Corporate India may require a systematic informant system

Whenever a whistle blowing event occurs in Corporate India, the stock prices of the listed firm seems to react violent making the investors losing a large chunk of their investment value. However, the panic reaction seems massive. It can be a result of a series of misgovernance issues among the Indian corporates that have been afloat in recent years which are engraved deeply in the investor psyche. However, as a result, investors are also coming forward to question the respective managements. Even though the whistle-blower complaints are not new for the Infosys, it acted swift with its already well-established process to its recent complaints. Its audit committee has investigated the issue, recusing its CEO and CFO on whom the whistle was blown in its initial developments. However, it may not be same for all the corporates in India. Even though the whistleblower complaints gives the first hint of many scams in India, the legal framework gives fewer incentives to water the culture of insider whistleblowers to alert against corporate fraud.

The laws to facilitate corporate whistleblowing in India are arbitrarily drafted. Even though Section 177(9) of the amended Companies Act of 2013 requires listed companies and such companies accepting deposits and material borrowings to establish a vigilant mechanism, the execution of such is loosely defined. Even though the mechanism is meant to facilitate directors or employees to report fraudulent or unethical behaviour, it’s not compulsory for the companies to provide email id. Resolution is left to the discretion of the company and anonymous complaints are actively discouraged. SEBI’s LODR Regulations go a little farther by tasking audit committees with reviewing the whistleblower mechanism. But they fail to specify any process for complaint resolution. Even in cases where companies do have a proper whistleblowing mechanism, complaints are often investigated by the in-house audit committee. Given how pliant independent directors on corporate boards tend to be in the Indian context, it seems a tall task to expect the audit committee to protect the identity of the whistleblower or to nail the culprits. In many cases, forensic audits commissioned by the regulator have unearthed substantial evidence of fraud after perpetrators were exonerated by in-house audit committees. This imperfect situation leads to whistleblowers taking their complaints to the media where they can get widely disseminated before being proved, opening the doors to wealth destruction and market manipulation.

Establishing a centralised whistleblower mechanism under the auspices of the market regulator appears to be the best way to solve this problem. The Office of the Whistle-blower under the US SEC has been quite successful at unearthing corporate frauds since its inception in 2010. SEBI has recently mooted an ‘informant’ mechanism for reporting cases of insider trading. There’s no reason why this shouldn’t be extended to whistle-blowing on all legal and corporate governance infractions in listed firms.

Investment Rationale

• The company has taken gradual shift and is a diversified pharma company with

major revenues coming from US and India + Emerging Markets. We are enthused

by company’s performance and maintain BUY on the stock.

• The India piece is expected to grow in double digits with increasing focus on

brand introductions and increasing productivity. The EM piece will show renewed

traction with concentrated efforts on increasing market share in chosen therapy

areas including expansion of biosimilars and oncology portfolio, focus on scaling

up in major markets, which include Russia, China, Brazil, South Africa and Ukraine.

As the branded piece is more profitable, higher growth and higher contribution

will yield better margins for the company.

• Changing dynamics of the generics markets, cost competitiveness will continue

to be key drivers. The company has launched 15-16 products YTD of which

Daptomycin, Vitamin K, Testosterone, re-launch of Isotret and Fosaprepitant are

important products which could generate revenues in excess of USD 10-15 Mn.

Propofol injection is another important product but scale up would take time for

this product. On regulatory front, all plants have clearance except Srikakulam

API plant. The company would continue to show decent revenue traction going

ahead.

• In FY 2019, cost optimization initiatives enabled company to improve profitability.

Multi-year initiatives are now in place to drive cost and procurement efficiencies;

to optimize R&D spends and productivity; and to improve manpower throughput

by delivering and eliminating needless overlaps.

• To create a profitable and sustainable model, the company has sold its antibiotic

formulations facility in Bristol, US, its API manufacturing business unit at

Jeedimetla, Hyderabad; and the rights to distribute and market the specialty

derma brands portfolio.

Valuation

We upgrade our revenue estimates for FY20E by 1.2% and

downgrade our FY21E by 5.3% mainly due to downgrade in US

business. We marginally decline our EBITDA margins for both

the years. We however upgrade our EPS estimates for FY20E by

4.4 % to Rs. 152.4 while we maintain our EPS estimates at Rs. 155.3

for FY21E. We downgrade our rating on the stock to ‘Hold’ with a

price target of Rs. 3259 based on 21x FY21E.

BULLION

The global precious metals market had witnessed a choppy trend during the week ended on December 20th, 2019 wherein CME gold futures traded in a narrow range of $1474.55 - $1485.65 per troy ounce while silver futures in the thin range of $16.94 - $17.18 per troy ounce in absence of major triggers for the market. Strong performance of the global equity market had kept the bullion market in range bound trend. Further, there were concerns about the Phase One of trade deal even after Trump signing of trade deal with China in the previous week. During the week, the main event took place was the impeachment of US President by House of Representatives over misuse of power connected to Ukraine scandal. This impeachment would result into delay in further process of trade deal with US. During the week, major economic releases were US manufacturing and services PMI, which came at 52.5 vs. 52.6 and 52.2 vs. 51.6 respectively. The US housing market witnessed lesser growth in the month of November with building permits increasing by 1.4% vs. 5.0% and housing rising by 3.2% vs. 4.5%. On domestic front, MCX gold and silver futures witnessed an upside movement triggered by depreciation of Indian Rupee against US Dollar. MCX gold futures crossed Rs. 38000 per 10 grams while silver futures rose near to Rs. 45000 per kg. Indian government is mulling for introduction of gold policy to streamline gold trading and imports into the country.

BASE METALS

The prices of most metals rose higher during the week wherein copper outperformed the base metals segments touching a seven-month high on Friday and maintained a fifth consecutive weekly gains in the prices after a US-China trade deal cool off the concerns about the health of the global economy. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the US and China would sign their phase one pact in early January. The US House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a new North American deal that leaves $1.2 Tn in annual US-Mexico-Canada trade flows largely intact. On the other hand, China kept its lending benchmark rate unchanged but markets expect further monetary easing in 2020 to arrest an economic slowdown in country. Separately, copper open interest (OI) has increased notably across each of the three main exchanges (LME/Comex/SHFE) and is in aggregate up by around 1.3 million tonnes over the past month. Indonesia is set to stop nickel ore exports in January to boost its domestic mineral processing. Nickel ore exports from top exporter Indonesia are estimated at around 26.7 million tonnes for this year, compared to the 30.83 million tonnes export quota.

ENERGY

Crude oil prices held steady near three-month highs on the back of easing China-US trade tensions that have weighed on demand as well as the global economic growth outlook. China on Thursday unveiled a new list of import tariff exemptions for six chemical and oil products from the US, days after the world’s two largest economies announced a Phase 1 trade deal. The exemptions will be for one year from December 26th without providing a value for the imports excluded from duties. UBS lifted its oil price forecast for 2020 but also expects the oil market to be oversupplied by 0.3 million barrels per day next year. Hedge fund managers piled back into petroleum last week after Saudi Arabia and its allies in the OPEC+ group of major oil exporters announced deeper-than-expected cuts to their production in the first quarter of 2020. As per the fundamentals, fund managers’s confidence boosted as the global economy is expected to avoid a recession and OPEC+ will cut output enough to avert a build up in inventories next year. Thus, as a result is that hedge funds are gradually loading up on petroleum derivatives, buying a total of 338 million barrels over the last nine weeks, in anticipation of a tighter market and higher prices in 2020.

COTTON

Indian cotton market continued to witness range bound trend during the week ended on December 20th, 2019 in absence of major trade participation from end users. The spinners are postponing bulk purchase of cotton in anticipation of prices falling below Rs. 19000 per bale. Cotton Corporation of India has been purchasing cotton in major producing states. All India cotton arrivals is standing at 72,30,297 candies as on December 13th, 2019 as reported by Cotton Corporation of India. On global front, ICE cotton futures are heading for fourth weekly gains in the week to December 20th, 2019 on expectation of increase in purchase by China. Since US and China agreed for Phase One of trade deal with condition of reduction of tariff by US on Chinese goods and China agreeing to double import of agriculture goods in next two years.

OIL & OILSEEDS

The Indian oil and oilseeds complex had witnessed an uninterrupted rally during the week ended on December 20th, 2019 on follow-through buying supported by strong fundamental factors. NCDEX soybean futures surged to all time high of Rs. 4376 per quintal while refined soy oil futures rallied to all time high of Rs. 911.60 per 10 kg. Limited supply of the fresh produce due to smaller crop size in the current season and emerging export demand for soy meal has been pushing the soybean market. All India supply of soybean reduced to 4-5 lakh bags against normal arrival 7-8 lakh bags, which is creating supply shortage. Expectation of decline in import of soy oil from Argentina following a draft policy to increase the export tax and impose tariff on goods held in other countries has been supporting the soy oil futures. CBOT soybean and soy oil futures rose to three week high on hopes of increased export to China after signing of trade deal between US and China. Mustard seed futures also surged to four-year high of Rs. 4625 per quintal supported by lagging sowing data.
