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.

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 8
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 17
In 2011, we introduced 40 new generics in 55 presentations,
five of which were launched for the first time in Bangladesh
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

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,

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

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)

ASHIC Foundation. We arranged an outing at an
amusement park in the capital city where the children
were accompanied by their parents and representatives
from the not-for-profit organization. We had a wonderful
day together packed with fun rides and great food. Later
on we donated hospital equipment to the palliative care
unit where the children at the terminal stage of cancer are
being treated.
The ASHIC foundation is a full member of International
Confederation of Childhood Cancer Parents Organization
(ICCCPO), which is an international forum to increase
awareness and action on childhood cancer related issues.
This small Foundation strives to improve the quality of life
for children living with cancer in Bangladesh by providing
hope, physical and emotional support, and raising public
awareness for early detection, improved treatment and
social acceptance. We appreciate their noble cause and
extended our support.
We believe that a genuine spirit of giving itself is credential
enough and therefore we stand by the unsung heroes who
dedicate their lives for the betterment but do not get the
recognition or enough support to carry out their intentions
with optimized efficiency and impact.

Children’s Education is a Right, not a

Beximco Pharma, being in a knowledge based industry,
fully understands the crucial role that education plays in
the building of a nation. We offer financial assistance to
the children, of our employees, who are brilliant and
possess a thirst for knowledge; and yet may not be able to
actualize their dreams due to unfavorable financial
circumstances. In the year 2011, Beximco Pharma offered
assistance to a total of 36 meritorious students coming
from diverse academic backgrounds.
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
carbon footprint. The premise that drives us is we always
put the needs of people before anything else in every
chapter of our success story. Our Safety, Health and
Environment (SHE) program is also based on a framework
of consistent standards.
Our Path to Protecting the Ozone Layer
Inhaled therapy is essential for the treatment of patients
with asthma and COPD. Unfortunately, CFC gases used in
inhalers as propellants have ozone-depleting properties.

Ozone Layer”,

other countries to implement and complete the phase-out

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.

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

asset is less than its carrying amount. Impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at

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

income/expense in compliance with the provisions of IAS 21 : The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
3.17 Statement of Cash Flows

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.

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.
