United Laboratories International Holdings Limited [Stock Code: 3933]

(聯邦制藥國際控股有限公司)

 Strengths/Opportunities

United Laboratories has vertically integrated production operation that supplies the intermediate

products required for its mid-stream production of bulk medicine. This should allow the company to enjoy the benefits of lower production costs and better quality control. 

United Laboratories did not give profit forecast for FY07. Based on the offer price range and FY06

EPS, the historic PER is 11.84X – 14.47X. Several close peers engaged in similar business (bulk

medicine and intermediate products) include China Pharmaceutical (1093), Lijun International

Pharmaceutical (2005), Dawnray Pharmaceutical (2348) and Wuyi Pharmaceutical (1889). The

average FY06 PER is 23X but at a wide range from 9X to over 50X. China Pharmaceutical is the most direct comparable in terms of product mix, but it trails United Laboratories in profit margins. In all, the valuation of United Laboratories is attractive.

 Weaknesses/Threats

× Pricing of products: The Government has imposed price control on all medicine listed in the

Insurance Catalogue by fixing a retail ceiling price for each product. The price control has been on a wide range of pharmaceutical products, with antibiotics finished products being one of the key targets.

 

The intention is to reduce irregularities in pricing medicinal products in China and to make health

expenses more affordable to the public. There have been over 20 price adjustments for various

categories of drugs since 1998.

 

During the Track Record Period, the PRC Government reduced the prescribed retail ceiling prices of a wide range of products that were subject to government-mandated price controls on three occasions. Sales of United Laboratories’ finished products whose retail ceiling prices were reduced accounted for approximately 24.8%, 2.1% and 12.3% of the total turnover in the 3 years ended 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Any further reduction in the price ceilings would pose high risk in increasing the volatility in revenue of United Laboratories.

 

Generic antibiotics products are generally less-differentiated homogenous products. Price sensitivity of consumers in the PRC is general high. If the products are not included in the Insurance Catalogue, consumers may not be able to get reimbursement. The company’s turnover and financial performance may be adversely affected if the existing or new products are not included in the Insurance Catalogue
