Domestic business to post a double-digit growth led by new product launches, focused approach on chronics & greater market penetration Cadila in recent years has strengthened its position in the chronic segment ( 57% of Domestic formulations) through the creation of the specialty divisions and steady ramp up in the field force (~4500). With an increasing focus on expanding its penetration in semi urban & rural areas and increasing its doctor coverage backed by its continous thrust on introducing new products (Launched 60 new products in FY11) coupled with the commencement of its JV with Bayer in Q4FY11, we expect Cadila’s domestic formulations to grow at 14.7% CAGR over the period of FY11-13E. International Business – Regulated markets of US & Japan to drive growth whereas emerging markets will surge on robust sales in Brazil and Africa Cadila's US business is expected to witness increased traction on the back of new product launches (65 ANDA approvals) & with the commencement of filling of potential low- competition products (transdermal patches and respiratory products) whereas its presence in Japan, though not very significant now, holds immense revenue potential. With the strong growth prospects in the Brazilian market and plans to launch 8-10 products annually, we expect Cadila’s international revenues to grow at a CAGR of 23.3% over FY11-13E. Consumer Business – Sustained growth Cadila’s Consumer business has been growing rapidly (FY07-11 – CAGR of 28.8%) due to a strong growth in their respective product categories and dominant market share in the segments. Owing to its flagship brands’ leadership position namely, Sugar Free, EverYuth and Nutralite; we expect Cadila’s consumer business to continue to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% over FY11-13E. Hospira JV to off take loss of business from Nycomed JV Q4FY11 marked Hospira JV’s entry into the US market with the launch of generic Taxotere. The JV is currently selling three products in the EU and one product in the US. While we believe, the Nycomed JV will be under strain, both in terms of volume and value owing to generic competition for Pantoprazole, the Hospira JV will drive growth as the six‐product supply arrangement (for US and EU) is likely to unfold over FY11-13E. OUTLOOK & VALUATION Cadila achieved the $1bn milestone in revenue during FY11, a 24.6% CAGR growth during FY07-11. With a vision of the management of tripling its business in four years, we believe Cadila's future growth will be led by increased traction in its international businesses, a ramp-up in supplies to Hospira and sustained double-digit growth in the domestic formulations and consumer businesses. In view of strong revenue visibility in business coupled with a healthy balance sheet and best in class return ratios, we recommend an “ACCUMULATE” with a target price of Rs. 960 (20x FY13E EPS). It is currently trading at a P/E of 18.1x its FY13E EPS of Rs. 47.9. Cadila Healthcare Limited Please refer to important disclosures at the end of the report For private Circulation Only.

Hospira JV to off take loss of business from Nycomed JV Q4FY11 marked Hospira JV’s entry into the US market with the launch of generic Taxotere.

COMPANY OVERVIEW Zydus Cadila is a global healthcare provider founded by Late Mr. Ramanbhai B. Patel in 1952. After the split in 1995, the group restructured its operations and now it operates as Cadila Healthcare Ltd (Cadila). Cadila manufactures and markets a wide range of products, including formulations, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), intermediates, biologicals, animal healthcare products and consumer wellness products (Zydus Wellness). It has a strong presence in the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, women’s healthcare segments, respiratory, pain management, CNS, anti-infectives, oncology, neurosciences, dermatology and nephrology segments with field force of 4,500 reaching out to super specialists, specialists, surgeons, physicians, and the rural markets. On the international front, Cadila operates in both the developed markets of the US, EU and Japan as well as the emerging markets (EMs) of Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. It is one among the very few companies to have presence in the top three markets – US, Japan and Europe. It also has presence in high growth emerging markets. Cadila believes in quality and hence gives more thrust on R&D for its future expansion hence invests close to 5-6% of revenues annually in R&D. Cadila has entered into long-term strategic alliances with global players like Hospira, Nycomed, Abbott Laboratories and Bayer. While it struck JVs with Nycomed (1998) and Hospira (2009), recently it entered into an agreement with Abbott to out-license 24 branded generics to market in 15 key emerging markets from FY12 onwards. Cadila caters to consumer market also via its listed subsidiary - Zydus Wellness, in which it holds 72% share. Zydus wellness is the market leader in the segments present which was possible only due to its niche segment approach. Cadila’s revenue profile can be divided into two broad segments:

Domestic Operations (comprising of branded and generic pharmaceutical formulations, API’s, Consumer Wellness business & Animal Healthcare business)

International Operations (comprising sales outside of India of branded and unbranded generic pharmaceutical formulations, API’s & JVs with other Pharma companies),

While previously the India formulations accounted for the largest component of the revenue pie, it has, with time, reduced, and since FY09, the revenue from international operations has taken on greater prominence.

Domestic Business India Formulations: Cadila operates both in branded generics as well as generics generics segment in the domestic market although major portion of revenues comes from branded generics portfolio i.e. 94% of domestic formulations revenues. The Company has expanded its portfolio by entering newer therapeutic areas organically or through acquisitions, aggressively launching new products with the first mover advantage in several products, gradually shifting its focus from acute segments to fast growing and sustainable chronic segments (57% of its FY10 domestic revenues) and enhancing market penetration through field force expansion.

Cadila has retained its leadership position in cardiovascular, gastro intestinal, women’s healthcare and respiratory segments in the covered market. It is the fifth largest player in the Indian formulation market with ~3.7% market share, according to IMS ORG. As on FY11, 16 of its brands featured in the top 300 pharmaceutical brands in India. It has a strong field force of 4,500 people spread across 11 therapeutic focused divisions and doctor coverage of 125,000.

The domestic business currently constitutes around 49% of FY11 gross sales with branded & generic formulations contributing 78% to its domestic business.

Zydus Wellness: Cadila also has a consumer healthcare and wellness business under a separate listed company - Zydus Wellness in which it holds 72.5% stake. Established in 1994, Zydus Wellness Ltd (ZWL) manufactures, sells and markets consumer products in India. Its products include table margarine and spreads, cosmeceuticals and sweet meat. ZWL’s brands include Nutralite, which is table margarine; Sugar Free, which is a low calorie sweetener and EverYuth, which includes skincare products. Nutralite is a table margarine which has less cholesterol and does not contain hydrogenated fats. Under sugar free alternatives and substitutes it offers Sugar Free Gold, Sugar Free Natura, Sugar Free D'Lite ready to drink and powder drink names.

Animal Healthcare: Cadila is also present in the animal health market in India through its 100% subsidiary Zydus Animal Health Ltd., (ZAHL), offering several products meant for the livestock and poultry segments. We expect this segment to post a 14.5% CAGR over the next two years and report Rs. 1930 mn revenues in FY13E.

International Business Cadila operates in both the developed markets of the US, EU and Japan as well as the emerging markets (EMs) of Latin America, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Middle East. The company’s foray into the international markets has primarily been through the inorganic route providing it access to brands and distribution channels. Of the territories that the company caters to, the US territory is the most productive from a top line perspective, followed by Europe and then Brazil.

International Revenue Breakup

US Europe Brazil JapanEmerging Markets Hospira JV Nycomed JV API's

Source: Company

Joint Ventures (JV’s) Cadila has adopted a unique model to grow its business. It has formed JV’s with strategic partners to have long term relationship which helped the company in having higher revenue visibility and to gain from the experience of its partners. Till now it has formed three such JV’s in the formulations space and one JV in the API space. API JV with Nycomed: Cadila formed a JV with Swiss Pharma major, Nycomed in 1999 to manufacture active ingredients for API Pantoprazole, which is an antiulcerants sold under the brand name Protonix by Pfizer. Its revenue contributions, however, have fallen in Q4FY11 as the Pantoprazole drug lost its patent in Feb 2011 in the US. With the scope of the JV expanded to supply intermediates for 14 additional APIs (including Pantoprazole) for both generic and patented drugs and eventual shifting of its entire API production to India, we expect the sales to pick up slowly.

Formulation JV’s:

Hospira JV: The JV mainly focuses on Injectibles and for that it has set up a manufacturing facility in SEZ Ahmedabad. FY10 was the first year of commercial operations for the JV with three products for European region. With supply of generic Taxotere formulation from India JV plant in Q4FY11, the Zydus-Hospira JV has reported 156% sales growth in FY11. Out of the six products that the JV plans to supply to US and Europe, the JV has already begun supply of 3 products to Hospira to be marketed in the EU and 1 product to be marketed in the US. The management has indicated plans to launch the remaining products in FY12E.

Abbott JV: Cadila entered into a strategic alliance with Abbott Laboratories to license 24 branded generics in 15 key emerging markets in Q1FY11. Abbott has the option to increase the scope of the agreement to 40 drugs. As part of the agreement, Cadila has already received a licensing fee of Rs. 470 mn from Abbott.

Bayer JV: Cadila and Germany’s Bayer Healthcare have signed an agreement to set up a 50:50 joint venture (JV) company Bayer Zydus Pharma to market pharmaceutical products in India with focus in areas such as women’s healthcare, metabolic disorders, diagnostic imaging, cardiovascular disease, anti-diabetic treatments and oncology.

INVESTMENT ARGUMENTS Domestic business to post a double-digit growth led by new product launches, focused approach on chronics & greater market penetration

Cadila is one of the oldest players in the Indian formulations market for several years. With a continuous thrust on improving market presence and market share, it has

expanded its portfolio by entering newer therapeutic areas organically or through acquisitions,

aggressively launching new products with the first mover advantage in several products,

gradually shifting its focus from acute segments to chronic segments and enhanced market penetration through field force expansion.

These strategic initiatives have helped the Company become one of the dominant players in the Indian formulations market with theleadership position in several therapeutic categories.

Increased focus on Chronic segments….. In recent years, Cadila has strengthened its position in this segment through the creation of the specialty divisions and ramp up in the field force. Cadila derives 57% of its domestic formulations segment from lifestyle related therapy segments (Chronic) with leadership position in cardiovascular, gastro intestinal, women’s healthcare and respiratory segments in the covered market. With a growing shift towards the chronic segment, we believe Cadila will continue to benefit from the growth opportunity in the domestic chronic therapy segments given its established player status and relevant portfolio of products.

Ramp up in field force for greater penetration….. With an incresing focus on chronic segments, Cadila is also focusing on expanding its penetration, especially in semi-urban and rural areas and increasing its doctor coverage to 2,00,000 doctors from the current coverage of 1,25,000. In FY11 It expanded its field force in the cardiology by 300 and respiratory by 100 agents, while in FY10, it had formed Zydus Cardiva, with a specific focus on urban markets with a range of anti-hypertensive and aspirin combinations. With a physician focus, these initiatives are expected to start yielding desired results from next year.

Increase in new product introductions….. Cadila continued its thrust on new product introductions to drive growth and launched 60 new products (including line extensions) in the domestic market in FY11. Out of this, 24 products were launched for the first time in India, the prominent launch being that of indigenously developed H1N1 vaccine VaxilFlu-S. Going ahead, Cadila plans to launch 35-40 new products (excluding line extensions) every year. Also only 12% of domestic revenues come from products under Drug Price Control Order (DPCO) that is one of the lowest in the pharmaceutical industry.

Consumer Business - Sustained growth across products

Source: Company, Sushil Finance

Introduction of Zydus-Bayer JV in Q4FY11….. Q4FY11 domestic sales witnessed introduction of proceeds from the Zydus-Bayer JV for the domestic markets. As per the terms of the JV, Bayer will supply products and Cadila is expected to use its marketing network to sell the products in the local markets. However, we have not factored in any numbers from the JV in our projections due to inadequate information on the same. Any positive development on the same will act as an upside risk.

Source: Company, Sushil Finance

Domestic formulations gaining traction….. During FY07-10, the company’s domestic formulations revenue reported a CAGR of 10.9%, however, in FY11 it witnessed a growth of 19% which we believe is on the back of various initiatives taken by the company. We expect Cadila’s domestic growth rate to continue to pick up from lower growth rates in FY07-10 as a result of product launches, in-licensing arrangements, and a special focus on rural markets. We thus expect Cadila’s domestic formulations to grow at 14.7% CAGR over the period of FY11-13E.

Zydus Wellness – Sustained growth across products Zydus Wellness, a 72.5% subsidiary of Cadila, operates in niche health and skincare segments. Among other products, its portfolio includes low calorie sugar and low cholesterol alternative for butter. All these categories are growing at a CAGR of ~29% for the period FY07-11. The strong growth can be attributed to the sustained robust sales volume growth in its pillar brands: Sugar Free, EverYuth and Nutralite. The business has been growing rapidly due to a strong growth in their respective product categories and dominant market share in the segments.

In the future we expect the business to post robust growth of 22.5% CAGR over FY11-FY13E.

International markets – US gaining traction and Europe expected to be subdued Cadila has spread its presence in US, Europe, Japan, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East during the last couple of years by launching products in the therapeutic areas like CVS, GI, pain management, etc. The company’s foray into the international markets has primarily been through the inorganic route providing it access to brands and distribution channels. It also has in-licensing arrangements with international players like Bayer, Nycomed, Hospira etc. On the back of robust performance in international markets mainly US (CAGR 07-11: 61%) and Brazil (CAGR 07-11: 89%), the share of international formulations in the company’s total revenues has increased to 50.6% in FY11 from 32.3% in FY07. Cadila’s international revenues have grown at a CAGR of 46% over the period of FY07-11.

US to continue to remain key international market for Cadila….. Accounting for nearly 42% (FY11) of its international revenues, US remains a key international market for Cadila. With a portfolio of 41 products focused, Cadila’s sales have grown at a CAGR of 61.3% in FY07-11 period. Currently, it is among the top 20 generic companies in the US.

Source: Company, Sushil Finance Cadila has filed 130 cumulative ANDAs till date and out of that received 65 approvals. It launched 12 new products including four Day-1 in US in FY11. It has filed total 24 ANDAs

US & Europe expected to grow at a CAGR of 27.5% & 4.0% over FY11-13E

US Europe Japan

and seven DMFs during FY11. In Q4FY11, the company saw some new order flows on the back of supply issues for other generic players.

To further strengthen its position in the most competitive market, Cadila has initiated the process of launching products in other dosage forms like pulmonary, nasal and Injectibles. It has already filed 7 ANDAs for Nasal and 14 for Parenterals. These products are “difficult to make” ensuring higher growth and better margins.

Going forward, the company’s target will be 12-15 ANDA filings and 7 to 8 product launches every year in the US. On the belief that it would be difficult for the company to maintain its historical yearly growth rate on a high base, we expect the growth rate to taper and factor in a 27.5% CAGR over FY11-13E.

Japan – though not very significant now, holds immense revenue potential…… Cadila entered the Japanese market through the inorganic route with the acquisition of Nippon Universal Pharma Ltd in FY07. It also has a manufacturing facility approved by the Japanese regulatory authority.

With a size of nearly US$80bn, Japan is the second-largest Pharma market globally. However with the generic penetration still low it is the most difficult market to make inroads.

Cadila is following a strategy of in-licensing of products and acquisition of brands for better understanding of the market. It launched generic Amlodipine in Japan in FY11, a first for the company as the product was developed and manufactured in India. With 27 in-licensed products and 2 in-house products already launched in Japan and initiation of the process of filling from India, we believe Cadila has created a strong base in Japan.

We project sales in the Japanese market to grow at a CAGR of 30% over FY11-13E on a small base.

Europe market – subdued growth going forward….. Cadila has a presence in Europe through the inorganic route that it took to enter France (Alpharma SAS, 2003) and Spain (Laboratorios Combix, 2008). Cadila’s European operations have grown at a CAGR of 21.4% between FY07-11. However, it posted flat revenues in FY11 on the back of price cuts that the government takes every two years in France and a challenging Spain market which the company entered in 2009.

Brazilian Business Performance

Till date in Europe, Cadila has filed 116 new product dossiers and received approval for 67 products.

In France, 20 products were launched in FY11, including 4 day‐1 launches. Growth in the market is likely to be a challenge, given the price cuts the country has introduced. Spain, on the other hand, is likely to grow in FY12E. Going forward, the company’s growth in Europe would be driven by new product launches and an improvement in margins by product transfer to Indian facilities. The company has site transferred 46 products for the French market whereas 3 site transfers were done for Spain to protect profitability.

However, we expect the Europe market to remain subdued and grow at a CAGR of 4% over FY11-13E.

Emerging markets – Brazil to remain the mainstay with focus on increasing its presence elsewhere Cadila, as part of its international strategy, has made significant investments to establish presence in the emerging markets and should benefit as operations in these markets scale up.

Brazil market – Garnered significant strength….. In Brazil, Cadila operates in both branded (through the acquisition of Nikkho in FY08) and generic segments (through its subsidiary Zydus Healthcare Brasil Ltda). Cadila’s branded business grew by 15% in FY11 whereas the generic business reported a 25% growth. The launches of four new products have achieved healthy growth in branded generics and pure generic business in Brazil. Cadila has 64 cumulative filings in place; 23 products have been approved, of which 16 products have been launched. Cadila’s sales from this market have grown at a CAGR of 22.3% in FY08-11 period on the back of a strong product portfolio of 25 branded and 16 generics products.

Source: Company, Sushil Finance

With the strong growth prospects in the Brazilian market and plans to launch 8-10 products annually we believe the company is set for strong growth. We expect the company to register a CAGR of 24.0% over FY11-13E.

Emerging markets – Growth momentum to gather pace….. Cadila has presence in more than 20 smaller emerging Pharma markets such as Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Uganda, Taiwan, Philippines and South Africa. As a leading player in some of these markets, Cadila has grown at a CAGR of 22% over FY07-11 with revenues accounting for 4.4% of the total sales (FY11). Cadila made Simayla Pharmaceuticals a wholly-owned subsidiary in FY10 with a view to increase its presence in the SA market. Cadila is

Cadila also plans to foray into newer markets and has identified Thailand with market size of $2 bn. It is the second largest pharmaceutical market in South East Asia, growing at 16% CAGR. We thereby expect sales from emerging markets to grow at a CAGR of 18.5% in FY11-13E.

Hospira JV to offset for loss of business from Nycomed JV with ramp up in Abbott to start from FY13E.

Hospira JV flourishing on the back of Taxotere supply….. Hospira received a USFDA approval for generic Docetaxel (Taxotere) to be sold in the regulated markets. The medication is a generic version of Sanofi-Aventis's Taxotere. Hospira with its JV with Cadila introduced the drug in 4QFY11 resulting in a spurt in sales during Q4FY11. The JV is also sole supplier of Gemcitabine to Hospira which is expected to be launched post Teva’s 180 days exclusivity in July 2011. With this Cadila is supplying 3 products to EU and 1 product to US out of the contract signed for supplying six products in each market.

Going forward, we expect sales for the Hospira JV to be maintained at such elevated levels as more products await approvals and the contribution to the Zydus-Hospira JV is expected to rise significantly. We expect the ramp up in this business to happen in FY12E through timely launch of key products. We thereby expect it to register a CAGR of 37.5% over FY11-13E.

Nycomed JV witnessing de-growth on the back of erosion in the revenues from the generic Pantoprazole….. After the patent expiry of Pantoprazole, the scope of the JV has been expanded to supply intermediates for 14 additional APIs for both patented and generic products. Cadila Nycomed venture has commissioned the newly expanded API manufacturing facility at Navi Mumbai, marking transition of JV from an intermediate manufacturer to a full-fledged API manufacturer. We expect Nycomed JV sales to de-grow at a CAGR of ~13% over FY11-13E.

Abbott Deal to ramp up from FY13E….. Cadila has entered into a 24 product agreement with Abbott for 15 emerging markets, expandable up to 40 products. The company has already started dossier registrations for the products. Though the product launches would start from FY2012, we believe the ramp

Consistent past performance and improving margins

Cadila, backed by its steady growth in the domestic market, consistent play in its consumer business and exponential growth in its international business, has delivered excellent numbers in the past. The company’s revenue has grown at a CAGR of 25.7% from FY07-11, while the EBITDA and PAT have grown at a CAGR of 28.6% and 32.1% respectively. This is on the back of the company’s improving margins over the years.

ROCE (%) ROE (%)

Cadila’s EBIDTA margins saw a marginal increase in FY11 on the back of increased contribution from the Hospira JV (Docetaxel sales in Q4FY11). With the contribution from Docetaxel to decline as competitors enter in the market and increased spend by the company on marketing on account of deeper penetration in domestic market and venturing into newer emerging markets; we believe the EBIDTA margins will decline in FY12E thereby factoring in EBIDTA margin of 21.8% for FY12E. With expanding reach in the domestic business, strong traction from exports triggered by a growing presence in developed and emerging markets coupled with new product launched from the Hospira JV, we expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 19.5% for FY11-FY13E. Its EBITDA is likely to grow at CAGR of 18.6% and PAT to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% in the same period.

Strong balance sheet and Healthy return ratios

Cadila did a capex of Rs. 4.6 bn in FY11 and has plans for Rs. 5 bn for FY12 and FY13. The planned expenditure is aimed at developing larger infrastructure and expanding network in vaccine, and domestic formulation business. However, the D: E ratio of the company has decreased from 1.0x in FY09 to 0.5x in FY11. With the company generating sufficient cash flows to fund its future capex requirement, we believe the company’s D:E ratio is likely to decline to 0.3x by FY13E, thus strengthening the balance sheet further. Cadila has healthy return ratios with ROE & ROCE pegged at 33.3% and 27.8% respectively for FY12E.

Cadila Healthcare Ltd.

RISK & CONCERNS Price control for the products covered under DPCO While the domestic formulations business enjoys high margins, the industry however remains vulnerable to changes in Government policies related to price control. Approximately 12% of the company's domestic revenues were subject to price control under the DPCO. In the event of expansion of list under price control, the company's revenues and margins might get impacted. Unfavourable currency movements: Cadila derives around 51% of its revenues from its export business to countries like US, Europe, Brazil, and emerging markets etc. Thus any appreciation in the INR against respective currencies will result in the erosion of margins. However, as a conscious effort to mitigate this risk partly, Cadila has taken forward cover to the extent of $93mn for FY12E export revenues. Delay in Regulatory Approvals: A significant portion of Cadila’s topline is expected to be driven by new product launches in the domestic as well international markets. Any unanticipated delays in receiving necessary approvals from the local authorities could hamper our future revenue estimates. Also any negative news flow on the regulatory front in any of the markets that’s the company caters to could impact our earnings estimates.

OUTLOOK & VALUATION Cadila with a focused approach towards its domestic business is now looking to improve its presence in the under-penetrated semi-urban and rural areas. We believe new product introductions & increased geographical exposure through field force expansion will help the domestic segment to register a CAGR of 14.7% over FY11-13E. On the export front, Cadila’s strong product pipeline in the US market coupled with the commencement of filling of potential low-competition products (transdermal patches and respiratory products) envisages huge opportunities in the US market. In emerging markets, Cadila is aggressively targeting Brazil and the CIS region. We expect Cadila’s export business to grow at a CAGR of 23.3% over FY11-13E. Cadila achieved the $1bn milestone in revenue during FY11, a 24.6% CAGR growth during FY07-11. With a vision of the management of tripling its business in four years, we believe Cadila's future growth will be led by increased traction in its international businesses, a ramp-up in supplies to Hospira and sustained double-digit growth in the domestic formulations and consumer businesses. In view of strong revenue visibility in business coupled with a healthy balance sheet and best in class return ratios, we recommend an “ACCUMULATE” with a target price of Rs. 960 (20x FY13E EPS). It is currently trading at a P/E of 18.1x its FY13E EPS of Rs. 47.9.
