Piramal Enterprises (PIEL) has carved a niche for itself in wholesale lending, and is
now one of the dominant players in most of the segments in which it operates. In the
lending business, the company has one of the lowest GNPAs and the highest
profitability. Post the initial years of lower-tenure loan book, PIEL is moving toward
secured and higher-tenure products, which provides support to growth. We expect a
40% loan CAGR in the NBFC business.
The Pharma business has demonstrated strong growth and improvement in
profitability in recent years. With its focus on building a portfolio via inorganic
acquisitions and the impending closure of the imaging business, we expect a sharp
improvement in profitability.
Over last five years, the stock has delivered 44% CAGR returns, and since our
initiation three months ago (Initiation
report),
it has run up 54%. Led by strong macro
tailwinds and healthy profitability, we raise the target multiple for financial services
to 3.6x from 2.7x (in line with peers). Our revised SOTP is INR3,044. Our target price
does not factor in the proposed capital raise of INR50b (~10% dilution), which, in our
view, would be largely utilized for the financial services business.
Product diversification – key to its success story in NBFC space
Since its foray into the financial services business in FY12, PIEL has exhibited a loan
book CAGR of over 100%, mainly driven by its focus on catering to all the needs of
developers – right from equity capital for land purchase to last mile inventory
funding. The company has significantly expanded its product suite over the years,
with new products such as construction finance and LRD contributing to
incremental loan growth. We believe this has been the key to Piramal’s success
story, as product diversification reduces dependence on any single product for
growth and mitigates asset quality risks.

Pharma business on a turnaround path
We expect Pharma revenue CAGR of ~20% till FY20, driven by (1) recent
acquisitions (leading to an increase in the addressable market size to USD20b in
FY18 from USD1b in FY16), (2) expansion into new areas and ADC manufacturing
capacity and (3) capacity expansion at other facilities. The global pharma business
(90% of revenue) enjoys a strong operating margin of 20%+, but the domestic
business has a low-single-digit margin. Imaging business, which was a drag on
profitability, is likely to wind down by CY17, driving overall margins higher. We
expect a strong turnaround in this business, with the EBITDA margin expanding to
~20.5% by FY19 (up ~600bp v/s FY17) and a revenue CAGR of 20%.
