    Investment Rationale
    Alkem Laboratories’ (Alkem) Q4FY22 performance was lower than estimates on the profitability front mainly due to cost inflation. Revenues were in line with estimates and grew 13.3% YoY to Rs24.8bn (I-Sec: Rs24.3bn) driven by robust domestic growth. It believes the domestic business will continue to be key value driver for Alkem. EBITDA margin contracted 330/540bps YoY/QoQ to 13.6% (I-Sec: 18.0%). Lower EBITDA and prior-period tax expenses (of Rs910mn) pushed adj. PAT to Rs1.1bn (-64% YoY). US revenues declined 5.4% QoQ due to continued pricing pressures. It remains positive on the long-term outlook given sustainable growth in the domestic market with consistent outperformance, scale-up in US generic business, and potential for operating leverage, although near-term margins are likely to remain under pressure due to cost inflation. It reiterates BUY with a revised target price of Rs3,916/share.
