Industry Overview: The oil & gas and chemical logistics business could continue to provide good potential in India due to increase in import and

export of oil products, chemicals and LPG. Consequently, India's large coastline, land area and the largest rail network provide an immense opportunity to logistics and warehousing companies.

India is emerging as one of the most important global locations for the chemical industry, with continuous growth in the demand of chemicals. The Indian chemical market is one of the fastest growing in the world, with an annual growth rate of approximately 12%.

Rapid economic growth is leading to greater outputs, which in turn is increasing the demand of oil for production and transportation. Due to the expected strong growth in demand, India’s dependency on oil imports is likely to increase further.

With the growing energy demand in India and increase in the movement of oil, chemicals and petrochemicals, there is therefore a huge potential for the expansion of pipelines, transportation and infrastructure.

Cargo traffic at major ports in India stood at 647.43 MMT in FY17, growing at a CAGR of 4.02 per cent from FY07-FY17. In FY18 (till September 2017), major ports have handled 326.38 million tonnes of traffic. Cargo at major port in India for Liquid (petroleum, oil and lubricants) contributed 33.3% of total cargo profile in FY16, and it is expected to increase to 38.4% in FY18E.

Investment Rationale:

Expansion plans at existing locations could help to boost revenues and margins from LST business going forward: Ganesh Benzoplast has completed refurbishment of tanks/ tank farm and lying of SS pipeline from the shallow jetty to JNPT

terminal, which will handle additional ship loading. Company has expanded its storage capacity at JNPT (added 0.48 lac KL in June 2017) & Kochi terminal (added 0.10 lac KL in

Oct 2017) at a cost of ~Rs.35 cr, the impact of which on revenue generation could be reflected in the coming quarters of FY18 and in FY19.

The Company has expansion opportunities available at Goa and Cochin terminals. Ganesh Benzoplast is already working at high cent capacity utilisation. Once it reaches optimum level, GBL will go for

expansion in JNPT in land area for which it is in negotiations with port authorities. Company is also planning to set up a LPG terminal at Goa. The Company has received certain statutory approvals for setting

up a LPG terminal at its Goa facility and Strong performance of LST business: LST business contributes 61.4% of its revenue as on 31st March 2017 and this segment has played important role in improving the financials (ROCE >38 and ROA>20) of the company. This performance is expected to continue in the short to medium term without any major uncertainties and due to increased demand for imported oils, chemicals. LST business is light on working capital and hence has high return ratios. By where there is no working capital requirement and up till now, they were focusing more on edible oil and has recently migrated towards LPG storage. Rental for LPG storage is 10x compared to their edible oil storage rental. Ganesh Benzoplast plays a leading international role in the storage of refined oil products, chemicals, biofuels, vegetable oils and liquefied gases, growing logistic flows and an increasing demand for storage and transshipment services could provide more opportunities to generate revenue going forward. LST business has following niche advantage: Entry barriers because of high capital intensive nature of business and lack of spare land at busy ports Fixed rental fees for capacity Monthly invoicing in advance No commodity risk though storing commodity products Very low operating costs once operational

Relatively high Sales to Assets ratio Long tenure contracts provide assured occupancy levels & utilizations level.

Debt reduction and higher operating profits could lead to attractive EV/EBITDA number. Company has been reducing its debt from Rs. 470 crores in FY07 to Rs.162 crore in H2FY18 with the help of cash generated by liquid storage business and write offs of debt by the lenders. Total Networth has come to negative ~Rs.9 crore as on H2FY18 from negative Rs.84 crore in FY15. Company has not gone for any type of equity dilution since last 6 years as it was not able to find any scope to equity dilution because of poor financial performance over the period. Among the large debts on its books is Rs.95 cr from Kotak Mahindra Bank which it plans to restructure by the end of FY18. This will also result in debt levels coming down and networth rising. The management expects to be net worth positive by March 31, 2018. The Company has won a case filed u/s 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, against Pan Asia Industries, for recovery of outstanding dues of Rs 5.50 crore plus interest. The Court passed an order directing Pan Asia Industries (the defaulter) to pay a sum of Rs 9.00 crore to Ganesh Benzoplast. The company has further filed an Enhancement Application before the Session Court, for increasing the compensation amount to Rs 11 crore. Demerger proposal of loss making chemicals business could help unlock value of LST business and lead to overall rise in company’s valuations Chemicals business of the company has been bleeding for quite some time.

(Source: Company, HDFC sec) There have been several reasons for this underperformance. Chinese competition, unavailability/price increase of raw materials, increasing local competition etc are some of the reasons.

The business incurred loss of Rs.8.6 cr in FY17 out of which about Rs.6 cr was depreciation loss. There is a small improvement in the performance of the business in H2FY18 as the loss has come down on higher sales.

The Company is planning to segregate both the divisions of the Company by way of Demerger as decided by the Board in its Meeting held on August 18, 2017. The consultants have been appointed and the demerger scheme is under preparation. As both the divisions has totally different synergies & to ensure greater focus to the operation of each of the divisions & to enhance profitability & generate maximum shareholder value, it will be more beneficial for the Company to segregate both the divisions.

While there could be uncertainty about the pace and timing of the turnaround of the chemicals business, the valuations of the combined business is suffering. Hence the demerger proposal would help in unlocking the value of the two businesses separately resulting in better valuations for the company. Proposed green field LPG terminal at Goa could provide medium term visibility to revenues and margins: The Company is planning to set up a LPG terminal at its Goa facility. The Company has received certain statutory approvals for setting up of LPG storage tanks at its Goa terminal and the Company would actively pursue for the development of LPG storage tanks at its Goa facility in the coming years.

GBL already has land at Goa and plans to set up a capacity of 20000 tonnes for LPG at a capex of Rs.150 cr (funded Rs.80-85 cr from debt and rest from suppliers’ credit and internal accruals).

This business is also a high margin high fixed cost business. At full capacity and with just 2 throughputs it could generate revenues of 65-70 cr p.a. and a PBT of Rs.40-45 cr p.a.

GBL has already obtained letter of interest from oil marketing companies who could use this as a base for selling LPG in Goa, south Maharashtra and Karnataka states Government’s plans for development of Coastal economic zone could benefit to existing players like GBL: The Government of India plans to build 14 CEZs in the country to boost manufacturing and jobs. In November 2017, the first mega CEZ at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Maharashtra has been cleared. Apart from this, increasing trade is translating into higher demand for containerization due to their efficiency. GBL has storage tanks at Goa, JNPT and Cochin and engaged in this business since three decades. Therefore, GBL could be one of the key beneficiaries from government’s measure. Risk and Concerns:

Leakage from storage tank: Company is engaged in Liquid Storage Tank business with strong clienteles like BPCL, Cargil India, Jubliant, Allana, Pidilite, Any leakage in tank could impact its business and Environment Board and Pollution Control Board could take action against the company. During the month of July 2016, thousands of litres of edible oil stored by the Ganesh Benzoplast Limited (GBL) Company near JNPT leaked out due to some technical glitch. Nevertheless, the loss of leaked oil was properly insured and hence there was no financial impact of that event.

Entry into unrelated business: Ganesh Benzoplast’s past experience of entry into unrelated business has not been good, as company was also engaged in Salt manufacturing business and Fire fighting vessels in the past. Any repeat of such actions could be detrimental to the objects of the company. As per the management’s decision it’s clear that they in future they want to focus only and only in Infrastructure business only.

Promoter has pledged shares: As on 30th Sept, 2017, Company’s promoter’s has pledged its 78.04% holding (of 43.02% stake). As per the management, GBL has offered the security of their fixed assets to secured lenders which is 5 times the loan exposure and the pledging of shares was just a additional collateral from prompters as a requirement of secured lender. Economy and export/import factors could impact its business: Ganesh Benzoplast’s storage business depends on export and import of oil products/chemicals/petroleum products. Oil production has been increasing steadily across the globe. The supply of oil in the market has surpassed the demand and consumption of oil. This has created a favorable market for oil storage which can be consumed in future. Any adverse factor of oil products/chemicals/petroleum products demand and supply could impact storage business. Apart from this, changes to government policies on coastal regulations, import/export or storage regulations etc could impact its revenues and margins. Chemical Business could see losses till demerger: Chemical business is loss making business and company has reported negative EBIT of Rs 8.6 cr in FY 17. There are no major signs of recovery in chemical business. Poor performance in its profitability could impact its valuation going forward till the demerger is complete. Regulatory risk for expansion of LST business: LST business requires various approvals from environmental clearance board, pollution control board, port authorities and state governments, any hurdles for clearance could hit expansion plans going forward. Why Company has reported poor performance over the past: Company has started Liquid storage business 2 decades ago and had entered some unrelated business like salt making and operation of vessels (safety vessels which carry out evacuation or fire fighting for the operating sites) for ONGC. Salt making business got destroyed in 2001 earthquake and ONGC terminated contract later. So the trouble started in 2001/2003. Company is in BIFR and it has planned to come out in FY18. Promoters brought in Rs.50 cr as part of OTS in 2005-07 and GBL gradually started to repay loans and brought down the debt figure.

Apart from this, company’s business has been lumpy from time to time. One cause for this would be the fluctuation in the prices of its raw material (crude oil based) price coupled with slowdown in global market, as it exports chemicals to Middle East, Latin America, Europe, USA, Canada and South East Asia.
