One product we're going to launch in this financial year is Tomato Ketchup and Mayonnaise which will be in addition to our FMCG basket what we already have.

Going forward, our total concentration is only on pharmaceuticals.

Now we do not have these businesses in Dominican Republic or Guatemala, neither are we trying plan to do this business in other geographies of E] Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, or Central African Republic.
Ashish Maheshwari

And the ancillary hardware business has saturated already in Angola more or less, but sometimes we see spikes of 10%, 20% but on overall financial year level it is a bit saturated, we won't have much place to grow there, it will grow at a normal percentage.

From Central America, the total growth will be from pharma only.

As the product registrations are constant currently at 548, so when do you expect it to increase, I mean, by number if you can tell me the exact number by the end of FY’21?

Q
My first question is on our recent product launch of sanitizers. So how many more products are we intending to launch by the end of this financial year and I assume that this product would be the bulk product, so the EBITDA margins for this product would be lesser than our other products or is it at par with the other products?
Ashish Maheshwari
So you are coming to the FMCG segment. So your first question was what the more products are we are going to launch in this financial year in this segment. In this financial year, I don't think we are going to launch more products. We already have Biscuits, we have Wafers which comes under confectionery, we have Sanitizers, and we have Disinfectants and we have a Toothpaste. There are five products we are doing in the FMCG segment. Of course, within Biscuits we are doing eight different kinds of biscuits. One product we're going to launch in this financial year is Tomato Ketchup and Mayonnaise
Q
My question is regarding the product registration. As the product registrations are constant currently at 548, so when do you expect it to increase, I mean, by number if you can tell me the exact number by the end of FY’21?
Ashish Maheshwari
Yes, we have not seen the increase of product registrations in third quarter because in the first two quarters of this year all ministers of health in all countries were impacted by COVID work. So, works were not going on very quickly in the product registration departments. But now since January reopening of all offices on January 4" this year, we are seeing a good movement in that. In fact in this Q4, we are expecting at least 40 product registrations to come up in this quarter and more in the next quarter.
Q
Ihave some couple of questions. So the company has 548 pharmaceutical products, registration spanning across five countries and another 582 product registrations in the pipeline. So in this case I must add all this 582 plus 582, can I say it is 1,100 products, what exactly sir?
Ashish Maheshwari
What it means is that 548 product registrations we already have, and we are already doing business with the registrations in these products. When I say 580 products, the pipeline, it means more applications for 580 products have been filed or in the process of being filed. So we are doing it bit-by-bit, like Central African Republic, 175 products, in Guatemala we have 65 now, we'll go up to 149-150 products, in El Salvador, I hardly have 12, now we are going up. So we are ramping up these processes. As and when we receive product registrations, new products will enter the market which will be
Q
I have a few questions; first one is a clarification, you said Angola working capital cycle, the dynamics are different, that I understood. And then you mentioned 116 days. Did you say 160 or 116?
Ashish Maheshwari
116-days. Second sir, these 580 odd new registrations, what's the potential size of these registrations, because obviously these are new geographies and how big are they compared to your existing’? I can give you a generic answer to this that once I say 580 products, my general thumb rule is that I'll be able to get at least anything between $3,000 dollars per product per month. Even if I do $2,500 per product per month into 580 into 12, it gives me an upside anything between $17 and $20 million . This is a very conservative number I'm telling you. we can do more... It's a very useful metrics
Q
What is the impact of foreign currency movements let us say dollar appreciation or depreciation over a period, how we safeguard and how we safeguard because it is totally a trading business actually?
Ashish Maheshwari
That's a good question. There are dollar fluctuations in these countries and on average dollar fluctuations are around 10% to 12% to 13% in a full year. So whenever the global currency depreciates and dollar appreciates, we raise our prices to an extent which is totally acceptable in these markets. So for whatever we have stocks on the ground, we don't lose any money because prices are raised to that extent. In our SAP system, we define the prices in dollars, and we define the exchange rate in a SAP system. So suppose the dollar goes up from let's say 55 today to 58 tomorrow, we change the dol
Q
Sir, [have a follow-up question on our strategy. So if I'm not mistaken our revenue from Angola is around 80%, right?
Ashish Maheshwari
Yes. But when I look at the slide where you are given the economic data, so whatever the economic parameter I look at in terms of credit rating, inflation, GDP growth rate, so in any economic data term Angola is the laggard where you are present but even after that bulk of our revenue comes from Angola. I just want to understand what is the reason and are we trying to reduce that going forward? Generally data shows the economic spring of a country in one way. Now if you look at Angola that way Angola is a country with a population of just 2.5 crores people, which is oftenthe population of one
