ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research September 22, 2017 Monthly Update Divi’s rallies on early resolution hopes… In an unprecedented development, the USFDA has initiated post-import alert plant inspection for Divi’s Laboratories’ Vizag API plant (unit-II) within just six months. Note that the agency had issued import alert in the month of March 2017 after its inspection at the fag end of 2016. Post the inspection; the plant received an import alert from the USFDA. In a normal course the USFDA post-import alert plant inspection takes place only after a gap of 15-18 months as was the case with Aurobindo and Ipca. The USFDA in its latest inspection has issued fresh six form 483 observations. But hopes for earlier resolution of import alert as well as warning letter has lifted the investors sentiments in the stock. The management has maintained that the new observations are procedural in nature and the earlier five observations have been resolved. Vizag unit II accounts for 60-65% of overall sales of which US accounts for 30-32% of the pie. The management had earlier indicated that the total impact of the import alert was just 3-4% of total sales. However, the main apprehension at the time of import alert was the threat of loosing clients from custom synthesis business. On the regulatory front, Cadila’s Ahmedabad manufacturing facility has received Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) from the USFDA for audit conducted from January 16 to January 24, 2017. Biocon’s Malaysia plant has been issued Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Compliance status for its Insulin manufacturing facility by the HPRA (Ireland) as the representative European inspection authority. . In another development, the USFDA has give three months extension to Biocon to take a call on application of its biosimilar drug Trastuzumab, in order to review some additional information submitted to them as a part of the application review process. The original target action date was September 3, 2017. On the domestic front, The Drug Controller General of India (DGCI) is planning surprise checks of accredited drug and cosmetic testing laboratories, to ensure GMP compliance. Secondly, the Government of India is planning to open 49 cancer centres in India at an estimated cost of | 3495 crore, in 3 years. Finally, the Indian pharmaceutical market (IPM) witnessed slight recovery in the month of August amid GST implementation. The market) grew 2.4% YoY to | 10317 crore in August. After a long hiatus buying resumes in beaten down Pharma stocks In the last few days most of the beaten down Pharma stocks have rallied anywhere between 20 to 50%. Except in the case of Divi’s Labs, the rally is mainly been driven by bottom fishing. Sharp surge in market liquidity as well as rally in most of the non-pharma sectors has brought back Pharma’s status of being defensive to some extent. However, the situation on the earnings front remains challenging despite improvement in USFDA approval momentum and clearance for some facilities as the headwinds of intense competition in existing products and client consolidation in the US remain strong. Back home the domestic growth, post GST implementation, has shown a sign of recovery albeit slowly. Hopes are also being built on FY20 earnings as FY18 and in some cases FY19 slowdown being more or less in the price. We expect the earnings momentum to normalise (albeit slowly) on the back of incremental product launches largely on speciality front in the US besides normalising of Indian formulations growth and recovery in emerging markets.

Monthly Update

Divi’s rallies on early resolution hopes…

In an unprecedented development, the USFDA has initiated post-import

alert plant inspection for Divi’s Laboratories’ Vizag API plant (unit-II) within

just six months. Note that the agency had issued import alert in the month

of March 2017 after its inspection at the fag end of 2016. Post the

inspection; the plant received an import alert from the USFDA. In a normal

course the USFDA post-import alert plant inspection takes place only after a

gap of 15-18 months as was the case with Aurobindo and Ipca. The USFDA

in its latest inspection has issued fresh six form 483 observations. But hopes

for earlier resolution of import alert as well as warning letter has lifted the

investors sentiments in the stock. The management has maintained that the

new observations are procedural in nature and the earlier five observations

have been resolved. Vizag unit II accounts for 60-65% of overall sales of

which US accounts for 30-32% of the pie. The management had earlier

indicated that the total impact of the import alert was just 3-4% of total

sales. However, the main apprehension at the time of import alert was the

threat of loosing clients from custom synthesis business.

On the regulatory front, Cadila’s Ahmedabad manufacturing facility has

received Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) from the USFDA for audit

conducted from January 16 to January 24, 2017. Biocon’s Malaysia plant

has been issued Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Compliance status for

its Insulin manufacturing facility by the HPRA (Ireland) as the representative

European inspection authority. .

In another development, the USFDA has give three months extension to

Biocon to take a call on application of its biosimilar drug Trastuzumab, in

order to review some additional information submitted to them as a part of

the application review process. The original target action date was

September 3, 2017.

On the domestic front, The Drug Controller General of India (DGCI) is

planning surprise checks of accredited drug and cosmetic testing

laboratories, to ensure GMP compliance. Secondly, the Government of India

is planning to open 49 cancer centres in India at an estimated cost of | 3495

crore, in 3 years.

Finally, the Indian pharmaceutical market (IPM) witnessed slight recovery in

the month of August amid GST implementation. The market) grew 2.4%

YoY to | 10317 crore in August.

After a long hiatus buying resumes in beaten down Pharma stocks

In the last few days most of the beaten down Pharma stocks have rallied

anywhere between 20 to 50%. Except in the case of Divi’s Labs, the rally is

mainly been driven by bottom fishing. Sharp surge in market liquidity as

well as rally in most of the non-pharma sectors has brought back Pharma’s

status of being defensive to some extent. However, the situation on the

earnings front remains challenging despite improvement in USFDA

approval momentum and clearance for some facilities as the headwinds of

intense competition in existing products and client consolidation in the US

remain strong. Back home the domestic growth, post GST implementation,

has shown a sign of recovery albeit slowly. Hopes are also being built on

FY20 earnings as FY18 and in some cases FY19 slowdown being more or

less in the price. We expect the earnings momentum to normalise (albeit

slowly) on the back of incremental product launches largely on speciality

front in the US besides normalising of Indian formulations growth and

recovery in emerging markets.
