Segmental Analysis [Full Year and Q4 FY 19]

Global Generics (GG)

Revenues from GG segment at Rs.123 billion. Year-on-year (YoY)
growth of 8%

Growth on account of higher contribution from Emerging Markets and
India; primarily due to volume gains, new launches and scale up of new
markets.

Revenues from North America for the year at Rs.60.0 billion,
and remained flat on a YoY basis. The year was benefited by new
launches, market share gains for existing products and a favorable
forex rate, which was offset by price erosion in some of our key
molecules.
Revenues for the Q4 at Rs.15.0 billion, YoY growth of 3% and
sequential growth of 1%. During this quarter, we launched 5 new
products – major ones being Propofol injection and Tadalafil (Adcirca
and Cialis).

As of 31^st March 2019, cumulatively 110 generic filings are
pending for approval with the USFDA (107 ANDAs and 3 NDAs under
505(b)(2) route). Of these 107 ANDAs, 60 are Para IVs out of which we
believe 34 have ‘First to File’ status.

Revenues from Emerging Markets for the year at Rs.28.9 billion,
YoY growth of 28%.
- Revenues from Russia for the year at Rs.15.3 billion, YoY
  growth of 21%. Growth was majorly driven by scale up of Nasivin
  launched during FY 18 and improvement in base business, partially
  offset by adverse exchange rate movement.
- Revenues for the Q4 at Rs.3.6 billion, YoY growth of 41%. Growth
  primarily driven by better volume traction as previous year was
  impacted by lower volume off-take by the channel.
- Revenues from other CIS countries and Romania for the year
  at Rs.5.2 billion, YoY growth of 34%.
- Revenues from Rest of World (RoW) territories for the year
  at Rs.8.4 billion, YoY growth of 36%. Growth primarily on account
  of new launches and volume traction in key products.

Revenues from India for the year at Rs.26.2 billion, YoY
growth of 12%, with a growth in base business and new product
launches. Revenues for Q4 at Rs.6.5 billion, YoY growth of 6%.
Revenues from Europe for the year at Rs.7.9 billion, YoY
decline of 4% impacted by price erosion. Revenues for Q4 at Rs.1.9
billion, YoY growth of 12%, primarily on account of new launches.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)

Revenues from PSAI for the year at Rs.24.1 billion, YoY growth
of 10%. Growth driven by sales from key molecules and favorable forex.
Revenues for the Q4 at Rs.6.8 billion, YoY growth of 8%
During the quarter, we have filed 4 DMFs in the US.

Proprietary Products (PP)

Revenues from PP for the year at Rs.4.7 billion, YoY growth of
12%. Revenues include Rs.1.8 billion, realized from the sale of derma
brands. In previous year, we had a milestone revenue of Rs.1.5 billion.

Income Statement Highlights [Full Year and Q4 FY 19]

Gross profit margin for the year at 54.2%: Improved by ~50 bps over
previous year primarily on account of new launches, leverage on
manufacturing overheads, favorable forex rates, offset largely by
higher price erosions in the US and Europe markets. Gross profit
margin for GG and PSAI business segments are at 58.5% and 25.4%
respectively.
Gross profit margin for the Q4 at 52.4% (GG: 56.0%, PSAI: 21.0%).
- YoY basis the gross margin declined by ~100 bps, primarily on
  account of price erosion, partially offset by new launches and
  favorable forex rates
- QoQ basis the gross margin declined by ~150 bps, primarily on
  account of adverse forex rate from Q3 to Q4, change in the
  business mix, higher manufacturing overheads due to certain
  one-off charges and overhead impact on inventory movement. The
  decline in gross margin was partially offset due to revenue
  recognition on PP Derma products.
SG&A expenses at Rs.48.9 billion, YoY increase of 4%. SG&A expenses
for the Q4 at Rs.12.4 billion, year-on-year increase at 3%. We
continue to focus on cost optimization and productivity improvement.

Research & development (R&D) expenses at Rs.15.6 billion. As % to
Revenues – FY19: 10.1% | FY 18: 12.9%. Focus continues on building
complex generics, biosimilars and differentiated products pipeline.
R&D expenses for the Q4 at Rs.3.7 billion, as % to revenues stood at
9.1%.
Net Finance income for the year at Rs.1.1 billion compared to Rs.2.1
billion in FY18. The decline is primarily on account of higher income
from profit on sales of investments by Rs.1.5 billion in previous year.
Profit after Tax at Rs.18.8 billion. Effective tax rate at 16.3%.
Profit after tax for the Q4 at Rs.4.3 billion. Effective tax rate
during the quarter at 25.8%.

earnings per share for Q4 is at Rs.26.2
Capital expenditure for FY19 is at Rs.7.0 billion. Capital expenditure
for Q4 FY18 is at Rs.1.8 billion.

The Board has recommended payment of a dividend of Rs.20 per equity
share of face value Rs.5/- each (400% of face value) for the year ended
March 31, 2019 subject to approval of members.
