Strength
In 2Q24, prescription pharma revenue grew +5.6% QoQ and +20.2% YoY, most likely driven by higher sales volumes; 2Q24 nutritional margin increased to 51.6% (1Q24: 51.2%; 2Q23: 47.8%) thanks to lower raw material prices (skim milk price fell -7% YTD); lower wages and marketing costs resulted in higher EBIT margin
Weakness
2Q24 consumer health margin declined to 59.7% (1Q24: 63.6%; 2Q23: 53.9%), which we attribute to IDR depreciation raising raw materials prices, sales down-trading and changes in top-line mix
Opportunity
Upcoming La-Nina, rainy season, and consumer tendency to self-medicate due to weak purchasing power may help boost sales of OTC and healthcare products; potential earnings upgrade and market underperformance provide buying opportunities
Threat
Challenging economic conditions may dampen consumer purchasing power and limit price increases while IDR weakness may further apply pressure on GPM
