Piramal Enterprises’(PIEL) has announced 20% stake sale in the Pharma division
with fresh equity infusion of ~USD490m by the Carlyle group. The deal values the
Pharma division at an EV of USD2.8b (INR210b) and factors in net debt reduction
to INR25b from INR42b.
The stake sale is another step on the part of PIEL toward simplifying the group
structure and effectively demerging the Pharma division in the ensuing quarters.
Recently, PIEL sold its DRG division. The company has also made its intention
clear of exiting its investments in Shriram group. In our view, ultimately PIEL
would have a simplified structure with two listed businesses
–
Piramal Pharma
Ltd (PPL) and PIEL (Listed Company will be for Financial Services business).
The tough environment of the past 1-1.5 years has prompted PIEL to undertake
various steps to protect its balance sheet. These steps include (a) consolidating its
loan book and reducing the share of large exposure, (b) raising significant capital
and reducing leverage, and (c) now preparing a strategy to foray into retail
products in the Lending business.
More importantly, the company has been on a deleveraging exercise over the
past year. It divested 10% stake in SHTF and also raised INR54b via a mix of
preferential issue to CDPQ and a rights issue. Post this, it sold its DRG business for
USD900m. Now, divestment of 20% stake in its Pharma business has already
established the benchmark valuation.
Using SOTP method (FY22E based), we value the Lending business at 1x BVPS, the
Pharma business at 12x EV/EBITDA (in line with benchmark valuation and peers)
and the Shriram group investments at our TP for its subsidiaries. PIEL has excess
net worth of ~INR30b, which we have valued at 1x Cash. Maintain Buy with a
revised TP of INR1,600.

Unlocking value in Pharma business
PIEL has announced that all Pharma related businesses at the group level would
be merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary, Piramal Pharma Ltd (PPL). Further,
PPL would get strategic growth investment from the Carlyle group for 20% equity
stake in the company. EV for the proposed transaction is USD2.8b with an upside
of USD360m if PPL achieves certain financial parameters in FY21. According to the
manegement, PIEL would utilize part of the stake sale money to reduce net debt
to INR25b from INR42b and the rest could be utilized for inorganic opportunities.
With EV of USD2.8b (INR210b) and debt reduction to INR25b, the equity value
works out to INR185b with a realized upside value of INR212b (USD360m).
Accordingly, Carlyle would invest USD490m for the proposed 20% stake and an
additional USD72m if the upside is triggered. In our view, this step to effectively
simplify the group structure is in the right direction and would ultimately lead to
the listing of the Pharma division.
