The investors may be aware that Cilag GmbH International ("Cilag") raised certain claims under transaction documents in relation to sale of Russia-CIS OTC business undertaking by the company in July 2011. The company had disputed these claims. However, in order to avoid costs and delays involved in litigation, the company and Cilag mutually settled these claims pursuant to the Settlement agreement. Accordingly, the transaction consideration received earlier was reduced by Rs. 64.50 crores, which sum the company paid to Cilag in July 2013 out of the Escrow account. This settlement has helped the company to focus on the business. This exceptional payment has been accounted for as an expense in the quarter under review, which has affected the reported profits. The Y-o-Y normal business performance is tabulated above for easy analysis.

The domestic formulations business at sales of Rs. 85.77 crores for the quarter registered overall growth of 20.27%, while the year-to-date growth for the business is 16.26%. The concentration on growth of focus products and better field efficiency has helped achieve better performance in the domestic market.

The formulations exports at Rs. 119.21 crores registered growth of 12.33% during the quarter, while the year-to-date growth is 16.05%.
