The Biocon stock lost 11.2% on Monday as analysts were concerned about high deal valuations, an increase in Biocon''s debt burden and execution risks in a still-emerging and complex area of biosimilars.The $3.3-billion acquisition - that includes $2.3 billion cash and a 12.9% equity stake in BBL - stands at over half of the market cap of Biocon. With this deal, BBL is buying out the biosimilar portfolio of its long-time collaborator Mylan that merged with Pfizer''s Upjohn business to become Viatris. The acquisition will allow BBL to acquire regulatory, supply chain and commercialisation capabilities in the developed markets. It also gets rights to key in-licensed therapies including biosimilar Adalimumab (used to treat autoimmune conditions) and an option to acquire the Viatris''s rights for biosimilar Aflibercept (used to treat macular disorders) at a cost of $175 million. 89914048BBL has a portfolio of 20 biosimilars - out of which seven have been commercialised.For the December quarter, it earned revenues of ₹981 crore, 28% higher than a year ago, with a core operating profit (Ebitda) margin of 38%.
