LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

The company was incorporated on 24th February 1984 as a Private Limited Liability Company at Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh having Company Registration Number 4507 and was converted into a Public Limited Liability Company on 2nd November 1985.

 

Subject is a leading Indian pharmaceutical company with vertically integrated operations. The company develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of pharmaceutical products in India and overseas. It produces finished dosage forms, active pharmaceutical ingredients, diagnostic kits, critical care and biotechnology products. The company has over 190 finished dosage brands and 60 active pharmaceutical ingredients currently in production.

 

The company actively pursues a basic research programme under the aegis of Dr. Reddy’s Research Foundation (DRF). DRF focuses on cancer, diabetes, bacterial infections and pain management. The company has several pharmaceutical products in development, three of which are in clinical trials and two had completed pre-clinical testing.

 

The merger with Cheminor Drugs (the swap ratio at nine shares of company for 25 shares of Cheminor), had made DRL the third largest pharmaceutical company in India with participation in every element of the value chain. DRL is a major player in the domestic finished dosages market and many of its brands are leaders. The company has a formidable presence in the highly regulated markets of the U.S.A., the Europe and Japan and it exports its’ products to 60 countries.

 

The company has two US-FDA approved plants. It has been exporting its products to the UK, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy and The Netherlands. It also started exporting its formulations in a big way to Russia and has set up an office there. DRL has signed a joint venture agreement with the Khetan Group, Nepal, for setting up a joint venture for the manufacture and marketing of finished formulations in Nepal and other neighbouring countries. It also signed a marketing and distribution agreement with Organics, Israel, for a wide range of sophisticated diagnostic kits. The products are recognized by World Health Organization and other leading organizations in the healthcare industry.

 

In May 2002, DRL has completed phase I clinical trials on its anti-cancer compound DRF-1042.  This is company’s first new chemical entity (NCE) in the cancer area.

 

The company issued 4,301,076 GDSs representing 4,301,076 equity shares of the company, par value Rs.10 ("Shares"), in a private placement in 1994 pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").  The GDSs are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and each GDS represents one Share. As of May 4, 2001, there were 1,789,285 GDSs outstanding representing 1789285 Shares.


The company entered the global generic market with exports of Ranitidine-75 mg and Fluoxetine to North America.


The company has entered into an exclusive co-marketing and development agreement with Par Pharmaceuticals Inc. covering fourteen generic pharmaceutical products. This will strengthen the company's position in the US generic market and it will get a substantial cost advantage on account of its vertical integration capabilities. The company unveiled its new corporate identity and philosophy - "Life, Research, Hope"- reinforcing its commitment of bringing hope to life through research. Its new identity also highlights the company's ethos - a caring organisation that leverages its expertise in research for a healthier life.

 

In April 2001, as a first step towards taking its molecules through clinical development on its own, the company had selected Simbec Research Limited, a well-known U.K.-based Clinical Research Organization (CRO), for conducting clinical trials of DRF 4832. DRF 4832 was a PPAR against for treatment of cardiovascular complications.

 

In April 2001, the company began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (code : RDY). The price to the public per ADS was $ 10.04. Total amount raised (net) was $ 124 million.

 

In May 2001, Novartis Pharma AG and the company announced that they had entered a licensing agreement for a novel anti-diabetes agent. Under terms of the agreement, the company will grant Novartis worldwide exclusive right to development and commercialization of their insulin sensitizer DRF  4158 in type 2 diabetes, in return for up to USD 55 million in upfront and milestone payments for specific clinical and regulatory end points, as well as royalties. The Company would have co-promotion rights for DRF 4158 in India. The agreement has received US regulatory clearance and had become effective from July 30, 2001. This event had triggered an upfront payment of 5 millions US$ from Novarties. The company had received this payment.

 

In May 2002, DRL has completed phase I clinical trials on its anti-cancer compound DRF-1042. This is companies first new chemical entity (NCE) in the cancer area. With the approval of Shareholders the Face value of the company shares has been reduced to Rs.5 per share .

OVERVIEW 
 
2005-06 has been a momentous- indeed defining - year for Dr. Reddy's Laboratories (Dr. Reddy's' or 'the company). To understand why, it is necessary to touch upon the situation of the company a year earlier, at the end of 2004-05. 2004-05 was probably the most challenging year in the history of Dr. Reddy's. Due to severe pricing pressure on its Generics business, consolidated revenues had declined year-on-year by 3 percent to Rs.19519 million. Post-tax profit fell by almost 91 percent to Rs. 211 million. Instead of concentrating only on cutting costs, Dr. Reddy's decided to re-commit its strategies and organizational architecture to aggressively growing all its businesses and increasing profitability. In the course of 2005-06, the Company significantly de-risked its drug discovery process by forming an integrated drug development Company called Perlecan Pharma Private Limited with Citigroup Venture and ICICI Venture. It acquired Roche's API business, its order-book and its U.S. FDA-approved manufacturing plant at Cuernavaca in Mexico, with a portfolio of 18 products as well as a range of intermediates and steroids. Thereafter, it acquired betapharm, Germany's fourth largest generics pharmaceuticals Company, with a portfolio of 145 marketed products. All this was carried out even as the Company actively pushed the sale of its pharmaceutical products throughout the world to grow revenues and profits, while creating a more robust API and generics pipeline for the future. These and other initiatives have resulted in a rebound in growth and profitability. The Company crossed the historical milestone of U.S.$500 million in revenues. Simultaneously, the Company whole-heartedly focused on having its internal controls over financial reporting in line with the stringent requirements of Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley ('SOX') Act. The objective was to complete this task well before the mandatory deadline of March 31, 2007 for foreign US Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') registrants, such as Dr. Reddy's. We are delighted to inform you that, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the various cross-functional teams, Dr. Reddy's is now compliant with Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes Oxley Act. That makes Dr. Reddy's the first manufacturing Company in India, and one of the earliest foreign filers, to become SOX compliant - testimony to the strong internal controls over financial reporting and corporate governance standards and practices of the Company. Given below are some key financial highlights: * Revenues increased by 24.3 percent from Rs. 19519 million in 2004-05 to Rs. 24267 million in 2005-06. 


* Profits after tax increased from Rs. 211 million in 2004-05 to Rs. 1629 million in 2005-06. 

 
* Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis rose from Rs. 2.76 in the previous year to Rs. 21.24 in 2005-06. 
 
While these are discussed in detail in the sections that follow, the drivers of performance in 2005-06 were: 
 
 * Well-diversified revenue growth of 17 percent (excluding acquisitions) across key markets and for key product segments, which demonstrated the strength of the Company's underlying businesses. 

 
* Initiatives to de-risk R&D investments - specifically, the initiatives with ICICI Venture Funds Management Company towards the product development for U.S. Generics and co-promotion of Perlecan Pharma for Discovery Research. 

 
* Decrease in foreign exchange loss compared to 2004-05. 

 
* One-time income from the profit on the sale of the Company's formulations manufacturing facility at Goa. 
 
Briefly, the revenue growth for each of the key businesses in 2005-06 was : 

 
a) API : 19 percent growth to Rs. 8238 million, mainly due to a better combination of products and markets. 
 
 b) FORMULATIONS : 27 percent growth to Rs. 9926 million, led by excellent performance across markets, particularly India, Russia and the CIS countries. 

 
c) GENERICS BUSINESS (excluding acquisition): Grew by 28 percent in Europe. However, because of heavy pricing pressure, revenues in North America, declined by 27 percent to Rs. 1631 million. 

 
d) CUSTOMS PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES (CPS): Excluding acquisition, the CPS business grew by 68 percent to Rs. 523 million in 2005-06. 


e) ACQUISITIONS: The Company's acquisitions in Mexico and Germany contributed to Rs. 1509 million to the revenues of 2005-06. 

 
In the following sections, we discuss acquisitions, markets, business-wise revenues, R & D and financials in greater detail. 

 

ACQUISITIONS 
 
Dr. Reddy's had realized that in order to rapidly grow its businesses it had to focus on acquisitions. Fortunately, the Company had a strong balance sheet with the value of cash and cash equivalents to the tune of U.S$ 209 million and hardly any long-term debt as on March 31, 2005. It therefore had the financial strength to make major acquisitions. Two significant ones were concluded in 2005-06.  

 
 * The first was the purchase of Roche's API business, its order-book and its manufacturing plant at Cuernavaca in Mexico at an investment of U.S$ 61 million. The plant, approved by the U.S. FDA and other international regulatory agencies, employs around 240 people, with the current portfolio comprising 18 products including mature APIs as well as a range of intermediates and steroids. 

 
 * The second acquisition during the year was that of betapharm, Gemany's fourth largest generics pharmaceuticals Company. Dr. Reddy's entirely bought out betapharm in an all cash deal for approximately Euro 483 million. The Company currently has a portfolio of 145 marketed products; employs 370 people with a dedicated revenues force of 250; and achieved a turnover of Euro 164 million in 2005. betapharm gives Dr. Reddy's access to a broad portfolio and a strong foothold in the large German generics market. 

 

MARKETS 
 
GLOBAL TRENDS


In 2005, global pharmaceutical revenues was estimated at U.S.$602 billion. In the ten major markets that account for 81 percent of the total global revenues, the average growth was 6 percent in 2005, compared with 7 percent the previous year. However, emerging markets - including China, Korea, Mexico, Russia and Turkey-experienced double-digit growth and, by consistently out-pacing global performance, have begun to signal important shifts in the market place. With improving patient access to prescription drugs, the emerging markets of Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe have gained in strength. Global growth in pharmaceutical revenues was driven by increased longevity of the populations, rising wealth, innovative new products, and new applications for existing products. In 2005 alone, 40 percent of total market growth was fuelled by the introduction of new products, including 30 new molecular entities launched in key markets. North America, which accounts for 47 percent of global pharmaceutical revenues, grew 5 percent, to U.S$ 266 billion, while Europe experienced somewhat higher growth of 7 percent, to U.S$ 170 billion. Japan, the world's second largest market and one which had been posting slower growth rates, performed strongly in 2005 - growing 7 percent to U.S$ 60 billion, its highest year-on-year growth since 1991. Revenues in Latin America grew at an exceptional rate of 19 percent to U.S$ 24 billion, while Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) and Africa grew 11 percent to U.S$ 46 billion. China continued showing spectacular growth - of 20 percent to almost U.S$ 12 billion in 2005. This is the third consecutive year that China has achieved over 20 percent growth. In fact, IMS estimates that China will be the world's seventh largest pharmaceutical market by 2009. 

 
The number of blockbuster products (those with revenues exceeding U.S.$1 billion per year) reached 94 in 2005, vis-a-vis just 36 in 2000. These included 17 new members of the billion-dollar club. While six blockbusters are expected to lose their patents in 2006, the launch of new products and continued growth of those already on the market will result in an increasing number of blockbusters over the next five years. 
 
TRENDS IN INDIA


With 2005 witnessing the advent of the product patent regime, both MNCs and Indian pharmaceutical companies have begun to adapt their strategies. The MNCs are now preparing to bring in their research molecules to the country to leverage India's strength of knowledge workers, while Indian companies are trying to focus on developing brands and exploring in-licensing and marketing alliances. 

 
In 2005, the Indian pharmaceutical market grew by 7 percent in volume and 9 percent in value to Rs.230 billion. New product launches contributed to almost 90 percent of this 9 percent value growth. All the top-10 new products crossed the milestone revenues figure of Rs.100 million. Overall growth, however, occurred more in the second half of the year compared to first half when it was affected by the uncertainty over the impact of implementation of the VAT regime. Some of the key trends in the market during 2005 were:  
 
* Revenue of acute therapy products grew by 8 percent in 2005 compared to 6 percent in 2004. Chronic therapy revenues grew by 11 percent in 2005 - in line with the 2004 growth rate.  

 
* Except pain and cardiac therapeutic segments, most therapy areas observed higher growth in 2005 compared to 2004. 

 
* Share of the top 10 companies declined from 38 percent of the Indian market in 2003 to 36 percent in 2005. indicating higher market penetration by the mid-sized and smaller pharmaceutical companies. 

 

DR. REDDY'S MARKET PERFORMANCE 


REVENUES 
 
Revenues increased by almost 24 percent to Rs. 24267 million in 2005-06. This was primarily due to increase in revenues of APIs, Formulations, Generics in Europe, as well as the revenue contribution from Mexico (with effect from December 30, 2005) and Germany (from March 3, 2006). Excluding the two acquisitions, revenues grew by 17 percent.  

 
India contributed 34 percent of total revenues in 2005-06. International operations accounted for the remaining 66 percent, which was distributed as follows:  

 
* 16 percent of total revenues from North America (United States and Canada). 

 
* 15 percent from Russia and other countries in the Common wealth of Independent States ('CIS'). 

 
* 18 percent from Europe, and 17 percent from other countries. 

 

* Revenues from Europe increased by 51 percent to Rs. 4326 million in 2005-06, primarily on account of the Company's growing revenues of Generics, APIs and Formulations. This revenue includes Rs. 686 million from betapharm, which as acquired in March 2006. 


* Revenues from North America decreased by 8 percent to Rs. 3984 million in 2005-06, largely because of severe pricing pressure in Generics and lower revenues in API. 

 
 * Revenues from India increased by 24 percent to Rs. 8272 million in 2005-06, thanks to significantly better performance in the performance by business under U.S.GAAP. 

 
ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS AND INTERMEDIATES ('API') 

 
In 2005-06, revenue from API increased by 19 percent to Rs. 8238 million, with international revenues accounting for 72 percent of this segment's revenue. International revenues grew by 20 percent to Rs. 5942 million in 2005-06. Several markets showed high growth. For instance, revenues from Europe grew by 30 percent primarily due to key product such as terbinafine, montelukast and sertraline, which more than offset the decline in revenues of ramipril due to pricing pressure. The Company performed very well in emerging markets, especially in Israel, Turkey and Mexico. Robust growth in other international markets more than offset the decline in North American revenues, which fell by 11 percent to Rs. 1654 million in 2005-06 - largely because of the lack of significant new product launches coupled with revenues decline in the existing portfolio. Revenues from India grew by 16 percent to Rs. 2296 million in 2005-06. Ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin and ranitidine drove this growth.
