Muted Q2 - Revenue growth at 7% y-o-y; OPM down by 125 bps y-o-y


Torrent reported revenue growth of 7% y-o-y to Rs. 2,291 crore, backed by 19%, 13%, and 10% y-o-y growth
in Brazil, India, and RoW, respectively, while Europe (Germany) sales declined by 12% y-o-y. Gross margin
marginally declined by ~15 bps y-o-y to 72% and OPM at 29.6% contracted by 125 bps y-o-y. Operating
profit stood at Rs. 679 crore, up 2.9% y-o-y. The y-o-y increase can be attributed to the benefits of operating
leverage playing out. Adjusted PAT for the quarter declined by 1.3% y-o-y to Rs. 312 crore, owing to muted
revenue growth coupled with lower other income (down by 69% y-o-y). For H1FY2023, revenue grew by 7.8%
y-o-y to Rs. 4,553 crore, while PAT increased by 3.1% y-o-y to Rs. 666 crore. OPM declined by 111 bps y-o-y
to 30.6% in H1FY2023.
Torrent Pharma acquired a 100% stake in Curatio in Q2FY2023
Torrent entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% stake in Curatio Health Care (I) Private Limited
(Curatio), a dermatology company with a strong focus on cosmetic dermatology. The purchase consideration
for the deal was fixed at Rs. 2,000 crore, including Rs. 115 crore of cash and cash equivalents in the acquired
business (on the date of signing), indicating an enterprise value of Rs. 1,885 crore. The acquisition will be
funded through a mix of debt and internal accruals. The acquisition is in line with the company’s strategy to
focus on India market and fill the gaps in therapy areas. Long-term macro factors, which are favourable for
the acquisition, are growth in dermatology/cosmetics with increased disposable income. The acquisition of
Curatio is a long-term strategic fit for Torrent, as its strong brand portfolio provides immense scope for the
company to build a strong position in the domestic dermatology space.
Q2FY2023 Concall Highlights
Š India business growth ahead of the industry: Torrent’s India business grew by 13% y-o-y to Rs. 1,224 crore
in Q2FY2023. For H1FY2023, revenue was Rs. 2,468 crore, up 13%. Strong performance can be attributed
to new launches, robust performance of the top brands, and market outperformance in focused therapies.
As per AIOCD, the company reported growth of 19% (6% volume, 9% price, and 4% new products) versus
IPM growth of 13%. For the trade generic business, the current contribution is 2.5-3% and management has
indicated that it is steady and sustainable in the near term. The company expects the launch momentum
to continue. Management is positive on maintaining its leadership position in India. Overall, the growing
trade generics business, strong growth in branded generics, increased field force numbers, and a robust
product pipeline could be key growth drivers for the domestic business. Therefore, based on the above
drivers, Torrent expects to outpace IPM growth in FY2023. In the medium term, the company aims to grow
by 3% to 4% above market growth in the domestic business.
Š Brazil market expected to continue its growth momentum: Revenue from Brazil grew by 19% y-o-y
(10% in CC terms) to Rs. 185 crore. For H1FY2023, revenue was Rs. 369 crore, up by 20%. The company
experienced enhanced competition on one of its key launches, Rivaroxaban, and another cardio product,
which led to price reduction. Adjusted for these price reductions, growth for Q2 would have been close to
20%. As per the secondary data from IQVIA, Torrent’s branded generic business is currently growing at
14.4% as compared to the branded generic market growth of 12.1%. The company expects Brazil to continue
its growth momentum, backed by performance of the top brands, new launches, field force expansion as
well as generics division, and growth in double digits in FY2023. In the medium term, the company aims
to grow its Brazil business by 3% to 4% above market growth.
Š Muted quarter for the US business: US sales for the quarter stood at Rs. 292 crore, which is growth of 3%
y-o-y. For H1FY2023, revenue stood at Rs. 591 crore, up by 7%. Capacity utilisation in Q2 stood at 54% and
the company expects it to grow in the medium term. As on September 30, 2022, 48 ANDAs were pending
approval with the USFDA and three tentative approvals were received. USFDA inspected the company’s
manufacturing facility at Indrad, Gujarat. At the end of the inspections, the company got Form 43 with
three observations. The company has already responded to the USFDA within the stipulated time and
expects to hear back from the FDA in the next 90 days. As per management, there is no new capex being
done for US market. Moreover, the goal of the company is no longer to file a high double-digit number

3R Research Philosophy

of ANDAs but rather rebalance the R&D investment more in favour of markets like Brazil and Germany.
Having said that, there are no plans of the company to become non-competitive or to reduce presence in
the US. Going ahead, management sees US business to be under stress in the near-to-medium term as
competitive intensity is on the higher side and there is sustained price erosion, which could also impact
margins.
Š Another weak quarter for Europe (Germany): Revenue declined by 12% y-o-y to Rs. 220 crore. For
H1FY2023, revenue increased to Rs. 434 crore, down 15% y-o-y. Growth in Germany was impacted by tender
losses in the previous quarters. Torrent has already initiated measures to improve price competitiveness.
The company expects sales in Germany to pick up pace towards the end of the year. In the medium term,
Germany business is expected to deliver high single-digit growth and in the mid-to-high single digits if
there are more tenders (as it will lead to increased competition).
Š Margins to remain stable: Torrent’s OPM declined by 125 bps y-o-y to 29.6%. Management has indicated
that raw-material prices are expected to be stable in the near term. Moreover, the logistics cost has come
down to Q3FY2022 level. So, margins are expected to remain at the current level in the near term.

Outlook and Valuation


n Sector View - Growth momentum to improve
Indian pharmaceutical companies are better placed to harness opportunities and report healthy growth going
ahead. Indian companies are among the most competitive ones globally and hold a sizeable market share in
most developed as well as other markets. Moreover, other factors such as easing of pricing pressures (especially
in the US generics market), rise in product approvals, plant resolutions by the USFDA, strong growth prospects
in domestic markets, and emerging opportunities in the API space would be key growth drivers. This would
be complemented by strong capabilities developed by Indian companies (leading to a shift towards complex
molecules and biosimilars) and the commissioning of expanded capacities by select players over the medium
term. Collectively, this indicates a strong growth potential for pharmaceutical companies going ahead.
n Company Outlook – Indian and Brazilian businesses to stage strong growth
Torrent is a leading pharmaceutical company present in emerging as well as developed markets. The company
has a higher exposure to chronic therapies. Moreover, the company derives a substantial portion of its sales from
India, followed by the US, Germany, and Brazil, which collectively form the core markets. The company has been
outperforming in the Indian as well as Brazilian markets and management expects to sustain traction going ahead
as well and sees these geographies as key growth drivers. Moreover, the German business is expected to gain
traction and stage strong growth ahead, backed by growth in the base business and new product launches. The
company’s US business has been under pressure as two of its plants, which cater to US markets – Dahej and
Indrad – are under the USFDA’s scanner with OAI/WL classification. However, the Levittown plant has commenced
operations and the company expects to launch a new product in the US market from the plant, which could help
it mitigate pricing pressures. A timely and successful resolution of these USFDA observations at its two plants is
critical and could result in earnings upgrades upon resolution.
n Valuation – Retain Buy with an unchanged PT of Rs1,820
Torrent’s Q2 performance was soft. However, it sees a healthy outlook for India business, backed by expanding
reach, market share gains, and likely traction in the new trade generics division. Expected growth in the existing
portfolio, and plans to fortify presence in the covered markets would drive Brazilian sales growth, while elevated
cost pressures, price erosion, and delays in re-inspection for plants by USFDA could slow down US growth
momentum. Germany is expected to see a good recovery from H2. At the CMP, the stock trades at 38.1x/31.5x its
FY2023E and FY2024E. Given better growth prospects across Indian and Brazilian businesses, we retain our Buy
recommendation on the stock with an unchanged PT of Rs. 1,820.

About company
Torrent, the flagship company of Torrent Group, was incorporated in 1972. Torrent has a strong international
presence across 40 countries with operations in regulated and emerging markets such as the US, Europe,
Brazil, and RoW. The company operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries spread across 12 nations
with major setups in Brazil, Germany, and the US. The company is also one of the leading pharmaceutical
companies present in India as a dominant player in the therapeutic areas of cardiovascular (CV) and central
nervous system (CNS). The company also has a significant presence in gastro-intestinal, diabetology, anti-
infectives, and pain management segments.

Investment theme
Torrent continues to focus on a branded business mix from India and Brazil, which balances well for sustainable
growth in a challenging global environment for the pharma sector. US business is also stable. Operating
leverage from the acquired domestic business is visible from FY2020. Three manufacturing plants of Torrent
are reeling under regulatory issues with a warning letter being issued by the USFDA. Management expects
at least 12-15 months for the issues to be resolved; and till such time, approvals from these plants would be
withheld. Torrent has submitted its responses to the regulator and is awaiting a revert on this. Timely and
successful resolution of USFDA issues is critical from a growth perspective.

Key Risks
Š Slowdown in ANDA approvals and USFDA-related regulatory risks could hurt business prospects.
Š Delay in product launches in Brazil, Germany, and the US could restrict growth in these key geographies.
Š Currency fluctuation poses a risk to export businesses.
