1.Company Information
Senores Pharmaceuticals primarily focuses on the development and manufacture of generic pharmaceutical products for Regulated Markets, such as the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In addition to this, they operate in Emerging Markets and also have a Critical Care Injectables business that supplies hospitals in India. They manufacture APIs for both the domestic and SAARC markets and plan to expand their API business into Regulated and semi-regulated markets.
The company currently has several manufacturing sites in operation. Their US FDA-approved OSD formulation manufacturing facility is in the US. They also have two facilities in India; a WHO-GMP approved facility in Chhatral (Ahmedabad), Gujarat, for products sold in Emerging Markets, and a facility in Naroda for manufacturing critical care injectables. They are currently in the process of setting up a new greenfield API manufacturing unit in Chhatral and plan to invest in a subsidiary, Havix, to set up a new manufacturing facility for sterile injections at their Atlanta facility.
Senores Pharmaceuticals has a good track record of financial performance. They have a strategy of identifying, developing, and commercializing specialty and complex niche products in the mid-market range. This focus on more niche and complex products has led to higher margins. The majority of the company's revenue is generated from sales to their top 10 customers, most of which are based in the US and Canada. While this is a potential risk for investors, Senores Pharmaceuticals are looking to expand into new markets. They have not paid any dividends in the last three fiscal years and they do not guarantee that they will pay dividends in the future.
