The company is steadily moving on high growth trajectory and shall continue its journey of profitable growth. The Company continues to focus on cost optimization and efficient working capital management. The continuous growth momentum carried forward during the current year has helped the company in significantly improving its operational performance.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL SCENARIO:

 

The size of the global pharmaceuticals market, $727 billion in 2009, is expected to grow at compound annual growth rate of 5-8% over the next five years.  It may grow nearly $300 billion over the next five years to reach reaching $1.1 trillion in 2014. The growth  during  these  coming  years reflects  the  impact  of  leading products  losing  patent  protection  in developed  markets  however strong overall growth in the  world's  emerging countries.

 

The 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 and subsequent entry of lower-cost generic alternatives. Over the next five years, products with sales of more than $142 billion are expected to face generic competition in major developed markets.

 

The  demand  for pharmaceuticals will remain robust,  despite  the  ongoing economic   downturn  being  felt  in  many  parts  of  the  world. Global pharmaceutical sales is expected to grow at 4 - 6 percent in the year 2010, as against around 5.7% growth rate in 2009 and 4.8 percent in 2008.  In publicly funded healthcare plans in developed markets, pressure by  payers to  curb drug and spending will further intensify. However it shall be more than offset by the ongoing and rapid expansion of demand in  the  emerging pharmaceutical markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China, Turkey, Mexico  and South Korea.

 

Geographic  balance of the pharmaceutical market continues to shift  toward emerging  pharma markets. These emerging markets are expected to grow at  a 14 -17 percent till 2014, where as major developed markets will grow 3 -  6 percent.  As  a result, the aggregate growth till 2014 from  these  markets will be similar to the growth experienced in developed markets in the range of $120 - $140 billion. In the past five years emerging pharma markets have shown  an aggregate growth of $69 billion against aggregate growth of  $126 billion by the developed markets.

 

The  expansion  of therapy areas shall be driven by  innovation  cycle  and areas  of  un-covered need. 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

 

The   pharmaceutical   industry,  especially  the   generics   market,   is increasingly becoming highly competitive. This, coupled with the drying  up of  pipelines  of innovator companies is leading to  consolidation  in  the generics  and  innovator  industry. It has a resulted  into  a  new  hybrid business model between innovator and generic companies.

 

MOREPEN'S STRATEGY:

 

The delivery of high quality drugs, formulations and diagnostic products at low  and  competitive  prices  has helped  the  company  in  recording  the profitable growth in business during the year.

 

All  the business streams have shown great potential, with API taking  lead and  maintaining its leadership position in the company. The company's  API business continues to file new DMFs (Drug Master Files) to make the product portfolio  broad based and grab any opportunity up coming on its  way.  New API products introduced in the recent past have shown good results.

 

The  company  is  cementing  its knowledge,  in  technical  and  regulatory matters,  for availing of business opportunities both for supply  of  API's and the intermediates to multinational as well local generic companies.

 

OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD

 

GLOBAL MARKETS

 

ACTIVE PHARMA INGRIENDS (API):

 

Outlook  for the global generics industry continued to be positive.  It  is expected to witness significant growth on account of opportunities  arising from  the  USD 80 billions drugs going off patent in the  next  two  years, increasing   healthcare  burden  in  developed  economies  and   increasing healthcare  costs  in developing economies, where  generic  pharmaceuticals generally  have  an edge over the innovator companies, due to  lower  price structure and better reach.

 

In  recent  times, pharmaceuticals industry has shown a great  interest  in India,  due  to  its sustained economic growth,  health  care  reforms  and patent-  related legislation. India being one of the largest  producers  of pharmaceuticals   across   the  world  is  already  a  US$   10.8   billion pharmaceutical market. The Indian Pharmaceutical Sector will remain  stable in  2010, with demand benefiting from rising global acceptance  of  generic pharmaceuticals. It is expected to grow by 10% in 2010 and market size will double by 2015.

 

Regulatory steps taken by developed countries towards curtailing growing health care budgets are expected to boost the demand for the generics. Further acceptance of generics with outsourcing of manufacturing by global pharmaceutical companies to low cost locations will benefit the export oriented Indian pharmaceutical companies.  Steady demand growth   will continue to give advantage to the domestic pharmaceutical companies of India.

 

PATENTS FILING:

 

The company remains committed in building its IPR (Intellectual Proprietary Rights)  portfolios  to stay competitive in the market place.  During  this year  the  company has filed 2 new patents which have taken  the  tally  of patents filed by the company to 49. The company has been granted patents of 'Amorphous Atorvastatin' in US and Canada.

 

DOMESTIC MARKETS

 

FORMULATIONS

 

Rx MARKETING:

 

The company continues to expand its formulations business by adding new formulations and new therapeutic categories. It has also expanded its sales and marketing teams to service larger territories.

 

PRODUCT CONTRACT MANUFACTURING (PCM):

 

The Company has done more business during the year in the field of third party manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products under its own brand name. As the business model involves no additional outlay of working capital facilities, therefore the company is able to optimally utilise its production facilities and also earn good revenues.  The company   is successful in leveraging its brand name for outsourced products and servicing wide range of therapeutic areas.

 

OUTLOOK ON THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS:

 

The performance contribution of pharmaceutical drugs is almost the lowest in the past five years. On account tighter norms for drug approval for new products and rigidity in quality controls, the current drugs are still the main contributor to the performance of large pharmaceutical companies. However over reliance of large pharmaceutical companies on blockbuster drugs have brought great troubles and setbacks.

 

Large scale efforts on the cost-cutting front have already been started and should these efforts shall continue throughout the year. Pricing pressures because of greater-than-expected increase in competition could moderate the anticipated profitability improvements. This would remain a key risk factor for future margins.
