1 Event Update November 08, 2017 Market Cap. (Rs bn) 379 Free Float (%) 53 Shares O/S (mn) USFDA Warning Letter Entails Further Downside Risk to US Biz The US FDA has issued a Warning Letter (WL) to s (LPC) two facilities at Goa and Pithampur (Unit-II), which contribute ~50% to LPC s US sales. Two common observations are: Handling of Out-of-Specification Results: The US FDA needs review of old batches, which were already dispatched to the US. Hold Time Studies: The US FDA requires a hold time study on entire batch and retrospective evaluation (from Jan 14) to determine impact on products, which are already in the market. Notably, the US FDA issued three observations for Goa facility (inspected in Apr 17) and six observations for second unit at Pithampur (inspected in May 17). The Management expects less likelihood of import alert as there is no data integrity issue. LPC expects to complete required remedial measures within six months, post which the USFDA can be invited for re-inspection. Management s View Though retrospective evaluation was carried out for Goa unit in the past, LPC did not carry out similar evaluation for Pithampur Unit-II. Highlighting that resolution of WL would take months, the Management expects less likelihood of import alert as there is no data integrity issue. The Management expects to complete remedial measures within six months, post which the US FDA can be invited re-inspection. LPC plans to engage independent consultants for remedial measures. Total of ~40-50 ANDAs are pending for approval from these 2 plants, out of which LPC intends to carry site transfer of high-value ~12 ANDAs (granexa, gtoprol XL). Overall, ~25-30 approvals will get impacted in FY18/19 due to this WL. As two key products i.e. Levothyroxine (Pithampur Unit-I) & gtamiflu suspension (Aurangabad) are filed from other facility, the WL won t have any impact on them.

Now with WL to two important plants, we see further downside risk to its US biz led by lack of launches and product concentration risks, which would lead to lower returns ratios. We expect ~25-30 approvals to get impacted in FY18E/19E due to this WL, which would have material impact on LPC s earnings in FY18E and FY19E. We have reduced our target multiple to 18x (from 19x) and trimming down our earnings estimate by 7%/16% for FY18E/FY19E on the back of WL to its two key plants, we maintain our recommendation on the stock with a downwardly revised Target Price of Rs820 (from Rs1,030 earlier).
