Separation of Fertilizer Business Stalled for Now
Business Strategy and Outlook
Incitec Pivot aims to expand its business around its strong global market share in explosives. This provides an increasingly stable earnings stream relative to volatile earnings from its fertilizer business. Competitive advantages include a duopoly Australian explosives business and global explosives operations. Incitec Pivot is also a dominant player in the Australian domestic fertilizer market and enjoys a degree of domestic fertilizer pricing power from its dominant market share in eastern states, but it is too small to influence global prices. The fertilizer business does not possess an economic moat.
