It is due to the increase in overall revenues and the addition of customers in different geographies as compared to last year.

 

OPERATIONS

 

Crop Protection Division:

 

Their Crop Protection division revenues are primarily driven from contract manufacturing products for multinational innovator companies. The past year saw a volume increase of a fungicide produced for a major European multinational company. An intermediate for the same customer produced at their Mahad facility has grown in volume and based on future forecasts given by the customer, they expect it to grow further.

 

They have added two customers for commercial manufacturing which is expected to commence next year. The lab trials for these molecules have been completed. They worked on multiple late stage research projects for Japanese Crop Protection companies which are expected to fructify over the next two years. It will lead to additional revenues in the Crop Protection division. They are currently working on an intermediate to be manufactured at their Mahad facility for the Japanese market. It is a solvent for the electronic chemical market with extremely stringent quality requirements. The success of this project along with others has opened up a new market in the fast growing specialty chemicals field for the company.

 

They have invested incrementally in debottlenecking their plants at Taloja and Mahad to cater to the additional

demand of their customers. Going forward, they are focusing on maximum capacity utilization at their manufacturing facilities which will improve their profitability. They have successfully completed Safety, Health and Environment audits in new markets for this new generation product.

 

Pharmaceutical Division:

 

One of their leading API products in the Pharmaceutical division experienced higher than expected volumes from existing customers as well as from newer indications that have been approved for the product. As one of the largest suppliers of this product in the world, their R and D has worked tirelessly to improve the process and reduce the production cost of this product in the face of increased competition and declining market prices.

 

They received final clearances from a European innovator multinational company to commence commercial production of multiple products at their Panoli and Jigani facilities. They had built dedicated facilities for the production of these molecules which are expected to be commercialized in the second quarter of the next financial year. These are both large volume products and are expected to grow in volume over the next few years. This will further improve the capacity utilization of both sites considerably.

 

Commercial quantities of an API product that they had under development has been successfully manufactured and approved by an innovator company in the US. This product will be contract manufactured at their USFDA plant in Bangalore and supplies are expected to start in the second quarter of the next financial year.

 

Validation trials of two new APIs under development have been completed. They expect commercial quantities to begin in the next financial year. These products are in the process of being approved by their customers as they go off patent.

 

Construction of their newest multipurpose API plant which is capable of manufacturing 4 APIs simultaneously is underway at their USFDA facility in Bangalore. This plant is expected to be ready in 2013 and will cater to the new

products and contract manufacturing requirements of their existing Customers.

 

On the regulatory front, they had two milestones. Their Bangalore USFDA facility passed its third audit successfully receiving zero 483s (zero regulatory deviances). It is an accomplishment for the company from a regulatory, quality, environment, and health and safety perspective. It bears testimony to the high standards that they uphold. As part of the company's initiative to become an integral component of the global supply chain, they were audited and certified by the globally recognized voluntary supply chain consortium, Rx360.They are the first Indian life sciences company to be successfully audited by this organization. A significant number of leading multinational innovator, biotech and chemical companies are members of this supply chain which is a clear differentiator to become a supplier to these companies.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET

 

In 2011, the global pharmaceutical market grew by 4.5% to reach approximately US$ 900 billion registering growth of US$ 45 billion over 2010. Currently, the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by the US, which accounted for about 26% of global sales in 2011, followed by the EU, accounting for nearly 15%, and Japan for 12%. Together, these three markets represent nearly 55% of the global industry. The top five pharmaceutical markets in the world are the US, Japan, Germany, France and China. Demand for medicines and the world pharmaceutical markets grew in 2011; competition and price erosion of products made it a challenging marketplace for pharmaceutical companies. The global pharmaceutical industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6.5% during 2012-2013. The growth will be driven by the prevalence of diseases worldwide, and rising per capita income of consumers. Sales of generic drugs will emerge as the most prominent segment of the pharmaceutical market during the forecast period, indicating sizeable opportunities for generics and contract manufacturing companies. Drugs with sales of more than US$ 30 billion are expected to face generic competition as in the case of Lipitor in 2011 which accounted for US$ 11 billion in sales. Governments will continue to reduce drug costs. Going forward, it will also be crucial for understanding how healthcare reform efforts in major markets develop and shape up amid the foreseen macroeconomic rebound. Industry returns are under pressure from declining R and D productivity and intensifying pricing pressures, particularly in established markets which are facing rising healthcare costs. For pharmaceutical manufacturers such as Hikal, there is a focus on achieving differentiated value through cost advantages and efficiency both in terms of R and D development and commercial manufacturing which will be instrumental to manage this dynamic market.

 

PHARMACEUTICALS – OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

Their pharmaceutical division recorded its highest turnover at Rs. 4,477 million as compared to ` 3,201 million in the previous year, a growth of 40%. Much of the growth can be attributed to the increase in sales of their existing product portfolio as they captured a larger market share and added new customers. One of their leading API products in the pharmaceutical division experienced higher than expected volumes from existing customers as well as from newer indications that have been approved for the product.  As one of the world's largest suppliers of this product, their R and D has worked tirelessly to improve the process and reduce the production cost in the face of increased competition and declining market prices. They continue to improve the throughput in the plant in order to stay ahead of the competition while maintaining the quality and delivery timelines. They expect the product to stabilize in volumes over the next few years.

 

They received final clearances from a European innovator biopharmaceutical company to start commercial production of multiple products at their Panoli and Jigani facilities. They had built dedicated facilities for the production of these molecules which are expected to be commercialized in the third quarter of the next financial year. These are both large volume products and are expected to grow over the coming years. It will further improve the capacity utilization of both sites significantly. The contract manufacturing of these molecules will add stable revenues and margins for the division over the next few years. Additionally, it will create new business opportunities for newer molecules in the future.

 

Commercial quantities of an API product that they had under development have been successfully manufactured and approved by an innovator company in the US. This product will be contract manufactured at their USFDA plant in Bangalore and supplies are expected to start in the second quarter of the next financial year.

 

Some of their legacy lifecycle extension molecules that were manufactured a few years ago have been re-introduced into the pipeline at the request of their customers. These products are increasing in volumes and prices are more or less stable. As there are fewer competitors, they expect these molecules to diversify the current product pipeline while serving as a business development tool for adding newer customers. Validation trials of two new APIs under development have been completed. They expect commercial quantities to begin in the next financial year. These products are in the process of being approved by their customers as they go off patent. Construction of their newest multipurpose API plant which is capable of manufacturing 4 APIs simultaneously is under way at their USFDA site in Bangalore. This plant is expected to be ready in 2013 and will cater to the new products under development at Hikal R and D and contract manufacturing requirements of their existing customers.

 

On the regulatory front, they achieved two significant milestones. Their Bangalore USFDA facility passed its third audit successfully receiving zero 483s (zero regulatory deviances). It is an accomplishment for the company from a regulatory, quality, environment, and health and safety perspective. It bears testimony to the high standards that they uphold. As part of the company's initiative to become an integral component of the global supply chain, they were audited and certified by the globally recognized voluntary supply chain consortium, Rx360. They are the first Indian life sciences company to be successfully audited by this organization. A large number of leading multinational innovator, biotech and chemical companies are members of this supply chain which is a clear differentiator for us to become a supplier to these companies.

 

Overall, the pharmaceutical division has recorded substantial growth this year. While the fundamentals of the industry remain strong, they expect growth to remain stable over the next few years. Globally, rising healthcare costs and continued austerity measures by local governments have put pressure on prices of medicines. From a regulatory perspective, global requirements are becoming more stringent. Although, this is a challenging scenario, they see it as an opportunity to showcase their technical abilities and world-class manufacturing capabilities. As they continue to expand their pipeline with newer molecules under development, they are extending their existing relationships to garner additional business on the contract manufacturing and generics side. They expect the growth in the pharmaceutical division to continue in the future.

 

CROP PROTECTION MARKET

 

In 2011, the global crop protection market recorded significant growth. The market for conventional crop protection products (excluding sales of herbicide tolerant and insect resistant seed) is estimated to have increased by 14.9% to reach US$ 44 billion and the overall value of the agrochemical market for the use of products in the non-crop sector is estimated to have grown by 7.0% to US$ 6.2 billion. As a whole, the market increased 13.8% over 2010 for an estimated value of approximately US$ 50 billion.

 

Demand for crop and non crop chemicals continued to rise considerably. This coupled with higher prices for agricultural commodities, high oil prices and adverse weather conditions such as the drought in Mexico, Northern China and Vietnam, dry weather in the US towards the end of the season and the tsunami affecting the Japanese rice market brought about a significant improvement in demand. It was reflected in increased investment in seeds and crop protection products.

 

In 2011, crop planting benefitted for improving crop commodity prices but was hampered due to adverse weather conditions. The main factor behind the positive forecasts for crop protection market going forward is stronger demand in developing nations such as India, China and Brazil. The economic and population growth as well as dietary changes are expected to increase demand and prices substantially. The non crop sector which recorded growth of 7% in 2011 was driven more by economic development, product pric4: and volume. The driver of growth in 2011 was attributed to markets in Latin America and Asia. The future of the Crop Protection market is positive from a demand and price perspective. With rising incomes and demand in the BRIC countries and increased productivity in farmland, they expect the next few years to have a positive effect on Hikal's product portfolio which will result in increased revenues for the company's Crop Protection division.

 

CROP PROTECTION - OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

In 2011-12, the revenues of the Crop Protection division increased substantially by 42% to 2,465 million as compared to Rs.1,734 million in the year before. The increase in sales was primarily due to the larger off take of products by their customers. Their new products which were in the R and D stages are expected to be commercialized in the next financial year leading to additional growth in the years to come.

 

Their Crop Protection division revenues are primarily driven from contract manufacturing products for multinational innovator companies. The past year saw a volume increase of a fungicide produced for a major European multinational company. An intermediate for the same customer produced at their Mahad site has grown in volume and based on future forecasts of the customer, they expect it to grow further. Thiabendazole (TBZ), a fungicide for which they have a dedicated manufacturing facility at Taloja, is sold to Syngenta's crop protection division. The volume has been steadily increasing over the past few years and they expect it to further increase next year which will considerably improve the plant capacity utilization. This fungicide has additional uses in animal health which is also a growing market for the crop protection division.

 

Their product 'Diuron' which is an herbicide manufactured at their Mahad facility is mainly used to control weeds in agriculture and irrigation channels. Diuron is also used in non crop segments such as the fast growing paint industry as an antifungal agent. The additional usage of this product helps grow the market and demand both in India as well as globally.

 

The on-patent molecule that they are contract manufacturing for a European multinational innovator customer has grown substantially over last year's volume. Based on their customer's forecast, they expect that this molecule will further grow as their customer's registration gets approved in new markets for this new generation product. This year, their new business development in the Japanese market made significant inroads. They are already supplying large commercial quantities of an insecticide to a leading Japanese company from their Panoli crop protection plant. They have added two customers for commercial manufacturing which is expected to start next year. The lab trials for these molecules have been completed. They worked on multiple late stage research projects for Japanese Crop Protection companies which are expected to fructify over the next two years. It will lead to additional revenues in the Crop Protection division. They are currently working on an intermediate to be manufactured at their Mahad site for the Japanese market. This is a solvent for the electronic chemical market with extremely stringent quality requirements. The success of this project along with others has opened up a new market in the fast growing speciality chemicals field for the company.

 

They have invested incrementally in de-bottlenecking their plants at Taloja and Mahad to cater to the additional demand of their customers. Going forward, they are focusing on maximum capacity utilization at their manufacturing sites which will improve their profitability. They have successfully completed Safety, Health and Environment audits with their multinational customers who have reinforced their high standards and quality systems. It should lead to additional business in the years to come. In addition, they have invested in increasing the capacity of their R and D personnel and equipment at their Taloja plant which focuses on process improvements and new product development.

 

They expect long-term contracts with their innovator customers to yield constant streams of revenue. Their new products under development will add to more business opportunities as well as the acquisition of customers in new geographies.

 

CONTRACT RESEARCH AND MANUFACTURING

 

The contract research and manufacturing services (CRAMS) market in India has been seeing robust growth over the past five years and is expected to maintain its upward growth trajectory. This growth is being reinforced by new opportunities as companies are looking to reduce costs and serve emerging markets. Globally, Asia Pacific is the fastest growing CRAMS market, with India and China as the major hubs. In India, pharmaceutical companies have adapted well to the changing industry scenario, speeding up the deliverables and timelines when it comes to research and development. The highly skilled labor pool is also ramping up the prospects for the CRAMS market in India. Fast-approaching patent expiries have made pharmaceutical companies speed up the need to explore more research collaborations with Indian companies.

 

The CRAMS sector in India is expected to almost double to US$ 7.6 billion in 2012, up from US$ 3.8 billion in 2010. Contract manufacturing accounted for US$ 2.3 billion worth of sales5. The segment will grow at 41.4% CAGR during fiscal years 2010-12. In contrast, the global outsourcing market is expected to grow at a far lower 12.6% CAGR.

 

Sourcing products and services from Indian companies will also reduce the expenses by more than 50% for the global pharmaceutical companies6. The forecast for the Indian CRAMS sector is healthy on the back of custom manufacturing and increasing presence in contract research.

 

Custom or contract manufacturing will be the leader of the segment in outsourcing as the value of contracts is higher than those in research. Skilled manpower coupled with inherent cost advantages, will enable India to capture a significant chunk of the US$ 67 billion global pharmaceutical outsourcing market.

 

In 2010, global contract manufacturing was about 64% of the total CRAMS market. The global contract research market was US$ 25 billion with a CAGR of 19% over 2007-10. For the same period, the Indian contract research industry grew to around US$ 1.5 billion at a CAGR of 65% taking into account a much smaller base. There is a huge scope for growth as only around 20% of global pharmaceutical R and D expenditure is being outsourced.

 

As Big Pharma look for measures to cut costs and maintain their profitability, they are expected to outsource activities to the extent of US$ 85 billion by fiscal year 2012. This is due to the loss of patents and pricing pressure from generic medicines in the developed countries. As drugs worth US$ 90 billion go off-patent in the next 3-4 years, there will be fewer product launches in relation to R and D spends and these new launches cannot fill the revenue loss from blockbuster drugs that go off patent.

 

Hikal offers the right combination of capabilities and cost arbitrage for companies that are looking at reducing costs and improve productivity. The company's strength in chemistry-based services differentiates itself in the CRAMS market. Their customers are looking to expand their relationships both in research and manufacturing. As regulations become stricter and barriers to entry stronger, it is becoming more and more challenging to add new customers and develop long-term relationships. Their existing customers range from fine chemical to pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Their commitment to acting responsibly along with adhering to stringent timelines and quality deliverables has reinforced trust with their customers. They are uniquely positioned in the value chain to offer services both in R and D as well as manufacturing to global life sciences companies as can be seen in Figure 5. They see their contract manufacturing and research business as a growth driver of future revenue.

 

CONTRACT RESEARCH and DEVELOPMENT - OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

This year, the global pharmaceutical market was severely affected by price pressures with the onslaught of generics, government reimbursement policies for medicines and economic instability. Global companies are changing their focus from diminishing blockbuster drugs to penetrating emerging markets and their growing middle class for future growth, collaborating with biotech companies and licensing in late stage molecules to fill their pipelines.

 

In continuation with their efforts to create a healthy pipeline for Hikal, their R and D team at Bangalore concluded several new projects successfully during the year. Novel manufacturing processes were developed for 2 APIs, which were validated and the corresponding DMFs are in the process of being filed. One of these APIs is aimed at supporting a World Health Organization (WHO) initiative to treat Lymphatic Filariasis. In contract manufacturing, technology transfers by their customers were successfully transferred to their production facilities and small quantities were validated. Efficient manufacturing processes were also developed for several pharmaceutical advanced intermediates and are being transferred to the respective production units.

 

They are leveraging their capabilities to implement green processes for the molecules under development. They use bio catalysis to minimize the use of chemicals in their manufacturing processes. Enzyme catalyzed transformation help us develop environment-friendly processes for their new product pipeline. In order to ensure that their current manufacturing processes are environment-friendly and sustainable, consumption of organic solvents was reduced and in certain cases eliminated. Effluent streams were processed to recover valuable products that can be recycled. These initiatives have been transferred and implemented in commercial production. It is part of the company initiative to become a sustainable business. Capacity building in the area of scale up has also been undertaken and new equipment and reactors have been added to R and D labs. All these initiatives and actions are expected to create new business opportunities and business leads in the near future.

 

As part of their integration efforts, they have demerged Acoris Research, formerly a 100% subsidiary, into a division of Hikal. It will enable a smoother transition from contract R and D to scale up and manufacturing at a Hikal commercial site.

 

Acoris as a provider of early stage support services to the life sciences industry has recorded a 61% increase in revenues over the last year to ?153 million.

 

Acoris has again shown significant growth in the year and has added a number of major multinational clients from Western Europe and Japan. Acoris has completed over fifty laboratory scale projects and five major pilot plant development projects on behalf of clients during 2011-12. There is a strong pipeline of projects in the coming year. These projects range from Phase I to Phase III in the pharmaceutical value chain. The success of these projects depends on the regulatory approvals from USFDA. A majority of these projects are from repeat customers which highlights the successful track record of the company.

 

The Japanese market has been a lead source of enquiries and projects for Acoris. They have signed contracts for process development, process intensification and scale up with several companies for new chemical entities. Their strategy to offer a full development and scale up service to innovator companies, generic and biotech companies is leading to new possibilities for long-term contract manufacturing opportunities for the Hikal group. These development contracts will translate into revenues in the years to come.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

India as a manufacturing and research service industry is driven by cost competitiveness, robust chemistry capabilities supported by a talent pool of skilled professionals and R and D infrastructure. India's R and D policy has been focused on the development of generics for western markets, which involved developing non-infringing process and cost-effective routes. As an industry, they have been able to leverage this capability in research chemistry, especially in the areas of analytical chemistry and compound synthesis.

1. The above results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meeting on February 6, 2013


2. The Scheme of Arrangement for merger of Acoris Research Limited (ARL) with the Company was sanctioned by Hon'ble High Court of Bombay vide its order dated March 30, 2012. Accordingly, ARL was merged with the Company from the Appointed Date April 1, 2012. Accordingly, effective April 1, 2012 all assets/liabilities of ARL is taken over by the company at the book value and the difference of Rs.285.000 Millions between the assets/liabilities is adjusted in Securities Premium Account. In view of the aforesaid merger, the figures for the current quarter including EPS are strictly not comparable with those of the corresponding period of the previous year.


3. The Company has entered into forward/options contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange for approx 30% of future exports. These covers have been staggered upto the period March 31, 2013, as the major percentage of the Company's turnover is realized from exports. The Company is of the opinion that the result of these transactions represent unrealised losses that are notional in nature. The management is of the opinion that the fluctuation in currency movements against hedged contracts gets compensated by realization of a higher value of sales realizations and therefore, the actual profit/loss against such outstanding contracts crystallizes only on maturity of such forward contracts. The gain/ loss on these transactions will be recognised as and when they fall due. The mark to market valuation loss is Rs.210.400 Millions as on December 31, 2012 (corresponding previous period as on December 31, 2011 Rs.753.400 Millions).Further, due to extant volatility in foreign currency rates the exchange difference of Rs. 32.100 Millions as on December 31,2012 (corresponding previous period as on December 31, 2011 Rs. 135.400 Millions) on outstanding short term working capital loans, will be accounted at the rate prevailing on the date of payment .

Commenting on the results, Jai Hiremath, Chairman and Managing Director, Hikal Limited. said, “Our Agrochemical division continues to grow on back of increased off-take by our customers. Our Pharmaceutical division has been affected by destocking of inventory by our customers most of which has been pushed into the fourth quarter of this financial year. Even though our EBITDA margins have increased quarter on quarter of this financial year, the net profit is lower due to foreign exchange losses. The forecast from our customers for the rest of the financial year remains positive. Our operational margins are healthy and we expect to continue the growth well into next financial year.”
