Nice call, cat! Bought a small quantity today.
But their website is terribly designed and the PDF product files crashed my browser.
Other than that, being a fluorochemicals manufacturing company, a chunk of their revenues come from selling CERs (certified emission reduction). Any idea what's percentage of revenues/profits come from this?
And do you have any idea about how the CER kyoto protocol bit works? To increase the sales of CER units, what do they have to do? Reduce green house gases production?

Thanx smartcat,with regards to Vivek's query, though they do have a few common products, there many products categories, which do not match (e.g. This company is not into textiles, unlike SRF and and would therefore not like to compare on a one-on-one basis.
However,here is Some more info on this company:
• Largest integrated fluorochemicals complex in India with hydrofluoric acid capacity of more than 20,000 tpa –
provides ability to speedily address new requirements of customers.
• Co has got a healthy mix of domestic and export sales. While refrigerant business is domestically doing well,
export business margins are fluctuating. The products are sold under the brand name “Mafron”
• Bulk chemical business is subject to some competitive pressure. However, specialty fluoride is growing at high
pace (3 yr CAGR: 18%) and the co is a leading global player in BF3.
• Key clients – Top five global crop protection companies like BASF and Bayer Cropscience; domestic clients
includes Ranbaxy, Matrix, Aurobindo, Hetero, Orchid, Lupin
• Phasing out CFC as per Montreal Protocol, will be more than compensated by HCFC business, which finds its
application into air-conditioners and refrigerators. HCFC business window is open till 2040.
• Consulted Mckinsey & Co to identify areas of cost reductions and profit improvement.
• Income from sales of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) will further improve the financial profile of the
company. (Refer to next slide)
• Healthy B/S and will become debt free in the current year; strong return ratios as well.
• High dividend yield of 5%
• Substantial recovery of dues from the group company, Mafatlal Industries, is expected as per the Chariman’s
speech at the AGM
• Valuable property at Mafatlal Centre, Nariman Point will be free of lease by 2012
Initiated the CDM project to reduce green house gas HCFC23 in June 2006, with technology
partners being Ineos Fluor, U.K.
• Co has received the UNFCCC approval for the project in April 2007 and the crediting has commenced from 1st May 2007.
• Co is entitled to receive 2.8 mn carbon credits annually for the next 5 years till 30th April 2012
and possibly till 30th April 2017, as it is expected that the Kyoto Protocol to get extended or replaced by another protocol.
• Assuming an average price of $12, the annual inflow out of carbon credits would be Rs 161 cr,translating into pre-tax Rs 159 per share. (Current Market price of carbon credits is $20)

For this you need to apply to UNFCC and register for the same giving quantifiable and measurable reduction in Carbon emmission detailing the procedure planned for achieving the same. Once allocated, the extent of acheivement is monitored by UNFCC reps in order to get the credit, which can then be sold off... quite an elaborate process..

That's true.......Navin Fluro itself is an offshoot from a BIFR case of a Mafatlal company.
Perhaps, I'm biased since i have money riding on this one.....
However, a return of 140 cr+ cash earning (even if you take 1/2 of the current CER price in MCX) for 9 years on a 300 cr enterprise value makes it very attractive.
IMO the Mafatlals will have to indulge in supreme shareholder unfriendly acts for the low market cap of 250 cr to be justified.

Mafatlals did not indulge in loot and scoot.
Mafatlals were blindsided by Dutta Samant and by Reliance. (Offcourse, this is no excuse)
Now they have stuck gold. It will be interesting to see how they use the cash.
My guess is that what ever they do....they will be very wary of debt.
Wonder how many folks are following the various Mafatlal scandals.

Does anyone have information on the CERs sale going forward? And how do we find out what was the revenue earned from the sale of carbon credits in a quarter or year.

Can anyone explain why the company would want to buy at 400Rs per share (via something similar to tender), when they are trading at 270Rs on the open market? The quantity they want to buy is about 3.5 lakh shares, which they can easily buy if they have patience. It will probably take around 3 months...but they can still buy the 3.5 lakh shares.
They can buy more number of shares for that money 3.5lakh*400 today at 270Rs.

It means Rs 400 is the maximum price at which buyback will be done. They usually give the upper limit because buyback extends upto six months from the date of starting buyback and therefore the upper price in case the share price goes up.

hit2710: This is not done the regular buy back way. They are paying 400 Rs per share. Incase of over delivery of shares, they will do it on a proportionate basis (just the way IPO's are over subscribed).
