Prabhudas Lilladher's research report on Torrent Pharmaceuticals
Torrent Pharma’s (TRP) has Rs 70bn (75% of total sales; including Curatio) worth of highly profitable branded formulation sales spread across India, Brazil and RoW markets. In the near term, Curatio acquisition will increase TRP’s net debt and we see this acquisition as EPS dilutive. Post factoring in Curatio acquisition, our EPS for FY23 and FY24 stands reduced by ~5%. However, the deal is a strategic fit for TRP, given that it gives presence in high growing cosmetic derma segment and can enhance profitability of Curatio portfolio with cost synergies, geographical expansion and price hike as well as accelerate the topline growth. Historically TRP have managed to integrate successfully Unichem and Elder acquisition which gives us comfort.
Outlook
We expect 18% EBITDA and 19% EPS CAGR over FY22-25E. Maintain ‘BUY’ rating with revised TP of Rs 1,850/share (Rs1,750 earlier), 17x EV/EBITDA as we roll forward to Sept 2024E.
