While Q4FY20 results were subdued as the nationwide lockdown marginally impacted availability of raw materials, finished goods and supply chain distribution, overall FY20 revenues grew 11.3% YoY to Rs 4093.1 crore, mainly due to strong growth in key therapies & power brands. EBITDA margins improved 204 bps YoY to 18.5% mainly due to better operational leverage. EBITDA grew 25.1% YoY to Rs 756.4 crore. PAT grew 31.7% YoY to Rs 592.9 crore. Delta vis-à-vis EBITDA was mainly due to lower tax rate.
Outlook
We continue to believe in Abbott’s strong growth track in power brands and capability of new launches on a fairly consistent basis (+100 launches in the last 10 years). We upgrade the stock from HOLD to BUY and arrive at a target price of Rs 19030 based on 45x FY22 EPS of Rs 422.8.
