'Doktor Mom' brand of J. B. Chemicals once again does India proud in the international market

Now awarded “Superbrand 2005” status in Russia

BSE Scrip Code : 506943 NSE Symbol : JBCHEPHARM

 

Mumbai, July 12, 2005: After just recently winning the Readers Digest award for “Most Trusted European Brand 2005”, Doctor Mom of J. B. Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd (JBCPL) has once again done India proud, by being awarded “Superbrand 2005” status in Russia.


Doktor Mom was awarded Superbrand status on the basis of the result of an independent council, which consists of the leading public and business figures in marketing, business analytics, advertising and design.

“Superbrands” is an independent international arbiter on branding. Operating across 40 countries, the organization promotes the discipline of branding and ensures that only the most deserving of brands get this prestigious award. The data provided to the Russian expert council for selecting the short list among thousands of brands was provided by Comcon and AC Nielsen, both renowned international research and rating specialists.


Commenting on the award, Mr. J. B. Mody, Chairman and Managing Director of JBCPL: “This award is a great honour for us and India as it reflects the efforts company has put in producing and building a truly quality product. They can proudly say that Doktor Mom was born in India and raised in Russia”

The Doktor Mom range which includes Cough Syrup, Lozenges and Rub is today considered as one of the few mega brands created by an Indian pharma Company outside India. JBCPL’s focus will be to out-license this brand to strong marketing partners for various regulated markets other than Russia, Ukraine and CIS countries.


JBCPL has recently entered into an out-licensing agreement with Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd for Doktor Mom in Romania. Ranbaxy will market the brand while JBCPL will manufacture Doktor Mom range and provide promotional input for the brand.


This award assumes tremendous significance for JBCPL as it is testament to the Export performance and brand building ability of the Company and the Country and is also the only Indian brand so honoured. Doktor Mom is the leading cough and cold brand in Russia. The rapidly growing Doktor Mom brand achieved a turnover of over US $ 15 million in FY 2004-05.


JBCPL, one of India’s leading pharmaceutical companies, manufactures & markets a diverse range of pharmaceutical formulations, herbal remedies and API’s. JBCPL exports to more than 50 countries worldwide with a strong presence in Russia, Ukraine and the other CIS countries and has successfully increased its presence in USA, Europe and Australia through Joint Ventures and Strategic Alliances.

May 30, 2005


Dear Shareowners,


It is always a pleasure communicating with you after the Audited Financial Results are announced. I am happy to state that despite VAT issues, the Company was one of the few pharma companies, who had shown growth not only in the Q4 but also for the whole of FY 2004-05 both in terms of sales and profits.

I take this opportunity to share with you some of the highlights of their 2004-05 performance.



Net Sales

Net Sales up 19.06% to Rs.358.09 Crores (Rs.300.75 Crores).


Exports
Total Exports led by Russia and CIS countries up 30% to Rs.211.04 Crores (Rs.162.29 Crores).

Profit After Tax

PAT up 15.88% to Rs.59.15 Crores (Rs.51.04 Crores).


EPS
The basic and diluted Earnings Per Share up 15.88% to Rs.7.37 (Rs.6.36) (on a face value of Rs.2/- per share w.e.f April 13, 2005).


Final Dividend of Rs.1.40 (70%) per Equity Share has been recommended on a face value of Rs.2/- per share on an equity share capital of Rs.16.06 Crores.



The total dividend for the FY 2004-05 paid/recommended is 120% per Equity Share, which is higher by 9% and works-out to 37.06% (including DDT) of PAT. This will be the highest ever dividend, if approved, by the Shareholders at the AGM.



Some of the momentous events of the year gone by were as follows:


• Doktor Mom won ‘Most Trusted European Brand 2005’ award in cold and cough segment from Reader’s Digest for the fifth successive year.

• Increased therapeutic coverage with launch of new CNS division and entry into new important therapeutic groups namely anti-diabetics, Nutritional & Urology segments.

• Maintained strong R & D focus on development of NDDS, filing of ANDA’s and DMF’s.


The Company’s growth drivers in 2005-06 will be :



• Aggressive thrust on expanding export market particularly Russia and CIS countries. With strong focus on expanding other regulated and un-regulated export markets through JVs/ strategic alliances.
• Leveraging State-of-the-Art Manufacturing facilities by entering into Contract Manufacturing arrangements with International companies of repute.

• Using strong R & D capabilities for contract research and filing additional ANDA’s and DMF’s.
• Superior product mix coupled with penetrative and effective supply chain.


The above forward looking moves barring unforeseen circumstances are expected to result in a topline growth of around 20%.



The Company’s recent investments by way of CAPEX in the State-of-the-Art manufacturing facilities have yielded so far rich dividends. The company is emboldened to create new State-of-the-Art manufacturing facilities at an estimated cost of Rs.65 crores to meet the future aggressive growth plans of the Company by setting up;



a. an additional manufacturing facility of US FDA and MHRA UK standards for Large/Small volume parentrals; and

b. multi purpose API’s plant, both in Panoli.



Their employees at all levels have put in exemplary efforts to sustain Company’s good performance. I sincerely thank them for making all of us feel proud. Of course, they have drawn great strength and inspiration from the trust and support, for this I personally and the entire ‘Unique’ team are deeply grateful.
