Our view:
Aurobindo US injectables sales declined in FY21 offset by 8.5% growth in oral solids business. We expect a strong jump in FY22‐23 US injectables as rebound sets in. Reckon injectables restructuring (Eugia being consolidated and likely plans lined up for Unit IV) as the next trigger given the strong growth expected in injectables. Vizag unit for Europe would drive growth in FY23 and improve European margins further from current double digit.
Ramp up in Unit IV and Eugia along with monetization of Eugia and standalone injectable pipeline would be another driver of growth. Expect margin to gradually inch up as gains from injectables are offset by R&D at ~5.5‐6% of sales in FY22/23. We cut FY23 estimate by ~3% on lower ARV sales (now expected to stay flat) but retain BUY with largely unchanged TP Rs1,100.
