Pharmaceuticals
ƒ Consolidated topline to grow at ~15% YoY
The pharma companies under the I-Direct coverage are expected to
post steady growth of ~15% to | 12642 crore on the back of new niche
product launches and a favourable rupee (~11% YoY) movement.
Excluding Biocon’s Axicorp divestment (| 232 crore) and Strides’ Ascent
divestments (~| 175 crore) in Q4FY11, the like to like growth is
expected to be ~20%. Companies like Glenmark, Lupin and Sun are
expected to register healthy growth in sales driven by incremental
launches in the US and emerging markets. Divi’s Labs and Jubilant are
also expected to register good numbers on account of a revival in
CRAMS.  Cadila  is  expected  to  post  lower  sales  growth  on  account  of
slowdown in consumer business. Similarly, Aurobindo is also expected
to post lower growth due to lesser product launches in the US market.
ƒ EBITDA to grow ~40% YoY
We expect the EBIDTA of the coverage universe to witness robust
growth of ~40% YoY to | 3042 crore due to factors like 1) weeding out
of one-time provisions in Q4FY11, 2) possible write-back of MTM
provisions by players like Glenmark and 3) sharp improvement in
profitability of Taro (Sun).
ƒ Net profit to post robust growth of 29% YoY  
We expect the net profit of the coverage universe to post robust growth
of ~29% YoY to | 2193 crore on the back of 1) higher EBITDA and 2)
partial reversal of MTM losses, which was booked in Q3FY12.

Aurobindo
Pharma
Aurobindo’s sales are expected to grow 9% YoY on the back of growth in the EU
formulation business. EBITDA margins will remain under pressure due to higher
spends on corrective measures and power cost. We expect the company to write
back | 70 crore of MTM losses, booked in earlier quarters
Biocon We expect sales (ex-AxiCorp) to grow just 10% YoY due to absence of licensing
income as Pfizer exited the Biosimilar deal. Biopharma and CRAMS will grow by 15%
and 20%, respectively. EBITDA margins are expected to improve by ~440 bps YoY
