The export of vaccines increased by over 400% to Rs.1352.2 millions as compared to Rs.267.300 millions during fiscal 2006. 

 
The growth in the turnover of vaccine segment is contributed by the vaccines supplied to UNICEF as well as growth in supplies to the domestic private vaccine market through the joint venture company, Chiron Panacea Vaccines Private Limited, which has already garnered around 35% market share in the domestic market by aggressive brand building. 

 
During the year under review, the Company made supplies of Oral Polio Vaccines to various countries including Abidjan, Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Chad, Congo, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan, Turkey and Uganda through UNICEF against their global tenders and achieved a turnover of Rs.1352.2 millions by export of vaccines to these markets. 

 
The Company has also started supplying Hepatitis B Vaccines to UNICEF against their global tenders, during the current year. 


Pharmaceutical formulations: 

The pharmaceutical formulations segment's turnover grew by 25% and contributed Rs.1762.9 millions or 21% of gross turnover, as compared to Rs.1405.0 millions or 26%, of the gross turnover for fiscal 2006.

 
In the Pharmaceutical Formulations segment the domestic net turnover increased by 27% to Rs.1422.3 millions from Rs.1123.1 millions during fiscal 2006. The export turnover of formulations increased significantly by 56% at Rs.258.3 millions (including deemed exports of Rs.1.8 millions) during fiscal 2007 from Rs.165.7 millions (including deemed exports of Rs. nil) during fiscal 2006. 

 

Cash Flow from Operating Activities:

The liquidity position of the Company has improved significantly with Operating Cash Profit increasing by over 68% during fiscal 2007 to Rs.2324.8 millions as compared to Rs.1385.5 millions during fiscal 2006.

 

However the net cash from operating activities declined by 4% during fiscal 2007 primarily due to higher tax outflows and increase in the working capital.

  
Cash Flow from Investment Activities:

Net cash used in investment activities amounting to Rs.1730.2 millions was primarily used for acquiring fixed assets for various ongoing expansion projects including new manufacturing facility at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, expenditure on modernization of vaccine plant at New Delhi and R and D centers in New Delhi, Mohali and Lalru in Punjab and Navi Mumbai. 

 
Cash Flow from Financing Activities:

The Company has utilized Rs.2361.9 millions for financing activities as it repaid the Preference Share Capital of Rs.904.3 millions and other term loans and working capital loans and invested Rs.168.1 millions in the shares of Cambridge Biostability Limited during the year under review. 

 
Opportunities and Outlook: The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry's greatest strengths are its strong scientific talent pool and low cost manufacturing base. While the Indian companies initially started as a contract manufacturing partner to multi-national pharmaceutical companies, they have now moved up the value chain and are providing high quality research and development, clinical, analytical and niche manufacturing capabilities. With the high cost involved in the discovery and development of a new molecule, India offers a very high competitive advantage in terms of reducing the cost of this development. 

 
Since the mid-1990s, leading Indian companies actively started research activities, both in New Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS) and New Chemical Entities (NCEs), to respond to the impending change in the patent regime.

 

This brought to fore India's inherent advantages in basic research as well as in clinical development of products. These advantages are based on a large pool of trained chemists and biologists available at lower costs as compared to developed economies, a large English-speaking workforce, and a large population of treatment-native patients in most disease areas. Indian companies have followed a partnering strategy with global pharmaceutical companies - usually licensing out NCEs and NDDS for clinical development and commercialization. With the increasing economic prosperity of the country, a number of Indian Pharmaceutical companies have now started acquiring a global scale and are competing with large pharmaceutical companies in their market. With their increasing size and ambitions, the Indian pharmaceutical companies are making cross border acquisitions, where they supplement the existing product portfolio and scientific / distribution capabilities of the target with the ability to add to their product pipeline and transfer manufacturing to more cost competitive plants in India. India also offers a compelling opportunity in R and D sourcing for global pharmaceutical majors. The global Companies can develop a comprehensive strategy to access innovations from the Indian pharmaceutical research to supplement their global R and D efforts. Momentum is growing in the measures of global competitiveness and profitability. The Company is optimistic about its growth prospects in the future. The Company expects to continue increasing its market share in the existing markets by increasing its portfolio through new product launches and expanding its geographical coverage in each region by getting necessary regulatory approvals in more countries. 

 
In line with its stated mission and vision, the company will continue to pursue all the options to achieve faster growth and create value for the shareholders with focused efforts in business development, mutually rewarding partnerships and launch of new products both in vaccines and pharmaceutical formulation segments. Further, the Company has committed significant investments in the infrastructure and facilities for both the segments to support potential revenue scale-ups in the near future. 

All the building blocks for growth are in place and therefore, the outlook for the coming years is encouraging. And the Company looks forward to continuing a healthy financial performance in the future. 

 

Future Growth Drivers: 

Panacea Biotec's goal is to become a leading global research based health management company with an established leadership in niche therapeutic areas and with a strong focus on R and D. The Company intends to accomplish its goal by:

Joint Ventures and Subsidiaries:

The Company's Joint Venture Company ("JV Company"), Panheber Biotec Private Limited ("Panheber"), in joint venture with M/s. Heber Biotec S.A., Cuba, an arm of the world renowned bio-technology research facility, Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIGB), is meeting requirement of Recombinant Hepatitis B Bulk Vaccine and Antigen for the manufacture of Hepatitis B and combination vaccines by the Company. WHO pre-qualification for the Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccine has been received during the year under review. The Company has started supplying Hepatitis B Vaccines to UNICEF for its global requirements. The process for WHO pre-qualification for Combination Vaccines is at an advanced stage of approval and the approval is expected during the current financial year. Due to strategic reasons, Heber Biotec has offered to sell its stake in Panheber and the Company is actively evaluating the offer. 

 
The Company's another JV Company, viz. Chiron Panacea Vaccines Private Limited ("Chiron Panacea"), in joint venture with world's 5th largest Vaccine group, viz. Chiron Corporation (now Novartis Vaccines), which began its operations in Jan'05 by way of marketing and distribution of Combination and other Vaccines in India, has made available innovative pediatric vaccines to reduce the burden of various diseases in the country. Chiron Panacea achieved a turnover of Rs.422.4 millions (up by 100%) and net profit of Rs.61.83 millions (an increase of more than 6 times) during the year under review. Chiron Panacea now commands around 35% market share in the paediatric combination vaccines segment in India. 

 
During the year under review, the Company entered into a joint venture and made investment of Rs.168.07 millions (Pound 1.94 millions) for acquiring 10% of the share capital in Cambridge Biostability Limited (CBL), a U.K. based Company. The Company has an Management Discussion and Analysis: 


Industry Structure and Developments: Vaccines have been in use for over two centuries and have been considered for a long time as a commodity product. Nevertheless, the vaccine sector is undergoing a period of growth due to the introduction of improved vaccines, new delivery technologies and increased focus on segments such as pediatric specialty and influenza, and emerging sectors utilizing vaccines to fight bio-terrorism. In addition, changing population demographics, competition and new technologies are further transforming this area with new avenues introduction of different products. The supra-national agencies like UNICEF, GAVI have played a pivotal role in emergence of the vaccine market in the last decade by providing funding support and vaccines to many developing and third world countries for different diseases. 

 

Vaccine Industry is highly technology and R and D driven industry, which requires high capital investments for creating infrastructure as well as developing newer vaccines. The gestation period in vaccine industry is longer, typically 3-5 years for existing known vaccines. These characteristics play as entry barriers to vaccine industry for new players. 

 
The vaccine market is now shifting towards combination vaccines as against traditional single vaccines as multiple diseases can be managed with different combination vaccines with same amount of resources. 

 

The global vaccine business is surging:

As per industry estimates, the global vaccine market is expected to top $10 billion in 2007 and $23.8 billion by 2012. Pediatric vaccines have historically dominated this field, but adult vaccines will see a big spike due to increased uptake of influenza and hepatitis vaccines. Cancer vaccines will also become a major player in the vaccine market. The fastest growing segments in the adult vaccines area are influenza and Hepatitis vaccines. 
 
Indian Vaccine Market: 

India is poised to play a leading role in the vaccine market of the world even as Asia starts to become the vaccine hub of the world. The Indian vaccine market is estimated to be around US$500 millions with a private vaccine market of US$125 millions, growing at 20% per annum. Though the Indian vaccine market is primarily dominated by traditional vaccines like Tetanus, DPT, Polio, Typhoid and Hepatitis-B, the private vaccine market is now shifting from single traditional vaccines to new innovative combination vaccines like Hep. B + DTP + Hib and Hib + DTP. 

 
The government immunization program guides the primary demand for vaccines, which is in line with WHO universal immunization policy. This policy recommends universal immunization of all children to reduce child mortality. 
 
 The proposed National Biotechnology Policy is expected to provide the much needed funding for augmenting startups and supporting product development.

 

Given the right impetus and with India positioning itself as the preferred global destination for biotechnology, Indian Companies are poised to feature among the top 10 biotech companies globally by 2015. 

 
Polio - Current Scenario: 

Globally, the launch of WHO's global polio eradication programme fuelled the polio eradication activities in 1988. The WHO's initial target of eradicating polio globally by 2000 has been revised to 2008 to incorporate solutions for practical difficulties faced during the past. However, there has been a significant progress in combating the deadly disease. The number of countries affected by polio has come down rapidly from 125 countries in 1988 to 4 countries in 2005, namely India, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan. India is the second largest country (Nigeria has reported maximum number of cases) affected by polio. 

 
There has been a steady decline in Polio cases, from an estimated 350000 cases in 1988 world wide, the total number of cases drastically coming down to around 376 in 2007. India has registered significant achievements in polio eradication and the number of cases being reduced from 25000 in 1988 to just 139 in 2007 (till 8th July, 2007). 
 
 As per WHO guidelines, a WHO region can be certified polio free only if it does not record any case of polio during three consecutive years following the year in which zero case is registered first time. India hopes to register zero case for the first time in CY 2008. Thereafter, if it does not record any case of polio in 2009, 2010 and 2011, India can achieve its target of becoming a polio free country. However, immunization activities may continue until entire region (Pakistan and Afghanistan) becomes a polio free nation. 

 
Immunization against Polio to Continue:

The immunization against polio will continue in the post polio eradication era. It is expected that the mode of immunization will change from Oral Polio Vaccine to Injectable Polio Vaccine. In those countries where polio has been eradicated, the Injectable Polio Vaccine is being used. The world health regulatory bodies suggest that the vaccination against polio must continue even after achieving polio eradication. 

 
Global Pharmaceutical Market: 

The global pharmaceutical market continued to expand its size year on year on the back of increased expenditure on health management in expanding economies. The changing demographies and epidemiological trends with ever increasing demand for lifestyle products supported the current growth in the global pharmaceutical market. The global pharmaceutical market registered a growth of 6.5% in 2006, down slightly from 2005 and passed another threshold to reach US$ 608 billion. [Source IMS MIDAS]. 


As per the industry estimates, the global pharmaceutical market is forecast to grow to US$842 billion in 2010, an equivalent CAGR of 6.9% over the next five years.
