balance sheet burden in FY13
     In 1QFY12, gross MIS receivables improved 20 days QoQ to 349 days. The
    management expects another 40-50 days of improvement by the end of 3QFY12,
    led by subsidy payment dispatch from the Maharashtra government.
     JI expects to get the NBFC license in 3-4 months, which will reduce JI's debt and
    receivables burden. The total equity funding required will be INR2b, of which INR1b
    will come from JI, which will initially own 49% stake. JI believes that all MIS players
    will take the NBFC route; EPC Industrie (M&M's subsidiary) has an NBFC and Netafim
    (second largest player in India) has also applied for an NBFC license.
    International: Strong growth in new geographies; double-digit margin target
     JI introduced its MIS products in Turkey last year and generated revenue of USD10m;
    the company plans to increase revenue to USD25m in this market in FY12.
     JI's international subsidiaries posted an EBITDA margin of 5-6% in FY11. With
    increasing sales of MIS in new geographies and access to the UK market through its
    Sleaford acquisition, JI is targeting double-digit margins over the next few years.

    Conceptually Jain Irrigation appears to be a great stock with lot of growth opportunities. Water and food shortage is real and is only going to worsen in next 5-10 years. But there are some factors which make me quite nervous to initiate position in this company.

    1.     I think promoters tend to take too much debt regularly and tend to diversify TOO MUCH.

    2.     Working capital requirements are quite high in this business and this reflects in the poor ROCE of 15% during 2005-11. This does not reflect the brand or their market position at all. During 2005-11, average debt equity was around 1.8x and currently stand at 2x. But in MD&A I have not seen any concern on the part of the management to reduce debt. They are still talking about inorganic growth [though historically they have not made any big bang acquisition]

    3.     There has been consistent equity dilution and promoter holding remains quite low for my comfort [27.5% for Dec-12].

    4.     Lastly though they are talking about change in business model [shifting subsidy burden directly on farmer rather than company taking responsibility to collect it from government], it seems that by floating NBFC and restricting company equity contribution to less than 50% [read somewhere that company contribution is 49%] it appears to me that this is simply an attempt to move debt off balance sheet. Now NBFC will give loan to farmers for buying irrigation equipment and loans will not be consolidated in company as equity is less than 50%. We all are aware that NPAs are maximum in farm loans and forceful recovery from farmer community in next to impossible eg SKS microfinance.

    So unless debt is materially reduced and company stops unnecessary diversification, I do not think I will be interested in this stock, TOO MUCH OF RISK.
