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.

The revised Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956 has been adopted while preparing these statements, in accordance with the notification from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

 

 

BRANDED FORMULATIONS

 

Their Branded Formulations business has grown rapidly, offering a large basket of products for chronic diseases to a sizeable patient population in India. This business continues to make a significant contribution to the building of Brand Biocon.

 

Increasing patient needs are driving us to develop value added yet affordable treatment options. In order to meet these rising demands, their Branded Formulations India business has adopted a focused portfolio approach that caters to the key therapeutic segments of Diabetology, Nephrology, Cardiology, Oncology, Critical Care and Immunotherapy.

 

During FY 12, the Branded Formulations business achieved sales of Rs. 2594.000 million, recording strong growth of 39%. The Critical Care and Immunotherapy divisions, launched in mid-FY 11, have grown manifold within a short span of time and a significant number of products have been introduced by many other therapeutic divisions.

 

India Focus

 

Diabetology

 

During FY 12, the Diabetology division registered robust growth of 38%, moving Biocon to the no. 4 position in the Insulins segment. Biocon’s INSUGEN® ranked no. 3 in the 40 IU Insulin space, with a growth of 31%, is outpacing market growth (ORG IMS

March 2012 MAT). Their Insugen 100 IU, launched in FY 11, also captured significant market share. In the Insulin Glargine market, Biocon’s BASALOG® vials continue to provide affordable insulin therapy options to diabetes patients.

 

INSUPen®, Biocon’s first reusable insulin delivery device launched in the presence of eminent endocrinologists in mid- FY 12 was very well received. A breakthrough in insulins delivery devices, INSUPen® offers patients in India:

 

• Reusable, best-in-class, proprietary German technology based pen with user friendly features

 

• First pen with a choice of 3 colors for clear insulin differentiation INSUPen® has been a substantial value add to their basket of Insulin therapies in the market and enables us to compete in the cartridge segment.

 

To enhance patient experience with INSUPen, Biocon has introduced a patient support system for diabetics. A proactive team of Diabetes Care Advisors (DCAs) leads the on-field service arm, supported by a ‘7 days a week’ helpline that offers counseling to diabetics. Biocon’s ‘one call does all’ provides complementary, wide ranging support for INSUPen®, including at home product demos, counseling on lifestyle changes and answers to product related queries.

 

Oncotherapeutics

 

Biocon’s Oncotherapeutics division remains committed to unlocking the value of its oncology portfolio by providing access to affordable and differentiated anti-cancer therapies. EvertorTM, the first and only global generic of everolimus for the treatment of progressive neuro-endocrine tumors of pancreatic origin, completed one year of launch in FY 12. Indigenously developed using their proprietary platform technology, EvertorTM is available to patients at a competitive price.

 

 

Abraxane®, their best-in-class taxane used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, is amongst the top three brands in its segment in India and has consistently been the fastest growing brand in its category. Biocon has exclusive marketing rights for this product in India through a tie-up with Celgene Corporation. Nearly 3,000 Indian patients in the last three and a half years have greatly benefitted from this affordable treatment.

 

Biocon’s BIOMAb EGFR®, their first humanized monoclonal antibody for head and neck cancer, also grew significantly in FY 12. In line with their promise of affordable innovation, its cost of therapy remains competitive compared to other anti-EGFR MAbs.

 

Nephrology

 

Biocon’s Nephrology division addresses the therapeutic needs of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and transplant recipients with the most comprehensive, economical and innovative methods. The division posted strong growth in FY 12, with many brands featuring among the top three in their respective therapy segments. The ERYPRO™ group remains a flagship brand of the dialysis portfolio, catering to patients of various

 

Business Operations Overview and Outlook

 

The year marked the beginning of a crucial action phase for Biocon with the looming biologics patent expiries which commence from 2015. During this fiscal, the company delivered a 16% top line growth with revenues reaching ` 2,148 Crores vis-à-vis ` 1,858 Crores in FY11. This growth has been driven by strong performances in research services and branded formulations which grew at 29% and 39%, respectively. Biopharmaceutical sales excluding branded formulations grew about 10% YoY with sustained momentum from Immuno suppressants, speciality molecules like Fidaxomicin, Orlistat and resilient sales from Statins.

 

This fiscal witnessed large strides that they took in their key growth verticals as we crystallised their strategy to take the company to the next growth platform. Their five growth verticals namely Small Molecules, Branded Formulations, Biosimilars, Research Services and Novel Molecules are built with a firm focus on emerging markets. Emerging markets are currently growing at 13-18% compared to the almost flat growth in most developed markets.

 

They initiated supplies of Fidaxomicin API to Optimer Pharma this year. Optimer has launched the molecule in US markets to a very warm reception, thanks to its superior profile. They have also received commercialization approval for the molecule in the European markets. They are their sole suppliers for this molecule for both of these markets, an extension of their long association with Optimer over the development phase of this molecule.

 

The Indian healthcare market is being driven by chronic therapies, especially diabetes and dermatology. The two new divisions that they launched last year, Comprehensive Care and Immunotherapy, have done very well on the strength of their niche positioning and differentiated offerings.

 

They launched INSUPen ease®, a world-class, reusable delivery device for insulin and analogs based on proprietary German technology, in India. The best-in-class delivery device has been very well received and appreciated by doctors and patients alike. Capitalising on this launch, their domestic Insulin business (part of their Diabetology portfolio in branded formulations) grew rapidly over the last year. According to IMS February 2012 MAT, Biocon was the fastest growing Insulin Company in India and the only indigenous company that has been able to catapult itself to the top league.

 

The ground breaking for their new insulin facility in Malaysia during September 2011, reiterating their commitment to take their Biosimilar insulin and analogs to the global markets. They are looking at optimising their regional partnership approach to carve out a large slice of the global Insulin market. They have regional partners in 32 geographies including Brazil, Mexico, China and Japan. They aim to forge new partnerships as well as leverage existing alliances to augment the access and penetration of their biosimilar molecules.

 

In their Novels portfolio, they received positive news flow from Phase III trial in Psoriasis for Itolizumab, the anti-CD6 molecule targeted at autoimmune disorders like plaque psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Itolizumab successfully met all primary and secondary endpoints in the 52- week, double blind, and placebo controlled trial. Their partner, Amylin had filed a US IND for phybrid: a novel biological entity targeted at diabetes and obesity. The molecule has entered into phase I clinical trials in US.

 

Their biosimilar Trastuzumab has commenced multi centric, phase III trials in India; aimed at accessing the pie in emerging markets. The other molecules from their Mylan partnership are also due to enter clinics over the course of the next couple of years. The current innovator market size for this portfolio was approximately US$ 33 Billion in 2011. They expect to carry forward the momentum of their research programs and substantiate their efforts of moving up the value chain over the coming years.

 

Industry Landscape, Opportunity and Outlook

 

Global Pharmaceutical Market

 

The global pharmaceutical industry clocked nearly $900 Billion in 20111, growing at about 5% YoY from $856 Billion in 20101. The pharma landscape underwent rapid transformation with the maturing patent cliff, rationalization of healthcare spends across developed markets (refer figure 1) and the growing clout of Pharmerging nations.

 

 

The year was marked by several high profile M and A deals, as the big pharma sought opportunities in emerging markets as well as synergies to augment its drug pipeline. Out of the 15 largest deals last year (contributing ~70% of the sum of disclosed transaction values), six were R and D-driven, with the target owning promising research assets4. The biosimilars space heated up as several alliances and joint ventures materialised to capitalise on the impending biologics patent cliff.

 

With these tectonic shifts, the global pharmaceutical market is expected to exceed $1 trillion in 20144. The growth for 2012, however, is expected to be muted in anticipation of further healthcare reforms in the developed markets and imminent patent expiries.

 

The spotlight thus, firmly shifts to BRIC-TM-K5 where an annual growth of 13-16% is anticipated6. The seven Pharmerging markets that constitute BRIC-TM-K5 are expected to contribute more than half of the global market growth in 2012 and sustain an average 40% contribution through 20136. The Pharmerging countries are expected to increase their pharma spending by nearly twofold of their current spend in the next 3 years

 

Indian Pharma Market

 

The Indian Pharmaceutical Market (IPM) grew by ~16% in FY12 to exceed ` 600 Billion8 (US $ 13 Billion). The strong double-digit growth is expected to sustain over the next 3 years as the industry reaches a size of $50 Billion plus by 2015 (illustrated in figure 3), with IPM becoming the 8th largest pharma market in the world.

 

The catalysts for this growth, as exemplified in figure 4, include rising household income levels, increasing prevalence of lifestyle related diseases, improving healthcare infrastructure as well as delivery systems and the increasing penetration in smaller towns and rural areas. With rising discretionary income at the household level, the share of wallet spent on healthcare is projected to reach 13% in 2020, up from 7% in 20059, considerably higher than its peers in BRIC-TM-K.

 

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The year gone by

 

With major small molecule and biologic patent expiries’ on the anvil, FY12 marked the dawn of a crucial phase for Biocon. Over the year, they delivered a 16% top line growth with revenues reaching Rs. 21483 up from Rs. 18,576 in FY11. This growth reflected the coming of age of their investments in research services and branded formulations which grew YoY at 29% and 39%, respectively. The biopharma segment grew about 10% YoY with sustained impetus from Immuno suppressants, speciality molecules like Fidaxomicin, Orlistat and buoyant sales from Statins.

 

There were significant achievements in FY12 which fortified their Insulin focus. The highlight of the year was the India launch of INSUPen ease®: a world-class, reusable delivery device for insulin and analogs based on proprietary German technology. The ground breaking for their new insulin facility in Malaysia was done in September 2011. The new facility is expected to be operational in FY15 with regulatory approvals. The end of the fiscal witnessed the amicable dissolution of their commercialisation partnership with Pfizer over divergent biosimilar priorities. As a company, Biocon stays committed to taking its biosimilar insulin and analogs to the global markets.

 

A number of molecules from their R and D pipeline, both biosimilars and novels, moved into the clinics with positive news flow from Phase III trial in Psoriasis for Itolizumab, the anti-CD6 molecule targeted at auto-immune disorders like plaque psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis.

We are excited to team up with Mylan to be able to cost effectively address the disease and economic burden that diabetes poses to global health. We are confident that together we can build a strong global presence in generic Insulin analogs and thereby provide access to affordable therapy options to physicians, healthcare providers and diabetes patients worldwide."

 

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch commented, "This collaboration builds off of our existing successful partnership for generic biologics with Biocon and brings Mylan a portfolio of high-value insulin analog products. This collaboration further expands and diversifies our pipeline of complex, difficult-to-manufacture products with strong future growth potential. Importantly, we believe we have the opportunity to be one of the first generic entrants in developed markets into the rapidly growing diabetes area, helping to address unmet needs and reduce the economic burden to those battling the disease and to the global healthcare system."


Mylan President Rajiv Malik added, "Biocon has served as a trusted development partner for the past three years and we are very excited about this expanded relationship. Our thorough review of the development work completed by Biocon to date on these products gives us great confidence in the company's capabilities in this area and in the quality and value of this program. Our confidence in the potential of this program is supported by our proven ability to drive value from our partnership with Biocon and we believe Mylan is uniquely positioned to work with Biocon to bring these products to market."

Revenues at Rs .18890.000 Millions; EBITDA at Rs 4720.000 Millions; PAT at Rs 2600.000 Millions

 

 Bengaluru, India: January 24, 2013

 

Commenting on the results, Chairman and Managing Director, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw stated, “Our 9M performance has seen a 23% YoY increase in revenues and an 11% EBITDA growth attributable to a combination of volume expansions, price increases and improved export realizations. We have performed well across all our business verticals. We continue to gain market share for Biosimilar Insulins in ROW markets which now accounts for a significant part of our business. I am also pleased to announce that we have received approval from the DCGI for our novel Monoclonal antibody, Itolizumab indicated for Psoriasis. This is a significant milestone that enhances the value of this late stage asset.

Biopharma: Small Molecules & Biosimilars

 

The biopharma business delivered a strong performance of 22% YoY growth this quarter, led by an improved product mix. Small Molecules sales to US and Europe remain robust and emerging markets delivered strong sales in Insulins and Immunosuppressants. Our formulations business in the Middle East, through our joint venture NeoBiocon, has begun to gain critical mass recording sales of $ 5 Mn.

 

We have initiated patient enrollment for the global phase III clinical trials for biosimilar trastuzumab, post the successful completion of global phase I study. The ongoing phase III trial being conducted in India continues to make good progress.

 

We have recently concluded the second part of our EU Phase III trial for biosimilar rh-Insulin, aimed at establishing comparable immunogenicity & safety with the innovator products, over a 12 month evaluation period. This data is being compiled along with the efficacy data obtained in the first part of the study. This will enable our dossier submission with the regulatory authorities, thus paving the way for marketing authorization.

 

Novel Molecules

 

The 3rd Quarter of FY13 witnessed major advancements in our novel molecules program with significant progress across all lead programs. We received Marketing Authorization from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for our Novel Biologic Itolizumab, an anti CD6 molecule, for the treatment of chronic plaque Psoriasis. Itolizumab is a first-in-class therapy with a unique mechanism of action and an excellent safety profile as indicated during the 52 week Phase III study conducted in India. We will introduce this product under the brand name, AlzumabTM in India in FY 14.

 

We have signed an option agreement with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) for the global clinical development of our oral Insulin program: IN-105. This alliance with BMS is a strategic partnership which will help us undertake targeted global trials under a US IND. BMS has the right to exercise an option for exclusive worldwide license post the completion of these trials.

BVX 20, our novel anti CD-20 therapy, has entered the clinic in India for a Phase I trial in Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (blood cancer).

 

Branded Formulations

 

The branded formulations business delivered a growth of 35% in 9MFY13, outpacing the Indian Pharmaceutical Market which grew at 13% for the same period. Several product introductions were made in this quarter, across Cardiology, Immunology and Comprehensive Care.

 

Research Services

Our research services arm continues to grow robustly, delivering 34% YoY growth for 9M FY13. We expect the recent partnership with GE to leverage novel platform technologies, thereby creating further value differentiators.

 

Commenting on this performance, Peter Bains, Director Syngene International, said, “We are pleased with Syngene and Clinigene’s Q3 results and the maintenance of the strong momentum we have seen in the first half of the year. This performance is clearly underpinned by our ongoing strategy of building a broader and strengthened platform of discovery and development service capabilities to support our customers' evolving needs. We are particularly encouraged to see strong performances coming from Syngene’s Manufacturing and Formulation services and Clinigene’s Large Molecule Bio-analytical services. Our order book position has been further strengthened with retention of existing business as well as expansion with existing clients, and acquisition of new customers. We are well positioned to see momentum continue through Q4 and into the next fiscal”

 

Outlook

The business outlook remains positive as we are fully geared to accelerate growth of all our business verticals. Going forward we aim to have higher contribution from Biosimilars, Research Services and Branded Formulations to the overall revenue. Our increasing R&D investments are reflective of the progress being made in this direction with all our research assets of novel molecules and biosimilars progressing well on the development pathway. We continue discussions with potential partners for taking our insulins & novel portfolio to the global markets.
