Bargaining Power of Suppliers

The more diverse distribution channels become the less bargaining power a single distributor will have.

High levels of competition among suppliers acts to reduce prices to producers.

"Low Concentration Of Suppliers (Dr Reddys Lab)" is an easy qualitative factor to overcome, so the investment will not have to spend much time trying to overcome this issue.

The easier it is to switch suppliers, the less bargaining power they have.

Bargaining Power of Customers

When buyers are less sensitive to prices, prices can increase and buyers will still buy the product.

When buyers have limited information, they are at a disadvantage in negotiations with sellers.

When customers cherish particular products they end up paying more for that one product.

When there are large numbers of customers, no one customer tends to have bargaining leverage. 

Intensity of Existing Rivalry

When industries are growing revenue quickly, they are less likely to compete, because the total industry size is also growing. 

Government policies and regulations can dictate the level of competition within the industry. When they limit competition, this is a positive for Dr reddys lab. …

Large industries allow multiple firms and produces to prosper without having to steal market share from each other.

When exit barriers are low, weak firms are more likely to leave the market, which will increase the profits for the remaining firms. 

Threat of Substitutes• Substitute is lower quality• Substantial product differentiation• Limited number of substitutes

Threat of New Competitors• High sunk costs limit competition• Strong brand names are important• Customers are loyal to existing brands• Patents limit new competition

• Revenue from sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates in India is recognized on delivery of products to customers from the factories of the Company.

• Revenue from sales of formulation products in India is recognized upon delivery of products to distributors by clearing and forwarding agents of the Company.

• Revenue from export sales is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products are transferred to the customers, which is based upon the terms of the applicable contract

Financial policy of DR Reddy’s Laboratories

debt assets ratio 0.16 0.18 0.19 0.086 0.1Interest Cover 29.55 25.22 220.9 250.76 53.32

Debt Equity Ratio 0.50 0.65 0.59 0.39 0.57

2013 Net Debt/Equity ratio: 0.20

In 2012 it is running high risk with debt ratios above 0.5, this company’s financial growth is more from the borrower’s money, so it’s not completely safe over the long run. Then their assets and equity are not sufficient to fund the total liabilities.

So company increased share capital by issuing new shares through the various policy’s under the “Dr. Reddy’s Employees Stock Option Plan" and it paid long term debt about 38 million.

Debt assets ratio: 0.16

Company has less than 1 debt assets ratio so its assets are less financed by debt company can utilize its borrowings the Indian pharmaceutical industry is more dependent on foreign exports so the currency exchange rate plays more important role in generating profits so company has gone for less debt to protect itself from bankruptcy.

Interest Coverage ratio: 29.55 The company having amazing interest coverage

ratio that is 29.55 more than 1.5 company can borrow money it can enjoy its credit worthiness.

But it is a pharmaceutical industry where they has lot of regulatory issues from its export country’s the foreign country may cancel their licenses because of small faults like Ranbaxy case. So it’s not good for the company to depend upon the debt.

May be the company patented drug alternative produced by its competitors then it leads to decrease in revenues.
