Brief Overview

Square Pharmaceuticals Limited (SPL) is leading the Pharmaceuticals sector from the very beginning.

DPL grow as pharmaceutical industry matured and yet today it is one of the fastest growing sectors of

the country with a growth rate close to 15%. The positives that differentiate is the market leader; it

controls approximately 20% of the market share. Second, the company is about to enter the

European market by next year. Third it has a large and diversified portfolio of investment and

businesses that gives it very sustainable earnings. Strong brand image, a large distribution network,

large product portfolio and creative marketing make us optimistic about the future potential of the

company. Therefore, we recommend BUY with a December 2009 target price of BDT 4925.

• The pharmaceuticals market is an Oligopoly in nature despite the presence of more than 250

companies. The top 15 players control around 73% of the market share.

• Though the sector is reaching maturity as indicated by the stable sales growth for last few

years. However, new opportunities of export are opening up and 3 year CAGR of revenue was

15%.

• Attainment of the UK MHRA certification for its manufacturing plant and opening of many new

markets within next year, as stated by company officials, convinced both the analysts of

booming growth for coming years.

• Our DDM model gives us a fair value of BDT 4,925 for December 2009 whereas our PE based

relative valuation technique gives us BDT 3,971 for the same period. On the other hand when

we value SPL by using the sum of the parts, we arrive at a value of BDT 6,332 for December

2009. Considering the assumption and market perception we back the DDM approach and our

bet is that SPL stock will reach a price of 4,925 by December 2009.

Macro Analysis 

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit most of the developed world will be in recession in 2009. The global economy will grow by 2.6% (on a purchasing power parity, or PPP, basis), the slowest pace since 2002. The big industrialized countries will expand by a mere 0.3% in 2009, while developing-world growth will slip to 5.9%, a full percentage point lower than in 2008. World trade will increase by 3% in 2009, a third of the rate in 2006. Trade growth in emerging markets will be healthier, at 8-9%, but this is not entirely good news: emerging Asia’s openness to trade will leave it exposed to the downturn in the wealthier countries. South-east Asia will be hurt by a lacklustre euro zone and will feel some of the pain from the downturn in the United States. Weaker global demand will push commodity prices lower, including oil. As China and India slow infrastructure spending, commodities like cement, iron, and steel’s price will fall. The US and European central banks will cut interest rates as economies slide and inflation recedes. With more than half a trillion dollars of assets already written off by global banks, a return to normal credit conditions remains far away.

In the health frontier, Rapid urbanisation and a growth in sedentary living are helping to drive epidemics in diabetes and cardiovascular complaints across Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. India, for example, will have more than 30m diabetes sufferers in 2009, the most of any country. That number is expected to more than double in the next 20 years. China, in a different illness, is estimated to have more than 100m hypertension sufferers, with 3m new cases expected each year.

The average life expectancy of a woman in 2009 will be 75 years for the first time in history. Men will reach a life expectancy of 70 two years later. Recession or no, global health-care spending will expand in 2009 as longer lived consumers place a premium on having the latest therapies or drugs. In the developing world, the swelling ranks of the middle class will increase demand for pharmaceuticals, while rising government-provided benefits for the elderly will ensure continued growth of the sector. Health-care spending per head will rise by 4.3% in 2009 and pharmaceutical spending by 7.2%. Total drug sales will be worth $1.2trn in 2012. The explosion in the amount of chronic disease in the developing world will push down the cost per treatment.

• The political scene will remain unsettled during the early part of 2009. The general election is

expected to be held in December 2008. The electoral reforms have been completed. However, the timing of the poll could be delayed by a few months at the most, as the EC attempts to complete all the preparations set out in the election roadmap. Assuming that an election is held and that all the parties take part, it is likely to be a contest between the two long-established rivals, the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. However, tensions could escalate if the caretaker government goes ahead with the formation of a National Security Council, which could give the army a bigger role in politics than was the case before the imposition of emergency law in early 2007. From the early perception by the international media Awami League could win the election.

• The biggest risk to political stability centres on the timing of the next general election. Given the huge task of holding civic elections and local government elections before setting a date for the parliamentary poll, there are concerns that all the preparations may not be completed in time for a general election to be held by end-2008. A sustained campaign of violence by any of the numerous militant groups in Bangladesh would constitute another threat to political stability. Although the leading figures in two of the country's four main banned militant groups have been executed, huge networks of full-time and part-time activists remain intact.

• Relations with India are expected to improve during the forecast period. High-ranking officials from Bangladesh and India have agreed to co-operate on a range of economic and security issues, and this process is expected to continue in 2008-12.

• Economic policy in the forecast period will focus on continued economic liberalisation, although progress will be slow. Bangladesh will seek to attract foreign direct investment, particularly in the textile industry. Efforts to diversify the tax base and to improve revenue collection will achieve some success. Demand for energy will continue to outstrip supply, but the situation should improve slightly from end-2008, as new power plants come on stream.

• Real GDP growth will average 6.2% a year in 2008-12, driven largely by strong private consumption and gross fixed investment expansion. The economy will remain dependent on both the agricultural sector—which provides the main stimulus to private consumption—and the textile industry, which accounts for the country's largest category of exports. Record inflows of expatriate workers' remittances will ensure that the current-account deficit as a proportion of GDP will stay below 1% during the forecast period.

Outlook for 2008-09

• The Economist Intelligence Unit expects the budget deficit in fiscal year 2008/09 (July-June) to rise to the equivalent of 5.2% of GDP, compared with the official target of 5% in the 2008/09 budget.

• Real GDP is expected to grow by 6% in 2008/09, driven by strong household spending and investment.

• Consumer price inflation is expected to remain high over the forecast period, averaging 8.2% in 2008 and 8.8% in 2009.

• The trade deficit is expected to swell to record levels in 2008-09 as demand for industrial raw materials strengthen and international oil prices stay high.

The Global Financial Crisis: The consequences of the ongoing global financial crisis for the Bangladesh economy are too early to predict with a measure of reliability; much will depend on how the crisis evolves and unravels in the near term. Three possible scenarios could unfold, though, with the implication for economies such as that of Bangladesh depending on the width and depth of the crisis. In the first scenario, the crisis leads to a slowdown in global economy but is followed by a quick upturn. The financial rescue packages start to work and the developed country economies get back to their recent growth trends. The second scenario could be a recession lasting for 1-2 years with negative to zero growth rates. This would result in sluggish demand and higher rates of unemployment in developed economies. The third scenario could be one where recession develops into depression, lasting for 3-4 years, with negative growth rates, high unemployment in developed countries, and a drastic fall in effective demand. This is likely to have dire global repercussions. Impact on and implications for Bangladesh economy will critically hinge on which particular scenario actually emerges from the current crisis. Anything bordering the third scenario will have adverse consequences for economies such as Bangladesh, while even the second scenario is likely to be detrimental to the interests of Bangladesh economy in FY09.

There are several transmission mechanisms through which global financial crisis could impact on the Bangladesh economy. Exports, although earnings posted a very high growth in July, 2008, could slow down in the face of sluggish demand in the developed country markets which account for four-fifths of Bangladesh’s global exports. Anecdotal information from apparels exporters indicate some slowdown in order placement, although it is still not clear whether it is cyclical, seasonal or is originating from the expected sluggish

consumer demand in developed countries. In general, low-priced, mass-produced items, where Bangladesh is most strong, are not affected by economic slowdown in developed market since income elasticity of such items tends to be very low. Economic slowdown could even induce some shift in demand from the middle-segment of the market to the lower-end (the so-called Wal-Mart effect). Indeed, Wal-Mart sales went up by about 3 per cent in August 2008. However, a tightening of apparels price is to be expected, with major buyers putting pressure on exporters to reduce their price offers. Additionally, WTO negotiations could be adversely affected because of the global crisis and initiatives such as the DF-QF market access for LDCs may not witness much progress. Developed countries could become more protective. Initiatives such as the New Partnership for Development Act (NPDA 2007) could become victims of the crisis.

Remittance flow, three-fourth of which comes from the Middle-Eastern countries, could be affected if there is a recession in developed economy with knock-on effect on investment flow to the region. Commodity prices are coming down already; any economic slowdown could lead to further fall in prices. This should benefit commodity dependent Bangladesh and have positive impact on the inflationary situation in the economy.

The challenge will be to identify an optimal strategy to pass on the benefits to the long suffering consumers. Evidently, in case of commodities such as fuel cross-subsidisation considerations (between octane, petrol, diesel and kerosene) will be required.

Bangladesh’s share market is not exposed to global capital flows to any large extent (only about 2.5 per cent in the context of market capitalisation of about USD14.0 billion). However, the continuing need for strengthening of the oversight function of SEC should not be undermined.

Whilst the ongoing crisis sends a cautionary note with regard to risky and foreign currency denominated derivatives, opportunities to attract portfolio investment to Bangladesh’s share market should not be left unattended, and will need to be explored and exploited.

Monetary Policy..In view of the global financial crisis, in addition to the already high inflation rate, Bangladesh will need to face the challenge of following a monetary policy which can ensure adequate liquidity in the banks and generate economic activities in order to alleviate poverty and accelerate economic development. The MPS of the BB for the period July-December 2008 “aims at using the monetary policy for ensuring reasonable price stability essential to sustaining high economic growth, shielding the economy from global price and financial turbulences and downside risks, and tapping new upside opportunities” (Monetary Policy Statement, Bangladesh Bank, July 2008). As a response to the current financial crisis the BB has been pursuing an accommodative policy in view of domestic and global economic developments, and has resisted the repetitive suggestion of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to raise interest rate and follow a contractionary monetary policy. It is expected that the BB will follow an independent monetary policy to control inflation and stimulate investment as always, keeping in view the domestic and global realities.

However, in very recent times, the BB has raised the repo rate to somewhat discourage credit expansion (from 8.50 per cent in August, 2008 to 8.60 per cent in September 2008. Reverse repo rate has been changed to 6.75 percent from 6.50 per cent). Striking a balance between high inflation and interest rate has always been a challenge for the BB while devising a monetary policy. The long term interest rates have either declined or remained the same over the years. For example, interest rates on 5-year and 10-year Bangladesh Government

Treasury Bond (BGTB) have declined, while the interest rate on National Savings Directorate (NSD) certificates remained same in June 2008, compared to December 2007 (Table 3.1). This implies that the real rate of interest (RRI) has declined in the face of high inflation.

M2.There has been an upward trend in case of Broad Money Supply (M2) during the FY08. M2 has posted a rise of 18.64 per cent as of end July 2008 compared to July 2006. This growth has been due to growth in the domestic credit by 21.61 per cent during July 2007 and July 2008. Due to increased remittance flow, Net Foreign Assets (NFA) has continued to increase in recent times. During July 2007 and July 2008, NFA increased by 13.98 per cent. Net Domestic Assets (NDA) has also experienced an increase of 19.51 per cent during July 2007 and July 2008. This constant growth in the money supply is a sign of the economic expansion the country is

witnessing for some years. Inflation..The annual average rate of inflation (12-month annual average CPI, 1995-96 = 100) increased to 10.00 per cent in August, 2008 from 7.78 per cent in August, 2007. The increasing trend continued till March, 2008 when it reached 10.0 per cent. Then it started declining in September. Inflation dropped drastically on October due to adequate supply of boro and aus rice in the market following a bumper harvest. The overall inflation rate on a point-to-point basis dropped by 2.93% point to 7.26% in October as price of both food and non-food items fell. Inflation on food items fell 3.99% and on non-food items it fell 1.24%. Interest rate..In view of high spread between lending and borrowing rates, interest rate has been a contentious issue as far as business and banking community were concerned. The BB has already directed the major commercial banks to reduce the interest rate spread and reduce their lending rates. The lending rate (calculated on a quarterly basis) of scheduled banks was 12.29 per cent in June, 2008 as compared to 12.75 per cent in December, 2007. Their deposit rate (also calculated on a quarterly basis) stood higher at 6.95 per cent in June, 2008 as compared to 6.77 per cent in December 2007 (Table 3.9

and Figure 3.8).

Exchange Rate..The exchange rate between Bangladesh Taka (BDT) and US Dollar (USD) has remained stable for the last one year or so. This is because of the introduction of floating exchange rate in 2003 to contain fluctuations of Taka against foreign currencies, particularly the US Dollar. During August, 2007 and August, 2008, Taka appreciated slightly by 0.26 per cent. At the end of August, 2008 Taka per USD decreased to Tk.68.52 from Tk.68.70 at the end of August, 2007. Taka depreciated against Euro by 7.38 per cent in August, 2008 compared to August, 2007. However, very recently taka is appreciating against

Balance of Payments.. Bangladesh’s external sector was in tight situation in FY08, with export earnings of USD13.94 billion and import payments exceeding USD19.48 billion in the FY08. However, July FY09 experienced an improvement in trade balance in comparison to July of the last fiscal (In July FY08, trade balance was USD507 million whereas in FY09 it came down to USD342 million). Trade balance recorded a larger deficit of USD5541 million in FY08 compared to the deficit of USD3458 million in FY07. However, balance on the

current account recorded a surplus of USD672 million in FY08 against the surplus of USD936 million during FY07, mainly thanks to a larger current transfer of USD8743 million. There was surplus in current account in July FY09 (USD269 million) in the backdrop of negative balance in the corresponding month of the last fiscal year (USD130 million). This surplus mainly originated from private transfers in the form of worker’s remittances which was USD7915 million in FY08 with a robust growth of 32.38 per cent against USD5979 million in FY07. The growth of workers’ remittances also continued in July FY09 (USD821 million) compared to the corresponding period of July FY08 (USD567 million). The overall balance also showed a surplus of USD604 million during FY08 against the surplus of USD1493 million during FY07 due to surplus in current account and capital account of USD672 million and USD576 million respectively (Table 5.5). Overall surplus balance was registered in the first month (July) of FY09 (USD178 million) against the surplus of USD161 million in July of FY08.

Capital Market.. Stock market indicators rose in the first quarter of FY2009, after which they started declining. The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) general index reached 2,966.8 points at the end of September 2008, a rise of 7.5% from July. The DSE general index then dropped by 7.4% in October. Although the share of foreign portfolio investment in the country’s stock market is small and the global financial crisis is not expected to have significant effects on the domestic stock market, the downward movements in share prices were likely caused by market speculation and selling pressures from nervous retail investors. DSE market capitalization reached Tk1,068 billion, increasing by 10.1% from July 2008 to September 2008; however, it declined to Tk1013 billion in October 2008. Similar trends were observed at the Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE), the country’s other stock exchange. The CSE selective categories index rose to 5,892.7 in September 2008 from 5,517.5 in July 2008, a rise of 6.8%; while market capitalization rose by 7.5% during the same period. However, in October, the CSE selective categories index declined by 7.3%. Both the DSE and CSE indexes continued to fall and reached 2,584.02 and 5,164.21 points respectively on 9 November 2008, representing decline of 12.9% and 12.4%

respectively from September 2008.

With respect to IPOs, the number of companies that floated their shares in FY08 were 12, which was 2 more compared to the previous fiscal year. However, total issued shares, sponsors’ part, and public offer etc. in FY08 were not found to be very promising for potential investors. Oversubscription in the context of IPOs had made the share of public offer to decrease by about 49 per cent. In case of 9 upcoming IPOs (four from insurance and one each from leasing, housing finance, textile, iron steel and ICD) public offering as percentage of total shares was found to be low (22 per cent of total shares vis-a-vis 37 per cent in FY08) which is a matter of concern for small scale investors

Industry Analysis: • With a USD 600mn industry and an average annual growth rate of 12%, the Bangladeshi

pharmaceutical industry is the biggest (in volume) amongst all the LDCs. • Primarily a generics industry producing about 8,000 different brands which meet 97% of the

domestic demand. Local companies enjoy 86% market share. Of the 245 registered pharmaceuticals, the top ten players account for 65% market share.

• According to the WTO TRIPS agreement, LDC’s are exempted from “Patent Protection” until 2016 allowing legal reverse engineering and sale of patented products. This provides a unique opportunity for Bangladesh over India and China, who are under the patent regime.

• Bangladesh has made significant progress in the export market. Between 2003 and 2006 pharmaceutical exports increased to about 61 countries from 51 and quadrupled in value from USD 7.9mn to USD 36.5mn.

• Since many companies have acquired international certifications like USFDA, UKMHRA and TGA, Bangladesh can penetrate into regulated and unregulated markets.

Industry grew by 41.8% over last 3 years. The Pharmaceutical Sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in Bangladesh. In 2007 the Bangladesh pharmaceutical market was worth nearly USD 600mn and it is growing at a steady average rate of 11.57% over the last five years. The last three years has seen an average growth rate of 13.7% and the last year alone has given an impressive growth rate of 15.8%. The Pharmaceutical Sector is the second highest contributor to the National Ex-Chequer and the largest White Collar Labor intensive employment sector of the country. The growth of the industry is depicted in the table below.

The Bangladeshi Pharmaceutical Market is primarily a generic market producing both patented and off-patented products. This is popularly known as Branded Generic Market since any manufacturer can produce the same molecule (either patented or off-patented) and market it in different brand names. There are currently 450 generics registered in Bangladesh, out of which 117 are in the controlled category i.e. in the essential drug list. The remaining 333 generics are in the decontrolled category. The total number of brands that are registered in Bangladesh are currently estimated to be 5,300, while the total number of dosage forms & strengths are 8,300 and cover all the important groups. Local manufacturers hold over 86% market share whereas only 13% share is held by the MNCs. Out of the top ten players in the market, nine are local pharmaceutical companies, with Snaofi-Aventis as the only MNC. The top two domestic manufacturers, namely Square and Beximco Pharmaceuticals have a cumulative market share of over 27%, while the top five have a market share of 44.5% and the top ten domestic manufacturers contribute about 64% of the total pharmaceutical market of Bangladesh.

Square Pharmaceuticals is also the market leader in terms of the number of products manufactured. Companies like Square, Beximco and Incepta continue to mark their strong presence by being in the top 5 with Opsonin posing a strong presence at the 3rd position. Many smaller local companies like Gaco Pharmaceuticals, produce quite a large number of drugs without making much revenue enough to challenge the top 10.

The graph and table below show the sales values and the market shares of the top 10 brands in the market. As expected, the top brand is a drug concerning the alimentary disease class. Consistently

enough, Square and Beximco play a vital and predominant role. Although Square is the market leader in terms of market share, “Neoceptin”, a product of Beximco is the market leader in terms of brands. The Export Story.. The history of pharmaceutical exports from Bangladesh dates back to the late 80's. At that point, only one or two major pharmaceutical companies of Bangladesh took proactive efforts to initiate export. These companies on their own initiative started exporting their bulk drugs as well as finished formulations to some of the less-regulated overseas markets like Myanmar, Vietnam and Nepal. After being successful in these less-regulated markets, in the early 90's, a few companies of Bangladesh took the initiative to explore some of the moderately regulated markets like Russia, Ukraine and Singapore.

Today, Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Industry is exporting its quality products to around 65 countries of the world and the volume of exports has more than quadrupled from around USD 8 million to almost USD 36 million in the last 4 years.

Bangladesh has made significant progress in the export market. Between 2003 and 2006 pharmaceutical exports increased to about 61 countries from 51 and quadrupled in value from USD 7.9 million to USD 36.5 million thus resulting in an average annual growth rate of 91.8%. This growth in the export can be largely credited to the low-cost factors of production that exist in Bangladesh in the form of low labor, infrastructure and power costs. Bangladesh exports a wide range of pharmaceutical products covering all major therapeutic classes and dosage forms. Besides the regular brands, Bangladesh exports high-tech specialized products like inhalers, suppositories, nasal sprays, sustained release products, etc. Apart from overseas retail customers, Bangladesh has also been supplying to world-renowned hospitals and institutions like Raffles Hospital, Singapore, KK Women & Children Hospital, Singapore, Healthway Medical Group, Singapore, Jinnah hospital, Pakistan, Aga Khan Hospital, Pakistan, Mission for Essential Drugs (MEDs), Kenya and State Pharmaceutical Corporation (SPC), Sri Lanka. The quality and efficacy of the products being exported from Bangladesh have been well accepted by the doctors, chemists, patients and regulatory bodies of all the importing countries. The packaging and presentation of the products of Bangladesh are comparable to any international standards; in fact, they have been highly appreciated internationally. At present, Bangladesh imports over 80% of the local API requirement. Even though, a number of 21 local pharmaceutical companies are producing 41 APIs for pharmaceutical products. Bangladesh currently has the capacity of producing APIs worth of USD 29.7 million.

Porter’s Five Forces Analysis of the Industry

Substitute HighThe 245 companies have 5,300 brands many firms offering similar products and services because of the absence of patent protection. Cost of switching is relatively low.

Suppliers Strong Currently only 20% of the API are produced internally the rest are imported. Too small size of the most of the players makes it unattractive for investment in API production.

Entry HardA capital intensive industry requiring huge fixed costs in machinery and extensive R&D Government policy makes it hard for the MNCs to enter the market. 

Rivalry IntenseAbout 245 firms operate with only 5 MNCs. Top 10 players hold about 64% of the total market. Square and Beximco together holds 25% market

Buyer Strong Due to restriction on direct promotion of drugs cos’ have to market through key opinion leader i.e. the doctors by inducing them to suggest a particular drug. This often results in unfair practice.

Europe: Germany, Kosovo, Romania, Russia, Ukraine South America: Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador Square plans to penetrate into the developed nations with its exports in the future. API Scenario The Pharmaceutical Bulk Manufacturing Plant: • Established in 1992 and commercial production started in 1995. • It is the one of the largest manufacturers of pharmaceutical bulk products in Bangladesh. • It is well equipped with modern machinery. • It has got the feasibility of reverse engineering of bulk drug under post WTO scenario. Square is presently the largest quality-bulk drugs manufacturer in the country. Until 1996 it was involved only for the internal consumption of Square Pharma. Since 1997 it started marketing the API to all top local pharmaceuticals like Aventis Pharma, Novartis Bangladesh Ltd., Glaxo Smith Kline, ACI Ltd., Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd., etc.

SWOT Analysis of Square Pharmaceutical Ltd:

Has own API plant whereas 80% of the industry’s API requirement is imported.

SPL is planning to capitalize on TRIPS and about to enter in to Europe Market.

Received the UK MHRA certification for its manufacturing plant and waiting to enter the European market in the next year.

Square enjoys 18% of the market, making it the biggest player in the market

Strong brand image, quality of products, the largest distribution network in the country and doctors’ level marketing

SPL is the only pharmaceutical company in Bangladesh that has the largest investment portfolio in different businesses and subsidiaries. For example, Square Spinning Mills Ltd (SCL) contributes 14% of SPL’s revenue.

SPL has the largest product portfolio comprising of more than 430 products. So far in 2007, 17 new products have already been introduced.

The pharmaceuticals market is an Oligopoly innature despite the presence of more than 250companies.

Given the country's lack of spending power, thepharmaceutical market remains tiny in comparisonwith the population size. Pharmaceutical spending isamongst the lowest in the world in per capita terms.Healthcare expenditure consists of only 3.4% ofGDP.

R&D activities of the company have to be improvedif it wants to compete with global players.

Square’s textiles subsidiaries seem not to be addingvalue; rather they are taking value away from thepharmaceutical business.

The market is dominated by cheap, locally producedgeneric drugs used for the treatment or preventionof basic illnesses. Therefore major revenue sourcescome from antibiotics, vitamins, pain-killers andanti-asthma drugs.

Industries in Bangladesh including some world classmanufacturing industries that are providing 97% ofthe total medicine requirement of the local market.

The industry is worth USD 593 mn, which grew by41.3% in the last 3 years. It has enjoyed an averagegrowth of 12% for last 5 years.

Local companies and MNCs together meet 95% ofthe country’s drug demand but the localmanufacturers dominate the industry; they enjoyapproximately 87% of market share,

Low presence of the MNC, there are only 5 big MNCsoperating in the market.

More than 97% of sales revenue comes from thelocal market. Bangladesh is the 7th most populatedcountry with a population base of 150m. With theprevalence of diseases, Bangladesh ranks 167 in theworld in terms of life expectancy at birth.

As per TRIPS/WTO agreements only 50 LDCsincluding Bangladesh will be able to export theirpatented drugs. Among the 50 LDCs, Bangladesh isthe only country which has a strong manufacturingbase for pharmaceuticals and is therefore in a uniqueposition to exploit this opportunity.

Bangladesh Govt. declare this Sector as “ThirstSector” for 2006-2009 & EPZ declares as the “ExportProduct of the year 2007”

Between 2003 and 2006 pharmaceutical exportsincreased to about 61 countries from 51 andquadrupled in value from USD 7.9 million to USD36.5 million thus resulting in an average annualgrowth rate of 91.8%.

Price Hike of Raw materials.

Recently few new industries have been established with hi tech equipments and professionals

Patent Law, which is valid up to 2016 for Least Developed Countries like Bangladesh.

Lack of Hi tech Quality control Laboratory, establishment of API Park by the Govt, necessary action for Process Loss of API by the Govt.  

After 2016 the advantage enjoyed by Bangladesh will evaporate.

Company Valuation

Our analysis of the square pharmaceutical limited (SPL) is based on Present value of cash flow, (PVCF) and Relative Valuation techniques.

In the PVCF approach, we estimate the value of the stock through estimation of future dividend (D), and free cash flow to equity (FCFE) based on future growth rate (g) and required rate of return (k). This section discusses the underlying assumptions behind the estimations and lists the final result.

Estimation of Financial Statements On basis of historical data, macro-analysis, and company information, projected balance sheet and income statement for SPL has been prepared. The complete balance sheet has been included in the appendix-2: Financial Statements-Historical & Estimated, with the assumptions and rational governing the projection. Required rate of return Risk free Rate is calculated on basis of Bangladesh Government Treasury bond rate that equals to 10.6%. As the analysts consider an investment time frame of 5 years, they believe the 5 year BGTB rate should be the base to estimate required rate of return instead of the 91-days T-bill rate. BGTB rate is inflation-adjusted so no estimation of inflation has been done. Stock market return from 2003-2008 with conjunction of SPL return been used to estimate the risk premium of SPL and market return which is average of return annual return from 2003-08, is 0.38

Dividend discount Model

Dividend estimation:

Historical data indicates a compound annual growth rate of -7.0%, however the dividend and net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) of Square pharma has a negative correlation of 0.6. As square pharma is investing heavily on fixed assed (Fixed asset CAGR for the period is 30%), it paid lesser dividend.

We depend on the total dividend paid by the pharma industry to estimate the dividend to be paid by SPL instead of historical data or NOPAT. Our assumption is justified as correlation coefficient between dividend paid by SPL & total Pharma industry is about 90%. And it has been found that the dividend paid by SPL vary around 23 to 25 percent of total dividend paid by the industry, however last year the dividend come down to 12% of industry dividend. We consider three different views-pessimistic, average and optimistic, to determine the dividend paid by SPL on basis of total dividend paid in Pharma industry.

Total dividend to be paid by pharmaceuticals is correlated to GDP measured at market price. A correlation factor of 73% has been found between the two and for the last five years, the correlation coefficient stood at 85% the total dividend paid by the Pharmaceutical is about 10% of GDP. For estimated GDP growth rate, we consider the forecast of Intelligence unit of Economist group,

Growth rate has been estimated using historical data that included two approach-using average compound growth rate, and use of Retention rate (RR) & Return on Equity (ROE). From dividend estimation, we saw, the CAGR approach provides an unacceptable result. However, from ROE and RR, we find better estimation of growth rate.

Growth Rate gDividend(Historical) 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008

Payout Ratio 27.46% 25.98% 26.49% 31.96% 22.87% 25.89% ROE 21.00% 23.00% 25.00% 19.00% 19.00% 18.00% Growth Rate, g=RRXROE 15.60% 17.00% 18.20% 13.30% 14.60% 13.00%

We believe, the dividend growth rate will pick up with opening up of new export destination in European market. However, due to political instability and global financial turmoil, which hopefully will not affect pharmaceutical, we are little pessimistic. And our final standpoint is that if everything goes normal, the growth rate will rise while if things go wrong the growth rate will stumble and might come below 10%. For past data we estimate the growth rate will be around a constant figure for three years in a row. Value/Output

Analysts believe from discussion with company insiders and business performance that dividend payment will be as usual and the company will grow at moderate rate. Hence our bet is on BDT 4925BDT for SPL stock.

Though our historical data differ from that of DSE reporting, we have continued with our calculation as we don’t know the assumptions and process DSE adopted to calculate P/E. From the historical data we project the P/E for SPL is likely to vary from 30 to 25. Value/Output 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Earnings per Share 106 126 146 153 180 Price Earnings Ratio

Final value of SPL stock We applied DDM, FCFE, and Earning multiplier approach to determine the value of SPL stock. The DDM is based on GDP while FCFE is based projected financial statement of the company that requires estimation of revenue and expense based on macro analysis. Earning multiplier approach based P/E ration that is pivoted on industry analysis and in depth study of the company. After a close look of the values that we obtain, we can discard some findings as those refer some unrealistic situation like paying a dividend that is more than industry average in a low growth situation. And our final valuation from three different approaches is listed below. All the approaches indicate a buy decision. Though we believe from our market perception, a value of 6,332 is unlikely. Hence our final stand is that SPL stock price will be and should be BDT 4,925 by then end of 2000. And ee are recommending BUY as the analysis show the stock is undervalued by 1526 BDT on average considering latest market price of 2885 BDT (Close of Dec 4, 2008).
