Q3 FY 24 Concall highlights -
Company is the third largest contract manufacturer of formulations in India
Acquisition of Sharon Bio has given company an entry into regulated mkts like Canada, UK, Australia, EU
9M revenues of contract manufacturing services in FY 24 has been flat in FY 24. This is because of price deflation in API prices that the company had to pass to its clients
Sharon Bio is currently doing an avg annual revenue run rate of 180 odd cr. Without any further capex, Sharon Bio’s facilities can generate another 90-100 cr of annual sales which can increase further with not so capital intensive de-bottlenecking exercise
A large chunk of money raised via IPO has been used for debt repayment. It ll lead of annual interest savings of aprox 20 cr. The only debt that the company is now carrying is 235 cr for Jammu project. Company is eligible to receive interest rate subvention on the same from the Govt of J&K. Effective interest rate on this loan is as low as 2.5 pc
The Jammu facility is expected to be commercialised towards the end of Q1 FY 25. Expect good ramp up from that facility only by Q3 FY 25
Jammu facility has a peak revenue potential of > 1500 cr / yr. Likely to be achieved within 5 yrs. Expect to do > 300 cr sales from this plant in FY 26
Expect the company level margins to improve going forward as the capacity utilisation from existing facilities improve. The Jammu facility is eligible for GST refunds from the Govt. That should also help the blended margins when Jammu facility starts contributing meaningfully
As the regulations fro Govt wrt Quality controls, good manufacturing practises keep tightening, its advantage organised / large contract manufacturers like Innova Captab
