Torrent Pharmaceuticals (TORPHA)

HOLD

January 28, 2020

One-offs impact revenues; margins remain strong

Revenues de-grew 4.1% YoY to | 1966 crore (I-direct estimate: | 2075 crore)

mainly due to 22.2% YoY decline in the US business to | 381 crore (I-direct

estimate: | 371.7 crore). Indian formulations grew just 4.3% YoY to | 871

crore (I-direct estimate: | 918.5 crore). EBITDA margins remained flat at

27.5% (I-direct estimate: 27.4%). EBITDA de-grew 3.7% YoY to | 540.0 crore

(I-direct estimate: | 574.1 crore). Net profit remained flattish growing 2%

YoY to | 251.0 crore (I-direct estimate: | 255.6 crore). Delta vis-à-vis EBITDA

was mainly due to higher tax rate offset by higher other income.

India growth steady; acquisitions to enhance coverage

Domestic branded formulations including CRAMs constitute 48% of sales.

The acquisition of Elder Pharma’s branded portfolio has added new

therapies like neutraceuticals, gynaecology and helped fill up portfolio gaps.

The Unichem acquisition has added branded portfolio comprising some

power brands besides achievement of long term synergy benefits. We

expect India sales to grow at ~10% CAGR in FY19-22E to | 4336 crore.

Volatility in export growth

Despite being a late entrant in the US market, the company has built a

healthy pipeline. Exclusivity (shared) launches, such as gCymbalta and

gAbilify in the past, have proven Torrent’s capabilities. To expand its

presence in non-oral segments like derma, injectable, oncology, it has

acquired Zyg Pharma and Bio-Pharm. The company also entered into a

number of collaborations. However, due to cGMP related issues in Indrad

and Dahej plants, we expect the US business growth to be muted in the near

term owing to delay in launches. We expect a ramp up in the Germany

business post the impact of serialisation and optical hygienic related

disturbances. Branded business in Brazil is likely to remain strong. However,

challenging macroeconomic factors and planned de-focus on tender

business are likely to impact near term growth. We expect Germany and

Brazil to grow at a CAGR of ~8% each in FY19-22E.

Valuation & Outlook

One–offs and a subdued US due to regulatory hurdles impacted revenues.

The overhang pertaining to two US focused plants notwithstanding, Torrent

continues to impress thanks to its robust margin profile, which can be

attributed to global portfolio that comprises ~60% branded generics. We

expect a further improvement in this matrix and product rationalisation to

further strengthen margins. The company’s portfolio is finely balanced

between India, Brazil, Germany and the US with Indian being the leader. With

consistent FCF generation and moderation in core capex, we expect the

leverage situation to improve substantially. However, the recent run up in

the stock price has left limited scope for further upsides. We maintain our

target price of | 2020 (22x of FY21E EPS of | 91.8).

Conference Call Highlights

Indian growth was driven by price hike: 8%, volume growth: 1.8%,

and new introductions – 2% as per AIOCD. Defocus on certain

brands from the Unichem portfolio has impacted domestic sales in

Q3FY20. Going forward, focus brands should negate this impact as

per management, normalising from Q1FY21

Going forward, Indian growth is likely to recover, driven by volume

growth tracking recent launches such as Ticagrelor (CVS),

Vildagliptin (anti-diabetic) and Remoglifitzain (anti-diabetic-

Glenmark deal)

The company has reduced MRs in India by 200 in a rationalisation

exercise, positively impacting employee expenditure. For 9MFY20,

PCPM was at | 7.2 lakh with MR strength of ~4000. The company

expects 70-100 bps improvement in margins, going forward, taking

into account that 60% of business is branded generics

Germany revenues declined 18% YoY, due to supply/backlog issues

at its warehouse. The company has hired additional personnel and

implemented new SOPs to tackle the same. It expects the impact to

normalise by end of FY20

As per the management, Brazil business is expected to continue its

double digit growth trend as primary sales will catch up with internal

growth

The company has maintained its cautious stance on Sartans in the

US by slow ramp-up of the product and is implementing a wait and

watch strategy awaiting clarity from USFDA

The company expects the Dahej facility to be up for re-inspection by

mid CY2020, with other facilities likely being ready for the same by

end CY20. As per management, issues at Leviton and Indrad

facilities are likely to be resolved within 15-18 months from the date

of issue of warning letter in October 2019

In Q3FY20, the company filed three ANDAs. Torrent has 45 ANDA

approvals pending and six ANDAs with tentative approval. It expects

to file 15-20 ANDAs and receive single digit approvals until CY20-

end

The company expects single digit US launches in FY21 and some

derma product launches from the Pithampur facility

The company has guided FY21 capital expenditure to be around

| 300 crore mostly comprising maintenance capex

Net debt reduction of | 900-1000 crore for FY20 is on track. The

company expects to achieve its goal of bringing down the net D/E

to ~1.8 by March 31, 2020

The management has maintained 72-73% gross margins guidance

The company expects tax rate for FY21 at 23-24%

Increase in other income in Q3FY20 was due to hedging gains

Q3FY20 R&D expenses were lower due to efficiency and delay in

some projects. The management has guided for 7% R&D spend in

FY21

Company Background

Incorporated in 1959, the company is a mid-sized generic player with a

strong presence in domestic and semi-regulated markets and a growing

presence in regulated markets. It is also present in the Indian CRAMS space

via supply agreement with Danish pharma major Novo Nordisk for the

latter’s insulin business in India. Also, there are chronic therapies like

cardiovascular, neurology and diabetology along with women's healthcare

and pain management post acquisition of Elder’s selected domestic

portfolio. In FY14, the company acquired Elder Pharma's domestic portfolio

of 30 brands mainly in the women's healthcare, pain management and

neutraceuticals business.

Elder’s premium calcium supplement brand Shelcal had a market share of

~30%. Torrent acquired two brands from Novartis in Q1FY18, which further

strengthens its domestic gynaecology portfolio.

The company acquired Unichem’s branded business of India and Nepal for

a consideration of | 3,600 crore. Unichem's India business comprises a

portfolio of more than 120 brands in India and Nepal, a manufacturing plant

at Sikkim catering to these markets and all the employees engaged in the

said business. The transaction is on a going concern basis by way of a slump

sale. Unichem India business sales were ~| 840 crore in FY17. Torrent will

fund the acquisition through a mix of internal accruals and borrowings. The

deal is expected to close by end of 2017. More than 3,000 employees will

get added to Torrent's employee pool. As per IMS MAT, with this deal

Torrent’s domestic market share will increase to 3.4% from current 2.4%

making it the fifth largest drug maker in India. Unichem’s top brands include

Losar, Unienzyme, Ampoxin, Telsar and Vizylac.

The company has a significant presence in the exports market in countries

like Brazil, Germany and lately in the US, among others. Despite being a late

entrant in the US, the company’s US revenue increased to ~US$200 million

in FY17 from just ~US$23 million in FY11 mainly due to limited competition

products such as gAbilify (Aripiprazole, CNS) in FY16 and gCymbalta

(duloxetine; anti-depression) in FY14. Post acquisition of Zyg Pharma (from

Mumbai based Encore Group), the company has also started filings in niche

dermatological segment in the US. Chronic focus, financial discipline,
