Subject is a well established company having a moderate track record.

However, trade relations are fair. Business is active. Payments are reported as slow.

 

The company can be considered normal for business dealings with great caution.

OVERVIEW

 

The company's performance on consolidated basis registered modest growth in terms of top line. During the year, the turnover has grown up slightly by 1.42% to Rs.15570.41 MN. whilst profit before tax has declined by 24% to Rs.1941.90 MN. On standalone basis, there was also significant dip in the Turnover and profitability. This happened because of strategic shifting of business during the year to subsidiaries abroad resulting in growth in consolidated performance.

 

The Global meltdown, turbulent economy, high foreign currency volatility, increasing debt cost are the major factors amidst others that severally affected Company's overall performance during 2011.

 

However, their aim through the year was to provide world-class healthcare services to all the customers throughout the world while increasing both their customer base and ability to provide blockbuster products at affordable prices to this growing customer base. Along the way, they received accolades for their work from within the country an internationally. They are proud to say that company's Kandla SEZ Unit has been awarded highest export award for the year 2009-10.

 

Today, company has transformed business globally to leverage Plethico's financial and technical skills, open new vistas for the enterprise and the energetic talent and to create new values worldwide.  And during this process, Plethico has nurtured relationship across the entire range of customers, business partners, techno-economic consultants, stakeholders, which helps the company to understand pertinent issues, develop business, enhance shareholders values and manage risks better. It is the relationship and trust that make the Plethico more robust, resilient and sustainable.

 

SUBSIDIARY AND OTHER BUSINESS ALLIANCES

 

The company has adopted a completely different path of acquisition and buyouts to carve a unique niche in highly

growth-ended regulated and semi regulated markets worldwide. The recent acquisitions enabled the company to ride on new opportunities that would have taken years to start from scratch. Such acquisitions have begun yielding benefits in different ways that go beyond size and scale.

 

Apart from subsidiaries and step-down subsidiaries, the Rezlov Group of Companies in which company currently hold 45%equity stake, also contributed significantly in the growth of the organization. Tricon, a Dubai based retail pharmacy chain in which company holds 20% stake also strengthened Company's clench in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets of the CIS.

 

The tax-efficient structure of subsidiaries, step-down subsidiaries and business alliances created by the company worldwide has given a strong foothold to the company across the globe.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

NUTRACEUTICAL MARKET

 

Nutraceuticals can be broadly categorised as products, extracted from natural sources (nature-like) or manufactured synthetically (man-made), which supplement the diet to provide nutrition over and above regular food and help prevent nutrition related disorders. Nutraceuticals are products that provide health and medicinal benefits, including the prevention and treatment of diseases in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foodstuff. Nutraceuticals are particularly of interest to the present generate because they have the potential to substantially reduce the expensive, high-tech, disease treatment approaches presently being employed in Western healthcare. Primarily used in functional foods and dietary supplements, nutraceutical ingredients are natural bioactive, chemical compounds that have health promoting, disease preventing or medicinal properties.

 

Since the early 1990s, there has been a considerable shift in consumers' (especially consumers from developed countries) perspective toward nutraceuticals and functional foods. Currently, consumers are much more conscious and aware about health and many share the perception that the onset of many chronic diseases can be prevented with the proper intake of nutritious diet. Food supplements are not only being consumed for just meeting the recommended dietary allowance but also as a mechanism for performance enhancement and disease prevention.

 

In addition to the above-mentioned changes, consumers' preference has now undergone a paradigm shift from synthetic ingredients toward natural and organic foods, beverages and supplements. Present day's consumers are more informed, and this could be attributed to current day media, which keeps consumers abreast of the latest scientific developments in health and wellness. Consumers are now moving towards food products that are obtained from natural non-GMO (genetically modified organism) extracts.

 

Although the term nutraceuticals is in vogue, there is no universally accepted definition of the term. Broadly put, nutraceuticals can be defined as foods or food derived substances in extracted form, which claim to provide medicinal and health benefits. In fact, the term is so broad that functional foods/beverages, dietary supplements, and any other type of food that provides health benefits fit into the nutraceutical category. However, the term becomes too broad and needs to be differentiated. Thus, for the purpose of this report, the term nutraceutical is restricted to functional foods and beverages and dietary supplements.

 

The global nutraceutical market has seen maximum growth in the last decade. While, nutraceuticals as an industry emerged in the early 1990s, 2002-2010 has been the key growth period for the industry. From 1999 to 2002, the nutraceutical industry grew at an Annual Average Growth Rate (AAGR) of 7.3 percent, while from 2002 to 2010, the AAGR doubled to 14.7 percent. The industry is expected to maintain comparable growth till 2015 driven by growth from India, China and Brazil.

AcaiBerry: Studies have shown that this little purple berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful antioxidant foods in the world. When compared to other Super Fruits, Acai has the strongest antioxidant capacity (ORAC). It helps protect the body against oxidative stress, commonly associated with the aging process+. Natrol's AcaiBerry is an extra strength blend, gently extracted with water to protect its activity, and in a process that has been deemed Rain Forest Safe.
