Continued price erosion and competition led to muted growth in Q2FY18

The company has posted muted growth with a marginal growth of 1.8% Q-o-Q and degrowth of 8% Y-O-Y due to high base business in FY17 which had higher revenues from its gGlumetza and gFortamet drugs which had a 180 days exclusivity in the US. We expect Lupin to post healthy revenues on the back of strong growth from its domestic and its Ex-US business.

North America’s business continues to see pressure: The North America’s business has witnessed declining growth with sales at INR 13,611 Mn in Q2FY18 with a degrowth of 32% Y-o-Y and 15% Q-o-Q due to high base in FY17 and additional competition in Minastrin. The Company launched 5 products in the US market during the quarter making the total to 147 products in the US generics market. Going ahead, we expect the US price erosion to be in range of 8-9% on the base business. The US business will continue to see pressure due to increasing competition, channel consolidation ,appreciating Rupee and base business erosion.

Japan continues to grow well: The acquired brands from Shionogi performed well which led to increase in Japan’s revenues from INR 4,935 in Q1FY18 to INR 4,898 in Q1FY18. Going ahead, we expect Japan revenues to deliver a growth of 16% in FY18 due to increasing market penetration of Shionogi brands.

Domestic business grew strongly post GST: Domestic business of the company has outperformed the industry growth on high single digit and has posted robust sales of INR 11,593 registering Q-o-Q growth of 24.3% and Y-o-Y growth of 16.4%. The company has made additional product launches which has helped to boost the revenues. We expect the domestic business of the company to grow 15% on Y-o-Y basis.

Lupin Ltd. Valuations & Views: We believe in Lupin’s growth story led by its unique offerings of specialty drugs and biosimilar. We expect Lupin to deliver robust growth on the back of its exclusive products and complex generics which are limited competition products. The domestic and Ex-US business will also grow strongly. We believe that from FY19 Lupin will pick up its growth momentum on the back of approvals and launch of limited competition products in the market. The company has a basket of total 152 US ANDA out of which 49 are first to file and 25 are exclusive in nature. The company plans to launch Axiron, hydrocodone, Tamilfu, levothyroxine in FY19 which will give a boost to sales. The company is developing Enbrel (etarnacept) which is currently in Phase III and Lupin plans to file it in FY19 in Japan and later in Europe. Lupin has an exhaustive pipeline of DPI inhalers and complex generics which has a huge market size. These opportunities will give an escalated growth trend to the company’s revenues and will give a boost to the topline in long run. Going ahead, we believe the topline to deliver a Y-o-Y growth of 12% with sales at INR 203,391 mn in FY19 and EBITDA at INR 50,297 with margins at 24.7%. At the CMP of INR 1,027 Lupin is trading at an EPS of INR 66 for FY19E, we recommend ‘BUY’ rating on the stock, with a target price of INR 1,187 that offers a potential upside of 15.7%.

•Management expects that there will be high single digit price erosion in the US which will impact the revenues. The pricing pressure in the US and competition from McKesson and Walmart is going to affect the business adversely. However, the entry of Amazon will be a positive surprise as the number of buyers will increase.

•The company will maintain its R&D spend to INR 2000 Mn i.e approx of INR 500 Mn per quarter in order to grow and fund its ongoing clinical trials. The company has cut down its R&D spend without compromising its ongoing trials.

•The company expects India business to grow at 15% on Y-o-Y basis.

•The company has 154 pending ANDA filings which has a target market size of USD 76 bn. Out of these 154 ANDA, 45 are first to file and 11 are exclusive in nature.
