Industry Dynamics
The poultry feed industry in Pakistan is characterized by a competitive market structure consisting of approximately 215 feed mills. The sector is relatively unorganized, with sales heavily dependent on the poultry and livestock industries and primarily conducted through household premises or shops. Key industry dynamics are driven by the availability and pricing of its two primary raw materials: maize, for which Pakistan is self-sufficient , and soybean meal, which is largely dependent on imported soybean seeds. This reliance on imports makes the sector vulnerable to international price fluctuations and exchange rate volatility. Operationally, the industry faces significant credit risk, as approximately 90% of sales to controlled sheds are made on credit. While the sector's turnover declined by 7.7% in FY24 due to lower demand from the poultry segment , net margins recently improved to 3.5% as production costs eased.
Relative Position
Jadeed Feeds hold a market share of ~14% on revenue basis and ~5% on production basis. The Company is the only player in the industry that imports and breeds grandparent poultry stock (Ross - 308).
Revenues
Jadeed Feeds reported a total revenue of PKR 82,322 million for FY25, reflecting a marginal year-on-year decline of 3.9% from the PKR 85,640 million recorded in FY24. This contraction in the topline is primarily attributed to the cessation of egg export operations, which previously bolstered international sales volumes. The company’s revenue stream remains concentrated across two core segments: Day-Old Chicks (DOC), which contributed a majority share of 55%, and Poultry Feed, accounting for the remaining 45%. Despite the slight annual dip, the 1QFY26 revenue of PKR 21,878 million suggests a stabilized quarterly run rate; however, the shift toward a purely domestic sales mix may pressure margins if local demand fluctuates or if rising input costs cannot be fully passed through to consumers. This performance underscores a strategic reliance on the DOC segment to drive growth while highlighting the need to diversify revenue streams or resume export activities to offset the current stagnant growth in the poultry feed market.
Margins
Jadeed Feeds demonstrated a notable strengthening of its bottom line in FY25, as gross margins expanded to 11.5% from 10.8% in the preceding year. This margin enhancement was primarily fueled by a 5% reduction in Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)—largely due to softening raw material prices—which more than offset the marginal decline in top-line revenue. This operational efficiency, coupled with a disciplined approach to debt, led to a significant surge in the net profit margin to 3.9% (up from 2.4% in FY24). A pivotal driver of this profitability was the 65% reduction in finance costs, which plummeted from PKR 2,746 million to PKR 955 million, suggesting either a strategic deleveraging of the balance sheet or a favorable shift in the interest rate environment. While elevated administrative expenses exerted some upward pressure on operating overheads, the substantial savings in interest payments and optimized procurement strategies effectively fortified the company’s net earnings, positioning it for greater financial resilience in 1QFY26, net profit margin reporting at 6.2%.
Sustainability
The Company aims to optimize utilization of its production capacity along with keeping costs under control, going forward.
Financial Risk
Working capital
Jadeed Feeds witnessed a significant transformation in its cash conversion cycle during FY25, characterized by a strategic buildup of inventory and a major shift in its trade credit position. Inventory turnover slowed as total inventory days climbed from 37 to 51 days, driven by a deliberate increase in raw material holdings (from 17 to 26 days) and a moderate rise in finished goods, which may indicate a strategic stocking of inputs to hedge against future price volatility. While the company optimized its liquidity through aggressive receivable management—slashing debtor days from 6 to a mere 2 days—the most impactful shift occurred in its procurement strategy, where payable days nearly doubled from 30 to 58 days. This substantial extension in creditor payments, likely reflecting stronger bargaining power or revised supplier terms, successfully offset the higher inventory carrying costs. Consequently, the company transitioned to a negative net working capital cycle of -4 days from a positive 14 days in FY24; this negative cycle is a highly favorable indicator of operational liquidity, as it implies the business is effectively financing its inventory growth through supplier credit rather than external debt.
Coverages
Jadeed Feeds demonstrated a robust strengthening of its liquidity profile in FY25, with Free Cash Flow from Operations (FCFO) growing to PKR 6,947 million from PKR 5,553 million in FY24, underscoring a high quality of earnings and improved cash conversion. This upward trajectory was significantly bolstered by a disciplined reduction in finance costs, which plummeted by approximately 65%, driving the FCFO-to-finance cost ratio to a healthy 7.3x and the EBITDA interest coverage ratio to a stellar 10.0x. While the total coverage ratio saw a technical dip to 0.6x—likely due to the timing of scheduled debt repayments or a shift toward shorter-term financing structures—the broader metrics indicate a vastly superior capacity to service debt compared to the previous year. This enhanced solvency, fueled by the transition to a negative working capital cycle and lower interest burdens, provides the company with significant financial "dry powder" to pursue capital expenditures or organic growth initiatives without compromising its credit stability.
Capitalization
The Company's capital structure experienced a significant expansion in FY25, with total debt rising to PKR 13,862 million from PKR 7,754 million, primarily to fund working capital requirements as evidenced by a short-term running finance concentration of 85.9%. Despite this nominal increase in leverage, the company’s risk profile remains anchored by a growing equity base of PKR 13,205 million, bolstered by strong profit retention. While the gearing ratio (debt-to-debt-plus-equity) shifted to 51.2% from 39.4%, the company maintains a balanced capital mix; however, the heavy skew toward short-term instruments introduces heightened sensitivity to interest rate volatility and reinvestment risk. To optimize its balance sheet, the company should consider a strategic terming-out of its debt—converting high-cost short-term lines into long-term facilities—which would better align its maturity profile with long-term asset growth and insulate its cash flows from sudden shifts in the monetary environment, especially given the current strength of its interest coverage metrics.
