CREDIT STRENGTHS:

  • Established track record of over 17 years in the pharmaceuticals formulation industry: The company has had established operations of more than 17 years in manufacturing pharmaceutical formulations. SHL manufactures generic formulations in 23 therapeutic categories, such as antibiotics, antihistamine, antifungal, cough preparation, and vitamins, among others.
  •  Diversified product portfolio and geographic presence: The company’s product profile is diversified, comprising liquid injectables, tablets/ capsules, oral liquid syrups, dry powder injections and syrups. SHL’s product portfolio includes approximately 300 product registrations for various therapeutic segments, such as antibiotics, anti-cold drugs, anti-malarial, and multi-vitamins, among others

CREDIT CHALLENGES:

  • Risks associated with stabilisation and successful scale-up of operations for recently completed and ongoing debt-funded project for manufacturing oncology drugs: SHL has undertaken a debt-funded capital expenditure (capex) for setting up a new plant to manufacture oncology drugs. The formulation unit achieved commercial operations in October 2021 whereas the operations of API unit is expected to commence in next six months and the injectable unit is expected to commence from December 2022.
  • Profitability remains susceptible to fluctuations in raw material prices: The company’s major raw materials include APIs, such as Paracetamol, Artemether and Diclofenac; and procures it from domestic suppliers all over the country. SHL’s profitability, hence, remains susceptible to such raw material price fluctuations. The operating margin during H1 FY2022 moderated by 238bps over full year FY2021 on account of the inflationary raw material regime, wherein the ability to fully pass on such costs remain critical to protect margins.

OBSERVATION:

 

Increase in revenue is expected in upcoming quarters from Oncology formulation & API unit, commencement of Oncology API & Injectables will start after September’22 & December’22. A significant improvement in the operating income of the company on the back of scale-up of the new plant, while maintaining healthy profitability and debt coverage indicators is expected.
