New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 116% Dividend yield: 0.9% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Pfizer Inc. Enters into Settlement Agreements with Dexcel Pharma, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and Cipla Ltd for VYNDAMAX Pfizer Inc. announced that it has entered into settlement agreements with generic drug manufacturers Dexcel Pharma, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and Cipla Ltd, regarding lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware for infringement of patents relating to VYNDAMAX (tafamidis), a treatment for cardiomyopathy transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM). These settlements extend the effective U.S. patent expiry date for VYNDAMAX to June 1, 2031, subject to the outcome of other litigation. Pfizer had previously anticipated a significant decline in U.S. revenues for VYNDAMAX beginning in 2029 upon patent expiry. As a result of this settlement, revenues are now expected to remain relatively stable from 2028 through mid-2031. VYNDAMAX remains the market leader with 75% of prescription volume within the overall ATTR-CM market. As the only once-daily capsule approved for ATTR-CM with statistically significant reductions in both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular-related hospitalizations with a demonstrated safety profile comparable to placebo, VYNDAMAX is backed by over seven years of market leadership and data from more than 7,000 patients across clinical trials and the largest ATTR-CM registry to date. As of December 31, 2025, Pfizer discontinued the supply of VYNDAQEL in the United States with VYNDAMAX remaining available for eligible patients. The decision followed consultation with clinical experts and patient advocates who agreed that a single-capsule taken once daily enhances patient-centered care and convenience, particularly for those with concomitant conditions requiring multiple oral medications.

This follows the withdrawal of rival private equity contenders KKR TPG Capital and Apax Partners after showing initial interest. The deal is expected to value SMT at INR 35,000 million-INR 40,000 million, and binding offers are due by next week, the people said. Promoters of SMT—the Kotadia family— plan to keep a minority stake after the transaction that would see other shareholders also divest their holdings. “They could retain about 15-20% stake post the deal,” said one of the persons cited above. Morgan Stanley PE Asia (Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia, Inc.) and Samara Capital Markets Holding Limited collectively own 49% of SMT, while Kotak Pre-IPO Opportunities Fund has a 6% stake.

Torrent Pharmaceuticals Reportedly Bid to Acquire the Stake of Cipla Stalled over Valuation Differences Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (BSE:500420)'s bid to acquire the stake of the promoter, the Hamied family, in Cipla Limited (NSEI:CIPLA) has stalled over valuation differences, said people with knowledge of the matter. That has derailed plans to create one of India's biggest pharmaceutical companies, at least for now. The third generation of the Hamied family had been in discussions with their counterparts, the Sudhir and Samir Mehta family of Torrent. Negotiations have been suspended by mutual agreement and may be revived later, said the people cited. The bid-ask gap is 15-20%, which appears to stem from the surge in Cipla shares since news of a potential stake sale by the Hamieds became public. Talks may resume if both sides find a meeting ground on the valuation, especially if the stock returns to `900-1,000 levels, said the people cited above. “It's pens down at Torrent's side,” said one of them. “The control premium asked will be difficult to bridge and then get an equity upside. Once things cool off, I do believe re-engagement is possible." Technically, Cipla is free to negotiate with others, but Torrent is said to be the sole player left. The Cipla stock surge had seen rival contenders Baring PE Asia-EQT, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Blackstone baulk at rising valuations. They too might jump back into the fray if the stock price drops, said investment banking sources. Announcement • Oct 24
Torrent Pharma Calls the Reports of Cipla Acquisition as Speculative Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (BSE:500420) on October 23, 2023 called the reports about the drug maker in the race to acquire the promoters' stake in Cipla Limited (NSEI:CIPLA) as "speculative". "As a policy we don't want to comment on speculative news," said Sudhir Mehta, Chairman Emeritus of Torrent Pharma, referring to reports about the race to acquire Cipla at the company's earnings call. Mehta said the company's capital allocation will be largely geared towards India. "India is something which we understand properly, and we have a track record of successfully integrating most of the acquired businesses," Mehta said. Mehta said the leverage the company would take will depend on the cash flows of acquired business. In the past during the Unichem acquisition Torrent took 3x of net debt to EBITDA, which came down substantially over the period of two years. "Starting at 3x is something which would be comforting, provided that over the next two years the leverage is coming down substantially to maybe 1.5-2x," Mehta said. Announcement • Oct 11
Family Rift Clouds $7 Billion Sale of Cipla Differences within the Hamied family, Cipla Limited's (NSEI:CIPLA) promoters, over the pricing of the deal and the decision of patriarch Yusuf K. Hamied to sell the drugmaker threaten to derail the $7 billion sale plan, according to five people aware of the discussions. Any sale may take longer than anticipated since a consensus is yet to emerge within the Hamied family, the people said on condition of anonymity. Some family members have questioned the deal's pricing of around INR 1,200 per share and the family's decision to exit the eight-decade-old business. "The third-generation of the Cipla promoter group family is not keen to exit at this stage unless a substantial premium is offered to their shareholding," said the second person. According to the first person, Sophie Ahmed (Yusuf Hamied's sister) and Samina Hamied (Yusuf's younger brother M.K. Hamied's daughter), who together own 7.93% of Cipla, are not in favour of the deal. Samina Hamied declined to comment on the matter. Emails sent to Hamied family members remained unanswered. According to several news reports, Gujarat-based Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (BSE:500420) has evinced interest in buying the promoter stake and taking over Cipla, valuing the company at over INR 1 trillion.

Cipla's Founding Family's Stake Sale Reportedly in Jeopardy over $13 Billion Valuation Target The sale of a stake in Cipla Limited (NSEI:CIPLA) is in jeopardy as potential buyers have balked at the INR 1.09 trillion ($13.1 billion) valuation members of the founding family are targeting for the Indian firm in a deal, according to people familiar with the matter. Negotiations between the family members and prospective buyers, including companies in the industry and private equity firms, are no longer moving forward, as the founders are demanding about INR 1,350 per share, the people said. The price represents a premium of about 10% over September 13, 2023’s close, according to Bloomberg calculations. The family shareholder group, known in India as the promoter group, controls around 33% of Cipla's shares, which are worth nearly $4 billion at September 13, 2023’s closing price. Cipla shares have climbed about 16% since CNBC-TV18 reported on July 27 the Hamied family was likely to sell part of their stake. The family members could sell some or all of their respective stakes in Cipla, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information isn't public. Deliberations are ongoing and no final decision has been made on the deal, the people said. The family members can still revise the asking price lower or decide not to proceed with the sale, according to the people. A spokesperson for the firm didn't respond to requests for comment.

Bain Capital Reportedly Approaches Dr. Reddy's Laboratories to Explore Joint Bid to Buy Out the Promoters of Cipla Bain Capital, LP has approached Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited (BSE:500124) (DRL) to explore a joint bid to buy out the promoters of Cipla Limited (NSEI:CIPLA), the Hamied family. Last week, senior leadership from both sides met along with their advisors to discuss and formalise a strategy, said people aware of the development. DRL is believed to be evaluating the opportunity and countering the offer by Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (BSE:500420), currently the sole Indian strategic investor in the fray. Torrent has submitted a non-binding bid for the Hamieds' stake in the 88-year-old company, competing against PE firms Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX) and Baring Private Equity Asia-EQT (BPEA-EQT). Bain Capital is also one of the PE funds that Torrent has been in discussions with to raise as much as INR 83 billion ($1 billion) as part of its financing plan for a potential $7 billion plus buyout, the largest ever in India, ET reported September 1. If DRL decides to participate, then not only will it enhance the competitive bidding landscape for Cipla but a merged entity would become the number two Indian-origin pharma major at home by revenue, with a consolidated market share of 8% (based on June 2023 IPM data) and also in the US and emerging markets.

Torrent Reportedly in Top Gear to Close Out Cipla Buyout, in Talks with PES, Banks for Funds Torrent Pharmaceuticals Limited (BSE:500420) is cranking up its efforts to put together financing to buy out the promoter family of Cipla Limited (NSEI:CIPLA), said several people with knowledge of the matter, emerging as a key contender to conclude the largest pharma sector acquisition in the country till date. This includes a likely INR 83,000 million ($1 billion) equity infusion from one or more private equity players, they said. Ahmedabad-based Torrent has reached out to several PE funds, including including Advent International Corporation, Bain Capital, LP, Warburg Pincus LLC and CVC Capital Partners Limited, for a minority stake in a consortium. In addition, it is in talks with domestic shadow banks and mutual funds for INR 90,000-100,000 Million ($1.1 billion) in share-backed promoter financing. Torrent's founders, the Sudhir and Samir Mehta family, own 71.25% as promoters. That's amongst the highest promoter ownership in Indian pharma and they are seeking to use that headroom to dilute equity to raise leverage. They are also in separate discussions with foreign banks - Standard Chartered, JP Morgan, MUFG, Citi and Barclays among others - to raise as much INR 320,000-350,000 million (up to $4.23 billion) against the cashflows of the target as acquisition financing. The lenders are expected to revert with funding commitment letters at the earliest, said the sources mentioned above. JP Morgan is also advising Torrent Pharma. Bain, Advent, Warburg and CVC declined to comment. The financing terms are still being worked on and may change in the coming days. The PE discussions too are at an early stage and may get adversely impacted if Cipla's valuation keeps going up. Torrent is currently aiming at submitting a binding offer in early October.

The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority Approves Sweet-Tasting, Heat-Stable, 4-In-1 Fixed-Dose Combination of Four Antiretroviral Treatments Developed by Cipla and DNDi The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) has approved a sweet-tasting, heat-stable, `4-in-1' fixed-dose combination of four antiretroviral (ARV) treatments composed of abacavir, lamivudine, lopinavir, and ritonavir that is specifically designed for infants and young children with HIV. This combination treatment has been developed by Cipla Limited and the not-for-profit Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi). This new formulation represents a significant improvement over protease inhibitor-containing paediatric ARV formulations that have been used in South Africa for decades. It does not require refrigeration, has a sweet taste and is easy to administer to infants and children of different weights and ages, a major improvement for both children and their caregivers over previously available formulations. The country has 238,000 children under the age of 15 living with HIV - the high in the world. The `4-in-1' combination contains an antiretroviral combination that is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an alternative first-line regimen for infants and young children with HIV - in the form of granule-filled capsules. Caretakers will be able to give the medicine to children by sprinkling the granules over soft food like porridge or dissolving it in water or milk. Until recently, the only WHO-recommended lopinavir-based treatment available for babies and very young children in South Africa consisted of a syrup that contained 40% alcohol and required refrigeration. Caregivers struggled to give this bitter-tasting formulation to young children, leading to poor adherence. Caregivers without refrigeration had a very difficult time storing the formulations - sometimes burying them in the ground to keep them cold. Now, there are multiple new child-friendly formulations of WHO-recommended regimens being introduced - including paediatric formulations of dolutegravir-containing regimens - representing a long-awaited and long overdue `treatment revolution' for children with HIV. Without treatment, half of children with HIV will die before turning two. Worldwide, 2.78 million children and adolescents are living with HIV - 88% of them in sub-Saharan Africa - but only 54% have access to treatment, according to UNICEF. The 4-in-1 was developed and registered with the financial support of Unitaid; the French Development Agency; the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation; Médecins Sans Frontières International; the UBS Optimus Foundation; the Monegasque Cooperation for Development; MSF Norway; the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation; and other private foundations and individuals.
