MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

Industry Structure and Developments

 

Global Vaccine Industry

 

Vaccines are important preventive medicines for primary health care and are a critical component of a nation's health security. The Vaccines have emerged as one of the most lucrative segment in the global pharmaceutical industry. The global market for vaccines is expected to grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of more than 13% in the next five years and is expected to reach USD 36 bn by 2013, as per various industry estimates. The vaccine industry will emerge as the fastest growing prophylactic/therapeutic area. While U.S. and Europe represent the two largest vaccine markets and will continue to experience healthy growth in future, at the same time developing markets with over 124 million birth cohort will become key growth drivers.

 

Presently, Pediatric vaccines dominate the global vaccines market and growth in this segment is expected to continue in future. At the same time, the share of adult and therapeutic vaccines is likely to increase and will continue to fuel the future growth in the global vaccines market. Successful development of vaccines against infectious diseases like Pandemic Flu, Pneumonia, Dengue, HIV, rotavirus and cervical cancer in addition to the Hexavalent pediatric combination vaccines would add to the growth of the vaccine industry. Immunization is a cornerstone of public health programs and serves as a platform for other interventions. These programs have been sustained for decades, even through war and conflict. In one of the greatest successes in public health history, smallpox was eradicated by immunization campaigns in 1979, and polio eradication is now within reach.

 

 

Each year approximately 25 million infants do not receive the necessary immunizations, and at least 2.4 million children die from vaccine-preventable diseases — approximately 14 % of deaths in children under 5 years of age. 14 millions survive, but are left severely impaired. The long-term effects of these childhood illnesses limit the ability of those who survive to become educated, to work, or to care for themselves or others. The WHO and The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have taken a number of measures to boost the awareness and access to vaccines in their efforts to meet the challenges in global immunization. One such program launched in 2005 is the Global Immunization Vision and Strategy (GIVS). In brief, GIVS aims to assist countries to immunize more people, from infants to seniors, with a greater range of vaccines. GIVS is the first ever global ten year framework to fight vaccine-preventable diseases through immunization and covers the period 2006 to 2015.

 

INDIAN VACCINE MARKET

 

India represents one of the fastest growing vaccine markets in the world. India is among the major buyers and manufacturers of vaccines, locally as well as globally, and has traditionally aimed at self-reliance in vaccine technologies and production. The Indian Vaccine market is currently at the centre of attraction for all leading pharmaceutical majors. Now, the vaccine market is registering growth rates much faster than the conventional pharma market. As many blockbuster vaccines are going to hit the market in near future, the growth is expected at a much faster pace. Though market analysis has identified pediatric vaccines as the largest constituent of the vaccines segment, the future holds promise for adult, therapeutic, influenza and cancer vaccine segments as well.

 

Presently, domestic companies dominate the vaccines market covering around seven out of top 10 players. But with India’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) laws improving considerably and healthcare expenditure increasing, foreign companies have now begun to acknowledge India’s potential as a vaccine hub. Taking into consideration the factors like increasing public and  private healthcare spending, birth of around 24 million babies each year and a large prevalence of both infectious and chronic diseases, the domestic demand for vaccines in India will continue to grow at a significant rate, offering vaccine players enough opportunities to expand their horizon in the country.

 

Along with the improvements in the domestic market, India has also emerged as a centre for exports. Exports presently account for more than 50% of the country’s vaccine market and with growing investment by both domestic and international players, India is expected to fulfill the vaccine demand of both developing and developed countries.

 

Polio Eradication in India

 

The goal of Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is to ensure that no child will ever again know the crippling effects of polio. There is no cure for polio, but the disease can be prevented by immunization with polio vaccine.

 

Alarmed that polio remained entrenched in the four countries that had never stopped transmission, and that an increasing number of polio-free areas were becoming re-infected, in May 2008 the World Health Assembly (WHA) called for a new strategy to complete polio eradication.

 

The new Global Polio Eradication Initiative - `GPEI Strategic Plan 2010-2012’ builds on the special 2009 Programme of Work and incorporates the myriad lessons learnt since the GPEI began. The multi-year planning process of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) was subsequently replaced with a one-year 2009 Programme of Work which examined the major barriers to interrupting Wild Polio Virus (WPV) transmission in each of the remaining endemic areas (through an Independent Evaluation); fast-tracked the development and clinical trials of four new vaccines or vaccine approaches; and assessed new approaches to reach children previously missed by vaccination efforts due to weak operations management, insecurity or other factors. Though the number of Polio cases in India have reduced significantly from 1,934 in 1998 to 741 in 2009 and 25 till June, 2010 (source: www.npspindia.org), as per WHO guidelines, a WHO region can be certified polio free only if it does not record any case of polio during three consecutive years; following the year; in which zero case is registered first time. Assuming that India achieves zero case for the first time in 2011 and thereafter, if it does not record any case of polio in 2012, 2013 and 2014, India can achieve its target of becoming polio free and become eligible for being declared as a polio free nation by WHO. However, immunization activities will continue until the entire region (including Pakistan and Afghanistan) becomes polio free.

 

Global Pharmaceutical Market

 

As per IMS, the global market for pharmaceuticals is expected to grow nearly USD 300 bn over the next five years, reaching USD 1.1 trillion in 2014. The 5-8% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) during this period reflects the impact of leading products losing patent protection in developed markets, as well as strong overall growth in the world’s emerging countries. Global pharmaceutical sales growth of 4-6% is expected in 2010. In 2009, the market grew 7% to USD 837 bn, compared with a 4.8% growth rate in 2008.

 

Patient demand for pharmaceuticals is expected to remain robust, despite the ongoing effects of the economic downturn being felt in many parts of the world. In developed markets with publicly funded healthcare plans, pressure by payers to curb drug spending growth will only intensify, but that will be more than offset by the ongoing rapid expansion of demand in the emerging markets. Net growth over the next five years is expected to be strong - even as the industry faces the peak years of patent expiries for innovative drugs introduced 10-15 years ago and subsequent entry of lower-cost generic alternatives.

 

As the pharmaceutical industry’s research and development programs adjust to the broad availability of low-cost generic options in many chronic therapy areas, higher growth will occur in those therapy areas where there is significant unmet clinical need, high-cost burden of disease, and innovative science that can bring new treatment options to patients. In the areas of oncology, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and HIV, annual growth is expected to exceed 10% through 2014 as new drugs are brought to market, patient access is expanded and funding is redirected from other areas where lower-cost generics will be available.

 

Geographic balance of the pharmaceutical market continues to shift towards emerging countries. Emerging markets are expected to grow at a 14-17% pace through 2014, while major developed markets will grow 3-6%. As a result, the aggregate growth through 2014 from emerging markets will be similar to the growth experienced in developed markets - about USD 120-140 bn. This compares to aggregate growth over the past five years of USD 69 bn in emerging markets and USD 126 bn in developed markets. The U.S. will remain the single largest market, with 3-6% growth expected annually in the next five years and reaching USD 360-390 bn in 2014, up from USD 300 bn in 2009.

 

The pharma market world over will experience significant shifts. Asia-Pacific region will emerge as the fastest growing pharmaceutical market over the recent past. Here, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 12.6% during 2010-2012. It can, in fact, become the global API production hub in next few years.

 

Pharmaceutical sales are growing at a fast rate in India, China, Malaysia, South Korea and Indonesia due to the rising disposable income, several health insurance schemes, fastgrowing medical tourism and intense competition among top pharmaceutical companies in the region that has boosted the availability of low cost drugs. As a result of the pharmaceutical industry’s increased focus on these high-growth markets, the developing countries are benefiting from greater government spending on healthcare and broader public and private healthcare funding - which is driving greater access to, and demand for, innovative medicines. The pharmaceutical industry has, in the recent past, seen a trend of alliances and deals between innovators and generic companies creating a collaborative business model. The generic partner gets access to rich product pipeline under development and the research capabilities of the innovator while the innovator benefits from lower R and D costs and makes a faster entry into emerging markets through the generic partner, hence realizing higher gains from existing portfolio. With competitive advantages in terms of R and D, manufacturing and marketing, Indian companies are today in a strong position to partner with innovator pharmaceutical companies.

 

Indian Pharmaceutical Market

 

The pharmaceutical industry in India is among the most highly organized sectors and is one of the fastest growing and the safest sectors in Indian economy. This industry plays an important role in promoting and sustaining development in the field of global medicine. Due to the presence of low cost manufacturing facilities, educated and skilled manpower and cheap labour force, the industry is set to scale new heights in the fields of production, development, manufacturing and research.

 

The Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM) is the third largest in world in terms of volume and ranks 14th in terms of value at over Rs.1.0 trillion and by 2015, it is slated to be amongst the top 10 overtaking Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey. The incremental 14 bn USD which it is expected to add, will be the third largest, next only to US (200 bn USD) and China (23 bn USD). The Indian Pharma market is slated to be a high growth market growing at 14-18% every year for the next 10 years. The market is expected to grow from 6.3 bn USD in 2005 to 20 bn USD in 2015 which implies CAGR of around 12.3%.

 

One of the major factor contributing the growth of Indian Pharma market is the increasing prevalence of the chronic diseases. The prevalence of Diabetes will rise from 2.8% in 2005 to 3.7% in 2015; Coronary Heart Disease from 3.3 to 4.9%; and Obesity from 1.3 to 2.7%. The population with Hypertension is expected to grow by another 50 mio cases over the next decade.

 

The growth of the Indian pharmaceutical industry has been fuelled by exports. Exports of pharmaceuticals have consistently outstripped imports. India exports drug, intermediaries, active pharmaceutical ingredients, finished dosage formulations, biopharmaceuticals and clinical services. The top five destinations for such exports are U.S., Germany, Russia, U.K. and China. Several units are approved by regulatory authorities in U.S. and U.K.

 

Industry Structure

 

The Indian Pharmaceutical sector is highly fragmented with more than 20,000 registered units, severe price competition and government price control. The leading 250 pharmaceutical companies control around 70% of the market with market  leader holding nearly 7% of the market share. The pharmaceutical industry in India meets around 70% of the country’s demand for bulk drugs, drug intermediates and pharmaceutical formulations. Today over 90% of medicine consumed in India is produced domestically.

patients.

During the year, the Company’s pharmaceutical formulation business clocked export sales of Rs. 292.9 million as compared to Rs. 426.1 million during previous financial year.

Notes:

1          The above financial results were reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board and approved by the Board of Directors at their meetings held on 27th January, 2011 and 28th January, 2011, respectively.

2          The Statutory auditors have also carried out limited review of these results and have given their observations in their report in respect of para 8(i), (ii) & (iii) below.

3          Tax expense includes provision for income tax and deferred tax.

5          During the quarter, the Company has paid Rs.14.101 Millions towards call money in respect of shares held in its Indian subsidiary, Umkal Medical Institute Private Limited and provided a loan of US$ 400,000 (Rs.18.101 Millions) to its overseas Wholly-owned Subsidiary namely Rees Investments Limited.

6          During the quarter, the Company's WOS viz. Best On Health Limited has acquired 100% stake in Best on Health Foods Limited by investing Rs.0.500 Million.

7          The Company has bought back and extinguished 5,592,000 Equity Shares at an average price of Rs.196.39 per share by utilising an amount of Rs.1098.202 Millions under its Buy-back offer closed on 15th October, 2010. The Company's paid-up capital after such extinguishment of 5,592,000 Equity Shares is Rs.61,250,746.

8          As regards the Auditors’ observations in their report on the Audited Accounts for the Financial Year 2009-10:

i) With regard to non-provision of proportionate premium on redemption for outstanding portion of US $ 50 million Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds (US $ 36.8 million), the management is of the opinion that the bonds are redeemable only if there is no conversion of Bonds earlier, the likelihood of which cannot be ascertained presently. Hence, the payment of premium on redemption is contingent in nature, the outcome of which is dependent upon uncertain future events. Therefore, the same has been disclosed as a contingent liability in the Annual Accounts for earlier years. Accordingly, the proportionate premium on said Bonds during the quarter ended December 31, 2010, amounting to Rs.42.001 Millions has also not been provided. The total unprovided redemption premium for period upto December 31, 2010 amounts to Rs.685.491 Millions. Further, in the eventuality of Bonds not getting converted, premium on redemption shall be adjusted out of the Securities Premium Account and would not have any consequential impact on the Profit & Loss Account.

ii) With regard to capitalization of expenditure on clinical trials for the purpose of registration of Company’s product in US and / or Europe, the management believes that these products would be commercially viable and there is no reason to believe that there is any uncertainty that may lead to not securing registration for the products from the regulatory authorities. An amount of Rs.3.591 Millions towards above said expenditure on clinical trials during quarter ended December 31, 2010, has also been capitalised on similar grounds. The total amount of such capitalisation upto December 31, 2010 is Rs. 502.055 Millions.

iii) With regard to payment of managerial remuneration of Rs.38.170 Millions during Financial Year 2008-09, in excess of limits prescribed under Section 198 and 309 read with Part II of Schedule XIII of the Companies, Act, 1956, without obtaining Central Government approval, the Company sought approval of the Central Government for such remuneration. While the approvals to the extent of Rs.14.619 Millions of excess remuneration in respect of Joint Managing Directors have already been received, the requisite approvals for waiver of balance amount of excess remuneration of Rs.23.551 Millions are awaited.

9          CARE has assigned 'CARE A-'(Single A Minus) to Long-term Bank Facilities, 'PR2+' (PR Two Plus) to the Long-term/Short-term Bank Facilities and 'PR1' (PR one) to the CP/Short term NCD (within working capital limits from the Banks).

10         Status of Investors' complaints [in nos.] during the quarter, pursuant to clause 41 of listing agreement: Opening [0]; Received [3]; Disposed [3]; Closing [0].

11         The necessary certificate in respect of above Results in terms of requirement of clause 41 of the Listing Agreement, has been placed before the Board of Directors.
