The international anti-malarial institutional business has also contributed substantially to overall exports growth. Bottlenecks for the company on the US front were made good by strong traction in this business. US traction will, however, take more time than earlier estimated.

Offtake from the Indore SEZ for the US market has now been delayed, thus affecting the US visibility and overall company multiple. The hitherto safe institutional business has also faced shipment delays due to stringent testing requirements. Exposure to Russia has affected the offtake of its branded sales.

Revenues

Domestic formulations comprise 37% of total revenues. During FY10-15 this segment has grown at a CAGR of 13.6% backed by new launches and field force addition. However, the domestic performance has been volatile at times due to the significant presence of anti-malarials in the portfolio. Due to the seasonality of this therapeutic segment the overall performance has remained lumpy. Anti-malarials currently comprise ~20% of the domestic portfolio.

SWOT Analysis Strengths - Performance consistency, strong operating margins, healthy return ratios, comfortable leverage ratios, management transparency. Weakness - Late entrant in the US generics space. Anti-malarial space is lumpy in nature. Opportunities - Exports markets, incremental offtake from the Indore SEZ Threats - Increased USFDA scrutiny across the globe regarding cGMP issues and consolidation in the US pharmacy space. The company has received import alert for its Ratlam API facility, which is a core facility as it exports API to the US and also supplies to other formulations facility, which, in turn, supply formulations to the US. Recently the Indore SEZ and Silvassa facilities also received import alerts from the USFDA. The global anti-malarial institutional business has also come across detailed testing and witnessed order postponements.

Conference call highlights • The company has received WHO clearance confirmation for its

Ratlam Plant. It expects to receive WHO clearance certificate in few days and to commence dispatches for Institutional business from September after the completion of co-financing arrangements with the global funds

• Branded generic business was down ~50% YoY on account of 1) ~66% YoY drop in CIS region and 2) ~76% drop in West African business

• While the West African business is expected to normalise in Q2, the company does not expect growth in the CIS region owing to price cuts

• It expects ~| 70-80 crore of revenues in Q2FY16 and | 125-150 crore revenue run-rate for the subsequent quarters in FY16 from this business

• It expects to commence institutional injectable filings in the current fiscal year

• The company has already started shipment in the US for exempted products. Post Pithampur and Ratlam plants the company has also received USFDA approval for its Silvassa plant for these products

• The USFDA has exempted one more product (API) from its Ratlam plant

• Ratlam plant utilisation level is 50-60% • The company has postponed ANDA filings until facility clearance

from the USFDA. • Ipca expects just five to six annual products launches in the

domestic markets • Current domestic MR Strength of the company is 3800 MRs and

the company does not plan to increase that in the near term • The company has given 7-8% growth guidance for FY16

(including US Sales) with 18% margins. It has guided 12% domestic growth in FY16. Low domestic growth is expected due to the lumpy nature of anti-malarial business

• During the quarter, anti-malarial sales (~14% of overall sales) were down ~21% YoY

• The company has guided for 50-60% revenue growth in the Australian business and for 15-18% revenue growth in the European business in FY16

Valuation As expected, the Q1 result turned out to be a washout event with little signs of recovery in the form of WHO clearance and partial USFDA allowances. On the other hand, some fresh concerns in the nature domestic slowdown due to slow down in anti-malarials segment and marked slowdown in branded exports sales have emerged. Overall, back to back import alerts for three facilities besides observations from the WHO will, however, continue to act as a major stumbling block in the near term. The management has guided for 7-8% revenue growth and 18% EBITDA margins for FY16. We maintain our HOLD recommendation with TP of | 665 (16x FY17E EPS of | 41.5). Exhibit 10: One year forward PE
