Outlook and valuation: We estimate the company’s net sales to log a 12.5%
CAGR over FY2015–17E to Rs17,162cr on back of US formulations, which will be
supplemented through the recent acquisitions of the Western European
formulation businesses of Actavis and US’ Natrol. The acquisitions have also led
APL to become a >~US$2bn sales company, with ~80% of sales being
accounted by formulations. We recommend an Accumulate on the stock.
