LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

As previous period figures are for fifteen months, the same are not comparable. However, on a year on year basis, for the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company registered 3% growth in consolidated turnover to Rs.37,671 million and 15% growth in standalone turnover to Rs.17,720 million. The Profit before depreciation, interest and tax on a consolidated basis grew from Rs.8,527 million to Rs.9,246 million thereby registering a healthy growth of 40% and profit after tax on consolidated basis was Rs.905 million as compared to a loss of Rs.10,007 million for the corresponding period. On a standalone basis, there was a loss after tax of Rs.1,321 million.

 

FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING

 

The Corporate Debt Restructuring (CDR) has been substantially implemented, save for complete settlement of FCCBs and certain disputed derivatives. The Company’s performance has been better than the projections envisaged under the CDR and the Company is regular in the debt servicing provided under the CDR Scheme.

 

In case of the Zero Coupon Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) issued by the Company, the CDR Scheme had considered the settlement comprehensively. One of the significant holders of the Bonds had accepted the restructuring provided under the CDR Scheme. For other bondholders who did not accept the settlement provided under CDR, subject to they withdrawing the winding-up petition, a settlement was arrived wherein the Outstanding FCCBs were to be exchanged with new FCCBs and the shareholders had also approved the same and consent terms were also signed. However, the Trustees to the bondholders, subsequently disagreed to withdraw the winding-up petition. Subsequently, the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay, admitted the winding-up petition. Pursuant to an appeal filed by the Company the divisional bench of the Hon’ble Bombay High Court has granted an ad-interim relief while requiring the Company to deposit a sum of Rs.1,150 million with the court, which has been complied with.

 

During the year, one of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Viz. Wockhardt France (Holdings) S.A.S and some of its subsidiaries, were placed in a ‘Safeguard’ proceeding under a local administrator, to enable a comprehensive restructuring of the operation and the financial liabilities thereof and the same is under implementation.

 

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

During the year 2010-2011, the Company allotted 130,888,983 Non-Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs.5/- each and 22,386,344 Optionally Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares of Rs.5/- each aggregating to Rs.666.38 millions in terms of approved CDR package dated July 4, 2009. The Authorised Share capital of the Company was increased from Rs.9,250/- millions to Rs.11,250/- millions. There was no change in paid up equity share capital of the Company.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

2010 was a key year for Wockhardt for a number of reasons that included the surge of its USA operations, continued momentum of India operations and increased profitability. Focus on RandD, manufacturing and product availability were the key proponents that ensured organization’s overall successful performance. The company successfully adhered to the terms of the Corporate Debt Restructuring plan which was approved earlier.

 

There was a significant improvement in the financial performance of the company with EBITDA showing an increase of 39.7% to Rs.9,246 million compared to Rs.6,619 million during the twelve months period ending March 2010. The net sales grew by 3.1% to Rs.37,512 million due to lower income from France and Ireland. The company achieved 24.6% EBITDA to sales compared to 18.2% in similar period during 2009-10. The business turnaround helped the company in achieving net profits of Rs.906 million against loss of Rs.9,906 million during the twelve months period ending March, 2010.

 

Key business highlights: Regionwise Sales

 

1. The US business achieved revenues of Rs.10,736 million

2. The European operations achieved revenues of Rs.14,212 million

3. The Indian business achieved revenues of Rs.10,413 million

4. The RoW business achieved revenues of Rs.2,151 million

 

US business – new products introduction

 

Company’s differentiated strategy of developing technologically complex products paid rich dividends as new product launches were the key driver of the USA business. The portfolio of new launches and existing products ensured that the USA operations deliver a highly profitable business growth. The company has ensured strong manufacturing capacities to manage increased market demand in future.

 

Its other subsidiary, Morton Grove Pharmaceuticals, continued on its planned growth path of branded generics and generic products including new launches.

 

The company received 7 US ANDA approvals this year. The company has plans to launch 12 to 15 products in US markets during the financial year 2011-12

 

Indian Operations – entering new therapies and workforce expansion

 

Indian businesses march to the successful performance was lead by strategic decision making in identifying sectors/ therapies of high growth potential and timely dedicating a workforce or task force to ensure product launch and availability. Following this strategy Company launched a new Cardiology division. There was also significant workforce expansion of over 20% in India in order to cover more geographies and markets.

 

That Indian market is also in a high growth mode with 15% growth witnessed last year is another reason for the same. The company achieved a market share of 2.05% (IMS-MAT Mar. 2011) in the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry compared to 1.91% the year before.

 

European Operations – success and challenges

 

European operations were spearheaded by Wockhardt UK whose performance was significantly higher than the market growth in UK and many of its peers. The company is well recognized in UK Healthcare system with a strong Hospital Business and is the largest Indian Pharmaceutical Company and overall 4th largest generic company in UK. The company plans to launch 9 new products in 2011-12.

 

Despite a sluggish Irish economy, Pinewood Healthcare delivered a strong business performance due of the strategic move of bolstering its exports business in addition to the existing strong domestic business. Pinewood maintained its top position in Ireland’s generic products market. It showed a 5.9% growth while the market had de-growth of over 2%. It plans to launch 19 new products in domestic and exports business in the coming year.

 

In France the company lost the patent protection to its key product ART50 which resulted in lower than expected business performance. However the company was quick to take remedial steps towards restructuring the business to minimize the impact and is under safeguard process.

 

In Licensing

 

In-licensing continued to be one of the growth drivers of their business. These in-licensing deals fulfill their aim to develop breakthrough products in India and also strengthen their existing portfolios. They have in-licensing agreements with number of US and Europe based companies through which they are currently marketing 19 products – 11 of these were launched till 2008; 4 launched in 2009 and another 4 in 2010. These belong to therapeutics like dermatology, osteoarthritis, derma-cosmetology and orthopedics; the sectors on which Wockhardt is focusing.

 

Opportunities

 

With the patent expiry of large pool of products, currently worth more than $ 100 billion, coming up by 2015, the markets are going to swing further in emerging markets way as the branded patented product revenues take an impact in regulated markets. Wockhardt is well poised to gain from this opportunity by leveraging its RandD, Sales and Manufacturing capabilities.

 

Their Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology research plans that are currently underway are in line with their developmental strategy and will be a key business driver in the coming future in US and other regulated markets. In US, they have an excellent range of existing products and expect to add a number of new products in the coming year. In Europe, in addition to the geographies where they currently have operations, they will be reaching out to the entire Europe with their products portfolio and manufacturing capacity through their B2B model. India team has planned to enter newer therapies and has developed task forces with clear focus to gain market traction and expand the product portfolio. This in addition to the expansion of sales force will be driving the growth in India. The management has developed expansion plan in manufacturing facilities for key products in Regulated and Indian markets to ensure uninterrupted product supply.

 

Continuing on its vision of “More and More with Less and Less”, Wockhardt produced a strong EBITDA profitability of 24.6% to sales and seeks to improve it further in the coming years.

 

Research

 

The company has a very strong research base with multidisciplinary programs running in Pharmaceutical research, Biotechnology and Drug discovery in India and abroad. At its Research and Development Centers in India, US and Europe the company has made significant investment in operations, facility and talent which has resulted in a strong portfolio of existing products and a strong pipeline of upcoming products.

 

The Pharmaceutical research programs aims at development of technologically complex and patented products. Currently the company has filed over 20 products, whose combined current market value is in excess of $ 20 billion, for approvals and subsequent launched for years 2011 and 2012 and has a strong pipeline of products under development for the coming years. In Biotechnology the company’s focus is on Insulin and its analogs as principal area of research. In India it has already launched one of the Insulin analog Glargine, by the name of Glaritus. In drug discovery program, they are focusing on anti-infective mainly due to the fact that very few anti-infective have come into the market in the past few years. The Drug Discovery program of the company is in advanced stages of product development have received US IND approval for 2 of its products.

 

Challenges

 

A key challenge for company would be the ability to continue to identify and develop products that have a technological edge like complex extended release products. This would be a strategic differentiator from other competitors as more and more product patents expire or are lost. The current ANDA program is designed to cater to these needs and ensure a strong flow of new product offerings to these markets continues. Another challenge would be its ability to control operational costs particularly in regions which have a lower outlook like France and Ireland. The growth of European operations will also depend on the success of the Business to Business (B2B) model in reaching the new markets.

 

The growth of Indian market is very robust. Even though urban market is growing fast, rural market is growing even faster. They have considerably extended their Doctor coverage and Market coverage by significantly increasing their sales force operations.
