Analysis of listed pesticide enterprises

Nanjing Redsun

As one of the largest domestic pesticide enterprises, Nanjing Redsun enjoyed slight revenue growth in 2013,

up 0.92% YoY, reaching USD1,177.64 million. Compared with its revenue growth, the company's net profit

witnessed a larger increase hitting USD60.50 million, with a YoY growth of 24.65%. According to the statistics

from its annual reports over the past 5 years, Nanjing Redsun's revenue and net profit achieved great

development from 2011 to 2013, which was not brought by its business performance, but mainly by

reorganization, for instance, the completion of its asset reorganization with Nanjing No. 1 Pesticide Group Co.,

Ltd. in Sept. 2011.

Although Nanjing Redsun's pesticide business was still its second largest business by revenue, accounting for

42.20% of its total revenue, the gross profit margin of its pesticide business was only 26.62%, but still much

higher than that of its largest business——fertilizers (3.79%). Release of rigid demand, stricter environmental

policies, and rising price of intermediaries influenced by final award of the pyridine anti-dumping case in China

in 2013, altogether stimulated the prices of its major pesticides to continue to be at a high level. Meanwhile, its

pesticides were in short supply, which resulted in the increase of both gross profit and net profit of its pesticides.

In terms of its fertilizers, fast increase in cost, overcapacity, frequent control policies and intenser competition in

fertilizer industry brought relatively high pressure to Nanjing Redsun's fertilizer business and led to large

decrease of fertilizer price and gross margin.

Xinneng Energy Co., Ltd. These 3 companies became subsidiaries or sub-subsidiaries of Hebei Veyong from

2013.

Mainly due to its asset reorganization, the product structure of Hebei Veyong has been adjusted significantly

and later the revenue of its pesticide business only accounted for around 15% of its total revenue, ranking

fourth among its businesses. In 2013, Hebei Veyong's pesticide business achieved increasing growth in both

revenue and gross profit margin, up 10.1% and 3.14 percentage points YoY respectively. According to its

annual report, increasing pesticide sales volume, climbing pesticide price (mainly abamectin) and declining

cost of raw materials altogether boosted its pesticide business in 2013.

As for sales distribution, revenue from both overseas markets and the domestic market witnessed growth, up

13.17% and 24.73% respectively. Revenue from its domestic trade captured 89.07% of its total revenue.

Besides, Hebei Veyong revealed that its first-stage relocation project of pesticide and production lines of other

products, which started in 2012, had been completed and put into trial production. The project will help Hebei

Veyong expand its production scale, optimize its products structure, and lay the foundation for its future

development.

Noposion

Noposion, the largest pesticide formulation enterprise in China, announced that both its revenue and net profit

in 2013 achieved growth, reaching USD282.24 million and USD28.96 million, up 8.64% and 35.05% YoY.

Compared with the growth rate of revenue, that of the net profit in 2013 seems to have been more satisfying,

because the main cost of sales such as distribution expenses, administrative expenditure and financial costs of

the company, respectively decreased by 5.81%, 1.63% and 1122.41% over 2012.

With regard to its product structure by sales in 2013, the revenue of Noposion's insecticide witnessed a decline

in 2013, down by 4.46% YoY, but its insecticide's revenue was still ahead of fungicide's and herbicide's in the

same period. The gross profit margins of herbicides in 2013 dropped, down by 4.22 percentage points YoY.

Noposion attributed this decrease to the high costs of herbicide upstream products, namely herbicide technical

(TC), such as paraquat TC and glyphosate TC.

The domestic market has always been the source of revenue for Noposion. From 2012, Noposion started to

pay attention to overseas trade and achieved an export value of USD0.85 million in 2012, and slightly

increased to USD1.01 million in 2013.

In 2013, its investment on R&D stood at USD10.68 million, up 7.24% YoY, accounting for 3.78% of total

revenue.

Both the revenue and net profit of Shenghua Biok suffered a decline in 2013——respectively USD261.32

million and USD4.35 million, down 2.72% and 9.43% respectively. This decline was mainly because of the

following reasons: overcapacity and weak demand in zirconium industry; declining demand for veterinary drugs

due to the outbreak of bird flu; decrease in the prices and sales volumes of some of its products; rise of the

labor cost and environmental protection cost in 2013.

Specially, revenue of this company's pesticide business had reached USD117.34 million, up 26.37% YoY,

thanks for the recovery of global pesticide market. In 2013, the increasing demand for herbicides from dry land

cropping in South America brought in the rebound of pesticide industry: the price of the company's traditional

competitive product, namely dicamba, had increased to some extent; as the intermediate of glyphosate, PMIDA

enjoyed prosperity with price rising gradually, and the sales volume of it also doubled in 2013.

In 2013, Shenghua Biok invested USD4.24 million on R &D, accounting for 1.62% of the total revenue.

Lier Chemical

The total revenue and net profit of Lier Chemical were USD234.25 million and USD18.67 million in 2013, up

12.70% and down 3.57% respectively. The increase of total revenue is attributed to the rising of sales volume

while the decline of net profit was because of the capacity constraint, intense competition and the decrease of

government subsidy.

In 2013, Lier Chemical invested USD8.22 million on R&D research, up 12.25% YoY, accounting for 3.51% of

the total revenue. These funding were used in the following aspects: technology improvement for major

products (such as clopyralid and picloram); technology improvement on glufosinate and epoxiconazole

production to raise output and reduce production cost; development of new products.

Besides, in view of market recovery, the company restarted the production line construction of 10,000 t/a

glyphosate technical, and has been in operation since Q4 2013. The relocation project and technological

upgrade of phosgene and its relative products had stepped into installation and final stage.

Jiangsu Lanfeng

As a pesticide manufacturer mainly engaged in fungicides, Jiangsu Lanfeng experienced a revenue increase of

8.16% YoY, reaching USD223.14 million in 2013, thanks for production expansion and the increase of sales

volume. However, its net profit decreased obviously, down 64.67% YoY. In fact, Jiangsu Lanfeng's net profit

also witnessed a large decline in 2011 and 2012, although its revenue kept upward in the corresponding period.

The low operation rate of the company's large-tonnage products and disorderly competition were main reasons

for this.

In detail, its pesticide business in 2013 maintained an upward trend by revenue, reaching USD165.80 million,

up 4.28% YoY, while the gross profit margin suffered a slight drop, down 1.34 percentage points YoY. Thereinto,

the revenue of both insecticide and fungicide had increased by 9.63% and 2.53% YoY, while that of its herbicide

business had decreased by 4.69%.

Some fund-raising projects of Jiangsu Lanfeng in 2013 did not achieve the objectives:

- Acephate technical and formulation project: it aimed to sale 3,000 tonnes (by technical), while the real sales

volume was only 1,030.5 tonne. The company attributed this to intense competition.

- Diuron project: both the sales volume and the real gross profit margin were lower than that expected. And

intense competition, price decrease of diuron and price increase of raw materials were the main reasons for

this.

- Cypermethrin project: the sales volume was less than that expected because of intense competition.

- Sulfuric acid project: largely price decrease, price increase of raw material were the main reasons for the loss.

In 2013, Jiangsu Lanfeng invested USD6.93 million on R&D, down 8.39% YoY.

Anhui Huaxing

Anhui Huaxing, a listed herbicide and insecticide manufacturer in China, experienced great achievements in

revenue——USD643.09 million, up 319.49% YoY, thanks to the satisfying performance of its fertilizer business.

In 2013, the revenue from fertilizer business reached USD515.82 million, up 6015.75% compared with that in

2012.

However, the net profit of the company suffered a decrease——only USD7.08 million, down 60.91% YoY. The

reason for this decrease is not the bad operating performance in 2013, but the additional transaction fund from

stock right transfer in 2012 (According to the financial report in 2012, Anhui Huaxing signed a contract with a

domestic trading company transacting the whole stocks (51% of total shares) of one of its controlling

subsidiaries, namely Anhui Huaxing Construction Investment Co., Ltd. The transaction contributed about

USD17.12 million to Anhui Huaxing's profit in 2012.). Excluding the extraordinary gains or losses, the net profit

attributable to the parent company had a large rise in 2013, thanks for price rising of the company's leading

product-glyphosate.

Though the share of pesticide business (by revenue) in 2013 is only 19.52%, pesticide business will still be the

dominant business for Anhui Huaxing. Before 2013, the share of pesticide business (by revenue) was always

more than 90%.

Hefei Fengle

As for Hefei Fengle, its overall sales performance in 2013 was poorer than that in 2012. Its total revenue in

2013 valued at USD275.48 million, down by 8.10% YoY. What is worse, the company's net profit in 2013 was

only USD9.19 million, almost the lowest over the past 5 years. The company attributed this mainly to the rising

cost of seed business and the loss in auxiliary business (such as spice business, hotel service business, etc.).

In recent years, Hefei Fengle's agrochemical business (mainly refer to pesticides), which is operated by one of

its wholly-owned subsidiaries, namely Anhui Fengle Agrochemical Co., Ltd., has been one of its operating

revenue sources. In 2013, Hefei Fengle's agrochemical revenue accounted for 31.29% of total revenue, but it

has experienced a decline of 8.91% YoY. According to Hefei Fengle, the main reason for the decreasing

revenue in 2013 was attributed to the limitation of its pesticide production by the stricter environmental policies

in China. However, the gross profit margin of its agrochemical products was 12.81% in 2013, up 4.16

percentage points over that in 2012.

The company invested USD9.26 million on R&D in 2013, accounting for 3.34% of its total revenue, down 11.70%

YoY.

According to Qianjiang Biochemical, the noticeable growth of its revenue and profit in the period was mainly

attributed to the recovery of most of its production capacity at the end of 2012 after the launch of its new

production lines in its third factory. Previously, the second factory of Qianjiang Biochemical was shut down due

to severe pollution generated in the production process, which impacted the production and sales of the

company in 2012. Meanwhile, through this relocation of production capacity of its third factory, Qianjiang

Biochemical optimized its product structure, strengthening the production of pesticide and veterinary

formulations.

It is well-known that Qianjiang Biochemical is mainly engaged in the production and sales of pesticides,

veterinary drugs, supply of steam and electric power. As the largest business of the company, pesticide

products recorded an increase of 5.13% year on year to about USD45.03 million in revenue in 2013,

accounting for 57.43% of the company's total revenue. In addition, the gross profit margin of pesticide products

rose to 27.13% in 2013, up 8.68 percentage points year on year, which improved its overall performance to a

great extent. The performance of veterinary drug business was the largest highlight, with revenue increased by

99.82%. The sales of other businesses (including steam, chemical compound T, electric power, etc.), were all

more or less lower compared with 2012.

In 2013, Qianjiang Biochemical invested USD2.91 million on R&D, accounting for 3.71% of the total revenue,

down 5.89% YoY.

the rising revenue of ABA chemicals. It is worth mentioning that the revenue of pesticide intermediates

increased by 65.63%. However, its net profit suffered a decrease, mainly due to the increasing depreciation

cost, administrative expenses and distribution expenses in the period. In 2013, ABA chemicals' distribution

expenses climbed to USD1.44 million, increasing by 35.99% YoY. The administrative expenses increased to

USD8.55 million, up 24.93% YoY.

Zibo Wanchang

Zibo Wanchang, the largest trimethyl orthoformate and triethyl orthoformate producer in China, its revenue and

net profit reached USD51.59 million and USD14.32 million in 2013, up 11.18% and 2.05% YoY respectively,

thanks to the rising sales volume of its major products. In 2013, the sales volume of its triethyl orthoformate and

trimethyl orthoformate was 16,740 tonnes, up 11.50% YoY, but the price drop of them should be responsible for

the slighter increase of the company's net profit. Besides, Zibo Wanchang explained another reason for the low

growth rate of net profit——the company's decreasing interest revenue from deposit in bank.

The company's product variety seems to be rather simple compared with other listed enterprises, whose main

products merely include trimethyl orthoformate (intermediate mainly used in the production of azoxystrobin in

pesticide industry) and triethoxy methane (intermediate mainly used in the production of amitraz in pesticide

industry). These two products contributed USD41.62 million by revenue to Zibo Wanchang, capturing 80.67%

of its total revenue.

Zibo Wanchang stated that one of its raised project concerning expansion of capacity of trimethyl orthoformate

and triethoxy methane had been fundamentally completed (the capacity had reached 22,000t/a). Another

project underway concerned about the intermediate of azoxystrobin namely benzo-diol, its investment progress

reached 30% at the end of 2013.

In 2013, the company invested USD1.95 million, accounting for 3.79% of its total revenue, up 4.52% YoY.
