MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

KEY ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY TRENDS

 

The world economy is once again on the growth path. With financial conditions stabilising, there is greater hope of a sustained uptrend. The emerging economies continue to support broader economic expansion and have attracted robust capital inflows.

 

Last year has been a year of mixed trends for Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences companies. On one hand, these are exciting times for pharmaceutical industry and it is on a growth path especially in emerging markets, on the other there are challenges that the industry has to face due to patents cliff, increased regulatory intervention and escalating healthcare costs.

 

The pharmaceuticals industry is riding on a growth wave in line with a rapidly strengthening scientific base, growing demand for medicines due to increasing and ageing global population, longer life expectancy, higher prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases and the removal of former impediments to free trade with the objective of providing lower cost healthcare services and improved access for all sections of society.

 

Agricultural chemicals have been proven to be highly effective in reducing crop losses caused by pests, diseases and weeds and to enable farmers to grow crops that meet growing demand and consumer expectations at reasonable prices.

 

They offer a substantial footprint in life science and pharmaceutical products and services through their presence across the value chain, thereby contributing to the needs of the environment, society and economy. Their integrated operations make it feasible to deliver advantages of scale and quality required by global clients in the chosen verticals. While the opportunity in outsourcing is large, the requirements from products and service solutions providers in this sector are often stringent. They continue to enjoy a sterling reputation as a ‘Partner of Choice’ to almost all top players within pharmaceuticals and life sciences.

 

Their strategy of continuously moving up the value chain into life sciences and pharmaceuticals businesses with expanded geographic reach and ongoing investments in RandD has yielded excellent results. This is exemplified by their long standing relationships with 19 of the top 20 pharmaceutical and 6 of the top 10 agrochemical companies of the world. Over the years the Company has consolidated its position and has truly transformed itself into a global life sciences player.

 

 

THEIR BUSINESS STRATEGY

 

Their strategic objective is to continue to maintain and establish leading market positions in select key business lines to drive profitable growth. As such, they have implemented the following core business strategies:

 

Global leadership in chosen lines of business and increasing market share by continuing to grow their product portfolio - Their success is derived from their ability to select attractive product candidates in niche markets and to increase capacity utilisation for higher sales volume at optimum cost.

 

Capitalise on their strong customer relationships to creating and pursuing growth opportunities – They believe in providing quality products with high service levels which help in establishing long lasting relationships with their customers. Their track record of compliance to global standards and regulations is an important factor in obtaining timely regulatory approvals helping in maintaining stable key accounts.

 

Optimise their margins while maintaining prudent financial policies - by leveraging their existing sales capabilities and administrative functions across an expanded revenue base, thereby gaining scale in operations. They estimate that no major capital expenditure for their businesses is needed in the short term as their existing capacities are sufficient to drive growth until FY 2015 and they anticipate using their free cash flows towards overall debt reduction.

 

The focus has now been on generating free cash flows from operations to reduce the overall debt of the consolidated entity to further strengthen the Balance Sheet. The board has formed a committee to explore various options of raising foreign currency bonds up to US$ 250 million for the purpose of prepayment of the existing debt and other general corporate purposes without increasing the overall net debt levels of the company in the best interests of the company and all its stakeholders.

 

 

I. PHARMACEUTICALS

 

The pharmaceuticals segment which accounted for 52% of their total revenue from operations (net) in the FY ended March 31, 2013, had increased revenue from operations (net) of 22% to Rs.26,580 million from Rs.21,764 million in the FY ended March 31, 2012.

 

 

ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS (APIS)

 

Commonly known as bulk actives or bulk drugs, APIs are mixed with other components to produce tablets, capsules or liquids. They have a clear focus on production of APIs for Cardiovascular System (CVS) and Central Nervous System (CNS) therapeutic areas besides few Anti-infective and Anti-ulcerants.

 

They are increasing their APIs product portfolio by entering first in markets, improving their cost competitiveness through efficient manufacturing processes and systems, accelerating Drug Master File (DMF) filings, entering into and expanding relationships with major US, European and Indian generic companies for sale of their APIs, and continuing to build on their previous track record. Their APIs are exported worldwide, into emerging as well as developed markets. Their key markets are North America, South America, Europe, Japan, Korea, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries, the Middle East and Australia. Their API customers are leading global generic companies.

 

As of March 31, 2013, they have 27 APIs available through commercial scale plants, of which Carbamazepine, Oxcarbazepine, Citalopram, Lamotrigine, Donepezil, Pinaverium Bromide, Meclizine and Azithromycin Monohydrate are the most significant. They are constantly working to ensure that all plant lines provide the desired turnover, with least downtime and optimal product mix.

 

They filed 50 DMFs during the year, out of which 7 were in the US, 15 across Europe, 1 Certificates of suitability to European Pharmacopoeia (CEPs), 4 in Canada and 23 in Rest of World (ROW). During the year, they launched multiple products across regions. As of March 31, 2013, they have filed 65 DMFs in the US, 29 CEPs in Europe, 33 in Canada, 6 in Japan and over 100 filings in other countries.

 

APIs business witnessed 13% increase in revenue to Rs.5081 million in the FY ended March 31, 2013, from Rs.4,486 million in the FY ended March 31, 2012, largely due to an increase in demand for their existing products. The increase in sales volume revenue was partially offset by lower sales prices achieved across most of the APIs.

 

To tap the opportunity of increased demand and to counter challenges from reducing prices, they are aggressively optimising and de-bottlenecking their operations by using existing infrastructure to maximise throughput. Their future development will be driven by their strategic objective of focusing and specialising in certain therapeutic areas and integrating vertically to the formulation development, wherein lies their strength of APIs.

 

 

SOLID DOSAGE FORMULATIONS

 

The Solid Dosage Formulations business is supported by their in-house RandD facility for formulation development and regulatory filings, in-house Clinical Research Organisation (CRO) for conducting bio-equivalence studies for the generics RandD program and cost effective manufacturing from India, while deriving benefit from backward integration from their API business. They focus primarily on manufacture and sale of proprietary solid dosage formulations including value-added formulations for CVS, CNS and Anti-allergy categories.

 

They are also expanding the sales reach in the United States directly to government agencies and distributors through their subsidiary Jubilant Cadista and continuing to award strategic licenses for their products to third parties in various European countries with regulatory support from their subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2013, they have 31 commercialised products across geographies including the United States and Europe. They are one of the largest exporters of oral solid formulations to Japan. This business develops first-to-market generic drugs, innovative drugs, over-the-counter drugs and line extensions. Their range of products also includes value-added formulations and special formulations such as taste masking, flash tablets, oral dispersible forms, chewable tablets and modified release forms.

 

They enjoy leadership in the US for Methylprednisolone, Terazosin and Lamotrigine and figure among the top 3 in Meclizine, Cyclobenzaprine, Prochlorperazin, Donepezil and HCTZ Caps. Their key strengths in Europe also include regulatory affairs services, formulation development, licensing of marketing authorisations in addition to supplies of Solid Dosage Formulations to makers of generic products.

 

Revenues for FY 2013 witnessed 55% increase to Rs.8,315 million from Rs.5,366 million in the FY ended March 31, 2012, driven primarily by volume growth in existing commercial products. This was made possible by an increase in capacity utilisation in their Roorkee plant and new product launches in various regions during the FY ended March 31, 2013. During the year, they launched multiple products across regions.

 

As of March 31, 2013, they have 58 ANDAs filings in the United States, 41 dossiers in Europe, 20 filings in Canada and over 500 filings in other countries. 25 ANDAs in the United States and 35 dossiers in Europe have already been approved and 33 ANDAs in the United States, 13 in Canada and 6 products in Europe are pending approval.

 

While they see opportunity for growth in Canada through tie ups with local Canadian companies for product supplies, in Europe, they are focusing on distribution agreements and profit sharing agreements to help them get higher penetration and an opportunity to recover development cost from licensing out, life time business and cost sharing. They are also licensing out wherein they invest in development of dossiers and then find customers. In South Africa, they see opportunity by supplying to retail chains and have tied up with various pharmacy chains and pharmaceuticals distributors. They are out-licensing to local South African companies too. They plan to tap into Russia and Commonwealth of Independent States by supplying to retail chains and distributors, Out-licensing to local companies. In Ukraine, they look to register the products in their brand names and tie up with sales and marketing company. In Latin America, they target enhanced sales through new launches, focus on filings in Brazil and commercialise countries like Chile, Peru and Costa Rica for top line growth. They also plan to enter Mexico and launch select generic products.

Their Pyridines and Beta Picoline capacity utilisation was close to 90% in FY 2013.

 

Advanced Intermediates global business is driven by dynamism of two co-products with highly competitive market and concentrated supplier structure. The low entrance barrier has paved way for many new Chinese players. This is coupled with few big customers and then highly fragmented customer base. In such a scenario, key differentiation is primarily based on manufacturing efficiencies. The past year saw them achieve market share of over 33% for Pyridine bases, helping them retain leadership position in the category.

 

They expect to maintain leadership position in Pyridine bases worldwide by maximising co-product utilisation through supply to Vitamins business, being the best in alpha chemistry and technological capabilities leading to be the lowest cost manufacturer and ensuring 100% compliance to environmental measures and Zero discharge.

 

They aim to become one of the Top 2 global supplier partners of chosen Pyridine derivatives by adding new products and Advanced Intermediates, achieving cost reduction, new product development and debottlenecking capacities of few Fine Chemicals. They are actively trying to work with innovator life science companies, for long term contracts of projects having synergy with us. They will keep working on present pipeline of 14 projects and keep developing new late phase pipeline for Exclusive Synthesis business potential.

 

In Crop Science Chemicals, they have formulated a definitive plan for their growth across regions. They plan to grow their agroactives business through presence in critical markets of Europe, Brazil and the US to become a global leader in the Pyridine based route of producing Chlorpyrifos by supplying Symtet, they plan to validate the bigger size column trials for optimising production and achieving longer batch time cycles. They also plan to ensure global compliance for Symtet like China Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical Substance notification, EU REACH and other forthcoming regulations. They enjoy excellent relationships with the global crop science active players.

 

 

NUTRITION INGREDIENTS

 

Their Nutrition Ingredients business is a fully integrated operation and primarily manufactures and markets Vitamin B3, which are formulated for human, pharmacological, cosmetics and animal feed consumption, as well as choline chloride (also referred to as Vitamin B4), an important feed additive for poultry. Vitamin B3 is also used extensively in human nutrition such as flour fortification, food enrichment, sports drinks, energy drinks, baby food and multi-vitamins and in animal nutrition as feed additives for the poultry, dairy and pork industry, and in pharmaceuticals such as diabetes and cholesterol-related drugs in cosmetics for skin color and texture improvement and the manufacture of other life sciences intermediates.

 

The biggest advantage they have is their integrated nature of operations. Beta Picoline manufactured under the Proprietary Products is the precursor to Niacin and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) produced. This provides them with the cost-advantage that is difficult for any player in the industry to match.

 

Revenues in FY 2013 witnessed 26% increase to Rs.2,648 million in the FY ended March 31, 2013 from Rs.2,108 million in the FY ended March 31, 2012, driven by sales volume increase as a result of enhanced capacity utilisation after the commissioning of the new facility at SEZ Bharuch in the FY ended March 31, 2012.

 

This year saw consolidation at operational and management structure level. They also divided the sales team into two teams (Straight Ingredients and Specialty Products) to increase focus in the targeted segments. There were a slew of such initiatives across Manufacturing, RandD, Supply Chain and Human Resources. They are focused on improving their share in Vitamin B3 through higher capacity utilisation. With the recent price increase announcement after a challenged FY 2013 when prices were low, they see opportunity to benefit both in terms of volumes and value, thereby improving their profitability. They are working towards building a global leadership position in Vitamin B3. They plan to capitalise on strength of Vitamin B3 positioning for the launch of new products in Nutritional space. With their improved quality of Niacinamide, their strategy is centered on aggressively building market share in regions other than US, Europe and China. De-risking their business is high on agenda and they continue to explore new products to diversify the Nutrition Ingredients portfolio.

 

In Animal Nutrition business, they will focus on new product development, new business development initiatives such as participation in expositions and achieving optimum capacity utilisations going forward. New launches as well as entry into new geographies for existing products will hold the key to success of their strategy.

 

 

LIFE SCIENCE CHEMICALS

 

Life Science Chemicals are organic intermediates, also known as Acetyls, which are precursors to Advance Intermediates and Fine Chemicals used in a range of applications such as pharmaceuticals, aromatics, adhesives, food, packaging, beverages, crop protection chemicals, textiles and other solvents. They produce various organic intermediates including Acetic Acid, Monochloro Acetic Acid, Acetic Anhydride, Ethyl Acetate and Sodium Monochloracetate, which are typically used in the manufacture of downstream products such as pharmaceuticals, crop protection chemicals and solvents. Life Science Chemicals is a capital intensive business in which scale of operations is imperative. They have leadership position in Acetyls in India and sizeable presence globally. They enjoy economies of scale. The business produces ‘Green Solvent’ Ethyl Acetate, which is being preferred by customers in all markets.

 

Their strength lies in some of these Acetyls being consumed by their other business verticals in production of value added Fine Chemicals and APIs. Strong integration and manufacturing efficiencies have helped them rank within the top 10 in key Acetyl products across the world. They have created large storage capacities at their plants and ports to ensure continued supplies of feedstock to the operation and to benefit from lower feedstock prices which are cyclical in nature, especially with respect to Ethyl Alcohol.

 

Revenues in FY 2013 witnessed 16% increase in Life Science Chemicals to Rs.11,171 million in the FY ended March 31, 2013 from Rs.9,598 million in the FY ended March 31, 2012, driven by volume growth largely as a result of more efficient capacity utilisation.

 

This year saw them growing and further consolidating their presence in Life Science Chemicals by enhancing utilisations from newly added capacities of Ethyl Acetate and Anhydride in the previous year. They have started bringing economies through alternate material usage and developing new suppliers for other raw material. They successfully demonstrated developing Mundra as new Exporting Port providing them opportunity for substantial savings in the logistics area.

 

As part of their constant endeavour to enter into long term supply contract with major ethanol suppliers in the region, they were able to develop the same, covering more than 50% of alcohol purchase. This year they were able to secure alcohol requirement from domestic market by avoiding high cost imports (which were higher by Rs.7-8/lit). This resulted in positive impact on profits. They successfully conducted pilot trials of feeding spent wash with 15% solid to bio-methanation reactor at Nira (normal spent wash has 10% soild). This will help them implementing the initiative for reducing effluent at Nira. In another initiative, they optimised alcohol cost by stopping slop fired boiler for four months as purchase alcohol was cheaper compared to manufacturing cost through this route, resulting in savings.

 

For them to achieve their objective of becoming a formidable Acetyls player globally, they see opportunity by building a more robust marketing and distribution platform to handle larger annual volumes. They are conscious of the challenges that face them and have formulated a detailed business development plan for the same. The risks they might face stem from changing Acetic Acid balance in their region. They aim to increase the profitability by utilising their existing capacity, by changing their product mix, targeting higher share in Middle-East, African and Asian Markets by replicating their hugely successful Europe model and looking at charting aggressive growth in domestic market by entering untapped accounts.

The Company won award and recognition from Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Kaizen Institute and Frost and Sullivan for various accomplishments in manufacturing excellence.

 

With respect to bringing about improvement in the Company, knowledge based newsletters were shared across all businesses, yellow and green belt trainings for corporate functions were undertaken covering many employees and a Kaizen scheme was launched to generate number of ideas on cost reduction, capacity enhancement and quality improvement.

 

Some of the key projects undertaken during the year are capacity debottlenecking projects through application of Lean Six Sigma and process simulation in APIs, Solid Dosage Formulations, Fine Chemicals and Exclusive Synthesis business, Supply Chain reengineering solutions in the area planning and sourcing by creating optimisation and business intelligence solutions in the pharmaceutical businesses customer delight projects in contract manufacturing businesses where critical cost savings and quality improvement projects were done to resolve chronic issues using design for Six Sigma techniques. In the last year an extensive emphasis was also created around effluent load reduction where extensive Raffinate reduction in Advance Intermediates, isolation of salts in APIs, reduction of fresh water usage in Acetyls, were accomplished. Total Productive Maintenance has been taken to the next level especially in Gajraula and Nanjangud (APIs) sites and significant improvements have been achieved in overall asset effectiveness. More than 100 green belts completed their requirements for certification by undergoing the Lean Six Sigma training and completing at least one Improvement project sponsored by their Functional Head. Cash to Cash cycle time reduction and working capital improvements were driven across all businesses by following best in class Lean and Supply Chain practices.

The Company is entitled to a refund of Rs.84.06 million as the amount paid during the period of dispute or secured by bank guarantees was not collected from its customers. Accordingly the Company has approached the State of Uttar Pradesh for the refund of the said amount. The amount paid has been shown as deposit.

 

viii. The State of Uttar Pradesh (UP) has also levied trade tax (VAT) in addition to the administrative fee on sale of

molasses within the State. The Hon’ble Allahabad High Court had struck down the levy of VAT on grounds that once an administrative fee, in the form of tax, has already been charged under a Special Act, no Trade Tax or VAT can be charged under a general act. The Hon’ble Supreme Court (SC) has also declined to grant stay in SLP filed by the State of UP and the VAT authorities are currently treating molasses as goods not subject to VAT. The Company discontinued paying VAT on molasses purchased during FY 2011- FY 2013. The issue of applicability of VAT on sale of molasses is pending before the Hon’ble S.C and in case it is decided in favour of the State of UP, VAT amounting to Rs.228.40 million would become payable on molasses purchased till FY 2013 and the net liability would be Rs.24.70 million after adjustment of VAT credit to the extent of Rs.203.70 million.

The development follows completion of FDA's review of the company's responses post the February letter and the subsequent re-inspection conducted at Jubilant's Montreal facility in September, 2013. This development successfully resolves the FDA issues at our Montreal facility, Jubilant Life Sciences said.

 

In February 2013, Jubilant Life Sciences had informed that one of its manufacturing facility, Jubilant HollisterStier General Partnership (JHS), located at Kirkland, Quebec, Canada was issued a Warning Letter (WL) by US FDA identifying significant violations of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) Regulations.

We expect the price uptrend in Pyridine and Nutrition Ingredients to continue. We have a strong pipeline in API’s and Solid Dosage Formulations.

USFDA ISSUES WARNING LETTER TO JUBILANT LIFE OVER CGMP NORMS

 

The US health regulator has found significant violations of good manufacturing norms at the Indian drug company Jubilant Life Sciences' Washington facility for finished pharmaceuticals.

 

The manufacturing facilities, Jubilant HollisterStier, LLC (JHS) located at Spokane, Washington state, was inspected between April 15 and May 10, 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) said in a warning letter to company's CEO Marcelo A Morales.

Investigators from USFDA found significant violations of current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals, it added.

 

"The violations cause your drug products to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 351 (a)(2)(B), in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to, or are not operated or administered in conformity with CGMP," USFDA said.

 

One of the specific violations which the investigators found was failure to establish written procedures, that are designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting to be sterile, and that include validation of all aseptic and sterilisation processes, it added.

 

The other violation was failure to adequately document all work orders associated with the April 2013 shutdown and include appropriate quality unit oversight.

 

"Your firm failed to assure an adequate system for cleaning and disinfecting aseptic processing areas and equipment," USFDA said.

 

"The company should take prompt action to correct the violations cited in this letter. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in legal action without further notice including, without limitation, seizure and injunction," it added.

 

"Within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter, please notify this office in writing of the specific steps that you have taken to correct and prevent the recurrence of violations, and provide copies of supporting documentation," USFDA said.

 

According to the company's website, the Spokane plant contract manufactures sterile injectables and allergenic extract.

Shares of Jubilant Life Sciences today ended at Rs 116.50 per scrip on BSE, down 2.51% from its previous close.

IDRI and Jubilant Chemsys Extend Research for TB Drug Discovery

24 Mar 14

Jubilant Chemsys, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jubilant Life Sciences, and one of the most recognized drug discovery research services organizations from Asia today announced an extension of collaborative partnership with Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI) for TB drug discovery. Today marks World TB Day, designated to build public awareness of the disease. Jubilant Chemsys offers drug discovery research services on Full Time Equivalent and Fees- for-services basis.

The collaboration in chemistry support has been in existence since 2009 as part of a joint effort with the Lilly TB Drug Discovery Initiative (LTI) and so far has generated hundreds of Novel Chemical Entities (NCEs) – some of which have now been identified for further exploration. Jubilant Chemsys, under the terms of agreement, so far had been offering philanthropic support and expertise in synthesis of NCEs to support the early research in TB.

Commenting on the collaboration, Dr. Subir Basak, President, Jubilant Drug Discovery Services “Jubilant is excited to extend the partnership with IDRI in identifying and discovering novel chemical entities in the area of tuberculosis. We are glad that the collaboration is leveraging our chemistry talent and our experience in anti-bacterial research. The research outcome will address the current unmet medical need in the field of TB therapy - a growing concern in under developed and developing economies including India.”

“We have been impressed with the commitment and engagement from Jubilant Chemsys in support of TB drug discovery over the past few years. We are excited to expand our efforts with them to access additional synthetic and medicinal chemistry capabilities. This will take us another step closer to our goal of developing much-needed new drugs to combat tuberculosis.” Tanya Parish, Ph.D., IDRI, Vice President of Drug Discovery.

IDRI is a founding member of both the LTI and the TB Drug Accelerator, a unique partnership funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation that targets the discovery of new TB drugs by collaborating on early-stage research. The Foundation recently awarded IDRI $3.4 million in additional funding to Tanya Parish, Ph.D., IDRI Vice President of Drug Discovery, and supplements an earlier grant awarded in 2010, for a total of $7.8 million. The grant is focused on identifying new leads and drug targets for tuberculosis with the ultimate goal of producing new drugs to treat TB.

“Jubilant has been extremely successful in advancing several validated hit series for the Lilly Initiative, and we are very pleased to see this progress recognized through the ability to expand the Jubilant collaboration with IDRI.  We are very grateful to Jubilant for all they have done to get us to this point, and look forward to reaching our goals through this expanded partnership.”  Dr. Philip Hipskind, Ph.D., Lilly, Distinguished Research Fellow and Leader of the Lilly Initiative.

With this association, Jubilant will continue to provide chemistry and medicinal chemistry support to IDRI. The company is also evaluating further liaisoning with IDRI in key functional areas like computational chemistry and Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) Services. 

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of human tuberculosis, a devastating infectious disease that kills about 1.5 million and infects more than eight million people each year. There is an increasing threat from multi-drug resistant and extremely drug resistant strains, demonstrating the need to develop more effective, cheaper and faster-acting drugs – the prime focus of IDRI’s Discovery Program, led by Parish.

USFDA ISSUES WARNING TO JUBILANT LIFE OVER CGMP NORMS

The US health regulator has found significant violations of good manufacturing norms at the Indian drug company Jubilant Life Sciences ' Washington facility for finished pharmaceuticals.

The manufacturing facilities, Jubilant HollisterStier, LLC (JHS) located at Spokane, Washington state, was inspected between April 15 and May 10, 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) said in a warning letter to company's CEO Marcelo A Morales.

Investigators from USFDA found significant violations of current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for finished pharmaceuticals, it added.

"The violations cause your drug products to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 USC 351 (a)(2)(B), in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, processing, packing, or holding do not conform to, or are not operated or administered in conformity with CGMP," USFDA said.

One of the specific violations which the investigators found was failure to establish written procedures, that are designed to prevent microbiological contamination of drug products purporting to be sterile, and that include validation of all aseptic and sterilisation processes, it added.

The other violation was failure to adequately document all work orders associated with the April 2013 shutdown and include appropriate quality unit oversight.

"Your firm failed to assure an adequate system for cleaning and disinfecting aseptic processing areas and equipment," USFDA said.

"The company should take prompt action to correct the violations cited in this letter. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in legal action without further notice including, without limitation, seizure and injunction," it added.

"Within fifteen working days of receipt of this letter, please notify this office in writing of the specific steps that you have taken to correct and prevent the recurrence of violations, and provide copies of supporting documentation," USFDA said.

According to the company's website, the Spokane plant contract manufactures sterile injectables and allergenic extract.

Shares of Jubilant Life Sciences today ended at Rs 116.50 per scrip on BSE, down 2.51 percent from its previous close.

USFDA WARNING MAY HIT JUBILANT LIFE'S VALUATIONS: EXPERT

 

Jubilant Life Sciences  has received a warning letter from the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) for its plant is located at Spokane, Washington State, US. Shares of the company were locked at 10 percent lower circuit on Thursday (Read More). In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Surajit Pal, Pharma Analyst of Prabhudas Lilladher shared his views on this development and outlook for the stock.

 

Below is the verbatim transcript of Surajit Pal’s interview with CNBC-TV18

 

Q: What is your first take on this and whether this is the second US-FDA warning letter that Jubilant Life Sciences has received this year?

 

A: Yes and if this plant again receives a warning letter along with the other one in Canada, then it is a dent in terms of growth expectation for the company in same operations, which contributes roughly around 14 percent of the total revenue.

 

At the time when the company is recovering from downfall in price purchase agreements (PPAs) getting benefit of increasing price over there, their pharmaceutical business is facing this kind of a problem. Ultimately, what will happen is that the valuation increase that was happening from a very low level could be impacted going forward.

 

Q: How much do you think would have been factored in by the 8 percent fall in stock price today? Do you think going forward, the stock will underperform?

 

A: Being a midcap company and a huge underperformer over a period of time, people were expecting that return of price range in PPAs, which contributes roughly around 52 percent in first half mostly had contributed higher margin and pharmaceutical business, will at least maintain their 24-25 percent margin. That will be hampered now and the company will need a lot of capex, which is not good sign because it is already highly leveraged.

 

Q: They did have plans of raising around USD 250-300 million through the listing of their pharmaceutical business in Singapore, something which they had just announced a few weeks or maybe a month or so ago. Do you think that might be hampered now considering that the US-FDA has clamped down now?

 

A: Yes, I think it would be tough to sell the proposition when 14 percent of the total revenue is facing a scenario which could be banned from production and supply into US market which is the main market.

 

Q: How much do you think Jubilant Life Sciences needs this money simply because of the debt that they will have to service?

 

A: That is what management expressed that they will reduce a big chunk of that money to reduce debts.
