Glenmark Pharma
Poised for turnaround; initiate with Buy
We initiate coverage on Glenmark Pharma with Buy and target
price of `373. We are positive on the stock, given turnaround in
the base business, pipeline of key product launches,
monetisation of new chemical entity (NCE) pipeline and
improving financials.
Set to witness turnaround. Glenmark is well poised to witness
turnaround, post disappointing performance in FY09 and FY10. We
expect 17.1% revenue CAGR (ex NCE income) over FY10-13e
driven by recovery in the US (increasing ANDA approvals and
launch of Tarka) and Latin America (restructuring complete, returns
to begin), and the growing Indian market.
Monetising NCE pipeline. Glenmark is the only Indian company
to have successfully monetised NCEs; its recent outlicensing of
GRC15300 to Sanofi Aventis reinforces our confidence in its
monetising capability. We value GRC15300 at `14 per share, with
likely success in other compounds to provide upside.
Improving financials. We expect Glenmark to register 17.1%
revenue CAGR and 25.5% net profit CAGR over FY10-13e. This
coupled with improvement in working capital cycle (194 days in
FY13e from 218 days in FY10), would strengthen the balance sheet
and return ratios.
Valuation and risks. We value Glenmark at `373, valuing base
business at `339 based on 18x (10% discount to large-cap peers and
considering the past 2-year average forward PE of 19x) FY12e
base business earnings and `24 for NPV of exclusivity
