Centrum Broking Report

FDC Ltd.’s Q1 FY22 numbers were well ahead of our estimates, with strong recovery in domestic acute market benefiting FDC.

Domestic revenue grew 61% YoY, driven by strong recovery in Zifi, Electral and Enerzal.

Export formulations declined 28% YoY and 25% QoQ to Rs 431 million (10% of sales).

Weakness in exports business was driven by U.S. sales being impacted by competition.

Gross margins were lower amid lower profit share from the U.S.

Meanwhile, Ebitda margins sustained at 26%, despite higher staff costs and other expenses sequentially due to improving domestic on-ground activities, driven by strong domestic margins.

We expect the domestic recovery to remain strong on a weak base while we watch closely the U.S. revenue impact from higher competition.
