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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT:

 

INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE VIS-Ŕ-VIS COMPANY:

 

The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry is currently valued at $20 billion and stands 13th in terms of value. Globally adjudged as the third largest in terms of volume, the sector is remarkably growing at 14% per year. The growth of the sector has been fuelled by exporting life-saving drugs to developing countries and supplying quality drugs to the developed nations at affordable prices. India is also emerging as a world leader in generic pharmaceuticals production, supplying 20% of the global market for generic medicines.

 

The year 2011-12 saw a lot of action and initiatives for the pharmaceutical industry from the Government. The Department of Pharmaceuticals had devised a draft National Pharmaceutical Pricing Policy, 2011 (NPPP- 2011) based on the criteria of essentiality and requirements as stipulated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and had circulated the same among the concerned Ministries/ Stakeholders. The draft Policy envisages bringing the National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) – 2011 and associated medicines under price control. The views/inputs received on the draft NPPP-2011 are being examined by the Ministry.

 

The recent takeovers of Indian companies by MNCs could increase the possibility of other takeovers of Indian companies which would have impact on the Indian health care scenario as well as on pricing and availability of medicines in India. The Department of Pharmaceuticals had requested the Department of Commerce to conduct a study on the recent takeovers of Indian Companies by the MNCs. Department of Commerce has entrusted the task of this study to M/s Ernst and Young. Thereafter, the recommendation could be placed before the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister and/or the Competent Authority.

 

The policy of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in existing Indian Pharmaceutical Companies has also come in for public comments especially on the issue of takeover of existing Indian Pharmaceutical companies by multinational companies. With a view to examine the issues involved in a broader perspectives, Planning Commission has with the approval of the Prime Minister constituted a High Level Committee (HLC) under the Chairpersonship of Shri Arun Maira, Member (Industry), Planning Commission to consider all the relevant aspects.

 

The Planning Commission in their document- “Faster, Sustainable and More Inclusive Growth: An Approach to the 12th Five Year Plan”, aims at raising the total public health expenditure to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the Twelfth Plan. The Government has taken several steps to increase public health expenditure. As per Economic Survey 2011-12, the health expenditure by General Government (Central and State Government combined) as percentage of the GDP is 1.30 in 2011-12.

 

This year, India also touched a milestone of being polio free for one whole year. There is a need to ensure that there is no case of polio infection for the next three consecutive years for India to celebrate eradication of poliomyelitis. As per information furnished by Medical Council of India (MCI), the total number of doctors registered (allopathic) in the country till 31st July, 2011, is 8,56,065 out of which approximately six lac are presently active practitioners. The current doctor-population ratio has been worked out to be approximately 1:2000. A large number of steps have been taken to address shortage of doctors, specialists and faculty in the country.

 

The Government has also launched the National Urban Health Mission to encompass the primary healthcare needs of people in the urban areas.

 

DOMESTIC FORMULATION BUSINESS:

 

The Domestic formulations market, valued at Rs. 482000.000 Millions has grown steadily at CAGR of 14-15% over the past five years. The strong growth has been driven by a confluence of factors including – a) rising household income levels leading to higher expenditure on healthcare, b) increasing prevalence of lifestyle related diseases, c) improving healthcare infrastructure/delivery systems and d) rising penetration in smaller towns and rural areas. As a result, majority of the growth in the Indian market has been driven by expansion in volumes and new product introductions as against prices increases.

 

The competitive pressure in the domestic formulations market has been rising steadily for some time now. While on one hand, this has been prompted by significant increase in investments by other domestic players in marketing efforts through expansion in field force, on the other hand, MNC have also renewed their focus on India.

 

The company continues to make investment in the domestic branded business, particularly with the newer specialty segments. Alembic continues to maintain its market share owing to its strong distribution reach, strong field force and product launches. Alembic’s domestic formulations business registered a growth of 13% over the last year.

 

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS:

 

Subject export formulation business to regulatory markets of US, Canada and Europe recorded a stellar performance during the year to reach turnover of Rs. 2418.000 Millions and registered 39% growth over last year. The Company has filed 7 Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) and 9 Drug Master Files (DMFs) and received approvals for 19 ANDAs. The Company filed its first NDA application in February, 2012.

 

Subject strategy in International Generics is to partner with International Generic companies and leverage on their marketing and sales capabilities. Alembic typically shares the investment and return with the marketing partners and this helps de-risk its ANDA programme and reduces the upfront investment in the development stage. The Company has also had various opportunities of exploring opportunities with other large MNC through their in-licensing deals both for domestic as well as other emerging markets.

 

The Company has a robust product basket with export sales of Rs. 567.000 Millions in 2011-12 in semi regulated market as compared to Rs. 501.500 Millions in the previous year, registering a growth of 13% over the previous year. The Company’s API export in 2011-12 was Rs. 2792.200 Millions as compared to Rs. 1799.000 Millions in the previous year, registering a growth of 55% over the previous year.

 

FINANCE:

 

The Company has registered standalone total revenue of Rs. 13757.300 Millions for the year as compared to Rs. 11650.100 Millions in the previous year. The standalone Profit, before providing for Interest, Depreciation and Taxes, was Rs. 2100.100 Millions for the year as compared to Rs. 1558.100 Millions in the previous year. The Company has made a standalone Profit for the year of Rs. 1205.400 Millions for the year as compared to Rs. 815.100 Millions in the previous year.

 

The Company has registered consolidated total revenue of Rs. 14668.300 Millions for the year as compared to Rs. 12021.300 Millions in the previous year. The consolidated Profit, before providing for Interest, Depreciation and Taxes, was Rs. 2208.500 Millions for the year as compared to Rs. 1603.200 Millions in the previous year. The Company has made consolidated Profit for the year of Rs. 1301.300 Millions for the year as compared to Rs. 853.900 Millions in the previous year.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

With increase in GDP and per capita income, more patients are able to afford organized healthcare. This is very important and advantageous for a company like Alembic which has strength in the acute therapy segments. Alembic has also started the consolidation process for its product line in the lifestyle illness segment and is registering decent growth.

 

The outlook for the Pharmaceutical Industry remains favourable benefitting from healthy growth in the domestic formulations business and steady growth expected in the U.S/Europe generics space on back of patent expiries.

With several drugs going off-patent and big pharma increasing exposure to cost efficient sourcing locations, opportunities remain favourable for Companies like Alembic to provide developmental services and subsequently graduate to commercial scale production.

 

However, the key challenges facing the industry are the potential implementation of the new pricing policy in India, increasing competitive pressure in the chronic segments, aggressive approach such as authorized generics by innovators in the US and healthcare reforms in European markets.

 

With India becoming a hub for manufacturing and research operations, Alembic looks to get significant growth from this area as well. Our manufacturing facilities have passed successful inspections from regulatory bodies from all over the world and testimony to that is USFDA status being confirmed to both API and Solid Dosage facilities. Our research labs are well equipped to develop new products and formulations. Low cost of products and strong Intellectual Property are going to be the two most important drivers in the International Generics Markets. Timely and accelerated quality filling ANDAs / DMFs will be key to Alembic’s success in these advanced markets. Alembic has strived to show excellence in both these areas in development as well as manufacturing. It is a focused approach on these two which will give Alembic’s Future plans a fillip.
