Conference call - Key highlights
Company has indicated of pricing pressure in the US. The 4th quarter lower
EBITDA was due to the seasonality.
The slower growth in the domestic revenues is on the account of
demonetisation and DPCO initiated price cuts and negative WPI inflation.
Anti-infective segment contributes ~40% of its top line and de-growth in this
segment has hurt its overall growth in the quarter.
In the chronic segment, company has grown faster than the market and has
also moved higher in ranks of the respective segments.
In the US, company has gained market share in its products, the growth in 4Q
also was due to the new product launches. In the FY17, company has made 7
drug launches in US.
The company has received EIR for all the three facilities on which it had earlier
received minor observations.
The effective GST rate would be 12% vs. current 9.5%. The industry is seeking
government approval for price hike post-GST.
Company expects higher single-digit products launches in the US this year.
R&D expenses guidance of 6% of net sales for FY18E.
FY18E capex likely to be ~`600cr.
Company maintains the guidance to launch high single digit ANDAs per year
going ahead.

Investment arguments
Strong domestic business- Alkem is the 5th largest pharma company in India
in terms of domestic revenues. Its acute segment contributes 88% of domestic
revenue while chronic business contributes
12%. In the acute business,
company is ranked #1 in anti-infective segment and #3 each in pain and
Gastro intestinal segments. Alkem is currently a small player in the chronic
segment but it is expanding this business rapidly.
Domestic business to continue its outperformance vs. industry: Alkem is
expected to continue its outperformance vs. industry due to strong growth in its
acute and chronic segments. Both segments are expected to report strong
growth due to increasing market share as well as increasing productivity of its
marketing and sales staff. We expect domestic sales to grow at 13.8% CAGR
to `5,434cr in FY19E, vs. domestic industry growth of ~12% during the same
period.
US revenue to double with increased ANDA monetization: Alkem’s ANDA
pipeline increased 2.9x from 31 ANDAs in FY12 to 91 ANDAs in FY17. ANDA
approvals also grew by 3.5x during the same period, of this 8 approvals came
in FY17 itself. In next three years company expects increased ANDA launches
on the back of approval to 2/3rd of its pipeline. This will see strong increase in
its US revenue from `1,203cr in FY17 to `1,896cr in FY19E.
Improving operating performance: Alkem’s operating performance is expected
to improve with better sales mix (increasing exports) and market share gains in
chronic segment. The company has already seen margin improvement and
with rising profitability of US business, we estimate
70-100bps margin
expansion.
Outlook and valuation
The stock at the CMP of `1,868 is available at P/E of 18.6x of FY19E EPS of `101.
We have cut our EPS estimates by ~5% due to the recent slowdown in domestic
business, likely disruption in the business due to GST and pricing pressure in the
US. We expect company to report CAGR of 15.8% and 15.3% in top line and
bottom line respectively in next two years. The company is expected to witness
improvement in its return ratios owing to the rising profitability of US business.
Moreover Alkem’s all manufacturing facilities are current with USFDA which gives
confidence that company will deliver strong results over next two years.
Considering these factors, we rate Alkem Buy with PT of 2,161 based on 21.5x of
FY19E EPS.
Company background
Alkem Laboratories is a Mumbai based pharma company engaged in
manufacturing and marketing of generic drugs, APIs and neutraceutical products.
Company sells its drugs in India and ~50 countries including the US. It has 16
manufacturing facilities of which 14 are in India and two in the USA.
