During 2005-06, the Company made a strategic entry with its generic formulations in the premium markets of USA & Europe, participated in the PEPFAR program initiated by the Government of USA and consolidated its strengths in the less regulated and emerging markets.

Revenues for the year at Rs.14722.0 million were higher by 27% and the consolidated net income was Rs.693.8 million, an increase of 98%. Subject effectively faced the challenges of entering into severely competitive markets, prevailing high raw material costs and pressure on product prices.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

Subject is a fast track integrated pharmaceutical company headquartered in Hyderabad, India, developing, manufacturing and marketing Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (bulk actives), intermediates and generic formulations.

Today the Company's products are serving consumers in India and over 100 other countries, including the premium markets of US & Europe.

The Company seeks to establish a strong presence for its generic formulation products in the regulated markets.

 

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

 

The global pharmaceutical industry is growing at 10% per annum and is estimated to be valued at US$ 518 billion of which North America and Europe account for 48% and 28% respectively. The highly regulated US market includes drugs which are under patent and those that have gone off patent, and is valued at around US$ 248 billion.

 

The regulated markets protect intellectual property rights, including product patent protection. These are also markets which have stringent quality standards, and stipulate regulatory inspection of manufacturing

facilities and approval of products marketed. Rising healthcare costs have led to many governments enforcing stricter cost containment measures. The effect of this is a growing market for generic pharmaceutical products. The generics market is notching percentage growth higher than the industry growth.

 

Under the new patent regime, the innovator (patent holder) of the drug retains the product patent for a fixed period of twenty years.

 

Generic manufacturers are permitted to compete with the innovator after patent expiry.

 

The world's leading drugs are facing patent expiry in the near future. In the United States alone, close to $50 billion worth of branded revenue will be made available to generic competition.

 

This is the right time for a research led company such as Subject with quality products, regulatory approvals and a competitive approach to gain significant market share; in the process creating a name for itself. The Company recognizes this opportunity and has positioned itself to enter regulated pharmaceutical markets.

 

The Company has initiated and completed quality and capacity upgrades and is ready to make the shift. Subject today is a manufacturer of antiinfectives, intermediates and active ingredients for anti-infectives with leadership positions in India and a significant presence in emerging global markets. These markets are growing fast and offer steady profitability.

 

The Company has an established reputation as a supplier in domestic as well as other emerging markets. This position shall be maintained and expanded upon. The Company plans to leverage this strength to open new markets for its products.

 

In the past two years, concerted efforts have been made successfully, to gain a toe-hold in the developed markets such as US & Europe.

 

Subject will pursue to gain a significant presence in such generic markets.
