Mixed Performance
Glenmark Pharmaceuticals’ 2QFY12 results were a mixed bag, with revenue at
Rs10.6bn being 24%/17% higher than our/consensus estimates, while PAT of
Rs552mn was 48%/71% below our/consensus estimates, respectively. While we
had accounted for US$28.8mn royalty payment to Paul Capital (possibly not
factored in by consensus estimate) and US$25mn milestone income from Sanofi
in our estimates, forex loss of Rs850mn led to earnings missing estimates. We
revise our FY12 revenue estimate upwards by 2% to reflect strong revenue growth
in 1HFY12, while we cut PAT estimate by 15% in line with weak 1HFY12 earnings.
We also include milestone income of US$4mn from Salix in FY13 (to be
recognised from June 2012), which consequently leads to a 2% increase in our
FY13 revenue estimate. We change our rating on the stock from Buy to Hold but
maintain our target price of Rs362.
PAT down, revenue up: Glenmark’s PAT of Rs552mn (down 50%YoY,73%QoQ) -
marred by forex loss of Rs850mn and royalty payment of Rs1.3bn to Paul Capital – was
48%/71% below our/consensus estimates, even though revenue at Rs10.6bn
(up42%YoY,22%QoQ) was 24%/17% above our/consensus estimates, respectively.
Margins at 21.4%, declined 386bps YoY and 1281QoQ. Core margins - adjusted for
forex loss of Rs850mn, milestone income of Rs1.2bn and royalty payment of Rs1.3bn –
stood at 20.5%, down 295bps YoY and 398bps QoQ, as gross margins reverted back to
historical level of 65% from 70% in 1QFY12 and 66% in 2QFY12. The company reported
strong growth across geographies, with the US (up 34%YoY), India (up 20%YoY) and
ROW markets (up 82%YoY) being the key contributors.
Valuation and outlook: Glenmark’s lower-than-expected earnings is an aberration in
our view and we remain upbeat about the company’s base business growth (expect 24%
CAGR in earnings over FY11-13E) led by strong traction in India and monetisation of
niche opportunities in the US (Malarone, Oxycodone and Cutivate). We value
Glenmark’s core business at Rs343 assigning a PE multiple of 15.3x FY13E EPS of
Rs22, at a 30% discount to its five-year average and a 20% discount to the sector for its
stretched Balance Sheet. We add Rs5.2 (20% discount for execution risks) for its Para
IV pipeline and another Rs14 for Crofelemor opportunity, valuing it at 65% success
probability and thus arriving at our target price of Rs362. We change our rating on the
stock from Buy to Hold
