Dermapharm: Growing, Family-Owned Non-Prescription Pharma Company

Sebastien Lemonnier of INOCAP Gestion presented his in-depth investment thesis on Dermapharm (Germany: DMP) at European Investing Summit 2018.

Thesis Summary:

Dermapharm is a family-owned leading specialty pharma player in Germany. It focuses on branded products, offering a mix of originator and patent-free medicals in growing niche markets with low competition and high margins. Run by a strong management team for the past two decades, the high-single-digit expansion strategy is driven by a rich in-house development pipeline of new products, along with a proven “buy and build” track record and international expansion of its OTC hyperthermia medical device business. Combined with operational excellence and margin improvement, top-line growth should result in disproportionate operating profit growth, improving EBIT margin to more than 20%. Publicly traded since February 2018, Dermapharm remains a neglected stock while providing high-quality fundamentals, including strong results in the past two quarters. Management recently confirmed guidance for top-line growth of 20-25+% and EBITDA of 22-27+%. The shares recently traded at ~13x 2019E EBIT.
