SANOFI INDIA: Revenue growth leads earnings for the quarter

(SANL IN, Mkt Cap USD1.8b, CMP INR5790, TP INR6850, 18% Upside, Buy)

 

  • Revenue in-line; superior margin leads better-than-expected earnings: Sanofi’s (SANL) 3QCY18 revenue increased ~11% YoY to INR7.4b (v/s est. of INR7.5b), on account of better traction in existing products. Gross margin during the quarter declined by ~430bp (-140bp QoQ) to 58% because of high base of past year. EBITDA margin contracted at lower rate of ~230bp YoY to 25.2% (our est. 23%) due to lower employee cost and other expenses (down ~40bp and ~150bp as percentage of sales). EBITDA saw marginal improvement by ~2% YoY to INR1.9b (v/s est. of INR1.7b), mainly led by revenue growth. PAT grew in line with EBITDA and stood at INR1.2b (v/s est. of INR1.1b) for the quarter.
  • Anti-diabetic drives overall performance: Growth for the quarter was largely driven by volume, new launches. Price hike supported growth to some extent. The chronic segment of the portfolio (~48% of total sales) grew better than the acute segment. Sanofi’s secondary sales increased marginally by 0.6%, as against 9.6% growth in IPM. Growth during the quarter was led by Anti-diabetic portfolio (~28% of sales), which is up 11.7% YoY. Lantus, its largest product grew by ~16% YoY during the quarter. The growth was offset to some extent by cardiac (15% of sales), vaccines (13% of sales), and respiratory (11% of sales) segment.
