Granules India

Reco: ACCUMULATECMP: Rs 847Target Price: Rs 881

Growth drivers intact, earnings growth to pick up

Key numbers below expectations with sales of Rs3.2bn (our estimates Rs3.6bn), EBITDA at Rs545mn (estimate Rs569mn) and PAT at Rs236mn (Rs238mn)         

Q3FY15 largely a forgettable quarter for Granules given production disruption for nearly three weeks due to cyclone on Eastern coast

Clear signs of improvement in business with erstwhile subsidiary Auctus pharma likely to break-even by Q4FY15. This coupled with higher utilization and improving product mix to ensure earnings CAGR of 30% over FY15-17

Maintain our estimates and our Accumulate stock rating with target price of 881/share, valuing stock at 10X FY17e EPS. Key risk to our stock call is delays in capacity ramp-up and a slower-than-expected improvement in Auctus’s financial profile

Power brands lead growth; Retain HOLD

Results beats estimates – Revenues at Rs 6.9bn, up 18.4% yoy with volume growth at 11% yoy. Higher gross margins offset by ad & promotion spends, thus 140bps decline in EBITDA margins to 30.6%. APAT at 22% yoy to Rs 1.8bn due to higher other income

Volume growth healthy at 11% led by power brands, Navratna and Boro Plus. Expect distribution expansion and innovation to drive sustained growth in power brands

Gross margin increase offset by higher ad & promotion spends. Factored 400bps gross margin rise, but higher ad spends to curtail EBITDA margin to 80bps yoy over FY14-17E
