MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

GLOBAL ECONOMY

 

Global economic growth continued to remain uneven in FY 2014-15 and showed disparate rates of advancement for developing and emerging economies. The US economic recovery gained strength driven by improved labour market conditions and rise in consumer sentiment. The UK economy performed better than expected, as services remained the biggest driver of growth, followed by manufacturing. Construction also picked up, which augured well for the economy. Eurozone, on the other hand, continued to grapple with uncertainties for most of the year, although the economic growth of the region was aided by drop in oil prices, growing exports on the back of a weak Euro and an accommodative monetary policy.

 

In the emerging world, China’s economic growth rates fumbled owing to the spiraling credit burden on the economy, slowdown in housing sector and weakness in factory output. China’s population is greying and the investment scenario is also showing signs of stress. These factors can impact the country’s economic performance, going forward. Emerging markets across Latin America also witnessed sluggish growth owing to low commodity prices. Despite challenges, the overall growth prospects for Africa, continued to be robust. Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to touch 4.5% in 2015 and 5% in 2016 with acceleration in private investments and domestic consumption.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY

 

Against the backdrop of a not-so-encouraging global economic performance, India stands out in the crowd. There are credible reasons for this optimism. First, the GDP growth rate bounced back to 7.3% in FY 2014-15 on the back of strong growth oriented policies adopted by the new government. Second, the menace of high inflation moderated (prompting the RBI to cut repo rates) and both fiscal and current account deficits narrowed during the year. Third, the investment scenario and consumer sentiments also improved significantly. However, more structural reforms are needed to deal with the legacy challenges that continue to pose roadblocks for economic development. The government has already initiated measures to kick-start new infrastructure investments and restart stalled projects. It is also putting more emphasis on education, skill building, employment, housing and social security for the masses, which bodes well for the economy, going forward. According to the Government of India’s latest Economic Survey, the share of stalled government projects as a proportion of GDP is declining. A uniform Goods and Services Tax (GST) across India and more focus on federalism are expected to create even stronger multipliers of growth across the economy.

 

GLOBAL PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

 

The global pharmaceutical industry experienced steady growth of over 6.4% to reach US$ 1,057.1 Billion in 2014, driven by strong growth in key therapeutic segments (oncologic, antidiabetics, pain, antihypertensive and antibacterial). Global spending on medicines is expected to touch US$ 1.3 trillion by 2018. The developed markets— led by the US will continue to be a key driver of growth, going forward.

 

Pharmerging countries’ share in global pharmaceutical industry will continue to rise. Growth in these markets will be driven by rising incomes, increased healthcare access and growing focus for branded generics. As more pharma companies foray into new growth markets, they also face the challenge of an increasingly intricate, demanding and fast changing regulatory environment.

Press Release

 

SUN PHARMA TO SELL RANBAXY'S 2 CNS DIVISIONS TO STRIDES FOR RS 165.000 MILLION

 

Sun and Strides have entered into a definitive agreement related to 'Solus' and 'Solus Care', operating in the central nervous system segment in India

 

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd is selling erstwhile Ranbaxy's two divisions in central nervous system (CNS) segment in India to Strides Arcolab for Rs 1650.000 Million.


Sun Pharma and Strides have entered into a definitive agreement related to erstwhile Ranbaxy's 'Solus' and 'Solus Care' divisions operating in the central nervous system (CNS) segment in India, the company said .


The agreement involves transfer of these two marketing divisions, along with employees to Strides for a consideration of Rs 165 crore, it added.


Commenting on the development, Sun Pharma CEO-India Business Abhay Gandhi said: "The agreement with Strides is part of our strategy to firmly consolidate our CNS business in India." Post successful completion of Ranbaxy's merger, Sun had an opportunity to assess the entire portfolio of its India Business, he added.


"We have evaluated each and every therapy segment that we are present in and how these businesses can grow going forward. Based on this evaluation, we firmly believe that the potential of Solus and Solus Care divisions can be greatly enhanced with the focus that Strides will put in growing them. The divestment will help these divisions, its customers and the team," Gandhi said.


Strides India President (Brands) Subroto Banerjee said, the acquisition of Solus and Solus Care divisions is of strategic significance to the growth of the company's branded business in India.


"The rich product portfolio and capable teams of these two divisions will help us establish a strong footing in the fast growing CNS market of India," he said, adding the product portfolio of Strides and these divisions will strategically complement each other very well.


"The speciality nature of CNS products makes brand equity and customer relationships, key determinants of success. The Solus and Solus Care divisions readily qualify for both these parameters," Banerjee said.

Sun Pharma said as per IMS July 2015 MAT report, all the products of these two divisions together accounted for approximately Rs 92 crore in sales.


The transaction is subject to approval from the Competition Commission of India and other customary closing conditions while all other terms and conditions of the transaction are kept confidential.


Earlier this month Sun Pharma had announced plans to sell a manufacturing facility in Ireland that was owned by Ranbaxy as part of its rationalisation programmer post completion of their $4 billion merger.
