    June 27, 2012 COMMENT China Pharmaceutical Group (1093.HK) HK$2.05 Equity Research Acquisition of finished drug businesses reduces bulk exposure News China Pharm has announced the acquisition of three finished drug companies from its parent for a total consideration of HK$8.98 bn (HK$2.271 bn equity and HK$6.708 bn in convertible bonds). Total 2011 NPAT of the acquired companies was Rmb314 mn (HK$383mn) in 2011 (vs HK$233 mn for China Pharm). China Pharm also stated that net tangible assets of the acquired companies will be no less than HK$950 mn at completion. Assuming an HK$600mn/HK$800mn earnings contribution as guided by China Pharm for target companies in 2012E/13E, we calculate EPS accretion will be HK$0.103/0.137 on a fully converted basis post share allotment and CB issuance respectively, which gives an acquisition P/E multiple of 15x/11x for 2012/13E respectively. Analysis The acquisitions are: (1) CSPC OYY, owning four pharma manufacturing sites with GMP standards and four bulk drugs production lines meeting global standards. It manufactures over 200 pharma products, including Azithromycin capsules, Alendronate sodium tablets and Levoamlodipine Maleate tablets.
