MOSL: LUPIN (Buy)-Announces sale of Kyowa biz-Deal to improve financial leverage, boost inorganic prospects

Lupin: Announces sale of Kyowa biz; Deal to improve financial leverage, boost inorganic prospects

(LPC IN, Mkt Cap USD4.7b, CMP INR736, TP INR860, 17% Upside, Buy)

 

  • Lupin (LPC) has announced the sale of its entire stake in Kyowa Pharma to Unison, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the company’s shareholders.
  • The stake will be sold at an enterprise value (EV) of INR37b, which implies EV/sales of 2x. This, in our view, is fair valuation, given the adverse pricing scenario in the Japanese generic pharma market.
  • Net cash inflow of INR21b (post-tax) would help LPC to pare debt over the near term and look for acquisitions in the focus markets of the US/India over the medium term.
