Segmental Analysis

Global Generics (GG)

Revenues from GG segment at Rs. 29.0 billion, year-on-year decline of 12%; decline primarily on account of lower contribution from North America and loss of sales from Venezuela. However, all the businesses have grown sequentially.

  • Revenues from North America at Rs. 16.1 billion. Year-on-year decline of 13% is primarily on account of increased competition in valgancyclovir and injectable franchise, coupled with pricing pressure and moderation in volumes off-take.

    During the quarter we launched 4 new products, i.e. omeprazole sodium bi-carbonate, nitroglycerin SLT, paricalcitol injection and bupropion SR.

    As of 30th September 2016, cumulatively 85 generic filings are pending for approval with the USFDA (83 ANDAs and 2 NDAs under 505(b)(2) route). Of these 83 ANDAs, 56 are Para IVs out of which we believe 19 have ‘First to File’ status. Further, these 83 ANDAs include 7 ANDAs, acquired from Teva, of which 6 are Para IVs.
  • Revenues from Emerging Markets at Rs. 4.8 billion, year-on-year decline of 27%. [Ex-Venezuela: decline of 9%]
    • Revenues from Russia at Rs. 2.7 billion, year-on-year decline of 8%. In constant currency it declined 5%. Normalizing for the base effect, the year-on-year H1 growth is 7%.
    • Revenues from other CIS countries and Romania market at Rs. 0.9 billion, year-on-year decline of 11%.
    • Revenues from Rest of World (RoW) territories at Rs. 1.3 billion, year-on-year decline of 53% primarily on account of no sales in Venezuela.
  • Revenues from India at Rs. 6.3 billion, year-on-year growth: 14%.
  • Revenues from Europe at Rs. 1.8 billion, year-on-year decline: 16%.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)

  • Revenues from PSAI at Rs. 5.8 billion, year-on-year decline of 2%. On a sequential basis revenues registered a growth of 23% aided by improved order flow and supply situations
  • During the quarter, 15 DMFs were filed globally of which 3 were in the US. The cumulative number of DMF filings as of 30th September, 2016 was 797.

Proprietary Products (PP)

Zembrace™ SymTouch™ (Suma 3 mg) injection and Sernivo™ (betamethasone dipropionate) Spray, 0.05% are gradually gaining traction.

Income Statement Highlights:

  • Gross profit margin at 56.0% and declined by ~530 bps over that of previous year, primarily on account of lower sales due to increased competitive intensity in some of our key molecules in the US. Gross profit margin for GG and PSAI business segments are at 62.3% and 22.0% respectively.
  • SG&A expenses at Rs. 11.8 billion, year-on-year increase of 6%.

    Given the Bombay High Court’s dismissal of the writ petition filed by the IPA (Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance) regarding price controls by the NPPA (National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority), the Company has accrued a potential liability of Rs. 344 million during the quarter.

    The net increase, adjusted for the above NPPA provision, is largely due to annual increments, additional manpower deployment in the past 12 months and other sales and marketing spend for events specific to this quarter.

    The sequential decline, adjusted for the above NPPA provision, is primarily on account of the reduced (a) remediation related costs and (b) launch spends by PP in the first quarter.
  • Research & development expenses at Rs. 5.2 billion. As a % to Revenues- Q2 FY17:14.5% | Q1 FY17: 14.8% | Q2 FY16: 11.2%. Current quarter also includes some spend towards the IPR&D assets in-licensed from Xenoport and Eisai. Continued focus on building complex generics, biosimilars and differentiated products pipeline.
  • Net Finance income at Rs. 365 million compared to the net finance expense of Rs. 216 million in Q2 FY16. The incremental benefit of Rs. 581 million is on account of:
    • Net foreign exchange gain of Rs. 37 million in the current quarter vs net foreign exchange loss of Rs. 388 million in the previous year
    • Increase in profit on sales of investments by Rs. 276 million.
    • Net increase in interest expense of Rs. 118 million.
  • Profit after Tax at Rs. 2.9 billion
  • Diluted earnings per share is at Rs. 17.8
  • Capital expenditure is at Rs. 3.1 billion.
