Background
Amrutanjan was established as a patent medicine business in Mumbai in 1893 by Sri. K Nageswara Rao Pantulu. The
headquarters was shifted to Chennai in 1914. In a recent development in February 2012, Mr Sambhu Prasad, MD, was re-
designated as the Chairman and MD of the company. Furthermore, the board approved the merger of SSD with Amrutanjan.

As Amrutanjan is offering OTC products under the rubefacient category, the marketing and distribution aspects will be key
to expand the reach of Amrutanjan’s products. The company’s products are sold through a strong distribution network, well
supported by over 3.5 lakh retailers and 1,750 stockists as on March 31, 2011.

Other than SSD, Amrutanjan has a subsidiary by the name of Holistic Beauty Care Ltd., for which there was no commercial
operation in FY11. The company plans to exit from another subsidiary, i.e. Data Quest Infotech & Enterprises Ltd. (DQI), in
which Amrutanjan held Rs.3 cr of investments as on March 31, 2011. Amrutanjan has also granted loans & advances of
Rs.17.1 cr to DQI as on March 31, 2011.

Amrutanjan bought back 106,937 fully paid up equity shares of Rs.10 each at a tender offer at a price of Rs.900 per share
through a share buyback program, which was completed in July 2011. On completion, the company’s share capital was
reduced to Rs.2.9 cr as on March 31, 2012 from Rs.3.0 cr as on March 31, 2011. The board of directors recommended a final
dividend of Rs.10 per share for FY12. In August 2012, the company’s board of directors approved sub-division of the
existing equity share of nominal value of Rs.10 into two equity shares of nominal value of Rs.5 each.
Business overview
With the addition of the Fruitnik brand during the year, Amrutanjan operates in three business segments namely OTC
products, chemicals and beverages. It derived 80% of the revenue from OTC products and 14% of the revenue from the
beverages segment in FY12. The company earns its revenues majorly from the domestic market.

The company generally earns an EBITDA margin of 11-15% wherein the key expense is towards consumption of materials.
Amrutanjan has incurred significant cash outgo for advertising and marketing programs, which are crucial in case of fast-
moving OTC products. On a consolidated basis, the company spent Rs.9.8 cr in FY12 for advertisement as against Rs.7 cr in
FY11, reflecting the importance attached to branding initiatives.

Net Sales of the company went up from Rs.105.4 crore in FY 11 to Rs.142.6 crore in FY12, registering a growth of 35.3%,
whereas PAT came down to Rs.9.63 crore from Rs.10.21 crore in the same period.
Strengths and growth drivers
 Amrutanjan has a longstanding track record of operations and an established brand name
 The marketing and distribution networks are effective, which are necessary in case of fast-moving OTC product segment
Risk and concerns
 The company is exposed to raw material price volatility and rising input costs, such as the increasing manpower costs and
purchase costs of materials
 The segments in which Amrutanjan is present are intensely competitive
 Also key to the profitability of Amrutanjan will be the performance of the newly-added beverages segment
Future strategy and expansion plans
The company aggressively pursues marketing and advertising communications, which is necessary for any FMCG/OTC
based brand to retain its market share. Also the company undertakes diversifications such as the entry into the beverages
segments and plans to strengthen its distribution networks.
Industry outlook
The Indian Pharmaceutical Industry (IPI) is amongst the largest in the world and has grown to a total market size of
Rs.117,860 crore (around US$26 bn) in FY2011E (Source: Dept of Pharmaceuticals/CARE Research estimates) backed by
robust growth in terms of healthcare infrastructure development, technology base and a wide range of products. Total market
size includes the domestic market, the export and the import markets. The IPI is now the third-largest in the world in terms
of volume and 14th-largest in terms of value thereby accounting for around 10% of world’s production by volume and 2% by
value due to lower prices. The industry now produces about 500 bulk drugs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients-API) and
almost the entire range of formulations related to all major therapeutic groups requiring complex manufacturing technologies.
The domestic formulations market constitutes the single-largest chunk of the IPI (approximately 80% of the IPI) and serves
all major therapeutic segments meeting all domestic requirements. It is primarily dominated by branded generic drugs. This is
supported by availability of strong scientific and technical manpower backed by pioneering work done in process
development.

The bulk drugs industry has grown at a CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) of 15% over 2005-2010 (Source: Bulk
Drugs Manufacture Association, India). With the growing presence of generic products in the innovator companies’ portfolio
the demand for quality APIs at cheaper rates has increased so as to face the rising price erosion in the generic market. Also
the presence of Indian CRAMS (Contract Research and Manufacturing Services) has increased among the drug innovators
which will further boost the exports of bulk drugs.
