FOREWORD

 

 

United we stayed right from the word “go”. Devotion and coordination is what made this task happen. Though it was tiresome sometimes but it was our eagerness to prove

something which kept us going on and on. And finally we have been able to reach at a point where we can say with all our enthusiasm that “yes, we did it!”

For a blessed soil like ours, the worth of a fertilizer company became a motive behind our selection of Engro Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. and Fauji Fertilizer Company for comparison

purposes. Our research revealed to us that Engro Chemicals Ltd. holds a stronger position as compared to its counterpart. And ratio analysis also supports the fact discussed earlier.

Tables and graphs are also included to make this comparison more clear and to enhance the understanding of the numerical figures attained from ratio analysis.

We have put our heart and soul to hold a fair comparison but there is always a room for improvement. So we are quite right to adopt an optimistic approach to believe that Mrs.

Labiba Sheikh will ignore our mere mistakes, if found, because “to err is human”.

THE ORGANIZATION CONCERNED

Engro Chemical Pakistan Ltd.

 

Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited is a fertilizer company which is of their concern that has been introduced right below. They are going to make a full-fledge financial analysis of this fertilizer company in order to check its financial situation in the market. The analysis of each and every major ratio has been involved in this financial analysis. Then furthermore the interpretation of each and every ratio has been given to elaborate it.

An Overview

Page 6: FFC Vs Engro

Search for oil by Pak Stanvac, an Esso/Mobil joint venture in 1957, led to the discovery Of Mari gas field situated near Daharki -- a small town in upper Sindh province. Esso was the first to study this development in detail and propose the establishment of a urea plant in that area.

The proposal was approved by the government in 1964, which led to a fertilizer plant agreement signed in December that year. Subsequently in 1965, the Esso Pakistan Fertilizer Company Limited was incorporated, with 75% of the shares owned by Esso and 25% by the general public. The construction of a urea plant commenced at Daharki the following year with the annual capacity of 173,000 tons and production commenced in 1968. At US $ 43 million, it was the single largest foreign investment by an MNC in the country.

A full-fledged marketing organization was established which undertook agronomic programs to educate the farmers of Pakistan. As the nation’s first fertilizer brand, Engro (then Esso) helped modernize traditional farming practices to boost farm yields, directly impacting the quality of life not only for farmers and their families, but for the community at large. As a result of these efforts, consumption of fertilizers increased in Pakistan, paving the way for the Company’s branded urea called "Engro", an acronym for "Energy for Growth".

As part of an international name change program, Esso became Exxon in 1978 and the company was renamed Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited. The company continued to prosper as it relentlessly pursued productivity gains and strived to attain professional excellence.

In 1991, Exxon decided to divest its fertilizer business on a global basis. The employees of Exxon Chemical Pakistan Limited, in partnership with leading international and local financial institutions bought out Exxon’s 75 percent equity. This was at the time and perhaps still is the most successful employee buy-out in the corporate history of Pakistan. Renamed as Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited, the Company has gone from strength to strength, reflected in its consistent financial performance, growth of the core fertilizer business and diversification into other fields.

Investment in people, process solutions and resource conservation initiatives has reduced energy use per ton of urea by a third, whilst increasing urea production nearly six-fold since 1968. Not only does this save money, it stretches non-renewable energy sources and mitigates the impact of waste. Along the way, a major milestone in plant capacity upgrade coincided with the employee led buy-out; innovatively optimizing our resources, Engro re-located fertilizer manufacturing plants from the UK and US to its Daharki plant site – an international first. Our pioneering spirit continues in our social investments, exemplified by the only snake-bite treatment facility in the Ghotki region and the first telemedicine intervention in the country.

Vision

 

"To be the premier Pakistani enterprise with a global reach, passionately pursuing value creation for all stakeholders."

 

Our Diverse Colors of Excellence

 

Our Businesses

The years since Exxon became Engro have been both exciting and rewarding for the Organization and its people. Challenges have been overcome, goals achieved and new goals set. Engro today stands recognized as a successful business operation and a role model for doing business in Pakistan.

 

Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited

 

The Company’s current manufacturing base includes urea name plate capacity of 975,000 tons per annum and blended fertilizer (NPK) capacity of 160,000 tons per year. A premier brand and nationwide presence ensure sellout production. Additionally, the company imports and sells phosphatic fertilizers for balanced fertility and improved farm yields. Engro’s share of Pakistan’s phosphates market mirrors or exceeds its urea market share.

Expansion plans include a new urea plant of 1.3 million tons annual capacity, also at Daharki. The US$ 1 billion project is well underway and on track for commercial

Page 8: FFC Vs Engro

production in mid 2010. This addition will increase Engro’s urea market share to 35% from 19% at present.

 

Engro Vopak Terminal Limited

50:50 Joint Ventures with Royal Vopak - a Netherlands based global leader in terminal operations. EVTL operates a bulk liquid chemical terminal at Port Qasim, Karachi. It has an impeccable safety record of handling a range of chemicals and LPG for over 10 years.

EVTL is building Pakistan’s first cryogenic Ethylene storage facility and expects to be ready by early 2009. Given its experience with gasses, cryogenics, a brown field location and international operating standards, EVTL is well-positioned to build a LNG terminal, being pursued by the Government of Pakistan.

 

Engro Polymer and Chemicals Ltd.

EPCL is undergoing expansion involving PVC production increase of 50,000 tones (current capacity: 100,000 tons p.a. and back integration through setting up of an EDC/VCM plant and a Chlor alkali plant. These initiatives are expected to conclude in phases by first half of 2009. At Port Qasim, this 56% Engro owned Company is involved in manufacturing, marketing and selling Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC).

Page 9: FFC Vs Engro

American and has been awarded as the System Integrator of the Year 2007 by Control Engineering.

Synchronizing to a single brand worldwide with all the engineering Standards, processes, brand identity and global brand recognition was a huge task and due to various different cultural factors it was even complex then perceived.

After days of hard work AVANCEON emerged as the new name and the true Global Automation Player. The new company name will help to reinforce the single brand identity that has emerged over the last 16 days as the two formerly separate companies have successfully worked to become a single global enterprise.

Page 16: FFC Vs Engro

the divisional management. All material issues are reported to the Board Audit Committee which approves the audit program, based on an annual risk

assessment of the operating areas. To underpin the effectiveness of controls, it is Engro’s policy to attract, retain and develop staff of high caliber and
