Syngene International Ltd. (SYNGENE).

Established in 1994 as India’s first Contract Research Organization, Syngene today has evolved as an integrated end –to-end

discovery & development service provider for novel molecular entities (NMEs) across the range of industrial sectors. It

amalgamated Clinigene International Limited (subsidiary), which provides clinical research and clinical trial services, into Syngene

The company enjoys multiyear, multi disciplinary partnership with some of the most respected research focused companies like

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Abbott laboratories (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. and Baxter International Inc., among others.

The company has also entered into 3 long-term contracts with two existing clients for commercial manufacturing of their novel

small molecules and also extended long term, dedicated centre contract with Bristol Myers Squibb till 2020

Syngene has world-class R&D and manufacturing infrastructure spread over 900,000 sq.ft. It has also initiated operations at new

state of the art Stability Centre and completed expansion of Manufacturing facilities in Bengaluru, India. This manufacturing

facilities are audited successfully by US FDA, EMA, AAALAC and major life sciences partners. Recently, company has successfully

cleared 2 US FDA audit of facilities with no 483s or observations in the last 6 months.

Additionally, Syngene has set an investment target of US$ 200mn over FY16 to FY18 for (1) Brownfield expansion in its small

molecule manufacturing facility, (2) setting up a new biologic manufacturing facility, (3) expanding its research laboratory in

Bengaluru and for a Greenfield manufacturing unit in the Mangalore SEZ that would be ready in three years.

On financial front, the company has shown exponential growth on all fronts. We believe revenues for Syngene to grow at a CAGR

of 45% between FY15 and FY18 and post healthy EBITDA as well as net profit margins. The scrip trades at P/E of 20.2x FY18E EPS

and we believe the valuations are justifiable based on no listed peer and superior financials. We are initiating our coverage on

Syngene International ltd. with “BUY” recommendation and target price of `468 per share.

Global Pharma R&D Trends…..

Large and growing addressable market

Pharmaceutical companies have been facing stiff issues relating to

patent cliff and rising R&D costs. There is a large opportunity awaiting

the global CRO and CRAMS sectors. Leading consulting firm Frost &

Sullivan estimates that global R&D expenditure for the pharmaceutical

industry in 2014 was approximately US$139 billion, of which US$105

billion could have potentially been outsourced, thus, indicating the

huge growth potential in the niche segment. This is expected to

increase from $139bn in 2014 to $152bn in 2018 (CAGR of 2.3%)

The outsourcing of CRO discovery services in 2013 was estimated at

52% of the global pharmaceutical and biotech industry; this is poised

to grow to 65.7% in 2015. This outsourcing is estimated to grow from

US$14.7 billion in 2014 to US$22.7 billion in 2018.

The outsourcing of CRO development services in 2014 was estimated

at 27.3% of the potential outsourcing market for development

services; this is likely to grow to 38.7% in 2019. This outsourcing is

estimated to grow from US$28.8 billion in 2014 to an estimated

US$44.6 billion in 2018
