INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

BACKGROUND

 

Subject was incorporated as a public limited Company on 08 July 1988 having its registered office at 717/718, Maker Chamber V, Nariman Point, Mumbai 21.

 

The Company is engaged in the manufacturing of various chemical intermediates, specialty chemicals, Active pharma ingredients and Contracts Research activities.

 

The Company is operating in the crop protection and pharmaceuticals space.

 

 

EXPORTS

 

Exports for the year increased to Rs. 5818 million (80% of total sales) from Rs. 5572 million (70% of total sales) in the previous year; an increase of 61% versus the last fiscal year. . This is due to the new customers added in overseas geographies and domestic customers for products that are re-exported.

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 with their multinational customers who have reinforced their high standards and quality systems. This 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. 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.

 

 

PHARMACEUTICAL DIVISION:

 

 
They pharmaceutical division recorded a turnover of Rs. 3,716 millions as compared to Rs. 4,477 millions in the previous year, a decline of 17%. While they managed to successfully diversify the geographies in which we sell and their customer base, much of the decline in revenues was due to delayed orders of products from their existing customers and the decline in selling prices.
 
They have signed a long term contract manufacturing agreement with a European innovator customer to commercially manufacture pharmaceutical products for human health. Commercial production of one of these large volume products has commenced late last year and they expect the benefit of full ramp up in 2014. They have also completed the validation of another important API for this customer and they expect commercial production to also commence in 2014. These products will be contract manufactured exclusively for this customer through a technology transfer process as it is one of their largest molecules. The benefits of this agreement will reap rewards over the next few years as they mutually expand the relationship encompassing additional services and products.  During the year they signed another manufacturing agreement with a specialty US based food Ingredient Company.  The long term manufacturing agreement is for a specialty food ingredient product manufactured under pharmaceutical grade conditions. Commercial supplies have begun and they expect to ramp up to full production in the upcoming year. This new business is a diversification in terms of products and customers that the company has traditionally garnered. They have completed the validation of a new molecule for an important Japanese customer through a technology transfer. This product will be registered by the customer and they expect to start production once all the regulatory approvals are completed in 2014. This is an important step for the company as they have been operating in the Japanese market for over a decade and have had varied levels of success on the commercial manufacturing side. They expect this commercial manufacturing business to expand over the next few years in Japan as they have an established track record of supplying products in line with the expectations of their customers on specifications and quality.
 
 
Some of their existing API''s that have been manufactured over a period of time are experiencing both stable volumes and prices. 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.
 
Hikal has a valuable role to play by providing options across the pharmaceutical value chain from early stage support on research to flexible manufacturing solutions on the commercial scale. The past year they have diversified their customers and geographies. This has brought along a larger product portfolio which is less dependent on a few major products as has been seen in the past. Additionally new regulated capacity in terms of the Panoli site has increased their offerings and services. They should see these factors drive growth for the division in the years to come.

 

 

AWARDS

 

During the year, the company received the following awards:

 

Aditya Birla Award for the “Best Responsible Care Company” in India.

 

US FDA audit and approval of second pharmaceutical manufacturing site in Panoli.

 

Japanese Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Authority (PMDA) approval at their Panoli and Jigani Pharmaceutical.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET

 

2012 has been a year mixed year for the Pharmaceutical Industry where the per capita cost and use of medicines  declined worldwide. The global pharmaceutical industry is expected to surpass the $1 trillion mark, which is a milestone in itself led by the growth in emerging markets. While the developed markets are expected to have moderate returns, focus is on the emerging nations such as Brazil, India, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia, China, South Africa and Turkey to drive incremental sales.

 

The pharmaceutical industry is influenced by economic factors which are heavily dependent on government policy

Decisions on spending. While 2012 was a volatile year for the global markets, 2013 is showing signs of a steady recovery on a macroeconomic front. The US market which is the largest pharmaceutical market by volume and revenues, relied heavily on the new government policy, primarily healthcare reform. This is expected to reshape the way in which medicines are purchased, sold and reimbursed hence, directly affecting the sales of pharmaceuticals. Japan and Western Europe which remain the 2 and 3 largest markets after the U.S. are expected to be flat.

 

Combined growth in global spending annually is forecasted to more than double by 2016 to as much as $70 billion, up from a $30-billion pace in 2012, driven by volume increases in the emerging markets and attributed slightly to the developed nations. Government spending in emerging markets are expected to increase from $194 billion in 2011 to between $345 billion and $375 billion by 2016, or $91 in drug spending per capita. These increases will be driven by rising incomes, continued low cost for drugs, and government-sponsored programs designed to increase access to treatments. Generic drugs and other products, including over-the-counter medicines will account for major portion of that increase. In the emerging markets, China is expected to reach $161 billion by 2016, Brazil's $47 billion, India's $29 billion, and Russia's $27 billion. The global pharmaceutical industry is likely to experience a return to earnings growth in 2013 as fewer top-selling drugs lose their patent protection compared with last year, and a further earnings growth in 2014 is also anticipated as the negative effects of the patent cliff recede.

 

These growth levels pose a significant opportunity for companies such as Hikal to partner with its existing customer base to meet the increased opportunities on volumes and new products.

PHARMACEUTICALS – OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The pharmaceutical division recorded a turnover of Rs.3,716 millions as compared to Rs.4,477 millions in the previous year, a decline of 17%. While they managed to successfully diversify the geographies in which they sell and their customer base, much of the decline in revenues was due to delayed orders of products from their existing customers and the decline in selling prices.

 

One of their leading API products grew by approximately 4% last year globally. However, due to some destocking by some of their major customers combined with a slight decline in prices, lower than expected revenues were realised for the division. Their R&D has developed new and improved processes for some API's which will help reduce the manufacturing cost and make more competitive. These processes are not only commercially beneficial but also have a greener footprint which is in line with the companies' goal and objectives on sustainability. In the long run they expect to consolidate their market share and effectively increase it with a “leaner and greener” process.

 

They have signed a long term contract manufacturing agreement with a European innovator customer to commercially manufacture pharmaceutical products for human health. Commercial production of one of these large volume products has commenced late last year and they expect the benefit of full ramp up in 2014. they have also completed the validation of another important API for this customer and they expect commercial production to also commence in 2014. These products will be contract manufactured exclusively for this customer through a technology transfer process as it is one of their largest molecules. The benefits of this agreement will reap rewards over the next few years as they mutually expand the relationship encompassing additional services and products.

 

During the year they signed another manufacturing agreement with a Speciality US based food ingredient company. The long term manufacturing agreement is for a speciality food ingredient product manufactured under pharmaceutical grade conditions. Commercial supplies have begun and they expect to ramp up to full production in the upcoming year.  This new business is a diversification in terms of products and customers that the company has traditionally garnered. They have completed the validation of a new molecule for an important Japanese customer through a technology transfer.

 

This product will be registered by the customer and they expect to start production once all the regulatory approvals are completed in 2014. This is an important step for the company as they have been operating in the Japanese market for over a decade and have had varied levels of success on the commercial manufacturing side. They expect this commercial manufacturing business to expand over the next few years in Japan as they have an established track record of supplying products in line with the expectations of their customers on specifications and quality. Some of their existing API's that have been manufactured over a period of time are experiencing both stable volumes and prices. 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. Their animal health API which is contract manufactured for a leading innovator company is growing in volume. This is an exclusive contract for the company manufactured at a dedicated facility. Larger volumes will help increase the product profitability going forward.

 

On the regulatory front, they achieved two significant milestones. Their Panoli manufacturing facility received and passed its first US FDA audit successfully. It is a great accomplishment for the company from a regulatory, quality, environment, and health and safety perspective. It bears testimony to the high standards that they uphold. From a business perspective it diversifies and de-risks their manufacturing base and offers their customers two facilities with an increased range of capabilities, services and manufacturing options that they have to offer. Both their pharmaceutical manufacturing sites were audited and approved by the Japanese Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Authority (PMDA) to commercially supply products to the Japanese market. This accomplishment now opens up a new avenue for further growth and opportunities for the company.

 

During the year, they received multiple audits from their existing and new customers who categorize the company as a preferred supplier. As the industry has witnessed multiple quality and regulatory issues in this past year, the focus of many companies has been on ensuring the best standards are being met by third party suppliers. The company won the Aditya Birla award for the “Best Responsible Care” chemical company in India last year which has been very well received by their existing and potential customers. It also reinforces the highest standards that are followed and maintained at Hikal. Overall, although the pharmaceutical division has recorded a dip in sales, the future outlook for the company is bright.

 

Some of the pharmaceutical industry's main markets are under pressure. North America, Europe and Japan which jointly account for a majority of the global sales are experiencing a slowdown in value growth. The industry continues to brace itself for some fundamental changes in the marketplace and is looking at newer ways to drive growth. Further, higher R&D costs, a relatively dry pipeline for new drugs, increasing pressure from payers and providers for reduced healthcare costs and a host of other factors are putting pressure on global pharmaceutical companies. These companies are looking for new ways to boost drug discovery potential, reduce time to market and reduce costs along the whole value chain.

 

This is where Hikal has a valuable role to play by providing options across the pharmaceutical value chain from early stage support on research to flexible manufacturing solutions on the commercial scale. The past year they have diversified customers and geographies. This has brought along a larger product portfolio which is less dependent on a few major products as has been seen in the past. Additionally new regulated capacity in terms of the Panoli site has increased their offerings and services. They should see these factors drive growth for the division in the years to come.

.

 

CROP PROTECTION MARKET

 

In 2012, the global crop protection market is estimated to have increased by 6.4% to reach $47.3 billion. The trend of improved crop prices witnessed in 2011 continued into 2012 creating a situation of strong growth during the year, resulting in an 8.9% increase in real terms over the previous year. As one can see in the below chart (figure 1), the market has recorded growth over the past two years which is expected to continue in the future.

Some of the key factors influencing the global agrochemical market have been increased crop commodity prices. The rise in crop prices has however has not been constant. There have been effects reflecting the impact of weather on crop production in some years, increased import demand for grain and use of crops for biofuel, all of which have impacted grain supply and demand. Between 2010 and up to the end of 2012 prices of commodities have again begun to increase, resulting in higher volume demand for agrochemicals.

 

In addition to the increase in commodity prices, another major contributory factor within the last three years has been the significant change in global glyphosate prices. Over the past few years, China had created an oversupply situation which has now eased leading to some price improvements in the past year.

 

Some other factors contributing to the growth of the global agrochemical market are the strength of the farm economy in Latin America, particularly in Brazil, as well as the increasing use of crops for biofuel. Genetically Modified (GM) seed technology continues to have a growing influence on the market. The last two years have resulted in high single digit growth. If they were to analyses 2012, Latin America had improved crop prices particularly because of the weakening Brazilian Real and increased GM seed uptake in the region. Europe sustained its cereal and rapeseed prices. In the U.S. market there was stability in glyphosate prices and high corn, soybean and rice realisations. Asia experienced increasing grain demand in China and South East regions as well a strong rice price. All these factors put together resulted in buoyant sales for the Crop Protection Industry in 2012.

CROP PROTECTION - OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

In 2012, the revenues of the crop protection division increased substantially by 17% to Rs.2,888 millions as compared to Rs. 2,465 millions in the prior year. The increase in sales was primarily due to the larger off take of existing products and new products that were commercialized from the R and D phase.

 

Their crop protection division revenues are primarily driven from contract and custom manufacturing products for multinational innovator companies. The on-patent molecules that they contract manufacture for an European multinational innovator customer has grown substantially in volume terms as customer has received new registration approvals across the world. Thiabendazole (TBZ), a fungicide for which they have a dedicated manufacturing facility at their Taloja site, is doing well. The volume has been steadily increasing over the past few years and they expect it to further increase next year as new markets are penetrated, which in turn will considerably improve the plant utilization. This fungicide has additional uses in animal health which is also a growing market allied to the crop protection division.

Their efforts in Japan continue to yield results. They have successfully completed multiple late phase research projects which are likely to be commercialized over the next 18 - 24 months. They have completed a pilot trial of a fungicide for a large multinational Japanese company at their Mahad site and they expect the commercial quantities to be supplied during the financial year. They have completed a commercial scale order for a speciality chemical for another Japanese customer which is expected to ramp up in the next few months from their Mahad site. This is a speciality large volume product which will lead to additional opportunities. For an existing customer in Japan, they have completed scale up studies for a new product which is expected to be commercialised in the near future. Two additional products for a leading Agrochemical company in Japan are undergoing scale up studies at their research and pilot plant facilities. These products will add to the commercial pipeline for the Crop Protection division in the near future. They have undergone and successfully completed EHS and Quality audits of Global Multinational Companies, including.

 

Japan which has reinforced their high standards and quality systems. This is a key requirement for sustainable business in future as well. They continue to target some of the global customers in the US market who are looking for established, quality manufacturers of Advanced Intermediates and Active Ingredients. Some of the potential customers have visited and audited their facilities and they have a good chance to add them into their fold as new customers.

 

This past year they have not only added products, but also increased their business development efforts in Europe, US and particularly Japan. These efforts have begun to yield results which are visible through the increased number molecules under evaluation in the pipeline and several successful products in the commercialisation phase. As the Crop protection market grows, they expect Hikal's revenues, capacity utilisation and profitability to increase over the next few years.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The contract manufacturing industry continues to grow at a steady pace, driven by cost pressures, stringent regulatory requirements and patent expires. The highly competitive nature of the industry has been driving consolidation and companies are increasingly off shoring to emerging markets such as India to reduce costs. As a result, companies in key outsourcing destinations have been improving their manufacturing infrastructure which in turn is increasing their global competitiveness. 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&D infrastructure. As an industry, they have been able to leverage this capability in research chemistry, especially in the areas of analytical chemistry and compound synthesis.
