Ajanta Pharma (APL) posted yet another stellar result with higher than
expected EBITDA margins at 36.2% v/s 32.8%qoq/33.0% yoy. This is the the
highest ever margins in the history of the company. Key reason for the
improvement is the higher contribution from branded business (as against
institution business which is stagnant due to the new tender rule). Sales has
come in-line of expectations at Rs 362.6 cr, a growth of 20.5%. The
management has maintained its full year sales growth guidance of 20% with
higher EBITDA margins of 32-33% (earlier it was 30%).


Domestic markets grew by 36.1% yoy, much higher than industry average
and its peers led by all around healthy growth like in Cardio (37% yoy),
Dermatology (15%) and Ophthalmology (37%) segments.
The company has launched six products in the domestic segment including
two first to market. Management has reiterated its stance of growing
deeper in the existing therapies and not intended to foray into any new
therapy as of now.
Exports to Emerging Markets posted growth of 15% yoy, backed by 25%
growth in Asia and 4% in Africa (sales was impacted due to new rule of
tender business). APL has launched 8 new products in the emerging
markets and has a strong pipeline of 1672 products under registration to
ensure the continued growth.
The company has maintained its share in the Risperidone product (only
product launched in US) and got Rs 1 cr of sales from it in Q3FY15 (YTD Rs 3
cr). It expects to garner around $1mn revenues in next year. Albeit small,
we believe it is a start of revenues from regulated markets. We expect FY17
to be meaningful year for the company in terms of US revenues.
APL’s Dahej formulation facility’s (Rs 196 cr spent) construction is
completed and is undergoing qualification. The company expects
regulatory filing batches to commence from Q1FY16. Savli facility (Rs 180 cr
capex, spent Rs 15 cr) construction is marginally delayed and expected to
start now from Q1FY16 and likely to be completed by Q4FY17.
The company has announced stock split from Rs 5 FV to Rs 2 FV.

Valuation & Recommendation
Corporate Bodies
1.88
We have factored in 21% growth with 32% EBITDA for FY15 (against 30% earlier
assumption). The company has healthy balance sheet (debt:equity is 0.13x) and
strong return ratios (more than 35%). The stock has re-rated substantially in
last four years. The growth momentum and improving profitability gives
comfort gives support to our long term outlook, however, due to stretched
valuations (24.5x on FY16E) we recommend investors to book partial profits at
current levels and HOLD balance for long term for price target of Rs 2870 (22x
of FY17E EPS)
