LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History:

 

Incorporated in June 1961 as a private limited company, Ranbaxy Laboratories (RLL) manufactures and markets pharmaceutical dosage forms (for human health care), animal health care products, bulk drugs and intermediates, diagnostics, laboratory chemicals and reagents. It is the largest exporter of bulk drugs and pharmaceutical dosage forms in India.  

 
RLL has three successful overseas joint ventures in Nigeria, Malaysia and Thailand. A joint venture incorporated in India with Eli Lilly -- a leading original research company in pharmaceuticals was began its operations. The bulk antibiotics plant at Toansa, Punjab, has been approved by the US FDA and the dosage forms pharmaceuticals plant at Dewas, MP, is accredited by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The plants for bulk cephalosporins at Mohali and bulk fluoroquinolones at Dewas have also been designed to conform to FDA and MCA standards.Ranbaxy has decided to disinvest its entire 50% in the 50:50 joint venture Eli Lilly Ranbaxy and finally dissolve its eight-year-old joint venture with the US-based Eli Lilly and Company. For Ranbaxy, retaining its 50% stake would entail an investment of about Rs 370.000Millions
 
In 1997-98, it entered into a 50:50 joint venture with the New Jersey-based Schein Pharmaceuticals Inc, the generics arm of Bayer AG, Germany, for manufacture of Ranitidine. 

 
It went public in October 1993 to part-finance manufacturing facilities of bulk fluoroquinolones at Dewas, MP; and dosage forms at Paonta Sahib, Himachal Pradesh. For easier access to the European markets, RLL bought a drug firm in Ireland in January 1996. In 1996, it acquired six leading brands from Gufic. Croslands Research Laboratories, a leading manufacturer of dermatological pharmaceutical formulations has been merged with RLL. In October 1998 sold off the Glat (Global Alliances and Technologies) division of Croslands to French pharma major Galderma. 

 
In June 2001, Ranbaxy Laboratories Netherlands B.V, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ranbaxy Laboratories (RLL) and Vectura (Ventura), a world leader in the application of particle science for the development of novel drug delivery systems, made a collaboration to develop a new cost-effective, patent protected oral- controlled release technology with potential application for a broad range of pharmaceuticals compounds.  

 
In May 2002, the company has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application of its molecule, RBx 7644 (Ranbezolid), an extended spectrum Oxazolidinone, with the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI). Worldwide, this is the second anti-bacterial molecule of oxazolidinone class of compounds; but is the first going into clinical investigations with an extended spectrum of activity both in solid and injectable form. The company has completed the developmental activates for its 3 key products Cifran DD,Zanocin OD and Riomet OD. 

 
Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company has received approval from US FDA to sell a version of the antibiotic amoxicillin in the US. The company has given its focus on selling its versions of medicines going off patent in the US, the world's biggest drug market, where drugs worth 35 billion US dollars in sales, lose patent protection between 2000 and 2005. The company gets FDA nod for Cefadroxil Oral Suspension USP. The US Food & Drug Administration has approved to market Cefadrozil Powder for Oral Suspension USP in 125 mg/5 ml,250 mg/5 ml strengths. 

 
For several years, it has consistently been winning export awards, the last one being the top Trishul award from CHEMEXCIL in Nov.'92.

Operations:

 

During the year under review, consolidated net sales grew by 17% while profit after tax was lower by 8% relative to the previous year. The lower profits were due to a combination of factors, the notable being the pressure on margins due to severe price competition in some key markets, increase in R&D spends and one-off exceptional costs. The sales in USA at US $ 426 Mn constituted 36% of the consolidated sales. US market shares continued to improve, although margins came under strain due to severe pricing pressures. Sales in Europe registered notable growth of 116%, substantially contributed to by the successful acquisition of a generics business in France. Overall the overseas markets accounted for 79% of the consolidated sales of the Company, as compared to 76% previous year. Dosage form sales at 89% of the global sales, is an affirmation of the Company's continued focus in value added products.

Outlook on opportunities

 

The outlook for the global generic drug industry is positive with patent expirations of several brand drugs over the next few years. They estimate that around US$ 68 Billion of branded pharmaceuticals are coming off patent protection over the next five years. 

 
Increasing pressure from Governments and Healthcare providers across the globe to bring down healthcare costs, will ensure a conducive environment for growth of generics. 

 
Ranbaxy is well poised to participate in this opportunity. The Company is selling its products in over 100 countries and has an expanding international portfolio of affiliates, joint ventures and alliances, ground operations in 44 countries and manufacturing operations in 7 countries. 

 
 It has a robust product pipeline and cumulative Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) filed in the USA, as at 31st December 2004 were 146, with cumulative approvals of 96.

Outlook on the Indian Pharma market is positive. With the introduction of the product patent regime beginning Jan 1st 2005, the Indian market will be an attractive option for introduction of research-based products. Ranbaxy, the leading pharmaceutical company in India, is well set to further its growth in the Indian market.

It is also used as an adjunct therapy in the treatment of cancer patients. Tramadol Flashtab® tablets melt rapidly in the mouth without water and combine several benefits in terms of acceptability, accuracy of dosing and safety. This inherent property of a Flashtab® is an advantage in the treatment of pain, since it can be consumed without water and hence can be used anywhere, anytime.

RANBAXY PRESENTS SPECIAL AWARD IN PUBLIC HEALTH TO PROFESSOR K. SRINATH REDDY

 

Gurgaon, India, December 29, 2006

 

Ranbaxy Science Foundation, a non-profit organization set-up by Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited (RLL) to encourage and reward Indian scientists around the world, today, presented its 3rd ‘Ranbaxy Special Award in Public Health’ to Professor K. Srinath Reddy, Professor of Cardiology, AIIMS, and President Public Health Foundation of India, for his research contributions in public health in the field of epidemiology and prevention of cardio vascular diseases. The Foundation confers this special award on a person whose work or action has had a strong and lasting impact on public health issues. The award was presented by Dr. Nitya Anand, Chairman, Ranbaxy Science Foundation. On the occasion, Prof. Reddy delivered a lecture on the topic “Promoting Heart Health in India: A Public Health Approach”.

 

Prof. Reddy has been awarded with the Ranbaxy Special Award for distinguished services to public health in recognition of his outstanding national and global contributions to health promotion and prevention of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. His illustrious career as a cardiologist and epidemiologist till recently as a faculty member of the AIIMS and presently as the President of the Public Health Foundation of India, is replete with rich and varied contributions to public health. Prof. Reddy has, through his research, helped to identify the nature and extent of risk factors contributing to the rapid rise of heart diseases in India and also charted the dynamics of health transition which is transforming developing countries into a high risk zone for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and cancers. Working closely with Indian Ministry of Health as well as international agencies such as the World Health Organization and the World Heart Federation, he has helped to evolve policies and designed public health programmes related to prevention of cardiovascular diseases and obesity, tobacco control, healthy nutrition and physical activity.

 

Prof. Reddy has also created several new initiatives for health promotion and disease prevention. Through HRIDAY-SHAN, a school and college based network for promoting health awareness and informed health advocacy among youth, thousands of students have been mobilized into health action in Delhi and 10 other states. The first ever Global Youth Meet on Health, organized by HRIDAY-SHAN in 2006, unified youth from 35 countries into a Youth For Health movement which is set to conduct global campaigns for health promoting policies. An ongoing programme, in 10 industries across India, is providing over 200,000 employees and their family members health education, risk factor screening and counseling for disease prevention and management. Rigorous evaluation has shown these interventions to be highly successful in reducing risk and WHO has identified them to be ‘best practices’ for replication elsewhere.

 

Prof. Reddy has also been globally acclaimed for his role in championing tobacco control. As a member of the Indian delegation to the inter-governmental negotiations on the global Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, his articulate advocacy has made him a spokesperson for the developing countries. He was awarded with the WHO Director General’s Award for ‘Outstanding Contributions To Global Tobacco Control’ at the World Health Assembly of 2003.

 

Professor K. Srinath Reddy was awarded PADMA BHUSHAN by the President of India in 2005. He has brought honour to India by being awarded the Queen Elizabeth Medal for Health Promotion in 2005 and by becoming the first Indian Scientist to be inducted into the US National Academies’ Institute of Medicine. He is also the first Indian to deliver the prestigious Cutter Lecture at the Harvard School of Public Health. He has been listed by the University Grants Commission as one of the top Indian researchers in Medical Sciences and Social Sciences. He is a winner of ECAAR Global Peace Essay Award, adjudged by nine Nobel Laureates and other luminaries, as well as the Times of India Human Rights Essay Prize.

 

The Ranbaxy Special Award in Public Health has earlier been conferred on Mr. S. R. Rao former Commissioner of Surat and Dr. Justice K. Narayana Kurup former Acting Chief Justice and Judge of the Madras High court in recognition of their dynamic contributions towards improving the sanitation system in the aftermath of plague and imposing ban on smoking in public places respectively.
