Aurobindo Pharma (APL), over the years, has transformed itself from being a low-margin API player to a high-margin formulation player. Consequently, APL’s FY2012 OPM and RoE are on par with top Indian generic peers. Concerns on the debt front are also receding and the company’s net debt/equity ratio is expected to improve to 0.6x in FY2012 from 1.1x in FY2010. We expect net sales and recurring profit (excluding other operating income) to post a CAGR of 15.6% and 29.1% respectively, over FY2010-12. The stock is currently trading at 13.6x FY2011E and 10.3x FY2012E earnings, which is at 50% discount to the top Indian generic peers and unwarranted due to the improving business mix owing to which we believe that the stock is poised for re-rating. We Initiate Coverage on the stock, with a Buy recommendation and SOTP Target Price of `1,330. Supply agreements to drive growth: To leverage on its cost efficiency and strong product filings, APL entered into supply agreements with Pfizer and AstraZeneca, which provides significant revenue visibility. APL is also in talks with other MNCs for more supply agreements. Revenues from the supply agreements are set to rise 3x over FY2010-12 from `227cr to `644cr.

US and ARV formulation segments to be key drivers for base business: APL’s US base business (ex-Pfizer) is expected to post CAGR of 36.0% over FY2010-12 to US $268mn with revenue per product increasing to US $2.6mn from US $2.3mn. On ARV front, we expect revenues to log CAGR of 11.1% to `612cr over FY2010-12 as APL would continue to be the largest supplier under the PEPFAR contract with a market share of 35%.

Recurring earnings (ex other OI) to post CAGR of 29.1%

Net sales are estimated to log a CAGR of 15.6% to `4,506cr over FY2010-12 on back of supply agreements, the US (ex-Pfizer) and ARV formulation contracts. We expect APL’s recurring earnings (excluding other operating income) to post a CAGR of 29.1% over FY2010-12 to `506cr on the back of sales growth and OPM expansion. We estimate OPM to increase by 206bp to 20.4% during the mentioned period.

APL aims to clock US $2bn in FY2014

APL expects to clock strong CAGR of 29.4% in top-line to US $2bn by FY2014 from US $713mn in FY2010. The company expects contribution from the formulations segment to ramp up to 75% by FY2014 from current levels of 55%.

Our estimates are lower than company’s long term guidance as we expect growth to be more back-ended for the company driven by US (injectables and controlled substances) and supply agreements.

APL stock poised for re-rating

APL has moved up the value chain and transformed from being a low-margin API player to a high-margin formulations player. Consequently, contribution from the formulation segment to net sales is expected to increase from 55% in FY2010 to 67% in FY2012. Moreover, APL’s FY2012 OPM and RoE are in-line with top Indian generic players. The debt concerns are also receding with the company’s net debt/equity ratio expected to improve to 0.6x in FY2012 from 1.1x in FY2010. At current levels the stock is trading at 13.6x FY2011E and 10.3x FY2012E earnings, which is at 50% discount to the top Indian generic peers and unwarranted due to the improving business mix owing to which we believe that it is poised for re-rating.

We have valued APL on a SOTP basis. The base business has been valued at 14x FY2012E core earnings (`90.2/share), which is at 33% discount (on the back of low presence in the high-margin domestic formulation business) to the top Indian generic players and fetches `1,263/share. We have assigned a higher multiple to APL’s core business compared to the multiple assigned by street and its historical average, as we believe that the concerns about higher contribution of the API business is unwarranted given that the company’s FY2012 OPM and RoE are on par with top Indian generic peers and are likely to sustain going forward.

APL has also seen a substantial spurt in other operating income on the back of dossier income primarily under the Pfizer agreement and sale of dossiers in Europe. Other operating income constituted nearly 31.9% of PBT in FY2010. However, we have assigned a lower multiple as there is lack of clarity regarding the time-line of the recurring nature of the dossier income. We have valued other operating income at 7x 50% of FY2012E income (`9.5/share) and ascribed `67/share.

Investment Arguments

Supply agreements to drive growth

On the global filings front (ANDAs and dossiers) APL has increased its filing dramatically from 313 in FY2008 to 1,171 in FY2010, as it proposes to scale up from SSP and Cephs to NPNC products. Further, the transformation from being a pure API supplier to becoming a formidable formulations player has increased its cost efficiencies, as 90% of its formulation is now backward integrated.

Exhibit 7: API and Formulations filings

Source: Company, Angel Research. Note: Other regulated markets include multiple registrations in the EU

Thus, to leverage on its cost efficiency and strong product filings, APL entered into long-term supply agreements with Pfizer (March 2009) and AstraZeneca (September 2010), which provides significant revenue visibility going ahead. The company is also in discussion with other MNCs for more supply agreements.

Under the Pfizer contract, APL would supply more than 100 products post full commercialisation of the contract and cover various geographies. In FY2010, APL scaled up supply with 23 products to the US and clocked revenues of US $48mn. In Europe, the company expects to significantly ramp up in the current fiscal. The company proposes commercialisation for the rest of the world (RoW) by FY2012. Pertinently, APL has received upfront payment under the contract boosting its cash flow. Going ahead, Pfizer is likely to add more products and cover additional geographies based on the initial response that it receives from its existing markets.

Under its supply agreement with AstraZeneca, APL would be supplying several solid dosage and sterile products to the emerging markets covering therapeutic segments such as anti-infective, CVS and CNS. We expect the AstraZeneca contract to contribute US $5mn in FY2012. Overall, we expect revenues from the supply agreements to increase 3x over FY2010-12 from `227cr to `644cr.

US and ARV formulation segment key drivers for base business

APL’s business, excluding the supply agreements, would primarily be driven by the US and the ARV segment on the formulation front. The API business is expected to be subdued as the company would be using most of the API for internal consumption.

Product launches to drive business in US market

APL has particularly been able to scale up its business in the US market through product introductions and the supply agreement with Pfizer. In the US, the company has seen a growth in business 16x over FY2006-10 and attained critical mass. APL’s base business (ex Pfizer) logged a CAGR of 82.3% to US $145mn over the period. Pertinently, the company scaled up supplies under the Pfizer contract in FY2010 and clocked revenues of US $48mn. APL offset the lower revenue per product (US $2.3mn) by widening its product basket (APL-61, Pfizer-23 products).

Exhibit 10: US market - Performance across players (FY2010)

Source: Company, Angel Research.

APL has commercialised 61 products in the US with the top-10 products contributing nearly 60% of its revenues in FY2010. The company primarily targets day-1 launches in the US. APL has been able to garner strong market share in highly competitive generic products such as Citalopram Hydrobromide, Paroxetine Hydrochloride, Amoxicillin, Metformin Hydrochloride and Simvastatin owing to cost advantages. APL is also witnessing strong pick up (has garnered 8% market share) in the recently launched Valacyclovir tablets. Additionally, APL recently also received approvals for the low-competition Ampicillin injections, which has a market size of more than US $100mn.

APL has also commercialised its New Jersey (NJ) facility, which it acquired from Sandoz in 2006. Through this facility APL is targeting the institutional business in the US. Pertinently, to run the institutional business in the US it is necessary to have a local production unit. APL has also begun filings of controlled substances from the unit, which is expected to contribute from FY2013 onwards.

APL has been one of the aggressive filers in the US market with 169 ANDAs filed with 113 approvals received till FY2010. Among the players, APL is the third largest ANDA filer. APL has aggressively filed in the last three years and is now geared to reap benefits, even though most of the filings are for highly competitive products. APL expects to file 15-20 ANDAs in FY2011 and FY2012.

Exhibit 12: ANDA filings (FY2010)

Source: Company, Angel Research

Going ahead, the next three years in the US, with US $70bn going off-patent, one of the highest in history, we believe that APL is well placed to tap this opportunity. We expect the company to clock 42.0% CAGR in net sales in the US over FY2010-12 to US $388mn driven by product launches and the Pfizer contract. This contract is expected to contribute US $120mn constituting 31% of US sales. We expect the base business (ex-Pfizer) to post a CAGR of 36.0% over FY2010-12 and contribute US $268mn by FY2012 with revenue per product increasing to US $2.6mn from US $2.3mn in FY2010 as the company moves towards the high revenue generating NPNC and injectable (SSP and Cephs) products.

ARV business on strong footing

APL derives 15% of its revenues from the ARV segment, which registered 54.9% CAGR over FY2006-10 to `495cr. This segment derives around 80% of its revenues from the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program. The US had committed funds to the tune of US $18.8bn for the PEPFAR program during FY2004-08. In FY2009, the relief was increased to US $6.6bn and maintained at US $6.7bn in FY2010. Overall expenditure on the ARV drugs increased from US $117mn in FY2005 to US $203mn in FY2008, registering a CAGR of 20%. Meanwhile, the amount spent on generic ARV increased from 9.2% in FY2005 to 76.4% in FY2008.

APL is one of the largest generic suppliers under the ARV contracts with 35% market share. APL enjoys high market share as it is fully integrated in all its products apart from having a larger product basket. Overall, we expect the ARV segment to post CAGR of 11.1% over FY2010-12 to `612cr with the PEPFAR allocation for generic ARVs expected to increase.

Europe and RoW growing at steady pace

In Europe, APL has been developing its presence through licensing agreements with the MNC’s and other generic players. In the UK, Netherland and Italy, APL has a direct presence. The company is now targeting newer geographies, viz. Romania, Spain, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. During FY2006-10, the company’s EU business registered CAGR of 51.6% to `237cr.

We expect EU to register CAGR of around 21.0% over FY2010-12 to `348cr driven by product launches and the Pfizer contract. We expect the Pfizer contract to scale up significantly from `2cr in FY2010 to `63cr in FY2012. Excluding Pfizer, we expect overall sales to grow by 10.0% to `285cr in FY2012.

API segment to remain subdued

APL is one of the largest players in the API space, which contributed around 45% to its FY2010 sales with supply of SSP (oral and sterile), Cephs (oral and sterile) and other APIs having predominant exposure in its domestic segment.

APL registered a decline of 5.2% in oral (SSP and Cephs) APIs over FY2006-10 due to price volatility. The company’s API segment is vulnerable to Pen-G prices as it is the basic input for API. Hence, to protect its margins, APL shifted to sterile API products and is now also using most of the API for internal consumption.

Going ahead, we expect the API segment revenues to remain flat to `1,575cr over FY2010-12 as the company would use most of the API for internal consumption.

CRAMS a long term driver

APL launched its CRAMS division, AuroSource, to cater to the global innovators and biotech players. The division offers services across the entire product life cycle from pre-clinical to the commercial launch. APL is already in discussion with few players though we have not factored in any upsides from the business in our estimates.

We expect the API segment revenues toremain flat to `1,575cr over FY2010-12as the company would use most of theAPI for internal consumption

Financials

Top-line to register 15.6% CAGR over FY2010-12E

APL recorded 20.5% CAGR in net sales during FY2006-10 to `3,370cr driven by the formulation segments. Overall contribution of the formulation segment increased from 17.0% in 2006 to 55.0% in FY2010 primarily led by the US and ARV contracts. During FY2006-10, while sales in the US posted a CAGR of 99.2% to `912cr driven by product launches and commencement of supplies to Pfizer, ARV formulation sales logged 54.9% CAGR over on the back of the contract wins under the PEPFAR project. The API segment however, recorded sluggish CAGR of 3.0% as the increase in volumes was offset by lower price realisations during the period.

Exhibit 18: Increasing contribution from formulations

Source: Company, Angel Research

For FY2011, we expect net sales to grow at a slower pace of 12.7% to `3,796cr due to capacity constraints (NPNC) - the new facilities at the Unit VII (SEZ) and NJ are expected to scale up gradually. We expect the formulation segment to clock 22.7% yoy growth to `2,273cr, while the API segment is expected to decline by 1.3% to `1,581cr.

In the US region, the formulation segment is expected to clock 35.3% yoy growth to `1,234cr driven by the off-take under the Pfizer contract primarily in 2HFY2011 and launch of new products (SSP and Ceph injectable products). In Europe, we expect net sales to come in at `265cr, up 11.5%, while the RoW is expected to register 8.7% yoy growth to `225cr on the back of product launches. The ARV segment is expected to clock 10.8% yoy growth to `549cr as contribution from PEPFAR contract increases.

For FY2012, we expect net sales to clock strong growth of 18.7% to `4,506cr on the back of increase in capacity utilisation at its new facilities. Formulation sales are expected to register 32.0% yoy growth to `3,000cr while the API segment is expected to remain flat at `1,575cr.

In the US, under the Pfizer contract we expect APL to clock sales of `540cr following the increase in product launches. Further, ex-Pfizer sales in the US is expected to grow 36.3% yoy to `1,206cr and is likely to witness improvement in revenue per product. For EU we expect revenues to grow at 31.4% to `348cr, while RoW is expected to clock net sales of `294cr following commencement of supplies under the Pfizer and AstraZeneca contracts. On the ARV front, we expect growth of 11.5% in revenues to `612cr. Overall, we expect net sales to log a CAGR of 15.6% over FY2010-12 to `4,506cr driven by the supply agreements, US (ex Pfizer) region and ARV contracts.

Margin expansion to be driven by increasing contribution from formulations

APL has been able to expand its OPM (excluding other operating income) from 11.1% in FY2006 to 18.3% in FY2010 and is now on par with the sector average in spite of higher contribution from the low-margin API segment. The company’s gross margins improved significantly by 12.1% over FY2006-10 to 47.3% on the back of increasing contribution from the high-margin formulation segment. However, the increase in gross margins was partly offset by the rise in SG&A and employee expenses, which restricted the increase in OPM by 7.2% to 18.3% in FY2010. APL increased its employee strength by 16% in FY2010 with the commencement of its new facilities and expansion at its API facilities.

Overall, we expect net sales to post aCAGR of 15.6% over FY2010-12 to`4,506cr driven by the supplyagreements, US (ex Pfizer) region andARV contracts

APL has been able to expand its OPM(excluding other OI) from 11.1% inFY2006 to 18.3% in FY2010

Page 14: Aurobindo Pharma

Aurobindo Pharma | Initiating Coverage

October 18, 2010 14

Going ahead, increase in contribution from formulations to 67% in FY2012 from 55% in FY2010 and gradual scale up in capacity utilisation at its new facilities are likely to increase its OPM to 20.4% in FY2012 from 18.3% in FY2010.

On a comparative basis, APL’s OPM would be on par with the sector average. This is on back of backward integration on the formulation front. Overall, the transformation to formulation player has benefited APL in dual ways - most of the API is now utilized for internal consumption (more than 90% of its formulation is backward integrated) thereby making it cost competitive in the formulation space as well as insulating the company from the high price volatility (seen especially between 2008-09 where gains of the formulation business was offset by price volatility on the API front) witnessed on the API business. Further, APL does not have a significant presence in the branded generic segment (including India) owing to which its expenditure for sales promotion and advertisements are on the lower side.

Recurring PAT (ex other OI) to increase by 29.1% CAGR over FY2010-12

Recurring PAT (ex other OI) registered CAGR of 46.0% to `304cr during FY2006-10 driven by sales growth and margin expansion.

Going ahead, interest expense is expected to rise as the company raises debt to repay the FCCBs (including premium) to the tune of `938cr in May 2011. We estimate interest expense to increase from `73cr to `91cr in FY2012. Depreciation cost is also expected to increase from `149cr in FY2010 to `208cr in FY2012 due to the new facilities (Unit VII (SEZ), NJ and Trident).

In the last two years (FY2009 and FY2010), the company clocked other OI of `142cr and `206cr on the back of sale of dossiers to Europe and under the Pfizer contract, which has resulted in strong cash flows for the company. On a conservative basis, we expect the company to clock dossier income of `140cr both in FY2011 and FY2012 primarily from the supply agreements.

Capex spend to moderate

The company has been on an aggressive capex spree in the last five years incurring capex of `1,721cr (73% of FY2010 fixed assets), which was largely spent on the formulation segment.

However, capacity utilisation has been subdued especially in tablets/capsules at 46% in FY2010 primarily due to lower utilisation at the Unit VIB (Cephs) and Unit XII (SSP). However, going ahead, we expect the utilisation to increase at these facilities on the back of injectable product launches in the US and pick up in volume under the supply agreements.

Further, to address the capacity constraint in Unit III (NPNC), APL built a facility near Hyderabad (Unit VII SEZ) in FY2010. APL spent around `250cr to set up this facility, which is spread across 10 acres of the total 75 acres land. The unit has the capacity to produce to 1,000mn tablets and 100mn capsules per month, which has almost doubled the company’s tablets/capsules production. The company expects the unit to meet the increasing demand in the regulated markets and emerging markets.

To address capacity constraints on theNPNC front, APL commercialised UnitVII (SEZ) in FY2010

Page 16: Aurobindo Pharma

Aurobindo Pharma | Initiating Coverage

October 18, 2010 16

APL has also commercialised its NJ facility, which it acquired from Sandoz in 2006. Through this facility APL is targeting the institutional business in the US. It is necessary to have a local production unit to run the institutional business. APL has begun filings of controlled substances from the unit, which is expected to contribute from FY2013 onwards. Overall, we expect Unit VII SEZ and the NJ facility to scale up and witness ramp up in capacity utilisation in FY2012 driven by supply agreements, US and ARV segment leading to an improvement in margins.

Thus, with most of the facilities in place, we expect APL to incur moderate capex of `568cr over the next two years.

Debt concerns receding

In view of APL’s aggressive capex, its net debt/equity increased to 1.8x in FY2009, which was much higher than the industry average of 0.4x. However, in FY2010, with overall improvement in business profitability (OPM expansion), the company’s net debt/equity improved to 1.1x. Going ahead, in FY2012, we expect net debt/equity to further improve to 0.6x on the back of debt repayments, decline in capex and improvement in profitability.

APL has outstanding FCCB of US $139.2mn repayable in May 2011 with the conversion price at 25-43% premium over the current price. We expect APL to repay its outstanding FCCBs through internal accruals and debt resulting in outflow of `938cr.

Concerns

Delay in ramp up of supply agreements: APL is expected to receive 14.3% of its FY2012 revenues from the supply agreements (Pfizer and AstraZeneca). Hence, any delay in ramp up of the supply agreements would pose a downside risk to our estimates.

Forex risks: Exports constitute 61% of the company revenues. Therefore, any significant appreciation in the rupee could adversely affect the company's margins. However, more than 80% of the company’s debt is foreign currency denominated providing a natural hedge against currency volatility.

High price volatility in the API business: Higher-than-anticipated price erosion in the company's generic API business, could impact its profitability. In FY2008-09, OPMs were flat in spite of higher contribution from the high-margin formulation business as the gains were offset by the price volatility in the API business. However, with formulation contribution to net sales increasing to 67% in FY2012 and reducing dependence on Pen-G related APIs, which should cushion the company’s margins going ahead.
