MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS

 

After an year of fragile and uneven recovery in the last half of 2009 and the first half of 2010, global economic growth started to decelerate at a global level in mid-2010.

 

Weaknesses in major developed economies continued to drag the global recovery. The unprecedented scale of the policy measures taken by Governments during the early stage of the crisis had no doubt helped to stabilize financial markets and jump-start a recovery. However, overcoming the structural problems that led to the crisis is proving much more challenging and it seems that it will be a lengthy process.

 

Even in such adverse circumstances during 2010, the Company continued registering an year on year increase in bottom line margin. Also, one of the greatest landmarks in the history of the Company was achieved in 2010 when the Company got listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited.

 

Following are the key highlights of the business of the Company and financial front in the year 2010:

 

• The Company went public on 20th December, 2010 and successfully raised Rs. 3,000 Millions from the capital markets primarily for capacity expansion and prepayment of certain debt.

 

• The Company entered into Russia by obtaining the first registration in this territory in 2010.

 

• The product registrations increased to 1166 and there were 331 product registrations under pipeline as on 31st December, 2010.

 

• The Company obtained registrations for 21 more ANDAs in the United States during 2010.

 

• The long term credit rating was upgraded by Fitch Ratings India Private Limited from BBB+ (ind) to A- (ind) indicating sustainable and strong financial fundamentals along with robust business growth prospects.

 

• The Company received the “Best Place to Work For” award from the Economic Times and was rated the #1 Company to Work For in the Healthcare Sector.

 

Global Pharmaceutical Industry 2011 and onwards

 

The levels of innovation at “Big Pharma” companies are slowing, as players in Europe and the US are increasingly turning their attention to complex products and are even entering the generics market to supplement their growth. Looking at the next five years, investment in long-term opportunities like niche generics is critical; this should support growth as opportunities in plain-vanilla generics recede.

 

The manufacturers of generic drugs will continue to be a strong players for the year 2011 and beyond, largely due to the following reasons:

 

1. Important drug patents of top-selling brands are expiring in the US and EU over 2011-15, offering significant growth opportunities for Indian companies. It is estimated that USD 18 Bn incremental opportunity in the US will arise over this period, of which Indian companies could take approximately 20% market share; the EU opportunity is additional upside.

 

2. India’s pharmaceutical market continues to expand at a robust pace due to favorable demographics and economic growth – a sales forecast at CAGR of 16% over FY10-FY13 is estimated.

 

3. Sales in emerging markets are growing strongly as well. Companies that are well positioned in some of the larger and faster-growing markets like Russia, South Africa, Brazil and Mexico have a huge opportunity at hand.

 

India Market

 

Over the last five years, the Indian domestic formulations market has expanded from USD5 Bn in 2005 to over USD 9.5 Bn (a CAGR of 14%). Most therapeutic areas are growing in double digits on the back of new launches, line extensions and increasing penetration of existing brands in semiurban and rural areas. McKinsey and company estimates suggest that the market will be more than double to USD20bn in 2015 and move into the top

10 pharmaceutical markets globally, implying a CAGR of 12.3%.

 

India is fast becoming awash with lifestyle-related illnesses. Demographic change and unhealthy nutrition and habits are giving rise to new killer diseases. This will provide Indian pharma companies sustainable golden opportunities in specific segments. Firms that are well placed in this space will realize better growth, profitability and returns on capital employed. According to IMS Health, the Indian pharma industry grew 17% YoY to reach USD 9.8 Bn in 2009. Chronic therapies, with their superior growth profiles, are likely to comprise more than 50% of the market by 2020 from the current 31%, and will push up overall growth. With increasing affordability and improving healthcare access, it is also expected that volume growth will rise,especially as domestic firms enhance penetration in tier-I and tier-II cities, while pricing remains a marginal contributor.

 

Emerging Market

 

Emerging markets will present a meaningful opportunity for generic drug sales, especially in countries that have so far seen low generic penetration and have loose price controls. Indian generics that have been successful in the domestic market are likely to use their skills in marketing and branding in some of the similar markets. The focus will be to grab increasing share in these markets and not worry about the competitive scenario that may eventually emerge. On an average, emerging market growth should be in the 15-20% range over the next five years. With a strong track record and sound strategy, Indian companies should be able to achieve 20% growth in this area, especially as they already have a strong presence in some of the key markets like Russia, CIS, Africa and Mexico. Indian generics are replicating their domestic success in these markets

 

Emerging Markets such as the BRIC countries, South Africa, Mexico, Turkey, Poland, Indonesia and Romania, are growing faster than developed markets. According to IMS, a well-known industry research firm, emerging markets like Russia, Brazil and Mexico will increase their share in global pharma from 16% in 2009 to 25% in 2014-15.

 

Over the past decade, as the Indian industry has diversified into formulation exports, non-US/EU markets have contributed to a quarter of incremental sales: as much as the domestic market. For the Indian companies to maintain their 20% YoY sales growth trajectories and the stocks to justify their 18-20x Forward P/E multiples, success in Emerging Markets will be critical. These are fast growing markets,

 

Regulated Market

 

The global generic pharmaceuticals market recorded revenues of around USD 80 Bn in 2009, about 10% of the total prescription pharmaceutical market globally (USD 800 Bn). However, generics growth over the last five years has outpaced prescription pharma growth. The global generics sales CAGR was just above 10% over 2005-09, against 6% for branded pharma. According to industry estimates, sales of generic drugs are expected to grow to over USD 130 Bn by 2015 due to an increase in the number of products (including blockbusters likes Lipitor, Plavix, Nexium and Advair) going off patent and increasing penetration of existing generics in regulated as well as unregulated markets. Generics represent close to 73% of global pharmaceutical volume and this is expected to increase given wide acceptance in big markets like the US and EU. The governments of developed markets with publicly funded healthcare plans want to increase the use of generics in order to cut healthcare costs. In the US alone, 72% of prescriptions are written for generics. However, in the US, in sales terms generic drugs account for just 17%, despite the fact that generics sales have risen three-fold since 2000. (Source: HSBC Global Research Healthcare Indian Pharmaceuticals January 2011) Injectables within Pharmaceutical Industry Generics Investment in drug delivery systems has so far not had a big impact on growth levels, largely because the segment represents a minority share of global pharma sales. However, with blockbuster expiries in oral formulations in regulated markets, increasing emphasis on injectables, they believe this gap in some companies could prove costly for future sustainable growth in generics. Some 70% of generics sales in 2009 were oral products while injectables added another 20%. The remaining 10% came from delivery formulations like nasal, topical, ophthalmic and inhalational.

 

The dominance of oral and injectables is here to stay. Injectables account for 20% of generics. The overall market in injectables as of 2009 is USD 200 Bn, with about 40% of this coming from the US. The market has registered a CAGR of +20% over the last five years. The generic market in injectables is smaller at USD 15 Bn (20% share) but this should increase going forward.

 

The growth in injectables is expected to outpace that in oral preparations as a result of:

 

• Increasing emphasis on shift towards specialty segments like oncology, hormones and blood-related disorders.

 

• Growth in segments like biologics, therapeutic proteins and vaccines, all of which are injectables.

 

• Limited pricing pressure in injectable generics as against plain-vanilla orals.

 

• Injectable oncology patents to start expiring post 2015, just when the opportunity in orals may register a huge decline.

 

The US and EU together account for 90% of the regulated markets in injectables and the US represents nearly half the share in non-biologics injectables. In the non-biological segment, therapy areas like anti infective, anesthetics and cardiovascular are important categories.

 

Opportunities and Threats

 

While healthcare service providers and insurance companies abroad continue to drive prices down, injectable products, because of their higher regulatory standards and the complexity of development or manufacturing process, tend to command higher margins and price stability as compared to oral products. It is therefore expected that this market will continue to attract pharma and biotech companies which will focus on new product

innovation as well as cost-cutting to improve their overall profit margins. With modernization and new hospitals, the number of quality conscious customers who prefer to buy dependable Parenteral products for their modern healthcare setup is steadily rising and will continue to rise for the next few years. Accordingly, the parenteral segment will enjoy excellent growth in the coming years. The key challenge, to emerge successful in this segment, is to provide consistent quality. These trends indicate that over a period of time more players will emerge in this segment either as independent entities or collaboration that will bring new high-end products.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

Overview

 

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1956, and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in India.

 

The total revenues increased marginally by Rs. 83.650 Millions or 1.10% from Rs. 7,594.010 Millions in fiscal 2009 to Rs. 7,677.660 Millions in 2010. Income from net sales also increased marginally by Rs. 88.100 Millions, or 1.18% in fiscal 2010 compared to that in fiscal 2009. This increase was due to increase in export sales. The income from net sales in Domestic market has decreased by Rs. 216.240 Millions, or 6.42% in the fiscal 2010 compared to that of 2009. This decrease is primarily on account of the continuing reduction in sales efforts for certain of the low margin products. However, niche/specialty injectables portfolio, continued to accelerate on the back of introduction of new products and increasing market share. Post the FDA issue, the company has shifted the business strategy to concentrate on the base business (hospital care) as well taking into account the robust growth of hospital beds in India. Going forward, both the base business and the specialty injectables business would be important growth drivers for them.

 

The incomes from net sales in international market increased significantly by Rs 304.340 Millions, or 7.48% in fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. The export revenue, as a percentage of net sales stood at 54.71% in fiscal 2009 which increased to 58.12% in 2010. Even though the Company faced with an import alert and warning letter imposed by the USFDA, the Company overcame the adversities by increasing its sales to countries other than the

United States, thus ensuring achievement of growth targets in the exports market.

Claris Lifesciences Limited Gets UK Regulator's Clearance For India Plant-DJ

Aug 01, 2011


Dow Jones reported that the U.K.'s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or MHRA, has given regulatory clearance to Claris Lifesciences Limited's factory in Ahmedabad in western India. The approval will allow Claris to again start selling in the European Union some of its drugs that are packaged in bags, the Indian company informed the stock exchanges.

The U.S. FDA had last November banned Claris's products after finding violations of manufacturing standards at the company's factory in Ahmedabad.

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

India, Aug. 02 -- Indian equity indices drifted lower and are trading with a negative bias in absence of any significant upside triggers with investors lacking conviction to hold on to their positions amid the growing uncertainty over global economic growth prospects especially at a time when major industrialized economies are indicating decline in manufacturing activity. Market participants were seen selling up the positions in Realty, Bankex and Metal sector. Stocks like Gujarat Auto, Surana Industries, Indraprastha Gas, Wabco TVS India, Nicco Parks and Rainbow Papers hit new high while stocks like FCS Software, Ramsarup Industries, Ackruti City, Cambridge Technology, SEL Manufacturing, Indiabulls Securities, Onmobile Global, Thinksoft, Claris Lifesciences, Punjab and Sind Bank and Sanghvi Forgings hit new low. Also RIL was seen under pressure after Oil Ministry informed Parliament about RIL's KG-D6 gas field output at 48.60 mmscmd in Q1 against projected 70.39 mmscmd. Heavy activity was been noticed in cement companies like Ambuja Cement, ACC, UltraTech Cement and JP Associates. Ambuja Cements shipments in July rose 14 percent from a year ago to 1.7 million tonnes. The company, in which Swiss cement maker Holcim holds about 46 percent saw production in July rising to 1.67 million tonnes from 1.41 million tonnes a year earlier. ACC shipments in July rose 28 percent from a year earlier to 2 million tonnes. The company, in which Swiss cement maker Holcim holds about 46 percent saw production in July rose to 2.03 million tonnes from 1.55 million tonnes a year ago. UltraTech Cement's production for the month of July 2011 has rose by 7.3% at 30.98 lakh million tonnes and dispatches jumped by 7.4% at 31.33 lakh million tonnes over July 2010 while Jaiprakash Associates, infrastructure major registered cement sales at 14.47 lakh tonne in July against 12.21 lakh tonne in the same month last year recording a growth of 18%. On the global front, Asian markets are trading in red while the European markets too were trading in red on pessimistic note. Back home, the NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex were trading below their psychological 5,500 and 18,100 levels, respectively. The market breadth on the BSE was negative in the ratio of 669:2063 while, 111 scrips remained unchanged.Moreover, shares of telecom companies like Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communication, Idea Cellular and MTNL were seen under pressure after the Telecom Commission, the apex decision-making body of the Department of Telecom, has given its nod to imposing a uniform license fee of 8.5 percent on all telecom operators. Operators currently pay between 6 percent and 10 percent of their annual revenues as license fee. Though the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India had recommended bringing down the license fee to a uniform 6 percent, a panel set up by the DoT pegged this at 8.5 percent in order to protect Government income while Fertilizer shares including Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers, National Fertilizers, Chambal Fertilizers and Nagarjuna Fertilizers and Chemicals rallied after reports emerged that the Committee of Secretaries (CoS) are expected to meet Finance Minister (FM) on urea deregulation on August 5.The BSE Sensex is currently trading at 18,062.96 down by 251.37 points or 1.37% after trading as high as 18,283.55 and as low as 18,037.87. There were 4 stocks advancing against 26 declines on the index.The broader indices were trading on weak note; the BSE Mid cap index plunged 1.75% and Small cap sank 1.66% respectively.� On the BSE sectoral space, there were no gainers while Realty down 2.46%, Bankex down 1.90%, Metal down 1.76%, FMCG down 1.68 and TECk down 1.61% were the major losers on the index.The top gainers on the Sensex were NTPC up by 1.50%, Cipla up by 1.13%, ONGC up 0.26% and HUL up 0.08%.On the flip side, JP Associates down by 5.15%, RCOM down 3.90%, SBI down 2.87%, ITC down 2.73% and Sterlite Industries down 2.47% were the major losers on the index.Meanwhile, due to stubbornly high inflation and Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) continues rate hikes, the Indian manufacturing sector fell for the third month in row in July and reached to 20 month low level. As per the HSBC Markit Business Activity Index based on the survey of 500 companies declined to 53.6 in July, from 55.3 in June, this moderation is due to uncertainty in global demand weighed on orders and production growth. However, the HSBC Markit Business Activity Index remained above the 50 mark which separates growth from contraction for the 28th successive month. The HSBC Markit Business Activity Index for the month of July showed the weakest growth since late 2009 and indicated the dampening of demand from key markets like US and Eurozone, which are suffering from their own respective debt crises.��� The growth of Indian economy is coming under pressure partly because of uncertainty in global economic condition, but mainly due to RBI's nonstop hike in its key policy rates to check stubbornly high inflation. Last month RBI increased its short tern lending and borrowing rates by 50 basis points. However, government expects that this is not an end of policy tightening cycle, as headline inflation is still hovering near by the double digit figures. The other indicators such as, Index of Industrial production (IIP) and eight core industries are showing signs of moderation in the Asia's third largest economy. IIP growth for the month of May stood at 5.6% which is slowest in nine month and the Index of Eight core industries having a combined weight of 37.90% in the IIP, for the month of June stood at 5.2%. The Indian economy registered a five quarter slowest growth in the last quarter of 2010-11 it grew by 7.8%.� The HSBC Markit Business Activity Index showed that the input prices increased sharply in July, on account of higher raw material cost, making manufacturing charging more for their product. The sub-index for the input and output prices remained at elevated levels.� On the other hand, it also indicated the first increase in Indian manufacturing sector employment for nine months. Labour shortages have restricted firms' ability to fill vacant positions in recent survey periods. The increase in staffing levels suggested that the lack of suitable workers had alleviated to an extent, but the rate of job creation was modest, with the majority of respondents indicating no change in employment at their units since June.By commenting on the India's Manufacturing PMI survey Leif Eskesen, Chief Economist for India and ASEAN at HSBC said, "The momentum in the manufacturing sector eased further in July as sequential growth in output and new orders slowed, although employment picked up. In turn, backlogs of work grew less fast and supplier delivery times shortened". On the inflation front, input costs and output prices accelerated. These numbers confirm that inflation pressures remain firmly in place despite the ongoing moderation in growth. The RBI will, therefore, have to maintain its tightening bias for a while still to anchor inflation expectations, Leif Eskesen added.The SandP CNX Nifty is currently trading at 5,442.35, lower by 74.45 points or 1.35% after trading as high as 5,496.30 and as low as 5,433.65. There were 10 stocks advancing against 38 declines while 2 stocks remained unchanged on the index.The top gainers of the Nifty were NTPC up by 1.47%, Cipla up by 1.08%, Kotak Bank up 0.95%, Ranbaxy up 0.69% and ONGC up 0.62%. On the flip side, JP Associates down 5.09%, RCOM down 3.95%, IDFC down 3.03%, SBI down 2.89% and ITC down 2.80% were the major losers on the index.Asian markets traded with significant losses, Shanghai Composite slipped 0.91%, Hang Seng declined 1.07%, Jakarta Composite shed 0.74%, KLSE Composite fell 0.20%, Nikkei 225 plunged 1.21%, Straits Times sank 1.24%, Seoul Composite got clobbered by 2.35% and Taiwan Weighted plummeted 1.34%.The European markets were trading in red, with France's CAC 40 eased 0.48%, Germany's DAX shed 0.61% and London'sFTSE slipped 0.34%.
