Hospital business: Steady performance, occupancy to improve in FY17-18


Growth in the standalone hospital business moderated to 9% in FY16 owing to relatively slow
growth in inpatient and inpatient volumes in Chennai and Hyderabad clusters, after healthy rate
of 13% in FY15. Owing to low volume growth and gradual decline in average length of stay
(ALOS), occupancy dipped to 63% in FY16 from 68% in FY15. However, average revenue per
occupied bed (ARPOB) increased 10.5% across clusters owing to richer case mix and focus
on international patients. As beds mature, we expect occupancy to improve and drive
incremental revenue.

Pharmacy business: Strong performance in FY16, margin to improve in the near term
The pharmacy business grew 31% in FY16 thanks to addition of new stores and integration of
pharmacy stores acquired from Hyderabad-based Hetero Pharmacy. EBITDA margin improved
to 3.6% in FY16 from 3.3% in FY15. With increased share of private labels and superior
performance of mature stores (opened before 2010), we expect the pharmacy business to grow
at 19% CAGR over FY16-18 owing to new store additions, maturing profile of existing stores
and improved EBITDA margin.
Consolidated revenue estimated to increase at a two-year CAGR of 18%
Revenue is estimated to grow at a two-year CAGR of 18% to 84.6 bn in FY18, driven by
hospitals and pharmacy businesses. We expect PAT to increase at a CAGR of 17% to 4.1 bn
in FY18 owing to consolidation of operations at mature and new facilities. As the company has
executed most of its expansion plans, we expect capital expenditure (capex) to be ~40% lower
in FY17-18 compared with capex in FY15-16.
Fair value maintained at 1,510
Our discounted cash flow (DCF)-based fair value is maintained at 1,510 per share. At this
value, the implied EV/EBITDA multiples are 25.6x FY17E and 21.4x FY18E EBITDA. At the
current market price of 1,338, our valuation grade is 4/5.

Fundam ental Grade

Private healthcare industry leader Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd (Apollo) is in consolidation
and operationalisation mode across verticals hospitals, pharmacy and retail healthcare after
expansion-led consistent growth over the past four years. During this period, It commissioned
~2,000 beds and added more than 800 pharmacy stores. In FY15, the company acquired the
businesses of Nova Specialty Hospital Ltd and Sanofi India Ltd to enhance its presence in retail
healthcare. Given Apollos proven management capabilities, strong brand value and vast
experience in the healthcare industry, we remain positive about its future prospects and
maintain the fundamental grade of 5/5.

Grading Rationale
Consolidation of operations to drive incremental growth
Apollos hospital and pharmacy businesses have grown consistently over the past four years.
Revenue from the hospital business

In the hospital business, it added 1,945 beds in the past three years and plans to add 545

expected to increase at 17% CAGR

beds in FY17 and 500 beds in FY19 to complete the current phase of expansion. The

over FY16-18

company is now focusing on operationalising the newly added facilities and consolidating its
market position. Revenue from new beds, majority of which are super speciality beds, and
higher occupancies across clusters are expected to trigger incremental growth in the near to
medium term.
The pharmacy business revenue increased at a CAGR of 30% over FY12-16, led by store
additions and ramp-up in maturing stores. Apollo added 602 stores organically between
FY13 and Q1FY17. In FY15, it acquired Hetero stores, of which 278 stores are operational
as of Q1FY17. In FY16, it inked a 20 mn deal with a leading European health and nutrition
firm Holland & Barrett to open 1,000 franchisees in India over the next five years. Over
the long term, this tie-up will help Apollo expand its product portfolio and strengthen its
market position in the pharmacy business.

Q1FY17

Hospital business: Relatively lower growth in FY16, occupancy


to improve in near term
Standalone healthcare revenue increased at a relatively lower rate of 9% in FY16 vis--vis
13% in FY15 owing to relatively low growth of 5.7% and 4.9% in inpatient (IP) and outpatient
(OP) volumes, respectively. Growth was driven largely by improvement in ARPOB and
decline in ALOS. A better case mix with focus on cardiology and neurosciences led to
ARPOB growth of 10.5% y-o-y to 28,036 in FY16. ALOS declined 5.9% in FY16 to 4.17
days vis--vis 4.43 days in FY15 owing to increased used of robotics and non-invasive
surgical procedures. Addition of beds, gradual decline in ALOS and relatively weak volume
growth of in-patients led to drop in occupancy to 63% in FY16 compared with 68% in FY15.
Going ahead, we expect revenue growth to be driven by a steady increase in ARPOB and
ramp-up in occupancy ratios across all clusters. However, successful ramp-up in operations
and augmentation of revenue will be key in the near term.

Apollo to benefit from growth in health insurance


Of all the non-life insurance segments in India, health insurance (27% of total non-life
insurance business) has grown the fastest in the past five years. Gross direct premium
income for health insurance grew at 24% CAGR over FY11-151 compared with 19% for the
overall non-life insurance industry. Despite healthy growth rates, Insurance Regulatory and
Development Authority (IRDA) estimates the penetration2 level of non-life insurance industry
at a relatively weak 0.7% in 2014, which is well below global standards. Low penetration
levels and high growth rates, especially in the health segment, augur well for private
healthcare players in India. Increase in health insurance coverage can support demand for
quality healthcare in the country. This is expected to benefit Apollo (Indias leading private

FY11 data includes premium income of standalone health insurers and specialised insurance (ECGC and AIC).

Insurance penetration is measured as ratio of premium (in US dollars) to GDP (in US dollars)

healthcare player) as it can consistently see increase in ARPOB, broadly in line with growth
in the health insurance industry.

International patients also aid in improvement of ARPOB


India is one of the fastest emerging destinations for medical tourism. The number of people
visiting the country for medical treatments increased at a robust CAGR of 51%3 over FY1316. Apollo, being a leading player in the private healthcare industry, is well placed to benefit
from this opportunity. Over the medium term, management plans to double the international
business, which is currently at 15-18% of hospital revenue. Increase in share of international
patients is expected to help the company improve its ARPOB and profitability in the long
term. As of March 2016, Apollo has six Joint Commission International (JCI)4 accredited
hospitals and 14 National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare (NABH)5
accredited hospitals, which will help it capitalise on international patients.

CAGR for FY13-16 has been calculated by annualising the number of medical visa in the half-year ended June 2016

Chennai cluster: Steady increase in volumes and ARPOB drive revenue


growth in FY16
The Chennai cluster reported stable performance in FY16 driven by volume growth and
increase in ARPOB. We expect revenue to grow at a CAGR of 15% over FY16-18 driven by
higher IP and OP volumes and a steady increase in ARPOB. We expect occupancy to
improve to 67% in FY18 as there are no further capacity expansions planned in the near
term at this cluster. The company increased operational beds to 1,526 in FY16 from 1,159
in FY12, causing occupancy at this cluster to dip to 63% in FY16 from 75% in FY12.
In FY16, revenue increased 10.8% against 12.1% in FY15. IP volumes increased 8.4%, but
OP increased at a relatively low rate of 2.7% owing to the impact of floods in December
2015. ARPOB improved at a healthy rate of 14.9% to 39,380 per day in FY16 owing to a
richer case mix and a marginal price increase of ~2%. ALOS continued to decline gradually,
to 3.95 days in FY16 from 4.43 days in FY15.

Hyderabad cluster: Volumes stable; ARPOB-led growth in FY16


The Hyderabad clusters revenue reported moderate growth of 7.7% in FY16 vis--vis 8.5%
in FY15, driven by increase in ARPOB. We expect ARPOB to continue to be the main growth

Occupancy at the Hyderabad

cluster to improve gradually

international patients increase at this cluster, thereby improving its case mix. In FY16,
ARPOB increased 14.7% to 26,471 per day owing to reduction in subsidised scheme-based
cases and a richer case mix. Weak growth in IP volumes and reduction in ALOS to four days
in FY16 compared to 4.15 days in FY15 caused occupancy to drop to 60% in FY16 from
63% in FY15. Going forward, growth in IP and OP volumes is a key monitorable.

Volume growth to be key in tier II/III cities


Tier II/III cities saw healthy revenue growth of 12.6% in FY16 driven by capacity expansion
and steadily increasing ARPOB. As part of the expansion phase, Apollo operationalised 841
beds over FY12-16 in tier II/III cities, taking the total to 2,087 operational beds in FY16. In
Vizag and Malleswaram, 245 beds and 190 beds, respectively, were commissioned. Growth
was also driven by a steady increase of 9.3% in ARPOB to 16,347 per day. ALOS declined
to 4.5 days in FY16 from 4.8 days in FY15. Owing to capacity expansion and decline in
ALOS, occupancy dipped to 57% in FY16 from 63% in FY15.
With steady growth of ~10% in IP volumes in FY17-18 and no major bed additions expected
in the near term (except expansion of 65 beds in Indore in Q3FY17), we expect occupancy
at these hospitals to improve and revenue to grow at a CAGR of 13% over FY16-18.

FY13 hospitals broke even, new ones to ramp up


While the FY13 batch of REACH hospitals broke even at the EBITDA level in FY15, the
FY14-15 batch is yet to break even. The combined EBITDA of hospitals in Jayanagar and
Vanagaram (commissioned in FY13) increased to 195 mn in FY16 from 68 mn in FY15
driven by volume growth of 20% and 15%, respectively. New hospitals commissioned in
FY14-15 - Trichy, Nashik, Women and Child (OMR and SMR), Nellore and Perungudi - along
with the FY16 batch (Vizag and Malleswaram) reported combined EBITDA loss of 216 mn
in FY16.
As the focus now shifts to operationalising projects, we expect volumes to ramp-up at the
new hospitals, thereby increasing occupancy. Moreover, we expect the batch of new
hospitals to positively contribute to EBITDA from FY19 onwards.

ALOS (RHS)

Current phase of expansion near completion


The current phase of expansion is near completion as most hospitals that were initially
planned have been commissioned in the past three years. Apollo has added 1,945 beds
across 11 locations over the past 36 months. It plans to add another 545 beds in FY17 via
expansion of 65 beds in an existing location in Indore and commissioning of a new 480-bed
multi-speciality hospital at Navi Mumbai. Moreover, Apollo acquired 51% stake in the 220bed Assam Hospitals Ltd in Guwahati for 573 mn in FY16, where it plans to upgrade and
expand the capacity of the existing facility to 300 beds and introduce new services.

Commissioning of new hospitals delayed owing to regulatory and lease


issues
As per management, hospitals in Byculla (Mumbai) and south Chennai (including Proton)
have been delayed to FY19 owing to delays in obtaining the required approvals.

Proton Therapy Centre, Chennai - The Atomic Energy Regulatory Boards approval
was received in FY16. After the approval, management has started developing the site
in south Chennai. We expect the Proton technology to be commissioned in FY20 as we
expect the time required to fully operationalise the hospital to be 30-36 months.

Byculla, Mumbai Delay in receipt of necessary approvals and issues relating to the
lease of land have held up progress until Q1FY17. We expect the Byculla Hospital to
be operational by FY21. We have factored in delays in our projections accordingly, but
delays beyond the estimated time may impact our projections.

Patna Since the company could not acquire land for the hospital, it was dropped from
the expansion plan in FY16. Setting up a new hospital in Patna would now be contingent
on the companys ability to acquire land at a reasonable price.

Pharmacy business on growth trajectory, margin expected to


improve further
Apollo Pharmacy, Indias largest pharmacy chain, continued to demonstrate strong business
performance. Revenue increased 31% to 23,237 mn in FY16. Continuous expansion of
pharmacy stores and timely closure of non-performing stores have been growth catalysts.
As of Q1FY17, Apollo has 2,383 stores (including 278 Hetero stores) in India.
Revenue from mature stores also saw healthy growth. Revenue per store from the mature
batch (opened until FY10) increased 13.5% in FY16, whereas revenue per store from the
non-mature batch (excluding revenue from Hetero) grew 15.4% in FY16.
In FY15, the company acquired the chain of Hetero stores, located in Telangana, Andhra
Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Though Hetero stores made losses in FY16, we expect them to
turn around in future. Optimising inventory and logistics costs, and leveraging Apollos brand
value would help the company ramp up sales in these stores. Sale of high-margin private
labels (through Hetero) would also lead to improvement in the pharmacy business
profitability.
We expect growth to moderate slightly but continue at a CAGR of 19.3% over FY16-18 owing
to steady growth in revenue from the existing stores and continuous addition of new stores.

Ramp-up in revenue and sales of private labels to improve EBITDA margin


Over the past three years, mature stores EBITDA margin has improved significantly. The
combined EBITDA margin of stores opened before FY10 improved to 6.1% in FY16 from
4.2% in FY13. Constant growth in revenue per store, as they mature, and rising contribution
of private labels led to increase in EBITDA margin.
We expect EBITDA margin to improve further as revenue from non-mature stores is
estimated to increase to 12.4 mn per store in FY18 from 8.8 mn in FY16. The share of
high-margin private labels is expected to rise from 6.7% in FY16, as the company targets
private label sales in the newly acquired stores of Hetero as well.

Retail healthcare: An emerging opportunity


Apollo, through its wholly owned subsidiary AHLL, has been increasing its presence in retail
healthcare. To gain a strong foothold in this space, in FY15, the company a) acquired the
short-stay surgery chain of Nova Specialty Hospitals and b) tied up with Sanofi for expanding
its sugar clinic business. As of Q1FY17, Apollo has 42 sugar clinics, 71 dental clinics, eight
cradles and 11 day care and short-stay surgery centres.
Growth in the retail business has been relatively weak. In FY16, AHLLs revenue increased
12% to 1,242 mn. However, the company reported an EBITDA loss of 420 mn compared
to a loss of 289 mn in FY15, owing to the newly acquired businesses. We expect losses to
continue over the next two years wherein the company is expected to revamp existing
facilities with marginal additions to capex. Though long-term growth of the business depends
on managements expansion plan, we expect the company to be able to leverage its brand
equity and hospital expertise to grow this business in the next few years.

13

Diagnostics business: Retail healthcares vanguard


The diagnostics chain business could be a key driver of AHLLs margin owing to the healthy
prospects of the Indian diagnostic industry. We expect the Indian diagnostic industry to
continue to grow 16-18% to ~600 bn by FY18. Focus on evidence-based treatment,
increasing share of lifestyle related diseases and rising demand for better healthcare
services make 16-18% growth sustainable in the near to medium term.
Despite intense competition in the industry, we expect AHLLs diagnostic business to do well
owing to large demand-supply gap in the healthcare industry and Apollos strong brand value
in the healthcare space. As of March 2016, Apollo has 172 primary care and diagnostics
clinics. Management plans to open ~2,000 collection centres (CC) in the next five years
which would aid volume growth in this business. Volume growth at diagnostics centres could
also lead to growth of IP and OP volumes for the hospital business as patients are likely to
be referred to Apollos own hospitals for treatment.
Diagnostic centers can potentially generate RoCE of ~20% in stable growth phase
We have analysed the business model of diagnostics chains to understand potential margin
and return ratios. For this, we have analysed returns generated by a diagnostic chain
operating for 10 years in a metropolitan city.
Investments: We assume majority of investments to take place in the initial five years of
operations. Initial setup cost for a lab is 20-25 mn and that of a CC is 0.2-0.5 mn.
Fixed costs: Typically, 50-60% of costs are fixed in nature - comprising employee expenses
and lease rentals. Hence, operating leverage of this business is relatively high.
Margin: High operating leverage causes returns to be highly dependent on volumes. A 10%
reduction in business volumes could moderate EBITDA margin by 500-600 bps.

Key Risks
Delays in commissioning of new hospitals
Management expects facilities in south Chennai (200 beds) and Byculla, Mumbai (300 beds)
to be commissioned by FY19. The facility in Byculla has been behind schedule for over three
years; the original plan was to commission it by FY16. We have factored delays in our
projections. However, higher-than-expected delays or cost over-runs at these projects can
impact our projections and valuations.

Unavailability of skilled talent at new facilities


As the company now looks to ramp up operations and consolidate its position in the new
markets, it would be imperative for management to acquire and retain highly skilled talent at
these facilities. Unavailability of skilled professionals or inability to retain key doctors at some
of the relatively newer locations could impact patient volumes at those locations.

High real estate prices


Land and buildings typically account for 45-50% of the total capital cost in setting up a
hospital. High real estate prices, especially in metros and tier I cities, effect the commercial
viability of hospitals. Though Apollo has already procured land for its south Chennai hospital
(Proton), its retail healthcare and pharmacy expansion plans are exposed to the risk of
increase in prices.

15

Financial Outlook
Revenue to grow at a two-year CAGR of 18%
We expect Apollos consolidated revenue to grow at a two-year CAGR of 18% to 84.6 bn
by FY18. The hospital business revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17% to 51.5 bn
in FY18 driven by growth in the existing hospitals and contribution from new hospitals. The
pharmacy business revenue is expected to increase at a two-year CAGR of 19% to 33.1
bn in FY18 driven by addition of ~190 stores per year and same store revenue growth of 1516%.

EBITDA margin to improve by 10 bps in FY18


We expect EBITDA margin to marginally improve in FY18 after contraction in FY17, as new
hospitals start ramping up operations. The pharmacy business margin is expected to expand
60 bps to 4.2% in FY18. Mature hospitals margins are expected to see a marginal
improvement of 0.1% driven by better occupancy and a richer case mix. However, initial
operating losses from newly added beds along with losses at the retail healthcare facilities
will keep margin improvement relatively low in the near term.

PAT to register 17% growth in next two years


We expect consolidated PAT to grow at a two-year CAGR of 17% to 4.1 in FY18 bn owing
to consolidation of operations, consequently leading to healthy revenue growth and a slight
improvement in EBITDA margin. Moreover, as the company has executed most of its
expansion plans, we expect the capex to be ~40% lower in FY17-18 compared to capex in
FY15-16. Adjusted EPS is expected to increase to 29.5 in FY18 from 21.7 in FY16.

in FY18 from 27 bn in FY16. Gearing (gross debt to equity) is expected to remain stable at
0.7x.

Management Overview
CRISIL's fundamental grading methodology includes a broad assessment of management
quality, apart from other key factors, such as industry and business prospects, and financial
performance.

Experienced and professional top management


Apollo has a strong top management with over three decades of experience in the healthcare
industry. The top management is headed by Mr Pratap Reddy (Founder and Executive
Chairman) along with his four daughters Ms. Preetha Reddy (Executive Vice Chairperson),
Ms. Suneeta Reddy (Managing Director), Mrs Shobana Kamineni (Executive Vice
Chairperson) and Ms. Sangita Reddy (Joint Managing Director).
The top management has stayed committed to the growth of the group. From a ~150-bed
hospital in 1983 to becoming the largest private healthcare player in India, comprising of 70
hospitals with capacity of ~9,700 beds and ~2,400 pharmacy stores as of Q1FY17, Apollo
has grown organically and inorganically. The company has increased clinician strength to
more than 7,000 in FY16 from ~4,500 in FY12. Ramping up operations at the new hospitals
and turning around loss-making locations/businesses into profitable entities are key
monitorables for management.

Supported by a strong second line of management


Though the company is family-driven, it has a strong second line of management,
represented by Dr. K. Hariprasad (President Hospitals Division), Mr S.K. Venkataraman
(Chief Strategy Officer) and Mr Krishnan Akhileswaran (Chief Financial Officer). Based on
our interaction with management, we believe the second line is well aligned to ably support
the top management team.

Succession plan in place


We believe there is a well-defined succession plan in place. After Mr Prathap Reddys
retirement, Ms. Preetha Reddy is expected to take over Mr Reddys responsibilities. Given
reasonably well-defined roles and responsibilities, we do not foresee any succession issues

Corporate Governance
CRISILs fundamental grading methodology includes a broad assessment of corporate
governance and management quality, apart from other key factors such as industry and
business prospects, and financial performance. In this context, CRISIL Research analyses
the shareholding structure, board composition, typical board processes, disclosure
standards and related-party transactions. Any qualifications by regulators or auditors also
serve as useful inputs while assessing a companys corporate governance.
We perceive corporate governance at Apollo to be good based on a fairly independent board
with relevant experience, periodic disclosure of key operating parameters and healthy quality
of earnings.

Composition of board
Apollos board consists of 13 members, of whom eight are independent directors (ID),
thereby meeting the regulatory requirements. Most IDs are of strong repute and are on
boards of other major organisations. Mr N Vaghul is on the board of Wipro, Piramal
Enterprise, etc.; and Mr Sanjay Nayar is on the board of Magma Fincorp, Grameen Capital,
etc.

Superior disclosure levels and transparency in financial


reporting
Based on information furnished in the annual reports, presentations, websites and quarterly
earnings call, we believe Apollos disclosure levels are superior. For instance, the company
provides cluster-wise performance of hospitals on a quarterly basis. We believe the
information provided is sufficient to assess and understand the business performance
holistically.

Other key observations


Good quality of earnings: Quality of earnings is good as indicated by positive cash flows
generated from operations over the past five years.
Maintained healthy dividend pay-out: Over the past few years, the company has
maintained a healthy dividend pay-out of 24-26%. Additionally, it has declared an interim
dividend of 6 per share in March 2016, thus having a dividend pay-out of 25%6 in FY16.
Transparent systems and processes: Based on our interactions with the company over
the past few years, we opine that its governance systems and processes are adequate. It
has all the necessary committees in place audit, remuneration, and investor grievances
etc.
Long tenure of auditors: M/s Viswanathan has been the auditor of the company for over
10 years. Long tenure may impede the objectivity of the auditor.

Dividend payout ratio of 25% is calculated based on reported basic EPS of 23.8
