Edding Group, a leading integrated pharmaceutical company in China, plans to raise up to USD 200m via a Hong Kong listing.The company is turning from a distributor of NMC drugs to a pharmaceutical company by acquiring product rights in the past two years. We are of the view that the Vancocin and Ceclor are the selling point of the company as they both have a dominant position in the respective segment and are in growing markets. The company's Vascepa is an interesting CVD product but the competition is intense given that the statin is the main therapy to reduce CV risks and it has many varieties with a competitive market. However, we do not see Mulpleta and EPD 125 attractive. Sales of Mulpleta are very small in Japan and the EDP125 was suspended by Eli Lilly previously given that it failed to demonstrate superiority in Phase II/III clinical trials. We think the management does not possess impressive working experience, though investor backing is strong.
