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.

EXPANSIONS

 

During FY12, the Company commenced work on an expansion at its Gagillapur facility. The expansion involved a capacity expansion in the PFI and Finished Dosage facilities. The expansion mainly focused on efficient design and output in terms of material transfer and automation.

 

Upon completion of the PFI module, the Company faced initial scale up issues. The problems were addressed by the technical team along with outside consultants. The Finished Dosage (FD) facility was expanded from an existing capacity of 6 billion doses to 18 billion doses. Both expansions were done in an existing facility and did not require further regulatory approvals and will be used for manufacturing products for the regulated markets after completion of trials and necessary approvals from relevant customers.

 

In addition, during FY13, the Company completed an upgrade of its existing warehouse and also commenced construction of a new warehouse at its Gagillapur facility. The existing Finished Goods and Raw Material Warehouses were modified with a mobile racking system which has increased capacity. The construction of a new warehouse commenced in FY13 at Gagillapur; construction is expected to be completed in FY14.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The Pharmaceutical Market

Global: Global medical spending is estimated to be around $1,200 billion in 2016, a growth rate of 3%-6% over the next few years. Developed markets are expected to experience their lowest annual growth this year, at less than 1% or $3 billion, and then rebound to $18-20 billion in annual growth in the 2014-16 period.

 

The market for branded medicines is likely to experience 0%-3% annual growth through 2016 to $615-$645 billion, up from $596 billion in 2011. In the major developed markets, branded medicine growth could be severely constrained at only $10 billion over the five-year period due to patent expiries, increased costcontainment actions by payers and modest spending on newly launched products. Global generic spending is expected to increase from $242 billion in 2011 to $400-430 billion by 2016, fueled by volume growth in pharmerging markets and the ongoing transition to generics in developed nations. The impact of patent expiries will be felt largely in the US whereas in Europe, limited savings from expiring patents are prompting policy shifts to encourage greater use of generics and lower reimbursement for these products.

 

The U.S. share of global spending is expected to decline from 41% in 2006 to 31% in 2016, while the share of spending from the top five European countries is expected to decline from 19% to 13%. Meanwhile, 17 high growth emerging markets are likely to contribute 30% of the total spending by 2016 as compared to 14% in 2006.

 

Granules’ Product Overview

Granules focuses on pharmaceutical products with high API and/or finished dosage volume requirements. In many high-volume pharmaceutical products, there are dozens of suppliers leading to oversupply. While there are large surpluses, high quality material for the regulated markets is in short supply and can only be serviced by a handful of suppliers.

 

Customers in the regulated markets and an increasingly growing number of customers in the semi-regulated markets require high-quality supplies. These customers value supply-based security and quality over pricing. Customers generally work closely with their suppliers’ regulatory and quality control departments; once they select a supplier, the customer usually stays with the supplier for years and only periodically reviews alternatives.

 

Due to increased accountability and consumer pressure, countries in the semi-regulated markets are implementing tighter controls and demanding increased stringent quality parameters.

 

Analgesics market

The analgesics market, which focuses on pain relief, is one of the largest segments of the healthcare industry with sales worth approximately $31 billion. The market is growing at a 2.7% CAG R. Going ahead, growth will be driven by an ageing population suffering chronic ailments and lifestyle diseases arising out of sedentary jobs.

 

Granules is among the leading producers of Paracetamol and Ibuprofen; the Company also competes in the Naproxen market. Paracetamol accounts for 58% of the analgesic market by volume and is widely used all over the world. Ibuprofen is the fastest growing product in the sector and is expected to surpass Aspirin, which is not growing as fast as it used to be. There are no analgesic products expected to replace the current leaders.

 

Paracetamol

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is used to reduce body pains, headaches and lower fevers. The Paracetamol market continues to grow but there are signs of consolidation within the industry and increasing challenges for Chinese Paracetamol manufacturers. While many of these manufacturers targeted the emerging markets, which offer lower margins, manufacturers were able to gain market share and grow profits. However, many of the advantages that Chinese manufacturers had including an undervalued Chinese currency, low employment costs and favourable interest rates are diminishing which has added pressures. In order to combat inflation, the Chinese government has let the RMB appreciate. During FY13, the RMB appreciated 1.5% which is slightly lower than the 3.0% appreciation in FY12. Due to the appreciation, the cost advantage from Chinese manufacturers has been greatly diminished which has added pressure for many manufacturers. In addition, labour and energy costs in China have increased by double-digits, which are adding further pressure for companies. Also, there is an increasing focus on quality from companies in the emerging markets which is resulting in extra costs for many Chinese manufacturers since they must adjust their processes to adhere to more stringent standards. Due to these pressures, several Chinese manufacturers have shut down while others have sold their facilities to larger players. Due to the diminishing value proposition from Chinese manufacturers, many customers in the emerging markets are qualifying Indian manufacturers which has resulted in higher capacity utilization in FY13.

 

Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen is primarily used for arthritis relief and fever reduction. The drug is popular in North America and Western Europe, which account for nearly 60% of global sales. Ibuprofen is a more complex analgesic to manufacture compared to Paracetamol which is why there are not as many suppliers. There are six primary manufacturers in the Ibuprofen market, which is growing in the mid-to-high single digits. The drug is becoming more popular due to an ageing population that wants to maintain their lifestyle. The Ibuprofen market, which faced pricing pressures in FY11 due to new capacity, has rebounded. Due to strong demand, pricing has increased in FY13 and appears to have stabilised.

 

Anti-Diabetic Market

The anti-diabetic market is extremely lucrative due to the growing number of people with diabetes. The number of people with diabetes is expected to grow from 246 million in 2008 to 380 million by 2025. The emerging markets are expected to be a major source of new diabetes cases as they adapt Western lifestyles. There are multiple classes of drugs to treat diabetes which range from cheap, first-line therapy to expensive, advanced therapies

 

Ø       Biguanides: The most popular drug in this category is Metformin, which lowers glucose levels. This is often used as the first response for Type II diabetes

 

Ø       DPP-4 Inhibitors: This is the latest generation of diabetes drugs and over the next decade, several products will be released

 

Diabetic cases are spread evenly throughout the world and there is a large opportunity for cost effective medication

 

Metformin

Metformin, a prescription drug, is the first biguanide oral anti-diabetic agent to be approved by the U.S. FDA after phenformin (phenethylbiguanide) was banned in the U.S. in 1977. Due to its relatively low cost and higheffectiveness, metformin is often used as a first-line therapy for patients with type-II diabetes

 

Annual production capacity for metformin is approximately 65,000 tonnes. Due the rising number of diabetic patients in the world, demand for Metformin is increasing and multiple suppliers are increasing capacity in order to meet global demand. The market is growing in the mid-teens and is expected to maintain the growth rate for the foreseeable future.

 

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Granules has a presence across the pharmaceutical manufacturing value chain. The Company’s operations are spread across four facilities – three in India and one in China.

 

ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS (API)

 

The Company’s API vertical continued to report double-digit growth despite the markets for most of these products reporting single-digit growth. Granules entered this segment in 1984 through the manufacture of Paracetamol APIs and expanded into other products like Ibuprofen and Metformin. Over the decades, the Company emerged among premier global API manufacturers due to a combination of scale, quality, compliance and reliability.

 

The Company has three API facilities; two located in India and a third in China. Due to a delay in the Gagillapur expansion, the Company marketed a larger quantity of APIs in FY13 but anticipates that its APIs will be progressively consumed largely for captive consumption in the future. The API vertical will continue to be critical to the Company’s success since it will continue to represent the starting point of the Company’s PFI and FD verticals.

 

FY13 Highlights,

Ø       API revenues increased 40% from Rs.1810.000 millions in FY12 to Rs.2520.000 millions.

Ø       Several initiatives to increase API capacity were implemented, a number of these finishing in late Q4FY12. The additional capacity was utilised in FY13.

Ø       The delay in the Gagillapur Formulation expansion resulted in an increase API sales; APIs will be used more for captive consumption in FY14.

 

PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION INTERMEDIATES (PFI)

 

Granules pioneered the concept of commercialising PFIs, saving customers the need to manufacture their own PFIs and leaving them free to focus on finished dosage manufacture and marketing. Granules entered this business segment in the early-90s following an insight that most APIs were not suitable for compression in their crystalline or amorphous forms because they lacked the necessary binding, lubricating and disintegrating properties. This made it necessary for APIs to be granulated first to enhance functionality. Manufacturers would be able to granulate but not able to derive operational efficiencies if they focused on dozens of products or if they only produced the product for only a few days at a time. This pulled down the overall return from their investments especially because PFI manufacture accounts for 80% of the total cost of a finished dosage.

 

The Company, through its PFI facilities at Gagillapur and Jeedimetla, is a leader in manufacturing PFIs and has the world’s largest capacity. The manufacturing facility uses high-shear and fluid-bed granulation processes with a 6 ton batch size, the largest in the industry.

 

FY13 Highlights

Ø       Revenue increased 10% from Rs.1970.000 millions in FY12 to Rs.2160.000 millions.

Ø       The Company commercialized its Gagillapur facility expansion in March 2013; customer validations commenced in March 2013 and are expected to be completed in FY14.

 

FINISHED DOSAGES (FD)

 

At Granules, the manufacture of finished dosages represents the apex of the value chain. The Company entered this business in FY09 with an installed capacity of six billion tablets. The business accounts for 31% of the Company’s revenues.

 

Granules’ finished dosage facility in Gagillapur comprises automated processes, robust infrastructure and superior quality systems that efficiently produce finished dosages. Granules offers multiple finished dosage forms comprising tablets, caplets and press fit capsules in bulk, blister packs and bottles. The Company is the only Indian pharmaceutical player to manufacture press-fit (rapid release tablets) dosages and among the few in India to manufacture bi-layered tablets.

 

FY13 Highlights

Ø       Revenue increased 14% from Rs.1850.000 millions in FY12 to Rs.2130.000 millions.

Ø       The Company commercialised the expansion of its Gagillapur facility, which substantially increased capacity from March 2013 onwards. Customer validations started in March 2013 and are expected to finish in FY14.

GRANULES INDIA’S FY14 SALES INCREASE 43% TO RS.10960.000 MILLIONS; NET PROFIT JUMPS 131% TO RS.750.000 MILLIONS

 

Hyderabad, April 24, 2014: Granules India Limited, a fast growing pharmaceutical manufacturing company, announced financial results for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Granules consolidated net sales increased 43% to Rs.10960.000 millions while consolidated net profit increased 131% to Rs.750.000 millions.

 

Financial Highlights for Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2014

• Net Sales: Rs.10960.000 millions, an increase of 43% compared to Rs.7640.000 millions in FY13

• EBITDA: Rs.1630.000 millions, an increase of 87% compared to Rs.870.000 millions in FY13

• PBT: Rs.1120.000 millions, an increase of 143% compared to Rs.460.000 millions in FY13

• Net Profit: Rs.750.000 millions, an increase of 131% compared to Rs.330.000 millions in FY13

• Basic EPS: Rs.37.20 per share as compared to Rs.16.21 per share in FY13.

 

The Company reported record sales of Rs.10960.000 millions including Rs.3170.000 millions in Q4FY14, its highest revenue in a quarter. The Q4FY14 revenue was 55% higher than the corresponding quarter in FY13 and marks the sixth consecutive quarter of higher sequential sales.

 

Growth was driven by strong performance across all manufacturing facilities including the Company’s Chinese JV. The primary growth driver in FY14 was led by the Company’s commercialization of its PFI and Finished Dosage expansion at the Gagillapur facility. The Company improved utilization in the newly expanded facility throughout the year and expects to continue improving utilization in the future. In addition, the API facilities continued to increase production which contributed to strong sales.

 

On a standalone basis, the Finished Dosage business contributed the largest share of revenue at 35% while PFI and API contributed 33% and 32%, respectively. This is compared to 31%, 32% and 37% for Finished Dosages, PFI and API, respectively in FY13.

In addition to strong revenue growth, profitability margins expanded in the fiscal year. EBITDA grew 87% to Rs.1630.000 millions in FY14; the margin expanded 345 basis points to 14.8% During Q4FY14, the EBITDA margin was 16.2%, the highest for the year and an improvement of 227 basis points as compared to the corresponding quarter in FY13. Net Profit was Rs.750.000 millions, the highest in the Company’s history and an increase of 131% as compared to FY13. The net profit margin improved by 261 basis points to 6.9%

 

Profitability outpaced revenue growth due to several reasons. First, the Company improved its economy of scale by increasing production utilization in its newly expanded PFI and Finished Dosage capacity at the Gagillapur facility. Due to the increased utilization, the product mix shifted more towards finished dosages which bolstered profitability. Also, due to the Company’s focus on operational excellence, the API units also increased capacity through de-bottlenecking which drove profitability. Granules believes the profitability margins from the standalone operations are sustainable.

 

Due to the Company’s strong performance, the Board of Directors has recommended to increase the dividend to 35% of equity value or Rs.3.50/share from the rate of 20% (Rs.2.00 per share) that was paid in fiscal year 2013.

“The past fiscal year was exciting for Granules. We were able to increase sales while improving profitability due to our relentless focus on delivering high-quality material at a cost-effective price. We believe our product portfolio offers compelling opportunities and we will continue to strengthen our leadership position. In addition to growing our core business, we have been looking at opportunities to diversify our sales by leveraging our core competency of efficient manufacturing. In FY14, Granules made its first acquisition by purchasing Auctus Pharma. The acquisition of Auctus fits into our strategy of being a fully integrated manufacturer while diversifying our product portfolio by adding high-value products with significant market demand. In the short-to-midterm, we will focus on selling APIs from the Auctus portfolio to customers in the regulated markets. Over the long-term, we will add value by offering finished dosages from select APIs in the same portfolio. While we’re certainly happy with the

progress we made in FY14, we have our eyes toward the future. We will continue to strengthen our model and build systems that are sustainable as we continue to scale-up” said Krishna Prasad, Managing Director of Granules India.
