Segmental Analysis

Global Generics (GG)

  • Revenues from GG segment at INR.30.6 billion. Year-on-year growth of 12 per cent, primarily driven by contributions from emerging markets, India and launch of gSuboxone in the US. Sequential growth is 10 per cent.
  • Revenues from North America at INR15.9 billion. Year-on-year growth is 6 per cent. Sequential growth of 10 per cent, driven by contribution from new products, primarily gSuboxone, and partly offset by competitive pressures on some of the key molecules.
  • As of June 30,2018, cumulatively 112 generic filings are pending for approval with the USFDA (109 ANDAs and 3 NDAs under 505(b)(2) route). Of these 109 ANDAs, 61 are Para IVs out of which 30 have ‘First to File’ status.
  • Revenues from emerging markets at INR.6.6 billion. Year-on-year growth is 16 per cent. Sequential growth is 21 per cent.
  • Revenues from Russia at INR 3.8 billion. Year-on-year growth of nine per cent. Constant currency growth is 14 per cent. Growth primarily driven by new launches and volume traction in some of the key molecules.
  • Revenues from other CIS countries and Romania market at INR1.2 billion. Year-on-year growth of 37 per cent, primarily driven by new launches across markets.
  • Revenues from Rest of World (RoW) territories at INR1.7 billion. Year-on-year growth of 17 per cent, primarily driven by new markets and volume traction in base business.
  • Revenues from India at INR6.1 billion. Year-on-year growth of 30 per cent. Q1FY18 was impacted due to GST transition.
  • Revenues from Europe at INR2.0 billion. Year-on-year decline of 3 per cent, primarily on account of higher price erosion in some of the key molecules.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)

  • Revenues from PSAI at INR 5.4 billion. Year-on-year growth of 16 per cent. Sequential decline is 13 per cent.
  • During the quarter, two DMFs with the USFDA were filed.

Proprietary Products (PP)
Revenues from PP at INR 726 million. Year-on-year growth of 42 per cent, majorly driven by volume traction coupled with better realizations in some of the key molecules. Sequential decline is 14 per cent. Q4FY18 had a one-time out licensing income of INR160 million, received from Encore Dermatology.

Income Statement Highlights:

  • Gross profit margin at 55.7 per cent.
    Improved by ~230 bps sequentially and ~410 bps over that of previous year
    Improvement primarily aided by contribution from new launches including gSuboxone, leverage benefit, better product mix coupled with favorable foreign exchange. This was partially offset by higher price erosions due to channel consolidation and increased competitive intensity in some of our key molecules in the US.
    Gross profit margin for GG and PSAI business segments are at 61.2 per cent and 21.9 per cent respectively.
  • SG&A expenses at INR12.1 billion, marginal increase of 3 per cent on a year-on-year basis and remained flat sequentially.
  • R&D expenses at INR4.2 billion. As per cent to Revenues- Q1 FY19: 11.2 per cent | Q4 FY 18: 12.3 per cent | Q1 FY18: 15.3 per cent. Decrease is primarily on account of quarterly variation in the milestone related payments and other spend activities. Focus continues on building complex generics, biosimilars and differentiated products pipeline.
  • Net Finance income at INR156 million compared to INR 221 million in Q1FY18.
  • Profit after Tax at INR4.6 billion. The effective tax rate is 8.9 per cent for the quarter. This is lower primarily on account of profit mix and favourable resolutions of certain tax related litigations pertaining to earlier years. The effective tax rate in Q1FY18 was 23.5 per cent.
  • Diluted earnings per share is at INR 27.45
  • Capital expenditure is at INR 2.3 billion.
