Revenue Analysis [Q3FY24]

 

  · Q3FY24 consolidated revenue at Rs. 72.1 billion, YoY growth of 7% and QoQ growth of 5%. The YoY growth was primarily driven by market share gains for our existing products in North America and continuation of our growth journey in Europe.

 

Global Generics (GG)

 

  · Q3FY24 revenue at Rs. 63.1 billion, YoY growth of 7% and QoQ growth of 3%. YoY growth was primarily driven by increase in volumes of our base business, new product launches, partially offset by price erosion in certain markets. Sequential growth was driven by increase in volumes of our base business, offset partially due to price erosion in certain markets.

  

North America

 

  · Q3FY24 revenue at Rs. 33.5 billion, YoY growth of 9% and QoQ growth of 5%. YoY growth was on account of market share expansion in certain existing key products and revenues from new product launches, partly offset by price erosion.

Europe  

 

  · Q3FY24 revenue at Rs. 5.0 billion, YoY growth of 15% and QoQ decline of 6%. YoY growth was primarily on account of contribution from new product launches, improvement in base business volumes and favourable currency exchange rate movements, partly offset by price erosion.

6

 

 

Emerging Markets

 

  · Q3FY24 revenue at Rs. 12.8 billion, YoY decline of 2% and QoQ growth of 6%. YoY decline is attributable to unfavorable forex movement, while QoQ growth was driven by volume gains for few existing products and partially offset by unfavorable currency exchange rate movements.

YoY decline was majorly due to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements & high base business.

Income Statement Highlights:

 

  · Q3FY24 gross margin at 58.5% (GG: 61.9%, PSAI: 29.4%). Gross margin decreased by ~73 bps YoY and 18 bps sequentially. The decline in margin was primarily driven by lower prices for certain products in generic markets, partly offset by improvement in product mix and productivity.

 

  · Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses for Q3FY24 at Rs. 20.2 billion, YoY increase of 12% and by 8% QoQ. The YoY SG&A spend increase is largely on account of investments in sales & marketing activities, digitalization capabilities, and new business initiatives.
