Result Update
GST transition impacts domestic formulations
Revenues declined 8% YoY to | 314 crore (I-direct estimate: | 339
crore) mainly due to the impact of GST transition in domestic
formulations. Domestic formulations declined 23% YoY to | 171 crore
(I-direct estimate: | 188 crore). Export sales grew 21% to | 118 crore
(I-direct estimate: | 124 crore)
EBITDA loss was at | 23 lakh (I-direct estimate: profit of | 24 crore) vs.
profit of | 44 crore in Q1FY17, due to a steep decline in domestic
formulation sales
Net profit declined 94% YoY to | 2 crore, and came in below I-direct
estimate of | 12 crore. Tax credit of | 5 crore led to positive PAT
Domestic formulations crawling back to normal post NLEM, realignment
Domestic formulations, which constitute 60% of total revenues, are at the
core of the overall performance. The acute: chronic: sub-chronic ratio for
the company was 36:57:6. Despite having a higher proportion of chronic
therapies, the core business has grown at a CAGR of just ~10% in FY12-
17 on account of 1) restructuring exercise & inventory rationalisation and
2) NLEM implementation & the resulting channel disturbances in FY13,
FY14. The situation is likely to change, going ahead, as the company
plans to convert from a distribution-driven model to C&F driven model for
better working capital management. It plans to realign its portfolio to
minimise losses on account of NLEM by rationalising the MR team and
pushing for more non-NLEM and OTC products. However, it is taking
much more time than earlier estimated. We expect branded formulations
to grow at a CAGR of ~11% to | 1039 crore in FY17-19E.
Formulation exports still evolving but growing
Export formulations (~32% of total revenues) have grown at ~23% CAGR
in FY12-17 on the back of significant investment in infrastructure to push
exports. New product launches in the US and a ramp-up in CRAMS for
US, EU based customers have contributed to growth. CRAMS business,
of late, has struggled though, with customers postponing or cancelling
requirements. For the rest of exports, Unichem is looking for US generics
traction. It has filed 39 ANDAs with USFDA and received approval for 24
ANDAs. We expect formulation exports to grow at a CAGR of 19% in
FY17-19E to | 637 crore on the back of incremental US launches.
Despite revenue traction, optimum operating leverage still wanting
The Q1 performance was a wash-out due to GST transition. It was more
so for companies like Unichem, which has higher proportion revenues
derived from domestic formulations. In the long run, however the
management’s focus on restructuring the matured portfolio, which
comprises legacy but slow moving brands, seems to be working. Also,
the foray into the OTC segment (Unienzyme) in the domestic market
augurs well to grow in the non-prescription space. Export formulations
are likely to maintain the growth tempo mainly on the back of incremental
US launches. In export, the company has de-focused other markets and
only concentrating on the US. Despite challenging pricing environment,
the management is bullish on this geography. However, EBITDA margin
constraints continue due to 1) manpower addition at Goa plant, 2)
increase in R&D, 3) foray into domestic OTC and 4) pricing pressure and
high cost base in the US. Improvement in margins is the only trigger for
re-rating in future amid challenging environment. We have a target price
of | 235 (12x FY19E EPS of | 19.4). We maintain HOLD recommendation.

mpany Analysis
Established in 1944, the company has five subsidiaries and one associate
company. It remained confined to selected therapeutic groups such as
Anti-hypertensives, Anti-infectves, Neurology, Gastrointerology etc. with
some legacy products Losar, Telsar and Trika. Despite having higher
proportion of chronic therapies in domestic market, slow growth in
domestic Pharma over past five years was mainly due to restructuring
and NLEM impact. However, as per the management, the situation is
likely to change going ahead as the company has converted majority of
its domestic business from distribution-driven model to C&F driven model
for better working capital management. Also, It focus on restructuring the
matured portfolio which accounts for 46% of the overall pie and
comprises of legacy but slow moving brands started providing traction.
Export business is largely driven by the US followed by Europe and Brazil.
Despite being in the business for a long period, the company is yet to
achieve the kind of scalability achieved by other Indian peers with similar
pedigree given the infrastructure it owns i.e. four formulation plants (two
USFDA, UKMHRA approved) with no critical observations from USFDA
and two USFDA approved API plants. However, US sales have started
giving tractions, which increased more six fold to US$ 33 million from 12-
16 mainly due to enhanced USFDA approvals and improvement in
product pipeline. Emerging traction especially from the US is likely to
neutralize the self-inflicted pains in the domestic formulations. Overall we
expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 17.1% in FY16-FY19E to | 2141.9
crore.

SWOT Analysis
Strengths - Chronic focus, clean balance sheet, decent dividend payout
ratio, availability of facilities to scale up operations
Weakness - One of the lowest MR productivity, matured domestic
portfolio. US traction still in a nascent state
Opportunities - The US generics space
Industry Specific 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. Increased
competition in the domestic formulations space

Valuation
The Q1 performance was a wash-out due to GST transition. It was more
so for companies like Unichem, which has higher proportion revenues
derived from domestic formulations. In the long run, however the
management’s focus on restructuring the matured portfolio, which
comprises legacy but slow moving brands, seems to be working. Also,
the foray into the OTC segment (Unienzyme) in the domestic market
augurs well to grow in the non-prescription space. Export formulations
are likely to maintain the growth tempo mainly on the back of incremental
US launches. In export, the company has de-focused other markets and
only concentrating on the US. Despite challenging pricing environment,
the management is bullish on this geography. However, EBITDA margin
constraints continue due to 1) manpower addition at Goa plant, 2)
increase in R&D, 3) foray into domestic OTC and 4) pricing pressure and
high cost base in the US. Improvement in margins is the only trigger for
re-rating in future amid challenging environment. We have a target price
of | 235 (12x FY19E EPS of | 19.4). We maintain HOLD recommendation.
