Pharmaceuticals
ƒ Consolidated topline to grow at ~21.4% YoY
The pharma companies under our coverage are expected to post mixed
results. The results of companies like Sun Pharma, Elder Pharma, Opto
Circuits and Biocon are not comparable on the back of acquisitions and
sell-offs. Overall, our pharma universe is expected to clock ~ 21.4%
sales growth YoY to | 10698 crore. On a like-to-like basis, growth will be
~18% YoY. Other than the depreciation of the rupee vis-à-vis leading
currencies like the US dollar, euro and yen, good traction from the US
and emerging markets is expected to contribute to the growth. On the
flip side, we expect subdued growth in domestic formulations on the
back of lower growth in anti-infectives and gastroenterologicals (GI).
Lupin and Sun are expected to register good growth in domestic
formulations despite overall slowdown. Companies like Indoco
Remedies and Ipca Laboratories  are expected to post below 15%
growth due to lower growth in the anti-infective segments. On the US
and other advanced markets front, we expect companies like Lupin,
Sun, Glenmark and Aurobindo to do better. Biocon, Strides, Glenmark
and Lupin are expected to book licensing income from recent and
existing R&D tie ups. Unichem’s sales are expected to suffer on the back
of restructuring of distribution patterns.
ƒ EBITDA to grow marginally by 16.2%
We expect the EBIDTA of the coverage universe to witness lower
growth of ~16.2% YoY to | 2485 crore due to factors like consolidation
of low margin businesses by some companies, absence of revenues
from high margins F2F products, increase in field force and expansion
of capacities. Overall EBITDA margins for the universe are expected to
be ~23.2%, down by 100 bps YoY.
ƒ Net profit to decline by 8% YoY on translation losses & EO
We expect the net profit of the coverage universe to decline by 8% to |
1504 crore on the back of translation losses, one-time royalty payment
[extraordinary items (EO)] by Glenmark and increase in the tax rates
