Our pharma universe reported strong earnings for the quarter aided by Lipitor (RBXY), Geodon (DRL, LPC) and Lipidox/Taro onetime (SUNP). For 4Q on base business, Sales /EBITDA/Recurring PAT grew 22%/33%/23% YoY (40%/67%/51% - including oneoffs). Amongst the front line, base business profitability improved and stood strong for DRL, RBXY, and LPC. Divis and Dishman too delivered p positive surprise p on the Core OPM. Domestic formulations growth was better than expected at 25% YoY (versus 13.2% in 3Q). DRL continued to surprise with 17%, others including SUNP, LPC, CDH and Glenmark were in 2024%. DRL, RBXY, LPC holds positive F13 outlook. SUNPs 1H to remain weak. Adjusting for several non-recurring sales, exports formulation grew robust ~19% YoY (US/RoW at 25%/21%). Within CRAMs segment, Divis+Dishman results were upbeat. Overall Generics core margin improved to ~22% (20% in 4QF11), thanks to high formulation mix ~54% (52% in 4Q). US fml mix was 31% (30% in 4Q). CRAMs margin surprise, largely driven by higher utilisation of DSN (Divis) and positive yield in CA (Dishman). Divis reported 40% (SSLe: 36%). Dishman clocked ~25% (SSLe: 20%). Factoring in weak INR (avg rate of Rs53/US$ for 1Q, down 19% YoY), we anticipate positive earning surprise to continue in upcoming quarter from DRL, SUNP, LPC, RBXY Divis and Ipca. Other 4Q highlights (details on pg-4): 1) Negative surprise during 4Q, 2) F13 Outlook; companies guiding towards strong growth, 3) comment over US$3bn F15 Outlook for LPC and CDH. We revisit our pharma coverage (details on pg-4): Resetting our valuations to F14 multiples. This drives recommendation downgrades in some stocks despite price target upgrades from the rollover. Ratings impacted during 4Q result season: Upgrades: Divis (TP-Rs1,008) and DRL (TPRs1,995). Downgrades: Biocon (TP-Rs270) and SUNP (TP-Rs641). What we prefer (replacing SUNP with DRL in order of preference): Amongst the large cap, cap we have replaced SUNP with DRL in order of preference followed by LPC and anticipate a relative outperformance from stock over mid-long term. In the mid-cap, our order of preferences is Divis, Ipca and Dishman.
