Sun Pharma - Operating performance in-line; Halol resolution key catalyst

  • SUNP’s 3QFY18 revenue fell 14% YoY to INR65.98b, primarily due to a decline in the US business.
  • US business declined ~36% YoY to USD328m due to inclusion of sales from Imatinib (six months’ exclusivity) in the base quarter. Sequential improvement in the US business can be attributed to re-coup of deferred sales from 2QFY18 and some expansion in market share.
  • Gross margin shrunk 330bp QoQ (-260bp YoY) to 68.2%, led by higher RM cost for Taro and an adverse product mix.
  • EBITDA declined 37% YoY to INR13.9b. EBITDA margin improved ~120bp QoQ to 21.2%, led by ~20% decrease in other expenses due to cost-rationalization measures.
  • PAT declined ~75% YoY to INR3.7b due to one-time expense of INR5.1b related to change in US tax laws, adjusted for which PAT stood at INR8.8b.
