IMP – Low growth prospects make valuation not really attractive

  • In Q3-2022, IMP recorded net revenue and PBT of VND 418 billion (+63% YoY) and VND 72 billion (+89% YoY), respectively. Accumulated 9M2022, net revenue and PBT reached VND 1,087 billion (+25% YoY) and VND 197 billion (+27% YoY), completing 75% and 72% of the annual plan. Net revenue and PBT accumulated 9M2022 completed 70% and 71% of our forecast, respectively.
  • IMP 4 factory will help IMP become the first domestic company to participate in competitive bidding with foreign manufacturing companies in bidding packages of Non - Betalactam antibiotics tiers 1&2. However, we forecast that revenue contribution from IMP 4 will only reach VND 83 billion, equivalent to 5% of the share of the ETC channel in 2023 due to the scale of Non-Betalactam antibiotics that IMP 4 is expected to produce is relatively small.
  • Net revenue and NPAT in 2022F are VND 1,546 billion (+22% YoY) and VND 222 billion (+17.6% YoY), respectively. For 2023F, net revenue and NPAT will reach VND 1,675 billion (+8.3% YoY) and VND 240 billion (+7.8% YoY), respectively. The stock is being traded at a P/E 2023F valuation 13% lower than the 5Y average of 22.3x at 19.8x but still quite high considering the 5Y CAGR of NPAT at 7%.
  • We recommend to ACCUMULATE IMP with a target price of VND 63,000 VND per share.
