Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

 

To

The Board of Directors

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited as of December 31, 2018 and the related condensed consolidated interim income statements, the statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months period then ended, changes in equity and cash flows for the six months period then ended (“interim financial information”).

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.”

 

A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

 

Other matter

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2017, and for the three-month and nine months period then ended, were reviewed by other auditors who expressed an unmodified conclusion on those financial statements vide their review report dated January 25, 2018. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2018, the related consolidated statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedules (not presented herein) were audited by other auditors who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements vide their audit report dated May 22, 2018.

The Company submitted its response to the warning letter on 7 December 2015. The Company has provided an update to the U.S. FDA on the progress of remediation in January 2016, March 2016, May 2016 and August 2016. The U.S. FDA completed the reinspection of the aforementioned facilities in March and April 2017. The Company has responded to the observations identified by the U.S. FDA. The Company received Establishment Inspection Report ("EIR") from the U.S. FDA for API manufacturing facility at Miryalaguda in June 2017 which indicates that the audit is closed. With regard to the Oncology manufacturing facility at Duvvada and API manufacturing facility at Srikakulam, the Company received EIRs from the U.S. FDA in November 2017 and February 2018, respectively, which indicates that the status remains unchanged. In June 2018, the Company requested the U.S. FDA to schedule an inspection of the oncology formulation manufacturing facility at Duvvada.

  4 IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, mandatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018, replaces existing revenue recognition requirements. Under the modified retrospective approach, there were no significant adjustments required to the retained earnings as at 1 April 2018. Also, the application of IFRS 15 did not have any significant impact on recognition and measurement of revenue and related items in the financial results of the Company.
     
  5 Effective 1 April 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9, Financial instruments,using modified retrospective approach. IFRS 9 significantly differs from IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and includes a logical model for classification and measurement, a single, forward looking “expected loss” impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to hedge accounting. As a result of the aforesaid changes, the overall impact of adoption of the new accounting standard on the retained earnings as on 1 April 2018 is Rs. 12 million.
     
  6 During the three months ended 31 December 2018, the Company sold one of its API manufacturing business units located in Jeedimetla, Hyderabad to Therapiva Private Limited.  This sale was done by way of slump sale including all related property, plant and equipment, current assets, current liabilities, and transfer of employees. An amount of Rs. 423 million representing the profit on sale of such business unit was included under the head “other income, net”.
     
  7 Other income, net for the three months ended 30 September 2018 and nine months ended 31 December 2018 includes gain of Rs. 464 million on account of sale of rights relating to an intangible asset forming part of Company’s Proprietary Products Segment and sale of membership interest in Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Tennessee, LLC.
     
  8 In the United States of America, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was approved and enacted in to law on 22 December 2017 which resulted in a reduction of the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.
Consequent to this enactment, the Company has re-measured its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the new tax law and this resulted in a charge of Rs. 930 million for the three months ended 31 December 2017.
     
  9 The unaudited results have been reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 1 February 2019.
     
  10 The results for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2017, and the year ended 31 March 2018 were reviewed / audited respectively, by other auditors. An unqualified report was issued by them thereon.
