SUN PHARMACEUTICAL
Sun Pharma’s (SUNP) FY16 annual report analysis highlights muted
performance. Revenue grew just 3.2% to INR283b while EBITDA margin
expanded 70bp to 29.4%, led by gross margin expansion. Contingent
liabilities on tax disputes increased to INR30.9b (FY15: INR26.7b); cash
tax paid (at INR19.9b) was significantly higher than expensed (at
INR9.3b). Operating cash flow post interest increased from INR52.7b to
INR64.7b on decline in other assets to INR24.7b (primarily representing
USD400m receivables for financing Protonix liability); however, this was
partially offset by INR18.1b increase in receivables. FCF deteriorated to
INR20.9b (FY15: INR26.5b) on higher capex and acquisition of brands.
Goodwill and intangibles rose to INR87.8b (28% of net worth). Cash and
investments stood at INR161b (51% of net worth), with 3% yield.
Regrouping FY15 financials (in FY16 annual report) rendered prior year
financials incomparable.

Operating performance muted:
Revenue grew just 3.2% to
INR283b. EBITDA margin expanded 70bp to 29.4%, led by gross
margin expansion, partially compensated by higher (a) legal and
consultancy cost at INR19b (6.1% of revenue; FY15: INR16.5b),
(b) revenue R&D expenses at INR22b (7.9% of revenue; FY15:
INR18b), and (c) miscellaneous expenses (after regrouping) at
INR9.8b (FY15: INR9.4b; including INR1b additional liability
towards USD400m deal).
Tax rates remain low; contingent liabilities on tax dispute rise:
Tax rates remained low at 13.8%, primarily on account of low
tax rates in certain subsidiaries (Sun Pharma Global FZE—0%)
and Sun Pharmaceutical Laboratories (SPLL). On a consolidated
basis, contingent liabilities increased steeply from INR33.9b in
FY15 to INR41.8b (13% of net worth). The increase in overall tax
dispute liabilities was driven by tax dispute liabilities for the
standalone entity increasing from INR11.1b in FY15 to INR19b.
Cash tax significantly exceeds tax expense recognized:
The
cash tax paid (cash flow; at INR19.9b) continued to be higher
than the tax expense recognized in the P&L (of INR9.3b) on
account of deferred tax assets (DTA) recognized, tax paid under
protest and advance income tax paid. The cumulative tax paid
under protest as at the end of FY16 was INR13.9b. Details on
such amount paid in FY16 or cumulative amount paid in FY15
are not available.
High capex and rising receivables dent FCF:
FCF post interest
declined 21% YoY to INR20.9b on rising capex and acquisition of
brands. Operating cash flows were primarily supported by
decline in other current assets by INR24b, which was partially
offset by increase in receivables by INR18.1b.
