Company Analysis
Industry Analysis: Industry trends: Indian and Global perspectives, recent happenings Indian pharmaceutical industry is undergoing fast paced changes. The Indian Generics market is witnessing rapid growth opening up immense opportunities for firms. This is further triggered by the fact that generics worth over $40 billion are going off patent in the coming few years which is close to 15% of the total prescription market of the US. The Indian pharmaceutical companies have been doing extremely well in developed markets such as US and Europe, notable among these being Ranbaxy, Dr. Reddy?s Labs, Wockhardt, Cipla, Nicholas Piramal and Lupin. The companies have their strategies in place to leverage opportunities and appropriate values existing in formulations, bulk drugs, generics, Novel Drug Delivery Systems, New Chemical Entities, Biotechnology etc. The industry ranks fourth globally in terms of volume and in terms of value, it is ranked thirteenth. The industry has thrived so far on reverse engineering skills exploiting the lack of process patent in the country. This has resulted in the Indian pharmaceutical players offering their products at some of the lowest prices in the world. The quality of the products is reflected in the fact that India has the highest number of manufacturing plants approved by US FDA, which is next only to that in the US. Multinational companies have traditionally dominated the industry, which is another trend seeing a reversal. Currently, it is the Indian companies which are dominating the marketplace with the local players dominating a number of key therapeutic segments. The Key to success in this industry is research & development. R&D is the starting of the industry value chain and is also the most important value creator. Companies that involve in R&D do so in specific areas. They chose specific therapeutic areas to target based on their strengths in the market, and the commercial potential. Global Trend The pharmaceutical industry is currently undergoing a period of very significant transformation. The majority of “Big Pharma” companies generate high returns, thus providing them with excess cash for further rapid growth – whether organic, or through mergers and acquisitions. topcompanies in the industry were active participants of mergers and acquisitions. The largest acquisitions in the industry during last years were the acquisition of Pharmacia by Pfizer (purchase price $58 billion), and acquisition of Guidant by Johnson & Johnson (purchase price $25 billion). Another form of structural change in the industry was establishing of new strategic alliances and joint ventures. So far as the research and development process for each drug take many years and requires significant investments, and the outcome of these investments of time and financial resources remains unclear until the final approval of the drug, “Big Pharma” companies are constantly looking for synergies that they can get from cooperation with their competitors.

years gave multiple examples of such initiatives. For example, cooperation of Sanofi-Aventis and Bristol-Myers Squibb resulted in production of Plavix, which is currently one of the topselling products for each of these companies. 2. PEST Analysis: Political, economic, social and technical aspects related to the industry Political There is now growing political focus and pressure on healthcare authorities across the world. This means that governments will be looking for savings across the board. ? ? ? Growing political focus and pressure on healthcare that cat backs more pressure on pricing. Same selection of drugs be available to everyone Harmonization of the healthcare across Europe.

Economic ? ? ? ? The global economic crisis still exists yet government reports still show that the spend on healthcare per capital continues to grow. The reduction in consumer disposable income will have an impact on those countries using health insurance models particularly where part payment is required. These economic pressures are seeing an increased growth in strategic buying groups who are forcing down prices. Increased pressure from shareholders has caused a consolidation of the industry: more mergers and acquisitions will take place over the coming years.

Social / Culture ? Patients awareness changing expectations increases more pressure on customer services ? Need for education and more price transparency ? Increased age of population because of this market likely to grow with increasing health concerns Technological Technological advancements will create new business prospects both in terms of new therapy systems and service provisions.

4. SWOT Analysis: Strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats

Strengths ? Strong expertise in the area of Recombinant Biotechnology ? Strong presence in the European market (50%+ revenue comes from Europe)
[Type text] Page 7

Company Analysis
? ? ? ? ? Significant ramping up of the US business (22 products marketed) Presence in lifestyle related diseases in India (Diabetes, Nephrology) Excellent products (original and generic) with very high quality. The company has plans to launch 12 to 15 products in US markets during the financial year 2011-12 Pinewood maintained its top position in Ireland?s generic products market

Weaknesses ? Salaries, compared to the market, aren't good at all. ? Nascent presence in the US market (Less than 10% contribution to total revenues) ? Highly leveraged balance sheet with D/E ratio more than 1.5x ? Absence of production plan which is obvious in the shortage of products

Opportunities ? Leverage on synergies present in the European market ? Aggressive growth in the US market (30 products pending approval) ? Introduction of Bio-generics in regulated markets (market size pegged at $10 bn) ? Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology research plans that are currently underway are in line with developmental strategy and will be a key business driver in the coming future in US and other regulated markets Threats ? Non-conversion of FCCBs will lead to huge liabilities in FY09 of $140mn. Also, FCCB conversion will lead to about 9% equity dilution from Rs 547mn to Rs 559mn. ? Integration of European businesses is a major challenge (Negma and Pinewood acquisitions have to be integrated with the UK business) ? Pricing pressure in the US may restrict expected revenue growth (price erosion more than 95%) specially in cephalosporin segment, with growing competition from companies like Orchid Chemicals and Lupin ? Any expensive acquisitions may increase payback period ? Increasing competition in the European generic market with the growing presence of frontline Indian pharma companies including Ranbaxy and Reddys ? There is a risk of domestic currency appreciation as the company derives major revenue from international operations (1 to 3% impact on operating profits for every one rupee appreciation)

Company Analysis
5. Various strategies employed by the company in the course of conducting business (in the form of alliances, joint ventures, product innovation/ expansion strategies, acquisitions/ divestitures and any such strategies that you think may affect the business of the company) in past 2 years. (Make intelligent use of above points while trying to understand the strategies used by the company) a. Hierarchical: At the corporate level, business unit level and functional or department level of the firm One of the key strategies adopted by Wockhardt wasValue Buy-outs: Buy loss-making companies and turn them around. ? In 1998, Wockhardt acquired Wallis Laboratory, a loss-making manufacturer distributor of over-the-counter drugs, for US$ 9 million and made it profitable. ? Wallis Laboratory provided the base for the manufacturing and marketing of medicines and personal care products. ? In 2003, CP Pharmaceuticals were acquired by Wockhardt Limited. ? CP Pharmaceuticals provided a manufacturing base for pharmaceuticals. ? In 2009, Fortis Healthcare Ltd. (Fortis), a hospital chain established by the promoters of Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited (RLL), acquired 10 hospitals of the Wockhardt Hospitals Group (Wockhardt Hospitals), a subsidiary of Wockhardt Ltd. (Wockhardt) for Rs. 9.09 billion. Wockhardt Hospitals was expected to benefit from the acquisition as it would be able to reduce its debt burden of Rs. 5 billion of the total debt of Rs. 34 billion. Besides, it planned to expand its hospitals with the remaining money. ? In Feb 2009, the stock price of Wockhardt made a low of Rs 70 and was down 80% in a year. The price later recovered to Rs 150 when the sale of its nutritional business to Abbott was finalized in July 2009. ? Some companies & FCCB challenged „withdrawal of winding up petition? on Wockhardt. The company finally negotiated the restructuring of FCCB loans with the hedge fund QVT. As QVT held majority of the FCCBs (US$ 42 m) out of the total US$ 74 m remaining, the same terms were enforced on the other lenders too. As part of the settlement, QVT also decided to withdraw the 'winding up' petition filed against the company in the court. ? After the settlement with QVT who holds most of the FCCBs, the stock price recovered further from the Rs 150 mark to around Rs 380 levels. ? The company has been acquiring companies to facilitate its entry into a segment or for tapping a particular geography. This has facilitated the company to penetrate into desired markets. ? Wockhardt Ltd has agreed to sell its nutrition business to French food multinational Danone for about $356 million (Rs 1,576 crore), more than double the amount at which it

had signed a similar deal with US pharmaceutical giant Abbott a year ago. The Abbott deal was called off after Wockhardt?s lenders opposed the sale of its nutrition business.

b. Business Division: According to various products, divisions, markets, etc. Wockhardt Limited UK operates through various business divisions – ? Retail and Hospital Medicines, ? Private Label Medicines, ? Oral Healthcare, ? Contract Manufacturing and ? Export. In the case of the oral healthcare division, products are sold under Wockhardt's own brand (ConfiDent brand) as well as under private labels. Wockhardt also undertakes contract manufacturing in the UK, which helps the company to increase its revenue from its UK operations. CP Pharmaceuticals, acquired in 2003, strengthened the contract-manufacturing capabilities of the company.

It has placed great emphasis on the research to be conducted in producing improved nutritional products. Collaborations Wockhardt works with partners to in-license products in India and out-license products into other regions by capitalizing on these collaborative strengths to capture and penetrate new markets.
