INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

HISTORY

 

The company was promoted by Dr. D. R. Rao and incorporated on 7th January 1984 at Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh having Company Registration Number 4393.

 

Neuland Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Private Limited, a company set up by the same promoters to manufacture bulk drugs was merged with the company with effect from April, 1992. The company manufactures bulk drugs such as salbutamol sulphate, terbutaline sulphate, laberalol hydrochloride and ciprofloxacin.

 

The company came out with its initial public offering in April, 1994 at a premium of Rs. 35 aggregating Rs. 56.900 millions to part-finance the capacity expansion to manufacture bulk drugs and to diversify its product-mix. The cost of the project as estimated by ICICI was Rs. 157.000 millions.

 

During the year 1999-2000, the company introduced Itraconazole, an anti-fungal drug and Ipratropium Bromide, an anti-asthmatic drug and the R and D has developed a process for manufacture of Oflaxacin for Regulatory Markets. The Pashamylaram unit has received USFDA approval for manufacturing of Rantidine Hydrochloride Form.

 

Mirtrazapine, an anti-depressive drug and Ramipril a cardiovascular drug were introduced during the year 2001. The installed capacities of Ciprofloxacin and Rantidine were increased with Rs. 65.000 millions financial assistance from IDBI.

 

Subject is closely working with several companies in Europe and North America for supply of active Pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates.

  

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

Despite the challenges of the global and domestic economy, the Company's revenue for the year was the highest ever at Rs.4540.5 million, an increase of 13% over the previous year revenue of Rs. 4017.6 million, a record being achieved for the second consecutive year. Remarkably, the growth is on a base of 41.2% increase in the previous year.

 

Raw materials as a percentage of income at Rs. 2898.6 million constituted 64.4% of income, while it was lower at 63.3% in 2010-11. With marginal increases in manufacturing and employee costs, the operating margin was lower at 10.7% as against 12.5% reported in the previous year. The operating profit was hence lower at Rs. 483.5 million as against Rs. 499.6 million.

 

Members would appreciate that the year witnessed inflationary pressures which impacted raw material prices, all of which could not be passed on to the customers. The tight money policy followed by the central bank, tended to firm up the interest rates affecting finance costs. The Company incurred finance costs of Rs. 332.7 million, approximately 11.5% higher than the previous year. The higher incidence was despite repayment of Rs. 368.3 million during the financial year, over and above an amount of Rs. 259.7 million repaid in the previous year.

 

The impact of the prevailing external challenging conditions did impact the Company's business, and despite being productivity oriented and raising the level of cost consciousness, the profit after tax was Rs. 20.3 million for the year, lower than Rs. 50.7 million reported in 2010-11.

 

The Company has taken several systemic initiatives which are favourably impacting the efficiencies, profit margins and overall profitability, most of which were visible from the last quarter of the financial year 2011-12. The focus is on what adds value to the customers and optimize results for Neuland. The management is striving to make the transformation enduring while shaping the future.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Neuland has extraordinary assets for growth: The Company's people, products, pipeline and relationship with some of the big pharma companies across the globe. The Company has a common set of values inspired by The Neuland Way and a restructured, streamlined operating model with a commitment to respond to customers, even as it is bottom line focused.

 

There is a increased emphasis on marketing niche products, keeping costs under control and an organization wide culture that seeks to improve the due date delivery of products and services. The high-value products have already started enhancing the revenue stream, while there is a commitment to shed products that tend to lower the contribution. The order book for API is robust with visibility of healthy earnings for several months ahead.

 

While growing the business, the teams are working on thoughtful, disciplined actions to streamline and improve on cost structure, realize savings and de-risk the business. There is substantial progress in increasing the strategic focus of the Company. From early 2012, there is perceptible savings from standardization initiatives, which over the ensuing quarters is likely to manifest in rising free cash flow. Higher margins, lower costs, improved cycle-time on the production floor and lowering of debt are estimated to sustainably enhance the bottom line commencing with the financial year 2012-13.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

 

In spite of difficult market conditions and patent expiry of several blockbuster drugs, the global pharmaceutical markets expanded in recent years. In 2011, the global pharmaceutical market was estimated to have grown by 5-7% year-on-year exceeding USD 880 billion.

 

According to IMS Health Incorporated ('IMS Health'), a leading industry body, the global pharmaceutical market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate ('CAGR') of 5-8% through 2015 to reach market size of USD 1.1 trillion. Going forward, the Asia-Pacific region (primarily comprising India, China, Malaysia and South Korea) is expected to emerge as one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical market globally and also an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) production hub.

 

Increased research and development activities in this region has propelled the growth in pharmaceutical industry to achieve an estimated market size of approximately USD 187 billion in 2009 and according to IMS Health, it is also expected that the emerging markets will grow at a CAGR of 14-17% through 2015, while the developed or advanced markets are expected to grow at 3-6% CAGR during the same period.

 

INDIAN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

 

As per the annual report for 2010-11 released by the Department of Pharmaceuticals, the Indian pharmaceutical industry has grown from a mere USD 0.3 billion (Rs.2370.000 millions) turnover in 1980 to about USD 21.73 billion (Rs.1042090.000 millions) in 2009-10. The country now ranks third in terms of volume of production (10% of global share) and 14th largest by value (1.5%). One reason for lower value share is the lower cost of drugs in India ranging from 5% to 50% less, as compared to developed countries.

 

India is almost self sufficient in case of formulations. The imports are being made on quality and economic considerations and not necessarily non-availability from domestic sources. There is complete freedom to manufacture drugs and pharmaceutical products approved by the drug control authorities. Indian pharma industry growth has been fuelled by exports and its products are exported to a large number of countries with a sizeable share to the advanced regulated markets of USA and Western Europe. India currently exports drug intermediates, APIs, Finished Dosage Formulations (FDFs), bio-pharmaceuticals, clinical services to various parts of the world. The top 5 destinations for Indian pharmaceutical products are USA, Germany, Russia, UK and China.

 

Comparatively low cost of APIs, robust manufacturing capabilities, existence of regulatory approved manufacturing facilities for APIs and formulations and abundant skills available, are the main driving factors for healthy growth of the pharmaceutical industry in India. For Indian bulk drug manufacturers, opportunities are present in two forms: export of non-patented bulk drugs to regulated market of US, Europe and Japan and the contract manufacturing of patent-protected bulk drugs for patent/license holders.

 

OVERVIEW OF NEULAND

 

Neuland is a manufacturer of APIs and a provider of chemistry related contract manufacturing services. Exports account for over 81% of the revenues of the Company, with a very strong global customer base of around 270 customers. The Company was incorporated on January 7, 1984 in Hyderabad and is listed on the BSE and the NSE.

 

The Company manufactures 66 products across various therapeutic segments and holds over 400 DMFs worldwide, having scaled up 300 processes from research to manufacturing. Both the manufacturing facilities located near Hyderabad have been inspected by US FDA, EU, TGA, PMDA and ANVISA. The Unit I manufacturing facility located at Bonthapally, which manufactures Ramipril, Mirtazapine, Enalapril Maleate, Sotalol HCl, Levetiracetam, Levofloxacin and any other APIs, commenced operations in the year 1986 and has an installed capacity of 1,51,000 litres. The Unit II manufacturing facility located at Pashamylaram, which manufactures Ciprofloxacin, Ranitidine and Entacapone commenced operations in the year 1994 and has an installed capacity of 3,10,200 litres.

 

Additionally, while both the manufacturing facilities have in-house R&D centres, the R&D Centre at Unit I is a 40,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art facility, which commenced operations in 2008. The R&D facility is primarily used for process investigation, new products development and contract research and manufacturing services.

 

The major strengths of Neuland are:

 

Focused independent API manufacturer;

Facilities designed to serve regulated markets;

Diversified offering portfolio.

 

The major strategies of Neuland are as follows:

 

To grow organically the API business in the export and domestic markets, by entering into new and niche molecules that have higher entry barriers;

Increase penetration in the contract manufacturing business;

To continue a strengthen the presence in regulated markets, including Japan.

"We are pleased that in the first quarter of the new fiscal year we reported the highest quarterly revenues in Neuland's history, increasing revenues by almost one-quarter compared to the comparable period last year," said D.R. Rao, Chairman and Managing Director of Neuland Labs.  "We also made progress on our commitment to better manage our costs of production and overall expenses, enabling the company to more than double our after tax profits."

Neuland reported EBITDA of $2.83 million (155.71 million INR) in the first quarter of FY 2013, compared to EBITDA of $2.23 million (122.47 million INR) in the comparable period in FY 2012, an increase of 27%.  After-tax profits in the first quarter of FY 2013 were $0.56 million (30.80 million INR), compared to after-tax profits of $0.16 million (8.59 million INR) in the first quarter of FY 2012, an increase of 261%.

 

"In seven of the last eight quarters, we have generated revenues of greater than one billion INRs (more than $18 million), and in the last two quarters our cumulative net profits were greater than $1.6 million.  This consistent growth reflects the success of our new product launches, the increased profitability of our mature products and a significant upsurge in revenues from our contract manufacturing business," noted Sucheth R. Davuluri, Chief Executive Officer of Neuland Labs.  "In addition, during the quarter we were honored when D.R. Rao, our founder and Chairman, was featured in a best-selling new book on India's new age entrepreneurs."

 

Neuland also reported that it is in the process of re-organizing its businesses in order to infuse more capital in a manner that will increase the focus on new product development, reduce costs and further de-leverage the balance sheet, thereby setting the stage for creating additional value for shareholders going forward.  The company intends to provide additional information on these developments in the coming months.

Hyderabad, India – February 10, 2012 – Neuland Laboratories Limited, (NSE:NEULANDLAB; BOM:524558) a pharmaceutical manufacturer providing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), complex intermediates and contract research and manufacturing services to customers located in 85 countries, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2012, ended December 31, 2011.

 

Revenues for the third quarter of FY 2012 were $21.6 million (1.10 billion INR*) compared to revenues in the third quarter of FY 2011 of $19.0 million (968 million INR), an increase of about 13.7%. The increase in revenues primarily reflects gains in sales of the company’s products and services from its API, contract research and manufacturing, and peptides synthesis businesses.

 

Neuland reported EBITDA of $1.85 million (94.50 million INR) in the third quarter of FY 2012, compared to EBITDA of $2.19 million (111.85 million INR) in the comparable period in FY 2011, a decrease of about 15.5%.

The company reported an after-tax loss in the third quarter of FY 2012 of ($0.67 million), (negative 34.00 million INR), compared to after-tax profits of $ 0.82 million (41.59 million INR) in the third quarter of FY 2011. The loss reported in the third quarter of FY 2012 partly reflects non-cash, unrealized losses on foreign exchange rate hedges.

 

“In the third quarter of FY 2012 we reported good sales growth compared to the same period in FY 2011,” noted Dr. D.R. Rao, Chairman and Managing Director of Neuland Labs. “However, rising materials and labor costs, along with non-cash, unrealized expenses primarily associated with managing our foreign exchange needs generated a small loss for the quarter.”

Davuluri, Chief Executive Officer of Neuland Labs. “We intend to continue our strategy of growing both our established and newer lines of business, which build on Neuland’s reputation for quality, service and innovation.”

Hyderabad, India and New Orleans, LA – February 9, 2012 – Neuland Laboratories Ltd., a pharmaceutical manufacturer providing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), complex intermediates and contract research and manufacturing services to customers located in 85 countries, today announced it will launch a mobile app version of its GuarD project management system at the Informex USA 2012 conference.

 

Saharsh R. Davuluri, President of Contract Research at Neuland, will officially launch the GuarD project  management app at an Informex 2012 press briefing at 11:00 am CT on February 15, 2012 in Room 240 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. 

 

Mr. Davuluri notes, “Our GuarD system is a powerful collaborative tool that has helped increase Neuland’s record of on-time production by identifying critical subtasks and enabling team leaders and customers to monitor and track progress at every stage in real-time.  We are now pleased to launch our new mobile phone app that allows our customers and team members to access the capabilities of the GuarD system at anytime and anywhere.”

 

GuarD was developed by Neuland Labs to support the company’s goal of making its manufacturing process completely transparent and an extension of its customers’ resources, while providing them the opportunity to participate fully in project planning and real-time tracking.  GuarD uses the principles of Critical Chain Project Management, which emphasizes resource availability and flexibility to maintain project timelines, rather than requiring rigid scheduling. 

 

In concert with the customer, the Neuland project team creates a detailed project plan that is viewable in an online template.  GuarD allows the team to keep customers completely up to date on the progress of their projects, providing critical information on the latest task updates, expected time of task completion and potential challenges.  A key advantage of the GuarD system is that its detail and interactive nature make it easy to identify and manage delays at any step in the process.  Customers are invited to contribute to solutions based on their experience and priorities.

 

Working closely with customers has been an important commitment of Neuland’s from the beginning.  Yet as Mr. Davuluri notes, “Implementing GuarD represented a major step forward in our ability to bring our customers into the project management process as full participants.  We are now proud to introduce our next advance in customer participation by using 21st century communications technology to provide around-the-clock access to the GuarD system.”

 

Neuland experts also are presenting several talks at Informex 2012:

 

·       Dr. Ponnaiah Ravi, Senior Vice President of R&D at Neuland Laboratories Ltd., will present a TechTalk on Selection Methods for Managing Genotoxic Impurities in APIs at 3:30 pm CT on February 15, 2012 at the Elsevier TechTalks booth #950. 

 

·       Thomas Speace, President and CEO of Neuland Laboratories Inc., will speak on Life Cycle Management at an Informex Breakfast Briefing at 7:30 am CT on February 16, 2012 in Room 260.
