Attended the recent conf. call on Pharma Strategy given by AP. Following are my takeaways.
- Investments into Piramal Imaging will stop by the end of the quarter. Alzheimer’s trials didn’t go well and the company has decided to stop investing. Last year this division lost 166 Cr.
- Rapidly increasing the product revenues compared to services. Planning to increase the product revenue share to ~65% by 2020 from ~50% as of now.
- Following are the projections for 2020
– Revenue : 6500 -7000 Cr
– EBITDA margins: 20-25% (single digit as of now) - All the assets and liabilities of finance business have been moved to Piramal Finance subsidiary
