Institutional Equities Pharmaceutical Sector 29 September 2020 Scenario Analysis for Large cap Pharma – FY21E-24E Vishal Manchanda In the near to medium term (FY21–FY24), earnings growth trajectory for most large cap Research Analyst pharma names in the sector will be driven by timing of monetization of their complex [email protected] generic pipeline and innovation led NCE opportunities in the US. We do a sensitivity +91 9737437148 analysis of these complex generic opportunities / NCE opportunities on the earnings Gaurang Sakare for the large cap companies under our coverage to arrive a bull, base and bear case Research Associate scenario. We estimate the impact of delay or failure to monetize the pipeline on [email protected] potential earnings for these companies – FY21 – FY24. Apart from complex generics, +9122 6273 8093 other elements that can meaningfully influence earnings in the medium term is also the IPM growth and scale up around biosimilar initiatives / successful vaccine approval for select companies. Complex Generic Pipeline is robust for most players and we are in early phase of monetization: In case of Lupin and Cipla, they have a pipeline of respiratory assets that they would look to execute in the US. For Sun pharma, there is lower visibility on the complex generic ANDA pipeline, but scale up of specialty asset is the key earnings driver. The ANDA pipeline of Sun pharma has complex ophthalmic and injectable assets, but the approval timelines remain unknown. Dr. Reddy has multiple assets on the complex generic side which include – gNuvaring, gCopaxone, gVascepa, bRituxan, gRevlimid and gKuvan. Likewise, Biocon, will be focusing on approval for their biosimilar assets –bAvastin and bNovolog, and Sector Update Sector scale up of bLantus in the US. Cadila is targeting transdermal approvals for the US market and they have 7 in pipeline, which are expected to be monetized in FY22 and onwards. The execution on complex generics so far has not met expectations, but with most these pipeline opportunities having gone through multiple review cycles, we need to be optimistic., In case of Aurobindo pharma, it continues to scale up US business as their ANDA basket that awaits approval in the US is skewed towards higher margin segments (ophthalmic, injectable, peptides). In addition, they are also looking to leverage their sales base in Europe for high margin launches. IPM Growth – Select COVID driven opportunities (vaccine, preventive care and treatments) plus restoration of normalcy in lifestyle will help recovery: IPM growth will be subdued (low to mid-single digit) in FY21 on account of COVID but should recover in FY22 and onwards as there is normalization. The slowdown in FY21 is led by a decline in acute drug sales and a decline in patients visiting doctors for chronic ailments. The extent of recovery will depend on the availability of vaccines and how we see the COVID situation evolving. Availability of vaccine is expected around 1QFY22 time frame, however looking at the increasing scale of infection, development of herd immunity leading to a natural suppression of COVID crisis may not be ruled out. Assuming a cost of Rs. 500 per patient for COVID vaccination, the COVID vaccine opportunity may be worth about Rs. 20000 crore at 30% penetration level. The key beneficiaries could be companies that are indeginiously working on a COVID vaccine (Cadila healthcare) or one’s with a large distribution network / manufacturing capability that allows to tie them up with Global COVID vaccine manufacturer. Biosimilar Ramp up in Emerging Markets: Biosimilar approvals in Emerging Markets can be a major growth driver for the pharmaceutical companies. Companies like Cadila healthcare are expecting traction in emerging market sales FY22 and onwards. Biocon is an early mover on this front and has been able to build a base. Dr. Reddy is the other player that can build on this opportunity as they too have a meaningful portfolio of biosimilars to ride upon. Our Top Picks based on Scenario Analysis - Bull, Bear and Base Case Scenario: Based on our scenario analysis, we recommend Sun Pharma, Cipla and Aurobindo Pharma as our top picks. The choice of our top picks is driven by the upside that we can potentially see in the bull case and the downside risk in the even we see a bear case scenario playing out.

At this juncture, Aurobindo has the CMP: Rs801 largest revenue base in the US, which is largely driven by commoditized products and less by Target Price: Rs953 high-value opportunities and hence a large part of this is sustainable.
