ICICI Securities Ltd. | Retail Equity Research December 22, 2015 Monthly Update Healthcare IPOs; warning letter for Sun… Three IPOs within a span of 10 days sums up the sudden rush of healthcare IPOs amid profit booking in the secondary market. This was on the heels of the Syngene IPO, which hit the markets in July. Anti-infective leader Alkem, diagnostic lab Dr Lal’s Pathlabs and hospital chain Narayana Hrudayalaya raised | 1350 crore, | 640 crore and | 600 crore (estimates), respectively. Sun Pharma has received a warning letter from the USFDA for its Halol manufacturing facility. This was expected as the management had revealed that the facility was qualified for official action indicated (OAI) by the USFDA, at the time of Q2FY16 conference call. Note that the facility received 23 observations post September 2014 inspection. The company has been working with external consultants to get Halol back to compliance. However, on the approvals front, the company has received a shot in the arm as it got exclusive generic approval for Novartis’ oncology drug Gleevec from USFDA. The drug is meant for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia. Annual sales of this drug are ~US$2.5 billion. Sun Pharma is eligible to launch this drug in the US on February 1, 2016 while the same will be launched from the US based Cranbury facility. On the domestic approvals front, Cipla, Natco and Hetero Pharma have received approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to launch the generic version of Gilead Sciences' hepatitis C treatment drug Harvoni (Ledipasvir+Sofosbuvir) in India. Natco Pharma plans to launch this combination drug immediately under its brand name Hepcinat LP and through its strategic partners in India. Natco also received approval to launch generic version of Daklinza (Daclatasvir Dihydrochloride). Daclatasvir is used in combination with Sofosbuvir for the treatment of hepatitis C. Natco will market generic Daclatasvir under its own brand NATDAC. The Indian pharmaceutical market (IPM) grew just 8.6% YoY to | 7954 crore in November due to the base effect. The growth was mainly driven by price hikes – 5.0%, volume growth – 1.0%, and new product launches – 2.7%. On a MAT basis, IPM growth was at 14.4% YoY to | 95121 crore. Among our covered companies, Alembic registered highest growth of 18.8% YoY followed by Cipla, DRL, Glenmark and Indoco that registered growth of 15.8%, 12.6%, 11.5% and 10.1%, respectively. Recent headwinds factored in; long term drivers still intact We believe the recent setbacks on account of USFDA issues have already been factored in the benchmark Nifty Pharma index, which is down ~17% from the peak and is trading at 18x FY18E against the historical range of 20- 22x. Going ahead, the Street apprehensions on account of compliance issues and currency volatility in emerging markets are likely to be mitigated by acceleration in US approvals (YTD 139 ANDAs against 105 in CY14 for I- direct coverage) and sustainable growth in domestic formulations. The US and Indian formulations remain main growth drivers for the sector (~50% of overall universe sales) on the back of a strong pipeline and incremental product launches. Our FY15-18 growth expectations for the US and Indian formulations for the I-direct pharma universe were at 15.3% and 17.8%, respectively. Similarly, our FY15-18 growth estimates for EBITDA and PAT for the universe was at 19.7% and 22.8%, respectively. We continue to maintain a positive view on the sector on the back of earnings visibility, consistent operating cash flows, healthy operating margins, relatively low leverage and strong return ratios.
