Dr. Reddy’s crosses $150 million revenue milestone in Russia & CIS region

Hyderabad, India, March 18, 2009 - Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE: RDY) today announced that it has crossed the milestone of $150 million of revenues in the Russia/CIS region for the fiscal year 2009. This milestone is a result of the efforts in building a branded franchise, cementing strong customer relationships and partnering with trade channels over last several years.

Dr. Reddy’s entered the Russia market in 1992 and consolidated its position during the turbulent currency crisis of the late 1990s. Today Dr. Reddy’s is the largest Indian Pharmaceutical company in Russia and is also the fastest growing international branded generic company by volume.

Commenting on the growth story, M V Ramana, Head-Russia & CIS Operations, Dr. Reddy’s said “The company has been growing rapidly over the last several years with revenues of $80 mn, $110 mn and $138 mn in the fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively in the Russia/CIS region. During the 11 months ended February 2009, the year-on-year revenue growth rate in Russia / CIS was a healthy ~24% in USD terms and we hope to maintain this growth and manage receivables pro-actively. The company has further reduced the receivable days (DSO) in Russia since December 2008. With almost 80%+ of the revenues generated from the top 4 distributors, the product portfolio is well penetrated geographically and enjoys good availability in the pharmacies.”

“With our strong presence in Russia over the past 15 years backed by leading branded generic products, we are deeply committed to this market. We are confident of tackling the challenges posed by the macroeconomic factors in the country as the branded generic and generic segments in Russia & CIS are relatively defensive to these factors. With strong brands, sustained growth in the OTC segment and our association with top tier distribution partners, we are confident on meeting the growth expectations in Russia and CIS”, said Satish Reddy, MD & COO, Dr. Reddy’s.

Notes to the Editor:

	•		Dr. Reddy’s is ranked 7th among generic companies in Russia as on February 2009 as per Russian market research firm pharmexpert.
	•		Omez®, Nise®, Ketorol® & Ciprolet® are our top four brands in the Russian market and are ranked No. 1 in their respective INN / molecular segments.
	•		The revenue milestone of $150mn and YoY growth rate of 24% mentioned above is based on invoicing as per average foreign currency rates for the period excluding any impact due to cash flow hedging.

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories realigns Global Generics geography portfolio

Hyderabad, India, March 19, 2009 - Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories announced that it has realigned its Global Generics finished dosages strategy to focus on certain key geographies and would gradually exit some of the very small distributor driven markets. The markets being exited would have an overall contribution of less than 1% to the topline. In addition to the US, India, Russia & CIS and Germany where the operations are already very large contributing to approx 90% (fig. for 9 months ended Dec 2008) of the Global Generics revenues, the company will continue operations in 10-15 markets wherein the company’s finished dosages sales are growing significantly.

This move represents an important new focus in the Global Generics business to consolidate and grow the Company’s presence in the key geographies where it already has a considerable presence. The exercise would result in reduction of complexity of operations on one hand and help in significantly enhanced customer service and market share on the other.

Outlining the rationale behind this move, Satish Reddy, MD and COO, Dr. Reddy’s said, “We intend to aggressively step up our presence in our key markets with this strategic prioritization. The market prioritization exercise would lead to redeployment of resources within the organization. The company will however continue to scan opportunities and attractiveness of international markets in line with its business strategy.”
