India sales grew 6% YoY to | 2125 crore (I-direct estimate: | 2189 crore) EBITDA margins declined to 21.8% (I-direct estimate: 21.5%) against 31.0% in Q3FY17, due to high base, pricing pressure in the US and decline in Taro’s margins (42.5% vs. 60.2% in Q3FY17) Adjusted net profit declined 75% to | 364 crore (I-direct estimate: | 957 crore). Change vis-à-vis EBITDA was owing to lower other income and | 513 crore of one-off tax expenses due to re- measurement of group deferred tax assets US business still key lever for growth but environment challenging The US business, which constitutes ~45% of turnover, has grown at 8% CAGR in FY13-17, on the back of acquisitions like Caraco, Taro, Dusa, URL and timely product launches. US product basket remains robust - 418 ANDAs filed and 126 pending approvals. Some niche launches include Lipodox (Doxil), Doxycycline, Nystatin, etc, besides complex/limited competition products and plain vanilla generics. US growth has also been backed by extensive infrastructure with 41 global manufacturing facilities. Ranbaxy Acquisition Synergy - Ranbaxy’s stronghold in fast growing emerging markets (50% of Ranbaxy's sales) is likely to complement Sun’s presence in this space. Regarding US, Sun is looking for a leadership position in the niche generic derma space and also to enter branded and OTC segments. In the domestic space, the acquisition is likely to provide more therapeutic diversification and improve its market share in key segments. Domestic market share has substantially improved to 8.9% from 5.5% with leadership in as many as 11 therapies. The management has maintained the synergy guidance of US$300 million by FY18. However, warning letters to Karkhadi, Halol and acute pricing pressure in the US base business are major challenges. Due to a challenging environment in the generics front the management plans to diversify into specialty products such as Tildrakizumab (dermatology), BromSite, Seciera (both ophthalmic) and Odomzo (oncology), etc. We expect the US business to decline at a CAGR of 12% to | 9529 crore in FY17-20E due to high base and sharp price erosion in base business besides delay in Halol resolution. Indian formulations will likely grow at a CAGR of 11% to | 10684 crore in FY17-20E backed by new launches and price hikes. Progress of speciality pipeline likely to be key driver Q3 was impacted by the sharp fall in Taro’s financials. However, ex Taro’s base business, margins improved mainly due to cost rationalisation and forex elements. The management has maintained its guidance of 20-22% EBITDA margins. However, as per their own assertion (and going by the run rate of 9M), guidance for single digit revenue decline is most likely to be missed. Broadly, the challenges persist on the generics pricing front in the base business. Unlike other generic players, the approval momentum is slightly slow in Sun’s case, mainly due to pending Halol resolution. However, progress in the speciality portfolio is promising, which is the key differentiator vis-à-vis peers. We maintain HOLD rating with a new target price of | 530 based on 22x FY20E EPS of | 22.4 and | 38 NPV for Tildrakizumab.

Result Update

Taro drags Q3 but ex-Taro margins improve…

Revenues declined 16% YoY to | 6653 crore (I-direct estimate:

| 6907 crore) due to 38% YoY decline in the US to | 2125 crore (I-

direct estimate: | 2189 crore) due to the high base of gGleevec and

gBenicar and dismal performance of Taro’s sales. India sales grew

6% YoY to | 2125 crore (I-direct estimate: | 2189 crore)

EBITDA margins declined to 21.8% (I-direct estimate: 21.5%) against

31.0% in Q3FY17, due to high base, pricing pressure in the US and

decline in Taro’s margins (42.5% vs. 60.2% in Q3FY17)

Adjusted net profit declined 75% to | 364 crore (I-direct estimate:

| 957 crore). Change vis-à-vis EBITDA was owing to lower other

income and | 513 crore of one-off tax expenses due to re-

measurement of group deferred tax assets

US business still key lever for growth but environment challenging

The US business, which constitutes ~45% of turnover, has grown at 8%

CAGR in FY13-17, on the back of acquisitions like Caraco, Taro, Dusa, URL

and timely product launches. US product basket remains robust - 418

ANDAs filed and 126 pending approvals. Some niche launches include

Lipodox (Doxil), Doxycycline, Nystatin, etc, besides complex/limited

competition products and plain vanilla generics. US growth has also been

backed by extensive infrastructure with 41 global manufacturing facilities.

Ranbaxy Acquisition Synergy - Ranbaxy’s stronghold in fast growing

emerging markets (50% of Ranbaxy's sales) is likely to complement Sun’s

presence in this space. Regarding US, Sun is looking for a leadership

position in the niche generic derma space and also to enter branded and

OTC segments. In the domestic space, the acquisition is likely to provide

more therapeutic diversification and improve its market share in key

segments. Domestic market share has substantially improved to 8.9%

from 5.5% with leadership in as many as 11 therapies. The management

has maintained the synergy guidance of US$300 million by FY18.

However, warning letters to Karkhadi, Halol and acute pricing pressure in

the US base business are major challenges. Due to a challenging

environment in the generics front the management plans to diversify into

specialty products such as Tildrakizumab (dermatology), BromSite,

Seciera (both ophthalmic) and Odomzo (oncology), etc.

We expect the US business to decline at a CAGR of 12% to | 9529 crore

in FY17-20E due to high base and sharp price erosion in base business

besides delay in Halol resolution. Indian formulations will likely grow at a

CAGR of 11% to | 10684 crore in FY17-20E backed by new launches and

price hikes.

Progress of speciality pipeline likely to be key driver

Q3 was impacted by the sharp fall in Taro’s financials. However, ex Taro’s

base business, margins improved mainly due to cost rationalisation and

forex elements. The management has maintained its guidance of 20-22%

EBITDA margins. However, as per their own assertion (and going by the

run rate of 9M), guidance for single digit revenue decline is most likely to

be missed. Broadly, the challenges persist on the generics pricing front in

the base business. Unlike other generic players, the approval momentum

is slightly slow in Sun’s case, mainly due to pending Halol resolution.

However, progress in the speciality portfolio is promising, which is the

key differentiator vis-à-vis peers. We maintain HOLD rating with a new

target price of | 530 based on 22x FY20E EPS of | 22.4 and | 38 NPV for

Tildrakizumab.

Company Analysis

Established in 1983, Sun Pharma is the largest Indian pharmaceutical

company both in terms of market capitalisation and turnover (FY17).

The company manufactures and markets a large basket of pharmaceutical

formulations in India, the US and several other markets across the world.

However, US and Indian formulations are by far the core strengths and

growth drivers for the company. The company has ~50 manufacturing

sites across the world. The US business has been built mostly on

acquisitions and generic focus. It owns the largest product basket among

Indian players with as many as 558 product (ANDA) filings. In Indian

formulations, the company is a leader in niche therapy areas of

psychiatry, gastroenterology, neurology, cardiology, nephrology,

orthopaedics and ophthalmology.

The company completed the $3.2 billion acquisition of Ranbaxy

Laboratories after almost a year of navigating the regulatory gauntlet to

create the world’s fifth-largest generic pharmaceutical company by

revenue. The company has planned a capex of US$250 million for

Tildrakizumab, the IL-23 monoclonal anti-body in-licensed from MSD (US)

over four or five years to be utilised for its psoriasis trials. The company

has guided for filing of Investigational IL-23p19 inhibitor, Tildrakizumab, in

FY19.

Sun acquired Odomzo (oncology) from Novartis in December, 2016, for

$175 million and additional milestones payments. USFDA approved this

in July, 2015 for treatment of locally advanced basal cell cancer and is the

first branded oncology product for Sun Pharma in the US. Total 70% who

prescribe are dermatologists while the rest are oncologists for this drug.

Seciera (for dry eyes disease), which was acquired from Ocular

Technologies, has shown promising phase III results. The company will

enter into dialogue with FDA regarding further course of action for the

product.

A snapshot of the galloping performance in the last four years - sales

grew at ~41% CAGR to | 31578 crore, EBIDTA grew at CAGR of ~39% to

| 10089 crore. Adjusted PAT grew at a CAGR of ~33% to | 10089 crore.

Going ahead, we expect revenues to remain flat in FY17-20E to | 31729

crore after considering the Ranbaxy acquisition.

The US business, which constituted ~45% of the turnover (FY17), has

grown at a CAGR of 8% in FY13-17 on the back of successful acquisitions

such as Caraco and Taro (recently Dusa, URL) and timely product

launches (recent gGleevec launch under exclusivity). The US product

basket remains robust - 558 ANDAs filed, 422 approvals received, some

niche launches include Lipodox/Doxil (~US$150 million), Doxycycline

(~US$100 million), Nystatin (~US$90 million), etc, besides

complex/limited competition products and plain vanilla generics. US

growth is also being backed by extensive infrastructure. Out of the ~50

global manufacturing facilities, ~20 have been approved by the USFDA.

The only blot in an otherwise smooth journey is the warning letter to the

Halol plant. We expect the US business to decline at a CAGR of 12% to

| 9529 crore in FY17-20E due to high base and sharp price erosion in

base business.

Indian formulations, which form 26% of the turnover (FY17), have grown

at a CAGR of 27% in FY13-17. With a market share of 8.5%, the company

is ranked No. 1 in domestic formulations. The acute, chronic and sub-

chronic segments were at 41%, 46% and 14% of revenues, respectively.

It is a leader in three therapeutic categories. Indian formulation growth

was unaffected despite NLEM 2011 implementation vagaries and channel

disturbances due to trade margin issues with wholesalers/distributors. We

expect Indian formulations to grow at a CAGR of 11% to | 10684 crore in

FY17-20E backed by new launches and price hikes.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths - Above average profitability margins, healthy return ratios

despite higher cash component, one of the first companies to identify

potential of innovative R&D and generic R&D, robust infrastructure to

scale up US business, India business built around chronic focus, one of

the few companies defying the slowdown in Indian formulations.

Weakness - Pending Ranbaxy compliance issues.

Opportunities - The US generics space, the biosimilars space where Sun

is yet to make meaningful foray.

Industry specific threats - Increased USFDA scrutiny across the globe

regarding cGMP issues, pricing pressure due to client consolidation in the

US, pricing probe by the Department of Justice (DoJ) in the US.

Company specific threats - The Halol facility has received a warning letter

from the USFDA, which is yet to be resolved. A relatively smaller Karkhadi

facility also received a warning letter (and import alert), which is also

pending for resolution.

Conference call highlights

The management has reiterated its EBITDA guidance of 20-22%

for FY18. However, it expects revenue guidance of high single

digit in FY18 to be missed marginally

The company has launched gCoreg CR (CVS) in the US. As of

now, it is the only generic approved for this product

USFDA accepted the company’s NDA for dry eye candidate, OTX-

101

The management does not see any improvement in pricing

scenario in the US generic space. It expects pricing pressure in

the US generics space is product specific and not for the entire

segment

The company has recovered most of the deferred US sales of Q3

during the quarter

For Tildrakizumab, it continues to expect the BLA approval in US

in FY19. PADUFA date for this is end of March 2018

US Filing for Tildrakizumab will be done by Merck. The initial

supplies for market also will come from the Merck, till Sun

relocates manufacturing to another supplier. However, post

approval it will be Sun’s product. The field force Recruitments for

this product is also going on

As per IMS, Absorica prescriptions have declined mainly due to

significant correction in co-pay programme

Major chunk of Odomzo sales is emanating from oncologists. The

company is trying to leverage its derma field force to improve

coverage in the prescriptions it will get from the dermatologist

Taro’s results highlight

Taro’s revenues declined 30% YoY to US$156 million in the

backdrop of persistent competition and a challenging pricing

environment despite an increase in overall volumes. EBITDA

margins contracted to 42.5% from 60.2% in Q3FY17

Taro’s net profit declined 87% YoY to US$18. Excluding the

impact of the aforementioned one-time tax re-measurement, net

profit was at US$54.8 million

Forex gain was US$3.7 million due to strengthening of the

Canadian dollar versus the US dollar

Valuation

Q3 was impacted by the sharp fall in Taro’s financials. However, ex Taro’s

base business, margins improved mainly due to cost rationalisations and

forex elements. The management has maintained guidance for 20-22%

EBITDA margins. However, as per their own assertion (and going by the

run rate of 9M), guidance for single digit revenue decline is most likely to

be missed. Broadly, the challenges persist on the generics pricing front in

the base business. Unlike other generic players, the approval momentum

is slightly slow in Sun’s case, mainly due to pending Halol resolution.

However, progress in the speciality portfolio is promising, which is the

key differentiator vis-à-vis peers. We maintain HOLD with a new target

price of | 530 based on 22x FY20E EPS of | 22.4 and | 38 NPV for

Tildrakizumab.
