Revenues de-grew 9.4% YoY to Rs. 7585 crore (I-direct estimate: Rs. 7948 crore) mainly due to 27.5% YoY decline in US formulations to Rs. 2136 crore due to high base and continued pressure on dermatology segment (Taro included).

Valuation & Outlook

While the company's US generics front is going through calibrated product rationalisation, specialty segment looks promising due to robust product pipeline, steady progress. This metamorphic shift from generics to specialty, however, is likely to weigh on US growth in the near term. That said, higher contribution from specialty and strong domestic franchise is likely to change the product mix towards more remunerative businesses by FY22. This would have positive implications for margins also as we expect faster absorption of frontloaded costs on the specialty front. We maintain BUY and arrive at our new target price of Rs. 625 based on 26x FY22E EPS of Rs. 24.1.
