ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research October 18, 2017 Monthly Update Respite on GST but US stress to persist in Q2 l-direct coverage companies are expected to witness a revival on the domestic front post-GST implementation in Q2. However, no respite is likely on the US front as the core issue of pricing pressure continues to weigh. Accordingly, we expect the I-direct universe to register mere ~3% YoY growth to | 39389 crore. US business (select pack) is expected to decline 11% YoY to | 10452 crore. On the domestic front, we expect ~10% YoY growth to | 9334 crore (select pack) as most companies are expecting normalcy to be back in the distribution channels. However, due to GST related changes in accounting and reporting, domestic growth numbers may witness a marginal negative impact. On the companies front, Cadila (due to launch of limited competition gLialda in the US) is expected to register strong growth. On the other hand, 11 out of 19 companies of I- direct healthcare universe are expected to register negative or low single digit growth. EBITDA of the I-direct healthcare universe is expected to decline 13% YoY to | 8315 crore. EBITDA margins are likely to decline 388 bps YoY to 21%. An adverse product mix, increase in R&D expenditure and higher plant related fixed costs are likely to cause a sharp margin erosion for the universe during the quarter. Net profit is expected to decline ~17% YoY to | 4997 crore, mainly due to a subdued operational performance. On the regulatory front, Sun Pharma’s Dadra & Nagar Haveli formulation plant has received an establishment inspection report (EIR) from the USFDA, thus effectively closing the Form 483 observation letter that was issued by the USFDA on April 13, 2017. On the acquisition front, Lupin has acquired US based Symbiomix Therapeutics, which has one branded oral bacterial vaginosis (BV) medicine Solosec (approved by USFDA on September 15, 2017). The acquisition has been made for a cash consideration of US$ 150 million including US$50 million upfront, other time based contingent and sales based royalty payment (low mid teen). The acquisition will be funded from internal funds. The company expects five to six years of payback of this acquisition. Lupin is already selling branded Methergine in the gynaecology segment in US. Finally, the Indian pharmaceutical market (IPM) grew 2.8% YoY to | 10420 crore for September. The volume growth has shown a revival this month. However, the price component continues to be a dampener. GST disturbance to be temporary but respite unlikely on US front EIRs from the USFDA for clearance of plants are coming faster than expected. This may further expedite product approvals, thus intensifying competition. This will further intensify pricing pressure that has been the core issue compared to compliance. From our I-direct universe, almost all players with US franchisee are facing intense competition in the US owing to client consolidation and increase in product approvals, leading to price erosion in existing products to high single digit to low double digit. Similarly, other issues/uncertainties in the US like pricing probe by the Department of Justice (DoJ) and adapting to the bidding process are other near term overhangs. Back home, domestic growth, post GST implementation, has shown signs of a recovery. Despite a steep correction in some stocks, the undercurrent remains cautious for the sector. However, we expect the earnings momentum to normalise post H2FY19 on the back of incremental product launches largely on speciality, biosimilar and injectables front in the US besides normalising of Indian formulations growth and recovery in emerging markets.

Monthly Update

Respite on GST but US stress to persist in Q2

l-direct coverage companies are expected to witness a revival on the

domestic front post-GST implementation in Q2. However, no respite is likely

on the US front as the core issue of pricing pressure continues to weigh.

Accordingly, we expect the I-direct universe to register mere ~3% YoY

growth to | 39389 crore. US business (select pack) is expected to decline

11% YoY to | 10452 crore. On the domestic front, we expect ~10% YoY

growth to | 9334 crore (select pack) as most companies are expecting

normalcy to be back in the distribution channels. However, due to GST

related changes in accounting and reporting, domestic growth numbers

may witness a marginal negative impact. On the companies front, Cadila

(due to launch of limited competition gLialda in the US) is expected to

register strong growth. On the other hand, 11 out of 19 companies of I-

direct healthcare universe are expected to register negative or low single

digit growth.

EBITDA of the I-direct healthcare universe is expected to decline 13% YoY

to | 8315 crore. EBITDA margins are likely to decline 388 bps YoY to 21%.

An adverse product mix, increase in R&D expenditure and higher plant

related fixed costs are likely to cause a sharp margin erosion for the

universe during the quarter. Net profit is expected to decline ~17% YoY to

| 4997 crore, mainly due to a subdued operational performance.

On the regulatory front, Sun Pharma’s Dadra & Nagar Haveli formulation

plant has received an establishment inspection report (EIR) from the

USFDA, thus effectively closing the Form 483 observation letter that was

issued by the USFDA on April 13, 2017.

On the acquisition front, Lupin has acquired US based Symbiomix

Therapeutics, which has one branded oral bacterial vaginosis (BV) medicine

Solosec (approved by USFDA on September 15, 2017). The acquisition has

been made for a cash consideration of US$ 150 million including US$50

million upfront, other time based contingent and sales based royalty

payment (low mid teen). The acquisition will be funded from internal funds.

The company expects five to six years of payback of this acquisition. Lupin

is already selling branded Methergine in the gynaecology segment in US.

Finally, the Indian pharmaceutical market (IPM) grew 2.8% YoY to | 10420

crore for September. The volume growth has shown a revival this month.

However, the price component continues to be a dampener.

GST disturbance to be temporary but respite unlikely on US front

EIRs from the USFDA for clearance of plants are coming faster than

expected. This may further expedite product approvals, thus intensifying

competition. This will further intensify pricing pressure that has been the

core issue compared to compliance. From our I-direct universe, almost all

players with US franchisee are facing intense competition in the US owing

to client consolidation and increase in product approvals, leading to price

erosion in existing products to high single digit to low double digit.

Similarly, other issues/uncertainties in the US like pricing probe by the

Department of Justice (DoJ) and adapting to the bidding process are other

near term overhangs. Back home, domestic growth, post GST

implementation, has shown signs of a recovery. Despite a steep correction

in some stocks, the undercurrent remains cautious for the sector. However,

we expect the earnings momentum to normalise post H2FY19 on the back

of incremental product launches largely on speciality, biosimilar and

injectables front in the US besides normalising of Indian formulations

growth and recovery in emerging markets.
