OPErATiONS
The Company continued to be the leader amongst the pharmaceutical
companies from India with consolidated global sales of Rs. 122,529
million against Rs. 99,700 million in the previous year registering a
growth of 23%. Proft before exceptional items and tax stood at Rs.
14,721 million against a loss of Rs. 10,480 million in the previous
year. Proft after tax stood at Rs. 9,228 million as against a loss of
Rs. 28,997 million in the previous year despite the challenges in some
of the major markets and foreign exchange impact due to depreciation of
the Rupee against major currencies. However, in the standalone
accounts, the Company incurred a loss of Rs. 1,623 million primarily
due to foreign exchange impact on account of depreciation of the Rupee
against major currencies, impairment of investments in subsidiaries and
recall of Atorvastatin in the U.S.A.
In April 2012, the Company launched India's frst new drug, SynriamTM, a
new age anti-malarial for the treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium
falciparum malaria in adults, thereby opening a new chapter in the
history of Research & Development in India.
During the second half of the year, the Company made a voluntary recall
of Atorvastatin tablets in the U.S.A. due to the potential presence of
a very small foreign matter. Due to this, the Company had to write off
the inventory which has impacted the proftability of the Company.
In continuation of signing of the Consent Decree with the USFDA, the
Company is in the fnal stage of settlement with the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) to resolve civil and criminal liabilities.
The Company continues to maintain strategic focus on the 'branded'
markets, improvement in the product mix, capitalizing product level
opportunities for which regulatory approvals have been received,
product rationalization, greater marketing synergies and cost-effciency
throughout the organization.
DiViDEND
In view of the loss in the standalone accounts, no dividend has been
proposed for the year ended December 31, 2012.
