About the Entity

Jadeed Oil Extraction (Pvt.) Limited, was incorporated in Nov-17. Jadeed oil is primarily engaged in the process of seed crushing and solvent extraction by mechanical and chemical processes, along with refining edible oil. At present, Jadeed Oil has a crushing capacity of 180,000 MT per annum. The Company is owned by the family of late Mr. Jan Mohammad Javaid. Jadeed Oil is majorly owned by Jadeed Feeds (~48%) and Mr. Jan Mohammad Javaid two sons, Mr. Muhammad Sohaib Javaid and Mr. Muhammad Safwan Javaid (~20% each). The remaining stake resides among Mr. Jan Mohammad Javaid's daughters, Ms. Maimoona Javaid and Ms. Fariha Javaid (~4% each) and his wife, Mrs. Shazia Javaid (~3%). The BoD is dominated by the sponsoring family. Board’s Chairman and the Company's CEO.

Rating Rationale

The assigned ratings of Jadeed oil extraction (Pvt.) Ltd. (‘Jadeed’ Oil’ or ‘the Company’) reflects its strong affiliation with the Jadeed Group, with a substantial presence throughout the poultry supply chain. The Group engages in importing and breeding grandparent poultry stock, notably Ross-308. Jadeed Oil plays a pivotal role in supporting the Group's backward integration strategy, which further mitigates customer concentration risk and ensures raw materials' availability, providing a stable foundation for its financial profile. The Company's business line includes two main products: meal and semi-refined edible oil. Pakistan's edible oil industry heavily relies on imports since oilseeds and edible oil account for ~80% of the cost of production. During the year, 2.7mln tonnes of edible oil (including oil extracted from imported oilseed) of value PKR 794bln (US $ 2.8bln) was imported as compared to 2.2mln tonnes in FY23. Local edible oil production remains at 0.47mln tonnes (FY23: 0.50mln tonnes). During FY24, the Company strategically added a procurement of local rape seed, canola, and sunflower oil along with soybean oil and seed. This change was driven by the need to optimize its supply chain and adapt to market conditions. In FY24, the company's topline remained stable due to lower sales volume, driven by a reduced supply of soybean seeds, which led to a dip in actual production. However, higher prices helped sustain steady revenue. The topline remains dominated by soybean, rape, and sunflower meal (~72%) only to its Group Company- Jadeed Feeds. Gross margins remained thin, driven by rising raw material costs and competitive pressures. The Company faces credit risk stemming from its exposure to foreign exchange volatility, primarily due to its reliance on imported soybean seeds. The net income showed a reduction, resulting from increased costs, regulatory hurdles, and market uncertainties, affecting production efficiency and overall profitability. As a result, the Company faced challenges in maintaining its previous levels of profitability margins. However, the Company's financial risk remains strong supplemented by a healthy working capital cycle. On the other side, leverage indicators continue to improve on account of lower debt majorly comprising of short-term borrowings for funding working capital requirements. The ratings continue to reflect the extensive experience and strategic acumen of the promoters, which remain integral to the Company’s operations. Moreover, the group's integrated presence in the poultry sector provides comfort to the ratings.

Key Rating Drivers

Sustaining a positive outlook relies on upcoming quarters showcasing strong financial growth and maximizing synergies within the group. The management's ability to prudently manage the liquidity and debt profile of the Company while improving sales remain crucial. Any significant and/or prolonged deterioration in revenues and/or coverages will adversely impact the ratings.

Business Risk
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%).
