Investment Thesis
Bounce-back of domestic business: Growth in Emcure’s domestic business is returning to
double digits after a period of subdued performance, during which it dragged overall
growth due to heightened competition in key products and internal restructuring efforts.
In FY25, the India business rebounded with high single-digit growth, and growth is
expected to accelerate to an early double digits over the next 3 years, driven by improving
volume and ramp-up of newly launched products. In women’s healthcare, the company
has introduced new offerings in menopause and PCOS segments, while in diabetes and
cardiac care it is poised to benefit from synergies following the integration of the Sanofi
portfolio and enhanced access to super-specialists. The company has also strengthened its
dermatology (derma) division by appointing the former head of Galderma with a strategic
focus on cosmetic dermatology—a segment known for its high entry barriers.
Additionally, upcoming launches in ophthalmology (opthal), consumer wellness and CNS
are expected to support growth. Overall, India sales are projected to grow by 10–12%
over the next 3 years.
International businesses on an upswing: Exports account for 54% of Emcure’s total sales
and are primarily driven by three key geographies: Europe, Canada, and Emerging
Markets. The company has established its presence in Europe and Canada through
strategic acquisitions and is now leveraging both its domestic portfolio and a growing
pipeline of complex generics to expand globally. The export portfolio includes hospital-
focused complex injectables, biosimilars, recombinant asparaginase, antibody-drug
conjugates (ADCs), liposomal Amphotericin B, and ARV tender market, positioning
Emcure in high-barrier, high-margin segments. While growth in Europe is expected to
remain in single digits due to market maturity, Canada and Emerging Markets are likely to
deliver strong double-digit growth, supported by the launch of differentiated and
specialty products.
Key risks: 1) Intense competition and price wars in generics and bio-similars as even
patented drugs face this threat. 2) Supply chain and price volatility risks, 3) Fluctuation in
foreign exchange rates. This impacts overseas revenue and profitability. 4) Geopolitical
instability poses risks as economic downturns and policy changes disrupt business.
Valuation
Robust growth profile yet relatively cheaper: We value Emcure at 24x Jun’27 earnings to
derive a TP of INR 1,740. Considering the above average growth potential of revenues at
13% 3Y CAGR vs industry average of 12% and superior earnings potential (29% 3Y
CAGR vs 21% for industry), coupled with expectations for return ratios to expand
considerably over next 3 years (RoIC of 14% in FY25 vs 24% in FY28E), we believe
Emcure merits 24x PE on Jun-27 EPS, which is at 18% discount than peers (29.2x)
accounting for lower profitability. With the improved fundamentals, the FCF/EBITDA ratio
is projected to rise from 30% in FY25 to 45% by FY28. As a result, we expect the current
Jun-27 P/E multiple of 20.1x at CMP, trading at 31% discount than peers, to expand
meaningfully in future. We initiate with BUY.

1. India business
A. Inching towards IPM growth (46% of rev.): Emcure was ranked among the Top 14
companies in the IPM as of Mar’25. Despite growing faster than the IPM in FY21 and
FY22, the company’s growth fell below IPM growth in FY23-25 due to contraction in key
brands across top therapies. However, sustained efforts to grow via new initiatives, its in-
licensing deal with Sanofi, and launch of new products helped lift growth closer to IPM
levels in FY25. We anticipate that growth will continue to inch up YoY over FY26 on
account of robust plans in the cardiac and gynaecology (gynaec) segments (which
contribute the majority of sales), which will see new levers of growth from restructuring
of the cardio-diabeto business, ramp-up of synergies from Sanofi and growth in
gynaecology from increasing presence in menopause, PCOS and endometriosis, which are
three areas that are rapidly growing. It will be a two-pronged strategy of ‘what is big,
make it bigger’, and then new launches in the emerging markets.

B. Head-to-head with IPM (therapy level) growth: While the business clearly witnessed a
strong fall in growth during FY22-24 in key therapies vs. IPM growth rates, consistent
efforts have helped Emcure rebuild the growth trajectory of the top 15 therapies, of
which a majority have seen a positive turnaround in FY25; current growth initiatives and
new product launches will help in lifting growth in the remaining therapies in the same
direction.

C. Building nation’s most trusted women’s healthcare brand: The top therapies of
Emcure’s portfolio – largely cardiac, followed by vitamin, blood, anti-infective and
hormonal offerings – have, despite holding a sizeable share of MAT among the top 15
therapies, primarily catered to supplement the extended needs of gynaecology and
women’s health therapies. This inter-therapeutic synergies between the top avenues of
Emcure to aid the needs of pregnant women has been not only able to make Emcure
the leading company in gynaec offerings, but also the leading women’s healthcare
brand in India.
FY22
FY25
D. Building larger brands: Emcure has, over the years, successfully built more than six
brands that are above INR 1bn each and almost 13 brand portfolios that range from INR
500mn to INR 1bn. We expect that, over the next 3 years, it can add over four brands
into the INR 1bn+ categories and another 13 brands into the INR 500mn-1bn category.
These transitions into higher categories will be expectedly led by the company’s
ongoing plans to scale up upcoming therapies and specifically bolster the singular
brands driving the portfolios of niche therapies. Additionally, with the integration of
Sanofi’s portfolio, Emcure will be able to boost the scale of the former’s brand sales.

E. Positive headroom visible for growth: While some of the key brands have shrunk in
FY23-25, we note that the complementary brands of same molecules have still
maintained their growth at par/above IPM growth. For example, while all brands under
the Orofer umbrella grew, Orofer-FCM has shrunk on account of loss of exclusivity
(patent) and heavy pricing pressures from small competitors. However, the
management is confident that FCM will grow ahead on account of price stabilisation
and exit of certain key competitors. Likewise, brands that faced challenges over the last
2-3 years are poised for a turnaround in the next couple of years.

F. Cloaked as an acute player: While Emcure’s parent entity has been solely focused on
the chronic business, a majority of its MAT, similar to peers, is accounted for by the
acute segment and catered to by its subsidiary Zuventus which largely sells gynaec
products. With plans to have cosmetology and derma segments, we expect the
contribution from the acute segment to rise further. However, we also do not limit our
outlook for the chronic segment as the company is equally invested in growing the
chronic segment. The company’s ambitious Plans w.r.t. plans to enter opthal, where the
it is in phase 3 of testing the ready-to-use opthal grade Bevacizumab for wAMD with a
patented technology and plans regarding R-Asparaginase, which if offered in the Indian
market, have the potential to boost its chronic illness segment.

G. New therapies to revamp acute business: Over the past 3 years, Emcure’s growth in the
acute segment has been lacklustre at 5% CAGR, the lowest among peers. This has
primarily been on account of the gynaec therapy remaining muted over FY 23-24 and
FY24-25 vs. 7% and 4% respectively for IPM. However, continuous efforts to increase
its presence in menopause, PCOS and endometriosis, along with focus on opthal and
derma, will aid in higher rate of growth in the segment.

H. Inorganic efforts to turnaround chronic: Like in the acute segment, the company has
seen muted growth in the chronic segment. This segment, largely led by the parent
entity, has struggled to scale up the cardiac businesses over FY2-24. However, with the
integration of Sanofi to the portfolio with MR and product synergies, the cardiac
segment, which contributes the majority of the chronic segment, is expected to
outperform industry growth and rise to be at par with the top growing companies in
the country.

I. Volume growth - need of the hour: As the company’s major business is being driven by
the acute segment, it is imperative for it to focus on higher volume growth to improve
topline expansion. However, Emcure’s growth has been primarily driven by price
increases and new innovations. Emcure’s volume CAGR over the last 4 years is 0%
while peers have seen substantial contribution from volume growth, which aids their
overall improved growth profiles. The company’s volume growth has been particularly
muted over the last 3 years on account of slower growth in cardiac and vitamin
therapies, and certain key brands in gynaec, anti-infective and vitamins. However, the
synergies in the Sanofi business, new product launches in cardiac and derma, plans to
launch Amphotericin B Liposomal, introduction of opthal therapy and rapid growth
plans for derma (especially in cosmetics) would help revive volume growth in the
business by 3-4% levels in the next 1-2 years.

of 220 MRs from Sanofi has furthermore created possibilities to deepen the company’s
reach in the country. The increasing MR count, however, has also supressed PCPM; we
believe that synergies from Sanofi and improving product portfolio will help in quicker
ramp-up of PCPM in the coming quarters.

K. Rampant portfolio expansion: New introductions have always been an integral part of
Emcure’s growth story. That is likely to continue with aggressive expansion of its brand
portfolio at a faster pace than its domestic-focused listed peer set. Going ahead,
Emcure is further expected to expand into dermatology, diabetes (GLP-1), CNS,
oncology (biosimilars), and ophthalmology. The ramping up of these opportunities in
newer segments provides Emcure significant headroom for future growth.

B. Brand universes under common molecules: Emcure has undertaken a very unique
strategy to improve its sales capability by introducing multiple brands under the same
molecule umbrella. This strategy gives it the leverage to sell through doctors of different
specialities.
Example: Emcure has three key mother brands in iron deficiency that are branched out
through almost 16 brand names with only slight variations in their molecular
compositions. This enables doctors to control the dosage required as per bespoke needs
of the specialities. Thus, Orofer XT is sold via gynaec doctors, Feronia via GPs and
Ferium via ortho doctors.
Ferium tablet, largely similar to Feronia but manufactured and marketed by Emcure,
combines Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex—equivalent to 100 mg of elemental
iron—and 350 µg folic acid per chewable tablet. It is designed to prevent and treat iron
deficiency and folate deficiency anaemia, support red blood cell formation, boost
haemoglobin levels, relieve fatigue, and improve energy, making it especially useful
during pregnancy or nutritional deficiency. The chewable format enhances ease of
consumption, and it is typically taken once daily under medical supervision.

domestic sales (currently contributing to 21% of sales), but has shrunk over the last 3
years by 3% CAGR while the overall MAT of the company grew by 4% CAGR. This
downtrend is attributable to the drag from key brands in the therapy like Eslo, Asomex,
Consivas, Enoxarin, Exhep, Numlo, Ticaplat, Zilarbi and Lomoh, which cumulatively
contribute to 30% of the cardiac MAT and have declined by 14% CAGR over the last 3

Beyond conventional branding: Emcure has resorted to building awareness around the key
symptoms and medical issues the new product lines aim to cater to. However, as a way of
promoting its brands via taking a preachy and conventional route to spread awareness, the
OTC/DTC brands will be turning to popular stand up comedians to throw some light on the
subjects in a light hearted way
Arth-Comprehensive solution for menopause wellness: Arth offers a range of convenient and

B. Aided by inorganic growth: The company has a strong track record of successfully
entering and growing its presence in new markets through inorganic expansion. In the
past, it has made strategic acquisitions such as Marcan Pharma in Canada in 2015 and
Tillomed Labs in UK in 2014, which has allowed it to leverage R&D and manufacturing
capabilities in India and, at the same time, quickly and cost-efficiently establish
distribution channels for products in Canada and Europe.
D. (i) Europe: As of FY25, Europe contributed to 19% of Emcure’s total revenue, down
250bps YoY. The growth in revenue was also lower at 4% YoY (vs. 18% 3-year CAGR).
However, the ramp-up from the recent acquisition of Manx, collaboration in Italy for
the recently launched PRX-Plus, and the latest approval the company has received for
Amphotericin B Liposomal (first generic to receive approval in the EU) help us bake in
8% CAGR over FY25-FY28E for the region.

(ii) First steps into Europe: Emcure marked its entry in Europe with the acquisition of Tillomed
Labs, along with its subsidiary, Tillomed Holdings Ltd, for GBP 8.7mn (2x FY14 EV/sales).
Since acquiring Tillomed, the association successfully grew revenue from EUR 5mn to EUR
174mn over FY14-FY24 by increasing presence in both the retail and hospital segments and
expanding product portfolio from 2 products in FY14 to more than 150 products now.

(iii) Acquisition of Manx (EU); still in the game: Led by its strategy of expanding inorganically,
the company acquired Manx Pharma Ltd in Apr’25, for GBP 19.7mn, including GBP 4.7mn
for inventory, of which GBP 6.2mn will be upfront and rest as milestone payments over the
next 18 months. We expect synergies of the deal to converge over FY26 with Manx
contributing potentially ~USD 15mn in sales on back of the 100 molecules portfolio that was
acquired via the deal of which there is an existing 40% overlap of the portfolio, which will
aid efficient integration of operations of the entities.
E. (i) Canada: As of FY25, Canada contributed to 16% of Emcure’s total revenue, flat YoY.
Revenue growth spiked over the last 2 years, growing 27% and 36% in FY24 and FY25
respectively. However, we believe that growth will moderate to ~15% CAGR FY25-28E,
with contribution from Canada increasing to 17% on account of the ramp-up from the
recent acquisition of Mantra and improved market share in the generics portfolio.

(ii) How did Emcure enter Canada? In Canada, Emcure has grown through the growth of
the generic portfolio and differentiated products. Like in Europe, Emcure’s entry into
Canada was marked by its acquisition of Marcan Pharma in 2015. The acquisition was
done for a total consideration of ~CAD 125mn. This acquisition was a crucial step in
Emcure's strategy to expand its global footprint and establish a strong presence in the
Canadian market as Canada was seen as an attractive market due to its significant
generic drug market share (67% of prescriptions in 2014). We expect that further
untapped regions of the geography can be tapped into via consolidation (inorganically) of
the smaller players by Emcure.
(iii) Widening the reach in Canadian markets: In Nov’23, Marcan acquired a majority stake
in Mantra Pharma, a Canada-based company engaged in the sale and distribution of
pharmaceutical finished formulation products, natural health products and medical
devices, primarily in the Quebec region of Canada. This deal was financed via CAD
57.6mn debt raised by Marcan.
RoW: As on FY25, RoW contributed to 19% of Emcure’s total revenue, up 140bps YoY. The
RoW sales are majorly driven by higher volumes in South Africa and Zimbabwe, both markets
that are led by ARV products. While the RoW portfolio maintains a proportional balance
between ARV and Non ARV, with ARV business maintain growth momentum in the key RoW
geographies, non-ARV portion is led by expansion into newer geographies like Malta where
sales are driven by therapies like oncology, ophthalmology and anti-fungal. We expect the
RoW segment to grow by 20% CAGR over FY25-28E, increasing the contribution to overall
revenue by 365bps over FY25-28E on the back of higher growth in ARV and non-ARV
portfolios, which drive the business in RoW. Key monitorables remain the stability of
continued growth of the operations in South Africa and Zimbabwe, which are expected to be
the top export destination for Emcure (after EU and Canada), and the strategies to be placed
to revamp the decline in Myanmar.

Mixed basket yet clearly strategised: In other markets in the rest of the world, Emcure
utilises a mix of its own front-end capabilities along with partnerships with strong local
and multi-national companies for distribution of products. Product portfolio in most of
these markets are both ARV and non-ARV products leveraged by both India product
portfolio as well as global product filings, particularly complex products that are sold in
Europe and Canada. The company is also focusing on launching biotherapeutic products
in the rest of the world markets. It has established subsidiaries, including in Dubai, South
Africa, Peru, Mexico, Brazil, the Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria, Chile, Australia and the
Dominican Republic, which play an important role in liaising and managing operations in
these markets.
9. Infrastructural capabilities
A. Manufacturing capabilities: Emcure started as a CDMO business catering to
multinational corporations. This beginning as a CDMO helped it develop the ability to
handle complex manufacturing processes at scale, such as lyophilisation and complete
isolation technology for cytotoxic products. In the manufacturing of biotherapeutics
products, it has successfully developed and deployed various microbial and mammalian-
based platforms.

11.Key risks
Intense competition: The pharmaceutical market, particularly in India, is highly
competitive. Price wars, new product launches by competitors, and aggressive marketing
strategies can erode Emcure's market share and profitability.
Dependence on key products and therapeutic areas: Significant reliance on a few key
products or therapeutic areas could expose the company to risks if these segments face
increased competition, patent expiry, or changes in treatment guidelines.
Pricing pressure and government policies: Governments and healthcare payers are
increasingly focused on controlling healthcare costs, leading to downward pressure on
drug prices.
Raw material and supply chain risks: Dependence on a limited number of suppliers for key
raw materials can expose Emcure to supply chain disruptions, price volatility, or quality
issues.
Foreign exchange fluctuations: Adverse movements in foreign exchange rates can impact
revenue and profitability from overseas operations.
Litigation risks: Emcure may face litigation related to product liability, patent
infringement, or other commercial disputes, which can be costly and damage its
reputation.
