“The Story of

THE CHINESE BAMBOO…”

Page 2: Indian Markets-The Story of Chinese Bamboo - Oct13.pdf

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet” - Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Philosopher & Writer

The Chinese bamboo tree tests our patience... If you plant the seed of a Chinese bamboo tree, you will have nothing to show for in the first four years – just a tiny sampling – in spite of your best efforts. Then, sometime in the fifth year, to everyone’s surprise, the tree sprouts and grows NINETY feet in SIX weeks! In the first four years, the tiny sampling was actually developing its root system underground to sustain its impending overground growth fifth year onwards. If you had uprooted the sampling to see why it was not growing, it would die. But if you were patient and had faith, you would witness the miraculous growth later on. Many a times, Investing in equities is a similar game of patience. But to get the plant, first you need to plant the seed.

“It is patently foolish to forget to plant in the spring, take off all summer and then cram in the fall to bring in the harvest” – Dr. Stephen Covey

The current flurry of announcements by the government reminds us of the farmer who is trying hard to reap in the harvest (last year of the term), when in fact he forgot to plant in the spring (policy inaction in 2nd and 3rd year of the term). The results are not surprising – not only is the economic slowdown reflecting in the lag indicators such as GDP growth, but they can worsen further, if the lead indicators are extrapolated. However, in spite of government and regulators making several policy announcements to calm the markets and soothe frayed nerves of investors, we feel the present crop has gone waste and the time has come to be ready for a new season. 1991....2013....same old same old The recent sharp depreciation of INR (worst level of Rs68.8/USD) and declining forex reserves ($276bn as of Sep 27th or 7 months import cover) have evoked faint memories of the Balance of Payment crisis of 1991. The factors leading upto the crisis are similar – high structural current deficit (then funded by government borrowing, now by FII flows), inelastic imports, steadily rising fiscal deficit (fiscal profligacy) and delay by government in acknowledging the crisis – evoke a sense of déjà vu. 1991 : The worst of times....and the best of times Although 1991 was a dark episode in India’s economic history (India forced to pledge gold to borrow), the crisis also forced India to embrace a new economic model. Reluctantly and haltingly, Indian economy opened to rest of the world, domestic business environment changed. In hindsight the turmoil of 1991 laid the foundation for the subsequent ‘India’ growth story.

Indian Markets: The Chinese Bamboo story

Page 3: Indian Markets-The Story of Chinese Bamboo - Oct13.pdf

The old economy gave way to emergence of new sectors and new leaders emerged. Unpredictably, sectors like IT and Telecom rapidly emerged, driven by several hitherto undiscovered factors – a large, educated, English speaking workforce (IT sector) and the unmet potential demand for easy, instant and affordable communication (Telecom sector). 2013: The worst of (recent) times....can it also be the best? Notwithstanding the fact that current slowdown is partly the handiwork of government inaction, we believe that the reforms of 1991 have had their run and even without policy paralysis of past few years, it would have been difficult to wring incrementally more growth. It is time to introduce India to a new set of ground breaking reforms. The current slowdown has indicated how the government can be pressed into taking the same decisions quickly it would otherwise arrive at after prolonged discourse and delay. Key reforms already underway....expect benefits to materialise in the long term Just like 1991, many of current policy benefits will be visible only in the long run. The Direct Cash Transfer mechanism can potentially reduce wastage of subsidies and hence burden on fiscal budgets, better targeting of beneficiaries and lower leakages in PDS. FDI in multi-brand retail can attract much needed foreign capital in long term. Certain actions like the Food Security Bill are only enhanced versions of PDS already in place and may not impact fiscal deficit in as badly as expected. Potentially ground breaking regulations like the Direct Tax Code, which have been chronically delayed by political differences and centre-state disagreements, will also be accelerated in a crisis. We can expect to see the ‘harvest’ of these ‘seeds’ in due course in several forms such as controlled fiscal deficit, higher FDI flows, improved tax to GDP ratio, renewed investment cycle, eventually leading to valuation multiples for Indian markets closer to those for developed markets. Crisis or not....some of the seeds for new leaders of tomorrow already sown While not many could have predicted the emergence of new sectors like IT and Telecom in the 1990s, we hazard a guess that the new leaders of tomorrow will be in the consumption space. An increasingly younger demographic, growing up in an ‘indulgence’ era, will drive growth in sectors like QSR, Liquor and Internet based services. Although currently the opportunities to invest in these segments are limited, we recommend watching out for these sectors as their secular growth overcomes investor scepticism. Overall, while most investors would seek solace from near term certainty of events, the words of a one-time thought leader to the contrary do merit attention...

“We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten” – Bill Gates

In the interim, we recommend caution as macroeconomic indicators remain subdued, and non-recurring events like elections will limit room for incremental government action. Under the circumstances, we expect following companies to relatively outperform as their fundamentals help them tide over the near term uncertainties. Top buys Automobiles- Eicher Motors, TVS Motors Infrastructure- JPA, IRB, APSEZ Consumer goods- United Spirits, Jyothy Labs Financials- Axis Bank, HDFC Bank IT Services- Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Persistent Systems Metals- NMDC Oil & Gas- RIL Pharmaceuticals- Dr Reddy's, Cipla, Glenmark, IPCA, Sun Pharma Power Utilities- JPVL, PTC Telecom- Idea Cellular At the same time, we recommend staying away from the following stocks as they look weak structurally Top Sells Automobiles - Tata Motors Cement – Ambuja, Ultratech Financials – SBI Metals – Hindalco Oil & Gas - HPCL

The curious case of Chinese Bamboo

The Chinese bamboo tree

tests our patience

Year

You take a tiny seed, plant it and water it....you get a tiny

sampling...nothing more 1

You water it, fertilise it.....the sampling stays as it is......nothing

happens 2

You continue to water it, take care of it....still nothing happens 3

Against your better judgement, you need to continue to water it,

fertilise it.....and still nothing will happen 4

To everyone’s surprise, the tree sprouts and grows NINETY feet in

SIX weeks! 5

What was going on the first four years?

• The tiny sampling was actually developing its root system underground to sustain its impending overground growth fifth year onwards.

• If you had uprooted the sampling to see why it was not growing, it would die.

• But if you were patient and had faith, you would witness the miraculous growth later on

Investing - a similar game of Patience

Government machinery - now in Overdrive

Pace of government announcements inversely proportional to falling markets!!

Policy overdrive

Page 11: Indian Markets-The Story of Chinese Bamboo - Oct13.pdf

Regulators – Now showing their Mettle…

Concerted action by government and regulators – will it save the day for Indian markets?

1991…the WORST of times…

Sharp decline in India’s forex reserves

Fiscally expansive government policies (social schemes), leading to bloated budgets

Inelastic imports and uncompetitive exports lead to high Current Account Deficit (CAD),

unable to be funded for long

Matters made worse by climb of Crude prices due to geopolitical tension

Continuously reducing forex reserves / import cover

Political leadership slow in accepting level of crisis

Only 3 weeks import cover at worst level of forex reserves

Fiscal deficit increasing due to fiscal profligacy

Forced to pledge physical gold to borrow

Forced to accept conditions from international finance bodies

Page 15: Indian Markets-The Story of Chinese Bamboo - Oct13.pdf

but…… also the BEST of times!

What was ‘sowed’ in 1991 …reaped over next 2 decades

Several key reforms undertaken Government relaxed controls on industry

State monopolies broken Tariffs and duties progressively lowered

But….are these also the BEST of times???

The full impact of these measures will be definitely seen …albeit with a lag

A more disciplined government – FM’s commitment “Fiscal red lines that will not

be crossed” proven in FY13

Fuel price hikes irreversible – Regular diesel price hikes by Rs0.45/lit

Direct Cash Transfer – potential to reduce future subsidies substantially

FDI in sectors like retail…..opposition to FDI slowly ceding ground….can potentially

attract large investments

Long term growth seeds being sown – Several structural improvements still below ‘radar of analysts’

GST and DTC…to come sooner than later…no going back

Page 23: Indian Markets-The Story of Chinese Bamboo - Oct13.pdf

Recent fuel price hikes….small…..but irreversible

As consumers are unshielded from international price changes, fuel demand to moderate and hence fuel subsidies to reduce

Diesel price hikes now more regular …… ….leading to decline in Diesel demand

Direct Cash Transfer….inflationary….but necessary

With UID and bank account linked DCT, subsidies will be targeted to beneficiaries

Kerosene demand decline even before DCT in place

“Direct transfer of food and fertilizer subsidies in cash to targeted beneficiaries has the

potential to save almost Rs600bn, without any major adverse impact on the beneficiaries”

- Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices

DCT – contours

Cash in lieu of benefits

Deposited directly to bank account

UID linkage to identify beneficiaries

Gradual scaleup of schemes and

Study by TERI and IISD

indicates saving of Rs41bn

DTC and GST….substantial ground gained

The impact of DTC and GST will materially plug taxation loopholes…

Direct Tax Code (DTC) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Potential impact on

tax collections

• To widen tax collection base

• Tax/GDP ratio to increase substantially from

~11% currently

• GDP growth estimated to be up by 1% with the

implementation of a well-designed GST.

• 10%+ increase in exports estimated

Potential impact on

economy

India can attract upto $15bn in FDI in the next five years

The China Retail FDI Case

• China has attracted $30bn+ of FDI in retail even with gradual opening of sector

• China first permitted FDI in retail in 1992 with foreign ownership restricted to 49%

• Over 600 hypermarkets opened since

• Employment in the retail and wholesale sectors doubled to 54m in two decades since 1992

Alcoholic beverages

United Spirits: BUY

Diageo to transform United Spirits with operational control: With the acquisition of 25% stake in USL, Diageo now has

operational control of USL. Diageo’s acquisition of USL is poised to underpin a strong transition towards portfolio premiumization.

Pernod Ricard generates Rs5.9bn+ of PAT selling 24m cases in India, indicating the inherent profitability in the industry. With USL

drawing 70% of its volumes from mass segment brands, profitability in the business has remained subdued (EBITDA/case 1/4th that

of Pernod Ricard India). This is clearly up for a critical change as Diageo re-instates focus towards premiumization and value rather

than volume.

Indian liquor industry dynamics set to change: With Diageo and Pernod Ricard, the two largest global players, now controlling

60%+ of the Indian spirits market, we sense a potent change in the operating dynamics of the industry. With ‘profits’ and ‘best

practices’ being the key focus for Diageo and Pernod, we believe terms of the trade will improve significantly and bring to fore the

inherent profit generation capability of the industry.

USL set to become one of the top Indian Consumer Stocks: As Diageo focuses on premiumization, profitability in the business

is poised to see a significant increase. Even if Diageo were to contract USL’s volumes by ~30% (to 90m cases), the business would

still have a profit potential of over US$350m. Further, with balance sheet deleveraging (already underway – repaid Rs16bn of debt in

Q1FY14), USL’s profitability is expected to improve significantly. We expect USL to become one of the biggest names in the Indian

consumer space in the long run on the lines of an ITC or Hindustan Unilever (with potential inclusion in India’s benchmark index –

Nifty).

Eicher Motors: BUY

Structural play on leisure biking (63% of EPS) and market share gain in MHCVs. Market share in MHCVs up 270bp in CY12 in a

weak market and sans a captive financing arm; increasing customer and financier acceptance

Offers superior growth visibility in a cyclical industry due to rising HCV market share (up in a weak market), resilient LMD and

exports/outsourcing. RE deserves to trade at 20x (PEG of 0.25x); at this target PEG it’s cheaper than the Indian 2W names even

with a superior business model.

Dealer checks suggest RE can achieve volumes of 175,000/250,000 in CY13/CY14 as capacity expands.

Trading at 14.8x CY14E EPS with a EPS CAGR of 46% . Structural pick with TP of Rs4,355

TVS Motor: BUY

5 launches to make it a full portfolio player. Aid market share and margin expansion. Deal with BMW to aid diversification and

boost premium segment presence.

31% reduction in Indonesia operating losses to Rs350m in FY13 despite a 19% volume decline a key positive

Deleveraging to boost non-operating growth as Interest-bearing debt of Rs4bn (25% of mkt cap) to be retired by end-FY14. Sold

windmill business to Green Infra. (TVS investment was at Rs767m with debt of Rs2.6bn)

Tata Motors: SELL

JLR - competitive intensity on the rise against JLR’s two new models (upgrades apart) in four years; competition plans to

introduce 18 models. Risk to Street’s 15% volume growth assumption in FY15.

Evoque in its prime; growth onus on Jaguar: Base affect and competition (4 all-new launches, including Porsche Macan & BMW

X4) catching up with Evoque. Growth onus on Jaguar which will be margin dilutive.

JLR valuations unreasonable: Premium valuations for JLR (40% higher EV/sales than BMW) unjustified given, a) capex-led

uncertain free cash flows; b) rising dependence on Jaguar, and c) intense competition.

Structural weakness of standalone business cant be ignored (c.25% of SOTP target price of Rs261) Recommend selling on every

rally.

Consumer Goods

Jyothy Lab: BUY

From a limited opportunity play: Limited opportunity play (USD500m)–in only 3 mass-end categories and one flagship brand -

Ujala and skin to GCPL in 2008 – GCPL in 2008 had limited product portfolio (low growth visibility); Promoter-driven business for

past 30 years, without professional management

To a whole new scale!!: Post the Henkel acquisition, market opportunity up 10x to US$5bn in India; Entry into ‘premium’

categories – Henkel infuses a premium brand- width into a hitherto mass market portfolio.

‘Management bandwidth scaled up.. Business integration complete: Spearheading the change in management is new CEO

Mr S Raghunandan, a turnaround veteran. The new team, brought in by new CEO, has 15-25 years of experience from across the

top consumer names like HUL, Marico, Colgate, Paras, Sara Lee etc. Re-organisation of management team as well as the re-

alignment and integration of the two businesses (Jyothy and Henkel) is complete with the first signs being visible in a

blockbuster Q1FY14 result

Poised to enter the big league: JYL can potentially be another Godrej Consumer Products, which has grown over the last 5

years through acquiring successfully and has increased market cap by10x in the process

Deeper penetration in international mining segment driving volume growth with 75% of revenues from replacement demand

Margins likely to bottom out in FY13 and improve in FY14 by 100bps led by 1) improved revenue mix towards liners within mining

segment b) price increases with mining customers and 3) lower forex losses in FY14

Plans to expand capacity by 100,000 tonnes over the next 2 years to tap growth in mining segment

Upside to earnings estimates

Trading at 12.2x FY15E earnings at the lower end of its historical trading band considering sustainable growth (13% CAGR in earnings

Financials

Axis Bank: BUY

Under valued deposit franchise – Axis has evolved into a strong retail deposit franchise and we believe it is undervalued. Market

cap to total deposits and market cap to CASA deposits – 45% lower than private banks average

Strong low cost deposit franchise – 42% CASA is a significant advantage in such tight liquidity environment. We expect Axis to

remain amongst the better CASA franchises medium term

Healthy net interest margins – Axis’s NIMs are over 350 bps, NIMs likely to remain strong led by high CASA ratio, increasing

exposure to retail segment.

Above industry loan growth – Axis should continue to grow its loan book at above industry levels – while loan growth in corporate

segment has moderated, ample room to drive growth in retail/SME segment

Stable credit costs - We believe credit costs are likely to remain stable between 90-100bps over the medium term. We do not expect

a sharp jump in credit costs near term.

Healthy return profile/high capital cushion – Axis has a healthy ROE of 17-18% over FY14-15E. Moreover, with recent capital

raising, Axis has reasonably high capital adequacy of 12.25%

Valuations well below historical means - Current valuations are attractive at 1.2 FY15E P/Adj. BV and 6.9x FY15E P/E. We believe

the stock will provide healthy returns over the medium term

Key risks – sharp deterioration in the SME asset quality and broader economic slowdown

HDFC Bank: BUY

A strong retail deposit franchise- HDFC Bank is the one of the best deposit franchises in the current environment with CASA

ratio of ~45%

Healthy net interest margins– HDFC Banks’ NIMs remain one of the highest in industry (over 400bps) and boasts of the lowest

cost of funds. Offers significant cushion in current tight liquidity environment

Steady , above –industry loan growth – HDFC Bank continues to growth ahead of industry with 20%+ loan growth. We believe

HDFC Bank will continue to grow at healthy levels led by retail segment .

Lowest credit costs, strong asset quality – HDFC Bank has the lowest credit costs in the sector (~80bps) and coverage levels

are well above 100%. With Gross NPAs at 1.1%, HDFC Bank has performed significantly well on the asset quality front. We rule

out any significant rise in credit costs for HDFC Bank.

Consistent, predictable earnings performance – HDFC Bank has demonstrated the most consistent earnings growth even in

difficult times. With return ratios of 21%+ for FY14E we believe the stock offers strong returns with reasonable safety

Will continue to trade a premium valuations – HDFC Bank has traded at a significant premium to its peers given its superior

asset quality, consistent performance and steady RoEs. We believe current correction in the stock (trading 3x FY15E P/Adj. BV

and 13.8x FY15E P/E) offers an attractive entry point .

Key risks – sharp deterioration in the retail asset quality and broader economic slowdown

State Bank of India: SELL

Asset quality under pressure - Asset quality has continued to weaken for SBI – it now has amongst the highest NPLs in the

sector (at 5.6%) and a long restructuring pipeline. We do not see signs of improvements near term, given continued stress in the

mid-corporate and SME segments – key areas of weakness for SBI

Credit costs likely to remain high – We believe SBI’s credit costs will remain high medium term as it needs to provide more to

shore up the low loan loss coverage on existing NPLs (50% coverage), slippages from restructured assets and further NPL

creation ahead.

Top management change ahead – SBI’s top management team is set to see a complete overhaul in the next 18 months as the

entire top management team achieves retirement age. We believe this can lead to a significant transition period for the bank.

Declining NIMs – SBI is witnessing a decline in NIMs over the past 5 quarters. Moreover, the bank has consciously decided to

focus on low yielding corporate/retail loans. We believe, SBI’s NIMs will remain stressed notwithstanding its strong deposit

franchise given declining loan yields and significant interest reversals.

Low capital cushion – SBI’s Tier-I capital adequacy ratio at 8.8% is relatively lower than most large private banks in the country.

Likely further dilution will continue to remain an overhang on the stock in near term.

Stress adjusted valuations not cheap – SBI is trading at 1.2x FY15E P/Adj BV and at a significant premium to other PSU banks

(in line with some large private banks). Given the higher asset quality pains – there is significant room for downsides.

Key positive – strong deposit franchise for the bank in an uncertain funding environment can lead to the bank garnering

significant market share

NMDC: BUY

Volume growth on track

• Opening of new deposits (Deposit 11-B) and ramp-up of existing operations (Kumaraswamy) to aid volume growth story.

We expect sales volume to grow at a 9% CAGR over FY13-15E.

• Any positive development on rebuilding of slurry pipeline of Essar will aid to volume growth

Pricing power to improve over the medium term

• While near term realization has been under pressure on declining international prices and lower demand from domestic

sponge iron players, we expect a prices (especially for fines) to increase over medium term

• Given that NMDC is the only large player outside Orrisa, any supply constraint on adverse regulatory news flow will improve

overall pricing power

Higher dividend payout; Strong balance sheet health

• NMDC has a net cash of Rs53/share (~46% of current market cap), which is expected to increase to Rs62/share by FY15

(53.3% of current market cap).

• Higher dividend payout of Rs7/share in FY13, makes NMDC a ~6% dividend yield stock (at CMP). We expect higher

payout to continue, as company is expected to generate positive FCF, despite a capex of Rs3bn p.a in steel plant.

Key risks: a) lower international iron ore prices b) delays in ramp-up of Deposit 11-B and Kumaraswamy

We expect a base case RoCE of 5% for Mahan project, given (a) delays at Utkal refinery (b) lack of captive coal till FY16 (c)

cost escalations at Mahan smelter and Utkal refinery

Declining linkage availably and lower LME Aluminum prices to result in declining EBIT margins for existing operations ( as

evident from a 956bps yoy decline in FY13 EBIT margins which came at 10.6%)

Benefits of volume growth at Novelis – some time away

Novelis recently guided for a flat to lower yoy EBITDA in FY14, despite 5-10% volume growth

Narrowing LME-Scrap spread, as evident from recent contracts in North America which were signed at lower conversion

premiums

Rising leverage – our biggest concern

Rising capex intensity and lower operating cash flows (both at standalone aluminum operations and Novelis) has resulted

in a Rs130bn rise in net debt to Rs457bn (Mar-13).

We expect net debt to further rise to Rs503bn by FY14 (Adj. net gearing of 2x).

Key risks: a) higher LME prices b) improving recycling spreads resulting in margin expansion at Novelis c) a faster than expected

ramp-up of Mahan coal block

Material downstream expansion to add US$130bn to consolidated EBITDA by FY16E, growth of ~45% over FY13 levels

Upstream segment a relatively minor portion of value; further negative news flow or surprises/delays in gas price hike unlikely to affect

value by more than Rs40-50/sh (<5% of our TP)

We believe that refining margins unlikely to moderate too much from here, pace of capacity additions is faltering which should help

keep complex margins elevated

Current valuations factor in pessimism on upstream without looking at long term benefits from US$12bn downstream expansion,

which should drive a 11% CAGR in earnings over FY14-16E and reverse slide in return ratios

Dr. Reddy’s Labs : BUY

DRL is one of the most competent players in the US generics market with a proven track record of commercializing complex generics

like Isotretenoin, Fondaparinux, Tacrolimus, Metoprolol Succinate, Lansoprazole, Omeprazole OTC etc over the last three years and a

strong pipeline.

• A slew of recent launches (e.g. Zenatane, gDacogen, gAzacitidine, gReclast and gZometa (potential sales of US$150m in

FY14) has allayed concerns over FY14 growth.

• Likely deferral of niche launches to FY14 should improve FY14 US business growth contrary to earlier expectations.

• 31 products in DRL’s portfolio are ranked among the top 3 in terms of market share (IMS Aug-12).

• DRL filed two ANDAs in Q1FY14. Sixty-four ANDAs are awaiting USFDA approval, of which 38 are Para IVs and eight have FTF

status.

• DRL has built up an enviable DMF filing portfolio over the past 3-4 years… indicative of future portfolio.

DRL’s focus on stepping up R&D and filing high-value and complex products like gCapoxone is positive

DRL is the only pharma player which has not reflected weaker currency gains in FY13 earnings due to aggressive hedging; If INR

stays at current levels, DRL could realize at least Rs57-58/$ in FY14. This can substantially prop up earnings over the next few

quarters.

While Q1 disappointed, we see recovery in PSAI and scale-up of recent niche US launches.

At CMP, the stock trades at ~18x FY15E, a sharp discount to most large peers. Also, given the return ratios of >20% and a net-cash

balance sheet, valuations remain attractive

DRL remains our top pick in the Indian pharma space.

Cipla : BUY

FY13 is an inflection point in Cipla’s growth trajectory with a change of guard at the top management (Dr Hamied stepping down from

MD role and new CEO taking executive control) after a series of senior-level hirings over the last couple of years

While the management has not been vocal about the contours of these changes, Cipla’s focus on revitalizing business and

enhancing profitability has begun delivering returns. The ~$512m proposed acquisition of Cipla Medpro underlines this new

aggressive growth mindset.

With ~16% CAGR over CY11-16E (IMS), EMs will be the primary driver of global generics. Cipla’s focus/ presence in EMs (~80% of

FY15E sales; including India) and management efforts to enhance control over the distributor-driven EM business model, we believe

Cipla is the best placed Indian company to play the EM opportunity.

Further rationalization of low-margin business, increased focus on profitability, stress on balance sheet improvement, willingness to

look at front-ends, and emphasis on lateral hiring stands out among the company’s growth strategies.

Cipla reported strong Q1FY14 revenue growth given new pricing policy and strike in Maharashtra and Q1FY13 had exclusivity profits,

we remain positive on the potential of Cipla’s evolving business model.

While a strong EM footprint should provide a growth anchor, Cipla’s relatively smaller US / EU businesses can deliver material upside

as R&D capabilities get leveraged in niche spaces.

Expect healthy double-digit revenue growth in FY14 on an organic basis, driven by multiple factors like scale-up in the EU front-end

business, approvals of a couple of niche opportunities in the US etc.

Building in CMP consolidation, a weak rupee and the new pricing policy, we expect 12% CAGR (19% CAGR over FY12-15) in Cipla’s

earnings over FY13-15E.

At ~18x FY15E earnings, valuations appear attractive. Maintain Outperformer with a price target of Rs480 (20x FY15E EPS)

Glenmark Pharma : BUY

After effectively addressing investor concerns on balance sheet issues, Glenmark’s strong FY13 operating performance (36% yoy

EBITDA growth) and guidance of 20% yoy growth in FY14 is reflective of the potential of its generics business model

We expect profitability to steadily improve hereon as investments in growth begin to pay off across geographies led by the US and

India

• In the US, we expect the niche pipeline to drive steady growth (11 OCs, 19 dermatology products already approved, another

7-8 awaiting approval); FTFs will continue to provide further upside

• In India, Glenmark remains among the fastest growing top-20 players and will continue to post double-digit growth

• In the RoW markets, Glenmark is leveraging niche therapies in dermatology, respiratory and oncology to drive growth (37%

growth in FY13); Latam is also set for a turnaround

Expected scale-up of ROCE to 19-20% (despite Rs1.7bn-1.8bn of NCE R&D spend) over FY13-15E (from 11-12% over FY09-11)

builds a strong case for re-rating of the generic business

Further, significantly value-accretive newsflow on the NCE pipeline possible over next 12-18 months

Adjusted for NCE R&D spend, Glenmark’s generics business trades at effective valuations of ~17x FY15E with >20% return ratios

for FY15E; the stock is trading at a discount to peers.

Ipca Labs : BUY

A competitive mid-cap business with superior API capabilities and a scalable, diversified global formulations business. The company

has grown 17%/ 34% CAGR in terms of revenue/ PAT over FY09-13.

With Indore SEZ getting USFDA approval and strong ANDA pipeline and sustainable UK business recovery, Ipca is set to embark on

the next phase of growth. Ipca has filed 35 ANDAs, and has received 15 approvals and commercialized eight products.

The company seeks to deploy a higher proportion of cashflows into R&D (spend almost doubled in FY13; e.g. initiation of a 505(b)(2)

project in FY13); so the quality of growth should improve further.

Domestic business grew ~12% in Q1FY14 despite implementation of new pricing policy; we expect 16% growth in FY14 as

restructuring initiatives have stabilized and productivity starts to improve. Ipca has gained market share in key therapies like pain

management and cardiology.

Given Ipca’s significant net foreign exposure, currency tailwinds would accelerate earnings momentum; it has hedged ~26% of its

net foreign exchange earnings (NFE) for FY14 at an exchange rate of Rs58/$. FY15 NFE could be ~$300m – If INR stays ~60/share;

gains could be meaningful.

Limited competition, low-cost inventory and likely approval of new products will help expand the company’s institutional malaria

business. Revenue potential of Rs7-8bn over the next five years.

At ~15x FY15E PE, Ipca is our top mid-cap pick in the space.

Sun Pharma: BUY

Sun has established a strong medium-term growth platform for all its three core generic business segments. It is now working

to evolve into a global specialty pharma company

• Sun’s move to acquire DUSA, a niche dermatology business, marks its foray into the high-potential branded drugs space in

the US

Sun remains one of the most competent players in the domestic business; slowly creating a solid business in RoW by replicating

the India template

• Taro: Taro had had a dream run before 4QFY13 with several quarters of price-led growth, but the management has been

sounding a note of caution. We estimate Taro’s revenues and profits to decline over FY14-15.

US business: Sun (including Taro) has filed 453 ANDAs (adjusting for dropped filings), received 320 approvals and is awaiting

approvals for 133 products (including niche products like Astelin nasal spray). Likely one of the largest Para IV portfolios

The company sees limited impact of the new pricing policy in the domestic segment; the worst-case impact is Rs400m-500m

While near-term upsides could be limited given the recent upmove, we recommend buying into weakness. Reiterate

Outperformer.

Key risk to our call: Sharp deterioration in profitability contribution from Lipidox and Doxycycline.
