First post-Ranbaxy guidance reflects short to mid-term headwinds

Sun Pharma has provided its first integrated FY16 guidance in a surprise
pre-earnings conference call. The management also discussed other
issues like R&D, compliance issues at Halol as well as all four Ranbaxy
facilities and synergy benefits. It expects muted revenue growth in FY16
and also some dents in its profitability on account of the Ranbaxy
integration and various remedial measures at facilities under the USFDA
embargo. It expects revenue impact mainly due to portfolio rationalisation
owing to discontinuation of some of Ranbaxys nonperforming assets and
supply disruption due to ongoing remedial measures at Halol. Profitability
margins are expected to be impacted by higher remedial cost and
integration charges. The management has also indicated that most
remedial, integration and rationalisation costs are one-offs. Post these
measures, it believes the company will be well placed to register higher
than industry growth rates in subsequent years.
Synergy benefit target enhanced by 15-20%
The company has enhanced its guidance for synergy benefit by 15-20%
over its original guidance of US$250 million by FY18. It expects to achieve
this by overall profitability improvement driven by revenue and
procurement synergies, manufacturing rationalisation and various
additional cost management measures. The above synergy guidance
does not include plant resolution related improvements.
Forms new team in US for MK-3222 (Tildrakizumab; Dermatology)
The company has strengthened its ophthalmology and OTC teams in the
US as well as formed a dedicated team for MK-3222, IL-23 anti-body,
which is currently undergoing phase-III clinical trials.
Other highlights
The company expects the Halol plant issue to get resolved post FY16
by fulfilment of required conditions. Sun is also contemplating site
transfer for key Halol products in case of eventuality
Sun plans to expand Ranbaxys Domestic OTC to other geographies
It expects increased R&D spends by ~200 bps in the next two years
The FY16 guidance includes gGleevec launch under exclusivity
Reality check ahead of new normal; downgrade to HOLD
In sync with the muted guidance, we have revised our FY16E sales,
EBITDA and PAT estimates by 15%, 29% and 38% respectively. Similarly
we have reduced our FY17E sales, EBITDA and PAT estimates by 12%,
11% and 15%, respectively. We believe the company is at an inflection
point as the strategic decisions and integration related costs at Ranbaxy
besides successful resolution of Halol issue will determine sustained
profitability in future. The management also expects growth to normalise
from FY17 onwards based on the current set of actions. However, due to
uncertainty post the Ranbaxy consolidation and volatile history of
Ranbaxy, we are sceptical of the companys near to medium term growth.
The hitherto seamless journey of Sun seems to be a thing of past as the
company prepares to fathom the Ranbaxy integration and Halol type
compliance issues. Our revised target price is | 850 based on 26x FY17E
EPS of | 32.6. We expect normalcy to return from Q1FY17 onwards.
