EXPANSION PLANS :

• Lupin is investing Rs.450 cr on capacity expansion, ramping up sales
force and launching new products.
• The company has already expanded its reach from 890 medical
representatives 3 years back to 3,500 at present and is looking to
hire more employees this fiscal in India.
• It is also looking for acquisitions in the Indian market if they fit
into its overall growth strategy for the next 3 years.
• Lupin is scouting for acquisitions in Latin America, and is in talks
with at least a couple of potential candidates in Brazil and Mexico,
VinodDhawan, the company's president in charge business development.
The company hopes to achieve revenue of $150 million from Latin
America by the financial year 2012-13 , when the company is targeting
annual revenue of $3 billion, three times that of the revenue in 2010.
The company made its first step in that direction, Farmanguinhos,
Brazil's largest public sector healthcare unit, will source all its
four-in-one tuberculosis vaccine from Lupin. Analysts said the deal
may generate about $15-20 million revenue annually for Lupin. Dhawan,
who heads Asia, Africa, Mid-East, Latin America businesses for Lupin,
said the company also expects to see a major surge in revenue from
Japan.

• Lupin has got a rich pipeline for various geographies. They have
close to about 145 filing for America as of now; and there could be a
few more by the end of this fiscal .They are launching around 12 to 15
products. They also plan come up with three to four products in the
oral contraceptive range as well.
• Lupin's profit margin has gone up from 14% to 20% ie on an average
50 to 70 base points increase, owing to better realization of products
& cost reduction.
• Lupin has grown from manufacturing of medical ingredients to
manufacturing of bulk medicine. With its hold in global market, entry
in bulk pharma has high potential for growth.
• According to an article in Business Standard, the recent scenario in
Japan will prove to increase Lupin'ssubsdiary Kyowa Pharma's sales in
Japan due to rise in health problems specifically of central nervous
system & Gastro-intestinal, Kyowa being a market leader in these
segments.

Intact growth in FY 2011-12 due to 1) Visibility increases in launches
in US. 2)OCs launch from Sep 2012E.3) Minimal threat of generic
competition to Suprax. 4) Growth taking place in pharma industry
globally.

We believe the recent fall in stock is a good opportunity point as
long term drivers are intact.
We recommend 'BUY' on the stock at CMP 394 with a target price of Rs.
540.. Valuing it at 20x FY2012E earnings.
