1.15 (1.55%)| Chairman's Speech (Bilcare) | Year : Mar '11 |
Dear Shareholders, In the two decades of Bilcare''s existence, your company has achieved numerous milestones and 2010 – 11 has been a watershed year. For the past decade, Team Bilcare has strived to achieve global leadership in the pharmaceutical packaging domain. Driven by our vision, beliefs and commitment to excellence, this goal has now been achieved and we stand acknowledged as one of the leading global players in the pharma packaging industry. Even as I pen my thoughts on the successful achievement of volume leadership in our domain, the long persistent challenges of Pharma brands – growth, convenience and communication to patients, and perhaps most importantly, the serious issue of spurious drugs are yet to be resolved. This is where your company is committed to bring path-breaking innovations through technology solutions. Bilcare''s recent European venture has resulted in new global footprints and an opportunity to partner with over 2000 established customers backed by state-of-the-art research and plant facilities in America, Europe and Asia. As your company steps forward into an exciting and challenging business environment, it is leveraging its considerable cumulative learning and customer-centric solutions to build strong engagements with the heavyweights of pharma in Europe and allied countries. This strategy is consistent with current market trends in the packaging and pharmaceutical packaging sectors. Western Europe, US and Japan dominate sales and consumption figures although Central America, Asia and Central & Eastern Europe are forecast to show the highest growth rates over the next four years. In the pharmaceutical packaging vertical, industry experts estimate that the U.S and Europe will account for more than 50% of pharmaceutical packaging demand. U.S. will remain the largest consumer of pharmaceutical packaging as its advanced drug- producing sector introduces sophisticated therapies with specialized packaging needs. At the same time, India, China and Brazil are poised to provide rapid opportunities for growth based on expanding pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities and the up-gradation and diversification of drug-producing sectors. With Bilcare''s strategic presence across the globe, your company is set for long-term growth by integrating cross-border strengths and best practices. At our facilities, we look to supplement over four decades of European manufacturing excellence in combination with our research capabilities in India and Singapore. This is also resulting in a seamless blending of the cost optimization of the East with the efficient decision-making process and product development chain of the West; creating a win- win situation for our customers and numerous ''generation next'' ideas and solutions for demanding markets across the globe. Across our businesses, Research and Innovation continues to be the backbone of our path forward. We have expanded our basket of products and services to provide comprehensive solutions to the packaging needs of our global clientele. Bilcare''s innovation-led solutions approach allows us to work as an extended arm of our customers, and is yielding excellent results in other verticals of our packaging business as well. We believe that absorption and adaptation of new ideas and technologies enables us to develop new products, processes & solutions and leads to successful technology innovations. Our aluminium material innovations, child protection solutions and many patented anti-counterfeiting products are the new growth areas for Bilcare. Our consolidated revenue stands at Rs.. 2,287 Crores, showing a 118% growth. EBIDTA grew at 45% and stood at Rs. 377 Crores while PAT was Rs. 149 Crores. The Directors recommend a dividend of 30%, amounting to Rs. 3.00 per share. Today, I am excited about the impeccable quality of our people, augmented by our recent acquisition. Team Bilcare continues to drive the core of our initiatives, enterprise and growth. Our multicultural employee pool continues to set new standards of excellence as we are constantly inspired by our human talent and innovation. We seek to create an enterprise of entrepreneurs driving the business globally and have put processes and systems in place to develop empowered leaders. Your company is riding a new wave of possibilities for sustainable growth. We seek to build on our achievements and develop our human potential to the greater benefit of our stakeholders in a profitable, responsible and inclusive manner. Our belief towards society, has given impetus to our continued CSR initiatives, providing educational resources to deserving children, ensuring the inculcation of leadership qualities and investing in their holistic development. Although FY 2011 has been a watershed year , I see the next 3 years promising to usher in beneficial times for Bilcare. I am confident that, with our depth of resources, products and talent, we can meet varied business & industry challenges and deliver the values we seek to achieve. While consolidating our assets and ensuring optimum utilization of our offerings, we will be the most preferred client partner and establish a strong global leadership in our domain.
