Background Smruthi Organic Limited, manufacturer of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (APIs) was founded in 1989 by Mr Eaga Purushotham. The company manufactures API, fine chemicals and specialty chemicals, all in the same plant. The APIs manufactured by Smruthi are used for treatment of urinary tract infection, diabetes, hyper-tension, heart failure etc. Smruthi has two manufacturing plants in Sholapur. During FY11, the company received approval from US-FDA for both its units to manufacture APIs (the first approval for one plant was received in FY07). The company has taken an expansion project for manufacturing of Metformin Hydrochloride, expanding the capacity of production by 3,000MTPA to capitalize on the market demand for the product. Business overview Smruthi derives its revenues from contract manufacturing and self-manufactured product sales. Revenues from contract manufacturing contributed to 68% of total revenues in FY12 (52% in FY11) growing at a higher rate than product sales. The major cost for Smruthi is raw material cost, contributing to 85% of the total expenditure incurred by the company in FY12. Geographically, the domestic market continues to be the key contributor to the operating revenues of Smruthi Organics, with 78% of the total revenues being earned from the Indian market. However, the export market grew at a higher rate (59% in FY12 y-o-y), though on a small base; when compared to the domestic market (23% y-o-y). Strengths and growth drivers US-FDA and EU-GMP approved manufacturing facilities Stable increase in sales with a CAGR of 37.84% during FY08-FY12. Expansion into new geographical areas and incremental sales of Metformin Hydrochloride are expected to contribute to the growth in revenue. Risk and concerns Economic downturn in Europe, key export market for the company Competition from Chinese manufacturers Future strategy and expansion plans Smruthi Organic has its focus on expanding the markets of existing products in the short term to medium term. With expansion in capacity of Metformin Hydrochloride, the company is planning to target new customers. Expansion of export markets to Latin America and South East Asia Industry outlook The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry includes formulations, bulk drugs (APIs) and Contract Research and Manufacturing Services (CRAMS). The Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly looking at outsourcing manufacturing and R&D activities, thereby driving the growth of the CRAMS industry. API manufacturing is the largest contributor to the outsourcing market with 55% share. The pharmaceutical industry is regulated on patents, quality and price. Between FY05 and FY10, the Bulk Drug industry grew at a CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) of about 15%. The industry has been growing at a fast rate on the back of production of quality products at affordable prices. The export demand of the industry remains intact on account of increasing number of companies looking to outsource production of bulk drugs and higher penetration. The higher number of US-FDA approvals to manufacturing units in India when compared to the other global players gives an advantage to the Indian companies. The Drug Master Filings (DMH) has also been increasing over the period. Government maintains considerable control over the manufacturing of bulk drugs along with some regulations on pricing and other safety aspects. The major competitor for the Indian bulk drug manufacturers are the Chinese companies whose technological advancement enable them to supply bulk drugs at low cost. This affects the margins of the Indian companies. 2 Initiative of the BSE Investors Protection Fund
