COMMENTARY
RESTATED RESULTS
Our Reviewed Condensed Consolidated Results for the year ended 31 December 2011,
as publicly released on 15 March 2012, have subsequently been restated.
Shareholders are further referred to the announcement released on SENS on
Friday, 22 June 2012 which set out that the aforementioned results have been
restated due to the arbitration proceedings between Reckitt Benckiser (SA) (Pty)
Limited (RBSA) and Cipla Medpro South Africa Limited (CMSA or the group) having
been settled by agreement between CMSA and RBSA, subsequent to 15 March 2012.
The company has sought specialist accounting advice on the appropriate
accounting treatment of the above settlement. Such advice is that:
- Notwithstanding that evidence as to the actual potential extent of the
liability only came to light after 31 December 2011 and the finalisation of the
provisional financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2011, the
underlying potential liability to RBSA was in existence at 31 December 2011;
- The board had not, as at the date of approval of the settlement agreement,
approved our integrated annual report, including the group annual financial
statements, for the period ending 31 December 2011;
- The appropriate and correct accounting treatment for the settlement is to
account for the settlement in the accounting period ending 31 December 2011.
Accordingly, we present our restated results for the period ending 31 December
2011, which include the statement of comprehensive income, statement of
financial position, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and
segmental report, with the effects of the RBSA settlement being accounted for in
these results and the accompanying commentary.
POSTING OF INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT AND DETAILS OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Our 2011 integrated annual report, which also includes the effects of the RBSA
settlement, is available on our company website and will be posted to
shareholders today, 29 June 2012.
The annual general meeting of the shareholders of CMSA will be held at 14:00 on
Thursday, 2 August 2012 at the Cipla Medpro Offices, Board Room number 1,
Belvedere Office Park, Block F, Bella Rosa Street, Bellville, Cape Town, to
transact the business as stated in the notice of the annual general meeting
forming part of the integrated annual report.
The record date for a shareholder to be entitled to attend, participate and vote
at the annual general meeting is Friday, 27 July 2012.
OVERVIEW
We present our restated results for the year ending 31 December 2011 in a year
that saw difficult economic conditions for consumers and businesses alike. The
exchange rate, no Single Exit Price (SEP) increase and an extremely slow rate of
new product registrations at the Medicines Control Council (MCC) continued to
influence the results negatively. The positive impact of our hedging policy is
evident in the annual results with unrealised gains made on the mark to market
(fair valuation) of forward exchange contracts (FECs) of R109,2 million (2010:
loss of R44,7 million). We continued to achieve healthy gross profit margins as
a result of the weaker US Dollar in the first half of 2011 and our favourable
forward cover in the second half of 2011. Anticipated volumes from government
tender antiretroviral (ARV) business did not materialise to the levels expected.
Our view is that 2012 tender volumes are likely to be better.
The case against Pfizer Limited and Pfizer Laboratories (Pty) Limited (Pfizer),
arising from damages caused by Pfizer`s incorrectly obtained interdict against
the group`s amlodipine besylate products in 2003, initially reported on SENS
during October 2010, was settled in our favour as reported in the 2011 interim
results, however, the terms thereof remain confidential.
The arbitration proceedings between RBSA and CMSA have been settled by agreement
between the company and RBSA. The agreement was approved by CMSA`s board after
consultation with and on the recommendation of its external legal counsel. The
salient terms of the agreement are:
- The company will pay a settlement amount of R80 million to RBSA in full and
final settlement of certain of RBSA`s claims, such settlement amount to be paid
in three tranches as follows:
- R30 million by 3 July 2012;
- R30 million by 31 July 2013; and
- R20 million by 30 January 2014;
- The company will abandon its counter claims against RBSA (which includes
receivables reflected in its books as due by RBSA, in the amount of R37
million), and RBSA will likewise abandon the remainder of its claims.
As such, the settlement is a full and final settlement of the arbitration
proceedings and all and any claims between the company and RBSA. The amount to
be paid represents compensation by the company to RBSA for the higher cost to
RBSA of procuring alternative supplies of the products the company would
otherwise have supplied to it, had its manufacturing facility not temporarily
closed for the reasons above, and whilst it underwent a necessary upgrade to
international manufacturing requirements and standards.
The net effect of these settlements negatively affected the earnings per share
(EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) calculations, but should be viewed
as isolated occurrences.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Cipla Medpro Holdings (Pty) Limited (Cipla Medpro), a wholly owned subsidiary of
CMSA, continues its growth, albeit slower than anticipated, and by January 2012
was again ranked third largest pharmaceutical company by value for the 12 months
and third largest for the month of January 2012. Cipla Medpro has an Evolution
Index (EV) of 102,7 (Rands) (IMS, January 2012). The EV of 102,7 is the third
highest of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in South Africa.
The total private market grew by 9,8% in Rands. Cipla Medpro`s performance
outstripped the market, growing by 12,8% in Rands (IMS, January 2012).
We remain focused on growing our brands in over-the-counter (OTC) medicines,
particularly at retail level, and SEP. There is still a huge opportunity to
continue SEP and OTC growth, given the pipeline of medicines we have.
Unfortunately the slow registration process, resulting in a lack of new
first-to-
market products, continues to weigh heavily on our business.
Our top three SEP brands contributed to sales of R190,8 million (12 months)
(IMS, January 2012) into the private sector and still have growth potential.
Lexamil is performing at an EV of 109,8. Of our top 10 OTC products, eight have
EVs of over 100, with Airmune expected to achieve significant turnover in the
next 12 to 18 months.
Our OTC business grew by 10,9% during the 12-month period (IMS, January 2012)
and this excludes sales into retail.
We launched our oncology division during late September 2011 and have started
making inroads already. We look forward to a good trading year with this
division.
The Cipla Vet (small animal) revenue increased by 10,9% to R23,4 million and
Cipla Agrimed (large animal) increased by 44,7% to R77,0 million for the year
ended 31 December 2011. We are pleased with the growth of our animal businesses.
Turnover of the factory increased significantly in 2011 (more than 100%), but
the division still posted a loss, even when the effect of the RBSA settlement is
excluded, mainly as a result of low uptake of ARVs from the government. However,
this trading loss has reduced when compared to the previous years when the RBSA
settlement is excluded. This business continues to improve while providing the
group with a strategic and operational advantage, especially when we start
moving into Africa.
As previously stated, the ARV tender business did not materialise to the numbers
we had expected, probably due to the fact that more PEPFAR (US President`s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) and Global Fund orders were placed. Cipla India
benefited from this, which is borne out by their sales to SCS (Supply Chain
Services).
Although we experienced slower growth than expected (we only launched five
products, mostly late in the second half of the year), we believe 2012 will be
better; provided, of course, that the registrations we expect materialise.
REVIEW OF RESTATED RESULTS
Statement of comprehensive income
CMSA is pleased to report headline earnings of R282,2 million (2010: R195,4
million), an increase of 44,4% for the 12 months ended 31 December 2011. This
translates into an increase of 42,8% to 63,1 cents (2010: 44,2 cents) in HEPS,
based on 446,9 million (2010: 442,5 million) weighted average number of shares
in issue for the 2011 year (before the effects of dilution are taken into
account). This is after accounting for the effect of buying back 7,6 million
CMSA shares in November 2011 (which have been cancelled) at a total cost,
including all expenses, of R50,0 million under the general approval granted by
shareholders at the last annual general meeting held on 25 May 2011. The
reconciliation to headline earnings includes the gain/loss on disposals of
property, plant and equipment and the loss on the deemed disposal of a joint
venture, all net of tax. EPS improved by 42,8% to 63,1 cents (2010: 44,2 cents).
After adjusting for the effect of the mark to market valuation of FECs, the
settlements relating to Pfizer and RBSA, the fair value adjustments on the
interest rate swaps, the interest rate swap settlements and other matters,
normalised HEPS increased by 11,5% to 58,3 cents (2010: 52,3 cents) and
normalised EPS by 11,3% to 58,2 cents (2010: 52,3 cents).
Revenue increased by 22,2% to R1,768 billion (2010: R1,447 billion) and although
the gross profit margin was still at pleasing levels, it decreased to 59,7% from
62,1% at 31 December 2010 - slightly higher than the 58,2% achieved at 30 June
2011. The exchange rate continues to have an impact on the margin and the group
was proud to achieve this result without any SEP increase having been given
during the 2011 year.
Profit before finance costs and income tax for the year increased by 29,8% to
R451,1 million (2010: R347,5 million), with operating expenses increasing from
R557,2 million at 31 December 2010 to R725,7 million for the current year. 62,9%
of the operating expenses were incurred during the second half of the year,
mainly attributable to the RBSA settlement and increased advertising and
marketing costs during the second half of the year, including amounts related to
once-off events.
Net finance costs reduced from R57,8 million to R42,6 million mainly as a result
of the settlement of the preference share liability, the effects of which are
included in the analysis below:
- Interest on preferences shares of R1,0 million (2010: R9,5 million), a
decrease of R8,5 million;
- Fair value gain on interest rate swaps of R4,1 million (2010: loss of R2,2
million);
- Increased outflows of swap settlements of R4,3 million (2010: R2,8 million);
- Interest on the Nedbank Limited long-term loan facilities of R22,5 million
(2010: R18,1 million), an increase of R4,4 million due to the rearrangement of
our debt structure; and
- Finance portion of the provision for the RBSA settlement amount of R7,4
million (2010: Rnil).
Currently the interest cover is at a comfortable level of 7,7 times (2010: 5,7
times). If the settlement amounts and unrealised gains on the mark to market of
FECs are excluded from the calculation, the cover is 6,7 times.
Profit after tax for the year was R287,0 million (2010: R199,3 million). This
was achieved after an improvement in the effective tax rate to 29,7% (2010:
31,2%). The effective tax rate continued to improve, but still remains higher
than the statutory tax rate due to the following factors:
- STC of R6,0 million (2010: R2,7 million);
- Non-deductible preference share interest of R1,0 million (2010: R9,5 million);
and
- Non-deductible IFRS 2 Share-based Payment expenses of R1,5 million (2010:
R10,5 million).
The IFRS 2 Share-based Payment expense has reduced significantly as many of the
previously issued options have vested, while the options issued to staff during
2011, which are in terms of the new CMSA Employee Share Option Scheme, vest over
a five-year period. This expense will increase in the future as more options are
granted, but is not likely to reach the levels seen in the 2010 financial year.
Statement of financial position
Net interest-bearing borrowings have increased by R32,3 million to R385,9
million (2010: R353,6 million). However, the gearing ratio has reduced slightly
to 19,6% (2010: 19,8%), although higher than the 13,7% reported at 30 June 2011
- mainly due to the settlement income from Pfizer. The group`s net cash position
was overdrawn at 31 December 2011 by R90,5 million (2010: R24,8 million) as a
result of the following:
- Payment of the interim dividend of R29,5 million in October 2011;
- Payment of the second provisional tax payment of R72,6 million on 30 December
2011;
- Payment of R50,0 million for the share buy-back, including costs, in November
2011; and
- Amounts totalling R49,2 million owing by certain provincial health
departments, in excess of normal debtor terms.
Debtors days have increased slightly to 64 days (31 December 2010: 63 days and
30 June 2011: 67 days), mainly due to slow and non-payment from certain debtors
as referred to above. Creditors days are currently at 170 days (31 December
2010: 186 days and 30 June 2011: 185 days) with the reduction as a result of
some invoices being settled early to take advantage of the exchange rate, where
possible. The inventory days have increased to 181 days (31 December 2010: 157
days and 30 June 2011: 156 days) due to high levels of ARV stock held at year
end. This was due to facilitating the shutdown from mid-December 2011 to the
beginning of January 2012 for preventative repairs and maintenance. If the ARV
products are excluded from the calculation, the inventory days would reduce to
approximately 151 days.
Statement of cash flows
Cash flows generated from operating activities are R112,0 million (2010: R150,9
million), after adjusting for the non- cash flow effects of depreciation of
R24,1 million (2010: R18,1 million), IFRS 2 Share-based Payment expenses of R1,5
million (2010: R10,5 million) and FEC gains of R109,2 million (2010: loss of
R44,7 million). The final dividend relating to 2010 of R27,2 million was paid to
shareholders during May 2011, and the 2011 interim dividend of R29,5 million was
paid in October 2011 (2010: inaugural interim dividend of R22,5 million).
Investing activities resulted in outflows of R107,0 million (2010: R98,2
million) due to acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets. A net R70,6 million was utilised for financing activities (2010: R17,4
million), mainly for the share buy-back of R50,0 million, the settlement of
R34,5 million of the preference shares to Nedbank Limited and R10,0 million on
the working capital and instalment sale facilities at the factory. This was
offset by drawdowns of R26,0 million on the Nedbank Limited loan facility.
Segmental reporting
Based on the requirements of the group`s chief operating decision maker (CODM)
in 2011, the reporting segments were amended in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating
Segments. As the factory, a previously reported operating segment, is now
producing mainly for the group and with third party manufacturing reducing to
immaterial levels in 2011, the segments reported on to the CODM on a monthly
basis were amended. The segments as per the segment report are the segments
reviewed by the CODM on which to base business decisions. Segmental information
is reported to the CODM up to a profit before finance costs and income tax
level.
