<p><br>UPL Limited’s Q2/22-23 results were mixed. The company continued to beat estimates and guidance in terms of revenues and earnings. That said, negative developments included the large increase in working capital and operating cash outflows, a major share buyback and a substantial net debt increase. Overall, the pace of deleveraging fell far short of expectations and guidance. We highlight that the rating agencies are expecting debt reduction in FY 2022-23. Failure to achieve this could result in UPL becoming a fallen angel.</p>
