margin to recover to ~19/ 21% by FY23/ 24 (18% in FY22) on operating leverage.

Valuation and outlook


While recent execution challenges in CDMO and supply chain challenges in CHG remain
in near term, we expect demerger to improve focus on CDMO (integrated offering across
locations), CHG (high entry barrier business) and OTC (fast growing underpenetrated
market). Carlyle PE had invested USD 490 mn for a 20% stake in PPL in Oct’20 at an EV of
USD 2.78 bn (equity value of ~USD 2.45 bn). Our PPL equity value is Rs 227 bn (~USD 2.9
bn) on 14x FY24E EV/ EBITDA. We value PEL’s 80% stake in PPL at Rs 760/share (SoTP)
and post-demerger PPL value/share (incl. Carlyle) of Rs 190 (refer exhibit 27).

Piramal Pharma – a three-pronged business model

After selling its domestic formulations business (~55% of FY10 sales of Rs 36.7 bn) to Abbott
(for USD 3.8 bn; 9x FY10 sales, 29x FY10 EBITDA) in 2010, Piramal has rebuilt its pharma
segment to Rs 67 bn in sales in FY22 (~4.4x of FY11 sales). It currently operates in three key
segments – (1) Piramal Pharma Solutions (CDMO business) – integrated solutions across drug
life cycle, (2) Piramal Critical Care/ Complex Hospital Generics (CHG) – presence in high entry
barrier complex hospital generics and (3) India Consumer Healthcare/ OTC (ICH) – well-
recognized brands with large distribution network. Additionally, it has 49% stake in Allergan
India (JV) with ophthalmology player (Allergan) since 1996 wherein it is the exclusive
manufacturer for ophthalmic products (supplied through Pithampur facility) for the JV.

Recent challenges: Growth over the last few quarters has been impacted by execution
challenges related to raw material availability, manpower shortage (overseas talent attrition of
30-40 staff), logistics and changes in delivery schedules by customers. Both raw material and
manpower shortage was attributable to higher vaccine manufacturing (especially in developed
countries) as better profitability and government mandates led to shifting of RM supplies for
vaccine manufacturing and double-digit attrition rate was led by overseas quality control talent
being recruited by vaccine manufacturers. These factors led to execution challenges and
impacted EBITDA margin in the segment as the company shifted to higher-cost third party
CMOs for order fulfilment.

On manpower issue, it has nearly completed the recruitment process and candidates are
undergoing training. The company is also taking price hikes to help offset cost pressures by
quoting higher prices to new customers and renegotiating contracts with existing ones.

Outlook: It continues to invest in CDMO capacity expansion for niche capabilities (USD 157 mn
growth capex underway). During Q1FY23, it also appointed a new Chief Operating Officer for
CDMO division, Mr. Herve Berdou, who was earlier Global Head of Operations, Cell and Gene
Technologies at Lonza. While delayed customer decision making is leading to near-term
volatility, demand in the segment remains strong, and the company expects order book
improvement from Nov’22. We expect 14% revenue CAGR over FY22-24 driven by:
 Strong demand environment: Pharma companies are looking to de-risk their R&D efforts
and increase speed to market their drugs while reducing development and manufacturing
costs. This is leading to higher demand for CDMO players, with market expected to grow at
~7% over 2020 to 2026. Demand for Indian CDMOs has received an additional boost as
companies look to diversify from China. Despite global challenges in Biotech funding, it is
witnessing high RFP (Request For Proposals) activity from existing and new clients. Recent
pick-up in customer audits (55 in Q1FY23) is also a good indicator of improving order book
visibility.
 Capacity expansion: it is incurring capex of USD 157 mn for brownfield expansions at
multiple sites – (1) Aurora (operations commenced post API expansion), (2) Pithampur
(upgraded OSD capability with new block), (3) Digwal (expanded API capabilities through
operational efficiency), (4) Riverview (expanding for drug substance including HP-APIs) and
(5) Grangemouth and Morpeth (expanding for ADCs and APIs). Overall capacity utilization
across facilities is at 60%+.

August 29, 2022 7


Piramal Enterprises
Company Update

 Order book visibility: It has 34 molecules in phase III, of which 15+ are expected to be
commercialized leading to near- to mid-term growth. Growth in under patent products
(10 to 18 in last two years), increase in order book of integrated projects (1.5x from FY19
to FY22) and higher share of revenue from commercial products under patent (3x to
USD 56 mn over last three years) to drive growth.
 Differentiated offerings: Piramal’s expertise in niche, differentiated areas such as highly
potent APIs, antibody drug conjugates, sterile injectable, hormonal OSDs etc. will help
attract clients leading to higher organic growth and higher margin due to complex nature of
services.
 Continues to add capabilities through M&A: It continues to look for M&A opportunities
(albeit with a smaller ticket size now) to add capabilities. Recent acquisitions of Hemmo
Pharmaceuticals (Mar’21) and Yapan Bio (Dec’21) added new technologies and capabilities
in peptides and large molecules, including vaccines and gene therapy.
 Leveraging diversified manufacturing presence: It has 13 CDMO manufacturing facilities
across North America, Europe and India. The widespread manufacturing presence allows
its customers (75% from developed markets) to choose (a) lower cost manufacturing in
India or (b) manufacturing which is closer to them albeit at a premium. Contribution to
CDMO sales from India and overseas facilities are evenly split.
 Strong quality and regulatory track record: Company employees ~1,000 personnel in its
quality department across sites and starting FY12 has cleared 285 regulatory (16 in Q1’23),
36 USFDA inspections and 1,432 customer audits (55 in Q1’23). It has never received an
Official Action Indicated (OAI) status for any of its manufacturing facilities from USFDA.

Complex Hospital Generics (CHG)


Critical Care segment is a portfolio (40 products) of differentiated, limited competition products
across inhalation anesthesia, injectable pain, intrathecal spasticity, antibiotics and other
medications. PEL has strong presence in global inhalation anesthetics market
(~USD 880 mn market size; limited players) and is the only company to have entire generation
of inhalation anesthesia (Desflurane, Sevoflurane, Isoflurane, Halothane).

Recent challenges: The company has been facing supply chain related challenges over the last
two quarters led by change of API/ formulation supplies (for Jannsen injectable anesthesia
portfolio acquired in 2016) from Jannsen to a third party CMO on the expiration of its 5-year
contract with Jannsen. It expects the situation to be sorted by H2FY23.

Outlook: The segment recovered significantly in FY22, growing by 20% YoY (vs -10% in FY21
due to lower inhalation sales), despite supply-related challenges (high input/logistic costs) and
constraints from third party CMOs (which it is in the process of remediating) driven by strong

leadership in intrathecal portfolio in the US. While generic competition in the segment is on the
rise, PPL’s multiple contract extensions with major GPOs in the US bode well to maintain its
market share. We expect 15% revenue CAGR over FY22-24 driven by:
 High entry barriers: Intrathecal/ inhalation capabilities require high initial investments for
supplying drug/ device combinations and sustaining medical devices such as vaporisers as
well as dedicated production facilities for difficult-to-manufacture products. Moreover,
high share of tender-based or institutional Group Purchasing Organisations (GPOs) driven
orders also creates hurdles for new entrants. PPL recently won multiple tenders for
Sevoflurane in EU and other geographies.
 Strong presence in inhalation portfolio (contributes ~58% to CHG revenue): Inhaled
anaesthesia sales are sticky in nature as it requires vaporiser which once installed work only
with that particular company’s product (liquid anaesthesia gas). Piramal is the largest
Sevoflurane supplier in the US (market share of ~40%), UK, Mexico, South Africa and Brazil
and ranks 4 in inhalation anaesthesia globally. While Desflurane approval in US has been
delayed (submitted response to queries awaiting FDA response) and likely to come in FY24
now (vs CY22 earlier), its global rollout in other markets, market share ramp-up
Sevoflurane in the US along with Sevoflurane line extensions in other markets will help
growth in the coming years. It is adding Sevoflurane capacities at Digwal to cater to RoW
market demand.
 Strong pipeline: As of Q1FY23, it has 40 SKU’s at various stages of development & approval
with an addressable market size of ~USD 7 bn. Out of these 40, 13 have already been
approved but pending launch, 11 are under approval and 16 are under development. During
Q1FY23, it launched 2 SKUs (injectable) of first to market generic opportunity in US and
launched pre-filled syringe (PFS) in Italy.
 Steady base business growth: Company is present across 3 forms of drug administration in
hospital i.e inhalation, intrathecal (spine) and intravenous (injectable). While it continues to
add new products through its strong pipeline, base business is also expected to maintain a
good growth momentum led by single digit growth in inhaled anesthesia market and low
double-digit growth in both intravenous and intrathecal markets.
 Leveraging global distribution reach: PEL has a wide distribution network with (a) direct
sales force in the US, Europe (UK, Italy and Germany) which allows it to launch new products
(developed in-house/acquired/in-licensed) at a lower cost and (b) strong local marketing
partnerships in other markets including Japan and South Africa which enable larger
geographical presence.

India Consumer Healthcare (ICH)


PPL is one of the leading players (10th largest) in the Indian consumer healthcare space with
established brands (such as Little’s, Lacto Calamine, I-Pill, Saridon and Supradyn) across OTC
categories (such as baby care, skin care, women care, allergy management, gastro, VMN, and
pain) marketed through its country-wide robust distribution network.

It started the OTC segment with acquisition of Saridon from Roche Holding and Lacto Calamine
from Duphar Interfran Ltd in the early 1990s. It was only in 2007 that the company decided to
establish its own consumer products division and focused on its growth.

More recently, it has developed a range of Covid care products to maintain growth momentum
during the pandemic such as disinfectant range under Triactiv (sprays, wipes, sanitizers, face
masks), Covifind and VMS range under Ourdaily, and pulse oximeters.

Outlook: The ICH segment continues to be driven by strong performance in power brands (57%
of FY22 segment sales) as the company continues to reinvest profits with focus on growing these
brands through investment for brand promotion, media spends and increasing presence in
modern trade channels. We expect 22% revenue CAGR over FY22-24 driven by
 Strong brand equity with focus on power brands: Marquee brands include Little’s, Lacto
Calamine, I-Pill, Polycrol, Tetmosol, Saridon and Supradyn which contributed ~57% to FY22
revenue at Rs 4.24 bn (+34% YoY). Piramal continues to invest in promotion of these core
brands to increase their market share along with launching multiple brand extensions to
leverage their brand equity. Strong investments in brand promotions is visible through its
choice of brand ambassadors such as Kareena Kapoor for Little’s, Ajay Devgan for
Tetmosol, etc.
 Strong nation-wide reach for scale-up of new launches: It launched 40 products and 18
new SKUs during FY22 (7 launched in Q1’23 itself) with share of revenue from new
launches since April 2020 at 15% as of FY22. This coupled with a strong distribution
network of ~2,00,000 chemists and cosmetics stores and 10,000+ kids, toys and gift shops
will support the growth momentum in the near to medium term.
 Emergence of e-commerce and modern trade channels
 Multi-channel distribution strategy – it is increasing presence in alternative channels
i.e., currently at 24 e-commerce platforms and 8,700+ modern trade stores. It has also
launched its own D2C e-commerce website, wellify.in.
 Continued focus on e-commerce which contributed ~15% to FY22 revenue. Revenue
share of alternate channels has more than doubled from 10% in FY20 to 22% in FY22.
 Using analytics and technology to improve productivity and decision.

Piramal Enterprises
Company Update

Outlook and valuation

Managing near-term challenges: The company has been able to partly offset rise in input costs
through price hikes (with some inventory led lag effect). On the supply side, it is widening its
vendor base and securing alternative suppliers for ~2 years, to mitigate future disruptions. On
the manpower shortage in CDMO segment led by higher overseas talent attrition during Covid,
recruitment and training of replacement staff is underway.

Guidance in Q1FY23 call: Refrained from FY23 guidance citing volatility in CDMO business
witnessed in Q1’23 (vs high teen FY23 sales growth guidance earlier). Reiterated long-term
guidance of 15% sales growth and aims to improve margin to 25-28% in the next 3-5 years.
Expects stronger performance in H2FY23 vs H1 (H2FY22 comprised ~70% of FY22 EBITDA).
Pharma demerger and listing expected by Q3FY23 is on track. It has an internal debt ceiling of
4x EBITDA of business (~3.3x as of FY22, current net debt of ~Rs 40 bn).

Capex: Capex spend of USD 350-400 mn over the next two years to increase capacity/ add
capabilities across (1) antibody drug conjugates at Grangemouth, (2) HP-API (high potent) at
Riverview, (3) API capacity in India, (4) potent sterile injectable capacity at Lexington and (5)
maintenance capex.

 We assign EV/EBITDA multiple for CDMO at 12% discount to average of peers given weak
operational performance amid continued execution challenges and lower return ratios.
Multiple for CHG is at par with peers given high margin and 10% discount given to consumer
business due to lower ratios as business is still in scale-up phase.

Company Update

 We value CDMO business at EV/EBITDA of 16x FY24E, CHG at EV/EBITDA of 11x FY24E
and ICH at EV/EBITDA of 19x FY24E to arrive at total valuation of the pharma business.
 Our PPL equity value is Rs 227 bn (~USD 2.9 bn) based on implied 14x FY24E EV/ EBITDA.
We maintain our estimates and continue to value 80% of pharma business at Rs 760/share
(14x FY24E).

Carlyle investment: For reference, Carlyle Group in Oct’20 had invested equity capital of USD
490 mn for a 20% stake in Piramal Pharma, valuing the business at an enterprise value of USD
2,775 mn (equity valuation of ~USD 2.45 bn) with an upside component of USD 360 mn
depending on company’s FY21 performance. The transaction was completed in Oct’20. Apart
from capital infusion in the company that was utilized for reducing debt (at Rs 26 bn in Dec’20
from Rs 40 bn in Mar’20), the deal also added Carlyle’s global healthcare experience in terms of
operational expertise and business acumen.

Demerger details: Announced in Oct’21, pharma demerger from Piramal Enterprises Limited
(PEL) to Piramal Pharma Limited (PPL) is in final stages on recent NCLT approval (12 Aug’22)
with record date for demerger set at September1, 2022.
