Sector Headwinds
Industry headwinds impacts performance across markets in Q1FY22
Implications for Strides
Mitigation Strategies
。 Major headwinds faced by the sector
owing to current Covid-19 pandemic
particularly for the regulated markets
o Prescription rates trends below
historical levels in the US
。 Significant fall in prescriptions rates
down over ~20%, aggravated by
lockdown in UK
。 Acute portfolio impacted severely
。 Continued drop in new product
approvals for the industry due to
travel restrictions and slowdown in
inspections
。 Above dynamics has led to heightened
competitive intensity to capture a higher
wallet share for existing products, industry
witnesses unprecedented price erosion
o Rise in Covid-19 cases leads to intermittent
lockdowns and restrictions across multiple
geographies disrupting supply chain,
increasing cost of operations
。 Witnessed double digit price erosion in our
US portfolio with higher competitive
intensity leading to significant drop in
revenues
。 New product launches from Q4FY21 have
witnessed steep price erosion in the US
。 Delays in products approvals impact new
product launch cycles
。 Significant rise in Covid-19 cases during the
second wave at all our manufacturing sites in
India lead to operational disruptions and
impacted supplies
Failure to supply (FTS) cost pre-Covid in
FY20 was <1% of US sales. The same has
increased to ~4% due to Covid led supply
disruptions

higher air shipments
