EXECUTIVE COMMENTARY:

PERFORMANCE REVIEW: Q4FY19

Biocon's Total Revenue for Q4FY19 at Rs 1,557 Crore grew by 26% year-on-year (YoY) with Revenue from Operations at Rs 1,529 Crore increasing by 31%.
EBITDA grew 43% YoY at Rs 431 Crore, with an EBITDA margin of 28% for Q4FY19. Core EBITDA margin for Q4FY19 (net of licensing, impact of forex and R&D) stood at 34%.
Net Profit for the quarter jumped 64% YoY to Rs 214 Crore, which represents a Net Profit margin of 14%.
Net R&D expenses for the quarter increased 81% to Rs 92 Crore while Gross R&D expenses stood at Rs 166 Crore, corresponding to 17% of our revenue (excluding Syngene).

Business Segment Review: Q4FV19

The Q4FY19 revenue growth was largely led by a robust performance by Biologics and Research Services, supported by a double digit growth in Small Molecules. The Biologics segment revenue grew 87% to Rs 451 Crore driven by strong sales of our biosimilars Pegfilgrastim and Trastuzumab in developed and emerging markets. Ogivri® (biosimilar Trastuzumab) was launched by our partner Mylan in Europe in Q4. We also launched our biosimilarTrastuzumab in a few more emerging markets this quarter. The product continues to gain traction in key markets of Latin America and AFMET regions.

The Small Molecules business reported a growth of 11% led by a robust performance by Generic Formulations and steady sales of APis. The strong performance of Generic Formulations was driven by increased traction in Statins sales in the U.S.

The Branded Formulations business, which includes sales in India and UAE, was adversely impacted due to headwinds in UAE. However, the business in India reported a strong performance led by double-digit growth in Metabolics, Critical Care, Immunotherapy and Market Access divisions.

Research Services reported a robust growth of 30% YoY with revenue at Rs 534 Crore on account of sustained growth in the Discovery and Development Services segments. On a standalone basis Syngene crossed the Rs 500 Crore Revenue milestone with a Net Profit milestone of Rs 100 Crore in Q4.

During the quarter, Syngene and the Government of India's Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) collaborated to set up a Centre for Advanced Protein Studies (CAPS) .. The 2000 sq. ft. centre at Syngene's Bengaluru Campus hosts a state-of-the-art, GLP-accredited analytical laboratory which will be available to BIRAC-funded start-ups, SMEs/MMEs and academia in India at an affordable cost.

Business Segment Review: FY19

SMALL MOLECULES: APis & Generic Formulations

Small Molecules revenue at Rs 1, 773 Crore in FY19 reported a growth of 18% on the back of steady API sales in global markets and robust sales in the Generic Formulations business in the U.S.

Sales of our core APis including Statins & Immunosuppressants to customers in India, Latin America and Europe contributed significantly to the overall performance. Our Generic Formulations business in the U.S. recorded a multi-fold growth off a low base, in its first full year of commercial operations, reflecting the success of our vertical integration strategy in the Small Molecules business. We successfully commercialized Atorvastatin and Simvastatin formulations in the U.S. in FY19 and recorded market share gains in the previously launched Rosuvastatin formulations.

BIOLOGICS: Biosimilars & Novels

The Biologics segment was the strongest performing segment in FY19, reporting a stellar 97% revenue growth at Rs 1,517 Crore in FY19. It has been a landmark year for the biosimilars business with revenues doubling this year led by the launch of our key biosimilars in the U.S. and Europe and ramp up of sales in the emerging markets. Inclusive of inter-segment transfers, the Biologics business crossed the US$ 200 million revenue milestone in FY19.

The launch of Fulphila® (biosimilar Pegfilgrastim) in the U.S. by our partner Mylan contributed significantly to the Biologics segment's performance in FY19. Mylan also launched Semglee® (biosimilar Insulin Glargine) and Ogivri® (biosimilar Trastuzumab) in Europe along with the in-licensed biosimilar Adalimumab, where Biocon retains its economic interest.

Significant growth in biosimilars sales was reported from emerging markets in LATAM, APAC and MENA regions. Biocon-supplied products hold dominant shares for Trastuzumab, rh-lnsulin and Insulin Glargine in many of these markets.

Strong realizations on biosimilars sales in both developed and emerging markets led to the Profit Before Interest and Tax (PBIT) margin for the Biologics segment improving from -2% in FY18 to 26% in FY19.

In keeping with our commitment to make our biosimilars affordable and hence accessible to a large global population, our Biologics business addressed the needs of nearly 2 million patients in FY19.

Till end of FY19, three of our biosimilars have been commercialized in developed markets, viz., Pegfilgrastim in U.S., Trastuzumab in Europe and Insulin Glargine in Europe and Japan. Additionally, our Trastuzumab has marketing approvals in U.S. and Australia, Pegfilgrastim has approvals in EU, Canada and Australia, and Insulin Glargine has approval in Australia. The global development programs for biosimilar Bevacizumab and Insulin Aspart are progressing well in Phase Ill clinical studies.

Novel Biologics

ltolizumab: A Phase 1b/2 trial in acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) with our novel asset ltolizumab (EQOOl) was initiated by our partner Equillium, who has licensed our novel anti-COG monoclonal antibody for development in U.S. and Canada. Equillium has been awarded 'Fast

Track' and 'Orphan Drug' designations for the molecule in both prevention and treatment of aGVHD by the U.S. FDA.

We have incorporated Bicara Therapeutics based in Boston, U.S., as a wholly owned subsidiary of Biocon to focus on developing lmmuno-oncology assets.

BRANDED FORMULATIONS

In FY19, the Branded Formulations business reported growth of 7% at a revenue of Rs 656 Crore led by a strong performance by business in India which was offset by a decline in the UAE business.

The Metabolics, Nephrology, Critical Care and Market Access divisions were the key growth drivers for the Branded Formulations- India (BFI) business. The Top 10 brands in our BFI portfolio grew by 17% and accounted for 80% oftotal sales in FY19. As a specialty products company, 70% of our overall India business is now accounted for by biologics I biosimilars products. Key brands lnsugen® and Basalog® reported a combined sales of over Rs 200 Crore in FY19.

In UAE, business performance for the year was impacted by uncertainty in the local market including delays in product registrations with the local health authorities and repricing of branded generic products by the Ministry of Health.

On the positive side, we launched Canhera'M, as the first biosimilar Trastuzumab in UAE this year to enable affordable access to this therapy for breast cancer patients. Glaricon'M, our Insulin Glargine introduced earlier, is continuing to gain traction and along with some of the novel in-licensed products has improved Biocon's position in the Top 10 companies in the diabetes segment in UAE.

RESEARCH SERVICES- SVNGENE

During FY19, Research Services revenue grew 28% toRs 1,826 Crore driven by robust performances in both Discovery Services and Dedicated R&D Centre business. During the year, Syngene further expanded its customer base as well as extended its existing client relationships taking the total active client base to over 330. The expansion of ongoing strategic collaboration with Baxter Inc. led to the commissioning of additional infrastructure for Baxter.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a part of its Lake Revival Mission, Biocon Foundation has brought back to life the 35 acre dying Hebbagodi Lake in Bengaluru, using a 3- step eco-friendly bioremediation process and dedicated the lake to the community in FY19. The Project has won several awards including a place in the Limca Book of Records for introducing the largest artificial floating wetlands. Biocon Foundation has further expanded its initiative to take up the revival of Yarandahalli and Kammasandra Lakes in the same area.
