Who We Are

Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. belongs to Beximco Group, the largest private sector business conglomerate in Bangladesh. 
Incorporated  in  the  late  70s,  Beximco  Pharma  began  as  a  distributor,  importing  products  from  global  MNCs  like  Bayer, 
Germany and Upjohn Inc., USA and selling them in the local market, which were later manufactured and distributed under 
licensing  arrangements. The  Company  introduced  its  own  branded  generic  products  in  1983.  Since  then,  the  journey 
continued, and today, Beximco Pharma is a leading manufacturer and exporter of pharmaceuticals in the country, winning 
National Export Trophy (Gold) a record four times. Beximco Pharma’s manufacturing facilities have been accredited by major 
global regulatory bodies, and it has expanded its geographic footprint across four continents. 

 Beximco Pharma is the only Bangladeshi company listed on the AIM of London Stock Exchange through issuance of GDRs. 

Having a broad portfolio of more than 500 products and a dedicated team of around 2,700 employees, Beximco Pharma is 
committed  to  providing  access  to  medicines  which  are  affordable  and  manufactured  in  strict  compliance  with  global 
standards. 

ANNUAL REPORT 2011    4

At Beximco Pharma, we dare to dream

...of access to health solutions for everyone

We strive to cater to the masses with a diverse portfolio of products covering therapeutic groups such as anti-infectives, 
gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, ARVs, anti-diabetic, NSAIDs, respiratory, and so on.

…of delivering globally trusted quality to our people

We secured GMP accreditations from the EU, Australia, Gulf Central Committee, South Africa and Brazil, among others. At the 
moment, we have the highest number of international accreditations among all the Bangladeshi pharma companies.

…of progress; not just of ours, but of the entire community

We strive to conduct our business in a responsible manner and respond to the evolving needs of the society through various 
programs and initiatives.

…of a society with no outcasts

We do not believe in discriminations. We stand by the HIV positive of our country, well knowing that serving this niche is not 
commercially feasible.

…of a beautiful, breath-taking tomorrow

We were among the first in the world who proactively made the transition from the use of ozone-depleting to ozone-benign 
propellants for our medical  inhalers. 

......because we work to see you live the life we see in our dreams.

We are Beximco Pharma

          We are here for you, for life.

Managing Director’s Statement

Beximco  Pharma  has  completed  yet  another  successful 
year  delivering  robust  growth  in  revenues  and  profit.  In 
2011, the Company achieved sales turnover of BDT 7.89 
billion registering y-o-y growth of 21.56%. According to 
IMS, Beximco Pharma achieved the highest growth among 
all the leading pharmaceutical companies in the country. 
This outstanding performance is a clear indication that all 
our initiatives were planned and accordingly executed to 
meet the strategic goals we set for ourselves.

Bangladesh  has  a  vibrant  pharmaceutical  industry.  The 
country is almost self-sufficient in this sector with 97% of 
the country’s needs being met by the local manufacturers.  
Currently  valued  at  BDT  84  billion  (USD  1  billion),  the 
pharmaceutical  market  has  been  growing  steadily  over 
the  last  few  years.  This  industry  has  been  consistently 
performing well with a CAGR of 20% in the last 3 years. 
From the positive trends in this sector, including increased 
healthcare spending on medicine and medical coverage, 
enhanced  healthcare  system,  and  rising  government 
expenditure, we expect the industry to continue to register 
healthy  growths  in  the  foreseeable  future. The  sector  is 
highly  fragmented  with  246  manufacturers:  top  10 
companies enjoy more than 67% while top 20 companies 
have 85% of the market share. All of the top 10 players 
are local manufacturers. We predict that domestic players 
will continue to dominate and become more competitive 
with further backward integration in the near future and 
at the same time go up the value chain with increasing 
focus on technology driven products.

In  the  year  under  review  we  have  introduced  40  new 
generics  in  55  presentations,  many  of  which  have  high 
growth potential.  In the domestic market the Company 
maintains  leading  position  in  key  therapeutic  segments 
like  analgesics  and  gastrointestinals;  we  have  also 
performed  very  well  with  our  respiratory,  cardiovascular, 
musculoskeletal and anti-infective range registering much 
better growth than in the previous year.

We  are  confident  that  your  company  will  continue  to 
outperform  industry  growth  in  the  coming  years  led  by 
market  share  gains  in  key  therapeutic  segments  along 

with continuous and successful expansion of our product 
portfolio. Our major restructuring in the sales division, with 
the aim of focusing on specialty and chronic care products, 
will result in considerable growth in these categories.   

We  remain  committed  to  creating  value  for  all  our 
shareholders and customers. A well defined, value-creating 
strategy  is  a  must  for  any  business  to  achieve  sustained 
growth  and  this  must  take 
into  consideration  the 
company’s  immediate  and  long  term  growth  objectives. 
With over 30 years of operation, we have achieved many 
milestones,  successfully  expanded  our  business  and 
created  significant  shareholders’  value,  yet    sustaining 
growth  and  profitability  has  been  a  major  challenge  in 
today’s  changing business environment.  This is why we 
have given special emphasis on improving cost efficiency, 
resource  optimization  and  R&D  capabilities.  To  achieve 
sustained growth over the next five years and beyond, the 
Company  has  prepared  a  roadmap  for  making  business 
strategies actionable. We will further invest in upgrading 
the  existing  facilities  and  expanding  capacity  which  will 
translate into potentially higher growth.

Beximco  Pharma  has  delivered  strong  results  in  the 
domestic  market;  it  also  continues  to  perform  well  in 
exports  and  achieved  a  growth  of  18.08%  over  the 
previous  year.  During  the  year  we  have  successfully 
registered 48 products in overseas markets.  The Company 
has  the  distinction  of  being  the  only  pharmaceutical 
company  in  the  country  to  win  National  Export Trophy 
(Gold)  a  record  four  times.    We  are  well  aware  of 
opportunities  in  global  generic  drug  space  and  your 
Company is formulating strategies and aligning resources 
to  capitalize  on  these  opportunities.  Today  Beximco 
Pharma  has  products  registered  in  Asia,  Africa,  Latin 
America, Gulf region, Australia and New Zealand while it 
enters  into  generic  markets  of  EU  soon.  As  mentioned 
earlier  we  recently  entered  the  US  market  through 
acquisition  of  an  ANDA  and  the  response  with  that 
product  has  been  encouraging;  and  we  are  hopeful  that 
we will be able to complete the site transfer to Beximco 
Pharma and subsequent USFDA inspection soon.  

ANNUAL REPORT 2011    9

Key drug patent expirations by the year 2015 have been 
estimated  to  be  worth  more  than  USD  150  billion  in 
annual  drug  sales,  which  present  lucrative  opportunities 
for generic drug manufacturers like Beximco Pharma. We 
are  well  aware  of  this  and  aligning  our  resources  to 
capitalize on these opportunities.  We believe our ability to 
choose the right products, efficiently develop them, secure 
regulatory  approvals,  and  achieve  economies  of  scale  in 
production  are  all  critical  for  our  success  in  the  global 
generics  market.  We  continue  to  make  substantial 
investment 
in  research  and  development  to  create 
differentiation  and  enable  us  to  compete  in  the  global 
marketplace.  A  number  of  initiatives  aligned  with  our 
objectives  are  currently  underway.  We  have  further 
strengthened  our  Regulatory  Affairs,  R&D,  and  Supply 
Chain with the appointment of top class people with long 
experience working in leading generic drug companies in 
the world. 

On a different note, taka has been devalued to a record 
low  against  dollar  in  the  said  period  which  may  have 
significant impact on the cost of imports of raw materials 
and  thereby  profitability.  The  industry  is  still  heavily 
dependent on such imports and this will remain so unless 
the country’s proposed API Technology Park is completed.

The  generic  drug  industry  is  undergoing  changes  and  in 
such  a  competitive  environment  leading  companies  are 
now focusing on products where profit levels come with a 
degree  of  innovation.  Our  current  portfolio  comprising 
Metered Dose Inhalers, Dry Powder Inhalers, Ophthalmics, 
Pre-Filled  Syringes,  etc.  offers  both 
innovation  and 
profitability.  Particularly,  inhalers  and  eye  drops  can 
potentially  provide  a  lucrative  niche  for  us  as  we  have 
pioneered  MDI manufacturing and are the sole company 
to have both EU and TGA accredited MDI and Ophthalmic 
facilities  in  the  country.   We  will  pursue  growth  in  the 
specialized  products  and  accordingly  our  new  projects 
reflect our strategic focus.

As  we  continue  to  focus  on  specialty  niche  products,  a 
number  of  new  delivery  systems  are  planned  to  be

The year 2011 also witnessed a series of rebranding initiatives taken by the management. Corporate brand equity is the most 
valuable asset of a company as it engages all the stakeholders in a relationship that drives future growth. This is critical for 
sustaining competitive advantage in light of changing corporate priorities. We have felt an increasing need to convey a strong 
and distinct identity, with renewed focus and commitment, to reflect Beximco Pharma’s rising prominence. The Company now 
has a new tagline ‘Here’s to Life’, corporate identity programs and a new website including the online knowledge center – all 
to reflect our commitment and vision and convey to our customers who we are and what we do. 

 As we continue to evolve into a stronger company, our strategy for growth is to build a strong and diverse product portfolio; 
to expand our geographic reach; and to develop and leverage our generic drug capabilities. All these will drive us to build a 
future for our employees, to create value for shareholders and to focus on the reason for being in this business – to enhance 
the health and wellbeing of people.  

We are confident that your Company will continue to deliver strong financial results and achieve sustained growth in the 
coming days. It’s a privilege for me to work with the exceptionally talented team of Beximco Pharma management and the 
wonderful  people  who  have  diligently  worked  towards  building  this  remarkable  company.  I  would  like  to  thank  all  our 
employees and shareholders for your unwavering confidence and trust in us, and look forward to your continued support.

Our Health Solutions

We offer our customers a comprehensive and high-quality product portfolio encompassing all major therapeutic categories, 
available in various dosage forms including tablets, capsules, syrup, suspension, sterile eye drops, injectables, nasal sprays, 
creams, ointments, suppositories, IV fluids, metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, prefilled syringes etc.

Our  therapeutic  groups  host  quality  solutions  for  treating  cardiovascular,  musculoskeletal,  endocrine,  gastrointestinal,  
metabolic, allergic, respiratory and other disorders. Currently, Beximco Pharma produces 284 generics in 508 strengths and 
dosage forms. Time after time, our pharmaceutical brands are found in the top ranks in their respective therapeutic categories. 
In  the  domestic  market,  Beximco  Pharma  maintained  its  leadership  position  in  key  therapeutic  segments  such  as 
gastrointestinal and analgesic.

2011 was a year of restructuring and renewed spirits for our Marketing and Sales teams. The sales division was restructured 
to pay particular attention to specialty and chronic care products, with the goal of registering considerable growth in these 
categories in the near future. To add to the momentum, the teams were also more aggressive than before in the race to the 
top. In the year under review, the Company experienced a significantly more extended doctor reach as well as enhanced 
distribution  reach. This  is  very  important  for  us  because,  today’s  efforts  at  brand  building  will  help  us  create  a  stronger 
platform for tomorrow’s blockbuster products to carry on with high performance in keeping with the likes of our emerging 
brands such as Amdocal Plus, Atova, Azmasol etc. 

In the domestic market, our product brand equity remained respectably strong. When it comes to the generic pharmaceutical 
markets, it is rightly said that prescription generation is key to a pharmaceutical company’s health. On a bright note, Beximco 
Pharma’s prescription (Rx) share in terms of both product and value crossed the double digits Rx share benchmark during the 
year. 

To keep the impetus flowing, the Company shall continue to strengthen market penetration beyond urban areas through our 
wholly-owned distribution network and further augment our value added services for doctors. 

At Beximco Pharma, it is not just about how many products we sell, but rather, it is 
about the lives we save

One of the major components for the long-term health of any generic and specialty pharmaceutical company is its ability to 
continually introduce new products while building its pipeline for future launches. The Company delivered exceptionally on 
both fronts during the year under review. We have a robust generic product pipeline based on market needs and we are set 
to venture into a number of new delivery systems such as lyophilized products very soon.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011    18

A Glimpse of Products Introduced in 2011

NapaDol

NapaDol, a fixed dose combination of Paracetamol and Tramadol, is indicated in moderate to severe pain such as osteoarthritis flare, post-surgery 
pain management, traumatic pain and low back pain. Moderate to severe pain is an emergency condition that needs to be addressed immediately. 
The launching of NapaDol offers patients a breakthrough approach to managing pain because of its superior efficacy and safety.

Dinovo

Dinovo, the combination of Naproxen and Esomeprazole, was launched in the final quarter of 2011. The drug is indicated for the relief of signs 
and  symptoms  of  osteoarthritis,  rheumatoid  arthritis  and  ankylosing  spondylitis.  Dinovo  helps  relieve  the  sufferings  of  arthritic  pain  with 
exceptional GI safety. The excellent quality and safety profile of this combination has established this brand as the preferred weapon in arthritic 
pain management among doctors.

Acifix is a preparation of Rabeprazole which is a second generation proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It is mainly indicated for healing of erosive or 
ulcerative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), maintenance of healing of erosive or ulcerative GERD, treatment of symptomatic GERD and 
healing of duodenal ulcers. Rabeprazole has a number of unique features. It is a fast acting PPI, can be taken irrespective of meal and having 
predominant nonenzymatic metabolism. Rabeprazole is quickly establishing itself as the preferred choice of drug in treating the underlying acid 
disorders.

Acifix

Glipita M

Glipita-M is a fixed dose combination of Sitagliptin and Metformin.  Glipita-M is indicated to treat Type 2 diabetes where Metformin is not enough 
to improve glycemic control. It is a unique combination to treat three core defects of Type 2 diabetes mellitus: insulin resistance, decreased insulin 
release, unsuppressed hepatic glucose overproduction. It is more powerful than Metformin alone in reducing HbA1c at goal. Moreover, Glipita-M 
is a very promising combination therapy with additional benefits. Weight loss and incidence of hypoglycemia for Glipita-M is similar to Metformin 
alone. We have launched Glipita-M for the first time in Bangladesh in October 2011.

Cleven

Cleven is a ready-to-use sterile aqueous solution containing Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin with a high anti-Xa activity and 
with  a  low  anti-lla  or  anti-thrombin  activity.  Cleven  is  indicated  in  thromboembolic  emergencies  like  acute  coronary  syndrome,  deep  vein 
thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.

Xalaprost

Xalaprost is a preparation of Latanoprost, the best selling glaucoma drug worldwide. Xalaprost is a prostaglandin analogue that helps to reduce 
intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the uveoscleral outflow. It is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with 
primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).

Manufacturing Capabilities

Situated at Tongi, near the capital city Dhaka, our manufacturing site extends over an area of 23 acres. The site houses 
manufacturing facilities for producing various drug formulae in different strengths and delivery systems such as capsules, 
tablets,  intravenous  fluids,  metered  dose  inhalers,  sterile  ophthalmic  drops,    prefilled  syringes,  dry  powder  inhalers, 
injectables,  nebulizer  solutions,  creams,  ointments,  suppositories,  etc. The  site  has  its  own  utility  infrastructure  to  ensure 
adequate generation and distribution of electricity with an installed capacity of 10MW, in addition to water purifying and 
liquid  nitrogen  generation  facilities. The  bulk  drug  unit  for  producing  paracetamol  is  also  located  within  this  site. The 
Company’s penicillin API and formulation units are situated at Kaliakoir, 20 km from the main site.

Oral Solid Dosage
The  state-of-the-art  Oral  Solid  Dosage  unit  is  designed  as  per  US  FDA  standards. The  facility  incorporates  contemporary 
technological  advancements  with  automated  material  handling  systems  and  multilevel  designs  to  enable  gravity  feed 
between  various  processing  stages. This  facility  houses  a  total  of  five  lines  with  an  annual  capacity  to  produce  5  billion 
tablets. 

This facility is already accredited by  the regulatory authorities of EU, Australia and the Gulf member states, and is awaiting 
inspection and approvals from the USFDA, which would give Beximco Pharma access to the most  regulated markets in the 
world.

Metered Dose Inhaler
Beximco  Pharma  was  among  the  first  few  companies  in  the  world  who  made  the  transition  away  from  CFC-based 
inhalers to the ozone-benign HFA based formulations, in compliance with the Montreal Protocol. As CFCs are harmful to 
the earth’s protective ozone layer, the Company proactively developed ozone-benign HFA based MDIs which inevitably 
require very high level of expertise and sophisticated technology. The company is currently the largest producer of MDIs 
in Bangladesh, and it produces a popular inhaler brand for a reputed MNC under a contract manufacturing agreement.

The MDI units have been designed with technical collaboration from Pamasol, Switzerland which now have an annual 
production capacity of more than 20 million canisters.

Intravenous Fluid

The Intravenous (IV) fluid unit is ISO 9001: 
2010  certified  and  was  designed 
in 
collaboration  with  PharmaPlan,  a  sister 
concern of Fresenius AG of Germany. 

fully 

Absolute  sterile  manufacturing  conditions 
are rigorously maintained through a series 
of 
automated  manufacturing 
procedures  including  robotics. The  facility 
utilizes  FFS  (Form-Fill-Seal)  Bottelpack® 
aseptic  system  of  PharmaPlan  Germany. 
Plastic bottles are blow molded, filled with 
the  solution  and  sealed  under  sterile 
conditions, in a single working cycle where 
there  is  no  environmental  exposure  or 

human contact during manufacturing. The whole process is performed in a class 100 environment which ensures the highest 
standards  of  quality  and  purity. The  facility  produces  a  broad  assortment  of  large  volume  parenterals  (LVPs). As  a  line 
extension of this IV unit, the company has installed an amino acid line to produce a range of parenteral nutrition products 
such as Nutrimin and Nutrimin D. 

Ophthalmic

the 

accredited 

Beximco  Pharma’s  ophthalmic  facility  was 
launched  in  2009.  Today  this  facility  has 
been 
regulatory 
by 
authorities  of  EU  and  Australia.  There  is 
increasing  response  from  European  clients 
where  the  demand  for  generic  ophthalmic 
products is rising due to  patent expiration 
of a number of key products and the positive 
initiatives  taken  by  the  governments  to 
control increasing healthcare cost. Currently 
are  being 
29  ophthalmic  products 
manufactured which include high potential 
products  such  as  Xalaprost  (Latanoprost), 
(Latanoprost+Timolol),  Odycin 
Xalanol 
(Moxifloxacin), Olopan (Olopatadine), etc.

Liquid and Semisolid
Beximco  Pharma  has  a  broad  range  of  liquid  formulations  like  syrups  and  semisolid  dosage  forms  including  creams, 
suppositories and ointments. At present the capacity of liquid dosage facility is 37 million units per annum and the Company 
has  taken  up  expansion  program  along  with  further  upgradation  of  the  existing  unit  to  meet  the  growing  demand  in  the 
marketplace. 

Pre-Filled Syringe
Prefilled  syringes  (PFS)  provide  both  convenience  and  accuracy  to  self-administered  drugs. With  their  ease  of  use  and 
improved safety features  PFS has become one of most widely used drug delivery systems today. 

Beximco Pharma launched its PFS range with Enoxaparin Sodium, a low molecular weight heparin, which is widely used in 
cardiac emergency.  The Company plans to add a few more high value products to its PFS portfolio shortly. The high precision 
PFS  line  employs  sophisticated  technology  and  the  entire  filling  operation  is  done  under  laminar  flow  in  a  class  100 
environment to provide absolute sterile conditions.

Dry Powder Inhaler
Dry powder inhaler (DPI) is a device that delivers medication to the lungs in the form of a dry powder. DPIs do not require the 
timing and coordination that are necessary with metered-dose inhaler and they do not contain any propellants. Beximco 
Pharma offers dry powder inhaler in innovative patient-friendly and DPI-friendly packaging. Instead of bottle pack we provide 
alu-alu  blister  pack  which  protects  medicine  from    moisture.  HPMC  capsule  shell  ensures  maximum  protection  against 
moisture. And our unique and simple Bexihaler device, imported from Europe, consisting of 8 pins ensures optimum dose 
delivery. Currently the facility has the capacity to produce 36 million units of DPI every year.

Export Potential

In 2011, we added yet another milestone to our repertoire when Beximco Pharma was awarded the National Export Trophy 
(Gold)  by  the  Export  Promotion  Bureau  for  excellent  export  performances  for  the  year  2009-2010.   This  is  the  highest 
recognition for the companies in the export sector for significant contribution to Bangladesh's economic growth. We hope to 
persevere in stride in our service towards the progress of our country.

At  the  moment,  we  have  the  highest  number  of  international  accreditations  in  the  country  and  we  aim  to  leverage  our 
resources  as  we  venture  into  new  territories.  Our  strategy  is  to  capitalize  further  on  export  opportunities.  In  addition  to 
strengthening  our  position  in  current  export  markets,  we  are  targeting  export  opportunities  in  new  overseas  markets, 
particularly in the regulated and emerging markets. With the newly received product approvals from New Zealand, Kuwait 
and Azerbaijan, we plan to enter into these markets soon. We received GMP accreditation from Austrian Agency for Health 
and Food Safety (AGES), Austria; for European Union and have set our target of market entry into the EU within the shortest 
possible time.

Our products have been well received in the overseas markets and have been supplied to various reputed institutions such 
as  the  Raffles  Hospital,  Heathway  and  K  K Women’s  &  Children’s  Hospital  in  Singapore,  MEDS  and  Kenyatta  National 
Hospital, Kenya.  Beximco Pharma is also an enlisted supplier for UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency 
Fund), Save the Children, WHO (World Health Organization) and ADF (Asthma Drug Facility).

R&D Capabilities

R&D  is  the  key  to  success  for  any  pharmaceutical  company. We  have  given  it  top  priority  and  have  made  substantial 
investment in upgrading our generic drug capabilities as we firmly believe R&D plays the most important role in spurring 
innovation and helps a company go up the value chain. Our research and development activities are closely focused on 
market needs and driven by technological progress in order to create product differentiation. 

Our  team  comprising  top  class  formulation  scientists  with  extensive  experience  of  working  in  leading  pharmaceutical 
companies in the world continuously strives to integrate the advanced technological changes to create competitive edge and 
match  international  standards. There  has  been  a  series  of  positive  developments  in  the  year  and  our  team  successfully 
introduced  40  new  generic  formulations  in  55  different  presentations  and  expanded  our  dosage  delivery  portfolio  with 
technology driven products like prefilled syringes, total parenteral nutrition, dry powder inhalers, etc. 

Beximco  Pharma’s  well  defined  organizational  structure,  policy  guidelines  and  internal  controls  ensure  efficiency  of 
operations, and compliance with applicable regulations. The Company continuously upgrades these systems in line with the 
best practices in the industry.  Other initiatives to keep our team updated with the recent advances in analytical methodology, 
platform technology, and regulatory affairs include frequent in-house and overseas workshops and training programs. The 
benefits we derive as a result of these initiatives will only increase in the coming years.

Our People

We recognize it is our people’s unwavering values that molded us into who we are today. It is their tireless contributions that 
have propelled us to greater heights over the years. They are indeed our greatest assets in the way they create meaningful 
difference. Every product, every experience, and every breakthrough we ever presented for the betterment of human health 
and  well-being  have  been  made  possible  by  our  people.  We  are  prouder  than  ever  of  the  collective  intentions  and 
determination  we  have  witnessed  time  and  time  again. The  shared  vision  and  values,  reflected  in  our  leadership  and 
execution, help us attract the very best.

Currently, the Company employs almost 2,700 people including around 400 white-collar professionals such as Pharmacists, 
MBAs,  Doctors,  Chemists,  Engineers,  Microbiologists  etc.  In  2011,  we  welcomed  into  the  Beximco  Pharma  family  highly 
experienced expatriates in key positions to deliver a fresh take on strategic direction as we steadily progress towards our 
aspirations of becoming a global pharmaceutical company.  

We are strong advocates of the notion that learning never really ends simply with the completion of formal education. One 
of  the  best  perks  of  being  a  part  of  the  Beximco  Pharma  family  is  that  the  people  undergo  continuous  training  and 
development programs to further develop their skills. In 2011 alone, over 30 such workshops and training, covering various 
departments, were conducted. Within Beximco Pharma, we support employees interested in reaching out to others. In 2011, 
we  launched  our  very  own  internal  Knowledge  Center  as  a  platform  for  continuous  learning  and  interconnectivity;  an 
initiative that is still quite a novel concept in Bangladesh.  However, we know that competence alone is not enough; it is the 
intricate threads of connectivity, binding us as one family, which makes our organizational culture truly coveted and one of a 
kind. We have also undertaken a major corporate branding initiative as a reflection of our rejuvenated drive and aspirations.

CRM through E-detailing

In the spirit of reinvention, stemming from our rebranding initiative, we decided to be the first to introduce e-detailing in 
Bangladesh.  This  is  a  step  towards  solidifying  our  commitment  for  strengthening  our  relationship  with  the  medical 
community. The Vision team task force would be the first to be equipped with Tablets (mobile computers with touch-screen 
and pen-enabled interface), for the purpose of “electronic pharmaceutical detailing”. This digital communication is greener 
than  paper  based  communication,  and  will  enhance  the  quality  of  service  in  building  one-to-one  relationship  with  the 
doctors. The Tablets will be enriched with data, not only of our products, but also other valuable information. For instance, the 
medical representatives can instantly pull up whatever references or research findings a doctor may wish to study. 

ANNUAL REPORT 2011    37

Our medical representatives will be able to offer multi-brand detailing within shortest possible time with individual-doctor or 
group-specific detailing aids, thus enhancing our services to doctors. It will also allow doctors to know us better e.g. from the 
comfort of their own desks, doctors will then have the option of taking a virtual tour in our facility. We hope to capitalize on 
first-movers advantage and set the benchmark for the competition.

We hope to establish ourselves as the premier source of reliable and relevant 
medical information

Partnerships & Alliances

We,  at  Beximco  Pharma,  acknowledge  and  appreciate  the  value  of  collaborations  with  our  strategic  alliances  and 
partnerships. We believe that mutually beneficial partnerships are key to accomplishing our goals. We have had a sound track 
record of working with global partners as early as 1980 when we commenced manufacturing operations with products under 
licenses of Bayer AG of Germany and Upjohn Inc of USA. Moreover, we have been producing asthma inhalers under contract 
manufacturing for a global MNC. We have a co-development agreement with a pharmaceutical company in the USA. We also 
provided technical support to Johns Hopkins University for a WHO funded vaccine study in Bangladesh. Furthermore, we 
actively look forward to working with MNCs in the area of biopharmaceuticals and new drug delivery systems. We also 
extend our support to various initiatives from global development agencies such as USAID, Save the Children etc. as well as 
reputed research institutes; in the year we joined a USAID-led major initiative Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA) 
in Bangladesh.

hope, physical and emotional support, and raising public 
awareness  for  early  detection,  improved  treatment  and 
social  acceptance. We  appreciate  their  noble  cause  and

recognition or enough support to carry out their intentions

Responsibility to the Environment

We  are  always  aware  of  environmental  compliance  and 
adopt  policy  to  preserve  the  environment  by  practically 
minimizing  emission  and  waste,  thereby  reducing  our

other countries to implement and complete the phase-out 
of CFC based MDIs by December 31, 2009. 

international  agreement 

the 

It was a challenge for Bangladesh to make the transition 
from  ozone-depleting  CFC  to  ozone-benign  HFA-based 
inhalers to save the environment and to ensure availability 
of  inhalers  for  the  patients.  In  2006,  we  were  the  first 
Bangladeshi  company  to  proactively  and  successfully 
make the shift to HFA inhalers to ensure that no patient in 
Bangladesh  suffers  from  a  lack  of  availability  of  MDIs 
when CFC would become scarce in the future. This was an 
enormous  feat  not  only  for  a  developing  country  like 
Bangladesh but also for the world at large. In addition to 
proactively  adopting  ozone-benign  HFAs,  Beximco 

Pharma actively advocated so that others would also do 
the same. As a follow-up to UNEP’s Langkawi Declaration 
on  Public-Private  Partnership,  Beximco  Pharmaceuticals 
Ltd.  and  Bangladesh  Lung  Foundation,  designed  an 
effective awareness raising strategy for CFC-free MDIs for 
asthma and COPD patients. 

Today, we are the single largest producer of ozone-benign 
MDI  in  Bangladesh,  and  as  a  responsible  company  we 
conduct  well  thought-out  multi-stakeholder  campaigns 
when  we  launch  a  product.  Such  partnerships  are  now 
regarded  as  a  successful  role  model  of  public-private 
partnership 
involving  government,  pharmaceutical 
industries,  doctors,  environmental  agencies  and  others 
stakeholders that could be replicated in other developing 
countries.

Responsibility to the Stakeholders

Even  though  at  the  core  of  any  business  is  the  aim  to 
maximize profit, we actively look out for our stakeholders’ 
best interest and ensure that our growth is “sustainable” 
in  the  long  run.  Once  again,  this  year  we  achieved 
substantial  growth  and  surpassed  the  industry  average. 
From the handsome revenues earned, we always make it 
a point to invest in the future. We are committed to ensure 
the optimal utilization of resources in order to create and 
sustainably maintain our shareholders’ wealth.

Every day we are mindful of our responsibilities to create 
value  for  our  community,  for  instance,  our  support  for 
Save the Children’s program on human rights; nourishing 
employee relations through the creation and maintenance 
of  employment;  creating  change  though  environmental 
into  the  future  with 
stewardship  and  progressing 
excellence  in  financial  performance.  In  our  everyday 
interactions  with  our  stakeholders  including  employees, 
customers,  suppliers,  competitors  and  so  on,  we  do  our 
utmost to maintain integrity and fairness in all dealings. 

In the final analysis, the basic premise behind 
is  the  Company’s  same  old  firm 
it  all 
determination,  which  is  to  give  people  the 
confidence to live life without fear and reach 
their highest potential.

Chairman’s Statement

Dear Shareholders,

On  behalf  of  the  Board,  I  am  pleased  to  report  another 
year of continued success for Beximco Pharma despite a 
very  challenging  business  environment. The  Bangladesh 
economy experienced a turbulent year marked by a hefty 
devaluation of Taka against the US Dollar. This weakening 
commenced  in  the  4th  quarter  of  2010  and  continued 
throughout  2011  resulting  in  an  exchange  rate  of 
Tk.81.98  to  the  Dollar  at  the  end  of  December  2011 
against a rate of Tk. 70.90 a year earlier. Additionally, high 
domestic  inflation    and  a  resulting  increase  in  prices  of 
local materials, coupled to a shortage of liquidity available 
for  the  private  sector  (due  to  increased  government 
borrowings) as well as an increase in interest rates made 
2011  exceptionally  challenging  -  especially  given  the 
backdrop of a struggling global economy. 

I am very pleased to report that we successfully countered 
these  challenges  delivering  solid  growth  in  all  key 
business areas and making  significant progress towards 
accomplishing our strategic goal of building shareholder 
value. 

significantly  enhanced  our  prescription  share  in  sales  of 
the  formulation  products    and  maintained,  as  expected, 
growth  in  all  our  key  therapeutic  segments.  Sales  of  our 
Active  Pharmaceutical  Ingredients  (APIs)  also  recorded  a 
significant  37.1%  growth  to  reach  Tk.  486.91  million 
(2010: Tk.  355.24  million).  However,  its  impact  on  the 
overall  profitability  of  the  company  is  currently  low 
because of  a low gross margin predominantly due to the 
high  cost  of 
intermediate  materials  to 
manufacture  these  APIs.  In  2011  export  sales  grew  by 
18.1% to Tk. 390.32 million (2010: Tk. 330.54 million).

import  of 

Along with sales growth, Beximco Pharma  also achieved a 
marked  growth  in  profit  in  2011.  Our  pre-tax  profit 
increased  23.2%  to  Tk.  1,677.85  million  (2010:  Tk. 
1,361.53  million).  Gross  margin  as  percentage  of  sales 
however,  slightly  declined  to  48%  as  against  48.9%  for 
the prior period. This was due principally to a depreciation 
in the value of the Taka against the Dollar and the high 
level  of  domestic  inflation.  However,  with  our  constant 
drive  to  contain  costs  and  effective  profit  optimization 
strategies, the negative impact of rising cost on profit has 
been kept to the practicable minimum.  

Overseas Business

Certification of the relevant manufacturing facility by the 
duly accredited authorities is the first step of the enduring 
process  of  the  export  of  pharmaceutical  products.  Our 
manufacturing facilities have been approved by a number 
of major  regulatory authorities. In 2011 we received GMP 
(Good  Manufacturing  Practice)  accreditation  from  the 
Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES) for our 
oral solid dosage and ophthalmic manufacturing facilities. 
This is another testimony of our manufacturing excellence 
and 
important  progress  towards  achieving  targeted 
exports into the regulated European markets.

During the year under review we registered 48 products in 
8  countries  including  New  Zealand, Azerbaijan,  Kuwait, 
Singapore and Colombia. 

Sales and Profitability

We  maintained  our  record  of  uninterrupted  growth, 
achieving  a  21.6%  increase  in  sales  to  Tk.  7,890.24 
In  2011  we 
million  (2010:  Tk.  6,490.85  million). 

At home we have received the prestigious National Export 
Trophy (Gold) for excellence in pharmaceutical export for 
the  record  fourth  time.  This  is  an  endorsement  of  our 
commitment    towards  strengthening  our  presence  in 
overseas market.

Investments for Sustainable Growth

A  number  of  projects  initiated  in  earlier  years  were 
completed and became commercially operational in 2011. 
Expansion  of  our  state-of-the-art  metered  dose  inhaler 
(MDI) plant has added significant further capacity raising 
the  total  manufacturing  capacity  to  20  million  canisters. 
Two  other  projects,  namely  facilities  for  dry  powder 
inhalers  (DPI)  and  pre-filled  syringe  products  were  also 
successfully  completed  and  became  operational.   Amino 
acid  unit  also  started  commercial  operation  in  2011. 
Facilities  for  liquid  lyophilized  products  and  powder  for 
suspensions  and  sachets  are  nearing  completion.  Other 
projects are progressing as planned. 

Beximco Pharma has always been a pioneer in adopting 
innovative  technologies.   This  brings  both  sophistication 
and the potential to sustain growth to our business. Over 
the  past  couple  of  years  we  have  made  considerable 
investments 
improve 
productivity,  drive  growth  and  achieve  excellence  in 
operations.  The results that we have achieved today was 
possible due to these farsighted investments in the past.

Auditors’ Report

To The Shareholders of
BEXIMCO PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED

Introduction
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited, which comprise of the Statement of Financial 
Position as at 31 December 2011, and the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows 
for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. 

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRSs), Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRSs), the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 
1987 and other applicable laws and regulations. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant 
to  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  financial  statements  that  are  free  from  material  misstatements,  whether  due  to  fraud  or  error; 
selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditors’ responsibility
Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit. We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with 
International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we comply with relevant 
ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material 
misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 
The  procedures  selected  depend  on  the  auditors’  judgment,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risk  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial 
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant  to the entity’s preparation and 
fair preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedure that are appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose 
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting 
policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the

provisions of the liability. The company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled 
or expire. Finance liabilities include payable for expenses, liability for capital expenditure and other current liabilities.

3.6 

Impairment 
(a) Financial Assets

Accounts receivable and other receivables are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence 
of impairment.  A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition 
of the asset and that the loss event had a negative effects on the estimated future cash flows of that asset, that can be estimated 
reliably. Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, indications that a debtor 
or issuer will enter bankruptcy etc.

(b) Non-Financial Assets

An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The company assesses at each reporting date whether 
there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the company estimates the recoverable amount 
of the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Carrying amount 
of the assets is reduced to its recoverable amount by recognizing an impairment loss if, and only if, the recoverable amount of the 
asset is less than its carrying amount. Impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss,  unless  the asset is carried at 
revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset shall be treated as a revaluation decrease. 

3.7      Inventories

Inventories  are  carried  at  the  lower  of  cost  and  net  realizable  value  as  prescribed  by  IAS  2:  Inventories.  Cost  is  determined  on

expected to be incurred to make the sale.

3.8      Provisions  

A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result 
of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate 
can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provision is ordinarily measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to 
settle the present obligation at the date of statement of financial position. Where the effect of time value of money is material, the 
amount of provision is measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. 

3.9      Income Tax Expense

Income and accounted for in accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 : Income Tax.

years. The company qualifies as a “Publicly Traded Company”, hence the applicable Tax Rate is 27.50%.

Deferred Tax     

The company has recognized deferred tax using balance sheet method in compliance with the provisions of IAS 12 : Income Taxes. 
The  company’s  policy  of  recognition  of  deferred  tax  assets/  liabilities  is  based  on  temporary  differences  (Taxable  or  deductible) 
between the carrying amount (Book value) of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purpose and its tax base, and accordingly, 
deferred tax income/expenses has been considered to determine net profit after tax and earnings per shares (EPS).

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against which temporary 
differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

3.12    Employee Benefits 

The company maintains both defined contribution plan and defined benefit plan for its eligible permanent employees. The eligibility 
is determined according to the terms and conditions set forth in the respective deeds.

The company has accounted for and disclosed employee benefits in compliance with the provisions of IAS 19: Employee Benefits.  

The cost of employee benefits is charged off as revenue expenditure in the period to which the contributions relate.

The company’s employee benefits include the following:

(a) Defined Contribution Plan (Provident Fund )

The  company  has  a  registered  provident  fund  scheme  (Defined  Contribution  Plan)  for  employees  of  the  company  eligible  to  be 
members of the fund in accordance with the rules of the provident fund constituted under an irrevocable trust. All permanent employ-
ees contribute 10% of their basic salary to the provident fund and the company also makes equal contribution.

The  company  recognizes  contribution  to  defined  contribution  plan  as  an  expense  when  an  employee  has  rendered  services  in 
exchange for such contribution. The legal and constructive obligation is limited to the amount it agrees to contribute to the fund.

(b) Defined Benefit Plan (Gratuity)

This represents unfunded gratuity scheme for its permanent employees. Employees are entitled to gratuity benefit after completion 
of minimum five years of service in the company. The gratuity is calculated on the latest applicable basic pay and is payable at the 
rate of one month basic pay for every completed year of service.

Though no valuation was done to quantify actuarial liabilities as per the IAS 19 : Employee Benefits, such valuation in not likely to 
yield a result significantly different from the current provision.

(c) Short-term Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits include salaries, bonuses, leave encashment, etc. Obligations for such benefits are measured on an 
undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.  

(d) Contribution to Workers’ Profit Participation/ Welfare Funds

This represents 5% of net profit before tax contributed by the company as per provisions of the Bangladesh Labor Law, 2006 and is 
payable to workers as defined in the said law.

(e) Insurance Scheme 

Employees of the company are covered under insurance schemes.

3.13   Share Premium 

The Share Premium shall be utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1994 and as per direction  of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission in this respect.

3.14   Proposed Dividend  

The amount of proposed dividend has not been accounted for but disclosed in the notes to the accounts along with dividend per 
share in accordance with the requirements of the Para 125 of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 1: Presentation of Financial 
Statements. Also, the proposed dividend has not been considered as “Liability” in accordance with the requirements of the Para 12 

ANNUAL REPORT 2011    72

& 13 of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 10: Events After The Reporting Period, because no obligation exists at the time of 
approval of accounts and recommendation of dividend by the Board of Directors. 

3.15   Earnings Per Share (EPS)

This has been calculated in compliance with the requirements of IAS 33: Earnings Per Share - dividing the basic earnings by the 
weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Basic earnings represent the earnings for the year attributable to ordinary shareholders.  

Current Year (2011)

The Bonus Shares issued during the year 2011 were treated as if they always had been in issue. Hence, in computing the Basic EPS 
of 2011, the total number of shares including the said bonus shares has been considered as the Weighted Average Number of Shares 
outstanding during the year 2011.

Earlier Year (2010)

The number of shares outstanding before the bonus issue has been adjusted for the proportionate change in the number of shares 
outstanding as if the bonus issue had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period reported (2010), and accordingly, in calculating 
the adjusted EPS of 2010, the total number of shares including the subsequent bonus issue in 2011 has been considered as the 
Weighted Average Number of Shares outstanding during the year 2010.

The basis of computation of number of shares as stated above is in line with the provisions of IAS 33 : Earning Per Share. The logic 
behind this basis, as stated in the said IAS is that the bonus Shares are issued to the existing shareholders without any consideration, 
and therefore, the number of shares outstanding is increased without an increase in resources. 

Diluted Earnings Per Share

No diluted EPS is required to be calculated for the year as there was no scope for dilution during the year under review. 

3.16    Foreign Currency Transactions   

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the applicable rates of exchange ruling at the transaction date.

The monetary assets and liabilities, if any, denominated in foreign currencies at the financial position date are translated at the 
applicable  rates  of  exchanges  ruling  at  that  date.  Any  gain  or  loss  due  to  exchange  differences  are  recognized  as  revenue 
income/expense in compliance with the provisions of IAS 21 : The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.  

3.17    Statement of Cash Flows 

The Statement of Cash Flow has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 7: Statement of Cash Flows. The cash 
generated from operating activities has been reported using the Direct Method as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Rules, 
1987  and  as  the  benchmark  treatment  of  IAS  7,  whereby  major  classes  of  gross  cash  receipts  and  gross  cash  payments  from 
operating activities are disclosed. 

3.18    Events after Reporting Period

Events  after  the  reporting  period  that  provide  additional  information  about  the  company’s  position  at  the  date  of  Statement  of 
Financial  Position  or  those  that  indicate  that  the  going  concern  assumption  is  not  appropriate  are  reflected  in  the  financial 
statements. Events after reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.

48. Financial Risk Management

The management of company  has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the company’s risk management framework. Risk 
management policies, procedures and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the company’s activities. The 
company has exposure to the following risk for its use of financial instruments. 
- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk 
- Market risk

48.01 Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the company if a customer or counter party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual 
obligations and arises principally from the company’s receivables. Management has a credit policy in place and exposure to credit risk is monitored 
on an ongoing basis.  As at 31 December 2011 substantial part of the receivables are those from its related company and subject to insignificant 
credit risk. Risk exposures from other financial assets i.e. Cash at bank and other external receivables are nominal.

48.02 Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The company’s approach to managing 
liquidity ( cash and cash equivalents) is to ensure as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due under 
both normal and stressed conditions without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the company’s reputation. Typically, the company 
ensures that it has sufficient cash and cash equivalent to meet expected operational expenses  including financial obligations through preparation 
of the cash flow forecast with due consideration of time line of payment of the financial obligations and accordingly arrange for sufficient fund 
to make the expected payments within due date. In extreme stressed conditions the company may get support from the related company in the 
form of short term financing.

ANNUAL REPORT 2011    86

 
 
48.03 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that any change in market prices such as foreign exchange rates and interest will affect the company’s income or the value 
of  its  holdings  of  financial  instruments. The  objective  of  market  risk  management  is  to  manage  and  control  market  risk  exposures  within 
acceptable parameters. 

(a)     Currency risk
The company is exposed to currency risk on certain revenues and purchases such as revenue from foreign customers and import of raw material, 
machineries and equipment. Majority of the company’s foreign currency transactions are denominated in USD and relate to procurement of raw 
materials, machineries and equipment from abroad. 

(b)     Interest rate risk 
Interest rate risk is the risk that arises due to changes in interest rates on borrowing. There was no foreign currency loan which is subject to floating 
rates of interest. Local loans are, however, not significantly affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The company has not entered into any type of 
derivative instrument in order to hedge interest rate risk as at the reporting date.
