Q2FY20 result highlights
Impact on financials: Increase FY20 earnings to account for MAT tax credit and one-off PP divestment income; FY21e broadly unchanged
Valuations & view
DRL’s Q2 has been marred by multiple one-offs across various items. Even adjusting for the one-offs (several unspecified) cited by the mgt, numbers are weak especially in terms of US sales, India sales and GMs. Overall, these one-offs create some level of ambiguity on the profitability of the recurring business and therefore H2 earnings trajectory will be key to assess the underlying business profitability and pace of earnings recovery. Structurally, EM sales growth combined with cost rationalization focus have created a strong growth platform for DRL despite limited contribution from the US business in recent quarters. DRL has one of the most valuable ANDA pipeline amongst peers which hopefully should deliver going forward. While the worst is likely behind, given the earnings volatility, we believe that the turnaround is largely priced in at current levels. Maintain Neutral with target price of 2889 (19x FY21E).​
