Prabhudas Lilladher Report

Bayer CropScience Ltd. reported better than expected results during Q4 FY22. It reported revenue growth of 31% YoY to Rs 9.6 billion (FY22, up 11% YoY to Rs 47.3 billion), was better than our estimates of Rs 7.3 billion.

Ebitda surged by 143%YoY to Rs 2.0 billion and was higher than our as well as consensus estimate. Key highlights are:

  1. clocked double digit revenue growth in crop protection business driven by better growth in herbicide category coupled with prudent channel management and demand generation;

  2. lower corn acreages in Kharif coupled with untimely rains in Rabi season offset by recovery in Spring season for maize hybrids (revenue of Rs 1.83 billion in Q4 FY22);

  3. gross margins up 590 bps YoY to 50.5% which we believe was primarily led by higher price realisations in crop protection segment and higher maize seed sales (higher margin business);

  4. Bayer CropScience's healthy improvement in gross margins coupled with superior operating leverage resulted into an Ebitda margin expansion of 960 bps YoY to 20.8%.
