March 14, 2012 Initiating Coverage ICICI Securities Ltd | Retail Equity Research Banking on integrated CRAMS model… Jubilant Life Sciences (JLS) is an integrated mid-sized pharmaceutical company that has a presence across the value chain from basic life science chemicals to generic formulations including speciality pharmaceuticals like radio pharmaceuticals. It is the largest Indian company in the CRAMS space. The demerger of its agri and polymer products business augurs well for concentrating on pharmaceuticals and catering to incremental CRAMS demand. With the unique USP of being vertically integrated, it is well placed to maintain margins and profitability despite volatility in pricing. We expect JLS’ revenues, EBIDTA and PAT to grow at a CAGR of 16.8%, 26.5% and 24.4% to | 5152.6 crore, | 1130.1 crore and | 521.1 crore, respectively in FY11-14E. We are initiating coverage on the stock with a BUY rating. CRAMS revival to improve leverage position After a lull in FY10, the fortunes of Indian CRAMS players are slowly but surely coming back to normal. JLS, being the largest Indian CRAMS player, is riding on the revival in CRAMS fortunes and the recent order inflow of ~US$270 million (most of them are ‘take or pay’) in the last 8 to 12 months vindicates the revival. This, we believe, will improve the cash flows and already stretched balance sheet, a major stumbling block for valuation multiples. Life science products to provide multiple growth drivers The life science products business (~78% of overall sales), which comprises seven business verticals, is expected to grow at a CAGR of ~17% in FY11-14E on the back of new capacity additions and new product launches in various geographies. We believe pricing pressure in the life science ingredients (LSI) sub-category will be made good by strong traction from the generic sub-category. Valuations We have applied the EV/EBITDA methodology to value JLS on account of substantial debts on its books, which are here to stay for a sizable part of its future. We have valued the stock at ~50% discount to CRAMS leader (market cap) Divi’s Laboratories on account of 1) high leverage, 2) diversified Group interests and 3) Divi’s superior financials. A revival in the CRAMS space is, however, equally applicable to JLS. New product launches and incremental capacity utilisation will drive the growth and ease substantial balance sheet pressure. Our target price is | 209 based on 5.5x FY14E EV/ EBITDA. The stock is currently trading at 5.1x FY14E EV/EBITDA giving ~15% upside. We recommend BUY with a lightweight bias.

Company background Incorporated in 1978, Jubilant Life Sciences (JLS; formerly Jubilant Organosys), is a mid-sized integrated chemicals turned pharmaceuticals player. It started as a full fledged chemical company by entering the vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) business in 1983. Broadly, the company operates through two business segments — life science products & life science services, which contribute ~78% and ~22% of total sales respectively (FY11). JLS is has a strong presence across the pharmaceutical value chain: drug discovery, R&D services and commercial manufacturing of advance intermediates (AIs), active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other generic drugs. It is also a global leader in 14 advance intermediates including Pyridine. JLS also manufactures life science chemicals (acetyls & specialty gases) and nutrition ingredients for human and animal feed consumption (Niacin, Niacinamide & Choline Chloride). Further, with two operational hospitals in West Bengal, JLS has a small presence in the healthcare business. In FY03-09, JLS expanded its presence into new segments and geographies primarily through the inorganic route. It forayed into supplying generic dosage forms by acquiring Cadista Holdings (US) and PSI Inc (EU). It also entered the Contract Manufacturing Organisation (CMO) business, radiopharmaceuticals and allergenic extracts business by acquiring companies in the US and Canada. The company has so far filed 44 ANDAs with the USFDA, of which 19 have been approved and 11 have been launched. JLS has also filed 54 DMFs in the US, 29 in Europe, 27 in Canada and 6 in Japan. JLS is a part of the Jubilant Bhartia Group headquartered in Noida. Other than pharma, the group has a presence in sectors like food and retail, oil & gas, agri & performance polymers and consulting services in the aerospace and oilfield industries. JLS has 6200 employees including more than 1300 employees in R&D. The company markets its products in more than 75 countries including advanced markets like the US, EU and Japan. Around 69% of total sales come from international markets. It owns 7 manufacturing facilities in India and 3 in North America. In Q4FY11, the company demerged its agri-products and performance polymer segment into a separate entity and listed the same under the name Jubilant Industries.

Investment Rationale JLS is the largest Indian CRAMS player with ~50% of sales coming from CRAMS spread among various business verticals. It caters mostly to advanced markets such as the US, Canada, Japan and EU. The company provides solutions at all stages - right from molecule identification to generic commercial manufacturing of formulations. A global revival in CRAMS can be seen as a positive development for the company as it owns huge manufacturing facilities for almost all types of requirements of big pharma players. Higher utilisation rate will improve the leverage/balance sheet ratios, which have been seen as legacy concerns for the company. We expect revenue growth to be driven mainly by its products (ingredients & generics business) and to some extent by services business. New product launches and incremental capacity utilisation of the recently commissioned Sartan facility in APIs, timely execution of PPES order book and commissioning of symtet manufacturing facility would drive the growth in the life science ingredients (LSI) segment. We expect the LSI segment to grow at a CAGR of 14.6% of to | 3373 crore in FY11-14E. The successful launch of RubyFill and Magnevist in the radio pharmaceutical segment and other dosage form launches across advanced markets will boost sales in the generic business. We expect sales from the generic business to grow at a CAGR of 29.8% to | 997 crore in FY11-14E. The overall products business sales are expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% to | 4370 crore in FY11-14E. On the services business front, shortage of sterile capacities and current Good Manufacturing practises (cGMP) issues at some of the large players end in the US may be a major booster for the CMO business by virtue of its locations in the US and Canada. We expect more CMO contracts in the sterile business, which would drive overall services business growth. We expect sales from the services business to grow at a CAGR of 14.7% to | 1134 crore in FY11-14E.

Life science products to drive overall growth via new launches

The life science products (LSP) segment constitutes just over three-fourth of the overall sales. It comprises two broad sub-segments - life science ingredients (65% of overall sales) and generics (~13% of overall sales). In

spite of being under considerable pricing pressure on account of the commodity nature of some of its verticals, the LSP segment remains a high EBITDA generator on account of its vertically integrated business model. As more and more capacities go on stream in the near future from this segment, new product launches and incremental capacity utilisation will drive the overall growth for the company. We expect LSP to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% to | 4370 crore in FY11-14E.

APIs, proprietary products to accelerate LSI growth The life science ingredients (LSI) segment comprises four verticals - proprietary products and exclusive synthesis (PPES), nutritional ingredients, life science chemicals and APIs. This segment will see major capacity additions in verticals such as PPES, nutritional ingredients and APIs. We expect new launches and order execution to counter some of the legacy pricing pressure in this segment. Further, JLS’ own expertise in Pyridine and Acetyl chemistry will also play a major role in LSI growth. We expect LSI to grow at a CAGR of 14.6% to | 3373 crore in FY11-14E.

agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals and is also an important solvent and reagent. The company set up the Pyridine facility way back in 1990. Over the years, it ventured into various derivatives of Pyridine used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals industries. The proprietary products portfolio includes products such as Pyridine, Picolines, Piperidines, Cyanopyridines, Aminopyridines, Chloro and Bromopyridines, etc. JLS has a portfolio of 150 proprietary products, which form the building blocks for 110 APIs and 22 agro-chemicals. These products are categorised under various business units such as advanced intermediates, fine chemicals and crop sciences. JLS enjoys global leadership position in Pyridine In exclusive synthesis (ES), the company works with the innovator companies from the early stage of development to offer intermediates and APIs throughout the value chain by altering production requirements as per the client’s needs. JLS has 17 projects of exclusive synthesis in various phases of development. The PP business is prone to pricing pressure, which was visible in the last few quarters. This is more of a volume driven business. JLS’ growth strategy for this segment is to augment existing facility and introduce new products. In this regard, it plans to start production for two new agrochemicals actives and some new launches in fine chemicals and intermediates. The new manufacturing facility at the Bharuch SEZ is expected to further boost sales from the PP segment. JLS plans to exploit its expertise in Pyridine to manufacture Symtet (2, 3, 5, 6-Tetrachloropyridine), a derivative of Pyridine, used by agrochemicals producers. Symtet production on a larger scale has been earmarked for a particular customer. At its full capacity (24000 MTPA), the plant will have a revenue potential of ~US$90 million. We expect sales from the PPES segment to grow at a CAGR of 15.8% to | 1481 crore in FY11-14E, driven by new capacities going on stream in the PP sub-segment.

With a wider product offering, the LSC segment derives sales from various geographies such as India, Japan, Europe and other emerging markets. As per the strategy to strengthen the reach in European markets, JLS has appointed a leading Swedish firm as sales and marketing agent for two key life science chemicals. We expect LSC to grow at a CAGR of 12% to | 1059.4 crore during FY11-14E on account of capacity de-bottlenecking.

New Sartan launches to push APIs growth– APIs constitute ~10% of overall sales. The focus areas are central nervous system (CNS), cardiovascular (CVS), anti-infectives, anti-ulcerants, analgesics and anti-osteoporotic. JLS derives ~50% of API revenues from US and Europe. The company enjoys global market leadership in some of the APIs such as Carbamazepine (CNS, Rank 1), Oxcarbazepine (CNS, Rank 1), Lamotrigine (CNS, Rank 1), Pinaverium Bromide (GI, Rank 1), Citalopram (CNS, Rank 2) and Risperidone (CNS, Rank 2). In order to shore up CVS API sales, JLS has set up a new block for Sartans (APIs used for anti-hypertensive formulations) at its Nanjangud (Karnataka) facility in March 2011. The company has identified incremental growth opportunities from products such as Valsartan, Irbesartan and Losartan as these products are on the verge of patent expiry. The company has tied up with most of the players who have filed ANDAs in respective categories.

The Sartans block has a revenue potential of ~US$50-60 million at 100% capacity utilisation. JLS has already launched Valsartan and Irbesartan in Europe, Canada and parts of emerging markets. Going ahead, we believe a ramp up at the Sartan block will lead the overall API growth. JLS plans to launch around 50 products in the next three years mainly from the CNS and CVS category. Most of these launches are earmarked for the US and Europe. These launches together have a market potential of ~US$1 billion. As on date, JLS has filed 54 DMFs in the US, 29 in Europe, 27 in Canada and six in Japan. We estimate sales from APIs will grow at a CAGR of 18% to | 558 crore during FY11-14E.

Dosage form segment remain key for Generic business The generics business accounts for ~13% of total sales. Under this segment, the company operates in three verticals i.e. (i) radio pharmaceuticals (3.8% of total sales) (ii) allergenic extracts (3.5% of sales) and (iii) solid dosage forms (5.9% of sales). Both radio pharma and allergenic extracts are called speciality pharma products. The generic business has grown at a CAGR of 61% between FY07 and FY11 mainly on the back of inorganic expansions. In the last three years, JLS has improved product filing in dosage forms, which is expected to bring incremental revenues over the next three or four years. Currently it is planning to increase its reach across all these segments. Over the next three years, it is looking to launch two products in the radio pharma space in the US and Canada. Overall in the generic business, we expect at least three or four new product launches (every year) in the US markets. Overall, we expect the total generic business to grow at a CAGR of 29.8% to | 997 crore between FY11 and FY14E.

Momentum in radiopharma segment via new product launches JLS forayed into the radiopharmaceuticals segment by acquiring Draxis Pharma in FY09 for US$253 million. Draxis Pharma operates in the contract manufacturing business (both sterile and non-sterile) and radiopharmaceuticals (through its subsidiary Draximage). Radiopharmaceuticals are used for both therapeutic and diagnostic molecular imaging applications. The radiopharma segment is a niche, high entry barrier business. Draximage primarily supplies radiopharma products to radio pharmacies that provide therapeutic and diagnostic solutions to end customers comprising hospitals, imaging centres and cardiology/oncology clinics. Sodium Iodide I-131 is the main contributor of revenue to this segment. JLS is the leading manufacturer of I-131 in the US. I-131 is used to treat hyperthyroidism. Currently, radiopharma products are marketed in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, etc. Recently, it has also received approval from the Atomic Energy Research Board (AERB) to set up a radio pharmacy in India. The successful setting up of the pharmacy would help the company to enter its radio pharmaceutical business in India. Beside India, it also plans to expand its business in the Middle East. The business was impacted in FY10 and H1FY11 due to shortage of raw materials i.e. isotopes. However, with the re-commissioning of nuclear reactors in September 2010 in Canada, raw materials issues have been more or less addressed. To avoid supply issues, it has also tied up with nuclear reactors based in other continents. The successful launch of nuclear medicine imaging agent Sestamibi has improved sales in FY11 over FY10. JLS is planning to launch other products like RubyFill, Magnevist and MolyFill in FY13-15, which would drive sales and profitability. The market size for RubyFill in the US and Canada is around US$60-80 million. It has received approval for RubyFill from the Canadian regulatory authority and also expects USFDA approval in the first half of FY13. We expect sales of the radiopharmaceutical division to grow at a CAGR of ~21% in FY11-14E to | 232 crore.

Muted growth to continue in Allergenic extracts JLS entered Allergenic extracts in North America through the acquisition of Hollister-Stier for US$122.5 million. Hollister-Stier operates in two businesses i.e. Allergenic extracts and contract manufacturing for sterile products. Allergenic extracts are widely used to diagnose and treat allergic diseases. These extracts are usually aqueous solutions prepared from a wide variety of such substances as pollen, mould, animal dander, food dust and insects. In the US, more than 1500 substances have been extracted and marketed as allergenic extracts. JLS has a dominant position in more than 200 different allergens and standard mixes of allergy vaccines. Revenues from this business account for 3.5% of total sales. Sales from the segment witnessed marginal growth of 7% in FY09-11. This was, however, higher than the industry growth rate of 2-3%. Currently, the company has a presence in limited parts of the US. It is looking to expand its geographic presence across the US.

business. We expect sales from this segment to grow at a CAGR of 8% in FY11-14E to | 152 crore. Strong pipeline in advanced markets to hold key for dosage forms Solid dosage formulations contribute ~6% of total sales. Around 90% of JLS’ solid dosage sales come from the US market. JLS supplies generic dosage forms directly to the US Federal Government and also markets its own products in the US market through the distribution network of its subsidiary, Jubilant Cadista. JLS holds around 83% stake in Jubilant Cadista. For the nine months ended December 2011, Cadista posted robust growth of 128% to US$64.6 million on the back of an increase in both price and volume of existing products. The profit increased by 270% to US$22.7 million. The company has so far filed 44 ANDAs with the USFDA, of which 19 have been approved and 11 have been launched. JLS enjoys a leadership position in drugs such as Terazosin (CVS) and Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory). Other products that are in the top three are Cyclobenzprine (anti-inflammatory), Hydrochlorothiazide (CVS), Lamotrigine (CNS) and Meclizine (CNS). We expect the company to launch three to four products in the US market over the next two-three years. The company also established its presence in the EU, where it follows a partnership model: JLS develops and licences dossiers to European generic pharmaceutical companies and also undertakes the supply of dosage forms once necessary approvals are obtained. It caters to the US and EU markets from the facilities located at Salisbury, US and Roorkee, India. The Roorkee facility recently got USFDA approval. The capacity utilisation is expected to go up in the near future on the back of higher product approvals from advanced countries like the US, EU and Japan. It has filed 35 dossiers in the EU market, received approval for 30 and launched eight products. In the RoW markets, it has made 160 filings and received approval for 28 products. JLS plans to file 18 ANDAs in the US, 10 in Canada, more than 15 dossiers in EU and more than 100 product filings across RoW markets in the next three years. With more product launches and a sustainable growth model in the US, we expect sales from the solid dosage form to grow at a CAGR of 44% in FY11-14E to | 613 crore.

Recovery in CRAMS to drive life science services ahead The life science services (LSS) business contributed around ~22% of total sales in FY11 and 21% in 9MFY12. The company operates in three verticals i.e. (i) contract manufacturing for both sterile and non-sterile business (15.4% of total sales) (ii) drug development and discovery services (6.1% of total sales) and (iii) hospitals business (0.3% of total sales). Sales from LSS witnessed flat growth in the last three years due to a downturn in the global CRAMS industry on account of inventory rationalisation and the global economic slowdown. With the recent tie-ups in the DDDS segment and five agreements worth US$160 million in the CMO business, we believe JLS has overcome a rough patch. The recovery in the global economic condition coupled with re-stocking at the client’s end is expected to improve the prospects of the LSS segment. We expect sales to grow at a CAGR of ~15% in FY11-14E to | 1134 crore.

Timely execution of contracts to hold key for CMO JLS entered the contract manufacturing (CMO business) of sterile injectables and non-sterile products through the acquisitions of Hollister Stier and Draxis Pharma, in North America in FY08 and FY09, respectively. Through these acquisitions, the company got hold of two manufacturing facilities; one in the US (from Hollister Stier) and the other in Canada (from Draxis Pharma), which are used for the CMO business.

The manufacturing facility of Hollister Stier is used for sterile while the Draxis facility is used for both sterile and non sterile products. The CMO business contributes around 15% to total sales. Post completion of the Hollister Stier acquisition, JLS expanded the sterile capacity of this facility to 120 million vials per year from 48 million vials per year at an investment of US$43 million. The Draxis manufacturing facility has a current capacity of 60 million vials per year, taking the total capacity to 180 million vials per year. The company serves most of the top global pharmaceutical companies in the CMO business. The current capacity utilisation is around ~65% for 9MFY12, which improved by almost 10% over FY11 capacity utilisation. For the non-sterile product business, the company had signed a contract worth US$120 million for five years with Johnson & Johnson (J&J) for contract manufacturing of ointments, creams and liquids, which has started from January 2009. In FY11, revenues from this contract were impacted due to the restructuring at J&J, which resulted in renegotiation of prices. The CMO business went through a rough patch in FY10, in line with the overall global CRAMS trend. Had it not been for the execution of the H1N1 order worth | 158 crore for GSK, the CMO sales would have actually de-grown in FY10. As we see a revival in the CRAMS business on account of customer re-stocking, the CMO segment will be the beneficiary of the measure. There are certain other issues such as acute shortages in some of the steriles in the US and cGMP related issues at eight out of the top 10 US sterile companies. By virtue of its CMO facilities in the US and Canada, we believe JLS is well placed to tap these opportunities. The addition of new contracts worth US$160 million over the last six months vindicates the potential. We expect sales from CMO to grow at a CAGR of ~17% to | 838 crore in FY11-14E.

Shrinking R&D pipeline, patent vacuum to stimulate DDDS Drug discovery and development solutions (DDDS) constitute 6% of total sales. JLS provides DDDS to R&D teams of large global pharmaceutical companies through its subsidiaries: Jubilant Biosys, Jubilant Chemsys and Jubilant Clinsys (India & US). Biosys and Chemsys provide drug discovery services while Clinsys provides drug development services. These subsidiaries partner with pharma and biotech companies to provide a wide range of services starting from the initial stage of identifying the candidate up to the clinical trials stage. The company provides services in both full service model (FSM) and full time equipment model (FTEM). Under FSM, the company will get both monthly research fee and milestones if any, once the molecule reaches key stage. Beside these, JLS is also eligible to get royalties if any of these molecules reach the market after the grant of patent. Majority of the contracts that JLS is currently executing are FSM. Under FTEM, the innovator companies outsource the job of developing the facility, offices and human resources to a service provider, who could be a CRO with the understanding of the clinical trial data management and biostatistics business. The innovator will only provide software, hardware and arrange for their installation and training.

sales. This business, however, is now slowly crawling back to normal. Over the last six months, it has signed two contracts. The company started FY12 with 17 developing programmes and expects to close the year by adding 5-6 programmes. We expect a slow but steady revenue stream from this segment. At the same time, we expect the recovery in Clinsys to be slower and turn profitable only in FY14. We forecast segment revenues will grow at a CAGR of 10% in FY11-14E to | 280 crore.

No expansion plans in near term JLS currently operate two hospitals in West Bengal. The total bed capacity of these two hospitals is 170. The company ventured into the hospital services business in FY08 acquiring a hospital at Berhampore, which has 50 beds. Later in 2009, it opened 120 bed hospitals at Barasat, West Bengal. JLS is not looking to expand its hospital business in the near term. Still at a nascent stage, the healthcare segment contributed ~ | 12 crore to total revenues in FY11. We expect sales to grow at a CAGR of 10% in FY11-14E to | 16 crore.

Demerger of APP business a strategic move Effective November 15, 2010, erstwhile Jubilant Organosys demerged its APP segment to form a separate business entity christened as Jubilant Industries Ltd (JIL). Given the difference in the inherent economics and business models of the two businesses, we believe this move will strategically benefit both entities (JLS and JIL) by enabling them to focus on pursuing growth opportunities in their respective industries. The demerger of agri and polymer products (APP) has improved margins and return ratios as the APP business is a 100% commodity business with legacy issues such as low margins (5-12%) and volatility. We believe the demerger will improve overall EBITDA margins and return ratios.

EBITDA margins to stabilise around 20% We expect EBIDTA margins to remain in the range of 20-21% in FY12, FY13E and FY14E despite some visible pricing pressure in PPES and LSC segments. This, we believe, will be on account of 1) incremental new capacity utilisation, 2) vertically integrated model and 3) growing contribution from generics. EBITDA margins for FY11 (16%) were compressed on account of re-negotiation of J&J contract under the CMO segment and, hence, were not strictly comparable. EBIDTA, in value terms, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 26.5% to | 1130 crore in FY11-14E.

Risk & concerns

Debt remains a key concern The company has a net debt of | 3685 crore as on December 31, 2011. Of this, rupee debt is | 1602 crore while foreign currency debt is US$458 million. The debt-equity ratio for FY11 stood at ~1.8x.

Price erosion/increase in competition in Methylprednisolone tablets may hurt dosage forms sales For the nine months ended December 2011, around 50% of generic solid dosage forms sales were derived from Methylprednisolone tablets. Beside JLS, four generic players are marketing the drug in the US market. Any price erosion or new generic player entrant can affect sales and profitability of the generic business.

Stringent regulatory requirements may impact cost competitiveness With the compliance and regulatory policies becoming more stringent globally in recent years (particularly in the regulated markets of the US and EU), JLS’ profitability could be adversely impacted due to higher testing and assessment related costs. Any unanticipated amendments to the regulatory norms may even necessitate withdrawal of existing products from the market.

High exposure to exchange rate fluctuations The company derives a large part of its revenues through exports and operations outside India (69% of total revenues in FY11). As per the management, the movement of | 1 vs. the dollar can impact the EBITDA by around | 15 crore on an annualised basis.

Persistent pricing pressure in leading segments Almost 50-55% of JLS’ sales (~50% from PPES and ~5% from LSC) are prone to pricing pressure on account of competitive scenario. Whatever steady margins JLS reports are only due to vertical integration. Delay in approvals for customer products to impact profitability Around 50% of revenues come from the CRAMS business. Any delay in regulatory approvals for its clients would impact our projections. Consolidation at client end may hamper future orders In the last two or three years, there have been heightened M&A activities across the globe in the pharma space. Consolidation at the client’s end may hamper future order flow if the acquirer has different priorities.

Valuation JLS has transformed itself from a pure chemical player to a one-stop pharma solution provider over a span of ~30 years. This ride, of late, has become bumpier on account of huge debts and worsened CRAMS fortune in FY10 and part of FY11. CRAMS constitutes ~50% of overall sales. With revival of CRAMS as is visible from the last few quarter’s performances, for JLS and other CRAMS players, we expect a substantial improvement in debt\equity, debt\EBITDA, interest coverage and asset turnover ratios as no major capex is planed for the next two or three years. The new launches and capacity additions will further strengthen the cash flow position. With multiple revenue points, the company will leverage on its ability to monetise opportunities in the entire Pyridine value chain. We expect JLS’ revenues, EBIDTA and PAT to grow at a CAGR of 16.8%, 26.5% and 24.4%, respectively. We have applied the EV/EBITDA methodology to value JLS on account of substantial debts on its books, which are here to stay for a sizable future. We have valued the stock at 5.5x FY14E EV/EBIDTA, which works out to ~50% discount to sector leader (on the basis of market cap) Divi’s Laboratories on account of 1) high leverage, 2) diversified Group interests and 3) Divi’s superior financials. Revival in the CRAMS space is, however, equally applicable to JLS. New product launches and incremental capacity utilisation will drive the growth and ease substantial balance sheet pressure. Our target price is | 209 based on 5.5x FY14E EV/ EBITDA. The STOCK is currently trading at 5.1 x FY14E EV/EBITDA giving ~15% upside. We recommend BUY with a lightweight bias.

CRAMS Industry dynamics Contract research and manufacturing services (CRAMS) is the term used for outsourcing of either research services or manufacturing activities (intermediates, APIs or formulations) to third party for cost plus mark-up. In case of formulations deal there may be some royalty sharing agreement. Contract manufacturing requires upfront investments for building up requisite facilities and is capital intensive in nature, thereby, requiring long term assured supply contracts in order to recoup investments. The global CRAMS market is estimated to be around ~US$75 billion in 2011. Contract manufacturing (CMO) consists of ~65% of the CRAMS market while the rest consists of contract research (CRO), which includes drug discovery, clinical trials (preclinical and clinical) and custom synthesis (CS). The Indian CRAMS market is estimated to be around ~US$4 billion, ~60% of which consists of CRM while the rest is CRO. Countries in Eastern Europe and Latin America have been the traditional markets for major part of outsourcing. For the last seven or eight years, the trend is gradually shifting to Asia and particularly countries like India, China, Taiwan and Singapore. Higher employee costs, drain of talented scientists and graduates, geo-political turmoil and environmental issues are some of the reasons for gradual shifting of CRAMS base out of these regions. Another reason cited by industry players is the shift of focus by established CRAMS players of the past such as BASF, Degussa (Evonik-Degussa), Lonza, etc. These companies started focusing on more lucrative businesses such as speciality chemicals, performance polymers, engineering thermoplastics, etc. On account of their size they earned better bargaining powers vis-à-vis the innovator. Consider the case of BASF, whose turnover for CY10 stood at ~US$90 billion, higher than any Tier 1 Pharma MNC. Although the potential for Indian CRAMS players remain positive, they faced tough times during FY10 and the first half of FY11. The financial meltdown in 2008-09 took a toll on global pharma MNCs as well and they started inventory rationalisation by aggressive de-stocking, the effect of which was felt in FY10. Industry players have indicated that the de-stocking exercise of their clients is more or less over, the effect of which was visible in the last two quarters. Going ahead, we expect most of the MNC clients to remain confined to JIT inventory procurement. This move, on the one hand, will facilitate better inventory management. On the other hand, only players with established deep rooted relationships with clients will survive in the long run. This, in fact, will create high entry barriers. The global pharma outsourcing market grew at ~14% CAGR from US$44 billion in FY07 to US$75 billion in FY11. Fuelled by the mounting healthcare costs in developed economies and decreasing profitability of pharma companies (due to patent expiry of several blockbuster drugs), the outsourcing trend is likely to continue if we take into account drugs worth US$97 billion are expected to go off patent in 2011-15 in the US compared to USS$73 billion during 2006-10 forcing innovators to look for various alternatives such as, cost control and introduction of generics to their portfolio.

Most of the innovators are also bracing for 2015-2020 in which they are planning aggressive product launches to make good for the lost market during the patent meltdown. Innovator companies are likely to outsource more as they focus on their core competencies of molecular R&D and brand building. Pressure due to declining R&D productivity, increased generic competition, patent expiries, increasing cost of drug development and fewer blockbuster drugs is likely to force them to outsource more in the coming years. A large portion of this outsourcing business is likely to be sourced from Asia (mainly India and China). India especially is fast gaining a reputation as a preferred destination for outsourcing pharmaceutical product manufacturing and R&D services due to factors such as 1) highest number of USFDA approved facilities out side US, 2) lower setting up costs for a regulatory compliant plant (40-50% of setting up cost in the west), 3) vast talent pool of chemistry/pharmacy graduates and doctorates, 4) labour cost arbitrage as these qualified technocrats cost just 50-60% of the cost structure in advanced markets, 5) higher share of regulatory filing (DMFs as well as ANDAs) and lastly 6) improved adherence to the IP regime post signing the TRIPS agreement. In spite of all these favourable factors, India’s share in the global outsourcing market remains low at ~5% in FY11 although it has improved from 2.5% in FY07.

Dynamics of CRO industry The CRO business is slowly picking up as MNC innovators are bracing themselves for the post patent 2015-2020 scenario by which time they are planning new molecule launches. India and China are emerging as major destinations for high quality-low cost R&D services. Generally, the innovators outsource from lead identification stage to Phase IIb stage of drug discovery process. Post Phase IIb stage, they try to develop the molecules on there own. In recent years, big players have preferred to source services from contract research organisations on a full services basis for their clinical development needs. Many of them are looking at a functional outsourcing approach under which they contract with a single provider to deliver single or limited services in support of all their clinical trials. Generally, the sponsor companies outsource full service to CROs when they lack adequate internal resources for the proper conduct of the clinical trials. Functional services are generally outsourced to niche service provider in case of non-clinical studies when they lack in-house staff.

Glossary Pyridine, a basic organic chemical, is a versatile building block and a solvent in agrochemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. It is completely soluble in water, alcohol, ether and benzene. It acts as a scavenger and can catalyse reactions. Initially Pyridines were isolated from coal tars from coking operations. Currently, synthetic processes account for the majority of world production of pyridines. The most common synthetic processes for production of pyridines involve vapour-phase fluid bed reactions of acetaldehyde and ammonia, with or without formaldehyde. Producers can use the same equipment and catalysts to produce the mix of pyridine/beta-picoline or alpha-picoline /gamma-picoline mixtures by selecting raw materials. Changing catalysts and reaction conditions influences the ratio of products formed. The pyridine ring occurs in many important compounds, including azines and the vitamins niacin and pyridoxal. Pyridine is used as a precursor to agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals and is also an important solvent and reagent. Pyridine is added to ethanol to make it unsuitable for drinking. It is used in the in vitro synthesis of DNA, in the synthesis of sulfapyridine (a drug against bacterial and viral infections), antihistaminic drugs tripelennamine and mepyramine, as well as water repellents, bactericides and herbicides. Some chemical compounds, although not synthesised from pyridine, contain its ring structure. They include B Vitamins niacin and pyridoxal, an anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid, nicotine and other nitrogen-containing plant products. Acetyl is a functional group that contains a methyl group single-bonded to a carbonyl. The carbonyl centre of an acyl radical has one non-bonded electron with which it forms a chemical bond to the remainder R of the molecule. Acetylated organic molecules exhibit increased ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Acetylation helps a given drug reach the brain more quickly, making the drug's effects more intense and increasing the effectiveness of a given dose. The acetyl group in acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) enhances its effectiveness relative to the natural anti-inflammatant salicylic acid. In similar manner, acetylation converts the natural painkiller morphine into the far more potent heroin. Vinyl acetate is an organic compound. A colourless liquid with a pungent odour, it is the precursor to polyvinyl acetate, an important polymer in industry. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is a derivative of Pyridine.
