Alembic Pharma (Oral Solids ==> Injectables, Onco, Derma, Opthalmic)

The updated numbers are below. Some of the major highlights for me were:

  • ANDA filing rate has been maintained. US revenue per launch reduced drastically from 23.5 cr. in FY21 to 15.87 cr. in FY22
  • Gross margins were at ~73%, with all the pricing pressure they were able to maintain good gross margins
  • Domestic market is doing very well which is a reflection of change in strategy (MR productivity increased from 30 lakh in FY21 to 35 lakhs in FY22 + 500 new MRs were added).
  • Alembic Pharma was able to get one new brand in top 300. Domesti market share has increased slightly from 1.4% in FY21 to 1.5% in FY22 (mostly because of very strong growth in azithral which crossed 450 cr. sales in 2021)
  • Changed 3PL distributor in USA
  • In domestic markets, company doesn’t focus on new to market launches. The approach is to gain market share gradually in already existing molecules
  • US growth has been due to increase in market share in some products + few shortages
  • Indian brands are currently valued very highly, not ready to acquire at these multiples
  • High R&D is because of accelerated amortization of R&D costs from Aleor
