COMMENTARY
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Cipla is proud to announce a pleasing set of results for
the first six months of 2010. Cipla Medpro maintained its
current standing as the fourth largest pharmaceutical
company by Rand value for the 12 months to June 2010, and
managed to attain the third position for the month of June
2010. The evolution index (EV) for the 12 months was
112,1, which is the highest of the top 10 pharmaceutical
companies in South Africa, whilst an EV of 131,1 was
achieved for the month of June 2010 (IMS, June 2010).
The group`s headline earnings increased to R108,8 million
(2009: R68,6 million), a significant increase of 58,6%.
This translates into an increase of 57,7% to 24,6 cents
(2009: 15,6 cents) at the headline earnings per share
(HEPS) level, based on 442,1 million (2009: 440,0 million)
weighted average number of shares in issue for the 2010
interim period (before the effects of dilution are taken
into account).
The reconciliation to headline earnings includes the loss
on disposal of property, plant and equipment of R36 928
(2009: gain of R3 010), net of tax.
Earnings per share (EPS) improved by 57,7% to 24,6 cents
(2009: 15,6 cents). After adjusting for the full effect of
the interest rate swaps during the period, normalised HEPS
and EPS increased by 64,1% to 25,1 cents (2009: 15,3
cents).
Revenues grew by 28,6% to R714,3 million (2009: R555,4
million). Gross profit increased by 55,6% to R401,3
million (2009: R257,9 million), and the gross profit
margin improved to 56,2% from 46,4% for the comparative
period in 2009 (December 2009: 49,2%). This increase in
margin has been achieved due to the stronger Rand when
compared to the prior comparative period and a price
increase on over-the-counter (OTC) products that was
implemented in March 2010. Although Cipla only implemented
the price increase on the products subject to Single Exit
Price (SEP) regulations in June 2010, with the full effect
of this only materialising during the second half of the
year, the increase in the margin is also due to better
pricing and a more favourable product mix. The Cipla
Medpro division achieved a gross margin of 57,9% when
compared to 48,4% at 30 June 2009 and 50,7% for the full
2009 financial year.
Profit before financing costs and income tax for the
period is R194,7 million (2009: R117,3 million), an
increase of 65,9%. This increase was achieved by
controlling the increase in operating expenditure when
compared to the growth in the gross profit, and an
additional R4,2 million being earned from other income
when compared to the R5,7 million earned in the 2009
comparative period. The operating profit also includes
foreign exchange gains of R9,0 million (2009: R5,5
million).
The net finance costs increased to R34,6 million (2009:
R15,2 million) mainly due to:
swap settlements of R1,3 million (2009: R2,8 million
refund);
an increase of R1,1 million in interest on overdraft
facilities;
an increase of R1,8 million in interest on instalment
sale agreements; and
finance costs of R19,0 million qualifying for
capitalisation during the first six months of 2009 in
terms of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (2010: Rnil).
Finance income reduced to R0,5 million (2009: R3,4
million) due to no swap refund earned in 2010, when
compared to the R2,8 million refund in the prior
comparative period. Despite the increase in finance costs
the interest cover still remains at a satisfactory level
of 5,5 times (2009: 6,3 times).
After an improvement in the effective tax rate to 31,5%
(2009: 32,3%), profit after tax for the period of R109,7
million (2009: R69,1 million) was achieved. The effective
tax rate will continue to improve during the remainder of
2010 and into 2011 as we continue to settle the preference
shares voluntarily. The main factors resulting in the
effective tax rate being higher than the statutory tax
rate are:
non-deductible preference share interest of R7,5 million
(2009: R12,1 million);
non-deductible IFRS 2 Share-based Payment expenses of
R8,2 million (2009: R2,0 million); and
STC of R0,8 million (2009: R1,2 million).
When the effects of cash on hand are excluded,
interest-bearing borrowings decreased to R337,1 million
(2009: R365,4 million). At 30 June 2010 the group`s net
cash position was a positive R2,4 million - a pleasing
improvement from the overdrawn positions of R23,9 million
and R60,1 million at 30 June 2009 and 31 December 2009
respectively. The improvement in the cash position can be
attributed to the improved profitability of the business
and increased sales in 2010. Debtors days have improved to
67 days (31 December 2009: 66 days and 30 June 2009:
75 days), whilst creditors days have decreased to 166 days
(31 December 2009: 174 days and 30 June 2009: 187 days).
This decrease is attributable to Cipla Medpro taking
advantage of the strong Rand and settling some of the
inventory purchases earlier than the contractual terms of
180 days. Inventory days have increased marginally to
114 days (31 December 2009: 106 days and 30 June 2009:
97 days). This was as a consequence of the Transnet strike
action that resulted in delayed inventory being delivered
just before 30 June 2010.
Cash flows generated from operating activities are R121,2
million (2009: R1,9 million), after adjusting for the
non-cash flow effects of depreciation of R8,7 million
(2009: R4,0 million), IFRS 2 Share-based Payment expenses
of R8,2 million (2009: R2,0 million) and FEC gains of
R22,4 million (2009: FEC losses of R28,3 million).
Investing activities resulted in outflows of R40,9 million
(2009: R52,0 million) due to acquisitions of property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets. A net R17,7
million was utilised for financing activities (2009: R5,5
million), mainly for the settlement of R94,3 million of
the preference shares (R69,2 million of which was settled
voluntarily). This was offset by draw downs of R43,2
million on the Nedbank Limited loan facility and R33,4
million on the working capital and instalment sale
facilities at the factory.
We are pleased to announce our inaugural interim dividend
of five cents per share which equates to a dividend cover
of 4,8 times.
OPERATIONAL REVIEW
This business continues its growth and by June 2010 was
ranked fourth largest pharmaceutical company for the 12
months and third largest for the month of June 2010. Cipla
Medpro has an EV of 112 (Rands) and 109 (Units) (IMS, June
2010).
The total private pharmaceutical market grew by 10% in
Rands and 7% in units. Cipla Medpro`s performance
outstripped the market, growing by 24% in Rands and 16% in
units.
We remain focussed on growing our brands in both OTC and
SEP products. Our top three SEP brands contributed to
sales (12 months) of R170 million into the private sector
and still have huge growth potential. Lexamil is
performing at an EV of 140. Our top ten OTC products all
have EVs of over 100, with Airmune tracking to do
significant turnover in the next 12 months.
Our OTC business grew by 32% during the six month period.
Cipla Medpro launched Atolip (Atorvastatin) in June 2010
and it is our belief that Atolip will become our biggest
brand in the foreseeable future. We plan to launch two
significant products in the month of September, one of
which will be the first generic in a market dominated by
two products doing R250 million per annum in revenues.
The Cipla Vet (small animal) business grew by 58% to R9,8
million (2009: R6,2 million) and Cipla Agrimed (large
animal) grew by 46% to R25,7 million (2009: R17,6
million).
Whilst the manufacturing division (CMM) significantly
improved revenues in May and June 2010, it still posted a
loss for the six month period. We are cognisant of the
need to increase volume in CMM and as such we are
extremely excited to announce that we are in the process
of finalising an agreement with Cipla India, in terms of
which Cipla India will acquire a 25% shareholding in CMM,
for a nominal value. Pursuant to this, Cipla India will
provide additional volume and assist us in achieving World
Health Organisation (WHO) and Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) manufacturing approvals in the near future,
resulting in increased orders and business for our
factory. This will ensure better continuity, increased
capacity utilisation and further entrench the relationship
with Cipla India.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The board has remained stable and continues to function in
accordance with its approved charter.
AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE
The audit and risk committee functions in accordance with
a formal charter approved by the board and meets at least
four times a year to discharge its responsibilities. The
audit and risk committee is satisfied that the auditor was
independent of the group.
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED RESULTS
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting, and in accordance with the Companies
Act of South Africa.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
these consolidated financial statements are consistent
with those followed in the preparation of the group`s
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2009, except for the adoption of new/amended standards, as
applicable, which became effective during the interim
reporting period.
NEW VENTURES
Cipla Medpro has initiated two new divisions, Cipla
Consult (Pty) Limited and Cipla Nutrition (Pty) Limited,
during the period under review. Although small in their
start-up phase, these may lead to enhanced business
benefits in the future.
SHARE OPTIONS
On 25 March 2010, the board approved an ex gratia grant of
1 million share options to JS Smith, at a strike price of
531 cents per share.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On 30 July 2010, R25,3 million of the preference shares
were voluntarily redeemed, resulting in an outstanding
preference share liability of R74,7 million on this date.
The associated R0,6 million of preference share interest
was also settled on this date.
On 3 August 2010, Medpro Pharmaceutica (Pty) Limited drew
down an additional R25,0 million against its loan facility
from Nedbank Limited. The loan balance as of 3 August 2010
has increased to R93,2 million.
Except as disclosed above, the directors are not aware of
any other matter or circumstance which is material to the
financial affairs of the group, which has occurred between
30 June 2010 and the date of approval of the interim
financial statements, that has not been otherwise dealt
with in the group interim financial statements.
