While D/E ratio improved from 1.9x to 0.3x, the debt/EBITDA improved from 4.5x to 0.9x in FY09-17. As the capex cycle moderates by FY18, the company expects to utilise maximum FCF for debt repayment.

This is on the back of lower product concentration as top 25 products are now contributing 35% of the US portfolio against 45% in Q1FY17. Moreover, we expect the percentage of injectables, which are relatively insulated from pricing pressure, in the US portfolio, to grow from 14% in FY17 to 20-25% by FY19. We believe launches continuum, especially in the injectable space, can effectively neutralise channel consolidation and pricing pressure headwinds.

Result Update

Europe, US launches support numbers…

Revenues remained flat YoY at | 3679 crore (I-direct estimate: | 3671

crore) driven by 10% growth in the Europe to | 918 crore (I-direct

estimate: | 839 crore). US growth was flat at | 1695 crore (I-direct

estimate: | 1661 crore) despite strong headwinds. ARV business

declined 19% to | 245 crore (I-direct estimate: | 318 crore) whereas

APIs declined 15% to | 625 crore

EBITDA margins declined 72 bps YoY to 22.9% (I-direct estimate:

20.9%) due to higher employee and other expenditure

Adjusted net profit (ex forex gain/loss) declined 8% YoY to | 537

crore (I-direct estimates: | 466 crore)

US key growth driver despite imminent pricing pressure

After filing ANDA in the US in 2003, the company has come a long way as

current ANDA filings are at 429. The US revenue run rate has grown from

~US$100 million in 2009 to crossing $1 billion sales as on 2017. Note that

this was despite the USFDA embargo in FY12-13 on unit VI and unit III. In

rupee term, US sales have grown at 42% CAGR to | 6827 crore in FY12-

17. US formulations now constitute 46% of total turnover, up from 26% in

FY12. US traction has also boosted investor’s confidence, which was

impacted by warning letters, piling up debts besides non-business

political adversaries. We expect US sales to grow at 6% CAGR on a

higher base to | 7631 crore in FY17-19E.

Transformation, capacity optimisation to improve margins, cash flows

The API: formulations ratio has improved from 43:57 in FY12 to 21:79 in

FY17. Another USP of the company is its vertically integrated model with

huge capacity, unmatched by most peers. The company owns 22

manufacturing facilities, including eight key formulations facilities in India

and abroad. These can be optimised by 1) continuous US filings and

launches, 2) incremental launches and filings in the RoW markets and 3)

site transfers and supplies for products covered under the Actavis deal.

Higher capacity utilisation is likely to improve operating leverage thereby

maintaining the margin improvement trend.

Debt no more fear factor

The company’s debts kept on piling up over the last few years as the

capacity built up was in full flow and rupee depreciation. Working capital

loans are now 85% of overall debts from 65-70% earlier. However, with

consistent and incremental US cash flows the situation improved

markedly. While D/E ratio improved from 1.9x to 0.3x, the debt/EBITDA

improved from 4.5x to 0.9x in FY09-17. As the capex cycle moderates by

FY18, the company expects to utilise maximum FCF for debt repayment.

Launches continuum in US to mitigate pricing pressure

Unlike other peers, the Aurobindo management has asserted confidence

on the US near term prospect despite strong pricing headwinds. This is

on the back of lower product concentration as top 25 products are now

contributing 35% of the US portfolio against 45% in Q1FY17. Moreover,

we expect the percentage of injectables, which are relatively insulated

from pricing pressure, in the US portfolio, to grow from 14% in FY17 to

20-25% by FY19. We believe launches continuum, especially in the

injectable space, can effectively neutralise channel consolidation and

pricing pressure headwinds. Other important segment i.e. Europe is likely

to fetch better margins on the back of product transfers to India and a

focused approach. We have ascribed a target price of | 745, based on 18x

FY19E EPS of | 41.4.

Company Analysis

Aurobindo Pharma was set up by first generation entrepreneurs PV

Ramprasad Reddy and K Nithyananda Reddy in 1986. Based in

Hyderabad, the company is an integrated pharmaceutical company,

which started as an API manufacturer. In 2001, it moved up the value

chain by foraying into formulations while from 2007 onwards it started

scaling up the formulation business. APL's manufacturing facilities have

been approved by several leading regulatory agencies like USFDA,

UKMHRA, WHO, Health Canada, MCC South Africa and Anvisa Brazil. The

company owns 22 manufacturing facilities, including eight key

formulations facilities in India and abroad. The company owns three R&D

centres. The current employee strength is more than 8000, which

includes more than 750 scientists.

In FY17, the API: formulations ratio was at 21:79. US formulations

constitute 45% of revenues followed by APIs & RoW formulations (25%),

Europe (22%) and ARV formulations (8%).

The company faced a USFDA embargo in 2011 for two of its units for

non-compliance with cGMP. It also went through political turmoil due to

the Telangana issue and alleged favours received by promoters through

political connections. Aurobindo acquired commercial operations in

seven Western European countries from Actavis. The company has

acquired personnel, commercial infrastructure, products, marketing

authorisation and dossier license rights in these seven countries. The

acquisition brought in a pipeline of ~1200 products from different

segments and an additional pipeline of over 200 products under its aegis.

Net sales for acquired businesses were ~€320 million. GPMs were ~30%.

They were fetching losses of ~€23 million at the EBITDA level.

Aurobindo Pharma also acquired the Generis group in Portugal in Q4FY17

through its step down subsidiary Agile Pharma (Netherlands) for a

consideration of ~€135 million (~| 985 crore). Generis’ CY16 revenues

were €64.8 million and EBITDA was €12.7 million.

The company also acquired the assets of nutritional supplement maker

Natrol Inc for a consideration of ~US$132.5 million. With this acquisition,

the company has forayed into the nutritional OTC business in the US and

other international markets. Overall, we expect revenues to grow at 6%

CAGR in FY17-19E to | 16990 crore on the back of Actavis consolidation

and incremental US launches.

After filing ANDA in the US in 2003, the company has come a long way as

current ANDA filings are at 442. The US revenue run rate has grown from

~US$100 million in 2009 to crossing $1 billion sales as on 2016. Note that

this was despite the USFDA embargo in FY12-13 on unit VI and unit III.

The much hyped Pfizer deal, which eventually fell apart, also had an

impact on US sales as the company had to invest in the front end

network. In rupee terms, US sales have grown at 42% CAGR to | 6827

crore in FY12-17. US formulations now constitute 46% of total turnover,

up from 26% in FY12. The US traction has also boosted investors’

confidence, which was affected by warning letters, piling debts besides

non-business political adversaries. We expect US sales to grow at a CAGR

of 6% on a higher base to | 7631 crore in FY17-19E.

From a prominent API supplier and participant in the global ARV tenders

to a leading formulations vendor, the company has virtually changed its

identity. The API: formulations ratio has improved from 43:57 in FY12 to

21:79 in FY17. Another USP of the company is its vertically integrated

model with huge capacity, unmatched by most peers. The company owns

22 manufacturing facilities, including eight key formulations facilities in

India and abroad. These can be optimised by 1) continuous US filings and

launches 2) incremental launches and filings in the RoW markets and 3)

site transfers and supplies for products covered under the Actavis deal.

Higher capacity utilisation is likely to have a positive impact on margins,

which are likely to be under some pressure after the Actavis deal.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths - US product pipeline, huge capacity, vertically integrated

business model

Weakness - No presence in Indian domestic formulations, substantial debt

Opportunities - US generics space, foray into oncology

Industry specific threats- Increased USFDA scrutiny across the globe

regarding cGMP issues, pricing pressure due to client consolidation.

Conference call highlights

As per the management, the price erosion in the US business was

at low double digits (11-12% YoY) in Q1FY18. The scenario is

likely to continue in the remaining three quarters of FY18

(fluctuating between high single digits and low double digits).

However, sequentially the price erosion on the base business was

flat QoQ

Despite the price erosion, the management has guided for

positive growth in the US in FY18

Aurobindo’s cumulative filings were at 442 ANDAs including 292

final approvals, 37 tentative approvals and 113 pending approvals.

The company’s US base business grew 3% YoY in Q1FY18

During Q1FY18, the company filed 13 ANDAs with USFDA

including nine in oral and four in injectable category. It has

launched 15 products in the US including 16 in oral and one in

injectable category in Q1FY18

In Q1FY18, R&D spend was at | 162 crore, 4% of revenues. The

company expects percentage of R&D spending to remain in the

range of 5-6% for FY18 and FY19

Capex spend during the quarter was at US$40 million

For FY18, the effective tax rate will be ~27%

ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 8

The acquired Generis group (Portugal), EBITDA margins were in

double digits during the quarter

The company has to date transferred manufacturing of 71

products from Europe (Actavis) to India

On the M&A strategy, the company intends to focus on market

penetration and newer technologies

On the launches front, gMucinex has already been launched while

volumes are getting ramped up. gVancomycin is expected to be

launched in FY18 while gDarunavir is expected to be filed in the

next few quarters

Unit 10 facility (SEZ) is expected to be commercialised on April 1,

2018. Unit 16 facility (injectable) has already received EIR and has

started exporting

On the debt front, the company reported a net debt of $560

million in Q1FY18. The net debt is currently at $605 million, which

is expected to reduce to $475 million in FY18 end

Valuation

Unlike other peers, the Aurobindo management has asserted its

confidence on the US near term prospect despite strong pricing

headwinds. This is on the back of lower product concentration as top 25

products are now contributing 35% of the US portfolio against 45% in

Q1FY17. Moreover, we expect the percentage of injectables, which are

relatively insulated from pricing pressure, in the US portfolio, to grow

from 14% in FY17 to 20-25% by FY19. We believe launches continuum,

especially in the injectable space, can effectively neutralise channel

consolidation and pricing pressure headwinds. Other important segment

i.e. Europe are likely to fetch better margins on the back of product

transfers to India and a focused approach. We have ascribed a target

price of | 745, based on 18x FY19E EPS of | 41.4.
