Edelweiss Wealth Research Max Healthcare Institute Praveen Sahay Research Analyst [email protected] Date: May 3, 2021 Max Healthcare Institute A sustainable growth story Max Healthcare Institute Ltd. (MHI) is one of India’s leading hospital chains with 16 facilities Praveen Sahay and ~3,400 beds. MHI was formed after the merger of Max Healthcare and Radiant (effective Research Analyst 1st Jun’20). The company’s major shareholders are Kayak Investments – an affiliate of KKR [email protected] (~49%) and Mr. Abhay Soi – MHI’s CMD (22%). Besides the core hospital business, MHI has also launched two related businesses that are run as separate business units (SBUs) – Max@Home (providing preventive and pre/post-hospitalization care at home) and MaxLab (offering diagnostics services). We believe MHI meets all our key investment considerations – it has a CMP: INR 227 superior case mix, brand power, quality of care, cost efficiencies and presence in premium Rating: Tactical BUY markets. We recommend a ‘Tactical BUY’ on the stock with a target price of INR293/share. Target Price: INR 293 Presence in premium markets with superior case mix leading to higher ARPOB Upside: 29% MHI is focused on the premium markets in India, namely Delhi NCR and Mumbai. The two metros deliver the highest average revenue per occupied bed (ARPOB) and are the most profitable markets in the country (72% of MHI’s beds are in Delhi NCR) due to high (a) demand-supply mismatch, (b) per capita income and (c) insurance penetration. MHI enjoys higher ARPOB compared to peers largely due to higher share of operational beds in metros/northern urban areas and a superior case mix. Moreover, MHI has the largest bone marrow transplant (BTM) Bloomberg: MAXHEALTH:IN programme in Asia and the largest Oncology programme in North India. Thus, MHI is further 52-week expected to generate higher ARPOBs on account of such complex treatments. 97 / 239 range (INR): Long-term structural cost-savings programme to boost margins further MHI’s focus on cost-saving initiatives and strategic capital management activities helped it to Share in issue (cr): 97 achieve operational efficiency and stable earnings. The company’s operating matrix too has M cap (INR cr): 21,145 improved QoQ – it recorded record-high quarterly EBITDA margin in Q3FY21, mainly due to its long-term structural cost savings programme. Thus, we believe MHI is geared up to achieve Promoter 75.25 industry-leading margins by FY23E, which coupled with higher growth would give management Holding (%) an opportunity to unlock synergies. Expansion plan to help MHI sustain leadership position in premium markets Hospital availability in India is weak compared to the global average. Therefore, private hospital chains in India are more focused on increasing their reach and garnering volumes (patients) in the country. MHI has the means to execute brownfield capacity expansion in premium locations of South Delhi and Mumbai with minimal capex. This is a unique opportunity for MHI to expand capacity in the country without compromising its RoCE. Outlook and valuation; Recommend Tactical BUY with 29% upside potential MHI’s new management has successfully addressed challenges that were earlier plaguing the company like high debt and bloated costs. Under the leadership of Chairman, Mr. Abhay Soi, (who has skin in the game with ~22% stake in MHI), the company has witnessed a spectacular turnaround. In less than two years, MHI’s EBITDA margin has crossed the 23% mark (for many years, it was languishing in single digits). Further, management is also focused on cost rationalisation, efficient utilisation of facilities, lighter balance sheet and expansion in existing geographies. We believe MHI deserves superior valuations because of its presence in premium markets and excellent business mix compared to peers. The stock is a ‘Tactical BUY’ with a target price of INR293/share (we have considered an average of DCF and EV/EBITDA to arrive at our blended target price).
