Errata:  IPO Note - Thyrocare Technologies Limited (TTL) - (Long term Investors – Subscribe)





Please note that the IPO report published yesterday (Thyrocare Technologies Ltd IPO Note) had erroneously assigned a P/E of 20x (within the outlook and valuations section of the report) to Thyrocare Technologies Lt (TTL), whereas the value was derived using a P/E multiple of 30x. Also note that the P/E multiple of 30x represents a nearly 37% discount to the only listed peer available (i.e. Dr Lal Path Labs). Rest of the investment arguments remain unchanged.



Apologies for the error.

TTL’s sales have grown at a CAGR of ~24% to over the past five years.

Given a) strong management background, b) established brand and c) strong growth statistics, we value TTL at `486 per share (i.e. ~20x its FY18E profits based on our estimated sales growth of 24% CAGR between FY16 – FY18, and normalized net profit margins of 25%) and recommend “Subscribe” on TTL IPO for both long term and near term investors as it is one of its kind companies in this space, with this kind of a business model.



Key Risks



TTL operates in industry which is highly competitive and fragmented: Due to low entry barrier, the diagnostic industry in India is

highly competitive as the company has to compete with organized as well as unorganized players. At the same time, company also

faces competition from their franchises as they may decide to start their own laboratories.

 Negative Publicity of Brand may harm the business and also the survival: Brand is among the most valuable asset to the

company. Any negative publicity may harm the Brand of the company which it turns may affect the operations and business of the

company adversely. This may also challenge the survival of the company. At the same time company may not be able to control all

the factors as some are beyond its control.

 Delay in transportation or logistics could disrupt the Hub n Spoke model of the company: Since the company operates through

one central processing lab and five regional processing labs, timely delivery and logistical efficiency is critical is maintaining its quality

and promptness of service (the entire hub and spoke model is dependent on the efficiency of the logistics). Any disruption in that

poses business risk to the company.

 High dependency on the franchises: Company operates in franchise based revenue model. It becomes important for the company

to attract new franchises and retain the existing ones to maintain and grow the test volumes. At the same time it has to ensure the

efficiency with which the franchises work (as to how they collect samples).
