LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Subject is a Gujarat-based pharmaceutical company that focuses on contract manufacturing for MNC pharma companies. The company was incorporated in the year 1983.  

 
The company's business is organized under the two segments i.e Marketable Molecules or MM Segment - QUATS and Specialiy Chemicals, Intermediates and APIs & CRAM Segment - Contract Research and Contract Manufacturing. It produces Quats phosponium and ammonium quatenary compounds (essentially a commodity business), specialty chemicals, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and intermediates. 

 
Its facilities located at Bavla and Naroda. Further unit 6B of the facility, currently used for the manufacture of an API for Solvay is built on the principles set out in certain regulations of the US FDA.  

 
The subsidiaries of the company are Dishman Europe Limited (Del.), Dishman Cyprus Limited, Dishman USA Inc., Dishman Intr. Trading (Shangai) Co, Dishman FZE, Dishman Africa (Prop) Limited, Pharma Syn B V (PS) and Dishman Holland BV. 

 
Amongst associate companies, Schutz Dishman Biotech, a 50:50 JV with Schutz GmbH based in Germany needs special mention. Subject holds 22.33% stake in the JV, Schutz GmbH holds 50% stake while promoters of subject hold the rest. The JV is engaged in manufacture and sale of bulk drugs intermediates etc and its manufacturing site is at Bavla, which is one of the locations of subject as well.  

 
The company acts as contract-manufacturing partner for Belgium based Solvay Group. It is supplying API Eprosartan Mesylate (EM) and its intermediates, and the agreement is valid upto Dec'08 and extendable annually thereafter. Solvay's patent for EM expires in 2013, and EM is a hypertensive drug marketed by Solvay under the brand Teveten. Subject is one of the suppliers of API EM, and it will supply 30% of Solvay's requirement thereof and another 30% is supplied by an European supplier. For the balance 40% requirement, Solvay may source from either of these suppliers, at its discretion. The commercial production of EM by subject started in Mar'03.  
 
Further, the company has entered into a toll manufacturing contract with Solvay since May'02 for toll production of another intermediate 7-DHC and this agreement is valid upto Dec'07 and extendable annually thereafter. The contract for API of EM is terminable after 2008 at the end of each year, after giving 36 months prior notice to Solvay, while Solvay can terminate the same by giving 12 months notice. The agreement also provides for sharing of savings in cost of manufacture achieved by subject due to process improvements etc between Solvay and subject at varying percentages ranging from 20 to 50% to subject, 

 
While focussing on contract manufacturing, the company's skills in process optimisation and improvement in Quats business, has opened it another avenue of great potential - contract research. The company views contract research as a window of opportunity to get more contract manufacturing assignments from MNCs. 

 
To encompass the entire spectrum of pharma business, the company has now also set its eyes on generic business in advanced markets. The company has already filed six Drug Master Files (DMFs) with various foreign regulatory authorities. It has started preparing DMFs for production of APIs / Intermediates of generics that are likely to come out of patent in the next few years. Having tasted success in contract manufacturing, the company is hopeful of locating marketing partners in the regulated markets for the chosen future generic products and to strengthen and expand long term relationship with global pharma companies.  

 
The company has lined up Rs 525 Millions of capital expenditure program, which will be predominantly funded through the present issue. The company proposes to invest the above sum over a three year period, ranging from Rs 36 Millions in FY 2004, Rs 345.700 Millions in FY 2005 and balance in FY 2006. Of this, the company will invest around Rs 180 Millions for API and intermediate plants for augmenting its capacities. The GMP compliant API plant is likely to commence commercial production by Oct'05 while the intermediate plant is likely to commence by Aug'05. Further the company will invest Rs 95 Millions to set up a dedicated R & D center at its Bavla facility, which is likely to commence operations by Nov'03. The company will also invest 30 Millions towards expansion of existing facilities and Rs 85 Millions towards expansion of common utilities. The expansion of existing facilities is likely to be completed by May'05 while that of common facilities is likely to be completed by Apr'05. 

 
During 2004-05 the company has executed various agreements with Arab Company for Drug Industries and Medical Appliances (ACDIMA) for setting up a joint venture project intially to manufacture 20 APIs in the Arab countries not only for marketing but also for exporting them. ACDIMA has agreed inprincipal to subject's request to hold 51% of the share capital of the joint venture project by subject. Further the company has entered into an agreement with NU SCAAN UK for the development & manufacture of Bulk Actives for Neutraceutical products. This agreement recognizes the R&D capabiities of the subject Group including Synprotech the new acquisition in UK by subject. The company has also acquired the business together with the technology basket pertaining to a group of speciality chemical products from C6 UK.  

 
In April 2004 the company came out with an Initial Public Offer (IPO) of 3433500 equity shares of Rs.10/- each at a premium of Rs.165/- for cash aggregating to Rs.600.86 million through 100% book building process. The object of the issue is to setup API and Intermediate Manufacturing Plant to setup dedicated Research and Development Center and to expand the existing facilties and utilities at Balva Plant. Further this project was initiated and the total estimated cost is Rs.409 Millions. During 2003-04 the company has also received the approval for setting up a 100% EOU at GIDC Naroda, Gandhidham (Kutch), Gujarat at an estimated cost of Rs.150 Millions and this project is under implementation which is expected to commence its commerical production from 2005-06.  

 
In October 2005 the company sub-divided its equity share face value from Rs.10/- per share and Rs.2/- per share. During December 2005 the company has acquired a Bern, Switzerland based Contract Research Company, M/S I03S Limited through its subsidiary Dishman Switzerland Limited

BUSINESS PROSPECTS: 

 
The Company, in line with its vision, has firmly established itself as a preferred partner of choice to the global Pharma majors in the rapidly emerging Contract Research and Manufacturing (CRAM) segment, thanks to the focused and consistent approach adopted over last several years. With the successful delivery of various products to Solvay on long term basis, many other major Pharma MNCs have approached the Company for long term manufacturing contracts and many more contracts are in the pipeline. Again, while the primary focus is on the Pharma sector, the Company is consistently striving to balance both Pharma and non-Pharma sectors, positioning itself as a Company with extremely strong chemistry skill sets, management depth, research centric approach and world class facilities to compliment its efforts. Needless to say, the Company strives to work with the Innovators in a non-conflicting environment.  

 
The Company is indeed proud to mention that while at macro level, India is regarded as a favorite outsourcing Destination, the Company is regarded in the industry as one of the early birds having obtained a leadership position in this space. The Company will consistently strive to maintain this position, which will help the Company to exploit further available potential. In fact, all global acquisitions made by the Company so far are further helping in enhancing and consolidating the Company's position in this space, which has tremendous growth prospects in future. 

 
The Company is well positioned to emerge as an outsourcing partner of choice due to Company's quest for quality control, desire for innovative research & cohesive alliance with the formulation industry.  
 
Contract Research and Contract Manufacturing (CRAMS) business is the core of the Company's business model. The impact of focus on CRAMS business is reflected by the CRAMS share in the total turnover increasing from 52% in Financial year 2005-06 to 56% in Financial year 2006-07. 

 
With the acquisition of Carbogen Amcis AG and its full integration with the business of the Company, future business prospects more particularly in CRAM segment are bright. 

 
Acquisition of Carbogen Amcis AG.: 

 
As reported last year, the Company completed acquisition process successfully and business of Carbogen Amcis AG. (CA) was integrated w.e.f. 23 rd August, 2006. 

 
Carbogen Amcis is one of the top companies having a combination of Research and manufacturing in the world. The Company will enhance the business prospects of CA by driving synergies between the two companies. Expanding the product suite and renewing the focus on key accounts will enhance the scale of operations. Jointly the Indian and Swiss businesses can serve the entire drug life cycle of 15-20 years. subject also hopes to leverage its high operational efficiency in India to improve margins in the Swiss operations.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT: 

 
AN INDUSTRY OVERVIEW 

 
The global Pharma Industry outsourcing market is estimated at USD 48 billion with a consistent growth rate of 10% over the past 5 years and is expected to touch USD 55 billion over the next 2 to 3 years with India capturing nearly 20% of the global outsourcing pie. 

 
The Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) business provides manufacturing and research services to global pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies in both innovative and generic space. The CRAMS segment is mainly divided into two segments: CRAMS I (fine chemicals) and CRAMS II (advanced intermediates and nutrition products). In FY2006, the CRAMS segment revenues contributed 61% to total Pharmaceutical and Life Science Products (PLSP) revenues, with CRAMS I and CRAMS II at 12% and 49% respectively. They believe that the CRAMS business is expected to grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 33% from Rs.4.2 billion in FY2006 to Rs.7.4 billion in FY2008E, with CRAMS I and CRAMS II expected to witness 59% and 26% revenue CAGR respectively. The value growth is expected to witness more from CRAMS I business compared to CRAMS II business, as the stage of fine chemicals is much closer to APIs stage than advanced intermediates. 

 
Contract Manufacturing, Contract Research and Contract Sales are the broad segments of the industry. API manufacturing, Clinical Research and Basic research are the major outsourcing services to the extent which Indian service providers are utilized. As a result, many global Pharma companies realize India as a potential hub for outsourcing their activities. 

 
With the recent announcements by many MNCs of either reduction of their work force or closure of their manufacturing units outside India, the scope of Contract Manufacturing has increased substantially. 

 
India is emerging as a major destination for contract research and manufacturing services with its existing pool of skilled human resource, low cost advantage, technical expertise (Information Technology, Chemistry, Biotechnology and Process Engineering), manufacturing capability (with highest number of USFDA approved plants), diverse genetic pool, confidentiality and trust worthiness. subject being the first mover is one of the major players in the field. 

 
SWOT Analysis of the Company: 

 
Though subject commenced as a 'Quats' Company, it being a R & D driven Company, has focused on custom chemical synthesis for last many years, which is generating increased revenue at higher margins.  

 
subject undertakes Contract Research for patent / license holders of either recently patented products or for their generic products to be marketed in the regulatory markets and supply of trial products. It also enters into long-term supply contracts for the supply of APIs/Intermediates. This is in addition to subject's regular manufacture and marketing of the marketable molecules, comprising Quats, PTCs, APIs and Intermediates etc.

* Growth of Generics market in US and Europe

 
* CMO opportunities with other large MNCs : Patented Drugs . 

 
* High value Quats Business and newer Quats applications. 

 
* High potency product (high cost; low volume) manufacture 

 
* A few of the products on which R & D activities are carried out for the clients and after completion of Phase III of trials are commercialized, may be converted into contract manufacturing. 

 
Threats : 

 
* Competition from other Indian companies operating in similar segments. 

 
* Competition from countries that offers low cost manufacturing base such as China, Korea and Taiwan

 
* The patent/license holder may abandon the NCE at any stage due to various reasons. 

 
Segment-wise or product-wise performance: 

 
The company's management had the foresight to position itself as a premier contract manufacturing organization ('CMO') based on its R&D experience and relationships developed with global MNC customers. To facilitate this graduation, in 1997, the company set up a modern production facility at Bavla, now a 100% EOU, near Ahmedabad. Currently, the company has eight multi purpose production units at Bavla, out of which two (including one US FDA approved facility) are commercially dedicated for contract manufacturing for Solvay Pharmaceuticals B.V., Netherlands ('Solvay'). This was the company's first long term contract as a CMO. 
 
Company's present business is organized in two major segments: (i) QUATs and Speciality chemicals; Intermediates & APIs (Marketable Molecules or 'MM Segment') and (ii) Contract Research and Manufacturing ('CRAM Segment') . In each of these segments, Company undertakes 'regular' and 'customized' production.  
 
Regular production is the annual planned production of chemicals, intermediates and APIs marketed by them and their subsidiaries, while customized production is production of chemicals, intermediates and APIs undertaken by the Company based on long-term contracts or agreements entered into with the customers. 

 
To continue the growth rate, the company has adopted various marketing strategies including increase in number of clients to reduce the dependency on one or other client, increase the number of products range to reduce risk of product failure; to enter contract manufacturing through contract research of new molecules etc. and enter the specific market with marketing innovation such as in Japan through establishment of marketing Joint Venture (JV), technology transfer in the developing markets, where technology is licenced to API manufacturer with a stipulation that the intermediates are to be provided from subject on a long term basis. 
 
The break-up of Company's total income from the product segments viz. 'MM Segment' and 'CRAMS segment' for the last three years is as under :

Outlook: 
 
The global market size for Contract manufacturing is estimated at US$ 48 billion growing at 10% per annum. This space has high entry barriers and a long gestation period as there are stringent quality requirements; establishment of long-term relationship, validation etc. which takes 2-3 years without any revenues in the interim. Today, India has a very small share (estimated at US$ 200 mn) of this segment. However, Indian companies have been investing in this space and they believe India will soon be a key player (estimated with a market share of US$ 5 billion in ten years) with its natural cost advantage, chemistry skills, and increased credibility. 

 
To ensure Company's long-term success, the management is focusing on R & D with contract research leading to future manufacturing contracts. Given the pressure on innovators to cut costs and the long lead-time taken to ink a manufacturing deal, they believe there is a high probability that innovators will deal with their research partners for manufacturing as well. Contract Research and Manufacturing (CRAM) business is the core of company's business model and company has undertaken a series of overseas acquisitions, to seize the opportunities in this field. After accomplishing successful small acquisitions of Syprotec DCR Limited, in U.K. and IO3S of Bern in Switzerland, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Dishman Switzerland Limited in January, 2006, the Company has acquired Switzerland-based CarboGen Amcis AG, engaged in process research on APIs and low-volume, high-value API and hypo Potency products manufacturing, in August, 2006. This has already added and will continue to add substantially to the company's consolidated revenue. 

 
Subject is well poised to participate in this growing opportunity. The Company is selling its products in Europe, USA, South Africa, Netherlands etc. through its subsidiaries and has an expanding international portfolio of affiliates, joint ventures and alliances. 

 
Subject has been successful in achieving growth through CRAM business and continues to strive for higher growth by entering into new long-term contracts.

AS PER WEBSITE

 

Subject, is a globally-focused company, involved in the manufacture of APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients), API intermediates, quaternary compounds and fine chemicals. Headquartered in Ahmedabad, India, subject has exports spanning all continents.


subject is a quality conscious, fast growing, R&D intensive organization with a progressive approach. Their continuous progress has been achieved through the skills of their workforce, commitment to new technologies and dedication to good customer service.

Since 1998, subject has diversified its interests to contract research and manufacture sector. Within a short span of 5 years, subject has acheived several contract research and manufacturing projects and is all set to emerge as India’s leading CMO organization (Contract Manufacturing Outsourcing). subject is already established as a respected and preferred outsourcing partner to various pharma majors.

 

 

Their Mission


"At subject they strive to be a dynamic, environment-conscious supplier to the life sciences industry, with a relentless drive to meet the highest quality standards required by the marketplace, with usage of advanced technologies for improved efficiency, cost containment and quality of human life."

 

Subject’s present business is organised into the following segments:

 

 

Established Portfolio

 

Ø       Quats and specialty chemicals

Ø       Intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)

 

Specialized services

 

Ø       Pharmaceuticals Outsourcing

Ø       Contract manufacture

Ø       Contract research

 

 

Quats and specialty chemicals

 

Subject produces diverse quaternary compounds (called “quats”). Quats are used as catalysts to transfer a reactant from one phase to another. In the role of a catalyst, a quat provides the following benefits:

  

Initiates the reaction

 

Decreases reaction time

 

Decreases reaction temperature,

 

Eliminates the use of toxic and carcinogenic solvents

 

Facilitates the separation of non-reacted reactants from products

 

Increased yields through suppression of side reactions

 

Since quats are used in catalytic quantity, the additional cost involved in using the quats is negligible and the benefits are compelling. Quats are classified into short chain quaternary ammonium compounds, long chain quaternary ammonium compounds, quaternary phosphonium compounds, phosphoranes, pyridinium quats and Wittig reagents.

 

 

Strategy for quats and specialty chemical business:

 

In the past subject focused more on volume sales whilst trying to ensure optimum cost of production. This practice resulted in gaining synthetic chemistry skills in the production process, whilst establishing excellent business relationships with key customers in the quats market. Recently, subject changed this focus to develop and produce niche quats that have specialised applications and have higher prices. This ensures that subject’s portfolio of quats does not become “commodities” in nature.

 

The quats produced by subject find multifarious applications as PTCs and in manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, agrochemicals, paints, perfumery aldehydes and flavours, polymers, paper etc. PTCs are chemical substances that improve process time and yield of chemical reactions involving two separate phases such as liquid-solid or gas-liquid. They are integral to reactions like alkylation, oxidation, reduction, displacement, etherification and esterification.

 

Subject has a unique advantage over competitors in quat production owing to its dedicated facilities and longterm experience in establishing and improving technology to manufacture quats at the least possible cost and best possible quality. At Naroda, subject has a dedicated facility for each of the quats and continuous production is undertaken for regular large volumes. They have an impressive customer profile for PTC products in the chemical industry. For quats, the client list included more than 1000 customers including global pharma and agro majors, which are “Blue Chip” household names”.

 

 

Intermediates and APIs

 

Subject graduated from being a leading quats producer to a global supplier of intermediates, APIs and services to the generic pharmaceutical industry, utilizing its ability to handle complex chemistries. Expertise was built up in the development, process optimization, scale-up and cGMP production of intermediates and APIs. Equally, subject is familiar with international intellectual property rights (IPR) and all processes are carefully checked to avoid patent infringement. The experience of subject’s R&D scientists, the competence of its chemists and the flexibility of its GMP facilities, provide to customers products with global quality.

 

Subject’s capabilities include synthesis route selection with respect for patents, laboratory process validation, optimization and verification of the prospects for successful scale-up from bench to commercial quantities. At the plants, production is undertaken in multi-purpose and multiproduct equipment. Final steps of manufacture like purifications, drying and milling are handled in separate departments and are often done with very specific criteria to meet the most demanding customer needs.

 

 

Intermediates

Subject started investing in drug intermediates in 1998, when s PTC customers requested the supply of drug intermediates. In the short period since then, extensive progress has been made in developing customer-specific intermediates. Using PTC knowledge, various fast-moving intermediates have been synthesized and been offered at competitive prices. subject’s drug intermediates business can be subdivided into the following:

 

Ø       Drug intermediates developed by subject and offered to the market

Ø       Drug intermediates that are specifically developed on one or more     customer’s requests. These are either offered exclusively to these customers or to any other markets with the customers’ consent.

 

 

Bulk drugs/APIs

 

Certain niche bulk drugs have been identified. Subject’s better technology, using phase transfer catalysts, and presence in the US and European markets are the key advantages. The intermediates and APIs produced find application in antiseptic formulations, as preservatives in hospital disinfectants, in cosmeceutical preparations and in gastroenteric, cardiovascular and antipsychotic formulations.
