Sales
Sales of pharmaceutical products, medical equipment and disposables are the company’s core line of business. Sales of pharmaceutical products accounted for 97.3%, and of medical equipment, for 2.7%, in total sales in 1H09. Pharmaceutical products and medical equipment are mostly sold under direct contracts with wholesalers and/or treatment facilities. Total sales stood at RUR 10,062 mln in absolute terms in 1H09, having increased by 62 % y-o-y (RUR 6,198 mln).
Sales of pharmaceutical products rose by 73% for the entire 1H09, which was largely due to the governmental tender for Velcade supply held in 2Q09. Participation in the tender positively influenced revenues but pulled down the key efficiency indicators for the company’s current business because margin for Velcade distribution is lower than that of core line of business. Below are provided the company’s financial indicators, excluding the impact of the Velcade tender.

Therefore, except for the Velcade impact, the Company shows a steady growth in total sales.
Pharmaceutical Products
OTC sales were up by RUR 1,408 mln, or 33%, from RUR 4,324 mln in 1H08 to RUR 5,732 mln in 1H09, which largely resulted from the active promotion strategy. The actively promoted products, such as Arbidol, Pentalgin, Complivit and Codelac, are still the greatest contributors to the growth. For instance, Arbidol sales increased by RUR 454 mln, or 44%, over 1H08 y-o-y. As mentioned above, significant growth in 1H09 was achieved for Pentalgin (RUR 255 mln), Complivit (RUR 144 mln) and Codelac (RUR 183 mln), or by 37%, 42% and 116%, respectively.
In 1H09, the Company began manufacturing and sales of two new strategic OTC drugs – Codelac Broncho and Magnelis В6 (in March 09 and April 09, respectively). The absolute sales came to RUR 7 mln for Codelac Broncho and to RUR 2 mln for Magnelis B6 in 1H09.
Rx sales increased by RUR 2,688 mln, or 203%, from RUR 1,327 mln in 1Н08 to RUR 4,015 mln in 1Н09. As mentioned above, this growth was largely due by Velcade contribution. As this product was supplied under a governmental tender, Rx sales results are considered exclusive of Velcade. Therefore, without taking into account tender sales, the organic Rx sales increase (exclusive of Velcade) came to 31%, or RUR 410 mln, from RUR 1,327 mln in 1H08 to RUR 1,737 mln in 1H09. Such drugs as Combilipen (growth by RUR 88 mln), Azitrox (by RUR 46 mln), Picamilon (by RUR 43 mln), or by 37%, 7% and 174%, respectively, were the greatest contributors to organic growth in Rx sales in 1H09. It is noteworthy that Combilipen is a new own drug launched in 2008. Sales of the drugs that influenced growth in 2008 were also steadily rising: Phosphogliv (by RUR 20 mln, or 29%), Cyclodol (by RUR 19 mln, or 86%), and Biosulin (by RUR 16 mln, or 119%).
Medical Equipment and Disposables
Sales of medical equipment and disposables confirmed the earlier forecasted reduction. Sales were down by 48%, to RUR 273 mln, in 1H09 vs. RUR 526 mln in 1H08. Such downward trends are largely due to contraction of the market for governmental purchases in the hospital industry by an average of 40% as a result of the global financial squeeze.
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales includes the costs of raw materials and goods for resale, overheads, direct labor costs, depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets. The cost of sales advanced by RUR 2,740 mln, or by 108%, to RUR 5,287 mln in 1H09 vs RUR 2,548 mln in 2008. The organic cost increase (net of Velcade) came to 21.7%, or RUR 552.6 mln.
Raw materials and Goods for Resale (86%) is the greatest cost item in the cost structure. Costs for this item mounted by RUR 2,606 mln, or by 136%, to RUR 4,520 mln, in 1H09 vs RUR 1,915 mln in 1Н08. These changes were triggered by the scheduled increase in the scope of production of pharmaceutical products and purchase of Velcade. The organic growth is equal to 22%, or RUR 419 mln, in the cost structure in 1H09, net of Velcade; the costs for this item stood at 75% as equal to that of 1H08.
Depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangible assets amounted to RUR 333 mln (6% of cost of sales), having increased by RUR 39 mln, or by 13%, y-o-y. The growth was fuelled by introduction of new production facilities on Pharmstandart – Tomschimfarm OJSC and Pharmstandart – Ufavita OJSC in 1H09 and amortization of the Afobazol brand purchased in 2H08.
Generally, the cost of sales rose to 52.5% in sales in 1H09 vs 41.1% y-o-y, which is due to participation in the Velcade tender; the analysis of organic changes suggests that the cost of sales dropped from 41% in total sales in 1H08 to 40% in 1H09.
Under the impact of the above factors, the Company’s gross profits grew by 1,124 mln, or 31% increase, from RUR 3,651 mln in 1H08 to RUR 4,775 mln in 1H09. However, in percentage terms, the share of gross profits in total sales was down from 59% in 1Н08 to 48% in 1Н09.
The key factor in the existing trends is the earlier mentioned tender supply of Velcade, because gross profits for distribution of this drug is 4%. Therefore, the organic growth in gross profits (net of Velcade) amounts to RUR 1,033 mln, or 28%, from RUR 3,651 mln in 1H08 to RUR 4,684 mln in 1H09. In percentage terms, this indicator accounted for 60% in total sales in 1H09 and for 59%, in 1H08.
Operating Costs
Operating costs dropped by RUR 26 mln, or 2%, from RUR 1,290 mln in 1H08 to RUR 1,264 mln in 1H09. In percentage terms, this indicator came from 21% in 1H08 to 13% in 1H09.
Selling and distribution (S&D) expenses shrank by RUR 21 mln (2%), to RUR 943 mln, in 1H09 vs RUR 964 mln in 1H08, accounting for 9.4% and 15.5% of sales of the appropriate periods.
Marketing expenses and advertising and promotion expenses (47% of S&D) were down by RUR 37 mln (2%) in 1H09. Labour costs (29% of S&D) rose by RUR 8 mln in 1H09 (by 3%) y-o-y, largely due staff increase by 114 employees in production facilities of Pharmstandart – Ufavita OJSC (ampoule production) and of Pharmstandart – Tomschimfarm OJSC (transfer to own production and scaling up production facilities for Arbidol tablets, Amixin tablets, etc.).
Other expenses (23.8% of S&D) grew by RUR 9.3 mln, or 4%, to RUR 224.9 mln in 1H09 vs RUR 215.7 mln y-o-y. The growth was largely due to increase in the cost of services in such items as Freight, Communication and Insurance of Goods in Transit (by RUR 10.0 mln, or 18%), Materials, Maintenance and Utilities (by RUR 12.1 mln, or 61%) and Depreciation (by RUR 7.8 mln, or 44%). It is also noteworthy that other expenses within S&D expenses decreased for such items as Trainings and Other Services (by RUR 17.4 mln, or 63%) and Travel and Entertainment (by RUR 7.1 mln, or 26%) in 1H09 y-o-y.
General and administrative costs (G&A) expenses dropped by RUR 6 mln, or by 2%, to RUR 321 mln, in 1H09 from RUR 327 mln in 1Н08.
As a result of the above factors, operating profit soared by RUR 1,150 mln, or 49%, from RUR 2,360 mln in 1Н08 to RUR 3,510 mln in 1Н09, and accounted for 35% in total sales in 1H09 vs 38% y-o-y.
This profitability reduction is due to participation in the governmental tender (for Velcade). The organic trends point to the increase in operating profit by RUR 1,064 mln, or 45%, from RUR 2,360 mln in 1Н08 to RUR 3,424 mln in 1Н09. Operating profit accounted for 44% in sales in 1H09 vs 38% in 1H08.
Other expenses
In 2009, other expenses amounted to RUR 186 mln, or 2% of sales. Foreign exchange loss in 1H09 came to RUR 259 mln in comparison with foreign exchange gain of RUR

The profit attributable to the parent of the company stood at RUR 2.584 mln in 1H09. The organic profit for 1H 2009 is 32%.
