margin came in at 41.7% V/s 20.1% in 3QFY2015 (V/s 27.5% expected), aided by

Concall highlights
US sales for gAbilify during the quarter pertain to July-September sales as the
amount was received from the partner in 3QFY2016. As per the
Management, the partner has regained lost market share of gAbilify to some
extent during the quarter amid increased competition. Ex-gAbilify also, US
sales registered yoy growth.
USFDA audits were conducted in September and May
2015 for the
formulation and API plants, respectively. The other two API facilities are
expecting USFDA inspections in the near future.
The company has guided for ~8% R&D spend for FY2016. of the total R&D
expenses
80-85% are expected to be spent for generic formulations
(injectables & dermatology).
The company has given a capex guidance of `280-300cr for FY2016, of
which `200cr of capex has already been expended till 3QFY2016.
The company has maintained its guidance of 30-35% base business growth in
international sales.
Investment arguments
Focus on chronic segment to drive domestic formulation growth: Alembic Pharma
has been restructuring its business portfolio, which would aid in improving its
growth and operating performance. The company’s domestic formulation business
contributed 52% to its total sales in FY2015. The company has a strong field force
of ~3,600 medical representatives. Going forward, the company expects its
domestic formulation business to at least grow in line with the industry growth rate,
before it sees an improvement in the share of the high growth chronic segment.
For FY2015-17E, we expect the domestic formulation business to grow at a CAGR
of 13.0%.
Exports- US the key growth driver: On the exports front, the formulation business
contributed 31% to the total turnover, with majority of the contribution coming
from Europe and the US. In the US, the company has filed for ~70 ANDAs till date
February 2, 2016

Alembic Pharma | 3QFY2016 Result Update
and received 44 approvals. The company, going forward, expects to keep its
momentum high in terms of number of filings, by filing around 10-12 ANDAs per
annum. For FY2015-17E, we expect exports to register a CAGR of 95.5%.
Outlook and valuation: Alembic Pharma’s growth and profitability profile has
improved post the restructuring carried out by the Management. Over FY2015-17,
we expect the company to post a CAGR of 36.1% and 38.2% in sales and
net profit, respectively. We recommend a Neutral on the stock, owing to fuller
valuations.
