Growth opportunities; premium valuations to persist
We are optimistic about the Indian healthcare sector, considering the abundant growth opportunities, greater profitability and return ratios, and strong free-cash-flow generation. We expect the companies we cover to report a 37% earnings CAGR over FY15-18, fuelled by strong (18%) revenue growth and an expansion of 400bps in the EBITDA margin.
Domestic formulations to grow steadily. We expect the domestic brand-named formulations business to grow at a steady 13-14% over FY15-18, in line with the past average. This would be driven by the higher share of chronic categories in lifestyle disorders, mounting per-capita income, rising share of medical spending in overall consumer spending, and volume growth.
US generics, a vast export opportunity. US generics is the largest opportunity for most pharma companies, considering its size and patent expiries worth $72bn in the next three years. Companies such as Alembic, Natco, Indoco, etc., have successfully filed for complex/differentiated generics as well as para-IV filings aimed at this opportunity.
APIs and CRAMS gaining traction. We believe that the companies focused on niche APIs and with strong DMF pipelines would report strong revenue growth. This would primarily be due to larger companies focusing more on formulations and marketing, and out-sourcing APIs. CRAMS would pick up, considering the strong DMF pipelines and existing MNC relationships.
Valuation. Considering the strong, 37%, CAGR in net profit over FY15-18, strengthening balance sheets with strong free-cash-flow generation and better return ratios (20%+), we expect the premium valuations in the sector to persist. We recommend Suven Life, Indoco Remedies and Neuland Labs as top picks. Risks: Regulatory hurdles and currency fluctuations.

India formulations The branded formulations business in India has a structurally
strong business model, a sustainable revenue stream from established brands, a growing population base, strong R&D capabilities and a high degree of profitability.
We expect the mid-teen revenue growth to continue, considering increasing urbanization leading to chronic diseases, greater awareness and rising healthcare spending.
Structurally strong business model
Expect mid-teen growth to continue
We expect the steady growth momentum in the Indian pharmaceutical market (domestic formulations) to continue, pushed up by the rising share of chronic categories in lifestyle disorders, mounting per-capita income, rising share of medical expenditure in consumer spending and volume growth. Overall, we expect revenue of the Indian pharmaceutical sector to register a 14% CAGR over CY14-18, to `1,178bn, in line with its past average (except CY13 which was hit by the implementation of the new drug-pricing policy). The key growth driver would be the increasing incidence of chronic diseases.

Increasing contribution of the chronic segment, the key driver
The contribution from chronic categories has been rising over the years due to the increasing incidence of lifestyle disorders and greater urbanisation. The past few years have seen a spiralling up of lifestyle-related disorders such as diabetes, asthma, obesity, a few types of cancer, and cardiovascular and gastro-intestinal diseases. Changing lifestyles have also led to a significant rise in cases of high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels. The share of chronic categories in the Indian pharma market revenue has stepped up from 27% in CY10 to 31% in CY14, and would continue upward, driven by the high growth.

The anti-diabetes market in India rose by a 22%+ CAGR over FY05-14, while the cardiac market increased at a 21% CAGR. We expect ~18% growth in both segments over the next 4-5 years, fuelled by a consistent rise in the number of patients because of increasing urbanisation, industrialisation and awareness.

The incidence of chronic diseases is rising alarmingly because of sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits in India. For pharmaceutical companies, chronic diseases provide a sustainable revenue stream and better operating margins than the acute categories. Apart from MNCs, Indian pharma companies such as Sun, Lupin, Torrent, Unichem and Ajanta obtain a significant portion of their sales from these segments. Further, companies like Indoco and Ipca are focusing largely on the chronic sub-segments to increase the proportion of revenue from these categories.
Lifestyle patterns in India are undergoing a sea change, leading to increased lifestyle-related issues such as obesity and stress, which in turn lead to cardiovascular disorders and diabetes. The anti-diabetic and cardiovascular markets are expected to grow at a significantly higher rate (+18%) than the average industry growth rate of ~14%.
Rising per-capita spend on pharmaceuticals
Per-capita expenditure on pharmaceutical products has more than doubled from $8 in CY08 to $19 in CY14, pushed up by increasing healthcare awareness, greater affordability and rising per-capita income in India. Industry estimates peg per-capita expenditure on drugs in India to increase to $27 by CY16.
Fig 8 – Mounting per-capita expenditure on pharmaceuticals
Source: Industry data, Anand Rathi Research
Chronic categories offer greater profitability
Lifestyle diseases imply sustainable sales and better profit margins than the acute segments. Further, drugs for lifestyle diseases are priced higher than those within the acute segments. The EBITDA margin of drugs for lifestyle disorders is 35-40%, against 15-20% in the acute segments. The major difference is in the gross margins; other cost items are relatively similar.

International business We believe that the international business would grow faster, as
in the past. Also, the companies have built the requisite infrastructure such as manufacturing plants with regulatory approvals, product pipelines and distribution networks.
The high growth would largely be driven by US generics (the largest growth opportunity); the EU and emerging markets would boost the growth momentum.
Exports growing faster
Expect a 16% revenue CAGR in exports
Industry data show exports of pharmaceutical products from India have registered a 19% CAGR over CY08-14 and are expected at a 16% CAGR over CY14-18. The growth would be powered largely by the US generics business on account of that country’s vast market. Also, patent expiries would drive exports from emerging markets, increase generics penetration and outsourcing opportunities. Over CY15-17, drugs worth ~$72bn are expected to go off-patent in the US, thus providing growth opportunities for generics players.

US generics, a vast opportunity
Industry reports pegged the US pharmaceutical market in CY14 at ~$368bn, with a 6% CAGR over CY14-17, aided by an ageing population, healthcare reforms and the focus on specialty drugs for complex ailments. In addition, the US was the top destination for pharma exports in FY14 with a 26.7% share of pharma exports from India, amounting to $4.02bn. The US generics market was ~$43.5bn in CY13, expected to see an 11% CAGR over CY13-18 according to industry reports. Generics growth would be largely driven by a huge number of patent expiries and increasing generics penetration.

Indian generics companies are set to harvest this opportunity considering the strong ANDA pipeline already in place, the focus on complex and differentiated product filings and the past successes in garnering a meaningful market share.
Fig 12 – Strong ANDA pipeline in place
Source: Company, Anand Rathi Research
The ANDA approval-process time has considerably lengthened in the past few years due to the huge backlog at the US FDA and increasing regulatory non-compliances. The average length for an ANDA approval has increased to more than four years now. However, with the introduction of GDUFA fees, the duration is expected to decline to 24-30 months. We believe that filing for differentiated products and complex generics would be the main growth and profitability driver in future due to less competition.

APIs and CRAMS gaining traction
Low cost and high quality to drive the API business
The world API market is expected to see a 6.5% CAGR over CY14-20, to $186bn, driven by patent expiries, a rise in outsourcing and demand for potent and bio-generic APIs. Intense competition in the global API business has led to most APIs being out-sourced to India and China, considering the low cost of manufacturing there. This clearly provides Indian API manufacturers a significant opportunity for growth.
India stands a better chance, considering the quality norms followed, visible from its having the second-highest number of US FDA-approved plants outside the US. Due to keen competition in generic APIs, companies with larger capacities, process efficiencies and a strong DMF (drug master file) pipeline with niche products (Granules, Neuland and Aarti) would be able to effectively compete.
The World Health Organization states that cancer has now become the prime cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a rising number of newly diagnosed cases and cancer-related deaths. Hence, oncology would be the fastest-growing category in the global API market. In addition, most of the oncology drugs contain highly-potent APIs, itself one of the fastest-growing sub-segments in APIs. Therefore, companies such as Natco and Dishman, which supply oncology APIs, would be better positioned to capture such an opportunity.
CRAMS business to grow well
The Indian CRAMS segment (valued at ~$9.3bn in CY14) is estimated to grow in the high teens (a 19-20% CAGR) over CY14-18, to $19bn, assisted by more outsourcing from developed countries in the West, the cost advantage and large capacities. Within CRAMS, we expect contract

manufacturing services (CMS) to see a 19% CAGR and contract research services (CRS) a 20% CAGR. CMS, at ~60%, would be a large proportion of CRAMS. The present share of Indian manufacturers in the global CRAMS segment is ~5% and is expected to rise to 7-8%, driven by higher growth.

India is one of the world’s best low-cost manufacturing centres, with the second-highest number of US FDA-approved plants outside the US. In addition, patented drugs worth $72bn in the US going off-patent and supportive government policies have aided in creating brand-recognition for the Indian pharma sector across the world. This would boost the business prospects of Indian CRAMS companies.

Valuation Premium valuations to sustain
Improved earnings visibility
The Indian pharmaceutical sector has been significantly re-rated in the past couple of years because of greater earnings assurance, consistently healthy growth, traction in the US product pipeline, strengthening balance sheets and a substantial rise in RoEs and RoCEs. We believe that the re-rated valuations would persist or may improve further as earnings assurance has improved, currency movements have been favourable for the sector and on our expectation of further improvements in balance sheets. The average PE (x) of the mid-cap pharma companies (our coverage universe) now stands at 24.1x FY16e and 20.4x FY17e earnings.

Aarti Drugs
High growth-momentum visibility; initiating, with a Buy
We initiate coverage on Aarti Drugs, with a Buy rating and a target price of `815, based on 14x FY18e earnings. We believe that the company is poised to accelerate its growth momentum over the next two years, driven by product launches, expanded capacity and market-share gains in existing products. We expect a strong, 22.2%, PAT CAGR over FY15-18, powered by steady revenue growth (high-teens) and an expansion of 85bps in the EBITDA margin.
API business, the key growth driver. APIs bring 85% to the company’s revenue and we expect this business to register a 17.3% CAGR over FY15-18 through market-share gains in existing products (metformin, metronidazole, fluoroquinolones, etc), the recently-added capacity and the launch of products. Segment-wise, anti-diabetics, antibiotics and anti-protozoals would drive most of the growth; together they contribute ~74% of API sales.
Formulations to pick up. The company now generates ~7% of revenue from formulations, that too, primarily from contract manufacturing. In order to boost this business, it recently acquired Pinnacle Life Sciences (with a formulations plant). We expect this business to register a 35% revenue CAGR over FY15-18, thereby bringing ~11% to revenue by FY18.
Better financials. We expect a strong 18.2% CAGR in revenue over FY15-18, with an expansion of 85bps in the EBITDA margin, aided by a better product-mix. This would lead to strong, 22.2%, profit CAGR, which would help strengthen the balance sheet by reducing leverage to 1x by FY18 (from 1.3x net debt-equity now) and by the better interest-coverage ratio, to 4.5x by FY18 (from 3.5x now).
Valuation. The stock trades at 13.6x FY17e and 10.6x FY18e earnings. We value it at `815, based on 14x FY18e earnings, in line with peer API companies. Risks: Delay in the ramp-up of the recently-added capacity and more-than-expected competition in generic APIs.

13 October 2015 Aarti Drugs - High growth-momentum visibility; initiating, with a Buy
Anand Rathi Research 18
API business, the prime growth driver Aarti Drugs is a high-quality API supplier to formulations
companies, domestically and internationally.
APIs constitute 85% of its revenue and we expect this business to record a 17.3% CAGR over FY15-18.
Growth would be driven by market-share gains in existing products (metformin, metronidazole, fluoroquinolones, etc), the recently-added capacity and the launch of products.
Business model
Because of its high-quality API supplies to formulations companies in domestic and overseas markets, Aarti leads the market in most of its top-10 products, enabling economies of scale. Its domestic clients comprise all major formulations companies: Cipla, Dr Reddy's, Cadila, Ranbaxy, Glaxo, Alembic, etc. It exports to more than 97 countries (exports constitute 35% of its revenue).
Well-established API player
A high degree of processing efficiency, a high standard of quality and large capacity have given it a good brand name in antibiotics, anti-diabetics, antifungals, anti-diarrhoeals, anti-inflammatories and anti-hypertensive therapeutic segments. The company has incurred capital expenditure to construct facilities for three antibiotic products (fluoroquinolones) and intermediates, and doubled the capacity of one of its major anti-protozoal products. Both these projects would be commercially operational by Q3 FY16.
Properly diversified product profile
Of Aarti’s API sales, 74% comes from anti-diabetics, antibiotics and antiprotozoals; the balance from anti-inflammatories, anti-fungals, cardio, etc. Of its products, the most revenue comes from ciprofloxacin (18%). The top-10 products together account for 60% of revenue. In all these products, the company leads in production, domestically and globally. The huge scale of operations, along with high market shares in each of these products, give the company an impressive EBITDA margin of around 15% despite being a mere API operator.

Diversified clientele
Aarti’s top-10 local clients contribute just 28% of its domestic revenues and the top-10 export clients contribute only 24.8% of export sales. Therefore, none of the customers contribute a significant portion of revenue, indicating a diversified customer base. There is no concentration risk.

The company has a diversified clientele: Cipla, J.B. Chemicals and Abbot are some of its major clients, contributing around 4% each to revenues. Others are MNCs: Abbott, Sanofi-Aventis, Merck, Teva, Searle, Pfizer, Bayer and Clariant.
API to see a 17.3% revenue CAGR over FY15-18
We expect the API business to register a 17.3% revenue CAGR over FY15-18, driven by market-share gains in existing products (metformin, metronidazole, fluoroquinolones, etc), the recently-added capacity and the launch of products. Segment-wise, anti-diabetics, antibiotics and antiprotozoals, which together bring in ~74% of API sales, would drive most of the growth.

Revenue Growth (RHS)
13 October 2015 Aarti Drugs - High growth-momentum visibility; initiating, with a Buy
Anand Rathi Research 21
Formulations to pick up Formulations currently contribute 7% of revenue, mainly from
contract manufacturing.
From formulations, we estimate a 35% revenue CAGR over FY15-18 to `2bn. Formulations would then (by FY18) make up ~11% of revenue. The company’s recently-acquired Pinnacle Life Sciences (together with a formulations plant) would boost this business.
Business currently at a nascent stage
The formulations business currently contributes very little revenue (~7%) to Aarti (consolidated), and such revenue has been flattish in the past three years due to lack of focus and capacity constraints. It has come down from 10% three years ago. Aarti has largely been conducting contract manufacturing of formulations for generics customers. In the absence of adequate capacity, this was difficult to scale up, and margins were lower because it had only a contract-manufacturing business.
Fig 14 – Flattish revenue in the past few years from the formulations business

Acquisition to boost the formulations business
Aarti recently acquired a small company (Pinnacle Life Sciences) for an insignificant amount along with a manufacturing unit. Prior to the acquisition, Aarti was largely engaged in contract manufacturing of formulations, which command very low margins. However, with this acquisition, it would be able to make formulations in-house in large quantities. This would boost revenue from the formulations business and offer better margins. We expect revenue from the formulations business to pick up from FY16 and to register a 35% CAGR over FY15-18 to `2bn.

Financials We expect Aarti Drugs to register an 18.2% revenue CAGR over
FY15-18, fuelled by healthy growth in its API business and a scaling up of its formulations business. Within API, anti-diabetics, antibiotics and anti-protozoals would drive most of the growth.
We estimate its adjusted PAT to record a strong 22.2% CAGR, driven by strong revenue growth and better margins over FY15-18.
Its balance sheet would also be strengthened by reducing leverage to 1x by FY18, from 1.3x debt-equity now, in our view.
18.2% revenue CAGR over FY15-18
Strong growth across segments (driven by the recently-added capacity and the launch of new products) lead us to estimate an 18.2% CAGR in consolidated revenue over FY15-18, to `18.1bn. This growth would be fuelled by a 17% CAGR in API revenue, 35% in formulations, 15% in intermediates and 10% in specialty chemicals.

EBITDA margin to be steady
We expect the EBITDA margin to be steady, in the range of 15.5% to 16.5% over FY15-18, with an 85-bp improvement over the same period; in absolute terms we expect EBITDA to register a 20.3% CAGR over FY15-18, led by the better product mix and greater capacity utilisation.

22.2% adjusted-net-profit CAGR
We expect a 22.2% CAGR in adjusted net profit over FY15-18, to `1.4bn, led by strong revenue growth and better EBITDA margins. The net profit margin is likely to improve 75bps over FY15-18, to 7.8%, fuelled by strong profit growth.

Improving return ratios
Considering the strong net-profit growth and stable margins in the next three years, we estimate the RoE and RoCE in FY18 to improve to 28.6% and 17.2%, respectively, from the current 27.6% and 15%.

Strengthening balance sheet
We expect Aarti’s balance sheet to be strengthened by shrunken leverage, to 1x by FY18, from the present 1.3x debt-equity, driven by strong bottom-line growth. We expect the interest-coverage ratio to improve to 4.5x in FY18, from 3.5x now.

Valuations Considering Aarti’s continuing strong growth momentum (a 22% PAT CAGR over FY15-18, a sturdy business model [an established API operator]), and improving RoEs and RoCEs, we are sanguine about its mid- to long-term prospects. We believe that it is poised to accelerate its growth momentum over the next two years, driven by product launches, expanded capacity and market-share gains in existing products.
The stock has experienced significant valuation re-rating in the recent past as the company has been consistently delivering strong growth along with margin expansion. Further, its formulations business is expected to scale up from FY16, fuelled by the recent acquisition, adding to the growth momentum, in our view.
At present, the stock trades at 13.6x FY17e and 10.6x FY18e earnings. We initiate coverage on Aarti Drugs, with a price target of `815 based on 14x FY18e earnings. Our target PE multiple is in line with the valuations of peer pharmaceutical companies, considering our expectations of the high-growth momentum, strong balance sheet, free-cash-flows and healthy return ratios.

Ajanta Pharma
Scaling up exports to drive growth; Buy
We expect Ajanta’s strong revenue and profit growth to continue, driven by its focus on fast-growing therapeutic segments domestically and the scaling-up of its brand-named generics in emerging markets. We maintain our Buy call, with a revised target price of `1,765.
Focus on domestic formulations. We expect growth to be driven by the management’s focus on high-growth therapies such as dermatology, cardiology and ophthalmology. These are growing faster than the pharma sector domestically. Also, in order to boost its growth momentum, the company is building a platform in a new disease category: pain management, specifically musculo-skeletals. Management intends to launch 4-5 products every quarter. We expect Ajanta to register a 20% revenue CAGR over FY15-18.
Scaling up on the export front. As huge opportunities open up in the next few years because of patent expiries of block-buster products, the company has begun focusing on the US and European markets for further growth. By Jan’16, management expects to launch three products, which have recently received ANDA approval. Africa and Asia are the most-focused-on regions for Ajanta and it has moved out of Latin America because of currency devaluations and payment terms.
Strong ANDA filing rate continues. Ajanta has 25 ANDA filings (expected market size: $1.5bn), including five approved products. Of these, one has been commercialised through a marketing tie-up with Breckenridge Pharmaceuticals. Management plans to launch four products shortly and to file six ANDAs every year.
Valuation. We roll forward our target price to FY18, with a revised target of `1,765 (earlier `1,454) based on 25x FY18e EPS. Risks: Currency fluctuations and delay in regulatory approvals.

13 October 2014
Alembic Pharmaceuticals
Strong US pipeline, but expensively valued; Sell
We believe that momentum would continue in Alembic’s US generics, driven by product approvals and restricted competition in generic Abilify in FY16. This would also continue in brand-named formulations domestically, powered by the specialty (chronic) categories. Current valuations, however, have already been factored in, we believe. Hence we maintain our Sell call, with a revised target price of `734.
Domestic brand-named business. Alembic Pharma has successfully transformed its domestic brand-named business (45% of sales) to the fast-growing specialty segments, which now bring in 63% of domestic branded formulations revenue (42% in FY11). This would help quicken the growth momentum and we expect a 15.8% revenue CAGR over FY15-18 in this segment, driven by the greater share from the specialty segments.
US generics to gain momentum. We believe that traction would continue in US generics, driven by product approvals and restricted competition in generic Abilify in FY16. The company’s cumulative ANDA filings numbered 68, of which 43 have been approved (incl. five tentatively), with 25 pending approval. The company expects to file 8-10 ANDAs yearly, two approvals every quarter and 6-8 product launches annually (two para-IVs).
Strong financials. We expect Alembic to register 21% revenue and 30.5% PAT CAGRs over FY15-18. Strong profitability growth would result in a high RoE and RoCE in FY18 at, respectively, 32.7% and 30%. The balance sheet would be net cash by FY18.
Valuation. The stock trades at expensive valuations of 24.4x FY17e and 21.8x FY18e earnings. The recent run-up in the price, capturing the potential from the Abilify launch in the US, has turned valuations expensive. Hence, we recommend a Sell, with a revised target of `734 (earlier `655) based on 22x FY18e earnings. Risks. Currency fluctuations and regulatory hurdles.

Dishman Pharma
On the path to recovery; initiating, with a Buy
We initiate coverage on Dishman Pharma, with a Buy and a target of `492 based on 14x FY18e earnings. We believe that the company, with strong bottom-line growth and reduced leverage, is on the verge of recovery. We expect a strong, 34%, CAGR in PAT over FY15-18, led by steady mid-teen revenue growth and an expansion of 620bps in the EBITDA margin. Commercial supplies to innovators for new molecules now under trials would see further potential from our estimates.
CRAMS business ready to take off. We expect a 14% revenue CAGR in CRAMS (70% of revenue) over FY15-18, largely driven by a ramp-up in supplies of oncology products from the hi-po plant and commercial supplies for product launches by innovators. This would lead to a 27% revenue CAGR from its India business (22% of CRAMS). Revenue from the Swiss subsidiary Carbogen Amcis (70% of CRAMS) would continue at a steady 10% CAGR, driven by volume growth and a better product-mix.
Marketable molecules to grow steadily. We expect a steady 10% revenue CAGR from marketable molecules over FY15-18, in line with the past growth trend. The growth would be led by stable business growth in the vitamin-D business and a ramp-up in supplies from the China plant.
On the verge of recovery. Dishman has been struggling with a slowdown in bottom-line growth in the past two years due to pressure on EBITDA margins and a higher interest burden. We believe that it is on the verge of recovery and expect a 34% PAT CAGR over FY15-18, fuelled by better margins and lower interest cost. Also, its balance sheet would improve, with net debt-equity coming down from 0.6x in FY15 to 0.2x in FY18, in our view.
Valuation. The stock trades at attractive valuations of 12.1x FY17e and 9.7x FY18e earnings. We value it at `492, based on 14x FY18e earnings, in line with its peers. Risks: Delay in the ramp-up of the high-potency plant and the capital-intensive nature of its business.

CRAMS business ready to take off Robust growth in supplies for contracts, off-take for new
contracts, and client additions would boost the company's CRAMS revenue, in our view.
We believe revenue from CRAMS, the key revenue driver and biggest contributor to revenue, would register a 14% CAGR over FY15-18, to `16bn. CRAMS revenue in FY18 is likely to account for 72% of consolidated revenue.
Within CRAMS, the business based in India would be the key driver, fuelled by a ramp-up in supplies of oncology products from the high-potency (hi-po) plant and by commercial supplies for product launches by innovators.
Business model
Dishman Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals is a leading CRAMS (contract research and manufacturing services) operator, catering to contract research and manufacturing services across the value chain, right from the development stage to commercial supplies on the successful launch of a product. The company has high earnings visibility from long-term contracts for supply of pharmaceutical ingredients and APIs.

CRAMS India nearing revival; hi-po plant to augur well for margins
From Dishman’s India plants, we expect a 27% CAGR in revenue over FY15-18, to `4.7bn. This would be driven by greater off-take for existing contracts, new supplies for fresh contracts and efficient utilisation of its hi-po plant. Revenue from this segment has declined over FY10-15; however, a revival has begun in Q1 FY16 with 14.4% yoy revenue growth to `668m and a 47.9% EBITDA margin, driven by process efficiencies and the greater share of commercial-production orders.

With its high-potency plant, Dishman would substantially expand operations in niche and high-end oncology APIs. We expect it to register a 46.2% revenue CAGR over FY15-18 and to generate `0.65bn, `1bn and `1.3bn in FY16, FY17 and FY18, respectively, driven by the ramp-up in supplies of oncology products and efficient utilisation at its hi-po plant. This plant is one of the largest manufacturing facilities for niche oncology APIs in Asia. We believe the contribution from this segment would result in a higher consolidated EBITDA margin.
Dishman has set up a large hi-po API manufacturing plant for niche oncology products at its export-oriented unit at Bavla, Ahmedabad. This demonstrates its unparalleled capability in scale-up, development and commercial manufacture of highly-potent compounds. The plant is being developed with full support from Carbogen Amcis, a Dishman group company, and is state-of-the-art in conceptual design and technological standards.
With the commissioning of the new plant, Dishman has four in this segment, three in Switzerland (under CA) and one at Bavla. All provide state-of-the-art containment services and operate to current good manufacturing practices (cGMP). They can produce material for pre-clinical testing, clinical trials and commercial use. These plants are designed based on a containment-concept, utilising the “split-butterfly valve” and barrier-isolation technology, as well as a strict-zone concept with pressure cascades, airlocks and access controls. This allows the safe handling of highly-potent compounds of all categories including cytostatics/cytotoxics. Dishman offers services starting from laboratory scale for process research and development purposes up to large-scale manufacturing on a 1,600-litre scale, including category-IV compounds (OEL <1μg/m³), the highest in the categorisation system.

Steady growth in Carbogen Amcis
The Dishman group offers unparalleled capability in scale-up development and commercial manufacture for highly-potent compounds. These highly-potent services are offered through the Carbogen Amcis business. Dishman had acquired Carbogen Amcis (CA), a Swiss research company, in August 2006 for $75m. This transformed its business model from a pure contract manufacturer to an integrated contract researcher and manufacturer. Carbogen Amcis manufactures highly-potent, high-value products.
Through this acquisition, Dishman obtained access to Carbogen’s contract research and contract manufacturing for innovative products. API contract research and contract manufacturing for innovative products is high-end CRO contracts and fetch higher revenue. Over FY10-15 the Carbogen Amcis unit registered a 16% revenue CAGR to `7.7bn; its contribution in Dishman’s overall CRAMS business has risen from 55.6% to 70.8% over the same period. In Q1 FY16 it reported 22.7% yoy revenue growth to `1.8bn and a 17.2% EBITDA margin, driven by greater profitability in the development orders (which accounted for 60% of order execution during the quarter).
Further, we expect a 10% revenue CAGR from Carbogen Amcis over FY15-18, driven by volume growth and a better product-mix. The growth rate looks lower than the past average growth due to the high base and the shift of commercial supplies to the hi-po plant in India.
Fig 11 – Carbogen Amcis’ growth momentum

Carbogen UK – nascent stage
This plant is engaged in research and customised synthesis for early-phase APIs and intermediates. The unit brought 7.8% to revenue in FY15. We expect it to register a 5% revenue CAGR over FY15-18.
Overall CRAMS business to see a 14% revenue CAGR
We estimate a 14% revenue CAGR from CRAMS to `16bn over FY15-18. The growth would be boosted by a 27% revenue CAGR from the India-based business (22% of CRAMS), aided by an increase in the number of products, more revenue from the hi-po plant (powered by efficient utilisation) and a 10% revenue CAGR in Carbogen Amcis (driven by volume growth and a better product-mix), in our view.

Marketable molecules The marketable molecules (MM) division includes quats
(quaternary compounds), specialty chemicals, intermediates & APIs and the vitamin-D business (acquired from Solvay).
We estimate a 10% revenue CAGR over FY15-18 from the MM division, to `6.3bn. Growth would be aided by stable business growth in its vitamin-D business and the supply ramp-up from its China plant.
Fig 13 – Marketable molecules – revenue break-up
Source: Company, Anand Rathi Research
MM include quats, specialty chemicals, intermediates & APIs, and the vitamin-D business. Quats are used as catalysts to transfer a reactant from one phase to another. Dishman develops and produces niche quats, which have specialised applications and command a high price; hence, they are not commodities. Such quats are applied as PTCs (chemical substances that improve process time and yield of chemical reactions) and are used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals, dyes, agrochemicals, paints, perfumery aldehydes and flavours, polymers, paper, etc.
Vitamin-D (Netherlands)
In 2007, Dishman acquired vitamin-D and the cholesterol and lanolin alcohols production plants in the Netherlands. The vitamin-D analogue is a high-value, high-potency product. This is a stable business and we expect it to clock a 10% revenue CAGR over FY15-18, driven by forward integration of the vitamin-D plant in India and China.

China plant turning profitable
Dishman has a manufacturing plant in the Shanghai Chemical Industrial Park, focusing on manufacturing pharmaceutical intermediates and APIs. From Q1 FY16 the China plant has turned profitable, contributing to EBITDA, bringing `116m in revenue with a nominal `3.3m profit. We expect revenue from the China plant to register a 25% CAGR over FY15-18 on the low base, driven by the ramp-up in capacity utilisation.
Expect a 10% revenue CAGR in overall MM
We estimate a 10% revenue CAGR in the MM division, to `6.3bn, driven by an increase in revenue from the vitamin-D business (`2.5bn, `2.7bn and `3bn in FY16, FY17 and FY18, respectively) and a 10% CAGR over FY15-18 from its other MM business (driven by the ramp-up in supplies from its China plant).

Financials We expect Dishman’s revenue to register at a steady 13% CAGR
over FY15-18, fuelled by its CRAMS and MM businesses. Within CRAMS, the business based in India would be the key growth driver, fuelled by a ramp-up in supplies of oncology products from its hi-po plant and by commercial supplies for (new) product launches by innovators.
We estimate adjusted PAT to record a strong, 34%, CAGR, driven by steady revenue growth, better margins and reduced interest cost over FY15-18.
Also, the balance sheet would improve, with debt-equity coming down from 0.6x in FY15 to 0.2x in FY18, in our view.
13% revenue CAGR over FY15-18
We expect a steady 13% CAGR in revenue, to `22.5bn, over FY15-18. The growth would be aided by a 14% revenue CAGR in CRAMS, and 10% in MMs. Within CRAMS, the business outside India would be the key driver; in MM, growth would be helped by stable growth in its vitamin-D business and by the ramp-up in supplies from the China plant.

Strong expansion in EBITDA margins
We expect the EBITDA margin to improve 620bps over FY15-18, to 26.1% by FY18. In absolute terms, we expect consolidated EBITDA to register a 23% CAGR over FY15-18, driven by higher growth in the high-margin CRAMS division and a better product-mix.

34% adjusted-net-profit CAGR
We expect a 34% CAGR in adjusted net profit over FY15-18, to `2.8bn, led by steady revenue growth, EBITDA-margin expansion and lower interest cost. The growth in net profit, we estimate, would be considerably more than that in revenue, largely because of lower interest costs.

Improving return ratios
We expect Dishman’s RoE and RoCE to strongly recover by FY18 to 16.7% and 14.6%, respectively (from the current 9.9% and 9.2%) as a result of the margin expansion and greater operating cash-flows used to retire debt, thereby improving profitability.

Reduction in leverage
We expect Dishman’s balance sheet to improve, with its debt-to-equity ratio coming down from 0.6x in FY15 to 0.2x in FY18, driven by the greater profitability and no major capex plans for the next two years. Interest coverage would also improve from the current level of 1.8x to 7.2x by FY18.

Valuation Considering the company’s persistent strong growth momentum (a 34% PAT CAGR over FY15-18, substantial improvement in free-cash-flow generation to `2.2bn in FY18), revival in business potential and improving RoEs and RoCEs, we are sanguine about its mid- to long-term prospects. The stock has experienced significant valuation re-rating in the recent past as the company has been delivering strong PAT growth and announced new API supply contracts. Further, visibility has increased about a sustainable revenue stream from FY16 driven by a ramp-up in supplies of oncology products from its high-potency plant and in commercial supplies for product launches by innovators.
At present, the stock trades at 12.2x FY17e and 9.8x FY18e earnings. We initiate coverage on Dishman Pharma, with a target price of `492, based on 14x FY18e earnings. Our target PE multiple is in line with the valuations of peer pharmaceuticals companies, considering the expectation of a high-growth momentum, a strong balance sheet, free-cash-flows and one of the best return ratios.

Fortis Healthcare
India focus to drive growth; Buy
We expect Fortis’ withdrawal from its international business and focus on its home market (India) to improve its profitability and cash flows. Hence, we maintain a Buy, with a revised target price of `230.
The hospitals business, the key driver. At present, Fortis has 54 healthcare facilities with 4,600 operational beds, and the potential to raise that to ~10,000. During FY15 both the Fortis start-up facilities (FMRI Gurgaon and Fortis Ludhiana) experienced robust growth and better operating profitability. The hospitals business would be the key growth driver, and we expect a 16.5% revenue CAGR over FY15-18, driven by an increase in the number of beds (~400 annually) and a steady (~10%) rise in average revenue per operating bed (ARPOB).
The diagnostics business. Fortis has 12 reference labs, 266 network labs and more than 6,500 collection points. We expect its diagnostics business to continue to grow steadily and report a 15% revenue CAGR over FY15-18 to `10.9bn, fuelled by the greater capacity utilisation and the rising number of collection centres and reference labs.
Better financials. We expect strong improvement in the EBITDA margin and cash flows considering the company’s re-focus on India (a high-margin business) and no major capex planned in the near to mid-term. No project planned for the next three years would result in increasing maturing of beds, thereby expanding margins and return ratios.
Valuation. Considering the better profitability and no major capex over the next three years, we recommend a Buy, with a target of `230 based on 16x one-year-forward EBITDA. Further value unlocking in the SRL subsidiary (its diagnostics business) through an IPO or other means could provide the added potential. Risks: Keener competition in the cities where Fortis is present and the capital-intensive nature of the business.

Granules India
Margin improvement to continue; Buy
We have a positive outlook on Granules India, considering its robust revenue growth and improving margin. It has successfully transformed its business model towards a high-margin business-mix by ramping up its formulations business. Hence, we maintain our Buy call, with a revised target price of `183.
Finished dosages, the key driver. Greater emphasis on finished dosages would add to the good growth momentum. Management plans to file 3-4 ANDAs in FY16 and ten more in the next two years, chiefly in the OTC segment (coughs & colds, and analgesics), hepatitis and anti-diabetics. We expect the finished-dosage sub-segment to register a 23.3% revenue CAGR over FY15-18.
Greater profitability. We believe a significant turnaround in the business model (toward a higher value chain), capacity expansion, greater capacity utilisation, a favourable product-mix, revenue growth of the Auctus division and contribution from the Omnichem JV would raise profitability. This, coupled with the greater emphasis on finished dosages, would add to the good growth momentum.
Strong financials. We expect Granules to register 18.5% revenue and 36.6% PAT CAGRs over FY15-18. Strong profitability growth would result in a high RoE and RoCE in FY18 at, respectively, 22.7% and 19.3%. With the debt-equity ratio coming down from 0.9x in FY15 to 0.1x in FY18, the balance sheet would also improve.
Valuation. The stock quotes at 20.9x FY17e and 15.7x FY18e earnings. Considering the robust revenue growth and better margin, we recommend a Buy, with a target price of `183 based on 18x FY18e earnings (earlier `130 based on 16x FY17e earnings) as we roll forward our target price to FY18. Risks: Currency fluctuations and regulatory hurdles.

Indoco Remedies
Momentum to continue; Buy
We expect Indoco to report strong revenue and greater profitability, driven by recovery in its domestic formulations business together with commencement of supplies to Watson. We maintain a Buy on the stock, with a revised target price of `423.
Recovery in domestic formulations. Management believes that domestic-formulations growth would recover from Q2 FY16, and expects to launch 20 products annually in the home market. This would maintain the growth momentum in domestic formulations, which command higher margins. We expect this business to register a 15% revenue CAGR over FY15-18, fuelled by product launches, brand-building and the focus on the chronics segment.
Watson deal. Commencement of supplies to Watson for two approved products for the US market would rise gradually and we expect two more significant approvals by Dec’15. The company has received repeat orders and management expects `30m-`40m dispatch value every quarter. Teva has taken the entire generics portfolio of Watson and this should have a positive impact as Teva is a much stronger operator in the US market.
Regulatory filings. ANDA filings would be the key mid-term focus area; the company expects to file about 20 ANDAs in the next two years mainly in anti-diabetics, CVS and neurology. Also, it expects to file six ANDAs from Watson’s portfolio in the next two quarters. Further, to ensure future growth momentum, it is working on injectable products for regulated markets in partnership with local operators.
Valuation. The stock trades at attractive valuations of 17.5x FY17e and 13.9x FY18e earnings. We recommend a Buy, and roll forward our target of `423 to FY18 (earlier `416) based on 18x FY18e earnings considering the company’s strong revenue growth and better margin. Risks: Currency fluctuations, delay in supplies to Watson due to delay in product approvals.

IPCA Laboratories
US FDA woes persist; Hold
We expect IPCA to report strong CAGRs over FY15-18, of 14.9% in revenue and 32.5% in PAT, driven by formulations both domestically and for export. The “import alert”, however, would strike at growth. Hence, we maintain our Hold call, with a revised target price of `834.
Domestic formulations. Ipca’s domestic formulations bring 37% to its revenue. During FY10-15, this segment ran at a 13.6% CAGR. We expect domestic formulations to register a 13.3% CAGR over FY15-18, driven by product launches and strong brand building with the company’s focus on promotional activity.
Export formulations, the key growth catalyst. With an 18.8% revenue CAGR over FY15-18, export formulations would be the key growth driver. It would be driven by anti-malarial tenders in Africa, geographical expansion in countries covered, thrust on brand building in the pain, CVS, CNS, anti-infective and anti-malarial segments, and product launches.
Healthy financials. We expect Ipca to register 14.9% revenue and 32.5% PAT CAGRs over FY15-18. Strong profit growth would result in high RoE and RoCE in FY18 at, respectively, 18.8% and 17.9%, in our view. The return ratios have fallen in the past year due to the impact of the import alerts from the US FDA on Ipca’s plants.
Valuation. Concerns regarding Form 483 issued against the company’s API plant (at Ratlam), the subsequent halt to its US sales and the recent import alert (on the Ratlam facility) have cut into its growth. The stock trades at 19.3x FY17e and 15.6x FY18e earnings. We retain our Hold call, and roll forward our target price to FY18, with a revised target of `834 based on 18x FY18e earnings (earlier `737). Risks: Currency fluctuations, delay in resolution of the US FDA import alerts.

Change in Estimates Target Reco
13 October 2015
Natco Pharma
US generics to drive high growth; Buy
We maintain a Buy on Natco Pharma, with a target price of `2,912. We expect its niche product opportunities to take off in FY16-17, including in Copaxone, Sovaldi, Tracleer, Tamiflu, Vidaza, etc. This would lead to strong revenue and earnings.
US generics to be ramped up. We believe launches of complex products such as generic versions of Copaxone, Tracleer, Vizada, Entocort, etc., would boost its US generics business. With the successful launch of Tamiflu (FTF) providing it the further fillip, we expect $97m revenue by FY18 (from $17m in FY15). The company has built up a strong pipeline for the US market, chiefly comprising FTFs (first-to-file), para-IVs, complex para-III filings and the less-competitive oncology products.
Sovaldi launch to give a fillip to RoW formulations. The Sovaldi launch could be the catalyst to Natco’s RoW business. Natco has already secured approval to launch the drug in Nepal (among the first approvals in the RoW market) and it expects to secure approvals across multiple major RoW markets over the next few quarters. We expect RoW formulations to register a 62% CAGR over FY15-18, to `1bn.
Sovaldi, an interesting opportunity for domestic formulations. Natco is one of the companies to obtain a license from Gilead (the innovator) to launch Sovaldi in India. We believe that this is a significant opportunity for the company, considering its early-mover advantage. We expect its domestic formulations revenue to register a 21% CAGR over FY15-18.
Valuation. We maintain Buy on the stock with a revised target price of `2,912 (earlier `3,054) based on 20x FY18e base business earnings and `369 per share for Para IV pipeline (Revlimid, Tamiflu, Tykerb and Fosrenol). Risks: Currency fluctuations, delay in approval of para-IV products.

Initiating CoverageIndia I Equities
13 October 2015
Neuland Labs
Niche API play, with turnaround potential; initiating, with a Buy
We initiate coverage on Neuland Labs with a Buy rating and target price of `1,241, based on 16x FY18e earnings. We are positive about the company due to its pipeline of niche APIs, better revenue mix and the potential of a significant turnaround from the past four stagnant years. The ramp-up in its customised-manufacturing-solutions business for supplies to innovators would improve profitability.
Niche API play. Of Neuland’s revenue, 85% comes from its API business; the key APIs currently sold are ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, mirtazapine, levetiracetam and entacapone. We expect revenue in this business to register a 14.7% CAGR over FY15-18 driven by the launch of products such as aripiprazole, propofol, salmeterol, etc., which may turn out to be huge revenue opportunities. Upon generic approval, the company has already entered into contracts with customers for supplies.
CMS business to ramp up, with greater profitability. The CMS business brings ~15% to revenue and includes supplies for molecules under clinical trials and commercial supplies to mid-size pharma companies in the US and EU. We expect this business to ramp up with a high 44% CAGR over FY15-18, fuelled by an increase in commercial supplies and additional revenue from the partnership with Mitsubishi API Corp.
Better financials. We expect Neuland to register 22% revenue and 63% PAT CAGRs over FY15-18, with margins improving 360bps to 17%. The high profitability would help reduce debt-equity to 0.7x by FY18 (from 1.1x now). We expect the RoE and RoCE to improve to 25.9% and 18%, respectively, by FY18 from 11.2% and 10.5% currently.
Valuation. The stock trades at compelling valuations of 14.8x FY17e and 10.8x FY18e earnings. We value it at `1,241, based on 16x FY18e earnings. Risks. Delay in launch of (new) products and keener-than-expected competition in niche APIs.

13 October 2015 Neuland Labs - Niche API play, with turnaround potential; initiating, with a Buy
Anand Rathi Research 63
Niche API play Neuland’s business and operational expertise for over 30 years
since inception has been the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
The company generates 85% of its revenue from its API business, with the key APIs currently sold being ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, mirtazapine, levetiracetam, entacapone, etc.
We expect revenue from the API business to register a 14.7% CAGR over FY15-18, fuelled by the launch of products such as aripiprazole, propofol and salmeterol.
Business model
Neuland is strong in the API segment. For more than 30 years its core business and operational expertise has been the manufacturing and marketing of APIs. It caters to diverse therapeutic categories: ophthalmics, schizophrenia, vasodilators, fluoroquinolones, iron-chelators, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, cardiovasculars, the central nervous system, anti-infectives, anti-depressants, anti-asthmatics, anti-fungals, anti-ulcerants and anti-spasmodics. It has more than 75 products, with 650 DMFs globally, to meet customer needs in many therapeutic areas. In addition to APIs, it has a customised-manufacturing-solutions business where it supplies for innovative products during trials and commercialisation.
Established API player
Today Neuland has nearly 40 commercial products sold to around 450 generics and innovator companies in 70 countries, primarily in the highly regulated markets of Europe, North America and Japan. It has become a preferred and reliable source for leading pharmaceutical companies worldwide. This is primarily due to consistency in product quality, knowledge and ability to deal with niche chemistries, and on-time delivery performance. Its key molecules are ciprofloxacin, salmeterol, mirtazapine, enalapril maleate, sotalol hcl, levetiracetam, entacapone, levofloxacin, and several NCE molecules.
Its strong pipeline of niche APIs would ensure strong growth
momentum in mid- to long term

Diversified customer and product basket
The company has a diversified customer and product basket, with no major concentration risk. The share of revenue from ciprofloxacin (the largest) has been coming down over the years and now accounts for ~15% of revenue. We expect this to go down further to 12.7% by FY18. Further, the top-five products bring 47% to revenue and the top-five customers, 43%. Hence, concentration risk is insignificant.

‘Low-value, high-volume’ mix to a ‘high-value’-product mix
One of Neuland’s key molecules, ciprofloxacin (high-volume, low-margin) brings 25% to its API revenue, the rest arises from the non-cipro category. Ahead, the company’s strategy is to tilt the business mix from ‘low-value, high-volume’ to ‘high-value’ products and aims to add 10-12 products every year. We expect APIs (excluding ciprofloxacin) to register an 18.3% revenue CAGR over FY15-18, powered by product launches. The ciprofloxacin business is expected to be flattish as the focus is largely on high-value, low-volume products.
Further, the company expects the number of products with an over-20% market share to triple from six in FY15 to 18 in FY18. The number of products with an over-40% market share would increase from three in FY15 to nine by FY18. This clearly indicates the vast potential of products in the pipeline, which would then accelerate the revenue growth momentum. The number of products with a revenue size of over `200m for Neuland is also expected to double from four currently to eight by FY18.

API business revenue to record a 14.7% CAGR
Overall, we expect revenue in the API business to record a 14.7% CAGR over FY15-18, driven by the launch of products, such as aripiprazole, propofol, salmeterol, etc., which may turn out to be enormous revenue opportunities. Upon generic approvals, the company has entered into contracts with customers for supplies, and is moving up the value scale in the APIs it manufactures.

CMS business to ramp up The CMS business brings ~15% to revenue and includes
supplies for molecules in clinical trials and commercial supplies to mid-size pharma companies in the US and the EU.
We expect this business to ramp up, with a high (44%) CAGR over FY15-18, fuelled by an increase in commercial supplies and additional revenue from the partnership with Mitsubishi API Corp.
Scaling up the CMS business
Neuland provides customized manufacturing solutions (CMS) to develop and manufacture pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates in line with customers’ expectations. This serves the pharmaceutical sector and provides clients with comprehensive services—from drug development to manufacturing. The CMS business includes:
Manufacturing APIs to customer specifications
Designing and developing manufacturing processes
Process optimisation for competitiveness
Filing of DMFs/CMCs for the APIs
Patent protection for the processes
Neuland’s customers are large MNCs, mid-sized pharmaceutical companies, standalone research organizations as well as large generics companies. At present, the company is working with more than 20 companies worldwide. It offers both small-scale clinical-trial quantities and commercial-scale requirements. It supports customers with commercially viable and scalable API processes for life-cycle management, involving second-generation processes. We expect revenue from the existing base CMS business to register a 15% CAGR over FY15-18, driven by the ramp-up in supplies of existing products and possible commercialisation of products in clinical trials.

Mitsubishi API Corp., which produces APIs, intermediates and investigational new drugs, along with fine chemicals and reagents. Neuland also intends to continue to independently expand its already-sizeable business in Japan, building on its significant customer base for both generic API manufacturing and customised manufacturing of APIs and intermediates. This collaboration with Mitsubishi API Corp. has already been valuable in increasing the understanding of the unique requirements of the Japanese market.
During FY15, the company successfully commissioned a new block to manufacture APIs in collaboration with APIC (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemicals, Japan). Management foresees potential in Japan and this collaboration paves the way for a strong foothold there. We expect revenue from this partnership to come at `500m in FY17 and `1bn in FY18.
CMS business revenue to record a strong 44% CAGR
At present, the CMS (a margin-accretive) business brings ~15% (`697m) to revenue. Management expects to increase this to 30% of revenue in the next three years. The partnership with Mitsubishi API Corp. is a step in that direction. During Q1 FY16 the company filed an NDA of one of its products in the CMS portfolio, thus paving the way to the US markets.
We expect the contribution from the high-volume segment to be gradually replaced with the CMS segment and to register healthy revenue growth of 44% over FY15-18, fuelled by an increase in commercial supplies and additional revenue from the partnership with Mitsubishi API Corp.

Financials We expect Neuland to register a 22% revenue CAGR over FY15-
18, fuelled by its pipeline of niche APIs, a better revenue mix and the potential of a significant turnaround from the past four years of stagnancy.
We estimate its adjusted PAT to record a strong 64% CAGR, driven by robust revenue and a healthy margin over FY15-18.
We expect that, with higher PAT growth, its balance sheet would improve, which could result in lower leverage and a better RoE and RoCE.
A 22% revenue CAGR over FY15-18
We expect Neuland to register a 22% CAGR in revenue, to `8.3bn, over FY15-18. The growth is likely to be driven by a margin-accretive portfolio, namely high-value APIs (through the launch of products, which would turn out to be vast revenue opportunities). Its CMS business would, similarly, register healthy revenue growth, driven by an increase in commercial supplies and additional revenue from its partnership with Mitsubishi API Corp, in our view.

EBITDA margin to be strong
We expect the EBITDA margin to improve 360bps over FY15-18 and come strong at 17%; in absolute terms we expect EBITDA to register a 31.3% CAGR over FY15-18, powered by strong revenue growth in both its APIs and CMS businesses.

A 64% adjusted-net-profit CAGR
We expect a 64% CAGR in adjusted net profit over FY15-18, to `695m, boosted by strong revenue growth and a healthy EBITDA margin. The growth in net profit, we estimate, would be considerably more than that in revenue, largely because of no major increase in the depreciation charge.

Strong balance sheet
Net debt-to-equity has fallen from 2.7x in FY11 to 1.1x in FY15, and is likely to further slip to 0.7x by FY18, in our view, given the 64% PAT CAGR expected over FY15-17 and the generation of free-cash-flows, thus strengthening the balance sheet. We expect the interest-coverage ratio to improve to 4.3x in FY18, from 1.7x now.

Valuation Considering Neuland’s persistent strong growth momentum (a 64% PAT CAGR over FY15-18), a sturdy business model (healthy pipeline of niche APIs, better revenue mix and the potential of a significant turnaround from the past four stagnant years), and improving RoEs and RoCEs, we are sanguine about its mid- to long-term prospects.
The stock has experienced a significant re-rating in the recent past as the company has been consistently delivering strong growth along with margin expansion. Further, we expect revenue to scale up from FY16, adding to the growth momentum. The ramp-up in the CMS- (customised manufacturing solutions) business for supplies to innovators would improve profitability. At present, the stock trades at 14.8x FY17e and 10.8x FY18e earnings. We initiate coverage on Neuland Labs, with a price target of `1,241 based on 16x FY18e earnings. Our target PE multiple is in line with the valuations of peer pharmaceuticals companies considering the company’s high growth momentum, strong balance sheet and margin expansion.

Suven Life Sciences
Niche CRAMS and R&D play, Buy
We maintain a Buy on Suven Life Sciences, with a revised target price of `370. We expect its core CRAMS business to do well; besides, the successful completion of trials for SUVN 502 would lead to monetisation of this molecule, providing added potential.
Core CRAMS, a growth driver. Suven’s performance would be driven by its core CRAMS business: more projects, further supplies for molecules in phase II trials. At present, it has 57 in phase I, 53 in phase II and one in phase III. Another molecule, 302, is expected to enter phase II by FY17. We expect its core CRAMS business to register a 16.6% revenue CAGR over FY15-18.
SUVN 502, a lead molecule. For SUVN 502, patient trials with 537 patients will start this month (Oct). This would take 18-20 months to complete and management expects them to be over by FY17. The successful completion of the trials would lead to monetisation of this molecule, providing the further potential.
Specialty chemicals. The Vizag plant will start contributing to specialty chemicals revenue from Q2 FY16. This would enhance the growth momentum in this segment. We expect the specialty chemicals business to register a 12% revenue CAGR over FY15-18.
Financials. We expect revenue and PAT CAGRs over FY15-18 of 17.3% and 24.6%, respectively, along with an improvement of 300bps in the EBITDA margin, to 33.6%. Excluding innovative R&D, the margin could come at 42.5% in FY18.
Valuation. We value the lead molecule SUVN 502 at `47 a share. Our target price of `370 (earlier `336) is based on 16x FY18e base business earnings and the net value of `47 a share for the NCE pipeline. Risks: Delay in repeat orders for commercialised products, failure in innovative R&D.

Torrent Pharmaceuticals
Traction ahead; Hold
Considering the fair valuations, we retain our Hold rating on Torrent, with a revised target price of `1,698. We expect its strong revenue and profit growth to continue, driven by the Elder integration and product launches in the US.
Elder integration to drive growth. Integration of Elder’s product range in the domestic market would drive Torrent’s domestic formulations business. The focus on brand building (two brands at present, with more than `1bn revenue; management expects eight such brands by FY19) and portfolio realignment for synergies would boost growth ahead. We expect this segment to register a 16.8% revenue CAGR over FY15-18.
The US, the key growth driver. We believe that, ahead, the US would be the key growth driver, boosted by approvals of products in coming quarters, product launches in the US market and the contribution from Abilify. Torrent has 53 ANDA approvals, 19 pending approvals and 44 products being developed. Management expects 18-20 products a year. Acquisition of Zyg Pharma would boost its operations in dermatology, especially in the US, following the FDA-approved plant, though meaningful revenue contribution would start in the next 3‐4 years
Healthy financials. We expect Torrent to register 16% revenue and 24% PAT CAGRs over FY15-18. Strong profitability growth would result in high RoE and RoCE in FY18 at, respectively, 30% and 19.6%. Also, the balance sheet would be net cash by FY18.
Valuation. The stock trades at fair valuations of 20.7x FY17e and 18x FY18e earnings. We recommend a Hold rating, with a revised target price of `1,698 (earlier `1,474) based on 20x FY18e EPS, as we roll forward our target price to FY18. Risks: Keener-than-anticipated competition in generic Abilify, regulatory hurdles.

Unichem Laboratories
Strong recovery now in place; Buy
We are sanguine about Unichem Laboratories’ long-term growth story, and retain our Buy on the stock, with a revised target of `373. With a strong recovery now in place, we believe its domestic formulations business would improve. The higher margins would be aided by the increasing share of domestic brand-named formulations and US generics. This should result in a 41% adj. PAT CAGR over FY15-18.
Domestic formulations recovering. The domestic formulations business has begun showing positive traction, driven by all three clusters: CVD, CND and acute. With the strong recovery now in place, we believe the company’s domestic-formulations business would improve. We expect a 14% revenue CAGR in its domestic-formulations business over FY15-18, driven by volume growth and product launches.
Brand-building. Unichem’s top-10 brands (Losar H, Ampoxin, Unienzyme, Losar, Vizylac, Trika, Serta, Telsar, Unistar and Telsar-H) give rise to ~48% of its domestic revenue. Four—Losar H, Ampoxin, Unienzyme and Losar—are in the top-300.
Strong US sales to boost revenue. Unichem is looking for traction in US generics. It has filed 34 ANDAs with the US FDA and received approval for 18. It has so far launched 12 products. We expect its export formulations to maintain the growth tempo, with a 21% revenue CAGR over FY15-18 consequent on further US filings and subsequent launches.
Valuation. The stock trades at 16.2x FY17e and 13.2x FY18e earnings. We roll forward our target price to FY18 and maintain a Buy with a long-term perspective, with a revised target price of `373 (earlier `280) based on 16x FY18e). Risks: Currency fluctuations and regulatory hurdles.

Vivimed Labs
Focus on improving profitability, balance sheet; Buy
In pharmaceuticals, Vivimed’s growth would be driven by its focus on tilting the product mix toward higher-margin products and the new product-development pipeline for APIs and FDFs. Further, the company has announced sale of part of its specialty chemicals business to Clariant Chemicals, for `3.8bn. This would provide the further potential by improving the balance sheet and lowering interest cost. We have not factored this sale into our estimates. We maintain a Buy on the stock, with a target of `654. US generics to drive formulations. Supplies of US generics would also drive the formulations business. The company has two product approvals from the US FDA already in place for losartan and donepezil. In addition, it expects to file 6-8 ANDAs every year on its own in order to broaden its product range. We expect the US generic-formulations business to generate revenue of $12m, $21m and $24m in FY16, FY17 and FY18, respectively.
Steady growth to continue in specialty chemicals. The company has built a strong franchise in specialty chemicals across the personal-care, home-care and industrial segments. Its customers are large multinationals such as Unilever, P&G and L’Oreal. We expect it to register an 11.5% revenue CAGR over FY15-18.
Improving financials. We expect Vivimed to register CAGRs over FY15-18 of 13% in revenue and 22.5% in PAT. Strong profitability growth could lead to better RoE and RoCE from the current 12.9% and 8.4%, respectively, to 16.7% and 11.4% by FY18, in our view. Leverage could also decrease, with debt-equity falling to 1x by FY18, from 1.8x now.
Valuation. We roll forward our target price to FY18, and maintain our Buy on the stock, with a target price of `654 based on 8x FY18e EPS (earlier `600). Risks: Delay in regulatory approvals, currency fluctuations.
