Segmental Analysis

Global Generics (GG)

Revenues from GG segment at Rs.30.5 billion. Year-on-year growth of 7%, primarily driven by contributions from Emerging Markets, India and favorable forex. Quarter-on-quarter the sales remained flat.

  • Revenues from North America at Rs.14.3 billion. Year-on-year decline is 0.4%. Sequential decline of 10%, primarily due to absence of gSuboxone sales in Q2, competitive pricing pressure on some of the key molecules offset by favourable forex benefit.

    As of 30th Sep 2018, cumulatively 113 generic filings are pending for approval with the USFDA (110 ANDAs and 3 NDAs under 505(b)(2) route). Of these 110 ANDAs, 63 are Para IVs out of which we believe 32 have ‘First to File’ status.
  • Revenues from Emerging Markets at Rs.7.5 billion. Year-on-year growth is 36%. Sequential growth is 13%. Growth is primarily on account of improved volume offtake in our existing markets and scale up in our new markets.
  • Revenues from Russia at Rs.3.8 billion. Year-on-year growth of 18%. Growth primarily driven by new launches and improved volume offtake in some of the key molecules marginally offset by unfavourable forex.
  • Revenues from other CIS countries and Romania market at Rs.1.4 billion. Year-on-year growth of 56%.
  • Revenues from Rest of World (RoW) territories at Rs.2.3 billion. Year-on-year growth of 65%, primarily driven by new markets and volume traction in base business.
  • Revenues from India at Rs.6.9 billion. Year-on-year growth of 8%. Growth was primarily driven by new products and improvement in base business.
  • Revenues from Europe at Rs.1.9 billion. Year-on-year decline of 21%, primarily on account of higher price erosion in some of the key molecules.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)

  • Revenues from PSAI at Rs.6.0 billion. Year-on-year growth of 7% and sequential growth of 11%, growth driven by volume traction in some of our key molecules.

Proprietary Products (PP)

  • Revenues from PP at Rs.776 million. Year-on-year growth of 4% and sequential growth of 7%.

Income Statement Highlights:

  • Gross profit margin at 55.0%.
  • Improved by ~170 bps over that of previous year and declined by ~70 bps sequentially.
  • Sequential decline attributable to the contribution from gSuboxone sales in Q1FY19. Ex-Suboxone marginal improvement in margin led by higher contribution from branded generics markets, favorable forex partially offset by price erosion in some of our key molecules.
  • Year-on-year improvement primarily aided by contribution from new launches, improved leverage, better product mix coupled with favorable foreign exchange. This was partially offset by higher price erosions 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 59.3% and 28.1% respectively.
  • SG&A expenses at Rs.12.4 billion, increase of 12% on a year-on-year basis and 2% sequentially. Adjusted for the forex related increase, the balance increase is primarily on account of normal salary increments and increased spend towards promotion and branding activities.
  • R&D expenses at Rs.4.1 billion. As % to Revenues- Q2 FY19: 10.8% | Q1 FY 19: 11.2% | Q2 FY18: 11.8%
  • Other income includes gain of Rs.464 million on account of sale of rights relating to Cloderm brand (including its authorized generic) and profit on sale of antibiotic manufacturing facility in Bristol, US.
  • Net Finance income at Rs.625 million compared to net finance expense of Rs.2 million in Q2FY18.
  • Profit after Tax at Rs.5.0 billion. Effective tax rate for the quarter is 12.8%. Lower rate is primarily on account of profit mix and favourable resolutions of certain tax related litigations pertaining to earlier years.
  • Diluted earnings per share is at Rs.30.31.
  • Capital expenditure is at Rs.1.4 billion.
