Besides these it has also filed ANDAs for limited competition products such as 1) Glatiramer Acetate injection (multiple sclerosis) 2) Lansoprazole (anti-ulcerant; launched post approval) and 3) Budesonide (Crohn’s disease).

Company Analysis

Natco Pharma is a mid sized pharmaceutical company with a presence across the pharma value chain. The company also has US retail business. It owns six manufacturing facilities including four formulations facilities and two APIs facilities. The company’s overall revenues grew at a CAGR of 10.5% in FY09-14. Natco is a leading domestic player in the oncology space. The company derives ~35-40% of sales from the oncology business (both APIs and Formulations). NPL’s product pipeline consists of drugs which are used for various types of cancer like blood cancer, breast cancer, brain cancer, ovarian cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer. Currently, Natco is marketing ~18 products in the Indian market. On the export front, Natco exports products to US, Canada and Europe regions. Despite being a late entrant in the US market, it has carved out its own identity via tie-ups to tap limited but niche products pipeline including 12 Para IVs and limited competition products. The products which are having first to file status are Lenalidomide Capsules, Oseltamivir Phosphate capsules, Lanthanum Carbonate chewable tablets, Lapatinib Ditosylate tablets and Bendamustine Hydrochloride powder. The other limited competition products are Glatiramer Acetate Injection (Para IV) and Budesonide. There are still more such candidates in the pipeline. Natco had earlier tried to pursue the route of retail pharmacies as a gateway for entry into the US market. Later on, it revisited the strategy and sold two pharmacies and currently owns and operates a single store. As per the revised and more feasible game plan, it plans to market products via tie-ups with established players in the generic space. Overall, we expect base business revenues to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% in FY14-17E to | 1077 crore. Exhibit 1: Revenues to grow at a CAGR of 13.4% in FY14-17E

SWOT Analysis Strengths- focus on limited but niche opportunities, tie-ups with the MNCs, larger Indian companies to share risks, focus on Oncology in the domestic space, strong balance sheet. Weakness- Domestic oncology growth still flattish due to institutional focus. Opportunities- The US Generics space. Threats- Increased USFDA scrutiny across the globe regarding cGMP issues and consolidation in the US pharmacy space. Delay in getting USFDA approvals. Currency volatility and lumpiness in tender business in Venezuela.

Valuation Q3 numbers were affected by loss of business in Venezuela overshadowing the solid growth registered in the domestic oncology space. However, scores of important approvals and launches in the coming 18-24 month will be keenly watched. We continue to value the stock on SoTP basis to capture the emerging FTF / limited competition opportunities in the US. We value the base business separately and have assigned NPV for some of the future launches as the FTF/Para IV status to some of them warrants future pipeline recognition. Similarly, we have calculated gCopaxone (Glatiramer Acetate) separately considering the likelihood of its launch after September 2015 (earlier March- September 2015), post the approval from the USFDA. The hearing has already started and the verdict is expected in Q4FY15. Our revised target price of | 1354 includes base business value of | 943.5 (17x FY17E EPS of | 55.5) + | 219 for NPV of other FTF / Para IVs + | 191 for gCopaxone. Exhibit 7: Valuation
