G. Extempore motions
Summary of stockholder's comments:
-
- Question from Stockholder #45647 Yong Mao Investment:
- (1). Why did the Company's performance decline? What is the company's future revenue and business projected?
- (2). ScinoPharm's revenue decreased by 20% last year. The revenue looks further declining this year. Therefore, I would like to ask the CEO about future business expansions as ScinoPharm has a strong R&D team and a great number of DMFs. I would like to take advantage of this rare opportunity to ask the CEO how the company is planning to improve sales performances.
CEO Chen's answer:
Thanks for the questions. As you may know, our revenue declined last year. Our sales momentum remains challenging this year. There are three main reasons as follows:
The most direct reason was a decline in our Contract Manufacturing ("CMO") business. Of the two CMO products, one showed slight decrease, and the other had almost no sales. Back to 2012 and 2013, we highly expected these two products, and reserved plenty of production capacities for them. However, the drugs were not sold as well as expected after FDA approved, which directly impacted our sales performance. The second reason was that we are currently in transformation, when there may be product line gaps. For example, we originally developed APIs for sales immediately after development. Currently we are developing our own formulations, and therefore we no longer sell our APIs directly after development; instead, we have to manufacture our formulations, register our products, and wait for patents to expire. So, our investment cycles are prolonged. Under these circumstances, you might feel gaps in our product pipeline. In fact, our old products stay competitive. ScinoPharm's two series of anti-cancer drugs, paclitaxel, docetaxel, and irinotecan enjoy relatively high market shares worldwide and are still highly competitive. Another pressure to our profitability came from the price fluctuations in raw material for paclitaxel and docetaxel.
The third reason was that in the past we made some major investments, including our Changshu plant and injectable plant. These investments have not generated revenue yet but bring pressures to our business. You all can see that over the past two years ScinoPharm has received many domestic and international awards, as well as recognition from many clients and the pharmaceutical industry in general. ScinoPharm is still highly competitive. The pharmaceutical industry differs from other industries in that it has longer product life cycles, and cannot depend on a single product. Our transformation period is estimated to take about three years: last year our revenue dropped, this year we maintain conservative outlook, and next year we may have a better chance to improve our business. Thank you!
- Question from Stockholder #37592 Mr. Chen:
The progress of the injectable plant in Tainan Science Park seems coming to a standstill and affected overall operations. The management team should handle this matter effectively to avoid damaging the interests of stockholders.
CEO Chen's answer:
As our business report mentioned today, the high level schedule and goal for our injectable plant remain unchanged. We would have a fair chance to complete equipment qualification and to commence pilot runs for liquid vials in the third quarter and fourth quarter of this year, respectively. In general, we need to finish pilot runs before conducting stability tests, and then filing ANDAs. Under this procedure, our first ANDA application is expected to be filed in 2017. During these years, we will continue to provide contract manufacturing services for clinical used drugs to other companies. We expect to pass US FDA inspection and receive approval for our products in 2018, without material changes from our planned schedule.
H. End of meeting
Appendix 1
2014 Business Report
Dear Shareholders:
Following transformational changes, 2014 proved to be a challenging year for ScinoPharm. Our team has actively faced up to the challenges brought about by uncontrollable factors such as intense competition in the global pharmaceutical industry, severe cuts in healthcare spending worldwide, and increases in the costs of raw materials. An overview of the last year shows that ScinoPharm's business operations in the areas of APIs for generic drugs and CRAM (Contract Research and Manufacturing) services for new drugs did not perform as expected due to fluctuations in the industry and supplies of raw materials. Sales for a client's weight loss drug fell short in America, causing decreased orders for our exclusively produced API, topiramate; the revenues and profits of our two main oncological products were affected by increases in raw material prices brought on by supply shortages. Additionally, our Changshu plant in China is currently unable to achieve commercial production as a result of awaiting a potential US FDA plant inspection. This delay has caused idle capacity and increases in amortization and depreciation expenses. These factors, combined with pressures from annually decreasing prices for our generic API on the market, all impacted our overall performance in 2014.
Financial Performance
ScinoPharm's consolidated revenues for 2014 were TWD4.098 billion, a 19% decline compared to our TWD 5.088 billion revenues of the previous year; consolidated net profits after tax were TWD 484 million, a 62% decline compared to the previous year's TWD1.273 billion. Earnings per share (after tax) were TWD 0.69.
At the end of 2014, our paid-in capital amounted to TWD7.03 billion; our shareholders' equity was TWD9.38 billion, making up 82% of total assets, which equaled TWD 11.372 billion. Long-term fund was 1.87 times the amount of property, plant, and equipment, and our current ratio was 2.74, making for a sound financial structure.
Operational Performance
Over the past two years, ScinoPharm has been actively pursuing its double-A vertical integration strategy (API + ANDA, namely, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient and Abbreviated New Drug Application). We formed strategic alliances with several pharmaceutical companies in the United States and China to expand our business operations in high-end generic drugs and new drugs in these two markets. These cooperative ventures will provide access to innovative products with higher value-adding. We have integrated our own resources with those of our alliances to expedite our product development cycle, boost our participation in the more lucrative end of the product value chain, and enhance our long-term competitive advantages and expansions for future growth.
We specialize in API with high technical entry barriers. Our main products continue to be market leaders, including our colorectal cancer drug, Irinotecan, which held 60-70 percent of the global market in 2013-2014; ScinoPharm provided 40-50 percent of API used to manufacture worldwide the non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer drug, Docetaxel; ScinoPharm's ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer drug Paclitaxel also had a 20-30 percent market share globally. Last year, we completed development 6 APIs on generic drugs. Also, 7 APIs were launched in the United States, Europe, and Japan, including products for the treatment of breast cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and other oncology drugs, as well as products for the treatment of motor neuron disease, malignant hyperthermia, hepatitis B, and osteoporosis. At the end of 2014, ScinoPharm had registered a total of 694 drug master files (DMFs) worldwide, 50 of which were registered in the United States, making ScinoPharm the holder of the most DMFs among the standalone API companies. Additionally, with 24 registered oncology DMFs, ScinoPharm holds the most DMFs, compared with our international standalone API counterparts.
The ScinoPharm Changshu plant in China will, in the future, play an important role in the Chinese supply chain of our American and European clients. As of the end of 2014, the Changhsu plant had already obtained a total of 9 drug production permits and is expected to achieve commercial production after passing US FDA's plant inspection scheduled for late 2015 or early 2016. Currently, ScinoPharm has 12 products under review for drug licenses with the Chinese drug regulatory authorities, 10 of which were imported from Taiwan while the other 2 were produced locally. The plant is currently working on 7 CRAM projects, all in Phase II or Phase III of clinical trials, and operations are expected to increase gradually. The market has sustained rapid growth alongside China's economic development and promotion of healthcare reform policies, and ScinoPharm will continue to combine resources from our Taiwan and Mainland China plants to expand our geographic reach.
Regarding the construction progress of ScinoPharm's injectable plant, the first liquid vial production line is expected to commence pilot run in late 2015. In the early stages of this strategy, ScinoPharm will actively seek contract manufacturing opportunities for clinical trial of new clinical drugs development while simultaneously producing registration batches of our self-developed generic drugs. Our first home-made ANDA is expected to be submitted in 2017, and to help trigger US FDA inspection of our injectable plant in 2018; commercial manufacturing of injectable drug products can then commence, raising ScinoPharm's value creation in the anti-cancer drug supply chain to fulfill customers' needs in "one-stop shopping".
ScinoPharm's long-term efforts in pharmaceutical industry have received recognitions from both Taiwanese and international communities. In July of 2014, ScinoPharm received the highest rank (A++) in the 11th Information Disclosure and Transparency Ranking compiled by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation; in October of the same year, ScinoPharm was named "API Supplier of the Year" at the Global Generics & Biosimilars Awards at the CPhI Worldwide Exhibition in Paris, France, and was highly praised in all indicators. ScinoPharm was the only company in the Asian region (excluding India) to receive an award.
Additionally, the professional media has also praised ScinoPharm's performance. In the "Leading Enterprise Survey" published in the October issue of Commonwealth Magazine, ScinoPharm was named as the most reputed enterprise for two consecutive years, winning the top spot in the biotechnology pharmaceutical industry. Also, in the Best Executive Team ranking in the Asian Pacific region (excluding Japan), compiled by the global authoritative financial magazine, Institutional Investor, ScinoPharm was selected as one of Asia's Most Honored Companies, with a ranking of #123. Of the 10 Taiwanese businesses that were featured on the list, ScinoPharm was the only pharmaceutical company.
In order to show our commitment to corporate social responsibility, our board of directors in 2014 approved a "Code of Conduct for Corporate Social Responsibility" to ensure that these corporate responsibilities are met in our active pursuit for improved operational performance. In accordance with current international trends, we seek to strike a balance among environment, society, and corporate governance. In October of the same year, we published our first Corporate Social Responsibility Report to document our economic, social, and environmental performance. In the future we will continue to focus on issues of importance to our stakeholders in our efforts to meet or exceed the public's expectations.
Future Developments
ScinoPharm is looking to accelerate our product development cycle and increase our product offerings using our own research and development capabilities, as well as actively collaborating with our global strategic partners to speed the drug production cycle. We plan to expand our CRAM services, undertaking projects with diverse technology and product efficacies for international drug companies. This will reduce current risks and improve capacity utilization, both to contribute to revenues while the Changshu plant in China is awaiting regulatory agency factory inspections. In addition, ScinoPharm will also keep optimizing existing manufacturing processes and management efficiencies to sharpen yield and make more effective use of our resources.
In order to enhance our value in the market place and our long-term competitiveness, ScinoPharm will continue to develop new products and expand our product portfolio; we plan to advance the company's original expertise in generic API's further into the development of new drug delivery technologies and new chemical entities (NECs), thus optimizing the company's market value and competitive advantage as part of our plan to become a comprehensive oncologic drug company that provides economic and efficient treatment for patients worldwide. We believe that our experienced R&D capabilities and innovative managerial strengths, coupled with the concentrated focus by all our colleagues, will allow us to solidify our operating foundations, grasp opportunities in this rapidly growing industry, and steadily expand our operating scale to create greater long-term value for our clients and shareholders.
Wish you all good health and fortune,
Kao-Huei Cheng, Chairman
