Business and financial review
Group performance
Revenue for the Group increased by 45.2% to $224.9 million, compared to $154.9
million in the first half of 2006. The revenue contribution from acquisitions
completed since the first half of 2006 was $36.6 million. Underlying organic
growth, which excludes the impact of these acquisitions, was 21.5%, driven by
strong performances in both the Branded and Injectables businesses.
The Branded and Injectables businesses together now account for 72.8% of our
sales compared with 63.2% at the end of the first half of 2006.
Revenue by segment H1 2007 H1 2006
Branded 46.1% 41.3%
Injectables 26.7% 21.9%
Generics 26.1% 34.8%
Revenue by region
MENA 54.2% 50.5%
US 29.8% 40.7%
Europe 16.0% 8.8%
The Group's gross profit increased by 42.5% to $113.9 million, compared to $80.0
million in the first half of 2006. Group gross margin for the first half of
2007 was 50.7%, compared to 51.6% in the first half of 2006. This change in
gross margin is due primarily to a decline in gross profit margin in the
Generics business that was only partially offset by the improving gross margin
in the Injectables business.
As a result of acquisitions, Group operating expenses grew in the first half of
2007 by 59.1% to $62.2 million, compared to $39.1 million in the first half of
2006. Excluding acquisitions, operating expenses grew by 24.6%.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 90.2% to $30.1 million, due to the
acquisition of Ribosepharm, the injectable oncology sales and marketing
business, acquired in January of this year, and the consolidation of Al-Jazeera
Pharmaceutical Industries ('JPI'). These expenses include an amortisation
charge of $0.8 million related to intangible assets arising on these
acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, sales and marketing expenses grew by
27.4%, which reflects investment to support the strong growth in both the
Branded and Injectables businesses. Sales and marketing expenses represented
13.4% of Group revenue in the first half of 2007, compared to 10.2% in the first
half of 2006.
The Group's general and administrative expenses increased by 60.8% to $21.2
million, compared to $13.2 million in the first half of 2006. As expected, this
change arose mainly from the consolidation of JPI and Ribosepharm. The need to
support the growth of the Group has also increased corporate general and
administrative costs, which grew by $2.5 million to $8.7 million in the first
half of 2007. General and administrative expenses represented 9.4% of Group
revenue in the first half of 2007, compared to 8.5% in the first half of 2006.
Investment in R&D increased by 1.4% to $9.2 million, compared to $9.0 million in
the first half of 2006. Total investment in R&D represented 4.1% of Group
revenue, compared to 5.8% in the first half of 2006. This reflects a shift
towards product acquisitions and an increase in licensing.
Other net operating expenses, which consist mainly of provisions against slow
moving items partially offset by foreign exchange gains, were $1.7 million,
compared to $1.0 million in the first half of 2006.
Operating profit for the Group increased by 22.7% to $51.8 million, compared to
$42.2 million in the first half of 2006. Group operating margin decreased to
23.0% in 2007, compared to 27.2% in the first half of 2006, which reflects an
increased investment in sales and marketing and other operating expenditure
across all segments, as well as pricing pressure in the Generics business.
Research & Development
The Group's product portfolio continues to grow. During the first half of the
year, we added eight new products to the Group portfolio, which now covers 202
products(3) in 423 dosage strengths and forms. We manufacture and/or sell 29 of
these products under-license from the originator.
In the first half of 2007, Hikma received 81 regulatory approvals(4), including
three ANDA approvals for the Generics business and one ANDA approval for the
Injectables business. Over the same period, 16 new products(5) were launched.
To ensure the continuous development of our product pipeline, we submitted a
total of 37 regulatory filings(6) in Jordan, the US and Europe, and 153 across
all regions and markets. As of 30 June 2007, we had a total of 126 pending
approvals in Jordan, the US and Europe and 588 pending approvals across all
regions and markets.
We estimate the approximate addressable market for our portfolio of pending
approvals to be approximately $12.0 billion, based on the 2006 full year sales
of the currently marketed equivalent products in the markets covered by the
pending approvals.
At 30 June 2007, we had a total of 106 products under development, the majority
of which should receive several marketing authorisations for differing strengths
and/or product forms over the next few years.
Outlook
We continue to expect to deliver organic revenue growth, including JPI, in the
mid-20% range for the full year, in line with the guidance we gave in January
2007. Taking into consideration the acquisitions of Ribosepharm, Thymoorgan and
Alkan, which should complete in September, we expect total Group revenue growth
of close to 40%. We expect gross margin to be approximately 50% and general and
administrative expenses to grow in line with revenue. We also expect investment
in R&D to be close to 5% of Group sales. Overall, we remain confident in the
Group's ability to deliver another year of strong growth.
Branded
The pharmaceutical market in the MENA region is predominantly a branded market,
in which patented, generic and OTC pharmaceutical products are marketed under
specific brand names. Our Branded business manufactures branded generic and
in-licensed patented pharmaceutical products for sale across the MENA Region and
Europe.
The Branded business is our largest business in terms of revenue, which
increased by 62.0% to $103.6 million in the first half of 2007, compared to
$64.0 million in the first half of 2006, reflecting the consolidation of JPI.
Excluding JPI, Branded revenues grew by 33.2% driven by excellent performances
across all our MENA markets. New product introductions and more focused sales
and marketing efforts have helped to drive demand and increase sales. A
particularly strong performance in the GCC countries was driven in part by the
successful integration of JPI. The Branded business's performance in the first
half also reflects the continuing seasonality of this business, which is
traditionally stronger in the first six months of the year.
During the first half, the Branded business received 56 regulatory approvals in
the MENA region, including eight in Jordan.
We grew our market share in Algeria in the first half of 2007 to 5.2%, compared
to 3.9% at the end of 2006(7). We also maintained our position as the sixth
largest pharmaceutical manufacturer and second largest generic pharmaceutical
manufacturer by value in the Algerian market. In Saudi Arabia, our combined
market share in value terms remained relatively constant at 3.9% in the first
half of 2007, compared to 4.0% for the 2006 full year, maintaining our position
as the fifth largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in this market. In Jordan, we
maintained our position as market leader during the first half of the year with
a market share of 7.1%, compared to 7.3% for the 2006 full year.
Revenues from under-license products represented 35.3% of Branded sales in the
first half of 2007, compared to 38.6% in the first half of 2006.
Gross profit of the Branded business increased by 58.9% to $56.2 million,
compared to $35.4 million in the first half of 2006. The Branded business's
gross margin decreased to 54.3%, compared to 55.3% in the first half of 2006,
reflecting an increase in overhead expenses and sales incentives.
Branded operating profit increased by 55.7% in the first half of 2007, to $34.3
million. Operating margins in the Branded business were 33.1% in the first half
of 2007, down from 34.4% in 2006. This change is due to the slight decrease in
Branded gross margin and to additional sales and marketing and general and
administrative expenses associated with JPI.
Injectables
Our Injectables business manufactures injectable generic pharmaceutical products
in powder, liquid and lyophilised forms for sale across the MENA Region, Europe
and the US.
Revenue in our Injectables business increased by 76.7% to $60.0 million,
compared to $34.0 million in the first half of 2006. The increase reflects
underlying organic growth of 23.0%, driven by a strong performance in the MENA
region, as well the consolidation of Ribosepharm and Thymoorgan, the injectable
oncology businesses acquired in the first half of 2007.
Injectables revenue grew in all countries across the MENA region, primarily due
to more focused sales and marketing efforts, including the addition of new
medical representatives, but also as a result of new product launches and an
increase in tender sales. In Europe, we saw strong growth in the Portuguese
market, as a direct result of superior customer service levels, and we continued
to strengthen our position in the highly competitive German market. In the US,
contract manufacturing sales fell as we prioritised our own product sales, which
increased to 53% of US Injectables sales, compared to 28% in the first half of
2006.
The oncology businesses, Ribosepharm and Thymoorgan, performed well in the first
half of 2007, contributing sales of $17.5 million, which includes $4.5 million
of non-recurring sales of Ribomustin, an under-license product, which was
discontinued from the Ribosepharm portfolio in April in accordance with the
original terms of the licensing agreement.
The sales and marketing team at Ribosepharm is maintaining a strong position in
the German injectable oncology market and we are successfully expanding our
product portfolio. At Thymoorgan, we have commenced the manufacture of our
first product for the Portuguese market and have begun the certification of the
plant for the MENA region.
During the first half of 2007, the Injectables business received 22 regulatory
approvals, including 6 in Europe, 15 in the MENA region and one ANDA approval in
the US.
Injectables gross profit increased by 100.1% to $29.6 million, compared to $14.8
million in the first half of 2006, with gross margin increasing to 49.3%,
compared to 43.5% in the first half of 2006. The increase in gross margin
reflects the contribution of Ribosepharm, which, as a sales and marketing
organisation, has higher gross margins than the underlying business. The gross
margin contribution from Ribosepharm more than offset slightly lower underlying
margins resulting from increasing price competition in Germany, the increase in
MENA tender sales and increasing overheads.
Injectables operating profit increased by 61.4% to $12.3 million, compared to
$7.6 million in the first half of 2006. Injectables operating margins decreased
to 20.5% in the first half of 2007, down from 22.5% in the first half of 2006,
primarily as a result of investment in our existing and new sales forces and an
increase in general and administrative expenses required to support the
business's growth.
In the first half of 2007 we began production at our new cephalosporin plant in
Portugal for Europe and the MENA region. We expect to begin production for the
US market in the second half of the year.
Generics
Revenue in our Generics business increased by 9.0% to $58.7 million, compared to
$53.8 million in the first half of 2006. This growth was driven by volume
increases, which offset continued price pressure, and by sales from recent
product launches. During the first half, the Generics business received three
ANDA approvals and launched one new product and five line extensions.
As expected, revenue growth in the Generics business was achieved through more
competitive pricing. As a result, Generics gross profit decreased by 2.6% to
$28.2 million, compared to $28.9 million in the first half of 2006, reflecting
continued price pressure as well as an increase in overhead expenses. Generics
gross margin was 48.1%, compared to 53.8% in the first half of 2006.
Generics operating profit decreased by 10.6% to $15.7 million. Operating margins
in the Generics business decreased to 26.7% of revenue, compared to 32.6% in the
first half of 2006 directly due to the decline in gross profit margin.
Other businesses
Other businesses, which primarily include Arab Medical Containers ('AMC'), a
manufacturer of plastic specialised packaging, and International Pharmaceuticals
Research Centre, which conducts bio-equivalency studies, had aggregate revenue
in the first half of 2007 of $2.6 million, or 1.1% of total Group revenue,
compared to aggregate revenue of $3.1 million in the first half of 2006.
Other businesses delivered an operating loss of $1.8 million in the first half
of 2007, compared to a loss of $0.1 million in the first half of 2006. This
change is due to the acquisition of the remaining share of JPI and the resulting
treatment of transactions between AMC and JPI.
Recent developments
In August we announced that we have agreed to acquire Alkan Pharma, an Egyptian
pharmaceuticals company, for a cash consideration of $60.5 million. Alkan's
local manufacturing capabilities, strong product portfolio and registration
pipeline, together with its extensive sales force, provides Hikma with a strong
base from which to access the large and growing Egyptian market.
Financial performance
Finance income
Financing income decreased by $1.2 million to $1.4 million due to a reduction in
the Company's net cash position following the acquisition of JPI, Ribosepharm
and Thymoorgan.
Finance costs
Financing costs increased by $1.5 million, reflecting the increase in debt
financing required to fund acquisitions and Group expansion.
Profit before tax
Profit before taxes and minority interest for the Group increased by 16.7% to
$49.5 million, compared to $42.4 million in the first half of 2006.
Tax
The Group incurred a tax expense of $12.6 million in the first half of 2007.
The effective tax rate was 25.5%, a year on year decrease of 1.5 percentage
points. The tax rate decrease was primarily due to a shift in the geographic
sales mix towards lower tax countries, particularly in the MENA Region.
Profit for the period
The Group's profit attributable to equity holders of the parent grew by 18.4% to
$35.6 million for the six months to 30 June 2007.
Earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share for the six months to 30 June 2007 were 20.2 cents,
up 17.4% from 17.2 cents in the first half of 2006.
Dividend
The Board has declared an interim dividend of 3.5 cents per share (approximately
1.7 pence per share). The interim dividend will be paid on 26 October 2007 to
shareholders on the register on 28 September 2007 with an ex-dividend date of 26
September 2007.
Operating cash flow and investment
Net cash inflow from operating activities was $1.8 million, compared to $9.6
million in the first half of 2006. Investment in working capital increased by
$49.3 million compared to 31 December 2006, primarily due to an increase in
receivables and inventory.
Receivables increased by 66% compared to 30 June 2006. Excluding acquisitions,
receivables increased by 37%, in line with the growth in sales achieved in the
MENA region, where collection periods are generally higher. As at 30 June 2007,
receivable days stood at 122 days, compared to 107 days at 30 June 2006 and 126
days at 31 December 2006.
Inventory increased by 60% compared to 30 June 2006, due to acquisitions and the
necessity to support growth in sales. As at 30 June 2007, inventory days stood
at 176 days, compared to 163 days at 30 June 2006 and 194 days at 30 December
2006.
Net cash used for investing activities was $93.4 million, compared to $26.2
million in the first half of 2006. Of this, capital expenditure amounted to
$19.1 million, compared to $25.0 million in the first half of 2006 and $49.7
million for the 2006 full year. This expenditure relates to expansion projects
in the Branded and Injectables businesses. During the first half of the year
the Group also made regular investments to upgrade and maintain existing
facilities.
Another significant component of investment activity during the first half was
the $73.4 million paid for the acquisitions of Ribosepharm and Thymoorgan.
Balance sheet
The Group had a cash balance of $50.9 million as at 30 June 2007, compared to
$117.1 million at 30 June 2006. The Group's net debt position at 30 June 2007
was $74.8 million, compared to a net cash position of $69.1 million at 30 June
2006, reflecting the increase in debt financing related to acquisitions and
Group expansion. Net cash/debt is calculated as the total of investments in
cash deposits, collateralised cash and cash and cash equivalents less bank
overdrafts and the current and long term portion of loans and obligations under
finance leases.
Intangible assets increased by $78.8 million from 30 June 2006. Of this
increase, $15.2 million relates to the second half of 2006 and comes mainly from
the acquisition of JPI. The increase during the first half of 2007 by $63.6
million is primarily due to the acquisitions of Ribosepharm and Thymoorgan.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HIKMA PHARMACEUTICALS PLC
Introduction
We have been instructed by the company to review the financial information for
the six months ended 30 June 2007 which comprise the consolidated income
statement, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of changes
in equity, the consolidated cash flow statement, and the related notes 1 to 10.
We have read the other information contained in the interim report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the financial information.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with Bulletin 1999/4
issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an
independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than
the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we
have formed.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim report, including the financial information contained therein, is
the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors
are responsible for preparing the interim report in accordance with the Listing
Rules of the Financial Services Authority which require that the accounting
policies and presentation applied to the interim figures are consistent with
those applied in preparing the preceding annual accounts except where any
changes, and the reasons for them, are disclosed.
Review work performed
We conducted our review in accordance with the guidance contained in Bulletin
1999/4 issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A
review consists principally of making enquiries of group management and applying
analytical procedures to the financial information and underlying financial data
and, based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation
have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes
audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets,
liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and
Ireland) and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information.
Review conclusion
On the basis of our review we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial information as presented for the six months
ended 30 June 2007.

Notes to the interim financial information
1. Significant accounting policies
Basis of accounting
The unaudited financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2007 and
the comparative financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2006 have
been prepared, using the same accounting policies and on a basis consistent with
the audited full year results for the year ended 31 December 2006. The financial
information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for
the revaluation to market of certain financial assets and liabilities.
The financial information for the year ended 31 December 2006 does not
constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of the Company's
Act 1985. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006, which were
prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board, have been filed with the Registrar of
Companies. The auditor's report on those accounts was unqualified and did not
contain any statement under Section 237 of the Companies Act 1985.
The currency used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements is the US Dollar as the majority of the Company's business is
conducted in US Dollars (USD).
