ICICI Securities Report
Lupin Ltd.’s Q4 FY22 performance was disappointing with the company reporting its lowest ever Ebitda margin of 6.9% (our estimate: 11.5%) due to steep price erosion in the U.S., product recalls and elevated raw materials and freight costs.
Revenue grew 2.6% YoY to Rs 38.8 billion (our estimate: Rs 39.2 billion).
Adjusting for Rs 1.3 billion impairment charges for Gavis IPs, net loss stood at Rs 680 million (our estimate: Rs 1.7 billion).
U.S. revenue declined 10.4% QoQ to $181 million (our estimate: $206 million). U.S. growth is highly dependent on key launches and plant clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration post re-inspection.
Steep price erosion in the U.S. in near term doesn’t provide room for error.
We believe Lupin's growth outlook remains uncertain and Ebitda margin would remain subdued going ahead.
