Industry Dynamics
Edible oil is one of the highest imported commodities in Pakistan. During the year, 2.717 million tonnes of edible oil (including oil extracted from imported oilseed) of value Rs 794 billion was imported. Local edible oil production remains at 0.471 million tonnes. In line with population growth, edible oil demand is forecast to grow about 5% and palm oil imports grew accordingly, reaching 3.6mln tons in FY24. The price of Soybean oilseed stood at 479 USD/MT in Jun-24 as compared to 591 USD/MT in the comparative year, showcasing a decrease of ~18%. On the other hand, the price of palm oil stood at 873 USD/MT in Jun-24 and 816 USD/MT in Jun-23, which is forecasted to ease further. Comparatively reductions in selling prices have impacted the revenues substantially for the refineries. Due to the rise
in input costs, especially raw material cost, many companies have experienced a reduction in their profit
margins and faced working capital shortages. With expectations for better cottonseed production, Total
oilseed production in 2024/25 is projected to decrease marginally to 3.43 million tons, due to an
expected minor decline in cottonseed production, and no growth in rapeseed and sunflower seed output. The industry's future outlook is developing due to price volatility and PKR depreciation.
Relative Position
Jadeed Oil has a stable market share of ~2% in terms of revenue, and ~2.1% in terms of production. However, the Group is among the largest poultry
players of the Pakistan
Revenues
The Company mainly generates revenue by selling Soybean meal, Rape seed meal, Semi-Refined
Soybean Oil, and Soybean Hull. Around ~58.1% of the Company’s total revenue is generated by selling
Soybean Meal to a Group Company, ‘Jadeed Feeds’. The Company remained the same and reported at
~PKR 18.7bln during FY24 (FY23: ~PKR 18.8bln). The slight decline in revenue was primarily due to
lower sales volumes compared to the previous year. However, this reduction in volume was offset to
some extent by steady demand, which helped maintain the overall revenue level. Looking ahead, the
Company’s revenue is expected to grow due to rising edible oil prices, which are anticipated to
strengthen the revenue base. As global demand for edible oil increases, the company stands to benefit
from higher price points, positioning it for growth in the upcoming periods.
Margins
During FY24, the Company’s gross margin posted a decrease and stood at ~5.1% (FY23: ~6.6%).
This decrease was primarily due to higher input costs, which significantly rose compared to the previous
year. Additionally, the company’s decision to procure local oil and meals contributed to an increase
in procurement costs, further squeezing margins. On the operational level, the Company’s margins
witnessed a similar trend (FY24: ~ 4.4%, FY23: ~ 6.1%). Net margins followed a similar trend
and stood at ~0.3% during FY24 (FY23: ~0.4%) due to the trickle-down effect indicating a squeeze in
overall profitability. The company will need to either control costs more effectively or drive revenue
growth through volume or pricing adjustments to stabilize net margins in the future.
Sustainability
The Group has started a commercial venture for the construction of 35 storage facility. Land has been acquired and partial sale and partial rental business
model would be followed.
Financial Risk
Working capital
Gross working
capital days remained significantly low at 1 day from 2 days in FY24, driven by a sharp decrease in
inventory holding days. Raw material holding days dropped to 59 days from 124 days, while finished
goods days halved to 2 days from 10 days, reflecting enhanced inventory controls and precise demand
forecasting. Trade receivables days stood at 19 days (FY24: Nil), showcasing efficient credit controls
and timely collections. On the other hand, trade payables days clocked at 1 day (FY24: 2 days),
suggesting improved supplier credit terms that supported liquidity. Consequently, net working capital
days fell to 79 days from 133 days, substantially improving the Company’s liquidity position. Despite
these operational efficiencies, leverage ratios rose, with short-term trade leverage and total leverage
reaching 69.8% and 66.4%, respectively, up from 19% in FY23.
Coverages
The Company’s stability in coverage metrics during FY24, reflecting better financial risk
management. The EBITDA-to-Finance Cost ratio remains at 0.9x (FY23: 0.9x), indicating stronger
earnings relative to interest obligations. Free cash flows decreased and stood at ~PKR 681mln during
FY24 (FY23: ~PKR 928mln) due to a decrease in net income. However, finance cost decreased as a
result of reduced interest rates and stood at PKR 755mln (FY23: PKR 1,082mln)
Capitalization
The debt of the Company comprises ~97% short-term loan - running finance - availed for the purpose
of working capital and ~3% lease liability. The total debt of the Company stood at ~PKR 868mln as of
FY24 (FY23: ~PKR 3,620mln) against an equity base of ~PKR 3,309mln (FY23: ~PKR 3,251mln) due
to improved unappropriated profits. As a result, debt to debt plus equity ratio remains low leveraged
and stood at ~20.8% as of FY24 (FY23: ~52.7%).
