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”.

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

The organization with whom the comparison of Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited is to be done is FFC
Limited. The comparison can only be done by making the financial analysis of this particular Fertilizer
Companies in a similar way in which the analysis of Engro Chemical Pakistan Limited is to be done by
first of all calculating all the major five ratios and interpreting them one by one thereby gaining a position
to make a comparison become their financial situation.
An Overview
With a vision to acquire self - sufficiency in fertilizer production in the country, FFC was incorporated in 1978 as a
private limited company. This was a joint venture between Fauji Foundation (a leading charitable trust in Pakistan)
and Haldor Topsoe A/S of Denmark.
The initial authorized capital of the company was 813.9 Million Rupees. The present share capital of the company
stands at Rs. 3.0 Billion. Additionally, FFC has Rs. 1.0 Billion stakes in the subsidiary Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim

FFC commenced commercial production of urea in 1982 with annual capacity of 570,000 metric tons.
Through De-Bottle Necking (DBN) program, the production capacity of the existing plant increased to
695,000 metric tons per year.
Production capacity was enhanced by establishing a second plant in 1993 with annual capacity of
635,000 metric tons of urea.
FFC participated as a major shareholder in a new DAPS/Urea manufacturing complex with participation
of major international/national institutions. The new company Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited (formerly
FFC-Jordan Fertilizer Company Limited) commenced commercial production with effect from January 01,
2000. The facility is designed to produce 551,000 metric tons of urea and 445,500 metric tons of DAP.
This excellent performance was due to hard work and dedication of all employees and the progressive

RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratios simply mean a number expressed in terms of another. A ratio is a statistical yardstick by mean of
which relationship between two or various figures can be compared or measured. Thus Ratio Analysis
shows the relationship between accounting data. Ratio can be found out by dividing on number by
another number. Ratio analysis is an important and age old technique of financial analysis. Following are
some of the advantages of ratio analysis.
Advantages:
• Ratios tell the whole story of changes in the financial condition of the business.
• Ratios highlight the factors associated with successful and unsuccessful company.
They also reveal strong companies and weak company’s, over-valued under-valued
companies.
• It helps in planning and forecasting. Ratios can assist management, in its function of
forecasting, planning, co-ordination, control and communications.
• It helps in investment decisions in the case of investors and lending decisions in the
case of investors and lending decisions in the case of bankers’ etc.
Let us now have a detailed analysis of all the following four ratios for Engro chemicals Pakistan Ltd:
• Liquidity Ratios
• Leverage Ratios
• Activity Ratios
• Profitability Ratios
Liquidity Ratios:
Current Ratio:
Current Liabilities
2006 – 2007:
5264674000
2005 - 2006:
Current Ratio = 5684446000
3642415000
2004 - 2005:
2800094000
Current ratio is a general and quick measured of liquidity of company. It represents the margin of safety
or cushion available to the auditor. It is the index of the company’s financial stability. It is also an index of
the financial solvency and index of strength of working capital.
The current ratio of the company is increasing over the years right from 2004-07 constantly, that is, it was
1.79 in 2004-05 and it is 3.11 in 2006-07.
Acid Test (Quick) ratio is equal to Current assets fewer inventories divided by current liabilities. It gives
more liquid amount of assets to cover your liabilities.
Current liabilities
2006 – 2007:
5264674000
Quick Ratio = 0.26
2005 - 2006:
3642415000
2004 - 2005:
2800094000
The quick test ratio is a very useful measuring of the liquidity position of the company. It means that
company’s ability to pay its short-term obligations or current liabilities immediately and is a more rigorous
test of liquidity than the current ratio.
The quick ratio of the company as is shown by the above calculations is not consistent, and decreasing
with large percentage that is, the company is getting lesser and lesser liquid current assets to cover its
current liabilities.
Leverage ratios:
Debt equity ratio is equal to long term debts divided by stockholder’s equity.
Stockholder’s equity
2006 – 2007:
1934692000
2005 - 2006:
233,187,729
2004 - 2005:
190,255,511000
This ratio indicates the proprietor’s claims of owners and outsiders against the company’s assets. The
purpose is to get an idea of the cushion available to outsiders and the liquidity of the company. The
interpretation of the ratio depends upon the financial and business policy of the company.
The debt ratio of the company has decreased gradually over the years right from 2004-07 which is
actually a positive sign for the company.
Debt Equity ratio increment is a negative point to management that the more of their business is financed
by debts this will increase their financial charges or interest expense and company’s liquidity and hence
decreasing the company’s profit. The lower the ratio the higher the company’s financing that is provided
by the shareholders and larger the creditors cushion (margin of protection) in the extent of shrinkage of
assets values or outright loss.
Debt Ratio:
Total Assets
2006 – 2007:
38156651000
2005 - 2006
15980816000
2004 - 2005
14111630000
It briefs that how many times the company has earned the interest. Or how many times the company has
user it's earning before interest and taxes to cover the interest expense.
Interest Expense
2006 – 2007:
535023000
2005 - 2006:
362551000
2004 - 2005:
280070000
The no. of times the company earns interest has fluctuated dramatically, that is, it was 12.5 in 2005,
decreased down to 7.18 in 2006 and to rise up to 8.92 in 2007.
Activity Ratios
Inventory Turnover Ratio is equal to Cost of Goods Sold divided by Average Inventory.
2006-2007
2005 – 2006
1421757872
2004 - 2005:
1291245405
Inventory turn over ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales. In other words how
rapidly inventory is turning into receivables through sales.
In 2006 it was 9.4 times and in 2007 it was 10.1 times. In 2006 the ratio was low because of over
investment in inventories. In year 2007 it is better that is 10.1 times in the year, which is quite good
because of good management.
Inventory holding period in days is equal to number of days in a year divided by inventory turnover ratio.
2006 – 2007:
10.1
2005 - 2006:
9.4
2004 - 2005:
11.1
Inventory turnover in days = 32 days
Inventory turn over ratio measures the velocity of conversion of stock into sales. In other words how
rapidly inventory is turning into receivables through sales.
In 2006 it was 38 days times and in 2007 it was 36 days. In year 2006 it was quite good and in 2007 it is
better that is 36 days in a year to move inventory through sales, which is quite good because of good
management and polices.
Net Fixed assts turnover ratio is obtained by dividing sales with net fixed assets, where,
2006 – 2007:
21759453000
2005 - 2006:
600,565,280
Fixed asset turnover ratio = 1.5148 times
2004 - 2005:
480,566,483
Fixed asset turnover ratio measures sales productivity and plant and equipment utilization. It is clear that
this ratio is rising from 2006 which is 1.5 to 1.93 in 2007
Total asset turnover ratio measures that how much sales are generated through the total assets of the
organization.
Total assets
2006 – 2007:
15980816000
2005 - 2006:
15980816000
14111630000
It shows that company must manage its total assets efficiently and should generate maximum sales
through their proper utilization. As the ratio, increases there are more revenue generated per rupee of
total investment in asset. The company ability to produce a large volume of sales on a small total asset
based is an important part of the company’s overall performance in terms of profits. In 2007, 2006. The
ratio was 1.1, 1.45 times respectively. In 2007, the ratio indicates that it is producing RS 1.45 sales per
Rupees of investment in total assets. So as time is going by this ratio is increasing which means
company performance is up to mark in terms of profits.
Receivables turnover ratio is equal to net credit sales divided by average receivables.
Avg. Receivables
2006 – 2007:
1016807982
2005 - 2006:
2004 - 2005:
532836064
Receivables turnover ratio measures the average length of time it takes a company to collect credit sales
in percentage terms. So Receivables turn over ratio is becoming worse as it was 30.2 in 2006 as
compare to 2007 which is 22.8 times. So the company is not performing well and showing not good
management.
Average collection period in days is equal to days in year divided by Receivables turnover ratio.
2006 – 2007:
22.8
2005 - 2006:
Receivables turnover ratio = 360
30.2
2004 - 2005:
34.3
Average collection period shows the average length of time it takes a company to collect credit sales in
days. From above analysis it is clear that average collection period is 16 days respectively in year
an2006. But it is best was in 2005 which is 11 days.
Profitability Ratios:
Sales
2006 – 2007:
23183222000
17601783000
2004 - 2005:
18276277000
Gross profit margin or gross profit ratio is the ratio of gross profit to net sales expressed as percentage.
From Gross profit the company adjusts its operating and administrative expenses. In 2006 it increased
heavily but in 2007 it decreased to 21.22 %. The gross profit is sufficient to recover all operating
expenses and to build up reserve after paying all fixed interest charges and all dividends.
Operating Profit Margin is equal to earning before interest and tax divided by sales.
Sales
2006 – 2007:
23183222000
17601783000
2004 - 2005:
18276277000
