LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Subject was established in 1990 as a Research & Development company to develop processes for API & Intermediates and to provide turnkey solutions to the industry. In 1994 the name of the company was changed to Divi's Laboratories Limited. The company is headed by Murali K Divi as Chairman & Managing Director. In 1995,the company's first manufacturing unit was built on a 300 acre site comprising of 11 multi-purpose production blocks. 

 
The company's plant at Choutuppal Mandal, Nalgonda District is having 11 multi-purpose production blocks primarily manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates for generics, advanced intermediates for discovery compounds, cartenoids, protecting agents and building blocks for peptide chemistry and nucleotide chemistry. 

 
During 1991 the company successfully developed commercial processes for intermediates and bulk actions & supply to manufacturing enterprises. In 2000 the company was awarded ISO 9001 certification by SGS-Yarsley. 

 
The Company product portfolio has about 90 products covering Generic Products and New Chemistries comprising Custom Synthesis of APIs & Intermediates for MNC, Peptide Building Overseas and Carotenoids etc. The company is the first company to develop and manufacture synthetic carotenoids and also the largest manufacturer of some peptide reagents and protected amino acids world-wide. 

 
The company has taken up a development of a new site in 2002 at Chippada village 35 KM from Visakhapatnam. The commercial production is slated to commence by March 2003. The total estimated outlay on this facility was Rs.402.200 Millions . The above plant will not only increase the capacity of API and also provide comfort to the company's multinational customers for assured supply of products. 

 
The company is coming out with an IPO through book building route and the offer size is 3.205 Millions equity shares of Rs.10 each comprising fresh issue of 1.270 Millions shares and an offer for sale of 1.935  Millions  shares. The floor price has been fixed at Rs.130 per share and the issue is open from February 17,2003 to February 21,2003. After the public issue the total equity has increased to Rs.128.200 Millions from Rs 115.500  Millions  
 
The company has increased its installed capacity of Active Pharma Ingredients & Intermediates by 200 MTs and with this expansion the total installed capacity of Active Pharma Ingredients & Intermediates has increased to 2000 MTs. 

 
The company has invested an amount of Rs.303.521 Millions towards capital expenditure at its manufacturing facilities at Choutuppal (Unit-I) and Chippada (Unit-II) for additional machinery installed at both Unit-I and Unit-II for enhancing he production capacity. Further the company has commissioned a new pilot plant at Unit-2 and also a new Research Centre with 60 work stations, which became fully operational during the year. The company has also installed additional Laboratory instruments at the Research centres.  

 
The company is in the process of setting up an Export Oriented Unit with a capital investment of Rs.350 millions at its Unit-2.

 

PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONS REVIEW

 

During the year, Subject achieved a turnover of Rs.3811.100 millions as against Rs. 3473.800 millions during the previous year reflecting a growth of 9.7%. Exports constituted 90% of total turnover and exports to advanced markets comprising Europe and America accounted for 74% of Company's business. Other Income earned during the year stood at Rs.106.200 millions as against Rs. 171.500 millions in the previous year. Profit after Tax (PAT) came to Rs.704.700 millions as against Rs. 660.300 millions during the previous year. An amount of Rs.71.000 millions has been transferred to General Reserve as against Rs.74.500 millions during the previous year. Earnings Per Share for the year works to Rs.54.98 per share as against Rs. 51.51 last year on absolute basis and to Rs.53.94 per share as against Rs.51.51 last year on diluted basis.

 

During the year, Subject has added 14 products to its product portfolio of which 6 are generic APIs and intermediates and 8 are custom synthesis APIs and intermediates.

 

FINANCE

 

In order to part finance the new Projects, the company has obtained sanctions of Foreign Currency Term Loans to the tune of US $ 17.1 million and Rupee Term Loan of Rs.20 millions from banks.

 

Of these, FC loan to the extent of US $ 8.1 million and Rupee Loan to the full extent have been drawn as of 31st March, 2006. Subject has availed higher working capital limits to cater to increased business requirements. Subject has been regular in payment of interest and other obligations with the Banks.

 

SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE and EXPORT ORIENTED UNIT

 

The company has obtained approval from Government of India for developing a Special Economic Zone on a 250-acre land earmarked from out of its existing land at Chippada, Bheemunipatnam Mandal,Visakhapatnam Dist. It is proposed to invest an amount of Rs.200 millions on this Site over a period of 3-4 years. The company has recently converted its existing Unit-2 at Chippada Village into an Export Oriented Unit for synergy of operations as the company is a consistent exporter for the last several years, with exports constituting about 90% of its business.

 

This structure would help the company provide a level playing field and to be internationally competitive.

 

SUBSIDIARIES

 

During the later part of the year, the company has incorporated Divis Laboratories (USA) Inc., in the United States of America and M/s. Divi's Laboratories Europe AG in Switzerland as 100% Subsidiaries for the purpose of marketing its products and a greater reach to customers within these regions. The Company has also inducted experienced personnel who have expertise in product distribution for the subsidiaries. As there is no commercial activity during the period, the set-up and administrative expenses resulted in net loss. The subsidiaries are expected to commence marketing operations during 2006-07. Since the accounts of subsidiaries were not audited at the time of consideration of annual accounts by the Board, the same were considered as 'unaudited financials' for consolidation of accounts. As these were audited subsequently, the same were noted by the board and are appended to this annual report.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

During the year, Subject has filed 7 DMFs with US-FDA and 4 Dossiers with European Directorate. The cumulative DMFs filed with USFDA are 26 and 8 with European Directorate. Subject continues to have unique positioning in the generic and custom synthesis businesses due to its R&D capabilities and cGMP manufacturing facilities and cost competitive structure.

 

The company's product portfolio has increased from 90 to 104. There has been significant growth in the share of the top 5 products to leading consumers in US and Europe. Subject is positioned in the value markets for a medium to long-term perspective and on a more stable business with potential to grow further.

 

In the custom manufacturing domain, many of the customers have increased their sourcing with several new products. The initial technical work related to qualifications is completed on several of these products and the commercial supplies look very promising.

 

Subject is expanding its capacities to meet the increase in the opportunities in custom synthesis and generics space. Conversion of the existing Unit-2 as EOU and the work on development of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) would bring in operational convenience and have a level playing field as Subject is predominantly into Export.

Industry structure and development

 

The Indian pharmaceutical industry has the potential to become the region's hub for Research & Development worldwide and is estimated to be growing at 10% as compared to the global industry rate of 7% and poised to grow vertically in providing outsourcing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and custom manufacturing for the pharma MNCs. According to estimate of IMS, the market for APIs is around US$13 billion. Italy's Chemical Pharmaceutical Generic Association (CPA) reported that India and China jointly accounted for 20.7% of the world market for generic plus branded active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), a figure expected to reach 32% by 2010. But with sales of Indian APIs expected to grow by 19 % per year over the period 2005-2010, the CPA rates India as currently "the most aggressive competition" in the world generic APIs business.

Divi's Laboratories Europe AG in Switzerland as 100% Subsidiaries for the purpose of marketing its products and a greater reach to customers within these regions.

 

Opportunities and Threats

 

The new patent regime in place in India from 2005 is offering a conducive atmosphere for out-sourcing by big pharma companies which, in turn, results in major opportunities to Indian pharma companies committed to mutually beneficial business strategies with the innovators as opposed to conflicting business interests.

 

The company lays great stress on the three leverages it has in order to counter competition from its peers in Europe and US: Being able to develop processes in the R&D using highly skilled scientists and professionals at competitive costs and speed Creation of equivalent capacity at a much lower cost Operating the infrastructure at competitive costs The company also attaches importance to retaining its pool of scientists and managerial personnel and strives to maintain its manufacturing practices and standards to cGMP and constantly works towards adhering to the regulatory requirements.

 

Exports

 

Exports constituted 90% of turnover during the year which is the same as in the previous year. The company is constantly working towards enhancing its business to advanced markets.

 

Other Income

 

Other Income mainly comprised Contract Research fee and sale/ transfer of some of the export benefits (DEPB Credit and Duty Drawback) available to the company. Other Income for the year amounted to Rs.1062 millions as against Rs.1715 millions for the previous year.

 

Income on contract research accounted for Rs.348 millions during the year as against Rs. 660 millions during the last year. Income on Export benefits for the year came to at Rs.446 millions as against Rs. 903 millions during the last year.
