Operational - continued strengthening of domestic position while building
international presence
· Launched a total of 30 new products (fifty-one presentations) in
Bangladesh market, nine of them introduced for the first time in the country
· Launched world's first generic of MSD's Molnupiravir, an oral
antiviral drug for COVID-19 treatment as well the first generic copy of
Pfizer's Paxlovid, the first US FDA approved breakthrough drug for COVID-19
treatment
· Completed acquisition of 54.6% stake in Sanofi Bangladesh Limited
with effect from 1 October 2021; and subsequently changed the name of the
company to Synovia Pharma PLC; integration on-track

vaccine over the period, with a cumulative 15 million doses delivered under
the tripartite agreement between the Serum Institute of India (SII),
Government of Bangladesh (GOB) and Beximco Pharma

Bangladesh (due, in part, to donations made directly to Bangladesh), means
that it is unlikely that GOB will seek to procure any further vaccine doses
through this agreement for the foreseeable future

Patent Pool (MPP) to produce the generic versions of MSD's Molnupiravir and
Pfizer's Paxlovid (both COVID-19 drugs)

· Entered four new countries: Morocco, St.Lucia, Georgia,
Timor-Leste (East Timor)
· Received approval for Bromhexine tablets in Australia
(post-period)
Update on COVID-19 Vaccine Supply
As noted above, there was an increase in COVID-19 vaccine supply into
Bangladesh in the second half of the financial year, including substantial
donations of surplus vaccine from other countries. This, combined with a
widespread lack of desire for a third dose from the general population, means
that it is unlikely that any further orders will be made through the agreement
between SII, GOB and Beximco Pharma and that little to no revenues will be
associated with this deal for the foreseeable future. A further announcement
will be made in the event that this status changes.
Beximco Pharma managing director Nazmul Hassan MP commented,
"In the current challenging macro environment, we are delighted to be able to
report another period of revenue growth. While we have seen the economic
downturn have an adverse impact on some of our export markets, this has been
more than offset by our domestic performance. With organic growth coupled with
the acquisition of Sanofi Bangladesh (now Synovia Pharma), we have continued
to further consolidate our domestic market position. Simultaneously, we have
maintained our focus on growing our position in high-value markets, such as
the US and UK through more product approvals during the period.
"Over the first quarter of the new financial year, we are seeing the impact of
numerous headwinds such as the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions and
record depreciation of local currency. While we expect these issues to have an
impact on Q1 and beyond, we remain committed to expanding our businesses,
seeking operational efficiencies and delivering on our strategy to maximise
the potential of Beximco Pharma."
Exchange rates of £1 = Taka 117.32 for 2020-21 numbers and £1 = Taka 111.93
for 2021-22 numbers have been used in this announcement.
