BACKGROUND

 

The Company together with its subsidiaries and associates, operate as an integrated international  pharmaceutical organization with business encompassing the entire value change in the marketing, production and  distribution of pharmaceutical products.

 

The company’s shares are listed for trading on the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange in India.

 

OPERATIONS:

 

During the year ended 31St March, 2011, total turnover achieved by the Company was Rs. 1554.376 millions as compared to previous year of Rs. 1995.621 Millions, i.e., a decrease of Rs. 441.245 Millions  mainly due to sale of the API  business. The year under review has registered a net loss of Rs. 2177.891 Millions as compared to net profit Rs. 28.98 Millions  in the previous year. This is mainly due to loss on the sale of API Business of Rs. 866.388 Millions, provision of redemption  premium of FCCBs of Rs. 901.733 Millions  and provision of  foreign exchange loss on FCCBs of Rs. 236.345 Millions.  Baring the aforesaid constraints, operational performance of the Company mainly international formulation business is improving gradually.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT:

 

The global challenges for the Indian pharma industry at large have increased several folds in the face of the transition  from process to product patent regime in India from 2005  and to face the challenge, the company has continuously  sharpened its focus on R and D, which is the need of the  hour and will continue to commit funds to strengthen R and D  capabilities. In fact, one of the Company’s biggest strength  lies in vibrant and productive R and D function that has  continuously placed Marksans Pharma Limited. ahead through  consistent development of niche technology, processes  and products. The company will continue to invest in  R and D to keep pace with the changing domestic and global  scenario. During the year, the company continued product development and dossier filing in US, Europe and other  emerging markets.

 

DISPOSAL OF API PLANTS

 

Due to severe pricing pressure, foreign exchange fluctuations and rising raw material prices, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) division of the company located at  Kurkumbh, Pune was not performing well. As a measure of  restructuring business model, the Company has, with the  approval of the shareholders, hived off this API division and  a Business Transfer Agreement signed in this regard with  Kores (India) Limited on 28th July, 2010. Consequently, the Company has sold the API business to Kores (India) Limited  in July, 2010 on a slump sale basis, resulting into loss of  Rs. 866.388 Millions .

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

Global Pharmaceutical Market

 

Market challenges of global pharmaceuticals

 

• Recent structural changes in the global pharmaceutical industry has led to outsourcing being a key strategy for improving profitability for innovator companies. These include a) declining productivity, b) rising costs of R and D,  c) looming patent cliff, d) increasing generalization of products coupled with weaker pipelines of innovator companies, e) fewer blockbuster launches, and f) delays in new product approvals.

 

• Major decisive factors for pharmaceutical companies to adopt outsourcing include flexibility, quicker time to-market and lower scale-up costs in order to meet increasing demand for new drugs and focus on core competencies. Outsourcing also helps in the reduction of excess capacity in their manufacturing networks and restructure supply chains.

• Global outsourcing market reported a slowdown in growth driven by factors such as inventory rationalization by global innovators, reduced R and D spending etc., triggered by the recent economic crisis.

 

• However, over the medium to long-term, this market is likely to grow at a CAGR of about 20-25 percent, backed by strong fundamental drivers such as a) increased outsourcing by big pharmaceutical companies; and b) increased traction in the new and high-end services contracts.

 

Asia emerging as a preferred outsourcing hub

 

• The nucleus of outsourcing is fast shifting from western territories of North America and Europe towards Asia. Asia has number of local contract manufacturing players and a significant number of these players have US FDA and GMP certifications.

 

• Asian countries provide significant cost advantage as compared to the western region.

 

• Pharmaceutical companies have already realized the potential offered by these markets with about 32 percent of them preferring Asia for outsourcing.

 

US Generic Market:

 

• There is continued penetration of generics in the US market due to steeply escalating healthcare costs and the impending patent cliff. Large number of patented drugs are going off-patent in the next few years, thereby offering significant opportunities for Indian pharmaceutical players.

 

• The US generic market presents the following advantages for the Indian generics players:

- Approval from US FDA can open up a large USD 35bn market;

- The market is easier to penetrate as it is dominated by ‘generic generics’ compared to branded-generic markets in the emerging world;

- Distribution chain already in place and hence large upfront investments in sales and marketing infrastructure are not required; and

- The gestation period is shorter, as there is no need to build relationships with physicians.

 

• The US market accounts for approximately 40 percent of the global generics market and therefore offers a large scope for scaling up operations.

 

Impending ‘Patent Cliff’

 

• Approximately USD 150bn worth of drugs are expected to go off-patent by 2015. The value of these drugs going off-patent is expected to peak in 2012.

 

• The sale value of drugs going off-patent over the next five years in the us market is approximately double the sale value of drugs that went off- patent in the last five years.

 

• New generics sales are expected to be the key growth drivers in the regulated markets of the US and Europe.

 

• The new generics sales are expected to grow at a CAGR of 22 to 23 percent in the US. However, the existing generics market is expected to grow slowly at a rate of around 3 percent.

 

• This provides a considerable opportunity for generic manufacturers to capture greater generics’ share of the US Parma market.

 

• Additionally, generic companies will also benefit by the US healthcare bill to extend healthcare coverage to Americans who are still uncovered, as part of healthcare reforms. The provisions of the new healthcare bill are expected to provide a big impetus to generic drug manufacturers, globally.

 

• The absorption rate for generics in the US market is thus expected to steadily increase over the next few years.

 

Indian Pharmaceutical Market Indian Pharmaceuticals market is likely to triple over next decade

 

• Growth of Indian pharmaceuticals market is expected to be influenced by:

 

- Doubling of disposable incomes and number of middle class households. If the real GDP grows at a CAGR of 7.3 percent, then per capita disposable income is expected to rise from INR 20,835 in 2005 to INR 34,42511 by 2015. Approximately 27mn households currently in lower income category are expected to move up.

 

- Expansion of medical infrastructure largely through private investments. Number of hospital beds and physicians in the country are expected to double by 2015 (i.e. additional 2 mn beds and 0.4mn physicians).

 

- Greater penetration of health insurance. Currently just about 1 percent of the population is covered by health insurance. Approximately 220mn people are expected to come under heath insurance coverage by 2015.

 

- Rising prevalence of chronic disease. Increased urbanization and rapidly changing lifestyles in urban and semi-urban areas are expected to see increased incidences of chronic diseases which are expected to provide thrust to specialty and super specialty therapies.

 

- Adoption of product patents as patent infrastructure scales up to enable up to 30 approvals annually and an average approval timeframe of two years.

- Aggressive market penetration as several smaller players have surfaced across the country who are catering to mass therapies.

 

Mass therapies will remain critical despite shift towards specialty therapies:

 

• Increasing urbanization and changing work patterns expected to continue leading to rise in stress levels and growing consumption of unhealthy food. As a result there will be significant rise in the number of anti- infective, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and many other related lifestyle ailments. The growing prevalence of lifestyle disorders will spur growth in specialty and super-specialty therapies.

 

• Despite the shift in disease profile, the growth opportunity in mass therapies are expected to remain significant for two reasons:

 

- The gap between prevalence and treatment remains wide in a range of disease spanning anti-infective, gastrointestinal, respiratory and pain management therapies.

 

- Nearly 140mn people are estimated to move above poverty line which should increase the spending on basic healthcare and consumption of mass therapy drugs for acute treatment.

 

Generics to dominate despite increase in share of patent products

 

• If patent related infrastructure is in place and related regulatory issues finalised, then patent-protected products are expected to constitute about 10 percent of the total markets by 2015.

 

• However, currently Indian Patent Act has relatively narrow definition of patentability. Therefore, it is likely that a proportion of post-1997 molecules may not get full patent protection.

 

• Besides strong pipeline of recently launched generic products and products that are undergoing new process  developments, companies have an option of developing new combinations and formulations from a range of approximately 200 products that are pre-1995.

 

Growth prospects of Nuero / CNS therapeutic category

 

• Neurological disorders are age-related. An increasing aging population will drive the growth of the market and hence the R and D.

 

• Further, there are large number of unmet needs which will result in demand for neurological and CNS drugs in future. These include:

 

- Worldwide Alzheimers disease, which affects approximately 24 mn worldwide and expected to reach 40 mn by 2020. Further, current therapy has a modest symptomatic effect and does not significantly modify the course of this progressive neuro-degenerative disorder.

 

- Significant need for an Multiple Sclerosis (MS) treatment with superior efficacy to current therapies with a less invasive and less time consuming route of administration.

 

- An unmet need for primary progressive and secondary-progressive MS indication.

 

-          Need for a reduced dosing frequency or a less invasive therapy with good patient compliance.

 

Oncology market overview

 

• Estimated market size of the oncology segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25 percent by 2014.

 

• Segment level projections are as follows:

 

- Cytotoxics: This segment is estimated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 16 percent p.a. from INR 8,350mn (USD 167mn) to INR 17,340mn (USD 347mn) by FY 2014.

 

- Hormones: This segment is estimated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 19 percent  p.a. from INR 1,200mn (USD 24mn) to INR 2,860mn (USD 57mn) by FY 2014.

 

- Novels and GFs: This segment is estimated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 40 percent p.a. from INR 3,800mn (USD 76mn) to INR  20,550mn (USD 411mn) by FY 2014.

 

• The growth in the oncology market in India is driven by introduction of new treatments, increasing number of patients on chemotherapy and improved access to modern cancer therapies.

 

Indian CRAMS Market

 

• Indian CRAMS industry (both contract manufacturing and contract research together) accounted just about 4 percent of global CRAMS opportunity in 2009.

 

• It is estimated to be about 12 percent of the global CRAMs market in 2012. - Growth in the CRO sector is expected to be greater than the growth in the CMO sector.

 

Indian CMO Market

 

• The CMO market in India grew at a CAGR of approximately 42 percent from 2007 to 2010E.

 

• Formulations outsourcing forms a small part of the Indian CMO sector. However, formulation outsourcing is expected to capture greater market share in the next few years.

 

• Indian CRAMs players have diversified in terms of their product offerings and are building competencies to match the global players such as Lonza, Catalent and DSM Pharma. A few major Indian players include Dishman Pharma, Divi’s Laboratories, Jubilant Qrganosys and Piramal Life sciences.

 

- The players are investing in MNC relationship and have also made some overseas acquisitions to gain access to customers and critical technologies/ capabilities.
