August 14, 2015 ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Result Update Margin improvement; work in progress… Revenues increased 20% YoY to | 1265 crore (I-direct estimate of | 1316 crore) on the back of 34.7% YoY increase in pharmacy business to | 520.1 crore (I-direct estimate: | 550.7 crore). The healthcare business grew 11.6% to | 745 crore (I-direct estimate: | 765.6 crore) to | 745 crore EBITDA margins declined only 52 bps to 14.3% (I-direct estimate: 14.2%) on account of lower-than-expected other expenditure. EBITDA increased 15.8% YoY to | 181.1 crore Net profit rose 9.8% to | 90.8 crore (I-direct estimates: | 98.6 crore) Healthcare business growth to piggyback on sustained expansion The healthcare services segment (54% of consolidated revenues) has grown at a CAGR of ~16% in FY10-15 on account of incremental hospital addition in all three clusters i.e. Chennai, Hyderabad and others. Rapid expansion and maturity of older hospitals have kept the overall growth tempo over and above 15% per annum. The next phase of expansion includes addition of 1350 beds to the existing network of 40 hospitals and 7123 beds (own hospitals) by FY19 with an additional capex of | 1477 crore. This is likely to put some pressure on EBITDA margins in the short to medium term. However, in the past, the company has demonstrated its ability to balance between expansion and margins. By acquiring Nova speciality and Assam Hospitals, the company has also opted for the inorganic route for expansion. We expect more focus in improvement of important parameters such as average length of stay (ALOS) and average revenue per operating bed (AROPB) that have been flat in the last few quarters on account of incremental bed additions. We expect healthcare sales to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% in FY15-17E to | 4007.7 crore as the company keeps on investing in new assets. Pharmacy business EBITDA positive; candidate for value unlocking The pharmacy business (34% of consolidated revenues) has grown at a CAGR of ~30% over the last five years on the back of consistent addition of new pharmacies and timely closure of non-performing pharmacies. This business has become EBITDA positive as old stores are maturing and making a contribution. We expect the pharmacy business to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% in FY15-17E to | 2605 crore on the back of higher sales from existing stores. The company has added 45 stores in Q1FY16 along with consolidation of 304 Hetero stores taking total stores to 2171. In the last three years, we have seen a strong improvement in revenues per store from | 15 lakh in FY11 to | 27 lakh in FY15. The Hetero acquisition may put some pressure on margins initially but augurs well in the long run for scalability. Profitability of new hospitals key for overall margin improvement We expect consolidated sales, EBITDA and PAT to grow at a CAGR of 12.4%, 17% and 20%, respectively, in FY15-17E. The newly commissioned hospitals have achieved the break even (BE) level fairly ahead of our expectations. The focus will now shift to operational gauges for different cluster hospitals as the current phase of capex cycle nears the end. The Nova and Assam acquisition have demonstrated Apollo’s willingness to opt for the inorganic route for expansion through localised targets with good capability. On the other hand, pharmacy margins that showed an improvement recently may take a hit in the medium term on the back of the Hetero stores acquisition.

Company Analysis Established in 1983, the company is one of the few listed players in the healthcare space. It derives revenues from two broader segments in standalone accounts - 1) Healthcare services i.e. hospitals & 2) standalone pharmacies. In consolidated accounts, other reporting segments are – 1) hospital revenues from JVs/subsidiaries & associates, 2) Apollo-Munich Health insurance JV, 3) ApolloHealth & Lifestyle Ltd, which is the retail healthcare business of Apollo Hospitals. Apollo owns 64 hospitals with a total bed capacity of 8985 beds. Of these 64 hospitals, 40 are owned by the company (including JVs, subsidiaries and associates) while eight are managed by the company with 1434 beds and 16 are day care/short surgical stay centres and cradles with 428 beds. This business has been categorised as the healthcare business and comprises ~61% of standalone revenues. In case of managed hospitals, the company charges 5-6% management fees to third-party hospitals for project management and consultancy covering all facets of development and operation of a hospital, including market research, technical design, arranging finance, hiring manpower and running the facility. The healthcare segment has been divided into three clusters- 1) Chennai, 2) Hyderabad and 3) others, which includes hospitals in Madurai, Karur, Karaikudi, Trichy, Mysore, Vizag, Pune, Karimnagar, Bilaspur, Bhubaneswar and Jayanagar. In case of standalone pharmacies, that are basically drug stores chain selling prescription, OTC and private label FMCG products, the company owns 2171 stores. Overall, we expect revenues to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% in FY15-17E to | 7346.3 crore. Exhibit 1: Revenues to grow at CAGR of 12.4% in FY15-17E

Revenues

Source: Company, ICICIdirect.com Research

The healthcare services segment (54% of consolidated revenues) has grown at ~16% CAGR in FY10-15 on account of incremental hospital addition in all three clusters i.e. Chennai, Hyderabad and others. Rapid expansion and maturity of older hospitals have kept overall growth tempo over and above 15% per annum. The next phase of expansion includes addition of 1350 beds to the existing network of 40 hospitals and 7123 beds (own hospitals) by FY19 with an additional capex of | 1477 crore.

This is likely to put some pressure on EBITDA margins in the short to medium term. However, in the past, the company has demonstrated its ability to balance between expansion and margins. By acquiring Nova Speciality and Assam Hospitals, the company has also opted for the inorganic route for expansion. We expect more focus in improvement of important parameters such as average length of stay (ALOS) and average revenue per operating bed (AROPB), which were flat in the last few quarters on account of incremental bed additions. We expect healthcare sales to grow at 12.4% CAGR in FY15-17E to | 4007.7 crore as the company keeps on investing in new assets. Exhibit 2: Healthcare services to grow at CAGR of 12.4% in FY15-17E

The pharmacy business (34% of consolidated revenues) has grown at a CAGR of ~30% in the last five years on the back of consistent addition of new pharmacies and timely closure of non-performing pharmacies. This business has become EBITDA positive as more and more old stores are maturing and making contribution. We expect the pharmacy business to grow at a CAGR of 13.7% in FY15-17E to | 2604.9 crore on the back of higher sales from existing stores. The company has added 45 stores along with consolidation of 304 Hetero stores in Q1FY16 taking total stores to 2171. In the last three years, we have seen a strong improvement in revenue per store from | 15 lakh in FY11 to | 27 lakh in FY15. The pharmacy business is also a candidate for possible value unlocking.

SWOT Analysis Strengths - Early mover in healthcare space. Strong balance sheet despite being in a business of higher gestation period. Strong brand value, a significant aspect in this business Weakness- Presence in low margin pharmacy space Opportunities - Under-penetrated Indian healthcare space with favourable demographics and disease pattern Threats - Too much capacity build-up may lead to lower capacity utilisation and cost associated with it

Conference call highlights

• The company plans to add 800 new beds in Navi Mumbai, Malleshwaram and Vizag by the end of FY16

• Net pharmacy store addition in Q1FY16 was 45 stores with integration of 304 Hetero stores taking total stores to 2171

• Apollo expects Hetero stores to be profitable by end of FY16 • It plans to add 875 beds by FY16 – North Bangalore 180, Chennai

Main 30, Navi Mumbai 350, Indore 65 and Vizag 250. Out of total bed addition in FY16, ~780 are expected to be added from its three new hospitals in Navi Mumbai, Malleshwaram and Vizag

• In FY17, facilities in Navi Mumbai and Bangalore are expected to get commissioned with 885 beds

• It plans to add another 475 beds in FY19 - South Chennai 175, South Mumbai 300

• Estimated capex for this expansion is ~| 1,477 crore, of which it has already spent | 640 crore. The remaining balance amount may be funded through a mix of internal accruals and proposed rights Issue. Majority of the capex would be done in FY16

• Two hospitals at Vanagaram and Jayanagar (added in the last 24 months) have more than 50% occupancies. Hospitals at Trichi, Nashik and Nellore are expected to reach 40-50% occupancy by end of FY16

• The acquired hospital in Guwahati is generating revenues of | 80-100 crore and is profitable. The company plans to increase the capacity from 200 beds to 300 beds in the next three to four years

• The company expects 25% EBITDA margins from the healthcare segment while pharmacy margins are expected to improve to 6% in the next two to three years

• The company expects a spike in expenditure on account of higher advertising and marketing costs from Q2FY16

• Apollo plans to enhance Hyderabad occupancy levels to 65-70% from 60% over the next few quarters

Valuation We expect consolidated sales, EBITDA and PAT to grow at a CAGR of 12.4%, 17% and 20%, respectively, in FY15-17E. The newly commissioned hospitals have achieved the break even (BE) level fairly ahead of our expectations. The focus will now shift to operational gauges for different cluster hospitals as the current phase of capex cycle nears its end. The Nova and Assam acquisition have demonstrated Apollo’s willingness to opt for the inorganic route for expansion through localised targets with good capability. On the other hand, pharmacy margins that showed an improvement recently may take some hit in the medium-term on the back of Hetero stores acquisition. Our revised target price stands at | 1400 as per SOTP valuation. Exhibit 12: One year forward EV/EBITDA
