'Our position as a global speciality pharmaceutical company, with a position in
the MENA region, is stronger than ever. We have an excellent product portfolio,
a large and growing sales and marketing team and excellent manufacturing
capabilities that enable us to take advantage of the extremely favourable market
environment in which we operate.
Through the acquisitions we made in the MENA region this year, in Egypt and

acquisitions of Ribosepharm and Thymoorgan are providing an excellent platform
from which to develop a presence in the fast growing oncology market.
Globally, we are confident of delivering another year of strong performance in
2008 driven by our Branded and Injectable businesses, as we continue to grow
Hikma into a leading speciality pharmaceutical company and deliver high returns
on investment to our shareholders.'

Business and financial review
Branded Pharmaceuticals
Revenue in the Branded business, our largest business segment, increased by
52.9% to $198.9 million, compared to $130.1 million in 2006. Excluding the
acquisitions of JPI and Alkan, underlying sales growth was 32.0%, primarily due
to strong growth 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 Gulf Cooperation Council ('GCC')
countries was driven in part by the successful integration of JPI.
Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Sudan were the Branded business's largest
markets in 2007. In Algeria, Hikma grew well above the average market growth
rate. This growth was driven by an increase in the number of marketed products,
enhanced sales and marketing efforts, with more focus on doctors, pharmacists
and better geographical coverage, and by strengthening our relationships with
the leading distributors. Our market share in Algeria reached 6.0% in 2007,
compared to 3.9% at the end of 2006, making us the fourth largest pharmaceutical
company in the Algerian market(3).
Sales in Saudi Arabia grew by nearly 80%, as we worked hard to complete the
integration of JPI. By year end the combined sales teams were performing well
and we had achieved strong margin improvement. We also increased our share of
the tender market, benefiting from our new status as a local manufacturer. Our
share of the private market, however, decreased to 3.8% in 2007, compared to
4.0% in 2006, making us the 6th largest player in the Saudi Arabian market.3 We
are confident of further progress in 2008 through increased sales efforts, the
benefits of new product launches - including three new products launched in 2007
and further benefits of the JPI / Hikma integration. We will benefit from APM's
strong position in the Saudi market.
Our growth in the Jordanian market was also strong in 2007 and well ahead of the
underlying market, due to new product launches, more focused sales efforts
especially for key products and better market coverage by our medical
representatives. We received 12 product approvals and launched nine new products
in the Jordanian market during the year. In 2007, we maintained our position as
market leader in the Jordanian market and our market share increased to 7.7%,
compared to 7.3% in 2006.(3)
(3) Source: IMS Health.
In Sudan we performed extremely well, largely due to a strong product focus, an
increase in the number of medical representatives and better geographical
coverage, combined with a more stable operating environment, growing pharmacy
chains and an overall increase in pharmaceutical spend. Significant benefits
were also derived from the integration of JPI's Sudanese operations. While
market data is not readily available for the Sudanese market, we believe that we
now have a leading position in this market.
We also achieved strong performances in some of our newer and smaller markets,
including UAE, Lebanon and the Ukraine, driven mainly by better brand
recognition and product launches.
In 2007 we continued to work hard to strengthen our leading position in the MENA
region. Through the acquisition of Alkan Pharma in September 2007, we extended
our reach into the important Egyptian market, which we estimate was worth
approximately $1.9 billion in 2007. We now have more than 250 sales and
marketing staff in Egypt and market 84 products in 126 dosage strengths and
forms. Five of these products are in-licenced and a further 19 products are
pending approval. In addition, we continue to sell Astellas' life-saving
immunosuppressant, Prograf, in the Egyptian market and will soon launch Actos,
Takeda's leading Type 2 diabetes drug.
Through the acquisition of Arab Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Co. Ltd. ('APM') at
the end of December 2007, we strengthened our position in our existing markets,
particularly in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. This acquisition brings together a high
quality and complementary portfolio. APM's currently marketed portfolio of 105
products in 222 dosage strengths and forms will enhance the product offering
available to Hikma's enlarged sales force by expanding existing product lines,
strengthening existing therapeutic areas and adding new molecules. APM's
portfolio includes oral, injectable and dermatological products and spans a
number of therapeutic categories, including cardiovascular, diabetes and
oncology.
Sales from in-licensed products grew by 44.6% to $64.2 million in 2007,
representing 32.3% of Branded sales, compared to 34.1% in 2006. During the
year, three new licensing agreements were signed and five new licenses were
added with the acquisition of Alkan in Egypt, bringing the total number of
in-licensed products marketed in the Branded business to 33.(4)
Gross profit in the Branded business increased by 55.5% to $108.0 million,
compared to $69.5 million in 2006. Gross margin in the Branded business
increased to 54.3%, compared to 53.4% in 2006. This change in gross profit
margin is attributed primarily to an improvement in product mix.
Operating profit in the Branded business increased by 56.7% in 2007, to $61.7
million. Through a strict focus on operating efficiencies, operating margins in
the Branded business increased to 31.0% in 2007, compared to 30.3% in 2006,
which demonstrates the successful integration of JPI. In 2007, operating
expenses included only a small amortisation charge related to acquisitions.
Going forward, however, we expect the amortisation charge for intangible assets
related to acquisitions to be close to $4.0 million.
In 2007, the Branded business received 78 regulatory approvals, including 12 in
Jordan, 49 in other MENA markets and 17 in Europe and the rest of the world. In
line with our strategic objectives for the Branded business, we launched a total
of 15 new products in 2007, nine in Jordan, three in Saudi Arabia and three in
Egypt. The total number of Branded sales and marketing staff operating across
our 17 MENA markets at year end was 1,010, which includes 256 in Egypt, 221 in
Saudi Arabia, 191 in Jordan and 127 in Algeria.
Injectable Pharmaceuticals
Our global Injectable business manufactures injectable pharmaceutical products
in powder, liquid and lyophilised forms for sale across the MENA region, Europe
and the US. The Injectable business contributed 27.0% of total Group revenue in
2007, compared to 21.3% in 2006.
Revenue in our Injectable business increased by 79.3% to $121.2 million,
compared to $67.6 million in 2006. The increase reflects underlying organic
growth of 25.2%(5), driven primarily by a strong performance in the MENA region,
as well as the consolidation of Ribosepharm and Thymoorgan, the injectable
oncology businesses acquired in the first half of 2007.
(4) At the end of 2007, a further five in-licenced products were pending launch.
(5) Organic growth is calculated before the acquisitions of Ribosepharm and
Thymoorgan.
During the year, the Injectables business received 42 regulatory approvals,
including 11 in Europe, 30 in the MENA region and one in the US. 25 of these
approvals were for new products, the rest were for new dosage strengths or
forms. Since the beginning of 2008, we have received a further four approvals in
the US.
In the MENA region, the Injectables business delivered strong growth across most
markets, with the largest contributions coming from Algeria, Saudi Arabia and
Sudan. This growth was driven by our strong product position, more focused sales
and marketing efforts, additional medical representatives, an increased focus on
institutional customers and an increasing ability to execute a bundled sales
strategy. Growth was reinforced by the 18 new products launched during the year.
In Europe, we saw strong growth in the Italian and Portuguese market as a direct
result of increased customer focus, and we were able to maintain our position in
the highly competitive German market. During the year we launched four new
products in the European market.
In the US, we faced increased competition. Nevertheless, we continue to grow own
product sales and are developing a strong market position for our products,
particularly the cephalosporins. In 2007 we began selling our products to the US
government and won several new contracts with buying groups for 2008. We
launched two new products in the US market in 2007 and expect to launch a
further three products in multiple dosage strengths and forms in the first half
of 2008.
In 2007 we took the important strategic step of entering the injectable generic
oncology market. In January we acquired Ribosepharm, a German oncology company
specialising in the marketing and distribution of branded generic injectable
oncology products. In May, we acquired Thymoorgan, a German contract
manufacturer of lyophilised and liquid injectables for both oncological and
non-oncological uses.
Ribosepharm and Thymoorgan, now our oncology business, performed well in 2007,
contributing sales of $36.6 million, which includes approximately $11 million of
sales from in-licensed products that have been or will be discontinued, which is
in line with expectations at the time of the Ribosepharm acquisition.
The sales and marketing team at Ribosepharm is performing well in the German
injectable oncology market and we are successfully expanding our oncology
product portfolio, which now includes 12 marketed products and a pipeline of 13
additional products. At Thymoorgan, we commenced the manufacture of our first
products for the European and MENA markets.
Gross profit of the Injectables business increased by 91.1% to $54.2 million,
compared to $28.3 million in 2006. The Injectable business's gross margin
increased to 44.7%, compared to 41.9% in 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 lower gross margins before
the impact of acquisitions resulting from increasing price competition in
Germany, the increase in MENA tender sales, which have lower margins, and an
increase in overheads and depreciation expense related to our new plant in
Portugal. As we expand production at the new plant in Portugal, we expect
overhead and depreciation expenses to decrease as a percentage of sales.
Injectable operating profit increased by 53.1% to $20.5 million, compared to
$13.4 million in 2006. Injectable operating margins decreased to 16.9% in 2007,
down from 19.8% in 2006. The decrease was driven primarily by the lower
underlying gross margins but also to an increase in operating expenses incurred
to support continued growth across all regions. These operating expenses include
an amortisation charge of $1.6 million related to the acquisition of intangible
assets. In 2008, we expect this charge will be approximately $2.2 million.
During the year, we focused on developing our Injectables sales and marketing
capabilities across all geographies and ended the year with 77 sales and
marketing representatives in the MENA Region, and 43 in Europe, including five
in Portugal and 33 in Germany, and 10 in the United States.
Generic Pharmaceuticals
The Generic business contributed 27.7% of total Group revenue in 2007, compared
to 35.9% in 2006 as the Branded and Injectables businesses continue to grow both
organically and through acquisitions. Consistent with 2006, all Generic revenues
were generated in the United States.
While price competition remained high in 2007, improved sales efforts and
increased demand for key products helped to drive volume growth. Sales from
recently launched products also drove Generic revenues, which grew by 9.3% in
2007 to $124.2 million, compared to $113.7 million in 2006.
Our sales contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs ('the VA'), an agency
of the government of the United States, for the supply of Lisinopril expired on
20 December 2007. As the VA has not submitted a new solicitation for this
product, we expect volumes to be considerably lower going forward. We expect to
compensate with sales from products launched in 2007 and 2008, but these sales
will have lower margins, and will result in lower margins going forward for the
segment as a whole.
Recent additions to strengthen the Generics senior management team will support
the business going forward. A new finance director was appointed in late 2007
and a new sales and marketing director was appointed in early 2008. Both have
significant experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Generic business received 9 ANDA approvals in 2007, including 4 for new
products. In addition, a total of 6 products were launched during the year.
Gross profit of the Generic business decreased by 2.0% to $58.6 million,
compared to $59.8 million in 2006. Gross margin in the Generic business was
47.2%, compared to 52.6% in 2006. This reflects continued price erosion, as well
as changes in the product mix.
Generic operating profit decreased by 12.1% to $31.6 million. Operating profit
margins in the Generic business decreased to 25.5% of revenue, compared to 31.7%
in 2006. The decrease in operating margin is attributed to price erosion and the
product mix mentioned above, as the level of operating expenses remained largely
unchanged.
Other businesses
Other businesses, which include primarily Arab Medical Containers, a
manufacturer of specialised plastic packaging, and International Pharmaceuticals
Research Centre, which conducts bio-equivalency studies, had aggregate revenue
in 2007 of $4.5 million, or 1.0% of total Group revenue. Other businesses
delivered an operating loss of $3.4 million in 2007, compared to a loss of $1.2
million in 2006, as a result of an increase in investment in research and
development.
Group performance
Revenue for the Group increased by 41.6% to $448.8 million, compared to $317.0
million in 2006. Excluding the acquisitions of Ribosepharm, Thymoorgan and Alkan
Pharma, revenues increased by 28.0%. The latter increase was primarily due to
strong increases in revenue in both the Branded and Injectable businesses.
In 2007, 44.3% of revenue was generated by our Branded business, 27.7% of
revenue was generated by our Generic business and 27.0% by our Injectables
business. Geographically, 51.1% of revenue was generated in the MENA region,
while 32.0% of revenue was generated in the United States and 17.0% in Europe
and the rest of the world.
The Group's gross profit increased by 39.7% to $221.5 million, compared to
$158.5 million in 2006. Group gross margins for 2007 were 49.4% of revenue,
compared to 50.0% in 2006. On a segmental basis, gross margins improved in the
Branded and Injectables businesses, but declined in the Generic business, due to
continued price erosion.
Group operating expenses increased in 2007 by 53.3% to $129.1 million, compared
to $84.2 million for 2006, mainly due to an increase in sales and marketing and
general and administrative expenditures related to acquisitions and to an
increase in corporate expenses required to support the enlarged Group. These
expenses include an amortisation charge of $1.6 million relating to intangible
assets arising on these and other acquisitions completed during the year. Sales
and marketing expenses represented 13.6% of Group revenue in 2007, compared to
11.0% in 2006.
Sales and marketing expenses before acquisitions(6) grew by 26.7%, which
reflects the strong growth in both the Branded and Injectables businesses.
Including acquisitions, sales and marketing expenses increased by 74.3% to $61.0
million, due primarily to the acquisition of Ribosepharm, and to the full
consolidation of Al-Jazeera Pharmaceutical Industries ('JPI').
The Group's general and administrative expenses increased by 51.7% to $46.0
million, compared to $30.3 million in 2006. As anticipated, the change arose
mainly from the consolidation of JPI, Ribosepharm, Thymoorgan and Alkan. The
need to support the growth of the Group has also increased corporate general and
administrative costs, which include costs associated with the company's new
long-term incentive plan. General and administrative expenses represented 10.3%
of Group revenue in 2007, compared to 9.6% in 2006.
Investment in R&D for the Group increased by 5.7% to $19.3 million, compared to
$18.3 million in 2006. This increase, which can be attributed to ongoing
investment in the development of our product portfolio, was lower than in 2006
reflecting a shift towards product and business acquisitions. Total investment
in R&D represented 4.3% of Group revenue in 2007, compared to 5.8% in 2006.
Other net operating expenses, which consist mainly of provisions against slow
moving items partially offset by foreign exchange gains, were $2.8 million,
compared to $0.6 million in 2006.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation increased by 30.1%
to $115.8 million, compared to $89.0 million in 2006. Operating profit for the
Group increased by 22.8% to $92.4 million, compared to $75.2 million in 2006.
Group operating margin declined by 3.1 percentage points to 20.6% in 2007,
compared to 23.7% of revenue in 2006.
Research & Development
The Group's product(7) portfolio continues to grow. In the year to 31 December
2007, Hikma added 177 new products to the Group portfolio, which now covers 353
products in 728 dosage strengths and forms. We manufacture and/or sell 40 of
these under licence from the originator.
(6) This excludes the acquisition of Ribosepharm, Thymoorgan, Alkan Pharma and JPI.
(7) Products are defined as pharmaceutical compounds sold by the Group.
New products are defined as pharmaceutical compounds not yet launched by the
Group and existing compounds being introduced into a new segment or a new

* Includes only the first filing of a product or line extension in the MENA
region.
** Includes only the first filing of a product or line extension in Europe or

To ensure the continuous development of our product pipeline, we submitted a
total of 74 regulatory filings for the first time in MENA, the US and Europe. As
of 31 December 2007, we had a total of 158 pending approvals in Jordan, the US
and Europe and 543 pending approvals across all regions and markets.
We estimate the approximate addressable market for our portfolio of pending
approvals to be approximately $19.8 billion, based on the 2007 full year sales
of the currently marketed equivalent products in the markets covered by the
pending approvals.
At 31 December 2007, we had a total of 133 new products under development, the
majority of which should receive several marketing authorisations over the next
few years, including separate marketing authorisations in differing strengths
and/or product forms over the next few years.
Finance income and costs
The Group's financing income principally comprises interest income. Financing
income decreased by $3.2 million to $2.0 million in 2007, compared to $5.3
million in 2006. Financing costs increased by $5.9 million to $10.8 million,
compared to $5.0 million in 2006. The decrease in finance income and increase in
finance costs was due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents and increase
in debt primarily as a result of the cash used to finance the acquisitions made
during the year.
Profit before tax
Profit before taxes for the Group increased by $8.2 million, or 10.8%, to $83.8
million, compared to $75.6 million in 2006.
Tax
The Group had a tax expense of $19.6 million in 2007. The effective tax rate was
23.4%, a year on year decrease of 2.6 percentage points. This improvement
reflects an increase in sales generated in the MENA region.
Minority interest
Hikma's minority interest increased to $1.6 million in 2007, compared to $1.4
million in 2006.
Profit for the year
The Group's profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent
grew by 14.8% to $62.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2007, compared to
$54.5 million in 2006.
Earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share for the year to 31 December 2007 were 35.4 cents, up
14.2% from 31.0 cents in 2006.
Dividend
The Board has recommended a final dividend of 4.0 cents per share (approximately
2.0 pence per share), which will make the dividend for the full year of 7.5
cents per share, compared to 7.0 cents per share in 2006. The proposed final
dividend will be paid on 2 June 2008 to shareholders on the register on 2 May
2008, subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting.
Operating cash flow and investment
Net cash inflow from operating activities was $45.1 million, compared to $35.3
million in 2006. Working capital increased by $46.9 million, compared to $35.1
million at the end of 2006, primarily due to an increase in receivables and
inventory in line with historic sales and planned growth.
Trade receivables increased by 59.1% compared to 31 December 2006 largely as a
result of acquisitions in addition to organic sales growth. Excluding
acquisitions(8), receivable days stood at 125 days as at 31 December 2007,
compared to 126 days at 31 December 2006, indicating steady receivable growth in
line with sales.
(8) Excluding Ribosepharm, Thymoorgan, Alkan Pharma and Arab Pharmaceutical
Manufacturing.
Inventory increased by 76.4% compared to 31 December 2006, due to acquisitions
and the necessity to support planned growth in sales. Excluding acquisitions8,
inventory days stood at 207 days as at 31 December 2007, compared to 193 days at
31 December 2006.
Net cash used for investing activities was $350.9 million, compared to $72.7
million in 2006. The most significant component of investment activity during
the year was acquisition related: $73.6 million paid for the acquisitions of R
ibosepharm and Thymoorgan, $61.1 million paid for Alkan Pharma in Egypt and
$167.4 million paid for Arab Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in Jordan. In
addition, capital expenditure amounted to $50.4 million, compared to $49.7
million in 2006. This expenditure relates primarily to expansion projects in the
Branded and Injectables businesses. During the year the Group also made regular
investments to upgrade and maintain existing facilities.
On 17 January 2008 we successfully raised gross proceeds of £81.6 million
(approximately $160 million) in an equity placing of shares, funding the
acquisition of APM, strengthening our balance sheet and and enhancing our
flexibility to finance future growth.
Outlook
In 2008, we are expecting revenue growth of between 35% and 40%, supported by
organic growth and by the acquisitions and investments we have made over the
past two years. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 47%.
In our Branded business, we expect to continue to deliver strong organic growth.
We expect further growth to come from the acquisitions we have made in the MENA
region, which are performing extremely well. We now have over 1,000 Branded
sales and marketing staff in place across the MENA region, an enhanced product
portfolio and broad manufacturing capabilities to drive and support this growth.
In our US Generics business, we expect sales in 2008 to be broadly in line with
that achieved in 2007, and expect continued pricing pressure and significant
gross margin erosion. Looking ahead, we will work to grow this business through
the recent strengthening of the management team, increasing focus on higher
margin, niche products, dedicating additional capacity in low cost countries and
concentrating on acquiring lower cost API.
In our global Injectables business, we expect strong growth driven by new
product launches, further penetration of our existing product portfolio and from
our new oncology business, as we build our product portfolio and launch these
products into new markets in Europe and MENA. We also expect to deliver
improving operating margins in this business, as we benefit from increasing
economies of scale.
We are confident of delivering another year of strong performance in 2008 driven
by our Branded and Injectable businesses as we continue to grow Hikma into a
leading speciality pharmaceutical company.

Hikma do not have contractual or legal rights over these assets they do not meet

profitability of the distribution of the products manufactured into the new
Hikma oncology market.
