Laboratorios Farmacéuticos ROVI - Stunning growth in speciality pharmaceuticals

Laboratorios Farmacéuticos ROVI (ROVI) reported Q118 operating revenue of €75.8m (+12% y-o-y), driven by strong growth in the speciality pharmaceutical business (+23%). Flagship drug Hibor (bemiparin) grew 19% (y-o-y) and the majority of the portfolio of drugs posted robust growth. Biosimilar enoxaparin reported sales of €4.1m (despite only being available in Germany since September 2017 and the UK since March 2018), and ROVI has announced a distribution and marketing agreement in the MENA region with Hikma. This asset remains a key driver of near-term top-line growth and medium-term operating profit growth. Toll manufacturing sales declined 23% y-o-y, but we note that Q117 was an exceptionally buoyant year for the injectables division. We value ROVI at €956.7m.
