Payor mix for Q1-

Cash - 44 pc
Insured + Corporate - 27 pc
Govt schemes - 21 pc
International - 8 pc

In patient footfalls - 59k vs 55k, YoY

Cayman Islands revenues @ 245 vs 186 cr

Capex lined up for FY 24 @ 1140 cr out of which, 120 cr already spent in Q1

Net Debt ( Debt - Cash ) @ 20 cr

In India, Q1 is generally the weakest Qtr. Expect business to pick up gong fwd

In India, 40 pc of bed capacity is with public sector. 10 pc is with organised players, rest with unorganised players. Hence the scope for growth is huge

Net Debt to go upto 600 cr to fund Capex

Have applied with IRDAI to set up a standalone health insurance company

Most of the growth in Q1 attributable to greater occupancies and throughput which enabled the company to serve more customers. Price hikes played a smaller part

Generally - annual price hikes are in low single digits. Last taken on 01 Jan 23

Only smaller bed capacities to come online in next 3 yrs. Major new capacities to be avlb only after 3 yrs. This may lead to margin expansion in the interim

On Carsyil, Given 70% revenue from export market and weakening Housing construction in western countries as interest rates increased. How is company positioned to grow despite potential decline in end market ie Housing construction in west. However it looks they managed to grow even in COVID despite standstill in construction activity which makes me wonder about the strength in their business.

[ranvir]

Your observation is bang on. Let’s say the West is witnessing a slowing construction mkt

Carysil can still grow in two possible scenarios -

Fresh construction may be slowing, renovations may be rising

Or …

Mkt share gains at the expense of competitors in an otherwise slowing construction mkt

The proof of the pudding is in the eating ie results in case of Carysil. So… I would say, lets wait for Q2 results

I hope I am right. If not, I ll sell

Company expects the scale of business to expand signifigantly in H2 leading to better operating leverage and hence profitability

Company expects interest costs to fall significantly wef Q3 when the proceeds of rights issue are utilised

Sevoflurane comprises 80 pc of global demand for inhalation anaesthesia and is also growing well. Company currently can’t keep up with the demand, hence expanding/debottlenecking capacities of Sevoflurane

Expect most of the Phase-3 CDMO molecules to commercialise in next 3 yrs - this can be a big revenue/profitability driver in the future

WuXi, Lonza and Piramal are the only major players in anti body drug conjugates (ADC) Mkt. Their demand is steadily going up. Company’s expanded ADC facilities are expected to go live in H2

The new CHG product launched in Q1 in an injectable product

Disc: holding, biased

[ranvir]

Was going through the Q1 results, concall, management commentary etc iro two neglected stocks ( IMHO ) - Emami Ltd and Amrutanjan Healthcare Ltd

I think, both can potentially do well this year. However, I can’t be sure. It’s just a feel that u get going through Q1 results

Some triggers lined up for Emami Ltd -

Pickup in sales of male grooming segment and positive guidance for the rest of the year

Good strength in the sales of Zandu’s Ayurvedic products

Company posting descent results despite a weak summer season and hence weakish sales performance from Navratna franchise

Promoters pledge likely to come down from 33 pc to 18 pc post the sale of the Hospitals business to Manipal group

Kesh King Amortisation being out of the P&L for this FY

Some triggers for Amrutanjan -

Heavy channel inventory of Balms which affected the performance in FY 23 is a thing of the past now

Continued descent to good performance from Comfy ( clocking sales of around 80 cr - yearly run rate ), Fruitik and Electroplus brands ( combined sales of around 60 cr - yearly run rate ). If the company can sustain the growth in these 3 brands and go steady on the pain management category, the stock may see some potential upside

Disc: I am biased. These r just my thoughts. Can go wrong. Likely to initiate a tracking position

[ranvir]

Some reasonably valued, descent growth stocks at current market prices ( IMHO )-

Dodla Dairy
Ajanta Pharma
Taj GVK Hotels
Emami Ltd
RPG Lifesciences

Cipla

HDFC Bank

Some interesting stock Ideas -

Cipla + Sun Pharma - reducing pricing pressures in US generics + Complex and speciality portfolios in US

Somany Ceramics - valuation gap vs Kajaria in an industry that’s likely to do very well this yr

Arman Financials, KVB, HDFC Bank, Axis Bank - still below fair value - IMHO

Angel One - gains in Mkt share and constantly rising F&O volumes

RACL, Elecon engineering - making rapid strides in export Mkts

Mayur Uniquoters, Carysil - Buoyant Q1 management commentary wrt exports and domestic Mks

For long term- Neuland - expect CDMO engine to fire

Prince Pipes - Inventory gains plus good demand scenario for its products

Glenmark Pharma Q1 results -

Region wise sales -

India - 1064 cr, up 3 pc (under performed the IPM)
North America - 808 cr, up 22 pc
Europe - 573 cr, up 73 pc
RoW ( basically EMs ) - 551 cr, up 30 pc
APIs - 376 cr, up 16 pc

Percentage of Branded sales out of the total @ 47 pc
( basically India + RoW formulations )

EBITDA @ 631 vs 431 cr

Margins @ 18.6 vs 15.5 pc YoY

Glenmark’s 9 brands are in top 300 brands in IPM. Glenmark is no - 2 in Respiratory and Derma segments in India

Glenmark Consumer care grew 20 pc. Has popular brands like - Candid Dusting powder and Scalp Anti Dandruff shampoo in its portfolio

Mkt Share of Glenmark’s Speciality Drug - Ryaltris (nasal spray for allergies) in various countries -

Aus-18 pc
SA-15 pc
Poland-8 pc
Italy-10 pc

Glenmark’s subsidiary - Ichnos Sciences has various NCE under discovery and development phase - most of them are Oncology molecules. GPL aims to get into some out-licensing deals yr

Have reduced R&D spends to 8.5 pc of sales. Will bring it down to 7.5 odd pc by next yr

This will boost profitability going forward. GPL’s heavy spends (beyond Industry norm of 5-6 pc of sales) are because of its NCE programs

Company to remain focussed on 03 Pharma therapies - Derma, Respiratory, Oncology. Going to launch a number of new products in these areas

Continue to file 10-15 products in US/ yr. But the complexity of the products has gone up significantly. Not filing plain vanilla products anymore

Disc: hold tracking positions in both GPL and GLS. Biased. Not SEBI registered

Glenmark Pharma latest updates-

Selling 75 pc stake in GLS (Glenmark Life Sciences) that was involved in making APIs and had a small CDMO business - to Nirma Group

To get sale proceeds (post Tax) of about 5000 cr. Has a debt of 4600 cr on Books

GPL to be debt free by yr end

GLS used to pay hefty dividends to its parent so as to reduce its Debt burden. That obligation is now gone

GLS’s CDMO ambitions were at risk as its parent (GPL) was involved in NCE research. Innovators were uncomfortable handing over CDMO projects to GLS because of that

GLS used to trade at significant discount to peers because of these reasons

I think, its a win-win for both GPL and GLS

Disc : bought a tracking position in both

Angel One
Syngene Intl

Disc- holding all. Not SEBI registered. Biased. Don’t buy blindly at these valuations. Be value conscious before making a descision

This is just my informed ( I think so ) opinion

[Charanjeev_Kohli]

IMHO : Wonderla, Neuland, RPG Lifesciences & Syngene have strong moats & long runway. Have potential for multi decade growth

Disc.: Invested from low levels for very long term

[ranvir]

Let me give some explanations wrt each company -

RPG LIFE, ERIS LIFE - Both have great focus on branded Indian Mkts ( Eris doesn’t sell outside India ). Their managements are aggressive. Both companies throw up cash like FMCG companies ( Or like - Mankind Pharma, Abbott India ). Their return ratios are excellent. Growth in last 3-5 yrs has been Mkt beating. Its like buying FMCG companies at the price of Pharma ( ie sub 25 PE kind of valuations )

Syngene Ltd - Only end to end listed CRO to CDMO player with impeccable regulatory track record. As more molecules go into commercialisation, profits can really take off

Neuland Labs - Similar story except that it doesn’t do the CRO work nor does it have the biologics manufacturing capabilities. As more molecules get into commercial stage, there can be blue skies ahead. Here too - the regulatory track record has been very good

Senco Gold - Gold/ Diamond jewellery retailer. Only few except Titan have a track record of good corporate Governance. Senco is one of them. Plus they have dominant mkt share in East India. If they do not goof it up themselves, ingredients are in place for sustained growth and high valuations for the company

Angel One - A discount broker - like Zerodha. Their tech platform is very good. Has been consistently gaining Mkt share for the past 4-5 yrs. Plus the F&O volumes in India ( the segment where they charge on a per trade basis ) have never seen a dip since 2008 on a yearly basis. No Dip was seen in 2008 financial crisis, nor during the COVID fall. To me ( as suggested by data ), its a secular story commanding cyclical valuations

Explanation for the rest of the pack by tomorrow

Disc : holding all. Biased

[ranvir]

Aditya Vision - A fast growing white goods retailer. The largest organised player in Bihar. Expanding now into Jharkhand and Eastern UP which are - similar markets wrt consumer behaviour etc. Has demonstrated great growth and return ratios while maintaining business hygiene ( like - Inventory, receivables, payables etc ). Already has more than 115 stores ( aprox - don’t remember the exact figure )

Wonderla Holidays - At present - runs 03 theme parks in - Bengaluru, Kochi, Hyderabad. Again - excellent return ratios and cash flows. 02 more theme parks coming up in Bhuvneshwar ( next yr ) and Chennai ( in FY 25 ). Has ample land banks at all 5 locations to keep adding attractions. Has Signed MoU with Govts of Punjab, MP, Gujarat for future expansion into these areas ie - Mohali, Indore, Ahmedabad. All this is gonna be asset light expansion where they won’t be owning the land. Growth for next many years looks - kind of sorted
