Dear Shareholders,
This is the first year when we report the performance of Jubilant Life
Sciences as a pure Pharma and Life Sciences Company. During the year
the name of the Company was changed from Jubilant Organosys Limited to
Jubilant Life Sciences Limited & the Agri and Performance Polymers
business was demerged from the Company. We believe this step has
further accentuated our partnering capabilities for value creation in
Life Sciences, for all our stakeholders.
For FY2011, Jubilant Life Sciences recorded consolidated Revenue of Rs.
34,334 million, EBITDA stood at Rs. 5,672 million, Net Profit was Rs. 2,297
million and the Basic EPS stood at Rs. 14.42 (face value Rs. 1 per equity
share).
Our Life Sciences Products business at Rs. 26,849 million which is 78% of
the overall revenue, reported a growth of 9% while the Life Science
Services business delivered revenues of Rs. 7,485 million, contributing
22% to consolidated revenue. The Life Science Products business
witnessed good volume growth across all products. This growth was
particularly fuelled by robust performance of APIs and Life Science
Chemicals in the Ingredients space and new product launches and market
share gains in the Generics business.
In Life Science Services business we have seen a muted performance for
the year but the business has turned around in last quarter. Previous
year had record sales with one time opportunity in H1N1 which was not
continued in FY 2011; excluding the onetime H1N1 contract last year,
CMO Services grew 5%. Functional services performed well though drug
development activity in the US faced pressure on account of market
slowdown, pharma consolidation and delayed on boarding of new
integrated programs.
The Company''s success so far is due to its strategic focus on its Life
Science Products and Services businesses, moving up the value chain for
products, providing services across geographies, constantly investing
in various growth platforms and promoting a culture of innovation.
Going forward, we are confident of our continuous ability to deliver on
the promise of a leading outsourcing player.
Global Pharma Outsourcing & India Opportunity
World over, there is pressure on Governments to reduce spiraling
healthcare costs given the rapidly ageing population. The use of low
cost generics is being encouraged across the developed world. The
increase in patent expiries is further putting pressure on the
innovators who are slated to forego products worth US$ 200 billion over
the next 5 years. This brings in additional pressure on the innovators
set to prioritise the replenishment of new product pipelines and
step-up outsourced manufacturing. Recently, several large pharma
companies have declared their intent to outsource their manufacturing
to cost efficient destinations.
The Global Pharma outsourcing [Contract Research Organisation (CRO)
6 Contract Manufacturing (CMO)] market which was valued at US$ 67
billion in 2010 is expected to reach US$ 90 billion by 2012. Although
India is a preferred destination for cost competitive & qualitative
pharma outsourcing, the penetration levels so far are quite low. The
Indian Custom Research & Manufacturing Services (CRAMS) industry at US$
3 billion is around 4-5 % of the global pharma outsourcing market.
These trends augur well for CRAMS/ Pharma Outsourcing. The penetration
of both CMOs and CROs is expected to increase up to 50-60% by 2015,
which brightens the long term visibility for the CRAMS industry. India
with its inherent strengths stands to gain from these positive trends.
Partnering for Value Creation
Jubilant Life Sciences is well positioned to capitalise on the global
outsourcing opportunity. Our wealth of knowledge in chemical and pharma
research, respect for Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), world-class
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) & multi locational US FDA approved
manufacturing plants, large talent pool, low R&D & manufacturing costs
give us an additional edge in this domain. Over the years, we have
strengthened our integrated business model to offer products and
services across the pharma value chain including end-to- end drug
discovery and development solutions. This enables us to partner
innovator pharma and life sciences companies for sustainable value
creation. We remain committed to strengthen our value offering through
global scale of operations, focus on innovative solutions, to deliver
value to our partners across the world.
Today, we are recognised as a preferred partner by leading pharma and
biotech companies. We remain focused on continually improving our cost
competitiveness and quality of production, through investment in R&D,
implementation of Lean Management methodology and Six Sigma business
strategies in manufacturing, efficient design & project management in
order to accelerate the ''speed to market'' for our customers'' products.
Creating a Focused Life Sciences Company
In order to reflect the focus of the Company as a pure pharma & life
sciences player, the name of the Company was changed from Jubilant
Organosys Limited to Jubilant Life Sciences Limited with effect from
October 1, 2010. Also the process of the demerger of Agri and
Performance Polymers business and the listing of the demerged entity
separately as Jubilant Industries Limited was completed on February 14,
2011. We now have two operating and listed companies; Jubilant Life
Sciences Limited and Jubilant Industries Limited, with eminent members
on the respective Board with independent Directors, focusing
independently on the growth of the respective Company.
Dividend
For FY 2011, we have announced a dividend of Rs. 2 per equity share of
face value Rs. 1 each which is 200% for the year. This year''s dividend
will result in a payout of Rs. 370 million including dividend tax.
Vision 2014
The Company''s future growth strategy will be driven by four key factors
of capacity enhancement; innovation led new launches; expansion of the
geographic markets and vertical integration. We see continued volume
growth in the Life Science Products business on the back of new product
launches and existing product ramp-ups. Good growth through
geographical expansion into international markets is expected to be led
by penetration into Europe, Japan and Emerging markets. The realignment
of the Services business with market requirements will bear fruit in
terms of better performance and margin enhancement.
We launched a new program Vision 2014 which will enable us to
witness:
1. Enhanced revenue momentum driven by robust geographical growth as
well as innovation led new products and launches,
2. Operating profit improvement due to revenue growth in Products
business, margin improvement in Services business, competitive
advantage with vertical integration and innovation led cost reduction
programs with the help of Six Sigma projects,
3. Attractive Return on Capital Employed through higher operating
profits and better capital utilisation and
4. Strong balance sheet with contained debt levels.
During the period, we have made investments in setting up new
capacities including one of the largest Sartans plant for APIs to tap
the CVS market, a Niacinamide plant for Vitamin B3 in Nutrition
Ingredients to further consolidate our leadership position, Symtet and
Pyridines plants to meet the increasing customer demands while moving
up the value chain in forward integration initiatives.
In FY 2012, our overall capex plan is at Rs. 5 billion which is likely to
generate revenue of more than Rs. 12 billion at current prices and full
capacity utilisation.
Corporate Social Responsibility
In line with our continued focus on the sustainability of the business,
we aim at improving stakeholder value through improved eco efficient
use of capital and natural resources. Our approach to sustainable
development focuses on the triple bottom line of Economic, Environment
and Social performance.
Corporate Social Responsibility is an integral part of how we conduct
our business and our efforts are directed towards community development
and inclusive growth. Going forward, we will be engaged in
strengthening our initiatives in the areas of Primary Education, Basic
Healthcare and
Livelihood Generation programs for our communities.
Partnering for Growth
We stay committed to partnering for value creation and take this
opportunity to thank all our stakeholders including independent
directors, our customers, partners, bankers and shareholders for
reposing their confidence in the Company and providing their unstinted
support.
We also take this opportunity to appreciate the contributions of our
employees across India, North America, Europe and other parts of the
world, who have participated in our journey this far. Through their
tireless efforts, enthusiasm and dedication, we have reached this
global size and scale. With our collective effort we will continue to
surpass the expectations of our customers and provide world class
products and services.
