Results above estimates: Alembic reported strong revenue growth of 23.9% yoy to
`396cr. Although the domestic formulation business grew by just
9.7%, it
performed well given the slow growth in the industry.
We expect growth momentum of the domestic formulation business to continue
going ahead, as the restructuring exercise undertaken by management is now
showing positive results. During the quarter, the low-margin domestic API
segment’s sales grew strongly by 40.3% yoy to `22cr (` 15.7cr), driven by volume
offtake.
Exports, on the other hand, posted robust growth of 51.2%, driven by robust
growth in API as well formulations, which grew by 49.5% and 52.4%, respectively.
On the US regulatory filing front, the company has cumulative ANDA filings of 41
ANDAs in the US with 15 approvals.

Alembic Pharma | 2QFY2012 Result Update
OPM impacted by higher contribution from the domestic API business: Alembic
reported OPM of 15.3%, which was higher on a qoq basis mainly on the back of
the domestic formulation business, whose contribution has increased on a qoq
basis (from 50% in 1QFY2012 to 57% in 2QFY2012).
Net profit up 51.2%, driven by revenue growth and expansion in OPM: Alembic
recorded net profit of `38cr, primarily driven by revenue growth and operating
profit (up 43% yoy).
Investment arguments
Restructuring to drive growth: Alembic has been restructuring its business portfolio,
which would aid in improving the company’s growth and operating performance.
The company’s domestic formulation business contributed 57% to total sales in
FY2011, with 75% of its revenue coming from the anti-infective, respiratory,
gynaecological and gastro therapeutic space. The company has a strong field
force of ~2,700 MRs. On the export front, the formulation business contributed
14% to the total turnover, with majority of the contribution coming from Europe
and the US. In the US, YTD the company has filed for 41 ANDAs and has received
15 approvals. The international API business contributes 28% to the total turnover.
Going forward, the company expects its domestic formulation business to grow at
industry pace. Further, revenue from the US generic market is expected to scale up
on the back of product approvals.
Profitability and return ratios to improve: On the OPM front, we expect Alembic’s
margins to improve from current levels of 12.2% in FY2011 to 15.0% by FY2013,
given the improving productivity of the field force going ahead. The company
plans to reduce debt (currently at `339cr) going ahead, as it does not foresee any
major capital expenditure requirements except the normal capex. Hence, it would
be utilizing its operating cash flows to repay debt. Overall, Alembic has RoE of
over 35%.
Outlook and valuation: The company’s growth and profitability profile has
improved post the restructuring carried out by management. Over FY2011-13, we
expect the company to post a CAGR of 15.4% and 30.6% in its sales and net
profit, respectively. At the CMP, the stock is trading at attractive valuations. Hence,
we maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with a target price of `77.
