Margin recovery hinges on key launches, cost control…

About The Stock

Glenmark’s business is separated into three entities –

  • Glenmark Pharmaceuticals for building a global generic, specialty and OTC business in therapy areas of dermatology, respiratory, oncology among others
  • Glenmark Life Sciences for manufacturing and marketing APIs
  • Innovation new company (ICHNOS) to focus on discovery and development of novel, first‐in‐class treatments in therapeutic areas of immunology, oncology and pain encompassing both NBEs as well as NCEs
Q3FY23

In line revenues but EBITDA margins miss.

  • Revenues increased 9.2% YoY to ₹ 3463 crore
  • EBITDA was at ₹ 432 crore, down 10.5% YoY with margins at 17.9
  • Adjusted PAT was at ₹ 239 crore (down 40.4% YoY)
What should Investors do?

Glenmark’s share price has grown at 8.64% CAGR over the past three years.

  • Maintain HOLD as we await EBITDA margin sustainability besides persisting US base business pressure amid regulatory hurdles at Monroe facility
Target Price and Valuation

Valued at ₹ 440 i.e. 8x FY25E EPS of ₹ 54.8

Key Triggers for future price performance
  • In the US, regulatory clearance for newly commissioned US based Monroe facility will be the key determinant for future launches
  • Traction for Ryaltris in global markets along with the launch in the US
  • In India, it is the market leader in dermatology and improving its presence in respiratory, CVS, anti-infectives and anti-diabetics, in particular. It has also forayed into consumer health segment focusing on Rx-OTC switch products led by two brands, Candid and Scalpe+
  • Progress on the margins front amid cost rationalisation measures and decline in R&D expenses as percentage of sales
Alternate Stock Idea

Apart from Glenmark, in healthcare coverage we like Ajanta.

  • Ajanta Pharma is a focused player in branded space with specific strategy for maximum number of first time launches with new drug delivery system
  • BUY with a target price of ₹ 1385
