About The Report

At Lupin, we are committed to Building Better Health and improve lives in the communities we serve. This mission in many ways forms the core of our existence. As a leading pharmaceutical company, we are driven by delivering value for all our stakeholders. We adopted and transitioned this philosophy into the Integrated Reporting format in FY21. Continuing on the same lines to communicate value to all our stakeholders, it gives us immense pride to present Lupin's second Integrated Report for FY22.

Our Integrated Report for FY22 provides details on our performance across the six capitals – Financial, Intellectual, Manufacturing, Social & Relationship, Human and Natural Capital. It also reflects how we leverage these capitals to create long term value for all our stakeholders.

Reporting Guidelines

Lupin's Integrated Report FY22 is aligned to the principles and guidelines of the International Integrated Reporting Council's (IIRC) Integrated Reporting Framework, which was notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as a voluntary requirement for the top 500 listed companies in India in February 2017. Wherever essential, we have also relied upon the disclosure requirements of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) guidance for the Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals sector and the Key Performance Indicators prescribed by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. We believe that aligning with these frameworks for reporting our non-financial performance provides a balanced and holistic view to our shareholders and other stakeholders regarding our ambitions around Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) management, targets and their impact.

Through this report, we present the value we bring to the healthcare industry as well as our role in empowering and uplifting society. Additionally, this report also adheres to the voluntary disclosure requirements of the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) mandate of SEBI in FY22, aligned to the nine principles of the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC), thereby replacing the previous Business Responsibility Report (BRR) format.

The financial and statutory information including the Director's Report, Corporate Governance Report and the Management Discussion are as per the regulatory requirements mandated by the Companies Act, 2013, Indian Accounting Standards, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the Secretarial Standards and other applicable laws.

Report Boundary and Scope

The Integrated Report for FY22 describes the financial and non-financial performance of Lupin's operations from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022. The scope of this report encompasses Lupin, its subsidiaries and operational units across the globe.

Further, this report sheds light on aspects which influence Lupin's ability to create value. The information pertaining to the operational units has been showcased, wherever appropriate, to provide a holistic view of the company's operational excellence and efficiency.

Lupin's Annual Report for FY22 was approved by our Board on May 18, 2022.

Our Core Elements to Enhance Value Creation

We understand that all our actions and operations should create the utmost value for our stakeholders. Through the six capitals, this Integrated Report demonstrates our overall performance. It draws upon inputs from the stakeholder engagement and governance framework that regulate the conduct of our business.

Approach to Materiality: This report details information on issues that we have identified as material and relevant to our business that have the potential to impact our commitment to deliver and drive value. For this reporting year, we have identified 17 material topics of priority and have categorized them across our six capitals. These material topics have been identified through a formal consultative process with key internal and external stakeholders.

Responsibility Statement: Lupin firmly believes that this Integrated Report is a fair representation of our company's financial, non-financial, sustainability and operational performance for the reporting year FY22. The Board acknowledges that the contents of this report have been assimilated in consultation with various functions of the business and have been developed under the guidance of senior management and functional heads.

Building Better Health

Chairman's Letter

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to present to you Lupin's FY22 Integrated Report.

Each year begins with new aspirations and a positive outlook for the future. As we started FY22, coming out of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, amidst all the wins and challenges that we had seen, we knew that we had done our part towards our long-term goal of becoming leaders in the products, therapies and markets in which we operate. In FY22, through new lockdowns, new variants, and multiple other challenges, we as a Company and a team remained resilient and agile – continuing to deliver on our mission and focused on our goals.

On the business front, Lupin's India business has consistently outperformed the Indian pharma market as the business continues to expand its presence in chronic therapies. We have grown our market share in key therapy areas of interest including Respiratory, Diabetes, Cardiology and Gastrointestinal diseases. In addition, this year we launched Lupin Diagnostics – this launch aligns with our commitment to Building Better Health, and places Lupin on the path towards becoming a holistic healthcare player.

Our U.S. business encountered headwinds from rising competition, declining prices and input cost pressures. Despite this, we maintained our ranking as the third-largest company in the U.S. in terms of prescriptions, increasing volumes by 9.71%. We remained focused on the ramp-up of our inhalation business while continuing to work towards achieving market leadership in our key therapy areas.

This year, we invested 8.7% of sales into Research and Development. Our key wins included receiving USD 50 Mn for achieving key NCE milestones on our partnered MEK program, 19 ANDA and 8 DMF filings, as well as the approval of important global institution sale products.

Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility runs deep in Lupin. While we have focused on improving "Livelihoods" in our villages of focus for over three decades, with the launch of our new "Lives" pillar, our CSR initiatives will be now be equally focused on diseases of national importance, in line with the WHO framework for healthcare delivery. Our emphasis is on high impact programs in the areas of Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, COPD and Asthma, all of which are also in line with Lupin's therapeutic expertise.

Within this report, we have placed strong emphasis on the implementation of Environmental Social Governance initiatives. The report summarizes our present position on several important issues for us as an organization and is reflective of our goals and targets going forward. On the Governance front we are committed to the highest ethical and responsibility standards and practices.

One of Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta's favorite quotes was, "Whatever the human mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve". It is of great pride to me that every Lupinytt has displayed this entrepreneurial spirit and is committed to together taking our great legacy ahead.

Warm regards,

Manju D. Gupta Chairman

The Power of People, Leadership and Innovation

Vice-Chairman's Letter

Dear Shareholders,

Over the last two years, we have seen the COVID pandemic not only as a hurdle to be overcome but also as an opportunity to build on our adaptability and resilience. Through this, we look forward to an enriching and transformational journey that will lead to long-term growth through leveraging our strong foundation and global reach, evolving our generics business and expanding our product portfolio.

It was gratifying to see several promising developments in the past fiscal such as the satisfactory inspectional classification for our Goa plant by US FDA, the launch of Lupin Diagnostics, the acquisition of the Anglo-French Drugs & Industries Ltd brand portfolio in India as well as the acquisition of Southern Cross Pharma in Australia.

On the manufacturing front, we did well to serve our customers through maintaining continuity of supplies despite multiple COVID-19 waves through the year. Our digital transformation initiative at our manufacturing sites, Accelerated Digital & Analytics Performance Transformation (ADAPT), is enabling us to leverage next-gen technologies such as advanced analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver top-notch quality, productivity and costefficiencies.

Whilst the business challenges in the U.S. in the form of greater competition continue to erode prices for generic products, we are working on several initiatives to mitigate this impact and lay the foundation for a more resilient future. We have also had success as in now achieving two milestones for our MEK inhibitor (New Molecular Entity) program that we had outlicensed, and good growth in India and other markets, which are reflective of the talent and underlying commitment of our people. In India, especially the chronic side of the business, we continue to grow faster than the market.

Coupled with the focus on high growth markets, I am convinced that the company's evolution as a leading complex generics player will position us very differently.

We are working on several initiatives across the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) space and are committed to rapid progress: for instance, through the Environment lens, we aim to reduce our environmental impact by working with our suppliers to lower their environmental footprint. Further, we are committed to making our company a great place to work for our employees, as we are to fair dealings with other stakeholders and communities. On the Governance front, we are reaffirming our commitment to uphold the highest ethical and responsible standards in everything we do, with an effective management framework in place to ensure that we stay on track.

We stand by DBG's vision and his commitment to progress through empowering our people, responsible leadership, and focus on innovation even as we evolve in a transforming world.

Kamal Sharma Vice-Chairman

The company's evolution as a leading complex generics player will position us very differently.

Reinforcing Our Legacy of Building Better Health

CEO & MD's Letter

Dear Shareholders,

We are delighted to present our Integrated Report for FY22, showcasing our wins, challenges, and the promise of what the future holds in store.

Our founder, Dr. Desh Bandhu Gupta (DBG), laid the foundation for the ethos that has remained the driving force at Lupin. This has ensured resilience and positive momentum despite challenges and roadblocks.

We are currently focused on a three-pronged strategy to achieve our organizational objectives:

  • Building on the strong foundation in our core business and consolidating our geographic footprint
  • Evolving our generics business to complex generics and maximizing our generics portfolio globally to further the cause of affordable medicines
  • Focusing on cost reduction/rationalization initiatives to strengthen our foundation and drive efficiencies for the future

During the year, we have made good progress and achieved good business outcomes in several geographies like India, Australia, the Philippines, Canada, Mexico and Germany; but at the same time, we continued to encounter substantial headwinds in our U.S. and API businesses. On the U.S. front, business conditions continue to be tough with intensifying competition, eroding margins and a rapidly commoditizing oral solid dosage business. We have however started to realize benefits of complex platforms like inhalation in the U.S., which constituted over 25% of our revenues during the year. Likewise, in the aftermath of the pandemic, demand for acute therapy products especially cephalosporins receded considerably, affecting the performance of our API business.

In India, Lupin continues to evolve faster than the market with the business growing 1.2 times the market growth rate. Our Chronic segments (respiratory, cardiology and diabetes) which are nearly 65% of our India business, registered strong double-digit growth and grew faster than the top 3 players in the Indian market. India formulation sales for FY22 were INR 60,042 Mn, up 13.9% as compared to INR 52,712 Mn in FY21; and accounted for 38% of Lupin's global sales.

Even as we expanded our product portfolio into underrepresented therapies, we continued to focus on cardiology, diabetes, and respiratory to further consolidate on and grow faster than the market in these therapeutic areas. Following the successful acquisition of the Anglo-French brand portfolio, we are also enhancing our presence in the Nutraceuticals/Vitamins space. In FY22, our India OTC business surpassed the INR 100 crore milestone in revenues, registering a growth of 17%.

Keeping our patient's holistic healthcare needs in mind, we have also expanded into the field of Diagnostics. We believe that this would be synergistic to our existing India business, providing doctors broader solutions for the patients we serve. The Diagnostics arena is very fragmented, and we believe that there is tremendous long-term potential for a trusted, quality play in this field.

Lupin continues to be the 3rd largest pharmaceutical player in both the U.S. generic market and U.S. total market by prescriptions (IQVIA MAT March 2022). Our North America sales for FY22 were INR 57,556 Mn compared to INR 55,520 Mn in FY21; and accounted for 36% of Lupin's global sales. This year, our current U.S. portfolio, largely dominated by oral solids, came under significant pricing pressure. We have in recent times taken several initiatives to optimize costs. These measures are being further enhanced with renewed vigor across the entire value chain to rationalize our overall cost structure and restore the health of our U.S. business. In complex generics that are a crucial part of our future growth, we made significant progress in Inhalation with Albuterol recording 20% generic market share and successful launch of Brovana generic.

With our pipeline evolving to more complex generics across inhalation, injectables and biosimilars, we believe that we are well positioned to drive growth while strengthening our position as a trusted, quality organization serving the cause of affordable medicines.

Our EMEA sales for FY22 were up 6.3% to INR 13,592 Mn as compared with FY21. NaMuscla®, the first licensed medicine to treat symptomatic myotonia in adult non-dystrophic myotonia patients continues to be a growth driver. In addition, we entered into alliances for Fostair Gx and Tiotropium, ensuring that we have complete regional commercial coverage to maximize our inhalation portfolio across Europe. In the U.K., the ramp-up of Luforbec has continued, while we increase our focus on the delivery of the future pipeline to ensure continued success.

In our Growth Markets, the impact of COVID was felt most sharply in Brazil. Philippines recovered sharply after eroding a fair bit in the past year and is poised for greater growth in the future.

In Australia, we completed the acquisition of Southern Cross Pharma; this will materially grow our presence in the Australian market. In Canada, we continue to deliver strong performance, driven by our lead brand Zaxine, as well as our growing internal generics portfolio.

In FY22, we closed an alliance with Foncoo Pharmaceutical Co. in China to commercialize our CNS medications, allowing us to continue our mission of offering affordable and accessible healthcare to the world.

From a pipeline perspective, we continue to evolve our complex generics platforms and build a truly valuable portfolio of products catering to markets across the world. On the Inhalation front we have already seen the benefit of generic Albuterol MDI and the Brovana authorized generic in the U.S., both contributing meaningfully to revenues and the bottom line. We are making steady progressing on our next major U.S. inhalation introduction with Tiotropium DPI, as well as making progress on other pipeline programs. During the year, we made progress on Respimat with the TTP partnership that has given us access to this complex inhalation platform. Pipeline products, such as biosimilar Ranibizumab and Aflibercept are progressing well. Our NCE efforts in oncology are going strong; during the year we received USD 50 Mn milestone from Boehringer Ingelheim under our partnership, we made progress on our NCE oncology pipeline and are well positioned to monetize/ partner the pipeline to bring much needed solutions for unmet medical needs.

Inflationary pressures for essential raw materials and intermediates further exacerbated some of the business challenges during the year. We hope to start seeing these pressures recede in FY23.

In FY22, we had three US FDA site reinspections and we are pleased to say that our Goa facility was upgraded to a satisfactory VAI status. This allows us to introduce new product from this site.

Our people are our biggest strength, and the Lupin team is committed to overcome the current challenges and emerge a stronger, more innovative and efficient organization.

Since 1988, the Lupin foundation has been striving to improve society by improving livelihoods, empowering rural people, creating employment opportunities, improving health and quality of life, and developing basic infrastructure. In FY22, on DBG's birth anniversary, we introduced the Lives pillar as part of our CSR focused on improving health in the communities we serve, and going forward, our activities will concentrate equally on Livelihood and Lives.

We are on the path of executing well on our strategy, anchored by portfolio evolution, differentiation and efficiency. We are committed to deliver long-term, sustainable growth in revenues and profitability. Carrying forward DBG's legacy, we are continuing his mission of universal, affordable, high-quality healthcare, and are committed to the cause of Building Better Health.

We are on the path of executing well on our strategy, anchored by portfolio evolution, differentiation and efficiency.

Materiality Assessment

As we continue our ESG journey to build a more resilient organization, we consider our stakeholders to be the key drivers of our long-term value creation. We are dependent on our stakeholders to carry out our business and achieve our vision of providing positive health outcomes for all – right from the procurement of our raw materials to the distribution of our product and services to our customers and to Health Care Professionals, and managing the end-of-life impact of our products. To embed our commitment in a manner that resonates across the organization, each business function is accountable to communicate and engage with their stakeholders on relevant E, S and G aspects on an ongoing basis. We strongly believe that periodic and transparent communication of our ESG performance and management of ESG issues enables us to maintain a two-way communication channel with our stakeholders, and aligns with our larger societal goals and purpose.

To reinforce the importance of stakeholder feedback for driving our strategies around sustainable growth, in FY22 we conducted a second materiality assessment with internal and external stakeholders to gain insights into their expectations, concerns, interests as well as the risks and opportunities which may impact our business and value chain.

The first step of this process was to analyze the relevant ESG topics for the Biotechnology and

Pharmaceutical Industry which enabled us to shortlist a set of sixty topics. After analyzing the macro business landscape and understanding the sector specific trends pertinent to our business and operating locations, forty topics were finalized for consideration. Aligned with the strategic objectives of the company, the topics were categorized under six themes.

These forty topics were shared with our internal and external stakeholders through a survey for their feedback on the relative priority of these ESG aspects with respect to our business operations globally. The stakeholders included representative samples of our employees, suppliers, business partners, customers, investors and NGOs.

The feedback from these stakeholders was critically reviewed by Senior Management at Lupin and the ESG aspects were assessed based on their potential impact upon our business and strategy over the short to medium-term. We identified seventeen topics to be of importance to both stakeholders and the business and these have now been included in our overall strategic decision-making process. These topics along with their relative prioritization by the stakeholders and the business management have been represented graphically here:

Our Strategy For Long-Term Value Creation

Strengthen leadership in key markets

We intend to extend our leadership in our key markets, India and the U.S., by expanding our range of product offerings.

In India, we aim to grow substantially ahead of the market via organic and in-organic means, in existing therapeutic areas and select new therapeutic areas. We continue to position ourselves as the partner of choice for innovative pharmaceutical companies. We remain focused on chronic therapies (64.7% of our domestic branded formulation revenues). Our three main chronic therapeutic areas are Cardiovascular, Diabetes and Respiratory, and we see substantial room for growth here. Further, we are expanding our offering in the Gynecology, Dermatology, Urology and Pediatric segments in India. In the U.S., while we continue to be the third largest generic company and a significant supplier of oral solid dosage forms, increasingly our focus is on first-to-market launches and shifting from oral solid dosage forms to complex generics and biosimilars.

For our established and stable businesses in key markets like Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Philippines and South Africa, our goal is to continue higher than industry growth and enhance profitability through market share gains, new launches and cost optimization.

Expand basket of Complex Generics and Biosimilars for U.S. and other markets

With continued pricing and competitive pressure on oral solids, we believe that it is critical to expand our basket of firstto-market opportunities and increase our offerings on complex dosage forms like injectables, inhalation and biosimilars. We have products under development targeting USD 70 Bn+ of market with 85% of this coming from such complex categories.

Inhalation: We are one of the few companies in the world to have successfully developed a Dry Powder Inhaler as well as a Metered Dose Inhaler, generic for the U.S. We have to date filed four major inhalation products in the U.S. and have several others under development. Increasingly, we see this as a global opportunity taking these and other inhalation products to meaningful markets like the EU and the U.K.

Injectables: We have seven complex injectables under development of which one has been filed and another one is in late clinical phase. We intend to accelerate our pace of filing, approval and launch of injectable products.

Biosimilars: We see biosimilars having a long runway with new launches and incremental penetration in key geographies like the U.S. and the EU. We have biosimilar Etanercept in Japan and Europe markets and see room for growth. We have filed biosimilar Pegfilgrastim in the U.S. and await approval. This is a key focus area and we have several biosimilar products in development.

Our facilities across the globe observe Good Manufacturing Practice standards and have accreditations from leading global regulatory authorities such as US FDA, U.K. MHRA, WHO and Japanese PMDA. We have a stated goal of being world-class in Quality and Compliance. We continue our efforts to further enhance our standards. While over 90% of our revenues come from sites that are in a satisfactory state of compliance, our Goa facility received satisfactory compliance status from the US FDA in FY22. We intend to carry this positive momentum to bring our other impacted sites into compliance.

Cost and network optimization

We aim to improve the efficiency and productivity of our R&D and manufacturing network by focusing on optimizing resources and spend as well as creating more operating leverage. We have been and continue to optimize on capital expenditure and R&D spends whilst at the same time leveraging our portfolio across markets with similar regulatory regimes to gain further efficiencies. In manufacturing, we have invested ahead of the curve in anticipation of increased demand and there is scope to optimize the manufacturing footprint and reduce costs, including idle time costs.

We continue to work on important initiatives to drive procurement efficiencies, develop alternate/new routes of synthesis and other process improvements. Overall, we continue to work on our cost base with emphasis on operating leverage across manpower productivity, sales force excellence, and creation of Centres of Excellence for support services. We have embarked on several digital initiatives across the entire value chain and believe that this approach would yield rich dividends in the years to come.

CFO's Letter

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me immense pleasure to share our second Integrated Report with you. At Lupin we are committed to the wellbeing of society at large and ensuring that we provide great quality products to our consumers at affordable prices. The last two years have been challenging for the world at large as a result of the pandemic — however, we at Lupin had to also contend with headwinds in some major parts of our business. These tough times have made us more resilient and more determined to overcome the challenges around us and come out much stronger as a company. There is now a lot more vigour and rigour behind initiatives to maximize growth, enhance profitability and reduce costs across the entire value chain – efforts that would make us a lot more efficient, agile and fit for purpose.

Last year, we articulated our initiatives around the six capitals that are embedded in the ESG framework. This year, we would be happy to share with you our progress on each of the pillars in the subsequent chapters. Our materiality assessment framework is in line with our philosophy to make the world a better place to live, and embraces steps to give back to nature, communities at large and most importantly to our various stakeholders. This document reflects the confidence that the organization has a strong value ethos and a governance framework that places emphasis on delivering strong financial performance whilst not losing sight of the larger goals brought out by the ESG framework.

Our Performance in FY22

We went past the INR 16,000 crore mark for the first time in five years thanks to strong business growth across key geographies.

However, both the topline and bottom line in the U.S. were marred by strong headwinds. Intensifying competition, double digit price erosion in our U.S. generics portfolio, inflationary pressures across all our inputs caused tremendous stress for the generics industry in general. The U.S. being a large part of our overall business, the impact on the overall business was quite high.

Amidst all of the negatives in the U.S., there were several remarkable developments — we continue to build a strong inhalation generics business with the ramp-up of Albuterol market share to 22.8% in Q4 FY22 and the launch of the Brovana authorized generic which together supported the U.S. business to register almost 3% growth.

The India business continues to shape our growth story in many ways. We maintained our 6th rank2 in the India Pharma Market and improved our overall market share. With the re-opening of the economy, our sales force was able to better physically connect with the doctors and the trade. In the meantime, the pandemic had also enabled us to become more digitally savvy to provide a better customer experience.

Our materiality assessment framework is in line with our philosophy to make the world a better place to live, and embraces steps to give back to nature, communities at large and most importantly to our various stakeholders.

Business in Growth Markets was strong with robust performance across markets, especially in the Philippines and Australia. We acquired Southern Cross Pharma in Australia – a company with a portfolio of ~ 60 registered products. We expect to drive synergies through this acquisition and enhance Lupin's value proposition and market share in the Australian market.

In Europe, we continue to expand the specialty business with NaMuscla®. Launch of branded generic beclomethasone/formoterol – Luforbec® in the U.K. provided further fillip to our efforts to grow our global inhalation franchise. The South African business continues to do well led by growth in Cardiovascular, Central Nervous System and the OTC franchises.

In the aftermath of the pandemic and the concomitant slowdown of acute therapies across the globe, the API business had a very challenging year with very low offtake particularly in the area of Cephalosporin antibiotics. However, we believe that the worst is behind us and that we should be able to come back strong.

We were also subject to further pressures as a result of product recalls, penalties on failures to supply due to supply chain disruptions during the pandemic, a one-time settlement of claims on account of Glumetza, and impairment of our specialty business asset Solosec and certain IP from our Gavis stable in the U.S.. This impacted the overall results that the company posted for the year, but sets us up strongly going forward.

Manufacturing and Quality

Lupin has always been in the forefront of bringing quality products at affordable prices to the consumers. Our manufacturing facilities continue to be the fulcrum around which the entire value chain revolves. Continuous improvisation and optimization on the cost front is an important imperative. Our manufacturing footprint is indeed global, domiciled in 15 manufacturing sites spread across India, United States, Brazil and Mexico. The fact that several of our sites, Mandideep (Unit-2) and Pithampur (Unit-1) have won the Gold Medal in the National Awards for Manufacturing Competitiveness 2021 (NAMC) and received Special Award for Advanced Manufacturing Systems whilst our site at Dabhasa was awarded the Silver Award at India Green Manufacturing Challenge 2021-22, is reflective of our manufacturing prowess and environmentally friendly practices.

The travel restrictions imposed by several governments and the institutions themselves on employees inhibited audits of sites by FDA authorities. This in turn stymied approvals and impacted our ability to launch new products for the U.S. markets. With easing of travel restriction, we saw the resurgence of our sites getting audited during the year. Goa site which was under Official Action Indicated (OAI) for quite some time was upgraded to a satisfactory Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) classification basis the inspection in FY22 by the US FDA.

We embarked on a digital roadmap, ADAPT, for all manufacturing sites with a view to make our manufacturing operations best-in-class from an efficiency and quality perspective. The program aims to create a culture of sustainable cost optimization through digital monitoring of various parameters along the manufacturing value chain and uses data points and technology to ensure maximisation of throughput, optimisation of resource utilisation and ensuring delivery of "first time right batches".

Supply Chain Management

COVID-19 highlighted more than ever the need to have agile and adaptable supply chain operations. After the initial hiccups, post the pandemic, we have made significant progress in ensuring that the supply chain is geared to take any such challenges in the future. We made significant strides in our supply chain operations for the U.S. through the adoption of an Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process during the year. The IBP framework has brought in transparency of data, clear insights and identification of any existing/emerging gaps, enabling us to take right decisions to ensure that we maximize our ability to service the market and mitigate costs of Failure to Supply.

The inflationary environment was a dampener to our plans to optimize overall procurement costs and shore up margins. We have put ESG at the core of our operations and have initiated an ESG focused risk assessment for all our critical suppliers. This will enable us garner maximum transparency into our supplier's performance on environment, social & governance grounds, and allow us to take pointed action to meet the highest standards of sustainability. We continue to drive our focus on 'Project Inspire' to help us optimize on procurement costs and conversion costs.

Building for the Future

At Lupin, the consumer has always been at the center of our operations.

Safety of our operations and good health of our patients is of utmost importance to us. We believe that digital adoption will revolutionize healthcare through a thoughtful approach to data and design benefitting not just patients but health care providers as well.

In the same vein, we believe that there is an opportunity to fuse service and technology and serve patients interests better through diagnostic services. Whilst not being the dominant theme for our India formulations business, it is an important service offering in India. Given the immense possibilities for healthcare related services in India, we see this as an important growth engine for the future and is in line with our ethos of patient-centric healthcare.

We are hopeful that given our preparation levels, our manufacturing sites in India would find acceptance from the regulators and move to VAI status in FY23. This would bring in its wake long awaited approvals for select ANDAs submitted in the past. Along with the complex generic pipeline submissions, this would position the company very strongly in the near future.

The Road Ahead

As we rebuild the health of the U.S. business and sustain strong growth momentum in other parts, we expect that we would be able to regain growth from the second half of FY23. The launch of Spiriva DPI generic and Pegfilgrastim in the U.S. in the second half of the year would be important developments. To sustain growth momentum over time, we have a suite of products in the complex generics space straddling inhalation, injectables and biosimilars. These products would be the mainstay of the U.S. business over time.

In India, we successfully completed the acquisition of the portfolio of brands from Anglo-French Drugs & Industries Limited in April 2022. The acquisition will strengthen our India Region Formulations (IRF) business by adding a fast-growing portfolio of vitamins, minerals, supplements and neurological products. This coupled with calibrated field force expansion would help us sustain growth rates above that of the industry. New businesses such as Lupin Diagnostics will also gather pace in the quarters to come.

On the API front, we are optimistic about the prospects of a bounce back for the acute therapy products led by the cephalosporins range. Equally, we are also excited by our entry into the large market for Anti-Retrovirals (ARVs) globally.

We will also be focused on strategic inorganic strokes to supplement the organic efforts. We remain confident that the growth from the newer pipeline along with our initiatives across all fronts – cost and footprint rationalization, productivity improvement, digital roadmaps would collectively contribute to robust and sustainable topline and the bottom line growth over the years.

As the world is gradually recovering from the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two years, we are still witnessing multiple black swan events as geopolitical tensions unravel in different regions. The focus is gradually shifting from ensuring safety of our work force to bringing normalcy in operations as employees revert to office from a work-from-home environment.

Our strategic vision embraces commitment to being a welldiversified pharma business built upon a strong foundation in generics, where we rank among the top 10 generics companies in the world with a portfolio of complex generics with relatively high entry barriers entailing lower risk of price erosion and thus mitigating volatility in earnings.

FY22 has been challenging with headwinds in the U.S. on account of accelerated price erosion, inflation in input materials, several one-off incidents such as product recalls, penalties for failure to supply, settlement of claims for Glumetza, and impairment of Solosec. The situation was further exacerbated by the decline in sale of acute therapy products relating to the API business. Amidst the flurry of setbacks, there were however notable achievements across our markets. Albuterol gained a distinctive market share of approximately 23% in the U.S. and is our top product by sales. Our India business registered growth of close to 14% in the past FY, primarily driven by growth in chronic therapy areas. In the Asia Pacific region, our acquisition of Southern Cross Pharma helps us further consolidate our position in the Australian market. Our growth in Europe has been on the back of the launch of Luforbec® (gFostair), and ramp up of NaMuscla® and Nepexto®.

Our capital allocation strategy had gone amiss in parts in the recent past with acquisitions unfortunately proving unsuccessful and spends on R&D not yielding the desired timely results. Our approach today is to be a lot more calibrated towards acquisitions as well as spend on R&D. The R&D spend pattern reflects a marked shift away from simple generics to more complex products straddling across inhalation, injectables and biosimilars. Further, we have drastically reduced the burn on Solosec®, our women's health franchise in the U.S. Whilst we retain our aspirations for building Specialty, the current focus is on bringing EBITDA margins back to a healthy core of over 20% in the near future. A robust optimization plan embracing several initiatives to reduce costs, rationalise portfolio spends, rationalise the footprint and divest areas that cause the burn is underway in order to achieve the same. We believe that there would be favourable outcomes coming in the wake of these programs over the next several quarters and would be clearly discernible from the second half of the current fiscal.

Financial Performance

Our management of financial capital focuses on enhancing shareholder value by maintaining a healthy bottom line, coupled with judicious investments in research and development, cost optimization, capital expenditure and modernization through adoption of new technologies and Information Technology (IT) systems. Whilst this has been the overarching theme for long, there have been setbacks in recent times to vitiate our ratios and metrics. The endeavour currently is to bring all of them back to historical levels whilst not losing sight of our mission of providing highquality, accessible and affordable healthcare for all.

Our financial performance during FY22 has been illustrated in the graphs below. A detailed account of our financial performance can be found in the standalone and consolidated financial statements, presented subsequently in the Integrated Report.

Cost Optimization

We believe that cost optimization and prudent capital allocation are key business imperatives. Creating a leaner and more efficient organization remains central to our approach and strategy. Over the past year, we have made significant strides in our cost optimization initiatives encompassing digitization, automation, and process-related improvements. These initiatives have

created a strong foundation and our cost optimization momentum will continue with increased rigor in the future.

At Lupin, we realise that becoming a digital-enabled organization is not an option but a necessity. It is crucial for business growth and provides an

opportunity to unlock even more potential by enabling us to scale, reach new customers, improve effectiveness of our business operations, and enable agility. In our quest to digitally transform operations at our manufacturing sites, we continue to evolve with Program ADAPT. Through this, we have initiated leveraging new technologies to not only optimize time, efforts and throughput, but also drive a paradigm shift in the way we approach our manufacturing processes and operations.

Enhancements in our Qlik Sense dashboards aim to achieve greater business transparency and enable data-driven decision making. This intervention has allowed us to leverage integrated data and meaningful insights in a user-friendly manner, which enables better decision making. For example, this has led to a 25% reduction in human efforts in our Australia team and has eliminated the need for manual intervention. We intend to extend these Qlik Sense dashboards to our other global locations such as EMEA and APAC and also leverage these Qlik Dashboards in our finance and supply chain modules.

In our operations in India, we have also leveraged Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to automate the process of matching & reconciliation of transactions aligned to GST GLs and GST records as per the Indirect Tax team and identification of matched and

unmatched transactions and clearing of matched transactions in SAP. We have been able to reduce the time spent by Lupin employees on this activity by 61%, thereby providing the opportunity to deploy our employees on other meaningful tasks and activities. The other area of deployment of RPA has been to streamline the process related to the preparation of Form 15 CA as per the Indian income Tax Act, 1961. By implementing the RPA based process to automate the preparation and drafting of these forms, we have saved time to the extent of at least 10 days each month, i.e. 120 days a year.

Introduced in FY20, Lupin's Project Inspire has led to incremental cost savings of approximately INR 1,000 Mn in FY22. We have been able to realise cost savings through improvement in procurement efficiency, optimization of batch output and improvement in yield and energy savings.

Some of the notable initiatives undertaken were to reduce energy consumption in fermentation of chilled water in Tarapur, installation of a back pressure turbine at our Ankleshwar plant, replacement of conventional motors with EC motors in AHU and ventilation in Tarapur, installation of LED lights across locations, and so on. We continue to explore process and product level interventions to further reduce our environment footprint and achieve cost savings.

Capital Expenditure

We invested INR 6,872 Mn for CAPEX requirements during the year towards newer capabilities, processes that increase efficiency and improve our environmental and social impact.

CAPEX Initiative

Environmental projects – installation of solar rooftops at multiple sites, air and water pollution control equipment and energy saving technologies

automation, digitization and environmental management initiatives. Investments made during the year are summarised below3:

We have stepped up our investment towards

Automation projects – all projects which lead to process improvement

Investment 83.0 (INR Mn)

Digitization projects – initiatives such as Electronic batch records and Labware LIMS

Tax Transparency

Lupin is committed to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and we are transparent in our reporting to tax authorities all relevant information that is complete and accurate, in a timely manner. As a policy, Lupin does not engage in aggressive and

contrived tax planning or tax structuring for the purpose of gaining tax advantages. Lupin's tax policy is to optimize the tax cost and avail tax incentives where available. We have strong governance mechanism to adhere to our tax

principles and manage tax risk in line with our tax risk management framework.

Lupin has zero tolerance towards tax evasion, or the facilitation of tax evasion, by itself or by its employees. Lupin maintains open and collaborative relationships with government and tax authorities worldwide. Where appropriate, Lupin seeks advance clearance from tax authorities on the proposed tax treatment of transactions, helping pre-empt future disputes. We are committed to the arm's length standard in transfer pricing and OECD guidelines for international tax matters. Our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is ultimately responsible for our overall tax position. The day-to-day management of tax is performed by the company's global corporate tax department. Tax impact on critical transactions is also discussed and reviewed by prominent senior legal counsels and reputed firms.

We monitor proposals and changes to tax incentives and regulations in the countries in which we operate to assess their impact on our business, and we actively participate in industry groups interacting with government representatives to support the development of effective tax systems that encourage innovation and growth. We also utilize available tax incentives and opportunities, such as Research and Development tax reliefs, in the spirit in which they were intended.

We have robust internal policies, processes, training, and compliance programmes to ensure we have alignment across our business and meet our tax obligations.

Lupin is committed to improving the care of patients with non-dystrophic myotonia (NDM), whose lives are affected by symptoms of myotonia. These efforts extend beyond facilitating access to NaMuscla (the only licensed antimyotonic available in the EU and U.K.).

As with many of the other 7,000 rare diseases, it often takes more than 10 years for people with NDM to receive a correct diagnosis. Consequently, lack of awareness and delayed diagnosis often limit access to people with the disease. Lupin strives for the following:

  • Data generation to understand the impact of myotonia symptoms on affected people and their caregivers through Myopath Survey and IMPACT survey (understanding how a patient is affected due to a lack of access to licensed myotonia treatment) and Orphan maintenance assessment report for NaMuscla (mexiletine hydrochloride)4 to understand the journey of pediatric patients with myotonic disorders from the first symptom(s) to diagnosis, treatment and management.
  • Developing print/electronic resources for healthcare professionals (HCPs) to support their patient engagement. This helps improve care once diagnosed through patient information booklets (explaining NDM and myotonia symptoms), HCPpatient discussion guide (supporting HCPs in explaining treatment being prescribed to improve patient compliance and adherence), Phenotype booklet (explaining the different types of NDMs in terms of phenotypes, symptoms, etc.), and Impact Differential Diagnosis (assisting HCPs in understanding the differential diagnosis of the different NDM's to shorten time to diagnosis).

Managing Intellectual Property

We are committed to enhancing our product portfolio by securing intellectual property rights on our innovations. The value of our patent portfolio is testament to this commitment. Lupin settled 15 patent litigations in the United States in FY22. In the European Patent Office, Lupin's Lacosamide patent was found valid in a postgrant opposition proceeding.

1008 Active Patents API, Formulation, NDDD, Biosimilar, Brand (~14% increase from previous FY)

61 Patents secured in FY22 (~69% increase from FY21)

3,950 Trade Marks registered (until March 2022)

19 ANDA filings during the FY22, including 7 FTFs (3 exclusive FTFs)

Filed 185 patent applications including 58 formulation, 20 API, 10 biotech, and 97 NDDD patent applications

Product Recalls and Quality Monitoring

Lupin's Quality SOPs elaborate the procedures for monitoring product quality and initiating recalls, where warranted. These are regularly updated as per the latest FDA guidelines. (https://www.fda.gov/ safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/ industry-guidance-recalls). These FDA guidelines describe the reasons which can trigger a recall and the timelines that need to be followed. Lupin takes actions proactively, often in an abundance of caution, to ensure that patient safety is not compromised.

The status of recalled batches is updated and monitored on a weekly basis, and the progress is reported to the regulatory coordinators, as required.

Novel Drug Discovery & Development

Lupin's Novel Drug Discovery and Development efforts continue to yield new and highly differentiated therapeutics in the areas of oncology, immunology, and metabolic diseases, with two promising agents currently undergoing human clinical trials.

Our oncology research focuses on approaches to treat patients based on specific gene mutations or alterations, regardless of cancer type. Lupin Oncology Inc. was incorporated to strengthen our commitment to successfully translate our drug discovery efforts into clinical trials and bring novel oncology products to market. Our strong oncology pipeline includes frontier approaches of exploiting immunology, synthetic lethality, epigenetic changes, and cancer metabolism. We are committed to successfully translating these R&D efforts from bench to bedside. This approach is tumor agnostic and aims to treat patients based on specific gene mutations/alterations regardless of cancer type.

Our partnerships with AbbVie and Boehringer Ingelheim are testament to the quality of our innovation. As part of our partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim, we are developing a clinical stage MEK inhibitor which is a RAS targeted therapy. According to the terms of our agreement, we have received USD 50 Mn by hitting key development milestones.

Biosimilar Research

Biosimilars are niche products that require substantial capital and revenue investment over an extended period of time before they can be brought to market.

Lupin's key markets for biosimilars include the United States, Europe and Japan, along with India and other emerging markets. We are one of the few Indian companies engaged in development of biosimilars, compliant to the most stringent quality standards, that would withstand regulatory scrutiny in developed as well as emerging markets.

We currently have nine molecules in various stages of development and commercialization.

Despite the technical complexity and regulatory/ IP challenges, we have achieved notable milestones and made significant progress towards the global development of biosimilars. We received market authorization and successfully commercialized biosimilar Etanercept (Nepexto®) in key EU markets with our marketing partner, Viatris. Etanercept is a complex fusion protein and Lupin is the only Indian company which has successfully made this product in-house. It is manufactured at our biotech site in Pune, which was inspected and approved by the European and Japanese authorities over the last few years. Lupin's Etanercept has also been commercialized in India, following prior approval from DCGI.

We continuously enhance our biosimilars portfolio by identifying and developing new products as well as leveraging our partnerships across the value chain.

Our pipeline includes:

  • Pegfilgrastim (Peg GCSF): We have reached a significant milestone with this product after submitting our BLA (Biological License Application) to the US FDA at the end of FY21. We now await US FDA approval for Peg GCSF. We also have a follow-on Peg GCSF On Body-Injector in advanced stages of development.
  • In the ophthalmic products category, the Ranibizumab Phase III clinical study in India was successfully completed and therapeutic equivalence to the reference product was proven, in terms of primary and secondary endpoints. The product launch in India is targeted in FY23. In parallel, a global Phase III study is being conducted with sites in India, EU and the U.S.. Lupin's in-house clinical development team has the capability to manage such global trials with diverse ethnic groups.
  • Aflibercept, another ophthalmic drug and complex fusion protein is under development and expected to cater to unmet medical needs in age-related macular degeneration. The Phase III clinical trial is expected to be initiated in FY23. Lupin is a strong proponent of government-industry partnerships and has received a prestigious grant from National Biopharma Mission (BIRAC) for development of this product.
  • Lupin has a basket of next generation mAbs, such as Denosumab, Pertuzumab, and Certolizumab under development that are expected to be in clinic soon.

Biosimilar Aflibercept: Poised to Enhance Patients' Access and Affordability

With the demand for treating age-related macular degeneration growing exponentially, Alfibercept is a promising biologic to be considered for biosimilar development. This addition will strengthen our biosimilar portfolio and complement the Ranibizumab Biosimilar that we intend to launch earlier.

This drug has proven to benefit patients with AMD and DME, however, the current cost of therapy is very high and unaffordable to the larger population of India. Through our development, we are poised to deliver a cost-effective biosimilar version, thereby enhancing patient access to the medicine and improving their quality of life. This biosimilar is expected to cost the patients more than 40% lesser compared with the current innovator price.

With the support and funding from BIRAC, we have fast-tracked this project and also receive timely guidance on the overall development. Through this project, we are well on the path to delivering a world-class Biosimilar to Indian patients at an affordable price.

Technology

We are driving digital transformation across our organization and integrating new technologies to protect our intellectual capital

The advent of new-age technologies has simplified the research process; however, they have also introduced newer ways in which information can be compromised and intellectual property thefts. To combat product piracy and counterfeiting, we design and implement effective IP strategies.

Information Security Management System

The Information Security Management System (ISMS), KAVACH, ensures effective security controls and safeguards, and promotes awareness regarding data security. KAVACH protects our information through a framework of policies, procedures, and guidelines. The Information Security Management Systems at our Head Office, Pune Research Park, manufacturing facilities at Biotech, Mandideep and Pithampur have been accredited with ISO/IEC 27001:2013 for Information Security. This certification list will be expanded to include our Ankleshwar and Vizag sites.

The ISO 27001:2013 standards specifies that IT systems undergo periodic security assessments at least once a year or on need basis to ensure that

known vulnerabilities are not exploited by threats. An annual ISO 27001:2013 internal and external audit is conducted and the results are shared with the Steering Committee.

We regularly create, update, and review relevant security policies and procedures as part of ISMS implementation. These policies and procedures are also periodically audited internally and externally. As part of our commitment to information security, we have implemented project "SHIELD" across all our global sites to provide information security assurance.

Security incidents can be reported to kavach@lupin. com and [email protected]

ZERO consumer complaints have been received regarding data privacy and cybersecurity aspects in FY22

Information Security (IS) Incident Management Procedure

Policies

Lupin has established a policy that categorizes data as Confidential, Internal and Public.

We have implemented Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Active Directory (AD) with conditional access, Zero Trust policy for remote access, Mobile Device Management, and more. A comprehensive perimeter architecture is implemented, including Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), Domain Name System (DNS) Security, Web Application Firewall (WAF), Advanced Threat Protection, and Secure Internet and Email Gateway.

Along with our threat intelligence team, we have a Security Incident Event Management (SIEM) and Security Operations Center (SOC) platform for monitoring cybersecurity threats.

Training

The ISMS policies have been published on Lupin's intranet, and we share the guidelines via multiple security sessions and emails. We also conduct regular trainings throughout the year in the following ways:

Induction sessions have been mandated by HR for all new employees

Security Awareness training and Acceptable Usage Policy

A minimum passing score of 80% is required for annual training and assessment

Governance

Lupin has defined a Security Organization Structure led by the Steering Committee. The Committee is headed by a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and consists of the CIO, CISO, CSO and a representative from HR.

Together with the CIO, the CISO apprises senior management on the security position of Lupin periodically through various forums, such as the Steering Committee, the Risk Committee, and the Audit Committee.

Others

Cybersecurity incidents and breaches of information technology security are covered by our insurance policy. This may include fraudulent acts by employees, cyber extortion costs, business interruption losses, civil fines and penalties, privacy notification and forensic investigation costs, crisis management costs, disclosure liability/media liability, network disruption caused by computer attacks, and data loss liability.

Digital innovation

Lupin uses Information Technology to improve its performance across internal functions, as follows:

Finance Synergies:

  • Integrating systems such as Open Text solution enables multiple departments to centrally manage an invoice's life cycle. With this, users can approve, check the status, and clarify any issues relating to invoices and payments
  • Concur tool for employee travel, stay and reimbursements has been implemented with direct posting to SAP
  • Migration to SAP S4HANA simplifies the financial transaction process and enhances the performance of the system

Procurement Synergies:

The new Blockchain application "Schrocken" enables multiple Lupin internal and external vendor teams to transact in one platform for CMO operations. As a result, this platform connects directly to their respective ERP systems and updates them, reducing the need to re-enter the transactions in the respective ERP systems.

Learning and Development Initiatives for R&D Personnel

At Lupin, we believe in investing in our employees' growth and development. We are implementing several learning and development initiatives across our R&D centers, which are outlined below:

INFLUENCE

Lupin Leadership Competencies with the Lupin Values at their core are the foundation of all that we do at Lupin. The Influence Program is a competency-based immersion program designed to build the behavioral competencies required to perform optimally. Each of the byte sized modules corresponds to a competency or a set of competencies that are critical to the success of a role (e.g., Individual Contributor or People Manager).

Gurukul

With Gurukul, R&D professionals are able to stay up to date on the latest scientific developments. In this program, an individual is nominated every fortnight to present on a topic relevant to the functional or futuristic competency needs of the department. As a result, every employee, regardless of grade or experience, has the opportunity to present to the entire team, thus developing both public speaking skills and competencies that are essential for a futureready organization. In FY22, a total of 162 knowledge sharing sessions were conducted.

IGNITE

IGNITE is a Management Development program. Lupin's IGNITERs are critical to the growth engine of the company - its people, processes, and business. In the IGNITE program, senior managers are trained in essential skills to help them engage in meaningful pursuits with their teams in order to accelerate professional and personal success.

IDP | Individual Development Plan

IDP focuses on the individual development of employees. IDP is the result of a collaborative discussion between the employee and the reporting manager. This program focuses on the development of skills and competencies that our employees should enhance in order to be able to perform optimally and to achieve overall professional development.

iMpact

The iMpact program is a mentoring program, specially designed for women employees at Lupin. As a twopronged initiative, iMpact focuses on developing the leadership skills of senior leaders who will mentor their peers, as well as providing a platform for female mentees to participate in development conversations and seek support and guidance.

Academic and Research Partnership — ASCENT

Lupin is a knowledge and science driven company, so obtaining a PhD (doctoral degree) is one of the highest qualifications which our employees aspire to. As part of the ASCENT program, we aim to enable and support this aspiration for our scientists in R&D. ASCENT is facilitated in partnership with the Manipal Academy of Higher Education and Symbiosis – both of which are premier universities in the fields of Scientific and Management studies. During the PhD program, Lupin provides complete monetary and professional support to selected personnel. The company facilitates timely coordination and review with appropriate guides (internal and external), submission of the thesis, and offers guidance from experts throughout the duration of the PhD. The minimum program duration is four years.

Enabling Digital Agility

Lupin has been at the forefront of implementing information technology platforms and software across the entire value function and functional areas. In keeping with this spirit, we embarked on a well-concerted and holistic Digital Transformation journey in 2021 embracing various parts of Industry 4.0.

We created a team of data engineers and data scientists to drive this transformation by leveraging the power of data and digital technologies. In addition to shouldering the responsibility for existing projects around business intelligence and Robotic Process Automation, this team initiated projects to establish the foundation and architecture for a truly "Digital Lupin," backed by technologies such as data lake and Internet of Things (IOT).

A few key programs underway as part of our Digital Transformation journey include:

Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence (BI) is critical for every organization. New age BI platforms bring together data integration, data analytics, and data literacy to close the gap between data and action. At Lupin, business intelligence is derived from a combination of applications, processes and infrastructure that provide data access and analytics to improve decision-making and performance. We have created multiple dashboards in different geographies including India, Australia, Philippines, Somerset, Mexico, U.S., Brazil, South Africa, and Germany that are used by multiple business functions including finance, HR, manufacturing, and quality. Currently, we are using more than 40 dashboards and 30 reports through the BI platform.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

In every line of business, including pharmaceuticals, time and efficiency are among the most critical parameters. Companies are increasingly leveraging automation to drive higher efficiencies. At Lupin, we have extensively deployed RPA across various functions and processes. By leveraging RPA, we save valuable man-hours by increasing efficiency and reducing the turnaround time of erstwhile manual processes. Through RPA, we have successfully automated more than 60 processes and will expand

it to more processes in the future. Lupin has been recognized by the industry for its work in the field of robotic process automation and we have won the prestigious Technology Senate Award 2021 for our SPRint (Spearheading Processes with Robotics Process Intelligence) program.

Data Lake

Aligned with the goal of enhancing our ability to make data-driven decisions, we are in the process of deploying Data Lake solutions. The ultimate objective of this initiative is:

  • To maintain a single source for data across Lupin
  • Deploy an intelligent BI platform for effective and faster generation of insights
  • Enable ease of integrating applications and tools with data warehouses
  • Unify reports into ready reckoners for quick reference

In the first leg (Sprint 1), our goal is to set up the data platform (Data Lake + Data Warehouse) for manufacturing operations and integrate data sets related to the manufacturing processes and quality functions of our sites in India. Following a pilot analytics implementation at our Goa and Tarapur sites, this will be rolled out to other sites. In the second leg, the plan is to integrate data sets related to Sales and Marketing operations.

ADAPT

Through the initiation and implementation of ADAPT (Accelerated Digital & Analytics Performance Transformation), Lupin has realized significant progress in its vision of digital transformation and data and technology enablement. Under this initiative, the overall manufacturing IT architecture

has been enhanced to build an analytics and engagement layer over and beyond the existing enterprise data layers.

Currently, the program is underway at our Tarapur, Goa and Nagpur manufacturing units, with other sites in the pipeline. The ADAPT program focuses on various use-cases for yield improvement, golden batch identification, utility consumption optimization and micro-stoppage analysis, among others. Nextgen technologies including advanced analytics, machine learning, augmented reality, optimization engines and Industrial Internet of Things form the bedrock for these use cases.

Lupinnovate

An important dimension for driving the success of digital transformation initiatives revolves around people and change management. To enable the buy-in of Lupinytts in this transformation journey, we led a data science-based Ideathon + Hackathon. This initiative was named Lupinnovate and through this, all Lupinytts were invited to submit their ideas on how data can be leveraged to improve business outcomes.

Through Lupinnovate, we were able to foster capabilities, solicit ideas, and promote a culture of innovation. The winning ideas were evaluated based on the intricacy of the work, their feasibility and practicality in implementation, and the impact they would have on the function.

Social & Relationship Capital

Lupin is committed to ensuring that its core value of "Respect and Care" is upheld in its relationship with stakeholders and that this is reflected in its operations.

The Lupin Human Welfare & Research Foundation (LHWRF), an independent entity of Lupin Limited, was established with the objective of providing a sustainable, replicable, and continually evolving model of holistic rural development in India.

We understand that each community may have its own unique requirements, creating a differentiation that would be helpful in bringing about a change at the grass-root level. Therefore, our implementation model begins with a needs-based assessment across the villages we work in. Participatory rural appraisal exercises such as baseline surveys, social mapping, focus group discussions, meetings with village leaders, and transect walks ascertain the genuine requirements of the villages.

INR 339.9 Mn CSR Spend in FY22

2.5 Mn Lives Touched by LHWRF

21.2 Bn Impressions created by Public Relations activities

Today, LHWRF has a presence in 2,285 villages located in 71 blocks of 21 districts across nine states in India. It operates through 20 centers and has introduced an efficient system that focuses on uplifting and empowering marginalized sections of society. Through these centers, we are proud to state that we touched the lives of over 2.5 Mn people.

Nine states with LHWRF presence

LHWRF believes that the implementation of development programs needs to be socially cemented through synergizing community-based organizations and local institutions. In the areas of our interventions, we have promoted this collaboration for future growth and sustainability through:

  • Lupin Gram Vikas Panchayat (LGVPs)
  • Farmer Producers Companies (FPCs) or Off-Farm Producer Organizations (OFPOs)
  • Self-help groups (SHGs) and SHG federations
  • Other groups such as water user groups, Village Watershed Committees (VWCs), or Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) as per project norms of partner organizations such as NABARD.

The communities we work with are treated as equal partners in development and are engaged in the implementation of the projects from the very beginning. The work is monitored by the community and upon its completion, the Panchayat takes responsibility for the same. To redress grievances that may arise, we have developed rules and procedures at village institution levels for timely resolutions.5

Identified incidents of violation involving the rights NIL of indigenous people

LHWRF's work has been centered around contextualized social development models which focus on four key pillars that enable us to create developmental strategies and put communities and their needs at the heart of all our programs.

Provision of Tailoring Skills to Empower Tribal Women

23-year-old Bhagyashree Vasant Tambada comes from a desolate tribal hamlet called Malpada of Dhanivri village in the Palghar district. With five siblings and an annual income of INR 40, 000, she was seeking an opportunity through which she could support her family. At this juncture, she came to know about the tailoring training course run by LHWRF.

Process/Intervention

The sewing machine training was started in villages by LHWRF under the NABSKILL program supported by NABARD in collaboration with Gram panchayats. After completing the course, Bhagyashree was placed at the Garment Production Center at Dhanivri which has a tie-up with the Anita Dongre Fashion House.

Impact

Due to her sharp skills, hard work and dedication, Bhagyashree has risen to the rank of supervisor in the unit. Now, she earns approximately INR 13,000 a month. With this, she can now help her family financially and her sisters can continue their education. Additionally, during the pandemic when virtual schooling was taking place, Bhagyshree purchased and gifted a smartphone to her two sisters who are undergoing college education.

Dhule Pattern of Water Resource Development

In the wake of recurring drought, the Dhule pattern of water resource development—which combines water harvesting, river basin development and efficient water use—stands out. Lack of availability and access to drinking water at the doorstep makes living in rural areas difficult and laborious, with agriculture and livestock also suffering as water in most of the rainfed areas gets exhausted by mid-winter.

Addressing this water scarcity in both summer and winter required a solution at a scale where the whole river basin was treated for rejuvenation. Further, the program ensured efficient use of the conserved water. The major drive that shaped the Dhule pattern was river rejuvenation by deepening and treating the entire basin. About 162.50 km of the river basin area was excavated at 152 sites and treated by building 81 new, and repairing 142 defunct check dams. The program regenerated seven rivers, viz. Jamkheli, Lendur, Sur, Madari, Kan, Waghi, Pan and other local streams from three blocks of Dhule district.

Impact:

  • The river rejuvenation programme in four blocks across seven rivers led to water storage capacity of 5,426.37 TCM, through which 15,787 acres of the area were brought under irrigation.
  • A total of 162.50 km of riverbed has been treated with 223 check dams constructed and/ or repaired.
  • 11,857 families economically upgraded through Water Resource Management.
  • 881 poor tribal families now have irrigation facilities to cultivate their farms throughout the year.
  • About 1,762 acres of rain-fed land transformed into irrigated land.

1,762

  • The availability of water through the Group Well Irrigation System has given a sustainable source of income to these families, because of which they were able to come out of the poverty trap.
  • Seasonal migration stopped among the families that benefited from Group well irrigation system.

  • Area under vegetable cultivation increased from 102 to 1,759 hectares

  • Production grew from 850 MT to 44,052 MT in the same region

• Average annual income per acre from vegetable farming is Rs 110,238

Nutritional Security

LHWRF believes that vegetable crop production is not only a better income generation activity but is also useful in ensuring nutritional security in the area. With the increase in the availability of nutritious vegetables in the farmer's households, higher consumption within the household lead to additional health benefits.

Innovative cluster approach to achieve high impact and greater replication

  • LHWRF linked more than 2,376 farmers to vegetable cultivation programs in the cluster of villages in the district.
  • Through this innovative approach, the Foundation developed crop-specific villages in the project area.
  • Approximately 1950 farmers were linked with mixed vegetable crops, mainly potato cultivation, outside these vegetable cluster villages in the Bharatpur district.

Way Forward

Since inception, we have truly believed that communities are an integral part of the nation's economic and social progress, and well-designed initiatives can have a positive and long-lasting impact. It is imperative for us to adapt to the changing environment and cater to the relevant needs of our communities while embedding the same in our core business strategy. In FY22, we introduced the 'Lives and Livelihood' strategy7 to further strengthen our commitment to improved economic opportunities and healthcare services. The goal of this approach is to contribute equally towards health and towards sustainable livelihood solutions.

The Lives program focuses on service delivery for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and partners with healthcare practitioners on capacity building and training.

The Lives program will be rolled out in FY23.

Lupin bagged the prestigious India Pharma Award for Excellence in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for the second consecutive year. This year (2022), we won the award for the Horticultural Cluster project of Bharatpur.

Lupin also won the 'Excellence in CSR' Award in the prestigious 9th Annual Manufacturing Today Conference and Awards.

Enhancing Patient Experience

initiatives are:

Lupin's branded generics offer cost savings to consumers:

  • Typically, 35% healthcare expenditure savings versus originator price in South Africa
  • 30-50% expenditure savings versus originator price in the U.K.

Lupin continues to enhance customer engagement, create disease awareness, and drive therapy adherence by undertaking digital and technologybased patient support programs. Some of the notable

Joint Airways Initiative: Lupin's Joint Airways Initiative (JAI) is India's first digital educator that educates patients on correct inhalation techniques and offers a wide range of value-added pulmonary services that enable patients to breathe easier.

Humrahi: An initiative with the intent of enhancing quality of life for diabetic patients on insulin, Humrahi has a physical presence in 20 Indian cities and virtual

presence across the country. Through the Humrahi Patient Education Program which offers insulin pen education, insulin storage tips, diet counselling and exercise suggestions, we have touched the lives of 4,000 healthcare practitioners and 150,000 patients

'Anya' is available to our patients on WhatsApp (+91 7045 770 770) in addition to Facebook messenger (@askanyabot) and the web portal (www.askanya.in).

Heart Rate – The Missing Link

As per the World Health Organization (WHO), India accounts for one-fifth of the total number of deaths from stroke and ischemic heart diseases. To create awareness and bring attention to this critical concern, we published a book titled 'Heart Rate – A Missing Link?" which witnessed the contribution of 114 eminent cardiologists. To further reinforce the importance of cardiovascular diseases, we also created a 'Guinness World Record' for the largest book sentence, having 4,921 copies of the book to display the title.

#SayYesToLife

With the objective of raising awareness about mental health, Lupin partnered with Shaan, the famous Indian playback singer, for the re-launch of his iconic song, 'Tanha Dil Tanha Safar'. The official video of this song focuses on an individual suffering from Clinical Depression and portrays his journey through acknowledgement, acceptance and finally, the admittance of his current situation. Further, the video highlights the importance on destigmatizing the need for professional help.

Through difficult times, where words fail, music takes over as the most powerful means of expression and whilst this song track focuses on a serious issue, it still has magic and soulfulness that can help people through a difficult time.

The audio and video of the song is available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x\_ ocX9i6CQ

Shakti

"Good health is very important to me because my flexibility, form, and professional life depend on it. Along with a physical fitness regimen, one should also embed preventive screening tests for working towards optimal health. It is a myth that coronary heart disease is a man's disease or that only older women are at risk. I'm happy to partner with Lupin in their efforts to spread awareness and promote good heart health among women." - Mary Kom

Early detection and management of cardiovascular risk factors are paramount for improving women's cardiovascular health and reducing premature

mortality. Coronary heart diseases are the leading cause of death for women in India and yet awareness levels on the issue remain abysmally low.

In FY22, Lupin Limited signed on six-time world boxing champion, Mary Kom as the brand ambassador for the 'Shakti' campaign, which is aimed at increasing awareness on heart diseases among women.

Engaging with our Suppliers

In a world of uncertainty, Lupin is committed to ensuring business continuity and maintaining service standards. In response to the rapid geographical growth, the Global Sourcing and Contract Manufacturing (GSCM) team has created centers of excellence which cater to the various elements of the supply chain such as procurement processes, outsourced formulations and contract manufacturing.

At Lupin, our top priorities8 with respect to supply chain management are cost, supply continuity and material rejection.

While we may be a global business, we work with domestic manufacturers to reduce import dependency and support the local economy. We have engaged with 1,300 active raw material manufacturers, of which 700 are Indian manufacturers, contributing to approximately 70% of our sourcing. However, for certain materials such as Penicillin G, vitamins as well as packaging components for inhalers, we import the same due to absence of a domestic supply base. In addition to India, we have formulation manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Brazil and Mexico where regional procurement teams are present.

In FY22, we engaged with 9,683 suppliers while in FY21 and FY20, we had associations with 9,395 and 8,600 suppliers respectively. Furthermore, 100% of our procurement budget for the three years was spent on the suppliers.9

FY 21

At Lupin, the quality of our products is of utmost importance and suppliers are only onboarded after a series of stringent checks to warrant that they are aligned with the expectations of the company. Once the suppliers are associated with Lupin, they

are classified into categories — Strategic, Critical, Leverage and Routine — to improve our relationship with them and minimize the supply risk. We also ensure that periodic evaluations are undertaken for each of the categories:

Identification of Critical Suppliers

High volume suppliers or similar

a. Spend value for each purchase category

Critical component suppliers or similar

a. Imported materials b. Materials utilised for top selling products

Non-substitutable suppliers or similar

a. Materials where substitution involves significant time and investment

Supplier Code of Conduct

In FY21, we established a target of implementing a Supplier Code of Conduct (CoC) for all our suppliers and vendors by 2022. This year, we are proud to state that we achieved this by developing our own Third-Party Code of Conduct which is applicable to the following stakeholders:

The CoC covers aspects such as labor rights, anti-bribery and corruption, health and safety, environment, ethics, data privacy, confidentiality and information protection.

For more details, please refer to our website: https://www.lupin.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/thirdparty-coc.pdf

Risk Management of Relationships

We understand that the supply chain is complex and hence we have built a two-tier mechanism for all our purchase materials which enables us to gauge our supplier's dependency on foreign vendors.

To strengthen our process, we have collaborated with Bureau Van Dijk, to develop a risk assessment that evaluates the Environment Health and Safety (EHS) standards of our suppliers. Further, due to the to the nature of operations, Strategic and Critical suppliers are also assessed on the following parameters:

Based on the outcome of these assessments, these suppliers are categorized into 'high', 'medium' and 'low' risk. For the medium and low risk suppliers, we hold discussions to understand their current scenario and provide required guidance in terms of new business opportunities, improving their supply chain network or technical support with help of our R&D team.

As a precautionary measure, we also gauge alternate suppliers for those who are considered as high risk.

Engaging with our Customers

Customer relationship management plays an imperative role and is undertaken through various functions across locations. Our products are promoted, sold, and distributed in global markets through the support of experienced sales and marketing teams. In India, our market primarily consists of health practitioners while in U.S., Europe and the Growth Markets, our products are sold directly to the customers including governments, pharmacy chains, leading wholesalers and hospital purchasing organizations.

At Lupin, we firmly believe that our customers play an integral role in the growth of the company. It is important to connect with them and understand their needs while showcasing our story and vision and commit ourselves to creating innovate products to improve the health of individuals. We engage with our customers through various modes of physical and virtual communication such as videocalls, phone calls and social media platforms. In the U.S., there is a regular occurrence of townhalls and Trade Shows which enable the company to explain new approaches and strategies.

In Mexico, we have collaborated with 'Medscape', the most consulted medical platform for developing a marketing digital strategy to enhance customer

service in the region. Additionally, we participate in the ophthalmic congresses such as the National Ophthalmic Congress, the annual meeting of the International Course of Glaucoma, Cornea and Retina Annual Meeting as well as the annual meeting of the Plastic Surgeons.

To address customer grievances in the global locations we operate in, we have developed a robust grievance redressal mechanism which ensures timely resolution of complaints. In the U.S., all product-specific patient complaints are handled through the IQVIA Medical Affairs hotline. Additionally, there is also a customer service support team with a specific phone number and email address for managing complaints on shortages, overages, damages during transit, etc. Similarly, for the EMEA region, we have a 'Medical Information' hotline to record customer complaints. We are proud to state that through the course of the year, the number of complaints decreased and the completion rate for grievance resolution was 100%. In Mexico, we have formalized a Complaint Management System, which specifies the guidelines to be followed for the reception, investigation, and closure of complaint with respect to the quality of a product. Any complaint received is recorded in the system and classified as per the Rapid Alert System (RAS) in less than 24 hours after its notification. The complaints are classified as Critical, Major, Minor or Adverse Reaction according to the impact it has on the quality, safety, or efficacy of the drug.10

COVID Support

In 2021, we conducted numerous activities to provide assistance to individuals and organizations under our COVID-19 support programs. In the months of April through June, we organized initiatives to provide oxygen gas plants, oxygen concentrator machines, hospital supplies, PPE kits, ventilators, office supplies, and more, amounting close to INR 3.9 Mn. For employees, we organized a Vaccine Champion and Hospital Task Force. Vaccines were available through this program across India. In addition, any COVID affected

employee or family member was provided critical medical and admission support whenever in need for hospitalization. Year 2021 was truly devastating for India as COVID impacted 1.42 Crore lives. Over 5,000 of our employees, including 2,500 within IRF, suffered from COVID. The COVID-sensitive leave policy, work from home policy and extended medical and insurance coverage allowed us to reduce the impact of the crisis in multiple ways.

Public Relations

In FY22, our public relations activities were conducted across 27 cities with a cumulative print coverage of 1,440 and online coverage of over 28,000 in relevant media houses. This helped with an overall reach of 21.2 Bn impressions through press release, interviews, authored articles and speaking engagements. Our social media reach for these PR-driven initiatives was 402 Mn. In addition, in FY22, we rolled out over 20 unique campaigns with a cumulative reach of almost 40 Mn with 1.7 Mn in engagement across our channels of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. Through our campaigns under various themes, we have managed to grow our followers by 30% on LinkedIn, 21% on Twitter, 5.8% on Facebook and 42% on Instagram.

Maximizing Shareholder Value

The protection of investor interests and concerns is of primary importance to Lupin. Our ability to create value and meet our commitments is dependent on the trust and support of our investor community. Our investors are regularly engaged through circulars, earnings calls, presentations, meetings and conferences.

The FY21 Integrated Report was shared via email with shareholders. Last year, most of our communications with our shareholders were paperless, helping us to reduce our environmental impact while meeting regulatory requirements.

Human Capital

Lupin is built on the foundation of our core values and our commitment to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We strive to provide a safe, challenging, and rewarding workplace for our employees.

Building High Performance Teams

At Lupin, our employees are our most valuable asset — central to the success and growth of our business operations and organizational reputation. Providing support and care for our employees is part of our DNA, and we strive to create an environment conducive to their development. Our systems, policies, technology and business functioning are aligned with industry best practices. As a result, we are able to provide a fair, professional, and diverse work environment to our employees. The kind of an enabling environment we have created is a great platform for our employees to gain exceptional experiences. This approach to employee management strengthens and nurtures our human capital while at the same time allowing us to retain highly skilled and talented professionals, creating value for all our stakeholders.

Our Talent Landscape

As a knowledge-based company, we are committed to the continuous development of our people. We strive to ensure diversity in gender and age for our workforce so as to enhance collaboration and dialogue within the business.

Our endeavor is to recognize and instill confidence in our global workforce of 21,381* permanent employees and workers. Of this, the largest share of our permanent workforce is in India, i.e., 19,453.**

Talent Retention

Technology has been the driving force behind our efforts to develop and nurture our human capital. The deployment of state-of-the-art and universal platforms such as SAP-SuccessFactors and HR Central has enabled better management of employee data, allowing our HR team to deliver most relevant solutions for employees across different functional areas and geographies.

Overall, our people-centered approach plays a key role in ensuring the retention of our talent. In adopting this approach, coupled with the principle of awards and recognition of our employees, we carry out systematic employee retention. Our people are prepared and can adapt to disruptive changes which enables them to reach their full potential.

This further reflects the employee turnover rate that is well below the sector's attrition rate. Globally, the pharmaceutical industry has an attrition rate between 10 to 12%. Moreover, the industry experiences an employee turnover of 30 to 40% at the field level and 8 to 10% at the managerial level.13 This is in direct contrast to the employee turnover14 rate experienced by Lupin across its global presence—on an average, the turnover rate has been reported as 17.4%. In addition, while the fast-growing knowledge-based sector experiences an annual attrition rate of 30 to 35% in India, Lupin's attrition rate was 17.7% in FY22. In FY20 and FY21, 3339 and 2867 employees respectively left the organization15.

Learn & Earn Program

At Lupin, we are strongly committed to creating a workforce that is adequately skilled and comprises of the best talent available. Aligned with this is our desire to create positive impact for the communities we work in. For this, we have implemented Learn & Earn, a bachelors degree program designed by Lupin to provide educational and career opportunities to financially underprivileged talented and ambitious individuals from rural areas around our largest manufacturing hubs. Individuals who enroll in this program are provided with job assurance at Lupin. The program offers enrolled individuals access to bachelors degrees from reputed universities in the manufacturing and technology sectors. Participants are provided with on-the-job training, a customized induction and orientation program, and gain 3 years of professional work experience. Participants are also supported with subsidized accommodation, transport and canteen facilities and group personal accident insurance and individual Mediclaim. In terms of impact, since inception, approximately 650 learners have been onboarded and have completed their graduation. The first all India Learner Graduation ceremony was held in Goa in 2014.

Success Story

Tapasya, a girl from a rural area of Maharashtra, joined the program in 2018 at our Goa site. Her growth and learning through the program were greatly enhanced. She was made the Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the Quality Control lab in her third year, and was responsible for ensuring effective training of new joiners during their On-Job training process. She has been identified as SME for several instruments includng Karl Fisher, HPLC, Physical Testing, Basic lab skills, Dissolution by UV and Spectrofluorometer instruments.

Managing Talent

Fostering an environment that encourages the growth and development of our people is critical to the success of our business. Our employees are encouraged to harness their potential and gain success throughout their career lifecycle. We have established a performance management system that evaluates employee achievements on a periodic basis, in an objective and structured manner. Our people are provided with opportunities to discuss their performance and professional and personal aspirations with their managers across all functions and levels. Rigorous follow-up is maintained on such conversations through Performance Conversations Documents to track progress against set aspirations. Through our robust performance review system, for FY22, 100% male and female employees in India have received regular review, further contributing to their development.16 Across our geographies of operation17, for FY22, 83.6% male and 6.8% female

employees have undergone performance and career development reviews. In FY21, 100% of our eligible employees received regular performance and career development reviews.18

Along with performance review, we also provide our people with learning and upskilling opportunities to enable them to undertake leadership roles effectively. Based on the Lupin Leadership Competencies and Values Framework, curated training programs are offered to employees in leadership roles. The purpose of these trainings is to enhance the employee's leadership skills, familiarize them with their new roles and ensure that synergies remain collaborative across teams. In India, we also offer the Leader Plus program for grass root leaders to develop and strengthen their supervisory skills. For FY22, 130 employees participated in this program.

Developing Talent

We strive to foster a life-long learning approach for the organization and our employees. The aim is to facilitate high-performing teams, facilitate agile and adaptive ways of working, upskill and reskill current employees as per requirements, and engage and prepare all employees for disruptive transformation.

The life-long learning approach compounded with our values has resulted in precise investments for our employees. For FY22, the total number of training hours undertaken by our employees across the 8

Key Interventions

  • Yes, We Can: To establish confidence for "Zero 483s" at manufacturing sites.
  • Quality First Program: To emphasize overarching quality focus and influence inspection outcomes.
  • SEED: To enhance synergy within our Site Leadership and create a collaborative environment, SEED was introduced with the aim of increased efficiency of our plant performance. The initiative has been championed by the Site head for launching, reviewing, tracking & acknowledging changed behaviours that have led to efficiencies in the plant performance. For example, a large Site reported a rise in committed versus actual production target achievement from 78% pre-SEED to 92% post-SEED.

The overarching objective of all our L&D initiatives is to inculcate within our employees a sense of belonging and familiarity within the organization. In addition, these initiatives aid in enhancing the professional expertise of our people, eventually creating strong value for all our stakeholders.

Building the capacity and abilities of our people is critical to our operations. Focused efforts are regularly made to ensure that our employees have the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out their functions effectively. With an aim to promote selflearning, Lupin U.S. has established a partnership with Open Sesame. Through this partnership, employees can enroll themselves in 25,000+ courses, free of cost. E-training on health and safety issues is also accessible to our people at Lupin U.K. Training for leadership roles is also offered on digital platforms.

ASCENT

To enable our employees performing research and development roles to further enhance their skills, we have implemented an initiative called ASCENT. This initiative provides such employees with access to a PhD program through partnerships with Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) and Symbiosis University. Each enrolled scholar is mentored by a Lupin guide and all monetary and professional support is provided. Further, they are also able to leverage our state-of-the-art laboratories to strengthen their practical skills. 35+ employees are enrolled in the program, 7 received their PhDs in FY22 and 8 new applicants are awaiting final senate presentations with MAHE.

Juilee Kulkarni, Research Associate – Pharma Research, Lupin Research Park, Pune

"I am fortunate to be part of Lupin Research Park; where we have a fully established and fully sponsored PhD. Program (ASCENT) for employees and aspirants like me. ASCENT not only sponsors our PhD. but also facilitates and supports us every step of the way! The ASCENT program management team in HR, ensures we are equipped and enabled to carry out research. I am currently pursuing my PhD. In the area of my interest – IVIVC/Biopharmaceutics. I feel privileged to have experts in the field as my guide at Lupin and at Manipal. I have several avenues to seek guidance and advise from a dedicated cross-functional expert at Lupin, apart from my guides. Over and above this, I also have the support and review of the IP team. I feel proud for being at Lupin and lucky for all the support and guidance I am receiving towards pursuing different goals, both personal and professional."

Mayur Kardile, IPMG Business Development, Lupin Research Park

Since I had a passion for Ph.D. studies, I was looking for an option to pursue this passion. At this time, I learned about Lupin's ASCENT program. This program helped me achieve my passion while working in Lupin. The way this program is designed is commendable as it offers quality education through reputed institutes like (Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal), adequate resources, enough flexibility, and opportunity to learn more. A Ph.D. degree is always a valuable asset that one can possess; especially in the field that we work in. I have thoroughly enjoyed my research and ASCENT has played a vital role. The structure of program is suitable for working professionals without compromising on quality of education, or the career. It has helped me acquire more knowledge while I continued to be employed. I am really fortunate to have had the opportunity to earn a Ph.D. degree while working. Being a Lupinytt with a Doctorate is a very special moment. I will cherish this achievement always.

Rewards & Recognition

To nurture an entrepreneurial spirit and encourage excellence in all we do, we believe in the importance of recognizing and appreciating our employees. At the center of this action is the belief that our employees are the foundation of our success and recognizing their contributions is critical to organizational growth. To this end, we have undertaken over 10+ initiatives across our 10 offices. A few notable examples of our awards and recognition programs include:

The Desh Bandhu Gupta Spirit of Lupin Awards
Each Lupinytt has the responsibility to embody the Spirit of Lupin and
carry out their daily roles and responsibilities in a manner that embodies
our six core values. The Desh Bandhu Gupta Spirit of Lupin Awards was
instituted after our founder to recognize and appreciate these qualities in our
people. Recipients are provided with a trophy and a certificate from senior
leadership. As a value driven award, it is the embodiment of the Lupin Spirit
and is the apex award at Lupin, designed to recognize and reinforce our value
driven approach.
Bravo Awards
This award credits employees for a job well done.
Long Service Awards
This award recognizes long-term service of our employees at the

Diversity and Inclusion26

Lupin is committed to fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion in our workforce, enabling our people to utilize their diverse talents and skills. We pride ourselves on being champions of equality and encouraging and maintaining an environment of collaboration. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is strengthened through various initiatives that carry the promise of access and opportunities for support and collaboration. Some of these are:

The Lupin Women's Network (LWN) was formed with the vision of a holistic platform for women at Lupin to engage and interact. The main objective of LWN centers around employee engagement and culture building, as well as enablement and development. It provides a psychological safety net for women employees. The network provides employees with a sense of belonging and acknowledgement. This initiative offers visibility to our employees and access to opportunities for adequate representation.

"The Lupin Women's Network, LWN is a unique and innovative initiative which plays a great supportive role for all the women employees of Lupin. Being a part of LWN has always helped me to aspire, connect, stay motivated and recognise my strengths and explore various avenues. It truly has helped to break the bias and support workplace diversity at Lupin. I always get the opportunity to explore myself above and beyond my professional identity.

The most recent example is the Women's Cricket Tournament - Udaan Cup, which was one such platform which drove me to take up Cricket, enhance my leadership and team player skills as the captain.

The Udaan cup was a very exciting event. Being a part of the first ever Women's Udaan cup and wining it was a wonderful experience. Having a recreational and healthy activity along with office routine work and then the team formation, little bit of strategic planning giving each team member the much-needed motivating which precipitated into a high energy and winning performance in the tournament by our team - Biotech Indians! It filled me with positivity and pride! A great feeling while receiving the award and medal in spite having tired legs. I am very thankful to the Udaan and LWN teams for this experience and platform.

Participating in the Udaan Cup taught me several things, starting with accepting challenges in life and overcoming them – they in turn reflect that we, especially women are capable of anything as long as we set our hearts to it and take on responsibility. I am so proud that the entire women's cricket team led by example and came out shinning as ambassadors of LWN at Lupin!"

Lupin's Women Network Returnity — Returning Mother's Program

This program has been designed to act as a platform for career transition arising out of maternity. The end purpose of this program is to ensure that returning mothers can smoothly navigate their maternity journey and get re-integrated at work. It also ensures that employees who are returning are provided with the necessary support needed to reorient themselves and take proactive steps towards realizing their potential. This program has several advantages including fostering a culture of collaboration and inclusivity, increased ownership post maternity, greater retention, opportunities for greater engagement of other employees, organizational goodwill, and enhanced employer branding. To further inclusion, the program also extends to new fathers.

"On initial days, coming back to work felt like, I was on rollercoaster of emotions, positive as well as negative. Lupin's Returnity program has played key role in my transition back to work. Returnity focused on noticing returning mom's emotions and provided the support we needed to cope with them. I felt very lucky to have discussions with women who have successfully overcome this phase of their lives. Moreover, it also provided us with the platform to share our thoughts and speak out. As a result, I was able to work on finding real time solutions to problems. I also had an opportunity of one-on-one coaching. This was such a wonderful and re-assuring experience because I could have my specific needs addressed by my coach. The process helped me gain confidence and was instrumental in my transition."

iMpact-Women's Mentoring Program

This program has been specially curated with a model that encourage Lupin's leaders to be cultivated as mentors. Under this, handpicked senior leaders of Lupin are enabled through curated workshops to develop their mentoring skills prior to having their mentees assigned. It also acts as a platform for women employees to seek support and guidance from senior management.

"The journey with IMPACT Mentorship programme has been enlightening for me. I had joined this program wanting to learn more about the organisation, it's working and to learn how to improve myself. From the beginning of this programme, the Mentees and their goals were given priority. I was thoroughly surprised that there existed a program where I was able to seek guidance on the thing that I wanted to improve! I had the opportunity to be mentored by Ms Mukti Yenprediwar. Her rich experience in the field of Quality Assurance allowed me to understand the technicalities of my field i.e. Regulatory Affairs better. Being a fresher, I really appreciated her patience and continuous follow ups with me to assure being constantly aligned to my goals and objectives. Her guidance on time management and tips on increasing productivity and efficiency have been very useful to me. I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. I would highly recommend anyone looking for mentorship to enrol for this program without hesitation!"

Moumita Roy Officer, Regulatory Affairs

"When I started my iMPACT journey, I was not sure of how this program would turn out; what exactly to expect, what would be the outcome, how easy or tough this would be! Today when I look back, I feel so glad that I was a part of this amazing mentoring program! My mentor (Mr. Himanshu Godbole) has been such a good listener who never gave up on hearing out all my troubles and helping me find a path through it. He was very approachable, and we had really good discussions ranging from behavioral to soft skills to technical. This really helped me to realign my focus and have a positive approach. I am so thankful to Lupin and the HR team for conducting this session and allowing me to be a part of it."

Gender Sensitization Program

This plays a crucial role in fostering an inclusive and healthy work environment for all employees. The design of this program incorporates actions to challenge possible biases and provide solutions on mitigation of the same. It acts as a critical transition point program 'The First Time Managers' and is also conducted during Lupin's Orientation/Induction sessions.

Fair Recruitment Practices

Alignment to all applicable laws and guidelines on anti-discrimination practices is ensured across our global offices. In Brazil, this alignment has been formalized through the SOP HR 001 Recruitment and Selection. This SOP establishes that recruitment is undertaken on the basis of the competency of the candidate and relevance to the job description solely.

Along with our D&I initiatives, Lupin is committed to ensuring our workforce has adequate gender representation. Up until now, our workforce across operations in 11 countries consists of:

Hiring and On-boarding

While there are variations in regional and national laws for employment, there are core principles that guide the end-to-end recruitment process at Lupin. The process adopted can broadly be categorized as: identify the requirement, source and assess the talent, and build capacities through on-boarding.

As a core function for Human Capital, recruitment is conducted by upholding our values such as integrity and transparency. Across our global offices, we follow an equal opportunity approach that puts our candidates at the core of our recruiting process. During the first stage, we undertake a rigorous analysis of the job requirement with the specification, and desired qualification. This enables the Lupin team to identify the gap that needs to be bridged. After identification of the gap, we source the candidates

through various channels such as LinkedIn and Indeed. com, among others. The candidates are further assessed through an approach of Competency Based Behavioral Interviewing. Prior to selection of the candidates, we undertake a reference check and initiate the on-boarding process. Our on-boarding process focuses on building capacities of the selected candidates through undertaking a tailor-made program befitting the role, and providing clear job requirements.

Our hiring process allows us to attract new talent and retain our core workforce. We aim to attract professionals from diverse fields that strengthens our capacities and capabilities in the pharmaceutical industry. This is exemplified by our total number of 4,625 new hires across various employee categories.

Our flagship new joinee program, Udbhav, lays out the roadmap for all new employees and gives them an opportunity to familiarize themselves with Lupin's culture. The overarching objective of this program is to provide new employees with a sense of belonging and initiate their learning journey within the organization. For FY22, 4,625 new employees participated in this program.

While orientation and retention are all about making new employees feel at home, we also believe it is

Ensuring Employee Health and Safety

At Lupin, regular and focused efforts are made to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for our employees. Our facilities are designed in accordance with the highest safety standards and state-of the-art safety controls. Concerted efforts are also made to implement training and capacity building sessions for all our employees to generate awareness and nurture individual responsibility towards health and safety practices.

Our Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy articulates our philosophy and commitment for the management of key EHS aspects.All our active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sites, except Vizag (soon to be added), have been provided with International Safety Rating Systems. Similar systems have been instituted at all formulation units, Biotech, Vizag site and Research and Development locations. Occupational health and safety risks are regularly and proactively identified through systems of Hazard important to help our employees understand and get attuned to the organizational culture. The Buddy program at Lupin has proven to be a great tool to assist both of these objectives. Through the Buddy program, new joinees are able to immediately add value and become more productive, owing to a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. We currently have close to 750 active buddies in the organization assisting the assimilation of new joinees.

Identification and Risk Assessment at all our locations. This enables us to identify risks and ensure that policy and control measures are activated to manage identified risks within permissible limits. Additional risk assessments include HAZOP for API products and processes, Risk Assessments for Formulation Units and daily Job Safety Analysis. This is supported by a robust governance mechanism that carries out periodical reviews at a Business President level30. For FY21 and FY22, NIL complaints were filed by employees and workers amongst the Indian workforce on working conditions and health and safety issues31.

Along with risk identification, we also have an Incident Management System for reporting, investigating and implementation of appropriate remedial actions. The system allows for reporting of all incidents, including near-miss and potential hazards. For FY22 and FY21, the following table provides details on safety-related incidents32:

Our workforce is provided with regular training on our Safety Management Systems. Our workforce underwent 551,837 hours and 650,698 hours of health and safety training in FY21 and FY22 respectively33. We also have dedicated EHS units at all our sites to ensure that Safety Management Systems are well established. The systems are also linked with annual performance appraisals, wherein we set year on year targets to enhance overall safety performance. A monthly review mechanism on EHS performance at the site level and corporate level is conducted to ensure that all constraints are identified, and improvement measures are planned and established. Annual audits are also performed to ensure the effectiveness of all established procedures34.

We have further enhanced our efforts through our commitment to a 10% year on year reduction in the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), Severity Rate, Accident Frequency Rate, and Incident Frequency Rate, taking FY20 as the base year. The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and the progress achieved against them are regularly monitored.

We have also operationalized the Employee Health and Safety Travel policy for COVID-19 across all our operations. Ensuring the highest degree of compliance to regulations as well as our stringent internal Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) helps us to prevent occurrence of unforeseen events. This is fundamental to our corporate well-being, which enables us to achieve excellence while creating value for our company and stakeholders.

Further, we strongly believe that overall physical and mental wellbeing of our employees is critical to their success and growth. Focused efforts are undertaken for training on physical and mental wellbeing for our workforce. They are also able to avail medication and counselling services by qualified medical professionals. We also conduct regular health awareness campaigns on hypertension, diabetes, tobacco cessation, among others. Through our We Care Program, we have helped our workforce access counselling services. We also have a partnership with 1to1, a leading emotional wellness partner, to extend the support for the wellbeing to our workforce.

Inculcating a Culture of Employee Engagement

Our approach to enabling the right culture is demonstrated through several initiatives that we offer our employees. This fosters employee engagement.

The overarching objective of all our employee initiatives is to promote and maintain a value-driven workforce. A few notable examples are:

The employee strength of our townhall was 5,92235.

To allow for all our employees to manage and set expectations and build trust between teams, and easily access channels of communication to senior leadership. Townhalls are held every quarter virtually and includes all employees across the 10 global offices. The Lupin leadership team closely monitors the action points discussed during the townhall to enhance accountability within the operations. In FY22, we conducted four global townhalls led by our CEO and Managing Director. InSight Townhalls To celebrate special days such as birthdays, International Women's Day, Environment Day to encourage employee morale and engagement Celebrations at Work To continue fostering an open-door culture and Fun Fridays acknowledge and conduct small celebrations

As a core value of the company, respect and care for our employees is also shown through the provision of special leave support. This provides them with the flexibility to address their personal requirements in a hassle-free manner. Some of these include parental leave, leave in case of weddings/relocation, and leave in case of death or illness. For FY22, the total number of employees36 that were entitled to parental leave stood at 15,877. Out of this, the male employees entitled parental leave stood 14,560 and female employees stood at 1,317. For FY22, 758 employees availed parental leave. Out of this, the male employees who availed the parental leave stood at 681 and female employees stood at 77. In a similar vein, the employees that returned to work in the reporting period after parental leave ended stood at 746 employees37. The retention rate at Lupin was 89.5% for FY22. The total number of employees who continued to stay at Lupin for over a year since returning to work from parental leave was 668. With respect to India38, 1,068 permanent female workforce and 14,652 permanent male workforce were entitled to maternity and paternity benefits respectively. The retention rate stood at 90% and return to work rate stood at 100% in India39. We also provide benefits in the form of Health Insurance, Accidental Insurance, Day Care Facilities, Marriage Leave and Bereavement Leave40.

We also provide our employees with a range of monetary retirement benefits to enable them to secure their future. The table below provides details on the uptake of such benefits by our Indian workforce for FY21 and FY22:41

Grievance Redressal

The commitment to fostering a culture that prioritizes employee well-being and safety is further strengthened through our robust mechanism for complaint and grievance redressal42. Lupin has a Whistle Blower Policy which provides a formal mechanism to all employee, with either permanent, probationary, trainee, retainer, temporary or contractual appointment to report any actual or suspected concerns related to Violation of the Code of Conduct or any other unethical behavior. We also have in place Internal Committees for handling the grievances arising out of sexual harassment at the workplace thereby, adhering to the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act. At Lupin, we believe in protecting the privacy of our people and all concerns of discrimination and harassment are dealt with confidentially43. For FY22, the number of cases reported/pending44 for resolution stood at nil45.

Driving Compliance

We also ensure strict compliance with local laws and regulations and international guidelines on Human Rights issues such as sexual harassment, child labour, forced labour, wages, among other. Regular internal

monitoring is undertaken to ensure that compliance is maintained. For FY22, no observations from local statutory bodies/third parties have been reported from such assessments47.

Global HR Policies

The foundation of our human capital management approach rests on our robust policies. These policies help foster an environment characterized by a strong and diverse workforce. Some of the notable policies are:

Human Rights

Lupin India has recently formalized the Human Rights Policy, a critical step in ensuring a safe and healthy working environment and operations. This policy upholds and promotes the importance of fundamental human rights aligned to international principles of the United Nations, International Labour Organization, OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprise and International Bill of Human Rights. All grievances and complaints can be routed to the Compliance and Ethics Office for redressal48.

Paternity Leave

All male employees are entitled to five days of leave to support their spouse and family after the birth of a child.

Health Assistance (Mediclaim Policy)

Our employee's health is of utmost priority to us. In recognition of this, we provide health insurance to all our employees and their families. The coverage of the policy extends to our employees, their parents, spouses and two children. Lupin Switzerland also covers the premium of private health insurances so that employees are able to access greater quality of care. In addition, employees are also able to avail insurance for accidents.

Maternity Leave

All female employees on our payroll can avail Maternity Leave as per the provisions of the Maternity Benefits Act of the region.

Sabbatical Leave

Employees who have completed three or more years of service can avail a break in service for up to one year, to address any personal requirements/circumstances.

Employee Children Education Assistance and Recognition

Children of our employees who demonstrate high performance in academics and acquire stipulated percentages in key exams are provided with a merit certificate and a cash reward.

Leave for Adoption

Our employees can avail leave in the event of adoption of a child.

Natural Capital

At Lupin, we strive to conduct our business in a sustainable manner and when feasible, give back to the environment more than we consume. To us, natural capital is an asset that must be preserved, enhanced, and deployed sustainably to create long-term value for all our stakeholders.

Clean air, water and the environment are essential to the health and well-being of everyone. In all our locations around the world, optimizing our use and impact of natural capital is an important consideration. We continuously strive to adhere to and exceed environmental regulations and norms in all regions of our operations.

42% Total Water Recycled as a percentage of total water withdrawal in Indian operations

8% Total GHG Emissions Reduction compared with FY21 (In India)

Water positivity replenished 476% of total water withdrawn through watershed management projects

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of environmental governance within our Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability policy, which lays down our commitments for management of environmental impact within our operations as well as business value chain. We extend our environmental stewardship activities beyond our premises and we actively educate and encourage our employees, partners, and suppliers to adopt environment friendly practices. We are continuously innovating new ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, procure renewable energy sustainably, manage our water consumption, increase

our water recovery, and manage the disposal of waste from own operations and in the downstream from post-consumer plastic packaging waste.

Almost 50% of our sites in India are Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). The efficient management of effluents within our manufacturing sites is in accordance with the standards prescribed by regulatory authorities. This is also a first step towards our commitment to Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) stewardship and we strive to ensure that there is no antibiotic releases to the environment.

Energy Management49

Our energy consumption profile across our 13 Indian locations and three overseas locations in Brazil, Mexico and Somerset U.S. is presented below:

We are constantly evaluating ways to reduce our dependence on non-renewable energy sources. Among the measures we have taken are:

Emission Targets

To support global efforts to limit global warming below 1.5 degrees from pre-industrial levels, Lupin has taken on ambitious commitments for decarbonization to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 15% from 2019-20 levels, by 2030.

This will be achieved through process and product efficiency, expanding the use of captive renewable energy in our operating locations, and preferentially procuring green energy from the grid and implementing energy efficiency measures at our operating sites.

Water Management53

Since industries, agriculture, and domestic consumption compete for water resources, we are committed to responsibly utilizing the scarce water resources and maximizing the reuse and recycling of water in our own operations.

In FY22, we conducted a baseline assessment of the current water risk at our manufacturing locations in India. While overall, Lupin's water consumption is offset by CSR activities in watershed management, but water-scarcity risks in manufacturing poses risks to Lupin's operations. Through this process, we identified the sites exposed to Baseline Water Stress by 2030. The baseline water stress measures the ratio of total water withdrawals to available renewable surface and groundwater supplies. Five of our operating locations – Pithampur, Nagpur, Jammu, Aurangabad and Ankleshwar - are in regions of Extremely High-Water Risk by WRI Aqueduct water risk atlas tool. Our strategy for ensuring business

Continuity and water risk mitigation includes technical interventions such as the installation of water recycling plants, reusing AHU condensate and rainwater, water efficiency mechanisms, and raising awareness about water conservation among our stakeholders.

Our industrial by-products and waste streams are treated to ensure compliance with all applicable norms of the State Pollution Control Boards. Further, six of our sites in India are Zero Liquid Discharge54 and we ensure that effluents from our processes are not discharged to water bodies through run-offs. At nine of our sites in India, the wastewater after primary treatment is further processed in state-ofthe-art water recovery plants consisting of Reverse Osmosis (RO), Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) and Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) plants to efficiently recover water from the wastewater. The recovered water is utilized in utilities, flushing, housekeeping and landscaping.

Through the water stewardship activities undertaken by the Lupin Foundation in India over the past decade in the rural regions of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, Lupin has been able to give back to nature more than we consume. As of 31st March 2022, we have been able to create water recharge potential of the order of 476% of our total water withdrawn, thereby making our operations overall water positive.

Targets

At Lupin, we have taken a target of recycling 50% of our total water withdrawal in our operations by 2025. The goal will be achieved through process

interventions and increased uptake of recycled water in operations in activities such as landscaping and housekeeping.

Waste Management55

Lupin strives to embed principles of circularity and waste recycling to reduce waste disposal to landfills or incineration. In India, in FY22 approximately 45% (3,099 MT) of the incinerable hazardous waste generated at our sites was sent for co-processing/ pre-processing in cement plants instead of incineration. This year, however, was an anomalous year due to the contracting arrangement with the waste co-processor and the fraction of waste sent to cement plants has reduced from 57% (in FY21) to 13% in FY22. With all arrangements in place in FY23, we expect to achieve similar levels of waste co-processing in the coming year.

Further, spent solvents generated in the API manufacturing processes are either recovered and reused in-situ or sent to authorized recyclers or registered disposal facilities. Spent or used oil generated from our operations is sent to authorized recyclers or registered disposal facilities. Further, as a part of our resource conservation initiatives, we sent spent calcium sulphate (6,298 MT) to cement plants for utilizing as alternate fuel and raw material in their operations.

Hazardous waste generation profile (Global)

FY22 in MT

Non-hazardous waste from our operations, such as canteen wastes, and mycelia wastes (5,844 MT) are either send to piggeries or composted to convert

into usable organic fertilizer. The agro-waste boiler ash (1,500 MT) is sent for brick manufacturing, soil enrichment and landfilling.

We are committed to minimizing waste by:

Encouraging non-hazardous and less toxic materials during the inventory/purchase process

Sourcing equipment that produces zero waste or minimal hazardous waste

Using longer life chemical products

Training employees on safe handling, labelling and storage of hazardous products

As part of our Extended Producer Responsibility obligations around post-consumer plastic waste management, we are recovering an equivalent quantity of the post-consumer plastic waste generated from our products in India and the plastic waste is being channelized to create

recycled products or being utilized as an alternate energy source. Further, we have eliminated patient information leaflets from our products by digitizing them. In addition to reducing costs, this has also reduced paper consumption and waste.

Waste management in Indian operations

Targets

Lupin has committed to ensure that 60% of the hazardous waste generated in its Indian operations will be sent to cement plants for co-processing by 2025. This will reduce the quantum of hazardous waste being diverted to landfilling or incineration which creates significant health risks for society.

Heart Rate – The Missing Link

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), India accounts for one-fifth of the total number of deaths resulting from stroke and ischemic heart disease. In most cases, consistently high heartbeat indicates a larger underlying health condition. For the purpose of bringing attention to this critical health parameter and ensuring that medical professionals are aware of its importance, we have published a book entitled 'Heart Rate, a missing link?' in which 114 eminent cardiologists have contributed. In order to increase the awareness of this issue, we created a new Guinness World Record™ title by creating the "Largest book sentence" having 4,921 copies of the book to display the title 'Heart Rate, Is it a Missing Link?'

Shakti

In India, coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, yet awareness of the disease remains abysmally low. Lupin launched the Shakti Campaign on Women's Day in March 2022, in order to raise awareness about heart health among women and to encourage them to lead healthy lives.

Joint Airways Initiative

Lupin's Joint Airways Initiative (JAI) is India's first digital educator that educates patients on proper inhalation techniques and offers a wide range of value-added services that enable them to breathe easier.

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Business

The COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect business across countries in FY22 and we are still witnessing the impact of post-COVID effects on the market demand for antibiotic pharmaceutical products. The demand for oral cephalosporin antibiotics has declined across markets in the last two years though we expect it to bounce back in FY23.

The market has also witnessed huge Increases in the cost of key raw materials, intermediates, energy and other utilities, and this is contributing to an increase in the cost of manufacture of products across the API industry. The price of Penicillin-G, for example, the raw material used to manufacture certain cephalosporin antibiotics, has increased exponentially and the end market has not yet been able to absorb this increase.

These are new market realities and Lupin has reoriented its market approach with the current market environment. We have leaned on our experience in process chemistry including fermentation technology and refocused our efforts to mitigate the impact of headwinds in the market place and manage the situation optimally. Most importantly, our client base remained strong during these challenging times.

API contributed about 6% percent of the total sales of the firm with sales of INR 9,904 Mn.

Outlook

There has been an increased focus on the prevention of TB in high-risk individuals, such as those living with HIV or having close contact with TB patients. The preventive TB regimen uses a fermentation-based product called Rifapentine. Lupin's fermentation expertise, combined with our large API/formulation manufacturing capabilities, gives us a strong head start for growth. In our efforts to maximize access, we are looking to register our formulations with the national drug regulatory authority in more than 20 high disease burden countries to support the fight towards eradication of TB.

We are excited about our association with international and national public health organizations in the treatment of HIV patients in low and middleincome countries. As with TB, we are backwardly

availability of APIs, enabling patient access to qualityassured medications at affordable prices.

The pandemic has significantly impacted TB eradication programs across TB burdened nations, resulting in a significant decrease in TB notification rates. Globally, TB notification rates dropped by 18% worldwide during the peak of COVID-19 period in 2020, with high burden countries such as India experiencing a drop of almost 41%. The intense focus of various countries on the management of COVID-19 diverted the focus of public health infrastructure towards pandemic-affected individuals. According to the Global TB report 2021, the impact of COVIDrelated disruptions on TB incidence is likely to persist for much longer periods unless rigorous efforts are undertaken by respective stakeholders and governments to reactivate and intensify TB eradication programs. It is expected that this scenario will continue to improve through FY23

integrated to manufacture new anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs and offer high quality medications at affordable prices, while mitigating the risk of disruption in supply. We have received product approval from the US FDA and WHOPQ for a few key ARV products and have begun commercial supplies. Lupin is well-poised to be able to garner significant market share in the ARV segment in the access countries as we have the fundamental requisites of being backward integrated and of having large manufacturing capacities to meet global demand. In FY22, we received the approval under the PEPFAR route of US FDA for our TLD, the key first-line drug used currently in the management of HIV/AIDS.. To date, we are having more than 120 regulatory dossier submissions globally for our ARV medicines of which 30 approvals have already been received.

Industry Trends

Affordable Medicines

The past year has enhanced the need for a greater focus on purpose - where the actions businesses take are for the benefit of all stakeholders – employees, customers, regulators and society – in addition to shareholders.

In line with our vision of providing affordable medicines for our global communities, we continued to develop and launch generics and biosimilars that provide critical savings throughout the healthcare system.

Product Differentiation

With heightened pricing pressure due to higher competitive intensity and consolidation of buying groups, product differentiation has become more and more important. The way to growth is via exclusive

or low competition launches especially in unbranded generic markets. In accordance, Lupin is purposefully scaling up Inhalation, Injectables and Biosimilars across our footprint of global businesses.

Inflationary Trends

The pharma industry is facing rising costs across various line items. High input prices of APIs, key starting materials and excipients, rising packaging, logistics and utility costs have impinged on margins. Accordingly, the industry is witnessing product discontinuations due to margin compression, especially in competitive markets like the U.S.

Emerging Trends in Production Technologies

For generic companies, efficient manufacturing at scale is a must to be globally competitive. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is evolving with these changing market dynamics with newer initiatives such as continuous manufacturing to produce quality products with continuous monitoring. Single-use

bioreactors are being preferred in certain cases as they eliminate need for cleaning and validation between separate production stages. Such technologies help eliminate downtime, lower energy requirements, and are less labour intensive, reducing probability of product defects.

Emerging Geo-Political Issues And Their Impact On Pharma Production

COVID-19 exemplified the susceptibility of pharmaceutical supply chains to large demand shifts and supply shocks caused by geopolitical tensions, and sole-sourced suppliers. Due to the emerging geo-political issues, the pharmaceutical industry supply chain has been impacted due to delay and disruption in the movement of goods because of

their dependency on China for APIs and excipients. Accordingly, companies have made supply chain resilience as one of the near-term priorities, and enhanced efforts to detect vulnerability in their supply chain and collaborate with suppliers to improve planning and build competencies.

Environmental Health and Safety

At Lupin Limited, we believe that Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Management Systems are the key for our sustainable business growth and our continuous efforts are to embed EHS in every aspect of the business way beyond compliance. We have well defined Environment, Health and Safety and Sustainability (EHS&S) Policy, applicable across the organization. The EHS&S policy covers the fundamentals of not only complying with the regulatory requirements but also excelling in improving the EHS performance through continual improvement. The EHS policy has a guiding principle for identifying, addressing and eliminating or mitigating any impacts/risks arising from the resource utilisation, processes, unsafe working conditions, waste, effluent generation or emissions. We value the Environment, health and safety of the people above all priorities and understand the need for pollution prevention. EHS management system is the integrated part of our business at all manufacturing locations including R&D. At Lupin we ensure all legal compliances with the mandates of the governing legislations all the time. We ensure to protect and promote the Health & Safety of people working within our facilities including contractors, visitors. We always ensure that the technological improvements in our facility establishments, maintenance and operational practices are ensured to minimize the risks and associated health hazards. We have well established process of hazards identification Risk Control measures across the value chain. These risks are checked on periodical basis to ensure the effectiveness of the controls. What is the Risk? What is the Impact? What actions are taken?

At Lupin we have initiated various measures in support of resource conservation, pollution prevention and protection of Environment which includes but not limited to:

  • Energy Conservation measures by implementing Renewable Energy Programs like use of Solar Energy, Wind energy etc.
  • At source reduction measures and reducing and recycling of the water.

  • As a responsible organization, we are collecting post-consumer plastic sent to the domestic market along with our products and sending the same to recyclers or co-processors.

Cyber Security & Data Privacy

Lupin's information protection risk is one of the principle enterprise risks. An attack on company's IT systems or non-compliance with data privacy laws can lead to loss of critical business intelligence, financial loss and loss of reputation. The relevance of this risk has been made even more acute due to COVID-19 requiring office-based workforce moving to a work-from-home model. The increase in remote working calls for a greater focus on cybersecurity, because of the greater exposure to cyber risk. Cyber-attackers see the pandemic as an opportunity to step up their criminal activities by exploiting the vulnerability of employees working from home. Privacy protection and cyber security should be thought of as interconnected: as more and more personal information is processed or stored online, privacy protection increasingly relies on effective cyber security implementation by organizations to secure personal data both when it is in transit and at rest. Cyber security is by no means a static issue with a permanent solution. Threats to information in cyberspace evolve quickly and, more recently, have expanded into new channels such as social media and mobile technologies. As organizations strive to keep pace with the changing landscape created by innovative technologies, social practices and ever-changing threats, data produced, collected and collated on a massive scale can be left vulnerable to those cyber threats. The following are some of the emerging challenges for data protection and cyber security. a) Complexity of the connected environment: Cyberspace has become inherently complex to manage and challenging to secure due to continuous evolution of cyberspace and data elements continually being combined, connected, compared and linked to other information. b) Growing sophistication of the threat: Our data trails now leave a larger footprint across cyberspace, leaving us more exposed to threats. c) Threats are moving to the mobile sphere: As cyber threats increasingly target mobile devices, data protection becomes all the more critical. Communications and transactions using mobile devices are more closely tied with individual users. What is the Risk? What is the Impact?

Governance

Our Corporate Governance Approach

Our Board of Directors

Our Approach to Corporate Governance

Good corporate governance is fundamental and central to Lupin's business, extending beyond mere legislative and regulatory compliance. Strong leadership as well as effective policies and practices have been the hallmark of our operations, rooted in our core values and culture. This enables effective management of our business and forms the foundation for trust in our company for all our stakeholders, enhancing our ability to drive and deliver value.

As a responsible corporate citizen, Lupin is built on the pillars of commitment, honesty, integrity, and transparency in dealings where substance overrides form. Forming an integral part of the culture, these pillars guide business strategies, enable fiscal accountability and ethical corporate behavior while ensuring fairness to all our stakeholders including regulators, employees, suppliers, customers, vendors, investors, and the community.

Our corporate governance philosophy is built on:

  • Equity in dealings with all stakeholders and upholding their trust
  • Going beyond regulatory requirements to satisfy the spirit of the law
  • Ensuring transparency and maintaining a high level of disclosure
  • Clear and transparent communication with respect to the workings of the company

Code of Conduct

With a strong governance framework that forms the basis for sustainable growth, Lupin has consistently expanded its global footprint and leadership in a driven business environment. We believe in acknowledging, accepting, and adhering to the highest standards of ethical conduct, thereby creating trust and responsibility amongst our stakeholders. This framework, along with the internal controls and systems supports our financial performance and provides long-term value creation.

We have formalized a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for all employees, Directors and officers. In addition, all Lupin business partners, including joint ventures, who are working on our behalf or in our name, through outsourcing of services, processes or any business activity, are required to act in alignment with this Code. The Code encourages trust, integrity, professionalism and excellence in all our employees, customers and business partners and outlines a set of rules and regulations that govern behavior . It is supplemented by the Code of Ethics that serves as a moral compass to guide all our actions. It has been designed to guide ethical and effective decision-making aligned to Lupin's core values, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. It underpins integrity, objectivity, professional competence, professional behavior and respect for each other as the guiding principles behind all our decision making.

Board of Directors

Strong corporate governance practices enhance trust, transparency, and accountability necessary for fostering long-term investment, financial stability, and business integrity, thereby fostering stronger economic growth and more inclusive societies. Lupin strongly believes in creating a positive impact on the lives of people through the adoption of the highest standards of corporate governance. Our diversified Board consists of highly experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds, including people with international experience in the pharmaceutical industry and beyond, who bring together varied perspectives and skills. The leadership team is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of management policies, setting corporate objectives, providing strategic direction and standing as a pillar for the senior management to drive growth and generate shareholder value.

Independent Board committees engage throughout the year to review and deliver best-in-class governance practices to remain effective. Decisions by the Board, its committees and other governance structures are made in good faith to promote the success of Lupin for the benefit of our stakeholders.

Board Committees

The Board has constituted several committees with clearly defined roles and responsibilities to ensure that every issue is effectively focused upon and there is expedited resolution on diverse matters. These committees meet at regular intervals in terms of a preset cadence, deliberate on matters of a technical or specialist nature and provide counsel and advise to the statutory Board. The Key Committees of the Board are:

  • Audit Committee
  • Corporate Social Responsibility Committee
  • Nomination, Remuneration Committee
  • Stakeholders Relationship Committee
  • Risk Management Committee

The committees are manned with members of the Board who have specific skills and knowledge of the topics and themes that are covered by the committees. This helps in a more intense discussion at the committee level, and inputs from the committee are used to brief the board or for further discussion by the broader board.

Our Approach to ESG Governance

Our ESG approach is inextricably linked into the way we do business and is an extension of our endeavors to serve patients and the society at large. Our endeavor is to pursue a business model that is environmentally sustainable, commercially viable from a long-term business proposition, and caters to the

needs of the community. From our perspective, given the changing landscape in terms of global warming, geo-political and societal tensions, nationalistic fervor and rising expectations from all stakeholders, intertwining our business objectives with active ESG goals is an absolute imperative.

In FY21, we embarked on our ESG journey by laying a foundation that embeds ESG aspects within our core business strategy. In FY22, our work acquired greater depth and is now well-entrenched into our governance structure and approach to doing business.

Chaired by our Global CFO & Head Corporate Affairs , we formed the ESG Core Committee to provide accountability for ESG-related risks and opportunities as well as undertake responsibility for the implementation of the ESG strategy. To warrant

that ESG integration permeates within all operations, the members of the ESG Core Committee constitute of business function heads who align the goals of their functions with the ESG objectives of Lupin. The ESG Core Committee is also responsible for reporting on the priorities and progress to the Board of Directors.

At Lupin, the conversations with respect to ESG action and impact are now driving boardroom conversations and these aspects are being embraced in our decision-making processes. Material issues that are relevant to our company and reviewed by our corporate governance structure are covered in the chapter "Materiality Assessment – FY22".

  • Fair value calculated by using Black-Scholes option pricing model.
  • • Share price: The closing price on NSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted.
  • • Exercise Price: Exercise Price is the face value of share or such other price as determined by the Remuneration and Compensation Committee.
  • • Expected Volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.
  • • Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.
  • • Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for four years preceding the date of the grant.
  • • Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero-coupon yield curve for Government Securities.

Corporate Governance Report

[1] Company's Philosophy on Corporate Governance:

Corporate governance has been an integral part of the Company's legacy, where actions are governed by core values and good governance is a way of life. Ethical practices are implemented across all levels in the Company to maximise stakeholders' value while emphasizing on accountability, transparency, responsibility and fairness in business operations. Strong leadership combined with good governance practices has been the inherent strength of the Company. The Board and its Committees guide, support and help the management implement corporate governance initiatives across the Company.

The Company aims at reaching out to people and touching lives globally by adopting the best standards of corporate governance. The Board is diversified in the true sense whose members possess wide experience in pharma business, finance and general management. The Board has an optimum blend of executive, non-executive and independent directors who ensure that highest standards of corporate governance are nurtured and put into practice. In addition to being compliant with all mandatory requirements, the Company has also complied with non-mandatory requirements stipulated under Regulation 27(1) read with Part E of Schedule II of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (Listing Regulations), as regards unmodified audit opinions on financial statements, appointment of separate persons as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director and maintaining line of reporting of the Head of Internal Audit to the Audit Committee.

Transparency, accountability, integrity and professionalism are deeply embedded in the Company's culture which supports implementing the philosophy of corporate governance. As a testament of its robust governance practices, the Company enforces Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (CODE) and empowers employees to report concerns on actual or suspected violations of the CODE. Employees are at liberty to raise their concerns without any fear of retaliation or retribution and even report their concerns anonymously. Periodic communications from the leadership team reiterate the importance of the

CODE. Company's operations are guided by strong control systems which are reviewed by both internal and external auditors at regular intervals.

Codes of Conduct adopted for directors (including independent directors) and senior management personnel have been hosted on the website of the Company (www.lupin.com). In compliance with Regulation 26(3) of the Listing Regulations, all directors and senior management personnel have affirmed compliance with their respective codes for the year ended March 31, 2022 and a declaration by Mr. Nilesh D. Gupta, Managing Director, to this effect is annexed to this report in compliance with Schedule V(D) of the Listing Regulations.

Initiatives like code of conduct, whistleblower policy and prevention of workplace harassment empowers employees to report suspected wrongdoings or fraudulent business practices against anyone in the organisation, irrespective of the grade or hierarchy, without any fear. A mechanism is in place, for the Office of Ombudsperson, to respond in a prompt and professional manner, to the concerns raised. Office of the Ombudsperson is the appointed authority to receive, respond and investigate all offences within the scope of the whistleblower policy. The said policy is placed on the Company's website https://www.lupin.com/wp-content/ uploads/2022/02/Whistleblower-Policy-Website. pdf. During the year, the Ombudsperson received 24 complaints, mostly of minor nature, which were investigated/examined and satisfactorily resolved by teams comprising SBU heads/officers appointed by the Ombudsperson. The Company did not receive any complaint of sexual harassment during the year. No personnel was denied access to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The Company has an in-built mechanism and sound systems of internal checks and balances which are continuously evaluated and updated. The Company is committed to guard and protect its information and provides assurance to its internal and external stakeholders through highly secured privacy framework. To counter the ever-evolving threat landscape, the Company has, with its dedicated efforts, ensured evolvement of secure technologies and processes. Information security management system program under the brand name 'KAVACH' has been implemented. With technology orchestration, KAVACH protects Company

information by adopting appropriate policies, procedures and guidelines. In order to protect end users from spam/phishing mails/cyber frauds, KAVACH regularly shares security advisories over e-mails. The Company recently imparted training on cyber security. The Company has been accredited ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification for its information security management systems at select locations viz. Head office, Pune research park, manufacturing facilities at Biotech, Mandideep, Pithampur, Ankleshwar and Visakhapatnam with plans afoot to add more locations in FY 2023. Information security commitment has also been extended to global locations viz. USA, EMEA, APAC and LATAM regions under project 'SHIELD' to provide information security assurance to stakeholders.

Directors and members of the senior management are covered under Directors and Officers Insurance (D&O) policy.

The Company is in compliance with Chapter IV of the Listing Regulations on Corporate Governance.

A detailed Management Discussion and Analysis forms part of the Integrated Report.

Board Diversity

Lupin recognizes and embraces the importance of a diverse Board in its success. In designing the Board's composition, Board diversity has been considered from a number of aspects, including but not limited to culture, gender, age, geographical background, industry experience, skill and knowledge. The board diversity policy is available on our website, https://www.lupin.com/investors/policies/.

Directors Independence

The Independent Directors demonstrate an appropriate degree of independence in character and judgement and are free from any business or other relationship which could materially interfere with the exercise of their judgement.

Board Composition & Number of Meetings

The Board strength as on March 31, 2022, was ten, comprising two executive promoter-directors, one non-executive promoter-director, one non-executive director, one executive director and five independent directors, which is in conformity with the provisions of Section 149 of the Companies Act, 2013 (Act) and Rules made thereunder and Regulation 17 of the Listing Regulations. The Board has four women directors of which, two are independent directors. No director has been disqualified by SEBI, Ministry of Corporate Affairs or any statutory authority from being appointed or continuing as director of the Company and the same has been certified by Ms. Neena Bhatia, Practising Company Secretary, as prescribed by Schedule V(C)(10)(i) of the Listing Regulations. Though Regulation 17(1)(a) of the Listing Regulations mandates appointment of one independent woman director, the Company has two independent women directors on the Board. In compliance with Regulation 25(8) of the Listing Regulations, all independent directors have confirmed that they meet the criteria of independence prescribed in Regulation 16(1) (b) of the Listing Regulations and Section 149(6) of the Act and Rules made thereunder. In compliance with Rule 6 of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules, 2014, the Company has received confirmation from all independent directors as regards registration with the independent directors databank maintained by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs. As stipulated under Regulation 17(10) of the Listing Regulations, the Board carried out performance evaluation of independent directors without participation of the Director being evaluated. The performance evaluation was carried out based on different parameters like leadership qualities, contributions, knowledge, inter-personal relationships, initiative, understanding the strategic issues/business environment, independent judgement and analytical skills. There were no conflicts of interest of independent directors with the Company. The Board acknowledged the fact that independent directors are a diversified group of recognised professionals with wide horizon of knowledge, competence and integrity, who expressed their opinions freely and exercised their own judgements in decision-making. In the opinion of the Board, all independent directors fulfill the criteria of independence as specified in the Act and the Listing Regulations and are independent of the management.

Our GHG emission reduction initiatives have been enlisted in the manufacturing capital and natural capital section of the Integrated Report. We have also adopted an ambitious target to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 15% by 2030. Our GHG emission reductions include:

  • Transition to natural gas in Tarapur and Pithampur, which is less emission intensive than furnace oil.
  • The contribution of renewable power at our Ankleshwar and Dabhasa site in FY22 has increased by 5.30 MW by switching to a hybrid renewable power model comprising wind and solar.
  • The procurement of renewable electricity is critical for us to reduce our dependence on the grid electricity generated from fossil fuels. We are exploring ways to increase the procurement of renewable energy from the grid.
  • We also replaced old conventional luminaries by energy-efficient LED lights. A total of 4,404 lights were replaced at Mandideep, Ankleshwar, Vizag and Dabhasa.
  • We have replaced AC motors with DC electronically commuted motors in AHU's, which has resulted in energy efficiency and power cost savings

Our commitment to climate stewardship also contributes to product innovation in the development phase. Lupin Healthcare UK's product, Luforbec has recently achieved Carbon neutrality certification. Lupin Healthcare offsets the total emissions from the production, use and disposal of the inhaler, thus achieving carbon neutrality. This is expected to significantly augment the NHS' green agenda to achieve net zero emissions.

9. Briefly describe the waste management practices adopted in your establishments. Describe the strategy adopted by your company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the practices adopted to manage such wastes.

Lupin strives to embed principles of circularity and waste recycling to reduce waste disposal to landfills or incineration. The incinerable hazardous waste generated at the site is sent for co-processing/ pre-processing in cement plants instead of incineration.

Spent solvents generated in the API manufacturing processes are either recovered and reused in-situ or sent to the authorized recyclers or registered disposal facilities. Further as a part of our resource conservation initiatives the spent calcium sulphate is sent to the cement plants for utilizing this as alternate fuel and raw material in their operations.

Non-hazardous waste from our operations, such as canteen wastes, and mycelia wastes are either sent to piggeries or composted to convert it into usable organic fertilizer. The agro-waste boiler ash was sent for brick manufacturing, soil enrichment and landfilling.

We are committed to minimizing waste by:

  • Encouraging non-hazardous and less toxic materials during the inventory/purchase process
  • Sourcing equipment that produces zero waste or minimal hazardous waste
  • Using longer life chemical products
  • Training employees on safe handling, labelling and storage of hazardous products

All of our waste management practices have been detailed in the Natural Capital section of the Integrated Report

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of Lupin Limited

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Lupin Limited and its employee welfare trust (hereinafter referred to as the "Holding Company") and its subsidiaries (Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as "the Group") and its joint venture, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2022, and the consolidated statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as "the consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, and based on the consideration of reports of other auditors on separate financial statements/financial information of such subsidiaries and joint venture as were audited by the other auditors, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the consolidated state of affairs of the Group and joint venture as at 31 March 2022, of its consolidated loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and joint venture in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in terms of the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the relevant provisions of the Act, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us along with the consideration of audit reports of other auditors referred to in paragraph (a) of the "Other Matters" section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment and based on the consideration of audit reports of other auditors on separate financial statements of components audited by them, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of Key Audit Matters:

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

1. Revenue Recognition:

Refer note 1 B(m) of significant accounting policies and note 38 in consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products is recognized when control over goods is transferred to a customer. The actual point in time when revenue is recognised varies depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contracts entered into with customers. The Group has a large number of customers operating in various geographies and sales contracts with customers have distinct terms relating to the recognition of revenue, the right of return and price adjustments.

We identified the recognition of revenue from sale of products as a key audit matter considering:

• Revenue is a key performance indicator for the Group. Accordingly, there could be pressure to meet the expectations of investors/other stakeholders and/ or to meet revenue targets stipulated in performance incentive schemes for a reporting period. We have considered that there is a risk of fraud related to revenue being overstated by recognition in the wrong period or before control has passed.

To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures and procedures performed by component auditors amongst others included the following:

  • Compared the accounting policies in respect of revenue recognition with applicable accounting standards to ensure compliance;
  • Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the Group's internal controls including general IT controls and key IT application controls over recognition of revenue;
  • Performed substantive testing of selected samples of revenue transactions recorded during the year;
  • For a sample of year-end sales, verified contractual terms of sales invoices/contracts, shipping documents and acknowledged delivery receipts for those transactions including management assessment and quantification of any sales reversal for undelivered goods; and
  • Tested any unusual non-standard manual journal entries impacting revenue recognized during the year.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

2. Intangible Assets:

Refer note I B(d)&(g) of significant accounting policies and note 53 in consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of Intangible Assets including In Process Research and Development (IPR&D) aggregate to Rs. 10,065 million as at 31 March 2022. IPR&D are tested for impairment annually and other intangible assets are evaluated for any indicators of impairment annually at each cash generating unit (CGU) level. The recoverable amount of the CGUs, being the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal, is compared with the carrying value to identify any impairment. Value in use is usually derived from discounted future cash flows. The discounted cash flow model uses several assumptions. These include long term growth rate, discount rate, terminal value growth rates, potential product obsolescence, new product launches and the weighted average cost of capital.

Considering the inherent uncertainty, subjectivity and judgment involved and the significance of the value of the assets and impairment recorded with respect to certain intangible assets during the year, impairment assessment of intangible assets has been considered as a key audit matter.

To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures and procedures performed by component auditors amongst others included the following:

  • Tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over impairment assessment including approval of forecasts and valuation models used;
  • Assessed the valuation methodology used and testing the mathematical accuracy of the impairment models;
  • Assessed identification of CGUs with reference to the guidance in the applicable accounting standards;
  • Evaluated valuation assumptions with macroeconomic factors, such as discount rates, growth in sales, probability of success of new products, operating and selling costs used, in consultation with valuation specialist where required;
  • Performed sensitivity analysis of key assumptions. These include future revenue growth rates, related costs and the discount rate applied in the valuation models;
  • Evaluated past performances where relevant and historical accuracy of the forecasts made;

3. Uncertain tax positions (UTPs):

Refer note I B (k) & (r) of significant accounting policies and notes 36 & 44 in consolidated financial statements.

The Group is subject to complexities arising from various tax positions on deductibility of expenses as well as allowability of tax incentives/exemptions. These are subject to periodic challenges by local tax authorities leading to protracted litigations. There are a number of open tax matters under litigation with tax authorities over a number of years.

The range of possible outcomes for provisions and contingencies can be wide. Judgement is required to estimates the tax exposures and contingencies.

Provision for current tax, assessment/judgment of UTPs have been identified as a key audit matter due to the inherent complexity in the underlying tax laws and the extent of judgement involved in developing these estimates.

To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures included, amongst others, the following:

  • Tested the design and operating effectiveness of the management review control over ascertaining completeness and adequacy of provision/disclosures of UTPs;
  • Evaluated the adequacy of related provisions in consultation with tax specialists by considering changes to business and tax legislation,
  • Made relevant enquires and read correspondence with authorities where relevant;
  • Verified the calculation for current tax provision. Analyzed the rationale for any release, increase or continued provision during the year; and
  • Examined Management's judgments with respect to probability of outflow arising from outstanding litigations after considering the status of recent tax assessments, audits and enquiries, recent judicial pronouncements and judgments in similar matters. Also consider developments in the tax environment and outcome of past litigations.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

4. Goodwill:

Refer note no. 1 B(g) of significant accounting policies and note 49 in consolidated financial statements.

The carrying value of goodwill aggregate to Rs. 21,241 million as at 31 March 2022. Goodwill is evaluated for any indicators of impairment annually as required under Ind AS 36.

The group assesses impairment triggers with respect to goodwill annually, at each cash generating unit (CGU) level. The recoverable amount of the CG Us, being the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs of disposal, is compared with the carrying value to identify any impairment. Value in use is usually derived from discounted future cash flows. The discounted cash flow model uses several assumptions. These include estimates of long term growth rate, discount rate, terminal value growth rates, potential product obsolescence, new product launches and the weighted average cost of capital.

Considering the inherent uncertainty, subjectivity and judgment involved and the significance of the value of the goodwill, impairment assessment of goodwill has been considered as a key audit matter.

To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures and procedures performed by component auditors amongst others included the following:

  • Tested the design and operating effectiveness of controls over impairment assessment including approval of forecasts and valuation models used;
  • Assessed the valuation methodology used and testing the mathematical accuracy of the impairment models;
  • Assessed identification of CGUs with reference to the guidance in the applicable accounting standards;
  • Evaluated valuation assumptions with macroeconomic factors, such as discount rates, growth in sales, probability of success of new products, operating and selling costs used, in consultation with valuation specialist;
  • Performed sensitivity analysis of key assumptions. These include future revenue growth rates, related costs and the discount rate applied in the valuation models; and
  • Evaluated past performances where relevant and historical accuracy of the forecasts made.

5. Contingencies and Litigations:

Refer note I B(r) of significant accounting policies and note 36 in consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of the estimate of the provision for outstanding litigation, claims and assessments involves subjective judgments or uncertainties , which requires special audit consideration because of the likelihood and potential magnitude of misstatements of the provision, claims and assessments. These litigations are inherent to the business of the Group. Based on company's assessment of the possible outcome of these litigations, the same has been recognized as liability or disclosed as contingent Liability.

We assessed the appropriateness of the provisions for litigations and claims and to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures will include the following:

  • Tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Group's controls over assessment of contingencies, claims and litigations;
  • We have assessed the summary of litigation matters provided by management and held discussions with the Group's legal counsel where required for gaining an understanding of the outstanding matters;
  • Verified management's judgments with respect to probability of outflow arising out of litigation after considering the status of litigation, recent judicial pronouncements and judgments in similar matters etc.
  • We have obtained and substantively tested evidence to support the decisions and rationale for provisions held or the decisions not to record provisions, including correspondence with legal counsel and with relevant regulatory authorities;
  • We have assessed the assumptions against third party data (legal opinions), where available, and will assess the estimates against historical trends; and
  • Evaluated adequacy of disclosures given in the consolidated financial statements.

Other Information

The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Holding Company's annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done/audit report of other auditors, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's and Board of Directors' Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Holding Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated financial statements in term of the requirements of the Act that give a true and fair view of the consolidated state of affairs, consolidated loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group including its joint venture in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of each company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; the selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used

for the purpose of preparation of the consolidated financial statements by the Management and Board of Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for assessing the ability of each company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its joint venture are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the

Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of consolidated financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the appropriateness of this assumption. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its joint venture to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements/financial information of such entities or business activities within the Group and its joint venture to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the financial statements/financial information of such entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the consolidated financial statements, which have been audited by other auditors, such other auditors remain responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Our responsibilities in this regard are further described in paragraph (a) of the section titled "Other Matters" in this audit report.

We communicate with those charged with governance of the Holding Company and such other entities included in the consolidated financial statements of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Matters

(a) We did not audit the financial statements/financial information of 26 subsidiaries, whose financial statements/financial information reflect total assets (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs.230,932.15 million as at 31 March 2022, total revenues (before consolidation adjustments) of Rs.114,536.39 million and net cash flows (before consolidation adjustments) amounting to Rs.1,582.34 million for the year ended on that date, as considered in the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements also include the Group's share of net loss (and other comprehensive income) of Rs. 15.77 million for the year ended 31 March 2022, in respect of one joint venture, whose financial statements/financial information have not been audited by us.

Annexure B to the Independent Auditors' report on the consolidated financial statements of Lupin Limited for the year ended 31 March 2022

Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid consolidated financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013

(Referred to in paragraph A(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

Opinion

In conjunction with our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended 31 March 2022, we have audited the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements of Lupin Limited (hereinafter referred to as "the Holding Company") and such companies incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013 which are its subsidiary company, as of that date.

In our opinion, the Holding Company and such companies incorporated in India which are its subsidiary company, have, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2022, based on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements criteria established by such companies considering the essential components of such internal controls stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The respective Company's management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements based on the criteria established by the respective Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to the respective company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act").

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements were established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the audit evidence obtained by the other auditors of the relevant subsidiary companies in terms of their reports referred to in the Other Matters paragraph below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial controls with Reference to Consolidated Financial Statements

A company's internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial controls with Reference to consolidated Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated

financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Other Matters

Our aforesaid reports under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the internal financial controls with reference to consolidated financial statements insofar as it relates to one subsidiary company, which is incorporated in India, is based on the corresponding report of the auditors of such company incorporated in India.

1B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a) Basis of accounting and preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements: Basis of preparation

i) These Consolidated Financial Statements (hereinafter referred to as 'Consolidated Financial Statements') of Lupin Limited ('the Company') and its subsidiaries and its Jointly controlled entity (hereinafter referred to as 'the Group'), have been prepared in all material aspects in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act and accounting principles generally accepted in India. These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on May 18, 2022.

Functional and Presentation Currency

ii) These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the parent Company. All financial information presented in Indian rupees has been rounded to the nearest million, except otherwise indicated.

Basis of measurement

iii) These Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Significant Estimates and Judgements

iv) The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognized in the periods in which the results are known/materialized. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis

Information about critical judgments made in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are included in the following accounting policies.

  • Measurement and likelihood of occurrence of provisions and contingencies (Refer note r)
  • Impairment of non- financial assets (Refer note g)
  • Goodwill impairment (Refer note g)
  • Provision for Income Taxes and uncertain tax Positions (Refer note k)
  • Impairment of financial assets (Refer note i)

b) Principles of Consolidation: Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) that are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company is exposed to or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

are substantive. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and a jointly controlled entity have been consolidated using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances as mentioned in those policies.

Upon loss of control, the Group derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If the Company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently, it is accounted for as an equity accounted investee depending on the level of influence retained.

Joint ventures (equity accounted investees)

A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Investments in jointly controlled entity is accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying value of the Company's investment includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses. The Company does not consolidate entities where the non-controlling interest ("NCI") holders have certain significant participating rights that provide for effective involvement in significant decisions in the ordinary course of business of such entities. Investments in such entities are accounted by the equity method of accounting. When the Company's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in full while preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements. Unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company's interest in the investee.

Non-controlling interests ("NCI")

NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition.

Changes in the Group's equity interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

c) Property, Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:

  • I. Recognition and Measurement Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
  • its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
  • any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management.
  • the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Group incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
  • income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Freehold land is carried at Historical cost.

Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.

II. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

III. Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated in India has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on independent technical evaluation and management's assessment thereof, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.

Particulars Estimated Useful Life
Leasehold Land Over the period of lease
Improvements on
Leased Premises
Over the period of lease
Building 5 to 80 years
Plant and Equipment 10 to 15 years
Office Equipment 4 years
(Desktop and Laptop)

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment of the Company's foreign subsidiaries and a jointly controlled entity has been provided on straight-line method as per the estimated useful life of such assets as follows:

Particulars Estimated Useful Life
Buildings 5 to 50 years
Improvements on
Leased Premises
Over the period of lease
Plant and Equipment1 3 to 20 years
Furniture and Fixtures 2 to 20 years
Vehicles1 3 to 7 years
Office Equipment 2 to 21 years

1.Assets acquired on lease are depreciated based on straight line method over their respective lease periods.

Depreciation method, useful live and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).

d) Intangible assets:

I. Recognition and Measurement

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Expenditure on research and development eligible for capitalisation are carried as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.

II. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

III. Derecognistion of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are de-recognised either on their disposal or where no future economic benefits are expected from their use. Losses arising on such de-recognition are recorded in the consolidated profit or loss, and are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of respective intangible assets as on the date of de-recognition.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

IV. Amortization

Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life on Straight Line Method as follows:

Particulars Estimated Useful Life
Computer Software 2 to 6 years
Trademark and Licenses 3 to 13 years
Dossiers/Marketing Rights 5 to 20 years

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets and the amortization period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortization method is revised to reflect the changed pattern, if any.

e) Non-current assets held for sale:

Assets are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if the asset is available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable. Such assets or group of assets are presented separately in the Balance Sheet as "Assets Classified as Held for Sale". Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated.

f) Research and Development:

Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Development costs of products are also charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless a product's technological feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalised. These costs are charged to the respective heads in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred. The amount capitalised comprises of expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis for creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, Plant and Equipment utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, Plant and Equipment.

Expenditure on in-licensed development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised, if the cost can be reliably measured, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the

Group has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use and sell the asset.

Payments to third parties that generally take the form of up-front payments and milestones for in-licensed products, compounds and intellectual property are capitalised since the probability of expected future economic benefits criterion is always considered to be satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets.

g) Impairment of non-financial assets:

The carrying values of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment exists.

If the carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognized for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount rate.

When there is indication that an impairment loss recognized for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the amount was previously charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets, such reversal is not recognized.

Goodwill impairment

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. If events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment, as part of the review process, the carrying amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) (including allocated goodwill) is compared with its recoverable amount by the Group. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use, both of which are calculated by the

Notes Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Group using a discounted cash flow analysis. Calculating the future net cash flows expected to be generated to determine if impairment exists and to calculate the impairment involves significant assumptions, estimation and judgment. The estimation and judgment involves, but is not limited to, industry trends including pricing, estimating long-term revenues, revenue growth and operating expenses.

Impairment of CMPs/ANDA filings/Acquired In-Process Research & Development

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are subject to amortization. Intangibles Assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts of the intangible assets are estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Such impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Intangible Assets under development are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable and have suffered an impairment loss.

Management judgement is required in the area of intangible asset impairment, particularly in assessing: (1) whether an event has occurred that may indicate that the related asset values may not be recoverable; (2) whether the carrying value of an asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell or net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset in the Group.

h) Foreign Currency Transactions/Translations:

  • i) Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of entities within the Group at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
  • ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate of the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that

are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

  • iii) Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items (except for long term monetary items outstanding as at March 31, 2016) at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial statements are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.
  • iv) In case of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the parent company's functional currency, the assets and liabilities of such foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising upon acquisition, are translated to the reporting currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of such foreign operations are translated to the reporting currency at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented within equity as part of FCTR. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the FCTR is reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as a part of gain or loss on disposal.

i) Financial Instruments:

I. Financial Assets

Classification

On initial recognition the Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement All financial assets (not measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial assets at amortized cost

A 'financial asset' is measured at the amortized cost if both the following conditions are met:

  • i) The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
  • ii) Contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

Financial assets included within the fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind-AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Group decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or FVTPL. The Group makes such election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e. removed from the Group's financial statements) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either:
  • i) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
  • ii) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets In accordance with Ind-AS 109, the Group applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

  • i) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortized cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, and bank balance.
  • ii) Trade receivables.

The Group follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

II. Financial Liabilities

Classification

The Group classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortized cost, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value, through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, at amortized cost (loans, borrowings and payables) or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind-AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognized.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

Embedded derivatives

If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope Ind-AS 109, the Group does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows.

Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Derivative financial instruments The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value.

Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Hedge Accounting

The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Group designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles. These forward contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognized directly in Other Comprehensive Income ('OCI') and accumulated in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" are reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognized in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is immediately transferred to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

III. Measurement

The Group determines the fair value of its financial instruments on the basis of the following hierarchy:

  • (a) Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments quoted in active markets is based on their quoted closing price at the balance sheet date.
  • (b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

active market is determined by using valuation techniques using observable market data. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, standard valuation models based on market parameters for interest rates, yield curves or foreign exchange rates, dealer quotes for similar instruments and use of comparable arm's length transactions.

(c) Level 3: The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

j) Business combinations:

  • i) The Group accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. The acquisition date is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgment is applied in determining the acquisition date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
  • ii) Control exists when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered only if the rights are substantive.
  • iii) The Company measures goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including contingent liabilities in case such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably). When the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognized as capital reserve.
  • iv) Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the Company to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Company. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Consideration

transferred does not include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships.

  • v) Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
  • vi) Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination, such as finder's fees, legal fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
  • vii) On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets.
  • viii)Any goodwill that arises on account of such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
  • ix) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. The difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity.

k) Income tax:

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the statement of profit and loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Group:

  • i) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts; and
  • ii) Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax

Deferred taxes are recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes (including those arising from consolidation adjustments such as unrealised profit on inventory etc.).

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of transaction.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

The Group recognises deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • i) When the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
  • ii) it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax

rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

  • i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
  • ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

Accruals for uncertain tax positions require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognised unless the management based upon its interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter concludes that such benefits will be accepted by the authorities. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts.

l) Inventories:

Inventories of all procured materials, Stock-in-Trade, finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Cost of raw material, packing materials and Stock-in-Trade includes all charges in bringing the goods to their present location and condition, including non-creditable taxes and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, an appropriate share of fixed and variable production overheads, non-creditable duties and taxes as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

m) Revenue Recognition:

Sale of Goods

The majority of the Company's contracts related to product sales include only one performance obligation, which is to deliver products to customers based on purchase orders received. Revenue from sales of products is recognized at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery, which the Company has determined is when physical possession, legal title and risks and rewards of ownership of the products transfer to the customer and the Company is entitled to payment. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreements. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable (after including fair value allocations related to multiple deliverable and/or linked arrangements), net of returns, sales tax/GST and applicable trade discounts, allowances and chargeback. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs billed to the customer.

The Company accounts for sales returns accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Company's estimate of expected sales returns. The Company considers its historical experience of sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Company's business and markets.

Any amount of variable consideration is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method.

The Group disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by Major products/ service line, geography and timing of the revenue recognition.

Income from research services

Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed, or when risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, as applicable.

The Company enters into certain dossier sales, licensing and supply arrangements that, in certain instances, include certain performance obligations. Based on an evaluation of whether or not these obligations are inconsequential or perfunctory, the Company recognise or defer the upfront payments received under these arrangements.

Services Income

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Revenue is recognised at a point in time when the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised services to its customers. Generally, each test represents a separate performance obligation for which revenue is recognised when the test report is generated i.e. when the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Group has assessed that it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation collection centers/channel partners. Accordingly, the revenue has been recognised based on the services rendered to collection centers/channel partners.

Revenues in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets (referred to as unbilled revenue) while invoicing in excess of revenues are classified as contract liabilities (referred to as "unearned revenue").

Interest income

Interest income is recognized with reference to the Effective Interest Rate method.

Dividend income

Dividend from investment is recognized as revenue when right to receive is established.

Income from Export Benefits and Other Incentives

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and/or services are rendered only when there reasonable assurance that the

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.

n) Employee Benefits:

Short term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided and the Group will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

Defined benefit plans

The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed periodically by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (assets) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

Other long-term employee benefits

The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is measured on the basis of a periodical independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

o) Share-based payment transactions:

Employees Stock Options Plans ("ESOPs"): The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The expense is recorded for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The increase in Other Equity recognized in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in equity under "Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve". The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.

Cash-settled Transactions: The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date,with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.

p) Discontinued Operations:

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:

– represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations;

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • is part of a single co‑ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or
  • is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held‑for‑sale.

When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI is re‑presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

q) Leases:

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.

Group as a lessee

The Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative standalone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The Group recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method

from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of- use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Group, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The Group recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in statement of profit and loss.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

r) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

Provision for asset retirement obligations is measured at the present value of the best estimate of the cost of restoration at the time of asset retirement.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are disclosed for

  • i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Group or
  • ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

s) Cash and Cash equivalents:

Cash comprises cash on hand, current accounts and deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), current investments that are convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

t) Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Group incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the effective interest rate (EIR) applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include

interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

Borrowing costs, allocated to qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalisation of such asset are added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.

All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period which they are incurred.

u) Government Grants:

Government grants are initially recognized at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant;

  • In case of capital grants, they are then recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
  • In case of grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognized in Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognized.

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.

v) Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the events for bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

w) Insurance claims:

Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect the ultimate collection.

x) Goods and Services tax input credit:

Goods and Services Tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in which the underlying goods/service received is accounted and when there is reasonable certainty in availing/utilising the credits.

y) Operating cycle:

Based on the nature of products/activities of the Group and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Group has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current as set out in Schedule III of the Act.

1C. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 23, 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, applicable from April 1st, 2022, as below:

Ind AS 103 – Reference to Conceptual Framework

The amendments specify that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date.

Ind AS 103 – Business Combination

Reference to revised Conceptual Framework. For contingent liabilities/levies, clarification is added on how to apply the principles for recognition of contingent liabilities from Ind AS 37. Recognition of contingent assets is not allowed.

Ind AS 16 – Proceeds before intended use

The amendments requires an entity to deduct from the cost of property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use.

Ind AS 37 – Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract

The amendments specify that that the 'cost of fulfilling' a contract comprises the 'costs that relate directly to the contract'. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts.

Ind AS 109 – Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)

The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the '10 percent' test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability.

Ind AS 41 – Taxation in fair value measurements

The amendment removes the requirement in Ind AS 41 for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value. This aligns the fair value measurement in Ind AS 41 with the requirements of Ind AS 113 Fair Value Measurement.

Ind AS 101 - Subsidiary as a first time adopter

First time Adoption of Ind AS – Measurement of Foreign Currency Translation Difference in case of subsidiary/associate/JV's date of transition to Ind AS is subsequent to that of Parent – FCTR in the books of subsidiary/associate/JV can be measured based Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amendments are extensive and the Group will evaluate the same to give effect to them as required by law.

e) Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (LPI) a step-down wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is involved in government investigations and litigation arising from the marketing and promotion of its pharmaceutical products in the United States. In January 2017, LPI and one of its employees were issued subpoenas by Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting documents as part of DOJ's investigation into possible antitrust violations within the generic drug industry. LPI has been cooperating in the ongoing investigation.

In April 2018, LPI was named in both class action and individual cases based on allegations of anticompetitive behavior related to certain products. LPI and one of its employees received a non-party subpoena from the state of Connecticut Attorney General (CAG) related to a civil antitrust case they filed in 2016, requesting documents and other information. In May 2019, 43 state attorneys general, led by the CAG, filed a second lawsuit against 19 companies (including Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) and 15 individuals (including the Lupin employee) with allegations of violations of federal and state antitrust laws. The states claim to have been injured by paying supra-competitive prices for the products they purchased or reimbursed. These civil lawsuits were combined into the collection of similar cases referred to as In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Litigation, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. As the case is still in the early stage, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if any, cannot be made.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

f) In March 2016, Lupin Inc. (LI), a step down subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100% of the equity interest in Gavis and Novel Laboratories, Inc. ("Novel") under a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA). As part of the SPA, LI placed USD 48.4 million in an indemnity escrow account in case the sellers of Novel (Sellers) breach certain representations and warranties. Under the terms of the SPA, LI is indemnified for the damages from such breaches under certain conditions. LI and the Sellers disputed whether the escrowed funds should be released. In November 2020, the dispute was resolved amicably by all parties.

In March 2017, AMRI Global, Inc., ("AMRI"), a pharmaceutical research and manufacturing organization filed a lawsuit against Novel for pre-acquisition behaviours. LI recorded an accrued legal settlement and indemnification asset of USD 8.75 million. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, LI settled the case with AMRI for USD 8.75 million. In addition to the AMRI case, LI believes that there have been several other breaches of the SPA. As a result, LI did not consent to release the funds from the indemnity escrow account.

In November 2020, LI entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Sellers to resolve the disputes between the parties. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, LI received USD 25.0 million dispersed from the indemnity escrow account, with the remaining balance dispersed to the Sellers. Upon receipts of the funds, LI and the Sellers withdrew and dismissed the disputes between the parties. LI recorded USD 16.25 million gain, net of the indemnification asset of USD 8.75 million, related to the case, of which USD 10.25 million (760.6 million) was accounted as Business Compensation and Settlement Income and USD 6.0 million ( 445.3 million) netted-off in legal and professional charges as pertains to reimbursement of legal expenses.

g) From time to time, Lupin Inc. (LI) and its subsidiaries are involved in various intellectual property claims and legal proceedings, which are considered normal to its business, the liability, if any, may fall on Lupin Limited. Some of these litigations has been resolved through settlement agreements with the plaintiffs.

There are no contingent liabilities at the jointly controlled entity as at 31.03.2022 and 31.03.2021.

Future cash outflows in respect of the above, if any, is determinable only on receipt of judgment/ decisions pending with the relevant authorities. The Company does not expect the outcome of the matters stated above to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Group believes that the probability of outflow is low to moderate considering the merits of the case and the ultimate disposition of these matters may not have material adverse effect on its Financial Statements.

The Group does not envisage any likely reimbursements in respect of the above.

The Group is involved in various legal proceedings, including claims against the Group pertaining to Income tax, Excise, Customs, Sales/VAT tax, product liability related claims, employment claims and other regulatory matters relating to conduct of its business. The Group has reviewed all its pending litigations and proceedings and has adequately provided for where provisions are required and disclosed as contingent liability where applicable, in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group carries product liability insurance policy with an amount it believes is sufficient for its needs. In respect of other claims, the Group believes that the probability of outflow is low to moderate considering the merits of the case and the ultimate disposition of these matters may not have material adverse effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sale of goods are made at a point in time and revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of the performance obligations which is typically upon dispatch/delivery depending on the terms of the sale. The Group has a credit evaluation policy based on which the credit limits for the trade receivables are established. There is no significant financing component as the credit period provided by the Group is not significant.

The Group has assessed that it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the performance obligation of collection centers/channel partners. Accordingly, the service income has been recognised based on the services rendered to collection centers/channel partners.

Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed.

The Company enters into certain dossier sales, licensing and supply arrangements that, in certain instances, include certain performance obligations. Based on an evaluation of whether or not these obligations are inconsequential or perfunctory, the Company recognises or defers the upfront payments received under these arrangements.

Variable components such as discounts, chargebacks, rebates, sales returns etc. continues to be recognised as deductions from revenue in compliance with Ind AS 115.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Valuation of stock options

The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black–Scholes option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:

Share Price: The closing price on NSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted.

Exercise Price: Exercise Price is the market price or face value or such other price as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Expected Volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.

Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.

Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for four years preceding the date of the grant.

Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.

These assumptions reflect management's best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company's control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.

B) The provident fund plan of the Company, except at one plant, is operated by "Lupin Limited Employees Provident Fund Trust" ("Trust"), a separate legal entity. Eligible employees receive benefits from the said Provident Fund. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund Plans equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.

The minimum interest rate payable by the Trust to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The Board of Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the schemes and also defines the investment strategy to act in the best interest of the plan participants.

The Company has an obligation to service the shortfall on account of interest generated by the fund and on maturity of fund investments and hence the same has been classified as Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with Ind AS 19 "Employee Benefits". As per the Guidance Note from the Actuarial Society of India, the Company has obtained the actuarial valuation of interest rate obligation in respect of Provident Fund as at March 31, 2022 and based on the same, there is no shortfall towards interest rate obligation.

Based on the actuarial valuation obtained, the following is the details of fund and plan assets.

Management judgment is required in determining provision for income tax, deferred income tax assets and liabilities and recoverability of deferred income tax assets. The recoverability of deferred income tax assets is based on estimates of taxable income and the period over which deferred income tax assets will be recovered. Any changes in future taxable income would impact the recoverability of deferred tax assets. During the year, the company has recognized deferred tax asset of 172.8 million (previous year 279.6 million) on unused tax loss. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that the company will realize the benefits of those recognized deductible differences and tax loss carry forwards.

The current tax in respect of foreign subsidiaries has been computed considering the applicable tax laws and tax rates of the respective countries, as certified by the local tax consultants/local management of the said subsidiaries.

Impairment testing of Goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, carrying amount of goodwill has been allocated to the following Cash Generating Units (CGU's) as follows:

Mexico 4301.5 4043.5
United States of America 7207.1 6952.0
Total 21,241.0 19624.2

Movement in Goodwill is on account of exchange difference on consolidation amounting to 1069.0 million and acquisition of Southern Cross Pharma Pty Ltd amounting to 547.8 million.

The recoverable amounts of the above CGU's have been assessed using a value-in-use model. Value in use is generally calculated as the net present value of the projected post-tax cash flows plus a terminal value of the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated. Initially a post-tax discount rate is applied to calculate the net present value of the post-tax cash flows.

The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below:

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industries and have been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.

The cash flow projections are based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the value in use of cash generating units is better reflected by projections for 10 years due to the business life cycle and longer term gestation of products. The planning horizon reflects the assumptions for short-tomidterm market developments and have been adjusted for the risks of competition, product life cycle etc.

The terminal growth rates used in extrapolating cash flows beyond the planning horizon ranged from -5% to 5% for the year ended March 31, 2022 and from -5% to 6.5% for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to a CGU or group of CGUs. The discount rate is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital for respective CGU or group of CGUs. Post-tax discount rate used ranged from 4% to 16.5% for the year ended March 31, 2022 and from 4.5% to 15.4% for the year ended March 31, 2021.

The Company believes that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which a recoverable amount is based would not cause the aggregate carrying amount to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit.

53. Impairment of IPs

Following our annual impairment review, we have recognized an amount of 8402.1 million (India 68 million and USA 8334.1 million) as impairment charges during the current year in the consolidated profit and loss account in relation to intangible assets. Impairment pertains to acquired brand Solosec ( 7134.9 million) and intangibles acquired as a part of the acquisition of Gavis (` 1267.2 million).

Solosec

Following its acquisition of Symbiomix Therapeutics LLC in October 2017, the Company launched Solosec in FY 2019 and classified the intangible asset as a Currently Marketed Product (CMP), with approximately 40 thousand scripts sold during that fiscal year and increasing to 95 thousand in fiscal year 2020. As with many women's health products and especially newly launched products, COVID-19 impacted sales of Solosec dramatically in FY 2021 resulting in the Company selling only 32 thousand scripts during that year. In FY22, the Company determined that in addition to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on overall demand, health care providers' willingness to prescribe Solosec was further declining due to the increased burden of prior authorization requirements by commercial insurers. As a result, the Company scaled down its commercial infrastructure related to Solosec, including the in-person promotion of Solosec by its contracted team of sales representatives in September 2021. The recent reduction in sales and the Company's decision to scale down its promotional investment related to Solosec led to changes in the expected cash flow assumptions for Solosec. Thus resulting in recognition of impairment charges of ` 7134.9 million.

The impairment had been determined by considering each individual intangible asset as a cash generating unit (CGU) except for IPs under development which had been assessed together as one CGU. Recoverable amount of CGUs for which impairment is done was ` nil. Recoverable amount (i.e. higher of value in use and fair value less cost to sell) of each individual CGU was compared to carrying value and impairment amount was arrived as follows:

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

  • CGUs where carrying value was higher than recoverable amount were impaired and
  • CGUs where recoverable amount was higher than carrying value were carried at carrying value.

The fair value so used is categorized as a level 3 valuation in line with the fair value hierarchy per requirements of Ind AS 113 "Fair Value Measurement" (Ind AS 113).

The fair value had been determined with reference to the discounted cash flow technique.

The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amounts is as mentioned below. The value assigned to the key assumptions represents management's assessment of the future trends in the industry and had been based on historical data from both external and internal sources.

Assumption How Determined
Projected cash flows Based on past experience and adjusted for the following:
- Current market dynamics
- Anticipated competition
- Impact due to COVID 19
Long term growth rate Long term growth rate has been determined with reference to market dynamics of each
individual product
Post-tax risk adjusted
discounting rate
Projected cash flows were discounted to present value at a discount rate that is
commensurate with all risks of ownership and associated risks of realizing the projected
residual profits. Each product category (Currently Marketed Products and approved
ANDAs, Filed ANDAs, and IP R&D) face different risks and accordingly, different discount
rates were determined based on each product category's risk profile. Discount rate was
combination of cost of debt and cost of equity. Cost of equity was estimated using capital
asset pricing model.

The projected cashflows were discounted at post-tax rate of 5.35%. The terminal growth rate was considered at -5%.

The cash flow projections were based on five years specific estimates, five years estimates developed using internal forecasts and a terminal growth rate thereafter considering the life of intangibles being approx. 10 years. The management had considered ten years growth rate since the same appropriately reflects the period over which the future benefits of the intangibles will accrue to the Company.

Based on the assessment carried out as at March 31, 2022, and after considering performance for the full year ended March 31, 2022, no further provision is required.

During the previous year, an impairment charge of ` 339.9 million was recognized.

54. Foreign Currency Translation Reserve represents the net exchange difference on translation of net investment in foreign operations located at Australia, Germany, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, Switzerland, Brazil, USA, Netherlands, UAE and Canada from their local currency to the Indian currency. Consequently, in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standard 21 (Ind AS 21) "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", the exchange rate difference on translation of 1025.5 million (previous year 2066.7 million credited) is credited during the year to such reserve.

55. Patent Litigation Settlement for Glumetza

In September 2019, 12 lawsuits were filed by purchasers of drug Glumetza in the US against several stakeholders including Lupin Limited and its subsidiary Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc., U.S. During September 2021, the Company and its subsidiary, agreed to settle the dispute with respect to antitrust class action filed, without admitting any violation of law. Accordingly, the Company has settled with the two plaintiffs representing a majority of the claims for an amount of USD 252.9 million (18783.8 million) [including USD 4.9 million ( 374.8 million) towards litigation and settlement related expenses]. This amount has been recognized as business compensation expense.

C. Financial risk management:

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • Credit risk;
  • Liquidity risk; and
  • Market risk

The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The board of directors has established the Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The committee reports to the board of directors on its activities.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company, through its training, standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the company's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

i. Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Group establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.

Trade receivables

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates, also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

As at March 31, 2022, the carrying amount of the Group's largest customer (a wholesaler based in North America) was 16724.7 million (previous year 19698.4 million)

181- 365 30.9 17.2
Total 103.1 57.2

Summary of the Group's exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is as follows:

Expected credit loss assessment

The Group allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments, available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.

Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Group to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macroeconomic indicators affecting customers of the Group have not undergone any substantial change, the Group expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue.

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade receivables during the year was as follows:

(` in million)
Particulars 2021-2022 2020-2021
Balance as at the beginning of the year 640.8 532.0
Impairment loss recognised (net) (11.2) 216.5
Amounts written off (213.3) (30.5)
Exchange differences 29.6 (77.2)
Balance as at the year end 445.9 640.8

The impairment loss at March 31, 2022 related to several customers that have defaulted on their payments to the Group and are not expected to be able to pay their outstanding balances, mainly due to economic circumstances.

Cash and cash equivalents

As at the year end, the Group held cash and cash equivalents of 9913.7 million (previous year 9206.3 million). The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks.

Other Bank Balances

Other bank balances are held with banks.

Derivatives

The derivatives are entered into with banks.

Investment in mutual funds, Non-Convertible debentures and Commercial papers

The Group limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities, Non-Convertible debentures and Commercial papers only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Group does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-parties.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets are neither past due nor impaired.

ii. Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.

The Group has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. The Group invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and liquid and liquid plus schemes of mutual funds, non-convertible debentures, commercial papers which carry no/low mark to market risks. The Group monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

iii. Market Risk:

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus, our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs. The Group uses derivatives to manage market risk. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.

Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations in other countries. The functional currency of the Group is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Consequently, the Group uses both derivative instruments, i.e., foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

The Group enters into foreign currency forward contracts which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes to establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of certain payables/receivables.

Forming part of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Group also enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge and manage its foreign currency exposures towards future export earnings. Such derivatives contracts are entered into by the Group for hedging purposes only and are accordingly classified as cash flow hedge.

Sensitivity analysis

A reasonably possible strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against foreign currency at March 31 would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates, if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from borrowings and obligations under finance leases. The interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing borrowings is as follows:

(` in million)
Particulars As at As at
31.03.2022 31.03.2021
Non-Current Borrowings
Fixed rate borrowings - 161.2

Variable rate borrowings 37022.5 47667.0
37023.0 47668.6
Total 38441.6 47829.8

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

The Group does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore, a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency exchange rates, remain constant.

Particulars Profit or (loss)
100 bp increase 100 bp decrease
Cash flow sensitivity (net)
March 31, 2022
Variable-rate borrowings (384.4) 384.4
March 31, 2021
Variable-rate borrowings (476.7) 476.7

The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.

Commodity rate risk

The Group's operating activities involve purchase and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), whose prices are exposed to the risk of fluctuation over short periods of time. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through procurement and other related operating policies. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 the Group had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

60. Capital Management:

The Group's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Group monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'total equity'. For this purpose, adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities, comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances and current investments.

The Group's policy is to keep the ratio below 1.5. The Company's adjusted net debt to total equity ratio at March 31, 2022 was as follows:

(` in million)
Particulars As at As at
31.03.2022 31.03.2021

Adjusted net debt to total equity ratio 0.16 0.05

* includes earmarked bank deposits against guarantees & other commitments of 9.1 million (previous year 10.5 million) classified as Other Non-Current Financial Assets.

61. Hedge accounting:

The Company's risk management policy is to hedge above 15% of its estimated net foreign currency exposure in respect of highly probable forecast sales over the following 12-24 months at any point in time. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. Such contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges.

The forward exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. These contracts have a maturity of 12-24 months from the reporting date. The Company's policy is for the critical terms of the forward exchange contracts to align with the hedged item.

The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Company assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.

In these hedge relationships, changes in timing of the hedged transactions is the main source of hedge ineffectiveness.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Members of Lupin Limited

Report on the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the standalone financial statements of Lupin Limited (the "Company") and its employee welfare trust, which comprise the standalone balance sheet as at 31 March 2022, and the standalone statement of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), standalone statement of changes in equity and standalone statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone financial statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 ("Act") in the manner so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2022, and its loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of Key Audit Matters:

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

1. Revenue Recognition:

Refer note I B(k) of significant accounting policies and note 37 in standalone financial statements.

Revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products is recognized when control over goods is transferred to a customer. The actual point in time when revenue is recognised varies depending on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contracts entered into with customers. The Company has a large number of customers operating in various geographies and sales contracts with customers have distinct terms relating to the recognition of revenue, the right of return and price adjustments.

We identified the recognition of revenue from sale of products as a key audit matter considering:

• Revenue is a key performance indicator for the Company. Accordingly, there could be pressure to meet the expectations of investors/other stakeholders and/or to meet revenue targets stipulated in performance incentive schemes for a reporting period. We have considered that there is a risk of fraud related to revenue being overstated by recognition in the wrong period or before control has passed during the year and at period end.

To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures included, amongst others, the following:

  • Compared the accounting policies in respect of revenue recognition with applicable accounting standards to test for compliance;
  • Tested the design, implementation and operating effectiveness of the Company's internal controls including general IT controls and key IT application controls over recognition of revenue;
  • Performed substantive testing of selected samples of revenue transactions recorded during the year;
  • For a sample of year-end sales, verified contractual terms of sales invoices/contracts, shipping documents and acknowledged delivery receipts for those transactions including management assessment and quantification of any sales reversal for undelivered goods; and
  • Tested any unusual non-standard manual journal entries impacting revenue recognised during the year.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

2. Uncertain tax positions (UTPs):

Refer note I B(i) & (o) of significant accounting policies and notes 34 & 44 in standalone financial statements.

The Company is subject to complexities arising from various tax positions on deductibility of expenses as well as allowability of tax incentives/exemptions. These are subject to periodic challenges by local tax authorities leading to protracted litigations. There are a number of open tax matters under litigation with tax authorities over a number of years.

The range of possible outcomes for provisions and contingencies can be wide. Judgement is required to estimate the tax exposures and contingencies.

Provision for current tax, assessment/judgment of UTPs has been identified as a key audit matter due to the inherent complexity in the underlying tax laws and the extent of judgement involved in developing these estimates.

To obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence, our principal audit procedures included, amongst others, the following:

  • Tested the design and operating effectiveness of the management review control over ascertaining completeness and adequacy of provision/disclosures of UTPs;
  • Evaluated the adequacy of related provisions in consultation with tax specialists by considering changes to business and tax legislation;
  • Made relevant enquires and read correspondence with authorities where relevant;
  • Verified the calculation for current tax provision. Analyzed the rationale for any release, increase or continued provision during the year; and
  • Examined Management's judgments with respect to probability of outflow arising from outstanding litigations after considering the status of recent tax assessments, audits and enquiries, recent judicial pronouncements and judgments in similar matters. Also considered developments in the tax environment and outcome of past litigations.

3. Contingencies and Litigations

Refer note I B(o) of significant accounting policies and note 34 in standalone financial statements.

The preparation of the estimate of the provision for outstanding litigation, claims and assessments involves subjective judgments or uncertainties , which requires special audit consideration because of the likelihood and potential magnitude of misstatements of the provision, claims and assessments. These litigations are inherent to the business of the Company. Based on Company's assessment of the possible outcome of these litigations, the same has been recognized as liability or disclosed as contingent Liability.

We assessed the appropriateness of the provisions for litigations and claims and obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence. Our principal audit procedures included the following:

  • Tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's controls over assessment of contingencies, claims and litigations;
  • We have assessed the summary of litigation matters provided by management and held discussions with the Company's legal counsel where required for gaining an understanding of the outstanding matters;
  • Verified management's judgments with respect to probability of outflow arising out of litigation after considering the status of litigation, recent judicial pronouncements and judgments in similar matters etc;
  • We have obtained and substantively tested evidence to support the decisions and rationale for provisions held or the decisions not to record provisions, including correspondence with legal counsel and with relevant regulatory authorities;
  • We have assessed the assumptions against third party data (legal opinions), where available, and assessed the estimates against historical trends; and
  • Evaluated adequacy of disclosures given in the standalone financial statements.

Other Information

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report, but does not include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed and based on the work done/audit report of other auditors, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's and Board of Directors'/Board of Trustees' Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs, loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. The respective Management and Board of Directors of the companies/ Board of Trustees of the employee welfare trust ("Trust") are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of each company/trust and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the respective Management and Board of Directors/ Board of Trustees are responsible for assessing the ability of each company/trust to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Board of Directors/ Board of Trustees either intends to liquidate the

company/trust or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The respective Board of Directors/Board of Trustees are also responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of each company/trust.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Management and Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management and Board of Directors use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of standalone financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions

that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the standalone financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalone financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Annexure – B to the Independent Auditor's report on the standalone financial statements of Lupin Limited for the year ended 31 March 2022

Report on the internal financial controls with reference to the aforesaid standalone financial statements under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section 143 of the Companies Act, 2013

(Referred to in paragraph 2 (A) (f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

Opinion

We have audited the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements of Lupin Limited ("the Company") as of 31 March 2022 in conjunction with our audit of the standalone financial statements of the Company for the year ended on that date.

In our opinion, the Company has, in all material respects, adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and such internal financial controls were operating effectively as at 31 March 2022, based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (the "Guidance Note").

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management and the Board of Directors are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the Guidance Note. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act").

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note and the Standards on Auditing, prescribed under section 143(10) of the Act, to the extent applicable to an audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls with reference to financial statements were established and maintained and whether such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to financial statements and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements included obtaining an understanding of such internal financial controls, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the Company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls with reference to Financial Statements

A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial controls with reference to financial statements include those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the Standalone financial statements.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial controls with Reference to Financial Statements

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls with reference to financial statements, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone financial statements to future periods are subject to the risk that the internal financial controls with reference to standalone financial statements may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a) Basis of accounting and preparation of Standalone Financial Statements: Basis of preparation

i) These standalone financial statements of the Company have been prepared in all material aspects in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standards (hereinafter referred to as the 'Ind AS') as notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 ('the Act') read with Rule 4 of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 as amended and other relevant provisions of the Act and accounting principles generally accepted in India. These standalone financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company's Board of Directors on May 18, 2022.

Functional and Presentation Currency

ii) These standalone financial statements are presented in Indian rupees, which is the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in Indian rupees has been rounded to the nearest million, except otherwise indicated.

Basis of measurement

iii) These standalone financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated.

Use of Estimates and Judgements

iv) The preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions considered in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and the reported income and expenses during the year. The Management believes that the estimates used in preparation of the Standalone Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Future results could differ due to these estimates and the differences between the actual results and the estimates are recognised in the periods in which the results are known/materialised. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Information about critical judgments made in applying accounting policies, as well as estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are included in the following accounting policies.

  • Measurement and likelihood of occurrence of provisions and contingencies (Refer note o)
  • Impairment of non-financial assets (Refer note f)
  • Impairment of financial assets (Refer note h)
  • Provision for Income taxes and uncertain tax positions (refer note i)

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

b) Property, Plant and Equipment & Depreciation:

  • I. Recognition and Measurement: Freehold land is carried at historical cost. Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
  • its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates.
  • any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
  • the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which the Company incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
  • income and expenses related to the incidental operations, not necessary to bring the item to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

Capital work-in-progress in respect of assets which are not ready for their intended use are carried at cost, comprising of direct costs, related incidental expenses and attributable interest.

II. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

III. Depreciation

Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its estimated residual value.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment of the Company has been provided on the straight-line method as per the useful life prescribed in Schedule II to the Act, except in respect of the following categories of assets, in whose case the life of the assets has been assessed as under based on independent technical evaluation and management's assessment thereof, taking into account the nature of the asset, the estimated usage of the asset, the operating conditions of the asset, past history of replacement, anticipated technological changes, manufacturers warranties and maintenance support, etc.

Particulars Estimated Useful Life
Leasehold Land Over the period
of lease
Improvements on Leased Over the period
Premises of lease
Building 5 to 80 years
Plant and Equipment 10 to 15 years
Office Equipment 4 years
(Desktop and Laptop)
Certain assets provided 3 years
to employees

Depreciation method, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation on additions (disposals) is provided on a pro-rata basis i.e. from (upto) the date on which asset is ready for use (disposed of).

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

c) Intangible assets:

I. Recognition and Measurement:

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. The cost of an intangible asset comprises of its purchase price, including any import duties and other taxes (other than those subsequently recoverable from the taxing authorities), and any directly attributable expenditure on making the asset ready for its intended use.

Expenditure on research and development eligible for capitalisation are carried as Intangible assets under development where such assets are not yet ready for their intended use.

II. Subsequent Expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

III. Derecognition of Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are de-recognised either on their disposal or where no future economic benefits are expected from their use. Losses arising on such de-recognition are recorded in the consolidated profit or loss, and are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of respective intangible assets as on the date of derecognition.

IV. Amortisation

Intangible assets are amortised over their estimated useful life on Straight Line Method as follows:

Particulars Estimated Useful Life
Computer Software 5 to 6 years
Trademark and Licenses 4 to 5 years
Dossiers/Marketing Rights 10 years

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets and the amortisation period are reviewed at the end of each financial year and the amortisation method is revised to reflect the changed pattern, if any.

d) Non-current assets held for sale:

Assets are classified as held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if the asset is available for immediate

sale and its sale is highly probable. Such assets or group of assets are presented separately in the Balance Sheet as "Assets Classified as Held for Sale". Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated.

e) Research and Development:

Revenue expenditure pertaining to research is charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. Development costs of products are also charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred, unless a product's technological feasibility has been established, in which case such expenditure is capitalised. These costs are charged to the respective heads in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year it is incurred. The amount capitalised comprises of expenditure that can be directly attributed or allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis for creating, producing and making the asset ready for its intended use. Property, Plant and Equipment utilised for research and development are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the policies stated for Property, Plant and Equipment.

Expenditure on in-licensed development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalised, if the cost can be reliably measured, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Company has sufficient resources to complete the development and to use and sell the asset.

Payments to third parties that generally take the form of up-front payments and milestones for in-licensed products, compounds and intellectual property are capitalised since the probability of expected future economic benefits criterion is always considered to be satisfied for separately acquired intangible assets.

f) Impairment of non-financial assets:

The carrying values of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets at each balance sheet date are reviewed for impairment if any indication of impairment exists. The following intangible assets are tested for impairment each financial year even if there is no indication that the asset is impaired:

i) an intangible asset that is not yet available for use; and

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

ii) an intangible asset that is having indefinite useful life.

If the carrying amount of the Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible assets exceed the estimated recoverable amount, an impairment is recognised for such excess amount. The impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case any impairment loss of the revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent a revaluation reserve is available for that asset.

The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and their value in use. Value in use is arrived at by discounting the future cash flows to their present value based on an appropriate discount factor.

When there is indication that an impairment loss recognised for an asset (other than a revalued asset) in earlier accounting periods no longer exists or may have decreased, such reversal of impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss, to the extent the amount was previously charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss. In case of revalued assets, such reversal is not recognised.

g) Foreign Currency Transactions/ Translations:

  • i) Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded at exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction or at rates that closely approximate the rate at the date of the transaction.
  • ii) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate of the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
  • iii) Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items (except for long term monetary items outstanding as at March 31, 2016) at rates different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous standalone financial statements are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

iv) In case of long term monetary items outstanding as at March 31, 2016, exchange differences arising on settlement/restatement thereof are capitalised as part of the depreciable fixed assets to which the monetary item relates and depreciated over the remaining useful life of such assets. If such monetary items do not relate to acquisition of depreciable fixed assets, the exchange difference is amortised over the maturity period/upto the date of settlement of such monetary items, whichever is earlier, and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

h) Financial Instruments:

I. Financial Assets Classification

On initial recognition the Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss on the basis of its business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Initial recognition and measurement

All financial assets (not measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e. the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial assets at amortised cost

A 'financial asset' is measured at the amortised cost if both the following conditions are met:

  • i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets for collecting contractual cash flows, and
  • ii) contractual terms of the asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR)

Notes Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the Statement of Profit and Loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss. This category generally applies to trade and other receivables.

Financial assets included within the fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Equity investments

All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which are held for trading are classified as at FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Company decides to classify the same either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or FVTPL. The Company makes such election on an instrument-byinstrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.

If the Company decides to classify an equity instrument as at FVTOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding dividends, are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to Statement of Profit and Loss, even on sale of such investments.

Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture

Investments in subsidiaries and joint venture are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the investment is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. On disposal of investments in subsidiaries and joint venture, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a Company of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e. removed from the Company's balance sheet) when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
  • The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either:
  • i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or
  • ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement. In that case, the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Impairment of financial assets

In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

  • i) financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortised cost e.g., loans, debt securities, deposits, and bank balance.
  • ii) trade receivables.

The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component.

The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.

II. Financial Liabilities

Classification

The Company classifies all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, at amortised cost (loans, borrowings and payables) or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term.

This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by Ind AS 109. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in Ind-AS 109 are satisfied. For liabilities designated as FVTPL, fair value gains/losses attributable to changes in own credit risk are recognized in OCI. These gains/losses are not subsequently transferred to Statement of Profit and Loss. However, the Company may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity. All other changes in fair value of such liability are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are derecognised.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Notes Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

Embedded derivatives

If the hybrid contract contains a host that is a financial asset within the scope Ind-AS 109, the Company does not separate embedded derivatives. Rather, it applies the classification requirements contained in Ind AS 109 to the entire hybrid contract. Derivatives embedded in all other host contracts are accounted for as separate derivatives and recorded at fair value if their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the host contracts are not held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss, unless designated as effective hedging instruments. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Derivative financial instruments The Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and currency options to manage its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

Hedge Accounting

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to highly probable forecast transactions. The Company designates such forward contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles. These forward

contracts are stated at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in the fair value of these forward contracts that are designated and effective as hedges of future cash flows are recognised directly in (OCI) and accumulated in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" under Other Equity, net of applicable deferred income taxes and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Profit and Loss. Amounts accumulated in the "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" are reclassified to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the same period during which the forecasted transaction affects Statement of Profit and Loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. For forecasted transactions, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is retained until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in "Cash Flow Hedge Reserve Account" is immediately transferred to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

III. Measurement

The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments on the basis of the following hierarchy:

  • (a) Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments quoted in active markets is based on their quoted closing price at the balance sheet date.
  • (b) Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques using observable market data. Such valuation techniques include discounted cash flows, standard valuation models based on market parameters for interest rates, yield curves or foreign exchange rates, dealer quotes for similar instruments and use of comparable arm's length transactions.
  • (c) Level 3: The fair value of financial instruments that are measured on the basis of entity specific valuations using inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

i) Income tax:

Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if, the Company:

  • i) has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts; and
  • ii) Intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax

Deferred taxes are recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

The Company recognises deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that both of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • i) When the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference; and
  • ii) it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if:

  • i) The Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
  • ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

Accruals for uncertain tax positions require management to make judgments of potential exposures. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are measured using either the most likely amount or the expected value amount depending on which method the entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. Tax benefits are not recognised unless the management based upon its interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the expectation of how the tax authority will resolve the matter concludes that such benefits will be accepted by the authorities. Once considered probable of not being accepted, management reviews each material tax benefit and reflects the effect of the uncertainty in determining the related taxable amounts.

j) Inventories:

Inventories of all procured materials, stock-in-trade, finished goods and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost (on moving weighted average basis) and the net realisable value after providing for obsolescence and other losses, where considered necessary. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Cost of raw material, packing materials and stock-intrade includes all charges in bringing the goods to their present location and condition, including non-creditable taxes and other levies, transit insurance and receiving charges. However, these items are considered to be realisable at cost if the finished products, in which they will be used, are expected to be sold at or above cost.

Cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, packing materials, an appropriate share of fixed and variable production overheads, non-creditable duties and taxes as applicable and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Fixed production overheads are allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities.

k) Revenue Recognition: Sale of Goods

The majority of the Company's contracts related to product sales include only one performance obligation, which is to deliver products to customers based on purchase orders received. Revenue from sales of products is recognized at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery, which the Company has determined is when physical possession, legal title of the products transfer to the customer and the Company is entitled to payment. The timing of the transfer of risks and rewards varies depending on the individual terms of the sales agreements. Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable (after including fair value allocations related to multiple deliverable and/or linked arrangements), net of returns, sales tax/GST and applicable trade discounts and allowances. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs billed to the customer.

The Company accounts for sales returns accrual by recording an allowance for sales returns concurrent with the recognition of revenue at the time of a product sale. This allowance is based on the Company's estimate of expected sales returns. The Company considers its historical experience of sales returns, levels of inventory in the distribution channel, estimated shelf life, product discontinuances, price changes of competitive products, and the introduction of competitive new products, to the extent each of these factors impact the Company's business and markets.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by major Products/Service lines, geography and timing of the revenue recognition.

Any amount of variable consideration is recognised as revenue only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration using the expected value method.

Income from research services

Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed, or when risks and rewards of ownership are transferred, as applicable.

The Company enters into certain dossier sales, licensing and supply arrangements that, in certain instances, include certain performance obligations. Based on an evaluation of whether or not these obligations are inconsequential or perfunctory, the Company recognise or defer the upfront payments received under these arrangements.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised with reference to the Effective Interest Rate method.

Dividend income

Dividend from investment is recognised as revenue when right to receive is established.

Income from Export Benefits and Other Incentives

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued as revenue in the year in which the goods are exported and/or services are rendered only when there reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to them will be complied with, and the amounts will be received.

l) Employee Benefits:

Short term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided and the Company will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

Defined benefit plans

The Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed periodically by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income (OCI). Net interest expense (income) on the net defined liability (asset) is computed by applying the discount rate, used to measure the net defined liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss.

When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on

curtailment is recognised immediately in Statement of Profit and Loss. The Company recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.

Other long-term employee benefits

The Company's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. The obligation is measured on the basis of a periodical independent actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurement are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss in the period in which they arise.

m) Share-based payment transactions:

Employees Stock Options Plans ("ESOPs"): The grant date fair value of options granted to employees is recognized as an employee expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The expense is recorded for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The increase in equity recognized in connection with share based payment transaction is presented as a separate component in Other Equity under "Employee Stock Options Outstanding Reserve". The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of stock options that vest.

Cash-settled Transactions: The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.

n) Leases:

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company uses the definition of a lease in Ind AS 116.

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

Company as a lessee

The Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract and allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.

The Company recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the lease commencement date. The cost of the right-of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The right-of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date over the shorter of lease term or useful life of right-of-use asset. The estimated useful lives of right-of- use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment loss, if any, is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate, Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. For leases with reasonably similar characteristics, the Company, on a lease by lease basis, may adopt either the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease

or the incremental borrowing rate for the portfolio as a whole. The lease payments shall include fixed payments, variable lease payments, residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option where the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments. The company recognises the amount of the re-measurement of lease liability due to modification as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and statement of profit and loss depending upon the nature of modification. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Company recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in Statement of Profit and Loss.

The Company has elected not to apply the requirements of Ind AS 116 Leases to short-term leases of all assets that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

o) Provisions and Contingent Liabilities:

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. If effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using an appropriate discount rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the Notes to the Standalone Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are disclosed for:

i) possible obligations which will be confirmed only by future events not wholly within the control of the Company, or

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

ii) present obligations arising from past events where it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation cannot be made.

p) Cash and Cash equivalents:

Cash comprises cash on hand, current accounts and deposits with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term balances (with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition), current investments that are convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

q) Borrowing costs:

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds and is measured with reference to the effective interest rate (EIR) applicable to the respective borrowing. Borrowing costs include interest costs measured at EIR and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent they are regarded as an adjustment to the interest cost.

Borrowing costs, allocated to qualifying assets, pertaining to the period from commencement of activities relating to construction/development of the qualifying asset up to the date of capitalisation of such asset are added to the cost of the assets. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended and charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss during extended periods when active development activity on the qualifying assets is interrupted.

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period which they are incurred.

r) Government Grants:

Government grants are initially recognised at fair value if there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Company will comply with the conditions associated with the grant;

  • In case of capital grants, they are then recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
  • In case of grants that compensate the Company for expenses incurred are recognised in Statement of Profit and Loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses are recognised.

Export benefits available under prevalent schemes are accrued in the year in which the goods are exported and there is no uncertainty in receiving the same.

s) Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit after tax by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year. The weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the events for bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares). Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest and other charges to expense or income (net of any attributable taxes) relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or other issue of potential ordinary shares that would have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share.

t) Insurance claims:

Insurance claims are accounted for on the basis of claims admitted/expected to be admitted and to the extent that the amount recoverable can be measured reliably and it is reasonable to expect the ultimate collection.

u) Goods and Services tax input credit:

Goods and Services tax input credit is accounted for in the books in the period in which the underlying goods/service received is accounted and when there is reasonable certainty in availing/utilising the credits.

v) Operating cycle:

Based on the nature of products/activities of the Company and the normal time between acquisition of assets and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents, the Company has determined its operating cycle as 12 months for the purpose of classification of its assets and liabilities as current and non-current as set out in Schedule III of the Act.

1C. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

Ministry of Corporate Affairs ("MCA") notifies new standard or amendments to the existing standards under Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. On March 23, 2022, MCA amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2022, applicable from April 1st, 2022, as below:

Ind AS 103 – Reference to Conceptual Framework

The amendments specify that to qualify for recognition as part of applying the acquisition method, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed must meet the definitions of assets and liabilities in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under Indian Accounting Standards (Conceptual Framework) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India at the acquisition date.

Ind AS 103 – Business Combination

Reference to revised Conceptual Framework. For contingent liabilities/levies, clarification is added on how to apply the principles for recognition of contingent liabilities from Ind AS 37. Recognition of contingent assets is not allowed.

Ind AS 16 – Proceeds before intended use

The amendments requires an entity to deduct from the cost of property, plant and equipment any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use.

Ind AS 37 – Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract

The amendments specify that that the 'cost of fulfilling' a contract comprises the 'costs that relate directly to the contract'. Costs that relate directly to a contract can either be incremental costs of fulfilling that contract (examples would be direct labour, materials) or an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts.

Ind AS 109 – Annual Improvements to Ind AS (2021)

The amendment clarifies which fees an entity includes when it applies the '10 percent' test of Ind AS 109 in assessing whether to derecognise a financial liability.

Ind AS 41 – Taxation in fair value measurements

The amendment removes the requirement in Ind AS 41 for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value. This aligns the fair value measurement in Ind AS 41 with the requirements of Ind AS 113 Fair Value Measurement.

Ind AS 101 - Subsidiary as a first time adopter

First time Adoption of Ind AS – Measurement of Foreign Currency Translation Difference in case of subsidiary/associate/JV's date of transition to Ind AS is subsequent to that of Parent – FCTR in the books of subsidiary/associate/JV can be measured based Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amendments are extensive and the Group will evaluate the same to give effect to them as required by law.

37. Revenue (Ind AS 115)

a) The operations of the Company are limited to only one segment viz. pharmaceuticals and related products. Revenue from contract with customers is from sale of manufactured goods and rendering of research services. Sale of goods are made at a point in time and revenue is recognised upon satisfaction of the performance obligations which is typically upon dispatch/delivery depending on the terms of the sale. The Company has a credit evaluation policy based on which the credit limits for the trade receivables are established. There is no significant financing component as the credit period provided by the Company is not significant.

Income from research services including sale of technology/know-how (rights, licenses and other intangibles) is recognised in accordance with the terms of the contract with customers when the related performance obligation is completed.

The Company enters into certain dossier sales, licensing and supply arrangements that, in certain instances, include certain performance obligations. Based on an evaluation of whether or not these obligations are inconsequential or perfunctory, the Company recognises or defers the upfront payments received under these arrangements.

Variable components such as discounts, chargebacks, rebates, sales returns etc. continues to be recognised as deductions from revenue in compliance with Ind AS 115.

Valuation of stock options

The fair value of stock options granted during the period has been measured using the Black–Scholes option pricing model at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected terms and risk free interest rates. The key inputs and assumptions used are as follows:

Share price: The closing price on NSE as on the date of grant has been considered for valuing the options granted.

Exercise Price: Exercise Price is the market price or face value or such other price as determined by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Expected Volatility: The historical volatility of the stock till the date of grant has been considered to calculate the fair value of the options.

Expected Option Life: Expected Life of option is the period for which the Company expects the options to be live. The minimum life of a stock option is the minimum period before which the options cannot be exercised and the maximum life is the period after which the options cannot be exercised.

Expected dividends: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as an average of dividend yields for four years preceding the date of the grant.

Risk free interest rate: The risk free interest rate on the date of grant considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal to the expected life of the options based on the zero coupon yield curve for Government Securities.

These assumptions reflect management's best estimates, but these assumptions involve inherent market uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the Company's control. As a result, if other assumptions had been used in the current period, stock-based compensation expense could have been materially impacted. Further, if management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years. The estimated fair value of stock options is charged to income on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards.

(ii) Employee stock options – Cash settled

The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at fair value at the grant date using a Binomial Option Pricing Model. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognised in employee benefits expense.

B) The provident fund plan of the Company, except at one plant, is operated by "Lupin Limited Employees Provident Fund Trust" ("Trust"), a separate legal entity. Eligible employees receive benefits from the said Provident Fund. Both the employees and the Company make monthly contributions to the Provident Fund Plans equal to a specified percentage of the covered employee's salary.

The minimum interest rate payable by the Trust to the beneficiaries every year is being notified by the Government of India. The Company has an obligation to make good the shortfall, if any, between the return from the investments of the Trust and the notified interest rate. The Board of Trustees administer the contributions made by the Company to the schemes and also defines the investment strategy to act in the best interest of the plan participants.

The Company has an obligation to service the shortfall on account of interest generated by the fund and on maturity of fund investments and hence the same has been classified as Defined Benefit Plan in accordance with Ind AS 19 "Employee Benefits". As per the Guidance Note from the Actuarial Society of India, the Company has obtained the actuarial valuation of interest rate obligation in respect of Provident Fund as at March 31, 2022 and based on the same, there is no shortfall towards interest rate obligation.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • Credit risk;
  • Liquidity risk; and
  • Market risk

The Company's board of directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The board of directors has established the Risk Management Committee which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company's risk management policies. The committee reports to the board of directors on its activities.

The Company's risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Company to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's activities. The Company through its training standards and procedures aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The audit committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The audit committee is assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures the results of which are reported to the audit committee.

i. Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's receivables from customers and investment securities. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful debts and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables and investments.

Trade receivables

The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The demographics of the customer including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates also has an influence on credit risk assessment. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

As at year end the carrying amount of the Company's largest customer (a Subsidiary based in North America) was 12801.7 million (previous year 18998.2 million).

Summary of the Company's exposure to credit risk by age of the outstanding from various customers is as follows:

(` in million)
Particulars As at As at
31.03.2022 31.03.2021
Not past due but impaired 72.7 57.2

- 181-365 days 33.3 0.5
- more than 365 days 75.0 128.5
Total 27419.3 32131.7

Expected credit loss assessment

The Company allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on a variety of data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (e.g. timeliness of payments available press information etc.) and applying experienced credit judgement.

Exposures to customers outstanding at the end of each reporting period are reviewed by the Company to determine incurred and expected credit losses. Historical trends of impairment of trade receivables do not reflect any significant credit losses. Given that the macroeconomic indicators affecting customers of the Company have not undergone any substantial change the Company expects the historical trend of minimal credit losses to continue.

The movement in the allowance for impairment in respect of trade and other receivables during the year was as follows:

(` in million)
Particulars 2021-2022 2020-2021
Balance as at the beginning of the year 226.3 135.6
Impairment loss recognised (net) (6.0) 94.0
Amounts written off (18.6) (2.2)
Exchange differences (2.5) (1.1)
Balance as at the year end 199.2 226.3

Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

The impairment loss at March 31 2022 related to several customers that have defaulted on their payments to the Company and are not expected to be able to pay their outstanding balances mainly due to economic circumstances.

Cash and cash equivalents

As at the year end the Company held cash and cash equivalents of 591.0 million (previous year 1774.1 million). The cash and cash equivalents are held with banks.

Other Bank Balances

Other bank balances are held with banks.

Derivatives

The derivatives are entered into with banks.

Investment in mutual funds, non-convertible debentures and commercial papers

The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities non convertible debentures commercial papers and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-parties.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets are neither past due nor impaired.

ii. Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure as far as possible that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due under both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation.

The Company has obtained fund and non-fund based working capital lines from various banks. The Company invests its surplus funds in bank fixed deposit and liquid and liquid plus schemes of mutual funds non-convertible debentures commercial papers which carry no/low mark to market risks. The Company monitors funding options available in the debt and capital markets with a view to maintaining financial flexibility.

* Guarantees issued by the Company on behalf of subsidiaries are with respect to borrowings raised by the respective subsidiary. These amounts will be payable on default by the concerned subsidiary. As of the reporting date none of the subsidiary have defaulted and hence the Company does not have any present obligation to third parties in relation to such guarantees (Refer note 54C).

iii. Market Risk:

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates interest rates and equity prices – will affect the Company's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. We are exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk. Thus our exposure to market risk is a function of revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in our foreign currency revenues and costs. The Company uses derivatives to manage market risk. Generally the Company seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of its operations in other countries. The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The exchange rate between the Indian rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent periods and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Consequently the Company uses both derivative instruments i.e. foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in respect of its highly probable forecasted transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts which are not intended for trading or speculative purposes but for hedge purposes to establish the amount of reporting currency required or available at the settlement date of certain payables/receivables.

The Company also enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge and manage its foreign currency exposures towards future export earnings. Such derivatives contracts are entered into by the Company for hedging purposes only and are accordingly classified as cash flow hedge.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing financial assets or borrowings because of fluctuations in the interest rates if such assets/borrowings are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing borrowings will fluctuate because of fluctuations in the interest rates.

Exposure to interest rate risk

Company's interest rate risk arises from borrowings and finance lease obligations. The interest rate profile of the Company's interest-bearing borrowings is as follows:

(` in million)
Particulars As at
31.03.2022
As at
31.03.2021
Non-Current Borrowings

Fixed rate borrowings - -
Variable rate borrowings 7904.7 2987.9
7904.7 2987.9
Total 7904.7 2991.0

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed-rate instruments

The Company does not account for any fixed-rate borrowings at fair value through profit or loss. Therefore a change in interest rates at the reporting date would not affect profit or loss.

Notes Forming part of the Standalone Financial Statements

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments

A reasonably possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables in particular foreign currency exchange rates remain constant.

(` in million)
Particulars Profit or (loss)
100 bp increase 100 bp decrease
Cash flow sensitivity (net)
March 31, 2022
Variable-rate borrowings (79.0) 79.0
March 31, 2021
Variable-rate borrowings (29.9) 29.9

The risk estimates provided assume a change of 100 basis points interest rate for the interest rate benchmark as applicable to the borrowings summarised above. This calculation also assumes that the change occurs at the balance sheet date and has been calculated based on risk exposures outstanding as at that date. The period end balances are not necessarily representative of the average debt outstanding during the period.

Commodity rate risk

The Company's operating activities involve purchase and sale of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) whose prices are exposed to the risk of fluctuation over short periods of time. Commodity price risk exposure is evaluated and managed through procurement and other related operating policies. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 the Company had not entered into any material derivative contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices.

51. Capital Management

The Company's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The board of directors seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Company monitors capital using a ratio of 'adjusted net debt' to 'total equity'. For this purpose adjusted net debt is defined as total liabilities comprising interest-bearing loans and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents other bank balances and current investments.

The Company's policy is to keep the ratio below 1.5. The Company's adjusted net debt to total equity ratio at March 31, 2022 was as follows:

(` in million)
Particulars As at As at
31.03.2022 31.03.2021

52. Hedge accounting

The Company's risk management policy is to hedge above 15% of its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of highly probable forecast sales over the following 12-24 months. The Company uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its currency risk. Such contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges.

The forward exchange forward contracts are denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecast sales, therefore the hedge ratio is 1:1. These contracts have a maturity of 12-24 months from the reporting date. The Company's policy is for the critical terms of the forward exchange contracts to align with the hedged item.

The Company determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Company assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.

In these hedge relationships changes in timing of the hedged transactions is the main source of hedge ineffectiveness.
