R&D expenses to be high, as company plans to file 100 ANDA’s over the next

Investment arguments
Focus on chronic segment to drive domestic formulation growth: Alembic
Pharmaceuticals has been restructuring its business portfolio, which would aid in
improving its growth and operating performance. The company’s domestic
formulation business contributed 38% to its total sales in FY2017. The company
has a strong field force of ~3,600 medical representatives. Going forward, the
company expects its domestic formulation business to at least grow in-line with the
industry growth rate, before it sees an improvement in the share of the high growth
chronic segment. For FY2017-19E, we expect the domestic formulation business to
grow at a CAGR of 11.0%.
Exports - US the key growth driver: On the exports front, the formulation business
contributed 30% to the total turnover, with majority of the contribution coming
from Europe and the US. In the US, the company has filed for ~101 ANDAs till
date and received 58 approvals. The company, going forward, expects to keep its
momentum high in terms of number of filings, by filing around 100 ANDAs over
the next three years. For FY2017-19E, we expect exports to register a CAGR of
17.5%.
Outlook and valuation: Over FY2017-19E, we expect the company to post a
CAGR of 21.6% in sales, while profitability will be under pressure on the back of

higher R&D spend. The Net profit is expected to grow by CAGR of 12.8% yoy
during FY2017-19E. We recommend an Accumulate rating on the stock.
