    Abbott India (AIL) reported lower-than-expected numbers for 2QCY2013. Its

    top-line grew by 6.9% yoy at `440cr, but came lower than our estimate of

    `457cr. On account of higher raw material cost, the operating margin for the

    quarter contracted by 116bp to 9.6%, 185bp lower than our estimate. Net profitwas flat on a yoy basis at `30cr, 18.0% lower than our estimate.

    Top brands to sustain growth; new product introduction to support: AILs mergerwith Solvay Pharma (SPIL) in CY2011, has provided AIL access to new therapeutic

    segments and additional brands. Currently, AILs existing portfolio has 10

    products among the top 300 brands in the Indian pharmaceutical market, which

    are being pushed by ~12,000 odd sales force. Moreover, the company is

    planning to enter new therapeutic segments, launch new molecules and expand

    the nutritional segment, which is expected to support growth in the long term.

    Synergy benefits and cost control measures to aid margin expansion: Variousoperational synergies in manufacturing plants post the amalgamation of AILwith SPIL has resulted in lower raw material cost as a percentage of sales, thus

    resulting in better operating margin. In addition, cost saving measures from

    various transformation programs and lower promotional spends are expected to

    facilitate in sustaining EBITDA margin at higher levels going forward.Outlook and valuation: With a clear strategy of pushing its best brands and focuson nutrition and OTC drug portfolios and continuous new launches, we remain

    positive on the growth outlook of AIL. We expect the companys top-line and

    profit to grow at a CAGR of 9.9% and 9.3% over CY2012-14E to `1,996 and

    `173cr respectively in CY2014E. At current levels, the stock is trading at a PE of

    16.7x its CY2014E earnings. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stockwith a revised target price of `1,628 based on a target PE of 20x for CY2014E.Key financialsY/E December (` cr) CY2011 CY2012 CY2013E CY2014ENet Sales 1,490 1,653 1,788 1,996% chg 50.5 10.9 8.2 11.7

    Results disappointed on all frontsFor 2QCY2013, Abbott India reported lower-than-expected results at all fronts.

    The company reported a sales growth of 6.9% on a yoy basis to `440cr, which is

    3.7% lower than our estimate of `457cr. EBITDA margin contracted by 116bp yoy

    and came at 9.6%, 185bp lower than our estimate, primarily due to higher raw

    material cost as a percentage of net sales. The tax expense for the quarter was

    `14.7cr (33.1% of PBT). Consequently, the net profit was flat on yoy basis at `30cr.

    However, the net profit was 18.0% lower than our estimate of `36cr on account of

    lower top-line growth and contraction in operating margin.

    Investment rationale

    Top brands to keep performance upbeat

    AIL has been reporting a better performance as compared to the Indian

    pharmaceutical market for the past few years. Currently, the company has 10 of its

    brands in the top 300 brands - Digene (No1 antacid), Brufen, Thyronorm (8th rank

    in IPM list), Duphaston (among the top 50 brands), Vertin (Rank 99 among brands

    in IPM), Zolfresh (No. 2 brand in the extended sleep segment) and Heptral. We

    believe these top brands would facilitate in better revenue growth going forward.

    New product introductions to add value in long runAIL has been continuously launching new products in order to enter new product

    categories or garner a higher share in the existing product categories. Abbott India

    entered the large PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitors) segment with the launch of Adiza

    (Ilaprazole). In addition, the company also launched Omacor in Cardiology

    segment, Prothiaden- M in depression segment and Obimet GX Forte in diabetes

    segment.

    Moreover, the company is planning to enter new therapeutic segments, launch

    new molecules and expand the nutritional segment, which is expected to support

    growth in the long term. In order to expand its presence in the nutritional segment,

    the company has set up a production facility in Jhagadia, Gujarat which isexpected to start commercial production from CY2014E. This unit will make Ensure

    and PediaSure range of nutritional drinks.

    AIL is currently in the process of completely overhauling its new product launch

    processes to double the number of new launches per year. We believe that this will

    be a strong revenue driver for the company in the long run.

    Cost optimization and operational efficiencies to aid profitability

    Post AILs merger with SPIL, Abbott India derived operational synergies by

    transferring three brands and eight SKUs to Abbotts own manufacturing plant in

    Goa. This has resulted in a decline in raw material cost as a percentage of sales,

    thus resulting in better margin. This coupled with cost saving measures from

    various transformation programs in the areas of supply chain, technology and

    people management along with curtailing promotional spends to 4.3% of net sales

    in CY2012 as compared to 5.8% in CY2011; will facilitate in sustaining EBITDA

    margin at higher levels which is expected to be at 12.7% for CY2014E.

    Strong balance sheet

    AIL is a debt-free company with cash reserves of `385cr as of June 30, 2013. We

    expect the cash reserve to increase to `488cr by CY2014E. The company enjoys

    strong RoE and RoIC of 24.3% and 56.0% respectively (for CY2012) and isexpected to continue reporting them at higher levels at 20.9% and 58.1%

    respectively in CY2014E. Due to high cash reserves in the books, we believe there

    is a potential that the company may go for delisting.

    Long term revenue drivers in place

    With increasing exposure to existing therapeutic segments and planned entry into

    new therapeutic segments with rising new product introductions, we believe the

    revenue drivers are in place. Moreover, continued focus on employee spends (from

    8.0% as a percentage of sales in CY2007 to 12.5% in CY2012), which forms a

    critical part of a pharmaceutical company, would facilitate medium to long term

    revenue growth. We expect the revenue to post a 9.9% CAGR over CY2012-14E to

    `1,996cr in CY2014E.

    Exhibit 7:Operating margin to improve marginally

    Source: Company, Angel Research

    EBITDA margin to sustain at higher level

    A better product mix post merger has led to a decline in net raw material cost as a

    percentage of net sales. Moreover, cost saving measures from various

    transformation programs and curtailing promotional expenses has led to reduction

    in other expenses. We believe this would lead to sustainable EBITDA margin going

    forward. We expect EBITDA margin to improve marginally by 51bp over CY2012-

    14E to 12.7% in CY2014E. This would consequently lead to a 9.3% CAGR growth

    in adjusted net profit over CY2012-14E to `173cr in CY2014E.

    Outlook and valuation

    With clear strategy of pushing its best brands and focus on nutrition and OTC drug

    portfolios and continuous new launches, we remain positive on the growth outlook

    for AIL. Post the 2QCY2013 results; we have revised our earnings estimates

    slightly. We expect the companys top-line and profit to grow at a CAGR of 9.9%

    and 9.3% over CY2012-14E to `1,996 and `173cr respectively in CY2014E. At

    current levels, the stock is trading at a PE of 16.7x its CY2014E earnings and P/BV

    of 3.3x for CY2014E. We maintain our Buy recommendation on the stock with arevised target price of `1,628 based on a target PE of 20x for CY2014E earnings.Exhibit 8:One-year forward PE band

    Key concerns

    Shift of focus to unlisted subsidiary

    Abbott Laboratories, USA, bought the healthcare solution business from Piramal

    Healthcare Ltd. (PHL) for a consideration of US$3.8bn, which was transferred to

    the unlisted subsidiary, Abbott Healthcare Pvt Ltd (AHPL). The transfer included

    manufacturing facilities at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh; rights to approximately 350

    brands and trademarks and ~5,000 employees relating to its domestic

    formulations business. Since the unlisted subsidiary is 100% owned with extended

    portfolio from Piramals healthcare business, there is a possibility that the parent

    company shifts its focus to the unlisted entity. Also, the merger would limit listed

    AILs access to untapped therapeutic segments where PHL already exists.

    Impact of new drug pricing policy

    According to the new drug pricing order, the government will bring prices of 348

    essential drugs (all formulations) mentioned in the National List of Essential

    Medicines (NLEM) under control against the current practice of controlling prices of

    74 bulk drugs and their formulations. The formulations that have more than one

    percent market share would be priced only by fixing a Ceiling Price (CP).

    Manufacturers would be free to fix any price for their products equal to or belowthe ceiling price. AIL currently has ~40% of its drugs under price control. Hence,

    any change in drug pricing policy would impact the companys top-line.
