ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss drugs group Novartis (NOVN.VX) intends to cut or
transfer up to 4,000 jobs, newspaper NZZ am Sonntag reported on Sunday,
citing an internal email.
The plan affecting up to 6 percent of its pharmaceuticals workforce comes on
top of a program to reduce the number of production sites and is part of a
larger drive to cut costs, the newspaper said.
Global drugmakers are under increasing pressure from investors to step up
restructuring as patents on best-selling drugs expire and governments try to
keep a lid on health costs.
Company spokesman Eric Althoff did not confirm the job numbers but issued a
statement saying that Novartis intends to prioritize and reallocate
resources primarily in pharmaceutical operations to focus on planned product
launches and other growth areas.
The measures "reflect the need to respond to a dynamically changing
healthcare environment", it said, adding that Novartis expects group
headcount to remain largely flat in 2014.
"We expect that an equal number of jobs will be created as are reduced," the
statement said.
A significant number of jobs are expected to be moved to India, with the
company saying that it plans to move existing operations in Hyderabad to a
business services center as part of its consolidation strategy.
"The new center is expected to open in late 2015 or early 2016 and will
bring together Novartis operations that are currently spread across three
sites in Hyderabad as well as provide for future growth," the statement said.
Novartis, which will face copycat competition for blood pressure pill Diovan
once Ranbaxy Laboratories (RANB.NS) overcomes regulatory delays for its
generic version, posted lower than expected core earnings per share last
week.
The company is also conducting a review of its over-the-counter, animal
health and vaccines businesses, which lack the global scale of its
pharmaceuticals operations. | s*****l
