• Cipla gets tentative USFDA nod for anti-HIV-1 drug

Administration (USFDA) for marketing Lopinavir/Ritonavir tablets in the strength of 200

mg and 500 mg. The drug is generic equivalent of Abbott Laboratories (ABT) Kaletra

• Cipla inks pact with Swiss pharma company

The company has signed a long-term collaboration agreement with Swiss specialty

pharmaceutical major Meda, to develop and market an anti-allergic rhinitis drug for

various global markets.

Under the terms of partnership, Cipla will manufacture the drug, which will treat an

ailment that causes a runny nose, and Meda will market the product in Europe, Japan,

Brazil, South Korea and Australia.

The partners are developing the product as a nasal spray to treat allergic rhinitis. The drug

is currently in the final phase of human clinical trials (Phase III) and the remaining clinical

studies are expected to be complete during the second half of 2010.

The drug under development is a combination of two drugs, Azelastine and fluticasone.

Azelastine is an anti-allergic drug and fluticasone is a corticosteroid, which is a class of

steroid hormones.

• Cipla to make biotech drugs

The company will foray into the production of biotechnology medicines soon.

The company is planning to set up a 50:50 joint venture partnership with a Chinese firm.

The JV will be based in India and will manufacture and market bio-similar products (off

patent biotechnology medicines) for domestic and overseas markets.

• USFDA clears Cipla's facilities

The company has successfully addressed all the nine manufacturing deficiencies pointed

out by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at its Bangalore manufacturing plant.

The company received an official communication about the approval from the USFDA

about a month back.

In April this year, the FDA issued form FDA 483s — an inspection re-port pointing out

deviations from US manufacturing standards — and listed nine deficiencies.

If Cipla had failed to resolve any of the nine deviations, FDA could have issued a warning

letter and halted approval of new drug applications from the facility.

While the FDA has banned some drugs of Ranbaxy, it seized 33 drugs made by Caraco

Pharmaceuticals at its Michigan facility. Mumbai-based Lupin had also received a warning

letter in May this year after it failed to address some of the deficiencies FDA noted in an

inspection last year.

Firstcall India Equity Advisors Pvt Ltd 7

Although, Cipla’s problem is not as serious as its counterparts, as FDA merely pointed out

manufacturing deficiencies, it is the only Indian company in recent times to address the

non-compliance issues and get a clean chit from the FDA. Cipla’s US sales are small

accounting for about 10% of its total sales of Rs 5,000 cr. and it has four plants in India

which supplies drugs to the US.

• Cipla calls off marketing alliance with Avesthagen

The company has terminated its marketing agreement with Avesthagen and is looking at

selling its 5.8% stake in the Bangalore-based company.

Cipla terminated the agreement due to Avesthagen’s alleged failure to meet targets.

Under the agreement, Avesthagen was supposed to develop the biosimilar products and

Cipla would have used its strong marketing force to commercialize and market it. Cipla

was, however, not happy with the progress of Avesthagen’s research.

The company clear that it wants a presence in the biosimilar space and is close to

finalizing a deal with a Chinese partner. Chinese partners are coming to Mumbai and

finalizing the details then. Homework is already done and only the implementation is left.

First biosimilar product in the cancer space will be commercialized by the end of 2011.

Cipla is keen on partnering with a Chinese player for its biosimilar venture since the

Chinese are strong in this space. The products will be developed in China and

manufactured in India. Indian companies are strong in chemical research, while Chinese

companies are experienced in biologic research. Such collaboration is a good mix.

• Cipla plans to raise Rs 15 bn to retire debt, fund capex

The company plans to raise Rs 15 billion either by issuing foreign currency convertible

bonds or through global depository receipts (GDRs) to clear its debt as well as finance its

capital expenditure.

The company has debt of Rs 8 billion and plans to invest Rs 5-6 billion in the next two

years. It also requires Rs 3 billion of working capital for the next two years. The new plant

at the SEZ in Indore is also under construction. The money raise will be used for these

purposes.

The company is looking at opportunities in China to partner with a company in the

biosimilar space.

• Govt. plans retail clamp on Cipla's Tamiflu substitute

Page 8: Cipla Ltd Sep09 Results Updated Detailed Reportim.sify.com/.../Finance/14921429_Cipla_Sep09Results.pdf · 2009-11-27 · If Cipla had failed to resolve any of the nine deviations,

Firstcall India Equity Advisors Pvt Ltd 8

Free use, as with Tamiflu, risks virus mutation and resistance. The company launched a

substitute medicine for oseltamivir to treat swine flu, will have to withdraw the stocks of

this drug, zanamivir, from retail markets. The central government is to notify a ban on

retail sale of this medicine, the only drug other than oseltamivir that is used worldwide to

treat swine flu.

Industry Overview

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is driving product development and breaking new grounds in

medicine research worldwide. The Indian domestic pharmaceutical market was estimated to be

US$ 10.76 billion in 2008 and is expected to grow at a high compound annual growth rate (CAGR)

of 9.9 per cent till 2010 and thereafter at a CAGR of 9.5 per cent till 2015.

Currently, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is one of the world's largest and most developed,

ranking 4th in volume terms and 13th in value terms. The country accounted for 8 per cent of

global production and 2 per cent of world markets in pharmaceuticals in 2008. The Indian

pharmaceutical off shoring industry is slated to become a US$ 2.5 billion opportunity by 2012,

thanks to lower R&D costs and a high-talent pool in India.

Exports

India exported drugs worth US$ 4.15 billion in 2007-08. Between April to December 2008, India

exported pharmaceutical products worth US$ 3.77 billion.

A report by industry research firm, RNCOS forecasts that pharmaceutical exports will grow at a

CAGR of 18.5 per cent between 2007-08 and 2011-12. This growth will be fuelled by multi-billion

dollar patent expirations and growth in the global generics market.

The domestic pharma retail market posted a healthy growth of 10 per cent in May over the

previous month. On a moving annual total basis (April 2008 to May 2009), the organized pharma

retail market grew by 10.4 per cent to US$ 7.40 billion, which was slightly higher than the

previous month's value of US$ 7.32 billion, according to consulting company, ORG-IMS.

A recent study by Yes Bank estimates the domestic formulations market to touch US$ 21.5 billion

by 2015. The Indian vaccine market was worth US$ 665 million in 2007-08 and is growing at over

20 per cent. Exports contribute over US$ 360 million, while the domestic market for vaccines is

US$ 300 million.

Rural Market

According to estimates rural areas account for 21 per cent of the country's pharmaceuticals

market. In 2006-07, the rural Indian pharmaceuticals market was estimated at around US$ 1.4

markets and hinterland districts.

Pharmaceutical Retail

India has 5.5 million chemists and druggists, and the organized retail market accounts for just 2

per cent of the industry but is posting a year-on-year growth of 30-40 per cent. The country's

pharmaceutical retail market is expected to cross the US$ 10 billion mark in 2010 and be worth

an estimated US$ 12 billion- US$ 13 billion by 2012.

Generics

According to a report by IMS Health, the Indian generic manufacturers will grow to more than

US$ 70 billion as drugs worth approximately US$ 20 billion in annual sales faced patent expiry in

2008. With nearly US$ 80 billion worth of patent-protected drugs to go off patent by 2012, Indian

generic manufacturers are positioning themselves to offer generic versions of these drugs.

Industry (CII) in September 2008.

Research & Development

The search for innovative drug molecules and better technologies by pharmaceutical MNCs is

expected to offer a windfall for the smaller research-oriented Indian firms.

MNCs, whose drug pipelines are drying up and more blockbuster drugs going off-patent, are

looking for alliances for drug co-development, buying or licensing out innovative molecules which

can further be developed into finished drugs. Smaller Indian firms such as Indus Biotech and

Rubicon Research are set to sign multiple deals with MNCs for molecules as well as technology

out-licensing.

Moreover, in a bid to boost R&D in the pharmaceutical sector, the government will provide US$

422.96 million for establishing six National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research

over the next five years. Biotechnology major, Biocon, will be investing US$ 20.11 million in the

next fiscal in enhancing its R&D.

Government Initiative

The Government has taken various policy initiatives for the pharmaceutical sector

• Government has offered tax-breaks to the pharmaceutical sector. Units are eligible for

weighted tax deduction at 150 per cent for the R&D expenditure incurred.

• Steps have been taken to streamline procedures covering development of new drug

molecules, clinical research etc.

• Government has launched two new schemes—New Millennium Indian Technology

Leadership Initiative and the Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Research Programme—especially

targeted at drugs and pharmaceutical research.

In a bid to promote new drug research in the country, the government is mulling creating special

purpose vehicles (SPV) with insurance cover which will be used to fund new drug research. The

Department of Pharmaceuticals is also toying with the idea of creating drug research facilities and

centers that can be used by private companies for such research work on a pay-and-use basis.

• According to Ministry of Commerce, domestic investment in the pharmaceutical sector is

estimated at US$ 6.31 billion.

• The drugs and pharmaceuticals sector has attracted FDI worth US$ 1.43 billion from April

2000 to December 2008.

Road Ahead

The Indian pharmaceutical industry will see tremendous growth in the coming years as consumer

spending on healthcare is increasing in India. Consumer spending on healthcare is expected to

increase from 7 per cent of GDP in 2007 to 13 per cent of GDP by 2015.
