TRP reported sales of INR13.8b (-8% YoY; ~8% below est.), with EBITDA of
INR2.95b (est. of ~INR3.4b) and PAT of INR2.1b (-42% YoY; est. of INR2.3b).
The miss in numbers is attributed to weak sales in India and the US due to
pricing pressure and limited launches. For FY17 sales, EBITDA and PAT
stood at INR58.6b (-12.3%YoY), INR13.8b (-49%YoY) and INR9.3b (-48%YoY)
respectively.
US, India deliver muted performance:
US business
declined 45% YoY (-10%
QoQ) to INR2.8b due to continued pricing pressure in base business and
limited launches YTD. We expect this business to remain under pressure in
FY18 due to further price erosion in base business, partially offset by 8-10
new launches in FY18E (~25 pending ANDAs; six approved ANDAs that were
not launched in FY17). TRP is also focusing on in-licensing of products in the
US.
India business
grew at ~6% YoY, with chronic and sub-chronic segment
secondary sales outpacing industry growth. The company expects India
business to grow in double-digits, led by strategic initiatives undertaken
since 2QFY16.
Earnings call takeaways:
1) 16 ANDAs filed in FY17; re-looking R&D
strategy – will focus on complex products requiring clinical trials. 2) Mid-
teens pricing pressure expected in FY18 in the US. 3) Normalized
depreciation rate of ~INR800-810m/quarter v/s INR970m in 4Q. 4) Capex of
INR4b expected in FY18/FY19 toward Sikkim expansion and Onco block &
Dahej Phase-2. 5) Renagel launch deferred for more than one year. 6) Tax
rate to stay at ~20% in FY18. 7) Germany sales to grow at >15% YoY. 8)
Govt. allowed price increase in Brazil; to be ~3% in FY18 v/s ~12.5% in FY17.
Current price more than factors in concerns:
Although growth in the US
and India will continue to be under pressure in FY18 (due to pricing
pressure in the US and GST rollout in India), we believe the impact of these
issues is more than factored in the current price. Maintain
Buy
with a TP of
INR1,450, @20x FY19E PER (v/s INR1,700 @ 20x 1HFY19E EPS). We cut
FY18E/19E EPS by 19-20% as we build in the impact of higher pricing
pressure in the US and lower EBITDA margin.
