Florian Schuhbauer presented his in-depth investment thesis on STADA Arzneimittel (Germany: SAZ) at European Investing Summit 2016.
STADA Arzneimittel is the last major independent generics producer in Western Europe with a growing and highly profitable OTC business. Stada enjoys top three market positions in nearly all countries in which it is present. Over the last ten years, Stada substantially underperformed its peers in all major KPIs and was a prime example of bad corporate governance. With the recent change in governance and the election of a new supervisory board, the retirement of the CEO, and the commitment to upgrade the management team, the company is now in a position to substantially improve its business, earnings, and cash flows. Within three years, the company should increase EBITDA by >50% and operating FCF by >100%.
