Summary
After a brief period of sluggishness, the growth momentum in the domestic formulations market appears to be back on track
Structural demand drivers including a) rising household income levels, b) increasing prevalence of lifestyle related diseases, c)
improving healthcare infrastructure/delivery systems and 4) rising penetration in smaller towns and rural areas continue to support
long-term growth
However, competitive pressures in the domestic market are likely to sustain as MNCs become aggressive and domestic companies
leverage on their expanded field force; potential regulatory interventions could hurt pricing
A large number of patent expirations continue to offer strong growth prospects for generic players in the developed markets; In the
recent quarters, a peer set of seven leading generic players have reported a fairly strong revenue growth in the US driven by steadily
expanding product portfolio and exclusivities
While patent expires are expected to peak out in 2012, we believe that the growth momentum would sustain as most of Indian
companies have a fairly well spread out product pipeline till 2014. While some companies have a healthy pipeline of FTF opportunities,others are likely to benefit from the launch of niche, limited competition products
The quality of the filings by major Indian companies has also significantly improved over the years with complex molecules, non-orals
(i.e. inhalers, injectables, oral contraceptive, ophthalmic etc.) and Para IV/FTFs forming increasing share of their pipeline
Globally, generics players however continue to face competitive environment with increasingly crowded space for filing ANDAs and
Para IV challenges and aggressive product life cycle management strategies by large innovator companies
Price erosion, especially through regulatory interventions, remains a foremost challenge in the European markets; presence in limited
competition product segments and over-the-counter (OTCs) segment offers some protection to margins. Most developed markets
continue to move away from branded generics to commoditized un-branded generics and lower margin tender based business;
amongst new frontiers Japanese generic market offers large potential, though there are significant challenges
Patent expirations, weak pipeline quality and increasing focus by Governments to reduce healthcare costs continue to exert pressure
on innovator companies which supports outsourcing to low-cost nations
Despite challenges, leading Indian players continue to exhibit strong profitability indicators (excluding one-time instances like
exclusivity-related aberrations or impact of foreign exchange fluctuations) and credit metrics. These strengths are also reflected in
their strong credit profile
Our outlook on the Indian pharmaceutical companies remains favourable as we believe companies will continue to benefit from
recovery in the domestic market, strong growth potential in generics developed markets and potential outsourcing opportunitie s
Overall, investments including capital expenditure are likely to remain buoyant over the medium term. Balance sheets of major
pharmaceutical companies remain strong providing adequate room for fund raising

Structural demand drivers to support growth despite short-term headwinds
After a period of sustained growth, the domestic formulations market began to decelerate since
the beginning of Q3 FY11 largely prompted by intense competition, especially in the acute
segments. The growth rates slipped quite sharply in H1FY12 on back of high base effect of the
previous year and spill over of pricing pressure even to the chronic segments to some extent. The
competitive pressure in the domestic formulations market has been rising steadily for some time
now. While on one hand, this has been prompted by significant increase in investments by
domestic players in marketing efforts through expansion in field force, on the other, MNC have
also renewed their focus on India. Some of the smaller players have also contributed to the
competitive intensity by offering huge discounts/incentives to the distribution network and
doctors. However, while competitive pressures are unlikely to abate, the growth momentum
appears to be back on track with last few months reporting a fairly strong growth across therapy
segments. We believe, that the structural demand drivers would continue to support growth in
the long-run despite short-term headwinds.
The Domestic formulations market, valued at ~Rs. 48,200 crore has grown steadily at CAGR of 14-15% over the past five years. The strong growth has been driven by a confluence of factors
including a) rising household income levels leading to higher expenditure on healthcare, b)
increasing prevalence of lifestyle related diseases, c) improving healthcare infrastructure/delivery
systems and 4) rising penetration in smaller towns and rural areas. As a result, majority of the
growth in the Indian market has been driven by expansion in volumes and new product
introductions as against prices increases.
Despite increasing consolidation, the market continues to remain highly fragmented with top ten
pharmaceutical companies accounting for only ~35-40% of the market. Leading players continue
to maintain their market share owing to their strong distribution reach, strong field force and
slew of product launches.
Lifestyle related disorders to propel faster growth in chronic segments
The acute therapy segments dominate the market with a share of 73% of the total market.
However, with changing demographics and lifestyle patterns, the chronic segments such as
cardiovascular, anti-diabetic, neurology, psychiatry have been growing at a faster pace and the
market is gradually shifting towards chronics. In 2010-11, while the market grew by 15%, chronics
grew by 18%. As per IMS health estimates, the chronic therapies are likely to comprise more than
50% of the market by 2020 with cardiovascular (second largest segment after anti-infective) and
anti-diabetic will take lead while segments like anti-cancer will also add to the momentum.

Increasing investments by MNCs reflect at their renewed interest in the Indian market
The MNC pharma companies which have so far lagged the domestic market growth are now
becoming increasingly aggressive in the Indian market as part of their focus on emerging
markets. In the past, most of MNCs players had maintained a subdued profile in India owing to
limitation on launch of patented products, limited marketing and distribution bandwidth and
relatively small scale offered by the Indian market. However, with the implementation of the
product patent regime and strong growth prospects, the landscape for MNCs pharmaceutical
companies is gradually changing. Series of major acquisitions, steady growth in new product
introductions (especially in the branded segment with steep pricing difference to global prices)
and expansion in field force clearly indicates at their renewed interest in the Indian market.
Apart from acquisitions, which have so far been their preferred route for consolidating position in
India, companies have also been targeting growth opportunities through in-licensing deals with
domestic generic players both for domestic as well other emerging markets. Such alliances
primarily aim at leveraging on the lower R&D cost (i.e. product/market authorizations) and
manufacturing capabilities of the local generic companies on one hand and the extensivemarketing & distribution footprint of MNCs in other markets on the other. With increasing focus
of MNC Pharma on emerging markets and limited growth opportunities in developed markets
owing to large patent expiries and sluggish replacement of patented products, such alliance are
likely to gain prominence given the strong capabilities exhibited by Indian players.
Overall, we believe that competitive pressures are here to stay as a) MNCs become aggressive in
India, b) domestic players leverage on their expanded field force and c) potential regulatory
interventions could hurt pricing. Additionally, with the introduction of product patent regime, the
basket of products available for introduction is also gradually declining. Given this scenario,
companies are countering these challenges by expanding into other therapeutic areas,
developing combination and controlled release products and even looking at in-licensing/co-marketing opportunities with foreign players. We believe, companies with relatively diversified
therapeutic exposure, strong positioning in chronic segments (which are likely to grow faster),
wide spread distribution reach and strong R&D capabilities would continue to exhibit a stable
operating performance albeit industry-wide challenges would continue to remain imperative.

Generics to propel growth in the US market over the medium term
With a market size of US$ 320 billion, the United States remains the largest pharmaceutical
market, globally. Given the sizeable generic substitution (~75% in volume terms), It is also the
largest generics market and considered to be one of the most matured of all the markets. The
price erosion post patent expiration is also amongst the highest in the US, reflecting the extent of
competitive pressures. With ~$100 billion worth patent expiries over the next 5 years, generic
business enjoys strong growth prospects. Besides patent expirations, healthcare reforms
initiated by the US Government, aimed at reducing healthcare spending and covering a larger
proportion of population under public healthcare are also likely to provide impetus to growth in
the generics market.
Indian generics to benefit from the ongoing wave of patent expiries
Riding on back of the generic opportunity, Indian companies have capitalized on the growth
prospects to emerge as formidable players in the US generics markets. Most of the leading
players have significantly expanded their ANDA filings in line with the patent expiration cycle.
The quality of the filings by top Indian companies has also significantly improved over the yearswith complex molecules, non-standard categories (i.e. inhalers, injectables, oral contraceptive,
ophthalmic etc.) and Para IV/FTFs forming increasing share of their pipeline. Given the sheer size,
the US generics market has become a significant contributor to the revenues of most leading
Indian companies and a significant component of their earnings profile. Some of the companies
have also captured significant market share across product segments. For instance, while Lupin
has emerged as the 5th
largest generic company in terms of prescriptions, Dr. Reddys has 25
products among the top three in terms of market share.
In the recent quarters, our peer set of seven leading generic players have reported a fairly strong
revenue growth in the US driven by steadily expanding product portfolio and exclusivities on
certain molecules. While the growth has been strong, it has also been volatile largely due to theimpact of one-time exclusivities for some of the companies and also price erosion in certain
cases. In particular, for Ranbaxy, the trend has been quite volatile due to exclusivity for
Valacylovir(in CY10) and Donepezil(in CY11) which also reflected in lower growth in Q1 FY12 as a
whole for the peer group. In Q2 FY12, growth momentum picked up across almost all companies
(despite no major Para IV/FTFs) and also benefitted from the consolidation of Taro with Sun
Pharma. In the near term, we expect the revenue growth to sustain as exclusivities on Lipitor
(Ranbaxy) and Zyprexa (DRL) play out.

The current wave of patent expirations has also triggered consolidation in the industry as innovator companies look for growth opportunities by diversifying their business profile,
entering into newer therapeutic/product segments or even markets. Apart from M&As, many of the innovator companies are also reconfiguring their R&D operations either by
reducing R&D spending or exiting segments where prospects for NCEs look dismal. Outsourcing or partnering with smaller companies for early stage development is another
trend that is gaining momentum. In the generics space too, consolidation has been a prominent phenomenon. The top four generic players now account for over 60% of the
market compared to ~30-35% a decade ago.
Comparatively, while Indian players have significantly ramped up their product portfolio and made a mark in the US generics space, they remain small in comparison to the
generic majors such as Teva, Mylan and Sandoz. The sheer scale of these entities gives an edge in generics business. While scale is the foremost factor, channel servicing and
product pipeline are equally important, especially in developed markets such as US which are dominated by large distributors/retailers that enjoy tremendous bargaining power.
Strong management focus on legal and R&D skills is also necessary to ensure emphasis on product development of FTF/exclusive products also add to business strengths. In
recent periods regulatory compliance for developed markets has also been a cause of concern for a number of companies. While most Indian manufacturers have been able to
resolve 483s/regulatory concerns flagged by international regulatory agencies, our discussion with industry indicates that there is likely to be some increase in compliance cost
over the near term to meet tightening quality norms in these markets.
Unlike the U.S, the European generics market is quite diverse. Regulations, reimbursement policies
(and consequently prices), competitive landscape and generic penetration varies across markets.
While some of the European markets, such as the U.K, Germany and Netherland are characterized
by relatively high generic penetration (~50%+), other key markets like France, Italy and Spain have
low generic usage at around 25%. Apart from generic penetration, the reimbursement policies
and consequently pricing also differ across markets. While in some markets, reimbursements are
based on reference pricing mechanism, in other markets, generics are priced to a discount to the
innovators brand. For instance, in the U.K, the pricing is set by a scheme based on the pharmacy
purchase profit.
In Europe, most Governments have implemented austerity measures aimed at reducing healthcare
spending as they seek to repair their fiscal benefits. Some of markets have shifted away from
branded generics to unbranded generics or tender market; in the process, the pricing power of
generics companies is getting rapidly eroded. In addition, the rising bargaining power of large
distributors, retailers and insurance companies are potential dampener to pricing power of generic
companies.

At the same time government legislation and insurance companies are increasingly incentivizing
pharmacists and patients to substitute branded medicine with cheaper generic alternatives,
which remains a key growth driver. Overall in volume terms, in comparison to North America
(generic penetration in volume terms ~75-80%) generic penetration in Europe is generally lower,
with significant potential in growth in a number of countries.
In Germany, after the series of healthcare reforms, the market has transformed into tender-
driven model from a branded generics market. Healthcare funds are increasingly playing an
important role in determining the products being sold in the market, following the reforms
implemented in 2009. It is estimated that nearly one-fourth of the German generics market has
migrated to a tender-driven one, resulting in significant pricing pressure. Price cuts (in generics)
have been common across nations ranging between 5-25% depending on product segments and
markets. All these measures are expected to support the growth in generics driven by increasing
substitution levels and patent expirations.
In comparison to the US generics, the dependence of top Indian companies in the Europe as awhole has been relatively lower. Among leading players, Wockhardt has the highest exposure to
Europe with over 37% contribution to revenues. Among the other players, Dr. Reddys (owing to
its acquisition of Betapharm in Germany), Ranbaxy, Cipla and Intas Pharma have considerable
presence in the European markets. Although most of the players have presence across nations,
many of them have established prominent position in certain key markets through steady
expansion in product portfolio and supply relationship with the distribution channels. Most of
the companies also acquired local companies during the initial phase with the intent of gaining
front-end marketing capabilities (i.e. market authorizations, distribution relationships) and even
manufacturing in certain cases.
The performance of Indian players in the European markets has been relatively lackluster largely
emanating from unanticipated changes in market structure and pricing pressures. Nonetheless,
the European markets remain an important part of Indian companies long -term growth
strategy. Companies have been ramping up their presence across markets by steadily enhancing
product portfolio, investing in developing marketing and distribution strengths.

Emerging Markets in centre of attraction; Indian companies prefering tie-ups
The emerging markets represent the fastest growing segment of the Global pharmaceutical industry. As per industry estimates, the total spending on healthcare in these markets
is likely to grow from US$151 billion to $285-315 billion by 2015 with most markets expected to grow at double digit. Apart from the developed markets, the Indian Pharma
companies have also been eyeing growth opportunities in some of the other fast-growing emerging markets. Among them, in Russia, South Africa and some of the countries in
Latin America (Brazil, Mexico) and South-East Asia, Indian companies have strengthened considerable presence. These emerging markets with some of them being branded
generics offer strong growth prospects for Indian players given the high out of pocket expenditure on healthcare in these markets (unlike developed markets) and relatively
easier regulatory pathways. During the initial phase, most of the Indian players preferred acquisitions/in-organic investments to enter into these markets are now enhancing
their presence through ramp up in product portfolio and therapy segments. In addition to direct presence, Indian companies have also been partnering with MNCs in emerging
markets. Such alliances benefit from the R&D and manufacturing capabilities of the Indian partners and the extensive marketing & distribution footprint of the MNCs in those
markets. For instance, GSK has a tie-up with Dr. Reddys whereas Pfizer has tied-up with a number of Indian companies to launch a range of branded generics in emerging
markets (besides generics in US)
Exhibit 14: Snapshot of key of emerging markets
Markets Growth Prospects Challenges Positioning of Indian Players

Evolving generics opportunity in Japan + biosimilars also offers long-strong growth prospects but with challenges across the value chain
Japanese market offers new growth avenue for Indian generic players
Amongst the key markets outside the United States and Europe, the Japanese market offers potential to drive significant growth in the medium term. With healthcare reforms
aimed to reduce healthcare budgets and generic friendly policies being adopted by the Japanese Government, the pharmaceutical market is gradually opening up to generics.
The current generic penetration in Japan, estimated at ~23%, is low and the Government has targeted ~30% penetration by 2012. As a result, despite being the second largest
pharmaceutical market in the world, the Japanese market ranks only as the sixth largest generic market. Apart from the wide ranging governments pro -generic reforms, major
patent expiries in 2012 are also l ikely to propel generic penetration in Japan.
The Japanese generic market however is a challenging one on many fronts e.g., the reimbursement structure (as margins for pharmacies are linked to reimbursement prices,
higher generic substitution would therefore mean lower margins for pharmacies), consumer mindset (strong preference towards brands, as a result, generic penetration is likely
to be gradual) and absence of exclusivity mechanism (unlike US, in Japan, the regulatory mechanism does not provide an exclusivity period for generic FTF applicants, leaving
little incentive for generic players to adopt that route). The approval process for generics is also quite stringent and time consuming. Given the market specific challenges,
majority of the generics sold in Japan are manufactured by local players. Thus, local experience through joint venture or partnerships is critical for success in product selection,
manufacturing and distribution. Among Indian companies, Lupin, Ranbaxy, Torrent Pharma and Cadila Healthcare are among the front runners in this market. While Ranbaxy (by
virtue of its Japanese parent, Daiichi Sankyo) is exploring a hybrid model for the Japanese market, Lupin has recently strengthened its presence by acquiring another company
(Irom Pharmaceuticals) in the injectables segment.
Biosimilars offers strong long-term potential
In addition to the impending patent expiries, globally, the generic companies are also eyeing generics in the biologics space as a long-term growth avenue. Biologics are basically
used to substitute disease induced deficiencies of endogenous factors such as erythropoietin or GCSF and are also used to treat diseases such as cancer, arthritis and certain rare
genetic disorders. As per the industry estimates, the biopharmaceuticals market touched nearly US$ 100 billion in 2010 and it is estimated that almost 85% of the existing
biologics would face generic competition over the next ten years. The global biosimilars market is expected to grow from US$ 243 million in 2010 to US$ 3.7 billion by 2015. The
rapid growth in biosimilars is expected to be driven by patent expiries for more than 30 biologic medicines, with sales of $51 billion in the next five years.
but with challenges across the development cycle and approval pathway
However, there are certain challenges in developing biosimilars in comparison to generics for small molecules. Unlike chemical (non -biological) compounds, which are
produced synthetically, biopharmaceutical production involves the use of living organisms and due to their heavy molecular weight, complex molecular structure and extremely
intricate manufacturing process, biologics are difficult to replicate. As a result, it is difficult to compare and determine equivalence of biosimilars, which impedes the regulatorypathway for their approval. Additionally, due to higher regulatory barriers, the R&D investments for developing such products remain significant and so does the capex in
manufacturing facilities after commercialization. Even within biosimilars, products can have varying efficacy profiles, resulting in differentiated products among companies. As a
result of this peculiarity, companies need to market the biosimilars products through dedicated field force. Thus, marketing efforts are also critical in case of biosimilars.
Among markets, the European regulatory agency (EMEA) has announced the guidelines for approval for biosimilars and has already approved a number of biosimilars.
Comparatively, in the US, the market for biosimilars remains limited as of now as the FDA is still in the process of developing the regulatory pathway for biosimilars. The market
is dominated by sales of Erythropoietin, Filgrastim and growth hormones. The key generic players marketing biosimilars are Sandoz, Teva, Hospira and Stada besides others.
Some of the Indian companies have also started launching biosimilars in emerging markets including in India. Dr. Reddys, Bio con and Lupin have so far been at the forefront as
far as investments and R&D pipeline is concerned. In our view, given the complexities and high costs involved, Indian players will need to collaborate with technical partners to
aid in the development cycle as well as the marketing stage. Such partnerships are already visible in this segment. While Teva runs a JV with Lonza (provides technical inputs in
biologics APIs), Biocon has entered into various co-development alliances with global pharmaceutical majors and research companies with presence in monoclonal anti-bodiesand insulin.

M&A: Acquisitions are giving way to partnerships with focus on specific markets or therapy segments
In the past, acquisitions have played a vital role for Indian companies in establishing their presence in international markets. Most of the acquisitions have either been in the
generic segment or in the contract research & manufacturing segment. Only a handful of acquisitions have been in the $200 million plus range, with a majority being small-sized
acquisitions in value terms. Investments in generic space have been aimed at gaining presence in newer markets, access to technologies or even acquiring marketing and
distribution front-end. In the CRAMS space, access to new clients and technologies has been key rationale for acquisitions. The initial phase of investments was largely in
regulated markets (European Union and North America) however, with higher growth prospects in emerging markets, the focus has also widened to semi-regulated markets in
Africa, Latin America, and South-East Asia. These markets offer potential for profitable growth with relatively easier regulatory pathways. Except for certain transactions, most of
the acquisitions have been relatively small sized.
In the recent period, the pace at which Indian companies have acquired international assets have slowed down considerably as preference towards forming JVs/alliances with
focus on specific markets or therapy segments is gaining importance. The performance of past acquisitions has generally been mixed. Unanticipated changes in market dynamics,
inability to move sourcing to low-cost locations and contract cancellation have been some of the factors adversely affecting performance. The transformation of the German
pharmaceutical market from being a branded generic to a tender drive one for instance eroded value for some acquisitions and continues to remain a difficult investment to
manage. Certain companies have also faced challenges in securing new contracts, particularly in the CRAMS space. As a result, companies have become more prudent in their
investment decisions than earlier. Among key acquisitions in the recent period, Dr. Reddys acquired GSKs penicillin manufac turing facility in U.S., allowing it to enter the U.S.
penicillin-containing anti-bacterial market with brands such asAugmentinandAmoxil. More recently, Cadila Healthcare acquired Biochem to strengthen its presence in the anti-
biotic segment in the Indian market. During the year, Lupin also continued with its strategy to augment its presence in the Japanese market; having acquired IromPharmaceuticals in November 2011.

With patent expirations at its peak and weak pipeline quality, there is a continuous pressure on innovator companies to explore other avenues including generic business
especially in emerging markets. Globally, many of the large innovator companies already have their generic arms which are aggressively pursuing opportunities across markets. In
recent period, most of the innovator companies have entered into alliances with generic companies from India. In most cases, these alliances are designed to leverage on the
R&D and low-cost manufacturing capabilities of Indian partners and marketing and distribution capabilities of the MNCs. There is also an increasing trend among MNCs in
partnering in the domestic market where marketing and distribution footprint of Indian companies and product portfolio of MNCs is being leveraged upon.

Conclusion
Our outlook on the Indian Pharmaceutical Industry remains favourable, reflecting our view that earnings growth will continue, benefitting from healthy growth in the domestic
formulations business and steady growth expected in the U.S/Europe generics space on back of patent expiries. In the U.S, companies with a robust and selective product
pipeline, presence in niche/complex segments and diversified therapies would continue to exhibit a relatively strong earnings profile. There would also be significant one-time
upsides for companies, stemming largely from Para IV/FTF opportunities in US. In the European markets, while companies may face pressure on profitability, volume growth
would continue as healthcare reforms initiated by Governments would push growth in generics. Emerging markets, with growing spend on healthcare and strong branded
generic market offers profitable growth opportunities for generic business. Besides emerging markets, the gradually evolving generics opportunity in Japan, the second-largest
market in the world (after United States) also offers generic players the opportunity to pursue long-term investments. On the CRAMS front, Indian players are focusing on
providing services across the value chain spanning from development stage to commercial scale production. Relatively lower exposure to small biotech companies has been a risk
mitigant during the downturn for these entities. With several drugs going off-patent and big pharma increasing exposure to cost efficient sourcing locations, opportunities
remain favourable for CRAMS players to provide developmental services and subsequently graduate to commercial scale production.
Key challenges facing the industry are potential implementation of the new pricing policy in India, increasing competitive pressure in the chronic segments, aggressive approach
such as authorized generics by innovators in the US and healthcare reforms in European markets are some of the factors that could impede profitability for pharma companies.
ICRA currently has ~80 entities with long-term ratings (excluding SO ratings) in the pharmaceutical sector. About 10% of these entities are rated in the AA category - these
entities have strong and profitable domestic branded formulations business, which has been a stable source of cash flows over the years. Around 41% of the entities are rated in
the non-investment graded. Most of these entities are relatively small entities, often in API business and suffer from high product or client concentration.

Sequential recovery in business; resolution on US FDA issues holds key for further improvement
Revenue GrowthAPL performance in Q3 FY12 improved on a sequential
basis as reflected by a 19.5% growth in operating income on QoQ basis and a
healthy 420 bps improvement in operating margins. The growth on
sequential basis was primarily driven by scale up in companys formulations
(ex-US) and ARVs business. Some of the issues that impacted the business
during the last quarter namely logistics (due to Telengana agitation) and
persistent power cuts also were resolved to a large extent thereby leading to
some recovery in the business. On a YoY basis, the companys formulations
business (56% of turnover) witnessed a growth of 14.7% driven largely by
European and RoW markets even as US business remained flat. Growth was
primarily led by entry into newer markets in Europe and product launches in
emerging markets especially GCCs. In the US, the FDA overhang continued to
the impact business which coupled with slowdown in orders from Pfizer led
to flattish sales during the quarter. In comparison to formulations, the
companys API business posted a slightly higher growth of 20.3% on back of
strong growth in the non-anti-biotic API segments.
ProfitabilityThe companys OPBDIT margins at 14.9% dropped sharply on
YoY basis but improved on sequential basis. Some of the reasons that have
impacted APLs profitability during the year include (i) adverse product mix
(ii) lower licensing income, (iii) overheads on account related to
manufacturing units that are under import alert and (iv) and increase in
employee expenses etc. These factors along with a large MTM loss on forex
liabilities resulted in a loss of Rs. 31 crore in Q3 FY12 at PBT level. While APIs
performance has been impacted during the current year on various front, the
management however remains confident of a recovery led by launch ofcertain high value products (under Pfizer deal), ramp-up in injectables
portfolio and OTCs in the US over the medium term. Any positive
announcement on US FDA issues and ramp-up in supply contracts (with Pfizer
& AZ) could remain key developments to watch out for in the near term.

Aurobindo Pharma Limited (APL) is a leading formulations and API player with presence across
developed and emerging markets. Over the last five years, it has transformed its business model
from being a pure API player to a company with diversified product mix (increasing share of
formulations) and geographic mix (higher proportion of sales from developed markets). In FY11,
formulations accounted for 54% of companys turnover (up from 39% in FY08), while the share oflow-margin APIs have declined to 40% (from 61% in FY08). Driven by aggressive product filings
across markets, APL has also been able to generate a sizeable income through out-licensing of
dossiers. It has managed to rapidly grow its business in the US generics space through a
confluence of aggressive product filings, large manufacturing capabilities and a supply contract
with Pfizer. APL is one of the leading ANDA filers from India (209 as on FY11) and among the
largest suppliers for ARVs drugs to the WHO.
Scale-up in US generics space has transformed APLs business profile: Despite being a late entrant, APL has been able to register an impressive scale up in the US generics
space through aggressive product filings (up from 82 in FY07 to 209 in FY11), contract manufacturing tie-ups with Pfizer (extensive tie-up, covers over 100 products) and
large manufacturing capabilities. With considerable experience in APIs, the company has also maintained a competitive edge through backward integrated operationsbesides establishing relationship with leading distribution companies in the US. While we expect, the US business to remain the key growth driver for the company,
benefitting from the impending patent expiries in the US and strong product line-up, the recent import alert and a warning letter for two of its manufacturing units have
obstructed the scale-up to an extent.
Inorganic investments + supply contracts to drive growth in EU: At present, APL generates about 6-7% of its turnover from EU markets. In line with other generic players,
APL has also forayed into these markets through acquisitions. It has so far acquired companies in the UK, Netherlands and Italy. All the acquisitions have been with the
intent to get ready access in these markets through a portfolio of market authorizations and distribution network. As on March 2011, the company had filed around xx
product dossiers and received xx approvals. In addition, the companys tie-up with Pfizer also covers the EU markets in an extensive way, which coupled with companys
large product filings and strategy to enter into new markets is likely to help the company scale up business in Europe.
Emerging markets also hold strong growth potential:Similar to the US and EU markets, ROW markets are emerging as promising growth driver for the company driven byaggressive product filings (across product segments and markets), supply tie-ups with Pfizer and Astra Zeneca (focuses primarily on emerging markets) and relatively better
product positioning (higher share of branded generics). Till FY11, the company has filed over xx market authorizations across markets with focus on South Africa, Brazil and
Australia and Canada in particular.
One of the leading players in APIs and ARV Drugs: Besides formulations (54% of revenues), APL also generates a considerable share of its turnover from API. It is one of the
leading players in APIs with strong presence in some of the mature Pen-G based anti-biotic such as Cephalosporin and Semi-Synthetic Penicillin (SSPs). However, with
increasing focus on formulations and focus on only high-end anti-biotic, the share of revenues from APIs is likely to come down further going forward. Moreover, the recent
move to reduce stake in an intermediates facility (in China) reflects its gradual shift away from APIs. APL also has significant presence in the Anti-Retroviral (ARV) drugs
through participation in various tender programmes of international procuring agencies. Over the last four years (i.e. FY08-11), the ARV business has grown at a CAGR of
20% driven by steadily increasing demand and companys increasing participation (through tenders). However, with PEPFAR budgets being flat for almost last four years, the
share of revenues from ARV business is likely to come down, considering the expectation of higher growth in the other segments.

Acquisitions drive growth however margins decline on consolidation of lower-profitability businesses
Revenue GrowthCadilas Q3 FY12 net sales at Rs. 1,352.5 crore grew by
19.2% on YoY basis driven by acquisitions and strong growth in the domestic
formulations business (up 17.7%). Adjusted for acquisition (Nesher, Bremer
& Biochem), sales growth would have been lower at 13.6%. Among markets,
Cadilas reported a growth of 45.1% in the US, however after adjusting for
the impact of Nesher, it stood at 27.1%. In constant currency terms, growth
rates were much lower largely due to lack of product introductions. Cadilas
didnt receive US FDA approvals during the quarter being impacted by the
warning letter at its Ahmedabad facility. Growth rates were also sluggish in
other key market Europe (up 1% YoY), Brazil (4.9%) and other emerging
markets (up 2.8%). The companys wellness business also had a challenging
quarter with 12.0% drop in revenues primarily coming in from steep
competition in the skin care segment. The management indicated that
competition from some of the MNCs and domestic have increased in the
recent period and renewed marketing efforts should help in reviving thedemand going forward.
Profitability Despite rupee depreciation, Cadilas operating margins at
18.9% in Q3 FY12 came under pressure on both YoY as well as QoQ basis
largely due to the consolidation of some of the lower margin business, drop
in highly profitable wellness business and impact of certain one-offs. The
company also reported a forex loss of Rs.34.2 crore which pulled down the
net profit to Rs. 149.2 crore, a drop of 7.9% on YoY basis. In the near term,
growth prospects remain weak due to under performance in the US and
European markets. While warning letter related issues continue to impede
growth in the US, challenging environment in Europe is likely to derailgrowth momentum to an extent. The management however reiterated that
the worst is behind in terms of operating profitability and going forward
improvement would be driven by inherent synergies between Cadilas
domestic formulations business with recently acquired Biochem.

Key Highlights from Q3 FY12 Conference Call
Cadilas domestic formulation business grew by 17.7% during Q3 FY12 driven by steady growth across key therapy segments and the impact of Biochems acquisition.
Adjusted for the acquisition, growth would have been around 15%; during the quarter, the company launched 15 new products in India, of which seven were launched
for the first time; management indicated that growth will continue to be around 15-16% in the near term
The rationale behind Biochems acquisition was to strengthen companys presence in the acute segments as Cadilas major presence has been in the fast -growing
chronic segments; the acquisition augments Cadilas field force by 950 MRs, adds a manufacturing facility and would boost revenues by Rs.260 crore annually Without disclosing the details, management indicated that while the margins are lower in Biochem, expected synergies between the two entities would drive
improvement through cost savings
Growth in the US business ex. Nesher was 27% and much lower in constant currency terms due to lack of new product introductions; US FDA inspection in relation to
the warning letter is expected in the next month and should result in favourable resolution soon; management guided for the launch of six extended release products
from Neshers portfolio of eight over the next 2-3 years
It was a challenging quarter for wellness owing to steep competition from MNCs and other domestic FMCG players in the skincare segment; management has renewed
its marketing efforts to growth the brand franchise; product extensions in Sugarfreeand Nutraliteare also being planned
During the quarter, the company adopted AS-30 to account for foreign exchange fluctuation; as a result, out of the total loss of Rs. 65.0 crore on forex, Rs. 34.2 crore
was routed through the P&L (clubbed under other expenditure and interest expenses) while balance was accounting in the hedge reserves
Business Overview
Cadila Healthcare (Cadila) is one of the top-five leading formulations company in India with strong focus on the fast-growing chronic therapy segments. Apart from domestic
formulations, Cadila Healthcare has established itself as an emerging generics player in some of key markets like the United States, the EU and Latin American countries. Clutch
of well-thought acquisitions, steady product introductions and therapy expansion, and maintaining service levels have been key factors that have helped the company become
strong player in the generic space. Over the years, the company has also entered into certain strategic JVs and alliances having clear focus on leveraging either its manufacturing
capabilities or partnering to gain technical expertise in certain product/therapy segments.
With a contribution of 36% to revenues, domestic formulation is the largest segment for the company followed by United States, Emerging markets and Europe. In India, Cadila
has approximately 3.7-4.0% market share with strong position in the CVS, Gastrointestinal, Gynaecology and Anti-Respiratory segments. In addition to scale-up in base business,
the company has entered into a JV with Bayer for co-marketing products in India and more recently acquired Biochem to strengthen its acute segment portfolio. In the US,
Cadilas initial foray and ramp-up was largely driven by highly commoditized oral solids which the company is now augmenting with limited competition segments such astransdermals, injectables etc. The recent acquisition of Nesher Pharma has helped the company gain presence in the controlled release substance portfolio. Among other
markets, Cadila has created considerable presence in the Brazilian market and is also increasing its focus on the Japanese generics segment. Additionally, the company has also
established certain JVs/alliances with leading players with a specific strategic intent either leveraging on the capabil ities in certain therapy areas or markets:
Tie-Ups Area Comments

Product and market rationalizations efforts impede exports growth; focus clearly shifting on profitable segments
Revenue GrowthCiplas Q3 FY12 revenues at Rs. 1,758.0 crore grew by
12.9% on YoY basis driven by strong growth in the domestic formulations
business (up 18.4% YoY) and relatively muted performance in exports
which grew by a modest 10.7% during the quarter. The healthy growth in
domestic business was aided by a strong 36% growth in the generic
business and 14-15% growth in the branded business benefiting from
strong revenues in the anti-asthma segment. In the exports segment,
Ciplas revenues at Rs. 865.8 crore grew by only 10.7% (as declined
sequentially) as the company continued with its product and market
rationalization measures resulting increasing focus on higher profitable
products/segments. Overall, the management remains confident of
achieving higher than industry growth of 15-16% in the domestic business
driven by steady product introductions and strong field force even as
exports growth is likely to remain in 10% level on YoY basis
ProfitabilityOn the profitability front, Ciplas OPBDIT margins at 22.3%
during the quarter improved by almost 200 bps on YoY basis primarily
aided by improvement in gross margin as a result of product and market
rationalizations efforts being pursued by the company. While Ciplas gross
margins improved by almost 400 bps during the quarter, due to annual
increments and increased manpower count, the favourable impact on
OPBDIT was partially negative by higher employee expenses. The growth
in net profit at 16.0% was however marginally lower than the rise in
operating profit due to higher tax rate which increased during the quarter
following expiry of tax benefits at EOUs.
Cipla incurred a capex of Rs. 130 crore during the quarter with full year
guidance maintained at Rs. 500-600 crore; impact of forex was marginal at
Rs. 4.5 crore (booked in other income).

Growth driven by Marketable Molecules segment; CRAMS expected to revive with impending commercial supplies
Revenue GrowthDishmans operating income grew by 11.9% on a YoY
basis in Q3 FY12 to Rs. 266.2 crore, facilitated by a favourable currency
movement. While the Marketable Molecule business reported a YoY
growth of 30.9%, the CRAMS business has reported a YoY growth of 6.9%
contributed by 28.7% growth in Carbogen Amcis, while Indian CRAMS
business has reported a de-growth. However, facilitated by several new
contracts, which include supply of an oncology drug to Astellas for an order
value of Euro 18 million per annum starting from January 2013; sale of 150
tonnes of Eprosartan Mesylate to Abbott Laboratories in FY13 (followed by
sales of 200 tonnes each in FY14 and FY15); commercial supplies of an anti-
tuberculosis drug to Johnson & Johnson with expected sales of Euro 5-6
million in FY13; US$ 6 million contract from Novartis; etc., Dishman
management is hopeful of achieving 20% growth in FY13.
ProfitabilityNon-recurring research income and higher contribution fromsale of high margin Benzethonium drug have resulted in a 987 bps
improvement in OPBDITA margin to 23.1% in Q3 FY12. This also includes a
forex gain of Rs. 8.1 crore (Rs. 5.7 crore forex gain in Q3 FY11) on account
of reversals. With commencement of Vitamin D3 supplies which is in short
supply worldwide, OPBDITA margins are expected to further witness an
improvement.
Developments All three units at Bavla plant Vitamin D3 (Unit 13),
Oncology (Unit 9) and Disinfectant (Unit 10)have commenced production
in Q3 FY12, and expected to start contributing significantly from FY13
onwards. On account of the increase in operating costs in Shanghai due towhich China has no longer remained a core business area for the company,
Dishman is in the process of selling its China factory.

Revenue momentum continues; to be further boosted by the commissioning of the new facility
Revenue GrowthDivis operating income grew by 32.5% on a YoY basis
in Q3 FY12 to Rs. 417.4 crore driven by higher volumes for major generic
APIs such as Naproxen, Dextromethorphan, Levetiracetam, Nabumetone
and Carbidopa/ Levodopastrong. While favourable currency movement
accounted for 13% of the overall growth, the company witnessed a QoQde-growth in the sales of Carotenoids to Rs. 20 crore from Rs. 23 crore in
Q2 FY12. The capacity utilization at the DSN SEZ facility in Vizag has
remained flat QoQ and is expected to scale up from Q1 FY13 onwards.
Thus, the management has lowered its sales growth guidance for FY12
to 20% from 25% earlier.
ProfitabilityDiviss OPBDITA margin at 36.2% for Q3 FY12 reported a
YoY decline of 300 bps despite the Rupee depreciation on the back of
increased fuel and staff cost as also higher overheads due to the
commissioning of the DSN SEZ unit at Vizag. The favourable currency
movement resulted in a forex gain of ~Rs. 16.0 crore for the quarter,
which was however off-set by the higher effective tax rate, moderating
the YoY growth in PAT to 21% (Rs. 122.6 crore). Divis effective tax rate
has risen to 23.6% in Q3 FY12 (against 12.8% in Q3 FY11) mainly due to
the end of the tax holiday on its 100% EOU at Choutuppal and its existing
SEZ at Visakhapatnam being eligible only for 50% tax exemption.
However, the new DSN SEZ Unit is eligible for exemption of 100% of
export profits for five years from April 2011 as it has commenced
operations in Q1 FY12, which will again reduce the effective tax rate for
the company once production ramps up from the facility.

DIVIS LABORATORIES LIMITED: Business Overview(Page 2 of 2)
Key Highlights from Q3 FY12 Conference Call
During the quarter, the business mix between large volume APIs and custom synthesis has remained largely the same at 50:50
Strong revenue growth during the quarter was supported by higher volumes for major generic APIs such as Naproxen, Dextromethorphan, and Levodopa, etc. However,
the Carotenoids business witnessed QoQ de-growth on the back of slower than expected off-take.
Despite the Rupee depreciation, this quarter saw the EBDITA margins contracting by 300bps YoY on the back of higher other expenses and high base of Q3 FY11.
The new DSN SEZ, which qualifies for 100% tax exemption, is currently ramping up production; and during the quarter, two more production blocks were commissionedat the site. The USFDA inspection for this plant is likely to be in mid FY13.
In this quarter, Divis effective tax rate has risen to ~24% (against ~13% in Q3 FY11), mainly due to the end of the tax holiday on its 100% EOU at Choutuppal and its
Vishakhapatnam SEZ being eligible only for 50% tax exemption.
Company Profile
Divis is engaged in the manufacturing of generic APIs, custom synthesis of active ingredients for innovator companies and other specialty chemicals like peptides and
nutraceuticals. The company operates predominantly in the export markets with over 75% of sales to the regulated markets in Europe and USA. As at the end of FY11, Divi s
has a total of 41 DMFs filed with USFDA and CoS with EDQM for 12 products. It has also filed several dossiers for 28 products with other countries. The company has so far
filed 18 patents in India and 12 patents in the USA for generic products. During FY11, Divis has added 21 products to its product portfolio of which 8 are generic APIs and
intermediates and 13 are custom synthesis APIs and intermediates.
Generic APIs: Divis concentrates on a few niche APIs, which normally fetch better margins and where competition is low. The key generic APIs of the company are Naproxen
(anti-inflammatory), Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide (anti-cough), Levodopa (CNS) and Phenylephrine (anti-cough). The company enjoys more than 70% market share
across the globe in APIs like Naproxen and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Divi s is one of the worlds leading suppliers of Naproxen which is used in the treatment of
arthritis, spondylitis and other inflammatory conditions. Around 20% of Divis total revenues in FY11 were contributed by Naproxen. Besides Naproxen, the company has also
received approvals from USFDA and EDQM for Naproxen Sodium and its intermediate (DL Naproxen). Recently, Divi s has started focusing on nutraceuticals, future generics
and specialty chemicals like Carotenoids. In FY11, around 5% of Divis total revenues (~Rs. 62 crore) came from Carotenoids. Carotenoids are coloring agents which are
extracted from plants and other natural sources. They are an important source of vitamin, which acts as a preventive agent against cancer and heart diseases. D ivis has
developed various types of Carotenoids like Astaxanthin, Beta carotene, Canathaxanthin, Apocarotenal, Lutein, Lycopene and Vitamin D3 which are widely used in the Food &
Beverage industry.
Custom Synthesis APIs: Custom synthesis involves development of a non-infringing process and supply of API and intermediates to innovator pharma companies for
supporting their drug discovery process. Due to its strong R&D capabilities and proven track record, Divis is one of the leading custom synthesis players in India with a large
number of leading MNC pharma companies as its clients. In custom synthesis, Divisfollows a service-based fee model and has a presence across all stages of pre-clinical and
clinical trials. Divis owns four R&D centres, two pilot plants, and three large scale manufacturing facilities, with approval from various regulatory bodies. Having an India
centric asset base and strong-flexible infrastructure capabilities allows Divis to be a low-cost manufacturer.

Long Term [ICRA]AA+
Short Term [ICRA]A1+
Outlook Stable
U.S. continues to be the growth driver; exclusivity on Olanzapine supports margin expansion and jump in profits
Revenue GrowthDRLs Q3 FY12 revenues at Rs. 2,769.2 crore grew by a
strong 46% on YoY largely led by strong growth in the US market which
benefited from the exclusivity on Olanzapine and steady growth in the
some of the recently launched products and anti-infective portfolio. DRL
has been able to garner around 50% market share in Olanzapine with 40-45% price erosion. Among other key markets, DRL reported a growth of
11% in India formulations, though lower than the industry average but
reflected an improving trend on QoQ basis. The growth in European
markets (at 14%) largely benefitted from rupee depreciation as growth in
constant currency terms was flat at 2% YoY. In DRLs other key market
Russia, revenue growth (in constant currency terms) was flat at inventory
correction measures and delayed onset of winter impacted orders. Going
forward, with series of limited competition launches in the US market,
growth momentum is expected supported by pick-up in India business
Profitability DRLs OPBDIT margins at 33.3% in Q3 FY12 benefitted
substantially from the launch of highly profitable Olanzapine which
contributed nearly $99 million in sales (out of the $235 million in the US).
Excluding the impact of Olanzapine, companys adjusted gross margins
were flat on QoQ basis. Despite higher tax provisioning (largely due to
higher tax outgo on Olanzapine), net profit rose by 88% to Rs. 513 crore
during the quarter. DRL reported forex gains of Rs. 28.5 million in Q3 on
restatement of receivables. MTM losses in the balance sheet stood at $85
million as on December 2011 but came down to $30 million by January-
end following rupee appreciation.
During the quarter, the company filed 3 ANDAs taking the pending
approvals to 79 including 40 on Para IV and 10 FTFs
