Result Update
Q4 driven by exports and domestic specialty
Revenues increased 18% YoY to | 741 crore (I-direct estimate: | 783
crore) on account of 54% YoY growth in the US to | 200 crore.
Domestic formulations grew 10% YoY to | 286 crore (I-direct
estimates: | 304 crore) driven by 13% growth in speciality portfolio
EBITDA margins contracted 471 bps YoY to 18.2% (I-direct estimate:
19.2%) due to higher raw material and employee cost. EBITDA
declined 6% YoY to | 135 crore (I-direct estimate: | 151 crore)
Net profit increased 2% YoY to | 93 crore (I-direct estimate of | 106
crore) mainly due to lower taxation
US key growth driver for generic exports
APL’s exports generic business (52% of FY17 revenues) grew at ~33%
CAGR in FY12-17 to | 1237 crore driven by strong traction in the US (76%
of export sales). The US traction was on the back of consistent product
launches including limited competition products. Despite being a late
entrant, the company has done reasonably well with a product basket of
92 ANDA filings with 40 pending approvals of which ~40% are Para IV
and shared exclusivity filings. The company has already demonstrated
the required capabilities by securing approvals of limited completion
products such as gAbilify (CNS), gExforge (CVS), gCelebrex (Pain) and
gMicardis (CVS). Also, APL now has its own front-end team, which gives
company better control on its product launches. Now, with its front-end
initiatives and six to eight launches every year in the US, we expect US
sales to register a CAGR of 27% in FY17-19E to
| 1470 crore.
Domestic sales growth riding on speciality segment growth
APL’s domestic formulation sales (37% of total revenues) grew at ~10%
CAGR in FY12-17 mainly due to ~17% growth in the speciality segment.
Specialty contribution in the domestic branded space increased to 59% in
FY16 from 44% in FY12. With ~5000 marketing team at its disposal, the
company enjoys a wide reach among doctors. We expect the speciality
segment to grow ~ 20% CAGR in FY17-19E on the back of aggressive
product launches and constant addition of new speciality segments &
sub-segments. Overall, we expect domestic branded formulations to
grow at 13% CAGR in FY17-19E to | 1255 crore.
High capex, R&D to drive long term growth plans
The company has spent more than | 1000 crore in FY16 and FY17 and
also guided for ~| 700 capex for FY 18 for setting up injectable and oral
solid oncology facilities, API capacity ramp-up and to set up a plant under
the Derma JV (orbicular). R&D guidance also sharply increased to | 500
crore i.e. ~14% of sales for FY18, which is one of the highest in the
industry in percentage term. Both heads are likely to witness above-
normal outflows.
R&D, capex benefits back-loaded; maintain HOLD
Base effect of gAbilify weighed on FY17 numbers. The numbers were
further impacted by NLEM and demonetisation impact in the domestic
market. With the announcement of aggressive R&D and capex plans, the
management has signalled the strategy for the next five to six years,
especially on the US front. This includes a foray into niche areas like
oncology, injectables, derma, etc. This, we believe, is fraught with a new
set of challenges and the benefits are most likely to be back-loaded.
Immediate cash-burn is likely to weigh on sentiments in the near term.
We have maintained a target price of | 615 based on 20x FY19E EPS of |
30.6.

Company Analysis
Tracing its roots way back to 1907, the company has remained an active
player in the domestic formulations space with a few legacy brands like
Azithral, Althrocin and Wikoryl in the anti-infective and cough & cold
segments. In 2011, APL was de-merged from Alembic Ltd to give more
thrust to formulations and insulate this business from the vagaries of
commoditised APIs. Formulations account for 80%of the business while
the rest comes from APIs. As of FY17, the domestic: exports formulation
ratio was at 50:50. Consolidated revenues, EBITDA and PAT have grown
at a CAGR of 17%, 37% and 25%, respectively, in FY12-17.
The company’s domestic branded portfolio is gradually shifting to the
speciality business segment, which now accounts for ~55% of domestic
branded formulations in FY17 from 42% in FY11.
Export formulations constitute 39% of revenues (FY17). Of this, ~74% of
export formulations are generics catering to the regulated market of the
US. In these markets, the company has adopted a partnership approach
to push sales. APL owns 52 approved ANDA across US markets, of 95
pending ANDA.
Total revenues grew at 17% CAGR in FY12-17 mainly due to strong
growth in the domestic specialty segment and increased export generic
contributions. We expect domestic growth to continue to be driven by the
specialty segment on the back of new product launches and addition of
new specialty segments/sub-segments. On the export front, the US
remains a key growth driver backed by a healthy product pipeline to
support base business growth. We expect total revenues to grow at 14%
CAGR in FY17-19E to | 4106 crore to be driven by domestic branded
formulations and generic exports formulations.

APL’s FY15 growth in the US was just 11% YoY due to high base, price
erosion in some products and lack of new product approvals. However,
the company started FY16 on a strong footing with approved products
such as gAbilify (~US$5 billion annual sales; ~10% market share),
gExforge (~US$400 million) & gCelebrex (~US$2.4 billion). The company
has launched gAbilify under shared exclusivity. With the assumption of
eight to ten annual product launches, we expect the company to generate
US$35-45 million incremental annual sales from the US, which will
translate into a CAGR of 27% in FY17-19E in the US. We have not
considered any windfall gains like gAbilify in our future projection.

Ex-US export business (~9% of revenues) grew at 23% CAGR in FY12-17.
The environment in Europe remains challenging with tenderisation and
pricing pressure. We expect the company’s ex-US export sales revenue
to grow at 9% CAGR in FY17-19E to | 322 crore on the back of new
product launches.

The company’s generic contribution to total revenues increased to 38% in
FY17 from 18.9% in FY11 on account of incremental US contribution. We
expect the export generic business to grow at a CAGR of 23% in FY17-
19E to | 1793 crore.
Over the years, APL has developed power brands like Azithral and
Althrocin in the anti-infective segment. Historically, the company’s
domestic portfolio was tilted more towards acute therapies, especially the
anti-infective segment. Anti-infective was in fact the identity for APL.
However, most of these products came under price control - some under
DPCO 1990 and more under NLEM 2011 later. Hence, to mitigate the price
control impact, the erstwhile Alembic Ltd acquired the non-oncology
portfolio of Dabur Pharma in 2007. Gradually, the company restricted its
anti-infective focus to key legacy brands and diverted the resources
towards speciality segments. Domestic formulation sales (40% of total
revenues in FY17) grew at 10% CAGR over FY12-17 to | 1255 crore
mainly due to strong growth in the specialty segment. The specialty
portfolio grew at 17% CAGR in FY12-17. At the same time, the anti-
infective segment contribution reduced ~1297 bps, resulting in an
23% CAGR
9% CAGR
ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Page 5
improvement in the acute: speciality ratio to 41:59 in FY17 from 54:46 in
FY12.
With 5000+ MRs at its disposal, the company enjoys a wide reach among
doctors. APL has added ~1000 MRs in the past three years to widen its
focus on the specialty segment by introducing more divisions within
segments. We expect the domestic speciality segment to maintain its
strong growth trajectory backed by its aggressive approach of introducing
new divisions and launching products in existing & new therapeutic areas.
While the acute segment growth is likely to recover, it would remain in
single digits in the near future. We expect domestic branded formulations
to grow at a CAGR of 14% to | 1509 crore in FY17-19E.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths- Speciality focus in domestic market, high operating margins,
high return ratios and US pipeline
Weakness- Relatively late US entrant, still higher presence of acute
therapies in the domestic branded formulations
Opportunities- The US generics space
Threats - Increased USFDA scrutiny across the globe regarding cGMP
issues, pricing pressure due to client consolidation in the US, pricing
probe by the Department of Justice (DoJ) in the US, proposed tightening
by the new regime by adapting to the bidding process and imposition of
border adjustment tax on imported drugs in the US. Also, extension of
NLEM product list may impact domestic branded formulations.

Conference call Highlights
The capex for FY17 stood at | 478 crore and the company has
guided for | 700 crore of capex in FY18 (inclusive of maintenance
capex of ~| 200 crore). FY18 would see capex on new
formulations plant (for the US market) and some capacity
expansion.
The company incurred | 113 crore on R&D in Q4FY17 and has
provided for R&D guidance of | 500 crore in FY18.
The oncology facility for oral and injectable formulations is
expected to be ready for exhibit batches by H1FY18 and general
injectable and derma facilities will be ready by H2FY18. Work
could also commence for new oral solid dosage facility in FY18
The company has filed 10 ANDAs during Q4FY17 and
cumulatively 25 ANDAs for FY17. The management expects 20-30
ANDA filing for FY18
Bioequivalence facility was inspected during the quarter without

Valuation
Base effect of gAbilify weighed on FY17 numbers. The numbers were
further impacted by NLEM and demonetisation impact in the domestic
market. With the announcement of aggressive R&D and capex plans, the
management has signalled the strategy for the next five to six years,
especially on the US front. This includes a foray into niche areas like
oncology, injectables, derma, etc. This, we believe, is fraught with a new
set of challenges and the benefits are most likely to be back-loaded.
Immediate cash-burn is likely to weigh on sentiments in the near term.
We have maintained a target price of | 615 based on 20x FY19E EPS of |
30.6.
