CORPORATE INFORMATION: (As on 31.03.2014)

 

The Company is a public domiciled in India and incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956. Its shares are listed on two stock exchanges in India. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and selling of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), Pharmaceutical Formulation Intermediates (PFIs) and Finished Dosages (FDs). The Company caters to both domestic and international markets.

 

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS (As on 31.03.2014)

 

The Company posted very good results during the financial year FY 14. The Company reported record sales of Rs.10016.799 Million in the FY 14 compared to net sales of Rs.6797.970 Million in FY 13, registering growth of 47.35% in the current financial year. The Company’s growth was driven by strong performance across all manufacturing facilities. The primary growth driver in FY 14 was led by the Company’s commercialization of its PFI and Finished Dosage expansion at its 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 FY 13.

 

The EBITDA stood at Rs.1666.557 Million in FY 14 compared to Rs.807.756 Million in FY 13, registering a growth of 106.32%. The profit after tax for FY 14 stood at Rs.810.114 Million compared to Rs.301.753 Million in FY 13, registering a growth of 168.47% in the current financial year. The 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. The Company believes the profitability margins from the standalone operations are sustainable.

 

The Company was able to increase sales due to relentless focus on delivering high-quality material at a cost-effective price. The Company believes that its product portfolio offers compelling opportunities and will continue to strengthen its leadership position. In addition to growing its core business, it has been looking at opportunities to diversify its sales by leveraging its core competency of efficient manufacturing. In FY 14, Company made its first acquisition by purchasing Auctus Pharma Limited (‘Auctus’). The acquisition of Auctus fits into Company’s strategy of being a fully integrated manufacturer while diversifying its product portfolio by adding high-value products with significant market demand. In the shortto- mid term, Company will focus on selling APIs from the Auctus portfolio to customers in the regulated markets. Over the long-term, it will add value by offering Finished Dosages from select APIs in the same portfolio. The Company will continue to strengthen its model and build systems that are sustainable as it continue to scale-up.

 

 

EXPANSIONS (As on 31.03.2014)

 

During FY 14, the Company commercialized its expansion at the 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. During the year, the Company received customer approvals for both expansions and capacity utilization increased accordingly. The Company also continued construction of a new central warehouse at its Gagillapur plant in FY 14.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (As on 31.03.2014)

 

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

 

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

 

Quality conscious customers value supply 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.

 

In addition, branded formulation and branded generics manufacturers typically grow faster than the overall market since they are gaining market share at the expense of lesser known suppliers. As new consumers gain access to pharmaceutical products, they become likely to purchase the brand of a well-known manufacturer whether it is an innovator or a generics manufacturer.

 

 

PRODUCT BASKET (As on 31.03.2014)

 

ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENT (API)

 

The Company’s API portfolio went through a tremendous shift in FY14 due to the acquisition of Auctus Pharma. The acquisition will introduce more than a dozen API s across several therapeutic sectors including anti-histamine, antihypertensive, anti-fungal as well as others. The portfolio includes drugs such as Cetrizine, Clopidogrel Bisulphate, Fluconazole, Losartan Potassium, Rifaximin and Valsartan. The APIs will be made in a separate API facility in Vizag. These are higher in value than Granules’ existing portfolio and offer tremendous opportunity for the Company.

 

The Company’s core API portfolio 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 such as Ibuprofen and Metformin.

 

Over the decades, the Company emerged among premier global API manufacturers due to a combination of scale, quality, compliance and reliability. Going forward, more of the APIs from the core portfolio will be used for captive consumption whether it is for PFIs or Finished Dosages. 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.

 

PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION INTERMEDIATES (PFI) (As on 31.03.2014)

 

Granules pioneered the concept of commercializing PFIs, saving customers the need to manufacture their own PFIs and leaving them free to focus on finished dosage manufacturing and marketing.

 

Granules entered this business segment in the early- 90s following an insight that most Finished Dosage manufacturers were not efficiently producing PFIs. Manufacturers were granulating but not able to derive operational efficiencies because they focused on dozens of products or only created the product in limited runs. 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. The capacity at the Gagillapur facility was expanded in FY14 and continues to be de-bottlenecked.

 

 

FINISHED DOSAGE (FD) (As on 31.03.2014)

 

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 and expanded it to eighteen billion tablets in FY14. The business accounts for 35% of the Company’s standalone revenue.

 

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.
