Pharmaceuticals
􀂃 Consolidated topline to grow at ~15% YoY
The Pharma companies under I-Direct coverage are expected to post
steady growth of ~15% to | 11097 crore on the back of Rupee
depreciation, new launches and acquisitions. Excluding Biocon’s
Axicorp divestment (|220 crore) and higher licensing incomes to the
tune of | 280 crore in Q3FY11, the like to like growth is expected to be
~20%. The Rupee has depreciated by almost 11% vis-à-vis
corresponding quarter last year. This will benefit most of the companies
from the universe. Companies like Glenmark, Lupin, Ipca, Strides and
Sun are expected to register healthy growth in sales driven by
incremental launches in the US and emerging markets. Divi’s Labs is
also expected to register good numbers on account of revival in
CRAMS. Aurobindo may clock negative growth on account of higher
base and structural issues. Cadila and Unichem are expected to post
lower growth in sales on account of slowdown in consumer business
and domestic formulations respectively.
􀂃 EBITDA to grow by marginally by ~10%
We expect the EBIDTA of the coverage universe to witness lower
growth of ~10% YoY to |2523 crore due to factors like MTM provision
by Glenmark for restated forex loans and sharp de-growth in case of
Aurobindo and Unichem.
􀂃 Net profit to grow by 2% YoY on back of translation losses
We expect the net profit of the coverage universe to grow by just ~2%
on the back of MTM losses and increase in the tax rates. Although the
government has given option to the companies to do away with the
practice of providing MTM losses in the P&L, we have not considered
this relief in our calculation for want of company specific details. Hence
actual PAT numbers may vary significantly.



Company specific view
Company Remarks
Aurobindo
Pharma
Aurobindo’s sales are expected to decline 3% YoY due to lower licensing income.

under pressure due to higher spends on corrective measures and power cost. We
expect company to post net loss of | 32 crore on the back of MTM losses.

comparable basis, we expect sales to grow by 17% on the back of new launches in
the domestic market. EBITDA margins are expected to improve by ~440 bps YoY due
to exit from low margin Axicorp.

by women healthcare and Anti-infective segments.

base and improvement in realisation.
