Result Update

Numbers tumble beyond comprehension…

Revenues declined 7% YoY to | 7137 crore (I-direct estimate: | 8065

crore). US declined fell 37% YoY to | 2477 crore (I-direct estimate:

| 3690 crore) mainly due to challenging generic pricing environment.

Domestic sales grew 10% YoY to | 1916 crore (I-direct estimate:

| 1987 crore)

EBITDA margins declined 800 bps YoY to 21.7% vs. I-direct estimate

of 29.5%. EBITDA declined 32% YoY to | 1545 crore (I-direct

estimate: | 2381 crore). Taro Pharma’s EBITDA margins declined to

53.7% from 69.8% in Q4FY16

Net profit declined 17% YoY to | 1183 crore (I-direct estimate: | 1515

crore) mainly due to lower than expected operational performance

US business key lever for growth but new challenges emerge

The US business, which constitutes ~45% of turnover, has grown at 10%

CAGR in FY12-17, on the back of successful acquisitions like Caraco, Taro,

Dusa, URL and timely product launches (gGleevec, gBenicar AG under

exclusivity). US product basket remains robust - 584 ANDAs filed, 427

approvals received. Some niche launches include Lipodox, Doxil,

Doxycycline, Nystatin, 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 more than

20 have been approved by USFDA. However, warning letters to Karkhadi,

Halol and acute pricing pressure in the US base business are new

challenges even as it attempts to achieve Ranbaxy synergy.

Ranbaxy’s stronghold in fast growing emerging markets (50% of

Ranbaxy's sales) will complement Sun’s presence in this space. Regarding

US, it is determined to address Ranbaxy’s cGMP issues as four out of five

US centric facilities remain under USFDA embargo. Sun will gain

leadership position in the niche generic derma space and also get entry to

branded and OTC segments. In the domestic space, the acquisition is

likely to provide more therapeutic diversification to Sun’s portfolio and is

likely to improve its market share in key segments in the domestic space.

Its domestic market share has substantially improved to 8.9% from 5.5%

with leadership in as many as 11 therapies. The management expects

~US$300 million synergy benefits by FY18. We expect US sales to

decline at a CAGR of 8% to | 11580 crore in FY17-19E due to high base

and price erosion in base business. Similarly, the Indian formulations

business is likely to grow at 10% CAGR to | 9417 crore in FY17-19E.

Delay in Halol resolution, US pricing pressure major dampeners

Dismal Q4 numbers (both from Taro, Sun) have summarised the recent

pricing woos in the US generics space but more worrisome for Sun is the

delay in Halol resolution. By the management’s own assertion the

resolution is unlikely before FY18 end against earlier expectation of

Q2FY18. Unlike other generic players, the approval momentum is also

dismal in Sun’s case, mainly due to pending Halol resolution. On the US

generic pricing front, the management expects challenges to remain in

FY18 as well. Hence, they have guided for single digit revenue decline for

the year. The shift towards specialty products such as Tildrakizumab

(dermatology), BromSite, Seciera (both ophthalmic) and Odomzo

(oncology) are long term game plans, the benefits of which are back-

loaded. For now, the company is bracing for ‘’new normal’’, a scenario

where product specific price erosion continuum and prolonged cGMP

resolution delays are here to stay. We downgrade to HOLD with a new

target price of | 550 based on 20x FY19E EPS of | 25.7 and | 36 NPV for

Tildrakizumab.

Company Analysis

Established in 1983, Sun Pharma is the largest Indian pharmaceutical

company both in terms of market capitalisation and turnover (FY16).

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

584 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 FY18 and

potential approval 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 and 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 five years - sales grew

at ~40% CAGR to | 31558 crore, EBIDTA grew at CAGR of ~39% to

| 10089 crore. Adjusted PAT grew at a CAGR of ~31% to | 6964 crore.

Going ahead, we expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 2% in FY17-19E

to | 32901 crore after considering Ranbaxy acquisition.

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

CAGR of 10% in FY12-17 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 - 584 ANDAs filed, 427 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 8% to | 11580 crore in FY17-19E due to

high base and sharp price erosion in base business.

Indian formulations, which form 26% of the turnover, have grown at a

CAGR of 22% in FY12-17. With a market share of 8.6%, the company is

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

chronic segments were at 41%, 45% and 14% of revenues, respectively.

It is a leader in at least seven therapeutic categories, five of them chronic

therapies. 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 10% to | 9418 crore in FY17-19E 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.

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, proposed tightening

by the new regime by adapting to the bidding process and imposition of

border adjustment tax on imported drugs in the US. Halol facility has

received warning letter from the USFDA which is yet to be resolved.

Valuation

Dismal Q4 numbers (both from Taro and Sun) have summarised the

recent pricing woos in the US generics space. However, more worrisome

for Sun is the delay in Halol resolution. By the management’s own

assertion, the resolution is unlikely before the end of FY18 against earlier

expectation of Q2FY18. Unlike other generic players, the approval

momentum is also dismal in Sun’s case, mainly due to pending Halol

resolution. On the US generic pricing front, the management expects

challenges to remain in FY18 as well. Hence, it has guided for single digit

revenue decline for the year. The shift towards specialty products such as

Tildrakizumab (dermatology), BromSite, Seciera (both ophthalmic) and

Odomzo (oncology) are long term game plans, the benefits of which are

back-loaded. For now, the company is bracing for a ‘’new normal’’, a

scenario where product specific price erosion continuum and prolonged

cGMP resolution delays are here to stay. We downgrade the stock to

HOLD with a new target price of | 550 based on 20x FY19E EPS of | 25.7

and | 36 NPV for Tildrakizumab.
