The recent Brovana launch will also contribute annualised revenue of USD25- 30m. While Cipla expects to respond to USFDA’s CRL on gAdavir by Aug-21, approval of two other respiratory products (Qvar, partnered asset) is also pending.

FY21 Annual Report Analysis

24 August 2021

Cipla has defined 10 Strategic Business Objectives in its FY21 AR,

with the company maintaining focus on superior execution across its branded home markets of India & SA and portfolio expansion in

the US respiratory & complex generics space. While Albuterol market-share ramp-up has allowed Cipla to maintain steady US

sales as against the sharp erosion witnessed by peers, the recent Brovana launch along with upcoming launches (Qvar, Abraxane &

Advair) will drive further traction in the US business over the next 2-3 years. Factoring of trade receivables has driven significant

reduction in WCap intensity, thereby enabling Cipla to generate

USD680m cumulative FCF during FY20 & FY21. We expect the strong US product launch momentum to drive cumulative FCF of

USD1.3bn over FY22-24ii and RoIC to improve to 20/26% in FY23/24ii. Cipla remains our top-pick among large-cap pharma.

US growth driven by Cipla’s DTM business: Cipla’s US business has grown at 10% cc Cagr over FY18-21, as launches of complex generics and

respiratory products enabled it to ramp-up its DTM (own front-end) business, from ~USD80m in FY18 (20% of US sales) to ~USD305m in

FY21 (56% of US sales). While acquired InvaGen’s sales have remained

largely flat, the share of Cipla’s legacy B2B business has continued to decline. Cipla’s respiratory portfolio (Albuterol, Budesonide) has crossed

the USD100m sales-mark, accounting for 18% of its overall US business.

Respiratory & complex generics to drive 12% US revenue Cagr

(20% Cagr including Revlimid) over FY21-24ii: Although most Indian peers saw significant QoQ decline in US sales during 1QFY22, market-share

ramp-up in Albuterol has allowed Cipla to maintain steady US sales. The recent Brovana launch will also contribute annualised revenue of USD25-

30m. While Cipla expects to respond to USFDA’s CRL on gAdavir by Aug-21,

approval of two other respiratory products (Qvar, partnered asset) is also pending. Further, two more respiratory products are expected to soon enter

P-3 trials. The complex injectables pipeline includes 2 partnered peptide injectables filed in FY21 and the Abraxane launch scheduled in Sep-22.

Other key notables from FY21 AR: 1) Factoring of trade receivables has accounted for two-thirds of the improvement in Cipla’s receivable days over

FY20/21; 2) Lower travel & marketing spends contributed 210bps of margin

improvement in FY21, while reduced clinical trials & R&D sample spends aided margins by 140bps; 3) The China mfg. plant is ready for inspections.

Focussed on outperforming market growth in India and South

Africa (SA)

While the Covid portfolio led to 14% growth in Cipla’s India branded

Rx business (78% of India sales) in FY21, the One-India strategy has also led to strong performance in the trade generics and CHL

portfolio. Cipla’s trade generics business (17% of domestic sales)

grew 8% on a reported basis in FY21 and by 18% adjusted for brands transferred to the CHL business. Cipla’s SA business also saw

growth of 10% in ZAR terms in FY21, while the overall pharma

market in SA declined by 1%. Mgmt. intends to build further scale in India & SA markets through focus on the chronic, consumer

healthcare, OTC and private segments, and hence evolve into a

holistic wellness player in these markets. Figure 11: We estimate that Cipla’s base Prescription (Rx) business, Covid portfolio (Rx – Covid), Trade Generics (Gx) and Consumer Healthcare (CHL) contributed 67%, 11%, 17% and 5%, respectively to its India sales in FY21

Mgmt. is targeting entering the new frontier markets of China

and Brazil, to strengthen presence in EMs

Cipla’s Emerging Markets (EMs) business accounts for 10% of its

overall revenue, with the business growing a solid 21% cc in FY21 to clock revenue of USD250m. Cipla has signed various deals worth

USD10m of annualised revenue to strengthen its presence in

existing EMs. These agreements include a) the first biosimilar deal of Bevacizumab in Europe, 2) partnership with Ferring in Australia to

promote its specialty Urology-Oncology drug portfolio, and 3)

Cipla’s new manufacturing plant in China is almost ready for

regulatory inspections

Cipla intends to focus on key DTMs as also on new frontier markets

(China, Brazil and Spain), for organic growth in EMs and the EU. Cipla’s new manufacturing facility in China (located at Qidong, a city

near Shanghai) is almost ready for regulatory inspections, with the

facility set to commercialise nebulisation & other respiratory products in the China market. In FY20, Cipla had formed an 80:20

JV in China with Jiangsu Acebright Pharmaceutical Co where Cipla is

the majority partner, and the companies have already filed a couple of DMFs in the China market. Cipla also plans to build scale and

further deepen its presence in the two new front-end markets of

Brazil and Spain.

Lower travel & marketing spends contributed ~210bps of

Ebitda margin improvement in FY21, while reduced R&D clinical trials & sample spends aided margins by ~140bps

Cipla’s overall Ebitda margins expanded ~350bps in FY21 to 22.2%,

as the ~340bps decline in GMs (owing to lower export incentives this year and the one-off Cinacalcet revenue in the US in FY20) was

offset by lower R&D spends, reduced on-ground field activity in the

domestic market and cost-saving initiatives.

Export incentives declined from Rs2.52bn in FY20 to Rs973m in FY21

which impacted Cipla’s GMs by ~100bps in FY21. Travel and sales

promotion expenses moderated from Rs13.8bn in FY20 to Rs11.3bn in FY21 which aided the company’s Ebitda margins by ~210bps.

Additionally, reduced clinical trials and R&D sample spends (as

gAdvair clinical trials were completed in FY20) contributed to ~140bps of the margin expansion in FY21.

Figure 18: Cipla’s cost-savings across line items − Lower travel & marketing spends contributed ~210bps to Cipla’s Ebitda margin improvement in FY21, while reduced R&D clinical trials & sample spends aided margins by ~140bps

Source: Company, IIFL Research; Note: the GM impact is excluding the impact from lower export incentives; Sales & Promotion expenses – S&P expenses; Legal & Professional fees and Credit loss – L&P fees/CL

Although Cipla delivered Ebitda margins of 24.5% in 1QFY22 (vs.

22.2% in FY21), we estimate that the Covid portfolio contributed margins of ~290bps in 1QFY22 and the company’s base business

margins are currently trending at ~21.5%. We expect US product

launches (ex-Revlimid) to improve base-business margins to 23.5% by FY23ii, while Revlimid can incrementally contribute margins of

~170/270bps in FY23/24ii.

Sale of trade receivables has driven two-thirds of the

improvement in Cipla’s receivable days during FY20 & FY21

Cipla has securitised part of its trade receivables over the past 3

years, by entering into an arrangement with a bank for sale of its trade receivables at a certain discount. Cipla sold-off trade

receivables worth Rs4.5/4.7bn in FY20/21, representing ~11/14% of

its outstanding receivables, respectively. Cipla’s receivable days have declined from 93 in FY19 to 66 in FY21, with two-thirds of the

improvement in receivable days being driven by the sale/factoring of

receivables. Figure 19: Factoring of trade receivables has accounted for two-thirds of the improvement in Cipla’s receivable days over FY20 and FY21

Strong reduction in working capital has enabled Cipla to generate USD680m cumulative FCF over FY20 & FY21

Cipla’s overall NWC cycle has improved from 156 days in FY19 to

121 days in FY21, with ~75% of the improvement being driven by lower receivables and the remaining from lower other current assets.

Reduced working capital intensity has led to Ebitda-to-OCF

conversion improving from ~53% in FY18/19 to ~92% in FY20/21.

Source: Company, IIFL Research

The higher OCF enabled Cipla to generate ~USD680m cumulative

FCF over FY20 & FY21 as compared with ~USD240m over the

preceding two-year period. We believe strong new-product launch

momentum in the US business and continued traction in the branded home markets of India and SA will lead to cumulative FCF

generation of USD1.3bn over FY22-24ii, representing ~13% of the

company’s current market cap.

Strong cash generation has led to significant debt reduction

over the past two years; ND/Ebitda now stands at -0.55x

With Cipla’s cumulative FCF generation during FY20 and FY21 increasing ~180% over the preceding two-year period, the company

has been able to significantly reduce its gross debt from ~USD620m

in FY19 to ~USD240m in FY21. Cipla turned net-cash positive in FY21 with net-cash balance of ~USD260m, which has further

improved to ~USD400m as of 1QFY22. Net debt/Ebitda has also

improved from 0.51x in FY19 to -0.55x in 1QFY22.

RoE and RoIC (post-tax) expanded ~400-500bps in FY21;

RoIC will likely improve to >20% by FY23ii Strong Ebitda growth of 33% in FY21 (driven by 12% overall

revenue growth and ~350bps Ebitda margin expansion), along with

higher asset turnover, led to Cipla’s RoE improving from ~10% in FY20 to ~14% in FY21. RoIC also expanded, from ~12% (pre-

tax)/~9% (post-tax) in FY20 to ~19%/14%, respectively, in FY21.

We believe the strong new-product launch momentum in the US market will enable Cipla to further improve its RoIC (post-tax) to

~20%/26% by FY23/24ii.

Cipla remains our top-pick among the large-cap pharma

companies; reiterate BUY with a TP of Rs1,100

Mgmt. has stated in the FY21 AR that Cipla will continue to focus on superior execution across markets, portfolio expansion and

continued cost discipline in FY22, in order to accelerate revenue

growth, drive sustainable margin expansion and maintain the high returns trajectory over the near-to-medium term.

Cipla remains our top-pick among large-cap pharma companies:

• We believe Cipla’s US business will continue to see improving

traction over the next 3 years, led by strong build-out in the

respiratory inhalation portfolio and other limited competition

launches. Continued traction in the US business will be driven by the recent Brovana launch and through launches of Qvar,

Abraxane, Revlimid & Advair over the next 18 months. We expect

Cipla’s US revenue to ramp-up, from ~USD550m in FY21 to ~USD725m in FY23ii, which will drive strong operating leverage

and enable Cipla to expand its US business Ebitda margins from

~20% currently to ~32% over the next two years.

• While Cipla’s India business has significantly outperformed

market growth recently, led by the Covid drugs portfolio, we

believe Cipla’s One-India strategy will also continue driving

synergies and market-beating growth across its three business segments of branded generics, trade generics and consumer

healthcare. We expect Cipla’s base India business to grow 15%

YoY during 2Q-4QFY22ii, led by recovery in acute therapies and continued traction in the chronic & respiratory segment.

• We expect US product launches (ex-Revlimid) to improve Cipla’s

base-business Ebitda margins to 23.5% by FY23ii from 21.5% currently, while Revlimid is likely to incrementally contribute

margins of ~170/270bps in FY23/24ii. This would drive base-

business (ex-Revlimid) EPS Cagr of ~17% over FY21-24ii and overall earnings Cagr of ~24% over the next 3 years. We believe

RoIC (post-tax) will expand from ~14% in FY21 to ~26% (~22%

excluding Revlimid) in FY24ii. Figure 27: We expect Cipla’s base business EPS, excluding Revlimid, to clock 17% Cagr over FY21-24ii; overall EPS will likely compound at 24% Cagr over the next 3 years

Price Target: Unless otherwise stated in the text of this report, target prices in this report are based on either a discounted cash flow valuation or comparison of valuation ratios with companies seen by the analyst as comparable or a combination of the two methods. The result of this fundamental valuation is adjusted to reflect the analyst’s views on the likely course of investor sentiment. Whichever valuation method is used there is a significant risk that the target price will not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Risk factors include unforeseen changes in competitive pressures or in the level of demand for the company’s products. Such demand variations may result from changes in technology, in the overall level of economic activity or, in some cases, in fashion. Valuations may also be affected by changes in taxation, in exchange rates and, in certain industries, in regulations. Investment in overseas markets and instruments such as ADRs can result in increased risk from factors such as exchange rates, exchange controls, taxation, and political and social

conditions. This discussion of valuation methods and risk factors is not comprehensive – further information is available upon request.
