COVID-19 Update

In the current challenging times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are undertaking reasonable precautions to ensure the health and safety of our employees, including adhering to the social distancing norms, sanitization of our premises, usage of masks, gloves and other protective wears.

Our operations have continued without much impact. We continued our engagement with doctors through digital channels, ensured regular supplies of our products to meet with the market demand and continued our R&D activities including few projects pertaining to COVID-19.

While the sales volume was impacted in some of our markets due to lower prescriptions generated and fall in patient footfalls in pharmacies / clinics due to Covid-19, the pricing environment was relatively stable, new products launches continued and depreciation of rupee against the US dollar and Euro supported the business.

Revenue Analysis

Global Generics (GG)

Revenues from GG segment at Rs. 35.1 billion:

• Year-on-year growth of 6% driven primarily by Europe and Emerging Markets. This was offset partially by decline in India. The overall growth was on account of volume traction in the base business, new product launches and aided by favorable forex rates, though offset partially due to price erosion.
• Sequential quarter decline of 4%, which is attributable to lower volumes across markets.

North America

Revenues from North America at Rs. 17.3 billion:

• Year-on-year growth of 6%, driven by contribution from new products launched and aided by a favorable forex rate, which was partially offset by price erosion.
• Sequential decline of 4%, on account of lower sales of certain key molecules.
• We launched six new products (Fenofibrate Tablets, Nitroglycerin Patch, Amphetamine Sulfate Tablets, Desmopressin Acetate Ampules, Colchicine Tablets and Abiraterone Acetate Tablets)
• We filed five new ANDAs during the quarter. As of 30^th June 2020, cumulatively 101 generic filings are pending for approval with the USFDA (99 ANDAs and 2 NDAs under 505(b)(2) route). Of the 99 ANDAs, 54 are Para IVs and we believe 28 have ‘First to File’ status.

Emerging Markets

Revenues from Emerging Markets at Rs. 8.0 billion. Year-on-year growth of 9%. Sequential decline of 1%:

• Revenues from Russia at Rs. 3.3billion. Year-on-year decline of 17% and sequential decline of 16%. Decline primarily on account of lower volumes due to lower prescriptions generated and fall in patient footfalls in pharmacies / clinics due to Covid-19.
• Revenues from other CIS countries and Romania market at Rs. 1.4 billion. Year-on-year growth of 15% driven by higher volumes and new product launches. Sequential decline of 22% on account of lower volumes.
• Revenues from Rest of World (RoW) territories at Rs. 3.3billion. Year-on-year growth of 56% & sequential growth of 41%, primarily driven by new products and volume traction in base business. The growth was offset partially due to price erosion in some molecules.

India

Revenues from India at Rs. 6.3 billion:

• Year-on-year decline of 10% and sequential decline of 8%. The decline was on account of lower sales volume due to lower prescriptions generated and fall in patient footfalls in pharmacies / clinics due to Covid-19.
• We launched four new brands during the period.
• We completed the acquisition of select business from Wockhardt including the manufacturing plant located in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh in the quarter.

Europe

Revenues from Europe at Rs. 3.6 billion:

• Year-on-year growth of 48%, on account of new product launches and volume traction across markets.
• Sequential growth of 3%, aided by contribution by new products launched and favorable forex, offset partially by lower volumes.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)

Revenues from PSAI at Rs. 8.6 billion:

• Year-on-year growth of 88% and sequential growth of 19% on account of higher volumes of certain products, increase in new product sales and favorable forex.
• During the quarter we filed DMF for one product in the US.

Proprietary Products (PP)

Revenues from PP at Rs. 56 million:

• Year-on-year decline of 80% due to absence of the Neurology franchise products (the US and select territory rights of which were sold in the previous year).

Income Statement Highlights:

• Gross profit margin at 56.0%:

– Increased by ~430 bps over previous year and by ~450 bps sequentially, primarily on account of a favorable product mix and forex benefit.

– Gross profit margin for GG and PSAI business segments are at 61.4% and 33.4% respectively.

• SG&A expenses at Rs. 12.8 billion, increased by 6% on a year-on-year basis and by 5% sequentially. The increase was primarily attributable to higher freight cost due to shortage of carriers for shipping the goods from India to other countries due to COVID-19 related disruptions.
• R&D expenses at Rs. 4.0 billion. As % to revenues- Q1 FY21: 9.0% | Q4 FY 20: 9.5% | Q1 FY20: 9.4%. Our focus continues on building complex generics, bio-similars and differentiated products pipeline. We are also undertaking development of a few projects pertaining to COVID-19 related drugs.
• Other operating income at Rs. 118 million compared to Rs. 3.8 billion in Q1 FY20. Previous year included Rs. 3.5 billion received from Celgene pursuant to an agreement entered towards settlement of any claim the Company or its affiliates may have had for damages under section 8 of the Canadian Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations in regard to the Company’s ANDS for a generic version of REVLIMID brand capsules, (Lenalidomide) pending before Health Canada.

• Net Finance income at Rs. 605 million compared to Rs. 393 million in Q1 FY20. The increase is primarily on account of higher foreign exchange gain as compared to the previous year.

• Profit before Tax at Rs. 8.8 billion, increased by 3% year-on-year and by 23% sequentially. Adjusted for the Rs. 3.5 billion received from Celgene last year, the year-on-year growth is at 74%.
• Profit after Tax at Rs. 5.8 billion. The effective tax rate is around 34% for the quarter. The higher tax rate was primarily due to discontinuation of weighted deduction on R&D and completion of tax holiday for one of our plants.
• Diluted earnings per share is at Rs. 34.86.

Other Highlights:

• Capital expenditure is at Rs. 1.5 billion.
• Free cash-flow generated during the quarter stood at Rs. 9.3 billion (before acquisition related payout to Wockhardt of Rs. 15 billion).
• Net debt of the company is at Rs. 3.4 billion as on June 30, 2020. Consequently, net debt to equity ratio is 0.02.
