LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Financial Performance and Operations Review 


 
The Company had another successful financial year with a net total income of Rs.7533 millions as against Rs. 6854.5 millions in the previous year, a growth of 10%. 


 
The Company's focus on formulations business resulted into increase in overall formulation sales to Rs. 5012.9 millions, an increase of 12% over previous year formulations sales of Rs. 4475.9 millions. This increase in formulation sales is inspite of substantial decline in generic formulation exports to United Kingdom. 
 
The overall increase in the formulation sales is mainly on account of increased sales in branded promotional markets of India, Russia and Ukraine. 


 
The company further expanded its therapeutic coverage with introduction of new formulations, both in the domestic and export markets, especially in the fast growing life style related segments. 


 
The operations have resulted in a net profit of Rs. 639.800 millions during the financial year under report as against a net profit of Rs.807.1 millions in the previous financial year. 

 

International business 


 
The products of the Company are now exported to over 100 countries across the globe. During the financial year under report, the international business declined to Rs. 4018.300 millions as against Rs.4105.8 millions in the previous year. Formulation exports of the Company declined by 11% to Rs. 2099.8 millions and exports of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and Intermediates increased by 10% to Rs.1918.5 millions.

 

Europe 
 
The Company achieved European export sales of Rs. 1744 millions during the financial year under report as against a sales of Rs. 2206.5 millions in the previous year. 


 
The decline in export sales to Europe is mainly on account of reduced generic formulations sales to United Kingdom (U.K.) due to fierce competition. 

 
The Company has developed 36 generic formulation dossiers for registration in UK out of which 12 dossiers are already registered. 25 more generic formulations are under development at various stages for European market. 


 
The Company has also stepped up the activity of registering products in other main EU markets and business from these markets are expected to contribute to the formulations exports of the Company to Europe in the coming years.

  
 
Americas 
 
The Company mainly exports its APIs to USA, Canada and Latin American countries and formulations to Panama, Brazil and West Indies in this subcontinent. 


 
The Company achieved sales of Rs. 467.9 millions in this continent as against Rs. 521.9 millions in the previous year. 


 
The Company has finalized list of formulations for development and filing of ANDAs with US FDA. Most of the formulations selected are from own APIs for which the Company has already filed Drug Master Files (DMFs). The wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in USA is acting as a listening company, co-ordinating ANDA registrations and related activities. 


 
The Company has already signed an agreement with a marketing partner for sale of generic formulations on a profit sharing arrangement in the US market. 3 ANDA applications in respect of generic formulations developed by the Company are already filed with US FDA.
