•

compliance, regulatory and litigation matters, including: costs and delays resulting from the extensive governmental regulation to which we are subject; the effects of reforms in healthcare regulation and reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage; governmental investigations into selling and marketing practices; potential liability for patent infringement; product liability claims; increased government scrutiny of our patent settlement agreements; failure to comply with complex Medicare and Medicaid reporting and payment obligations; and environmental risks;

•

other financial and economic risks, including: our exposure to currency fluctuations and restrictions as well as credit risks; potential impairments of our intangible assets; potential significant increases in tax liabilities; and the effect on our overall effective tax rate of the termination or expiration of governmental programs or tax benefits, or of a change in our business;

Basis of preparation of financial statements

a) Statement of compliance

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter referred to as “interim financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. These interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 29, 2020.

b) Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied by the Company in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2020 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim financial statements of the Company.

c) Basis of measurement

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following material items in the statements of financial position:

derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;

financial assets are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost, depending on the classification;

employee defined benefit assets/(liabilities) are recognized as the net total of the fair value of plan assets, adjusted for actuarial gains/(losses) and the present value of the defined benefit obligation;

long-term borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method;

share-based payments are measured at fair value;

investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method; and

right-of-use the assets are recognized at the present value of lease payments that are not paid at that date. This amount is adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, lease incentives received and initial direct costs incurred, if any.

d) Convenience translation

These interim financial statements have been prepared in Indian rupees. Solely for the convenience of the reader, these interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2020 have been translated into U.S. dollars at the certified foreign exchange rate of U.S.$1.00 = Rs.75.53, as published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on June 30, 2020. No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Such convenience translation is not subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

e) Functional and presentation currency

These interim 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.

In respect of certain non-Indian subsidiaries that operate as marketing arms of the parent company in their respective countries/regions, the functional currency has been determined to be the functional currency of the parent company (i.e., the Indian rupee). The operations of these entities are largely restricted to importing of finished goods from the parent company in India, sales of these products in the foreign country and making of import payments to the parent company. The cash flows realized from sales of goods are available for making import payments to the parent company and cash is paid to the parent company on a regular basis. The costs incurred by these entities are primarily the cost of goods imported from the parent company. The financing of these subsidiaries is done directly or indirectly by the parent company.

In respect of subsidiaries whose operations are self-contained and integrated within their respective countries/regions, the functional currency has been generally determined to be the local currency of those countries/regions, unless use of a different currency is considered appropriate.

f) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended March 31, 2020.

g) New accounting standards effective as on April 1, 2020

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business

The amendment to IFRS 3 clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarified that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments had no impact on the interim financial statements of the Company, but may impact future periods should the Company enter into any business combinations.

Segment reporting

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by operating segments. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit as the performance indicator for all of the operating segments, and does not review the total assets and liabilities of an operating segment. The Co-Chairman and Managing Director is the CODM of the Company.

The Company’s reportable operating segments are as follows:

•

Global Generics;

•

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”);

•

Proprietary Products; and

•

Others.

Global Generics. This segment consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing prescription and over-the-counter finished pharmaceutical products ready for consumption by the patient, marketed under a brand name (branded formulations) or as generic finished dosages with therapeutic equivalence to branded formulations (generics). This segment includes the operations of the Company’s biologics business.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients. This segment primarily consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, also known as “API”, which are the principal ingredients for finished pharmaceutical products. Active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates become finished pharmaceutical products when the dosages are fixed in a form ready for human consumption such as a tablet, capsule or liquid using additional inactive ingredients. This segment also includes the Company’s contract research services business and the manufacture and sale of active pharmaceutical ingredients and steroids in accordance with the specific customer requirements.

Proprietary Products. This segment consists of the Company’s business that focuses on the research and development of differentiated formulations. The segment is expected to earn revenues arising out of monetization of such assets and subsequent royalties, if any.

Others. This segment consists of the operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited (“ADTL”), a discovery stage biotechnology company developing novel and best-in-class therapies in the fields of oncology and inflammation. ADTL works with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies through customized models of drug-discovery collaborations.

The measurement of each segment’s revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Represents amounts receivable pursuant to an out-licensing arrangement with a customer. As these amounts are not expected to be realized within twelve months from the end of the reporting date, they are disclosed as non-current.

Pursuant to an arrangement with a bank, the Company sells to the bank certain of its trade receivables forming part of its Global Generics segment, on a non-recourse basis. The receivables sold were mutually agreed upon with the bank after considering the creditworthiness and contractual terms with the customer, including any gross to net adjustments (due to rebates, discounts etc.) from the contracted amounts.

The options exercised had an exercise price of Rs.2,607/Rs.2,814 per share. Upon the exercise of such options, the amount of compensation cost (computed using the grant date fair value) previously recognized in the “share based payment reserve” was transferred to “share premium” in the unaudited consolidated statements of changes in equity. In addition, any difference between the carrying amount of treasury shares and the consideration received was recognized in the “share premium”. As at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the ESOS Trust had outstanding 370,200 and 395,950 shares, respectively, which it purchased from the secondary market for an aggregate consideration of Rs.940 and Rs.1,006, respectively.

Income taxes

Income tax expense is recognized based on the Company’s best estimate of the average annual income tax rate for the fiscal year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The average annual income tax rate is determined for each taxing jurisdiction and applied individually to the interim period pre-tax income of each jurisdiction. The difference between the estimated average annual income tax rate and the enacted tax rate is accounted for by a number of factors, including the effect of differences between Indian and foreign tax rates, expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, income exempted from income taxes, and effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

The Company’s consolidated weighted average tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 34.09% and 22.02%, respectively. Income tax expense was Rs.2,996 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to income tax expense of Rs.1,872 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The effective rate of tax for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was higher as compared to three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily on account of the reduction in tax deduction on eligible research and development expenditure from 150% to 100%, with effect from April 1, 2020, as per the provisions of Income Tax Act of India.

Total tax expenses of Rs.156 and benefits of Rs.23 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were recognized directly in the equity.

Employee benefit plans

Gratuity benefits provided by the parent company

In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company has a defined benefit plan which provides for gratuity payments (the “Gratuity Plan”) and covers certain categories of employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum gratuity payment to eligible employees at retirement or termination of their employment. The amount of the payment is based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. Effective September 1, 1999, the Company established the Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Gratuity Fund (the “Gratuity Fund”) to fund the Gratuity Plan. Liabilities in respect of the Gratuity Plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes contributions to the Gratuity Fund. Trustees administer the contributions made to the Gratuity Fund. Amounts contributed to the Gratuity Fund are invested in bonds issued by the Government of India, in debt securities and in equity securities of Indian companies. The liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation was Rs.286 and Rs.189 as at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Compensated absences

The Company provides for accumulation of compensated absences by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilized compensated absences and utilize them in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Company’s policy. The Company records a liability for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The total liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation was Rs.904 and Rs.1,161 as at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

21. Financial Instruments (continued)

⁽¹⁾

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions and banks. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward option and swap contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing, swap models and Black-Scholes-Merton models (for option valuation), using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including foreign exchange forward rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves.

As at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.

Hedges of foreign currency exchange rate risks

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk which arises from its foreign exchange revenues and expenses, primarily in U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds sterling, Russian roubles, Brazilian reals, Swiss francs, South African rands, Kazakhstan tenges, Romanian new leus and Euros, and foreign currency debt in U.S. dollars, South African rands, Russian roubles, Brazilian reals and Mexican pesos.

The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts (derivative financial instruments) to mitigate its risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses non-derivative financial instruments as part of its foreign currency exposure risk mitigation strategy. Non-derivative financial instruments consist of investments in mutual funds, bonds and market linked debentures, commercial papers, equity and debt securities, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and trade payables.

Details of gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts

The following table presents details in respect of the gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts during the applicable period ended:

	For the three months ended June 30,
	2020			2019
Net loss recognized in finance costs in respect of foreign exchange derivative contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps contracts	Rs.	(496)		Rs.	(28)
Net gain/(loss) recognized in equity in respect of hedges of highly probable forecast transactions		471			(84	)
Net gain/(loss) reclassified from equity and recognized as component of revenue occurrence of forecasted transaction		(144	)		41

The net carrying amount of the Company’s “hedging reserve” as a component of equity before adjusting for tax impact was a loss of Rs.250 as at June 30, 2020, as compared to a loss of Rs.721 as at March 31, 2020.

22.

Contingencies

The Company is involved in disputes, lawsuits, claims, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”), including patent and commercial matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Most of the claims involve complex issues. Often, these issues are subject to uncertainties and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amount of any loss is difficult to ascertain. Consequently, for a majority of these claims, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings. This is due to a number of factors, including: the stage of the proceedings (in many cases trial dates have not been set) and the overall length and extent of pre-trial discovery; the entitlement of the parties to an action to appeal a decision; clarity as to theories of liability; damages and governing law; uncertainties in timing of litigation; and the possible need for further legal proceedings to establish the appropriate amount of damages, if any. In these cases, the Company discloses information with respect to the nature and facts of the case. The Company also believes that disclosure of the amount sought by plaintiffs, if that is known, would not be meaningful with respect to those legal proceedings.

Although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any of the Legal Proceedings referred to in this Note, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, as it believes that the likelihood of loss in excess of amounts accrued (if any) is not probable. However, if one or more of such Legal Proceedings were to result in judgments against the Company, such judgments could be material to its results of operations in a given period.

Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2020 contains a summary of significant Legal Proceedings. The following is a summary, as of the date of this quarterly report, of significant developments in those proceedings as well as any new significant proceedings commenced since the date such Annual Report on Form 20-F was filed.

Product and patent related matters

Launch of product

On June 14, 2018, the U.S. FDA granted the Company final approval for buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film, 2 mg/0.5 mg, 4 mg/1 mg, 8 mg/2 mg, and 12 mg/3 mg dosages, a therapeutic equivalent generic version of Suboxone® sublingual film. The U.S. FDA approval came after the conclusion of litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Delaware District Court”), where the Delaware District Court held that patents covering Suboxone® sublingual film would not be infringed by the Company’s commercial launch of its generic sublingual film product. In light of the favorable decision from the Delaware District Court, the Company launched its generic sublingual film product in the United States immediately following the U.S. FDA approval on June 14, 2018. On July 12, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“the Court of Appeals”) affirmed the Delaware District Court’s ruling that the Company’s generic version of Suboxone® sublingual films did not infringe the two remaining patents at issue in the Delaware District Court’s case (U.S. patent numbers 8,603,514 and 8,015,150).

After the Delaware District Court’s decision, Indivior filed a second lawsuit against the Company alleging infringement of three additional U.S. patents (numbers 9,687,454, 9,855,221 and 9,931,305) in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “New Jersey District Court”), styled Indivior Inc. et al. v. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories S.A., Civil Action No. 2:17-cv-07111 (D.N.J.). Following the launch, on June 15, 2018, Indivior filed an emergency application for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the Company in the New Jersey District Court. Indivior’s motion alleged that the Company’s generic sublingual film product infringed one of three U.S. patents (number 9,931,305) at issue in the New Jersey District Court. Pending a hearing and decision on the injunction application, the New Jersey District Court initially issued a temporary restraining order against the Company with respect to further sales, offer for sales, and imports of its generic sublingual film product in the United States. Subsequently, on July 14, 2018, the New Jersey District Court granted a preliminary injunction in favor of Indivior. Under the order, Indivior was required to and did post a bond of U.S.$72 to pay the costs and damages sustained by the Company if it was found to be wrongfully enjoined. The Company immediately appealed the decision, and the Court of Appeals agreed to expedite the appeal.

On November 20, 2018, the Court of Appeals issued a decision vacating the preliminary injunction. The Court of Appeals denied Indivior’s petition for rehearing on February 4, 2019.

Indivior subsequently filed two emergency motions in the Court of Appeals to stay issuance of the mandate and to keep the preliminary injunction in place, which the Court of Appeals denied. Indivior then petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to stay issuance of the mandate.

Indivior’s petition was denied by the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court on February 19, 2019, and the mandate was issued on the same day. The Company resumed sales of its generic sublingual film product after the mandate was issued.

On February 19, 2019, the New Jersey District Court entered a stipulated order of dismissal of Indivior’s claims under U.S. patent number 9,855,221. On November 5, 2019, the New Jersey District Court issued its claim construction decision construing certain terms in U.S. patent numbers 9,931,305 and 9,687,454. After such claim construction decision, on January 8, 2020, the New Jersey District Court entered a stipulated order that the Company’s generic sublingual film product does not infringe the asserted claims in U.S. patent number 9,931,305. In the stipulated order, Indivior reserved the ability to appeal the New Jersey District Court’s claim construction order. The Company has filed a motion requesting the New Jersey District Court enter partial final judgment in the Company’s favor relating to the allegations of infringement of U.S. patent number 9,931,305.

On November 11, 2019, a Magistrate Judge in the District of New Jersey granted the Company leave to file a counterclaim against Indivior that alleges that Indivior engaged in anticompetitive conduct by making false or misleading statements to the New Jersey District Court during the preliminary injunction proceedings in violation of federal antitrust laws. Indivior has appealed the Magistrate Judge’s decision to the New Jersey District Court. The Court has ordered that discovery on the Company’s counterclaim will proceed uninterrupted, and that there will be separate trials to address the antitrust claim and Indivior’s only remaining infringement claims, regarding U.S. patent number 9,687,454.

Contingencies (continued)

The parties continue to litigate Indivior’s allegation that the Company’s generic sublingual film products infringe any valid claim of U.S. patent number 9,687,454, with such litigation ongoing before the New Jersey District Court and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”).

In the PTAB, on November 13, 2018, the Company filed two petitions for inter-partes review challenging the validity of certain claims of U.S. patent number 9,687,454 before the PTAB. On June 13, 2019, the PTAB agreed to institute inter-partes review on one of the two petitions filed by the Company. The PTAB heard oral argument in the pending inter-partes review challenge on March 3, 2020.

On June 2, 2020, the PTAB issued a final written decision in the Company’s favor finding that the Company had demonstrated that claims 1–5, 7, and 9–14 of the ’454 patent were unpatentable. The PTAB upheld the validity of only one of the challenged claims, claim 8. Additionally, claim 6 was not at issue in the inter-partes review and therefore not subject to the final written decision. Claims 6 and 8 remain asserted against the Company in the New Jersey District Court litigation. The PTAB’s decision becomes effective after the time for Indivior to appeal has expired or after any appeal taken by Indivior has concluded.

The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions and pursue a claim for damages caused by the preliminary injunction. Any liability that may arise on account of this litigation is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision was made in the interim financial statements of the Company.

Matters relating to National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority

Litigation relating to Cardiovascular and Anti-diabetic formulations

As previously disclosed, the Company is involved in legal proceedings with India’s National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority regarding allegations that the Company violated the maximum prices permissible for various formulations in the cardiovascular and anti-diabetic therapeutic areas under applicable price control regulations. Following the adjournment of a hearing before the Delhi High Court which had been scheduled in June 2020, the Company is awaiting notification of a new hearing date.

Other product and patent related matters

Namenda Litigation

In August 2015, Sergeants Benevolent Assoc. Health & Welfare Fund (“Sergeants”) filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Sergeants alleged that certain parties, including the Company, violated federal antitrust laws as a consequence of having settled patent litigation related to the Alzheimer’s drug Namenda® (memantine) tablets during a period from about 2009 until 2010. Sergeants seeks to represent a class of “end payor” purchasers of Namenda® tablets (i.e., insurers, other third-party payors and consumers).

Sergeants seeks damages based upon an allegation made in the complaint that the defendants entered into patent settlements regarding Namenda® tablets for the purpose of delaying generic competition and facilitating the brand innovator’s attempt to shift sales from the original immediate release product to the more recently introduced extended release product. The Company believes that the complaint lacks merit and that the Company’s conduct complied with all applicable laws and regulations.

Defendants' motions to dismiss were denied. Fact discovery has closed, and expert discovery is ongoing. Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification on July 6, 2020, and this motion is pending.

On November 5, 2019 plaintiffs MSP Recovery Claims, Series LLC and MSPA Claims 1, LLC filed suit against the Company and other drug manufacturers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The claims in this complaint were similar in nature to the claims in the Sergeants lawsuit, and those cases were coordinated for discovery purposes. On April 14, 2020, with the consent of the Company and the other defendants, plaintiffs MSP Recovery Claims, Series LLC and MSPA Claims 1, LLC voluntarily dismissed their claims without prejudice.

Other class action complaints containing similar allegations to the Sergeants complaint have also been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. However, apart from the Sergeants case described above, there are no such class actions that are pending and that name the Company as a defendant.

In addition, the State of New York filed an antitrust case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case brought by the State of New York contained some (but not all) of the allegations set forth in the class action complaints, but the Company was not named as a party. The case brought by the State of New York was dismissed by stipulation on November 30, 2015.

The Company believes that the likelihood of any liability that may arise on account of alleged violation of federal antitrust laws is not probable. Accordingly, no provision was made in the interim financial statements of the Company.

Ranitidine Recall and Litigation

On October 1, 2019, the Company initiated a voluntary nationwide retail (at the retail level for over-the-counter products and at the consumer level for prescription products) of all of its ranitidine medications sold in the United States due to the presence of N-Nitrosodimethylamine (“NDMA”) above levels established by the U.S. FDA. NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) based on results from laboratory tests. On November 1, 2019, the U.S. FDA issued a statement indicating that it had found levels of NDMA in ranitidine from its testing generally that were “similar to the levels you would expect to be exposed to if you ate common foods like grilled or smoked meats.” See https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/statement-new-testing-results-including-low-levels-impurities-ranitidine-drugs. The U.S. FDA has indicated that its investigation and testing continue. On April 1, 2020, the U.S. FDA issued a press release announcing that it was requesting manufacturers to withdraw all prescription and over-the-counter ranitidine drugs from the market immediately. The U.S. FDA stated that it “has determined that the impurity in some ranitidine products increases over time and when stored at higher than room temperatures may result in consumer exposure to unacceptable levels of this impurity.” See https://www.fda.gov/safety/medical-product-safety-information/all-ranitidine-products-zantac-press-release-fda-requests-removal?utm_campaign=FDA%20MedWatch.

As referenced in Note 32 of the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2020, various ranitidine related complaints were filed against the parent company, one of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and the Company’s Swiss subsidiary, along with numerous other pharmaceutical manufacturers and retailers. These complaints were subsumed by the June 22, 2020 filing of three new master complaints – a Master Personal Injury Complaint, a Consolidated Consumer Class Action Complaint and a Consolidated Third-Party Payor Class Action Complaint.

During the quarter ending June 30, 2020, the New Mexico State Attorney General filed suit against the Company’s U.S. subsidiary, and multiple other manufacturers and retailers.

The Company believes that all of the aforesaid complaints and asserted claims are without merit, denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. Also, any liability that may arise on account of these claims is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision was made in these interim financial statements of the Company.

United States Antitrust Multi-District Litigation

As previously disclosed , the Attorneys General for forty-nine U.S. States, plus the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, filed a lawsuit asserting claims against a number of pharmaceutical companies, including the Company’s subsidiary, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc., alleging conspiracies to fix prices and to allocate bids and customers, and such case was subsequently consolidated with certain private plaintiff class actions in a multi-district litigation (“MDL”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, MDL 2724, In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Antitrust Pricing Litigation (the “MDL-2724”).

Antitrust Case Filed by Rite Aid Corporation and Rite Aid Hdqtrs. Corp.

On July 9, 2020, Rite Aid Corporation and Rite Aid Hdqtrs Corp. filed a complaint on their own behalf, and as assignee of McKesson Corporation with regard to drugs sold by McKesson to Rite Aid, against the Company’s U.S. subsidiary and forty-six other defendants, involving a total of one hundred thirty-five generic drugs, alleging an “overarching conspiracy” to fix prices and to rig bids and allocate customers with respect to these drugs. The Company’s U.S. subsidiary is specifically named with respect to nine drugs: ciprofloxacin ER, divalproex ER, fluconazole, glimepiride, meprobamate, oxaprozine, paricalcitol, tizanidine and zoledronic acid.

Plaintiffs also allege that the Company’s U.S. subsidiary was part of a larger “overarching conspiracy” with all other manufacturers named as to all of the drugs named in the complaint; and, alternatively, was part of an overarching conspiracy with eighteen of the defendants named with regard to forty-five of the drugs named. The complaint also alleges violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. §1. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, recovery of treble damages, and attorney’s fees and costs against all defendants on a joint and several basis. The Company denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

The Company believes that all of the aforesaid complaints and asserted claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. Also, any liability that may arise on account of these claims is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision was made in the interim financial statements of the Company.

Business Transfer Agreement with Wockhardt Limited (continued)

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent government restrictions, there has been a reduction in the revenue from the sales of the products forming part of the Business Undertaking during March and April 2020. Accordingly, through an amendment to the BTA, the Company and Wockhardt agreed that the consideration shall now be upto Rs.18,500, to be paid as per the following terms:

an amount of Rs.14,830 was paid on the date of closing;

an amount of Rs.670 was deposited in an escrow account which shall be released subject to adjustments for, inter alia, net working capital, employee liabilities and certain other contractual and statutory liabilities;

an amount of Rs.3,000 (the “Holdback Amount”) which shall be released as follows:

If the revenue from sales of the products forming part of the Business Undertaking during the twelve (12) months post-closing exceeds Rs.4,800, the Company will be required to pay to Wockhardt, an amount equal to two (2) times the amount by which the revenue exceeds Rs.4,800, subject to the maximum of the Holdback Amount.

The transaction involved 2,051 employees engaged in operations of the acquired Business Undertaking.

The Company has accounted for the transaction under IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”. The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of consideration, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition.

As of June 30, 2020, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair market value of the consideration involved, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, including the validation of the underlying cash flows used to determine the fair value of the identified intangible assets. The size and breadth of the acquisition necessitates need for additional period to adequately analyze all the factors used in establishing the fair values of asset and liability as of the acquisition date, including, but not limited to, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and contingent consideration involved.

Tabulated below is the preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of June 30, 2020:

Particulars	Amount
Cash		14,990
Balances in Escrow account		536
Contingent consideration (Holdback Amount)		70
Total consideration		15,596
Assets acquired
Goodwill		791
Property, plant and equipment		373
Product related intangibles		14,141
Inventories		435
Other assets		243
Liabilities assumed
Employee benefits		(145	)
Refund liability		(242	)
Total net assets		15,596

Acquisition related costs amounted to Rs.60 and were excluded from the consideration transferred and were recognized as expense under “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim income statements for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The amount of revenue included in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim income statements since June 10, 2020 pertaining to the business acquired from Wockhardt was Rs.171 for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Segment Analysis

Global Generics

Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.35,075 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 6% as compared to Rs.32,982 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the foregoing increase in revenues of this segment was attributable to the following factors:

a 9% increase on account of the introduction of new products during the period, which was partially offset by the decreases referenced below;

a 1% decrease on account of a decrease in the sales volumes of existing products in this segment; and

an approximately 2% decrease resulting from the net impact of changes in sales prices of the products in this segment.

North America (the United States and Canada): Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from North America (the United States and Canada) were Rs.17,282 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 6% as compared to Rs.16,323 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues decreased by 2% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019.

This decrease in revenues was largely attributable to the price erosion in certain of our existing products which was partially offset by benefit from new product launches between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020, such as pyrimethamine, carboprost, esomeprazole naproxen, pregabalin and fosaprepitant.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we launched six new products in North America (the United States and Canada). These new products are abiraterone acetate tablets, amphetamine sulphate tablets, colchicine tablets, desmopressin acetate injection, fenofibrate tablets, and NitroDur® (nitroglycerin) transdermal infusion.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we made 5 new ANDA filing to the U.S. FDA. As of June 30, 2020, we had 101 filings pending approval with the U.S. FDA, which includes 99 ANDAs and 2 NDAs filed under section 505(b)(2). Out of these 99 ANDA filings, 54 are Paragraph IV filings and we believe we are the first to file with respect to 28 of these filings.

Europe: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Europe are primarily derived from Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Spain. Such revenues were Rs.3,551 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 48% as compared to Rs 2,404 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily on account of an increase in volumes of our existing products and new products launched between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020, partly offset by a decrease in prices of our existing products.

India: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from India for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were Rs.6,260 million, a decrease of 10% as compared to Rs.6,960 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was largely attributable to the reduction in sales volume of our existing products; partially offset by increase in price of our existing products and contribution from new product launches during the period. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we launched four new brands in India.

According to IQVIA in its report for the three months ended June 30, 2020, our secondary sales in India decreased by 19.3% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market’s decline of 4.9%. Our secondary sales growth is post considering portfolio of products acquired from Wockhardt.

Emerging Markets: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, wherein the major markets are China, South Africa and Brazil) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were Rs.7,982 million, an increase of 9% as compared to Rs.7,295 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Russia: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were Rs.3,272 million, a decrease of 17% as compared to Rs.3,964 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues decreased by 15%. The decrease in revenues was primarily on account of a decrease in sales volumes of our existing products, partially offset by an increase in prices of our existing products and contribution from new products launched between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020. Our over-the-counter (“OTC”) division’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were 43% of our total revenues from Russia.

According to IQVIA, as per its report for the two months ended May 31, 2020, our sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth was as follows:

	For the two months ended May 31, 2020
	Dr. Reddy's Laboratories				Russian pharmaceutical market
	Sales value		Volume		Sales value		Volume
Prescription (Rx)		(8.0%)		(16.7%)		(10.3%)		(13.8%)
Over-the-counter (OTC)		(3.8%)		(13.2%)		(2.0%)		(8.8%)
Total (Rx + OTC)		(6.1%)		(15.5%)		(6.3%)		(10.5%)

Other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania were Rs.1,388 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 15% as compared to Rs.1,206 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was largely attributable to an increase in sales volumes of our existing products and additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020, partially offset by a reduction in the prices of certain of our existing products.

“Rest of the World” Markets: We refer to all markets of this segment other than North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and India as our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.3,322 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 56% as compared to Rs.2,127 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was due to an increase in the sales volumes of our existing products and new products launched between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020, partially offset by a reduction in the prices of certain of our existing products.

Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)

Our PSAI segment’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were Rs.8,553 million, an increase of 88% as compared to Rs.4,539 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was attributable to an increase in sales volumes of our existing products and new product launched between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020, partially offset by a reduction in prices of our existing products.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we filed 16 Drug Master Files (“DMFs”) across the world.

Proprietary Products

Revenues from our Proprietary Products segment were Rs.56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 80% as compared to Rs.281 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to out-licensing of the Neuro brands during the last financial year.

Gross Profit

Our total gross profit was Rs.24,755 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, representing 56.0% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.19,859 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, representing 51.7% of our revenues for that period.

The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, our gross profits by segment:

	For the three months ended June 30,
	2020					2019
	(Rs. in millions)
	Gross Profit		% of Segment Revenue			Gross Profit		% of Segment Revenue
Global Generics	Rs.	21,526		61.4	%	Rs.	19,007		57.6	%
Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)		2,856		33.4	%		325		7.2	%
Proprietary Products		56		100.3	%		207		73.7	%
Others		317		64.6	%		320		50.5	%
Total	Rs.	24,755		56.0	%	Rs.	19,859		51.7	%

The gross profit from our Global Generics segment increased to 61.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 57.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was on account of the net benefit from exchange rate fluctuations of multiple currencies against the Indian rupee, new product launches with higher gross margins and increases in the proportion of sales of certain products with higher gross margins. This increase was partially offset by reductions on account of price erosion in certain of our products, primarily in the United States, Europe, Brazil and South Africa.

The gross profits from our PSAI segment increased to 33.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 7.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily on account of operating leverage due to higher sales and changes in existing product mix (i.e., an increase in the proportion of sales of products with higher gross margins and a decrease in the proportion of sales of products with lower gross margins). Manufacturing overheads for our PSAI segment were at same levels during both periods, which further aided the improvement in gross margins of this segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.12,786 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 6% as compared to Rs.12,065 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. After taking into account the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was largely attributable to the following:

a 6% increase due to increased costs of logistics for supply of goods and increased shipment rates;

a 3% increase due to increased personnel costs, legal & professional and depreciation & amortization, contributing 1% each;

a 2% increase due to increased rent, rates & taxes and insurance expenses;

a 2% increase due to increased other costs; and

the foregoing was partially offset by a 7% decrease due to reduced selling and advertisement expenses.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 28.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 31.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Research and development expenses

Our research and development expenses were Rs.3,980 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 10% as compared to Rs.3,609 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was largely on account of higher developmental expenditures on certain projects in generics and biosimilars.

As a proportion of our total revenues, our research and development expenses was at 9.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to 9.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Other income, net

Our net other income was Rs.118 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net other income of Rs.3,759 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The other income was higher for the three months ended June 30, 2019 mainly on account of Rs. 3,457 million received from Celgene pursuant to an agreement entered towards settlement of any claim we or our affiliates may have had for damages under section 8 of the Canadian Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations in regard to our ANDS for a generic version of REVLIMID brand capsules, (Lenalidomide) pending before Health Canada.

Finance income, net

Our net finance income was Rs.605 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net finance income of Rs.393 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase in net finance income was due to the following:

profit on sale of investments and unrealized gains on investments recorded at fair value through profit and loss of Rs.258 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to profit on sale of investments of Rs.311 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019;

net interest income of Rs.48 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net interest expense of Rs.72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019; and

net foreign exchange gain of Rs.299 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net foreign exchange gain of Rs.154 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Profit before tax

As a result of the above, our profit before tax was Rs.8,789 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to Rs.8,500 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Profit for the period

As a result of the above, our net profit was Rs.5,793 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, representing 13.1% of our total revenues for such period, as compared to Rs.6,628 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, representing 17.2% of our total revenues for such period.
