Revenue Analysis [Q2 FY24]

Global Generics (GG)

  • Q2 FY24 revenue at Rs. 61.1 billion, YoY growth of 9% and QoQ growth of 2%. This growth was primarily driven by North America and Europe.

North America

  • Q2 FY24 revenue at Rs. 31.7 billion, YoY growth of 13% and QoQ decline of 1%. The growth was on account of growing momentum in our core portfolio, Mayne integration, favorable move from foreign exchange which was partly offset by price erosion.
  • During the quarter, we launched 4 new products in US.
  • During the quarter, we filed 2 new Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) with the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). As of 30th Sep 2023, cumulatively 79 generic filings are pending for approval with the USFDA (75 ANDAs and 4 NDAs under 505(b)(2) route). Out of the pending 79 ANDAs, 41 are Para IVs, and we believe 20 have ‘First to File’ status.

Europe

  • Q2 FY24 revenue at Rs. 5.3 billion, YoY growth of 26% and QoQ growth of 4%. The growth was driven by leveraging existing portfolio, contribution from new products and favorable forex which was partly offset by price erosion.

India

  • Q2 FY24 revenue at Rs. 11.9 billion, YoY growth of 3% and QoQ increase of 3%. This growth was largely driven by pricing, new launches and partly offset by NLEM impact and muted demand due to weak acute season. Excluding NLEM, operational sales grew in mid-single digit.

    • Revenue from Russia for the quarter at Rs. 5.8 billion, YoY decline of 3% and QoQ growth of 3%. YoY decline was majorly due to currency devaluation, excluding which YoY growth of 4% and QoQ growth of 9%. The increase was mainly driven by favorable pricing.
    • Revenue from other CIS countries and Romania for the year at Rs. 2.2 billion, YoY growth of 1% and QoQ growth of 12%. YoY growth, primarily on account of price increases on certain products, favorable move from foreign exchange which was partly offset by decline in base business volumes. QoQ growth was primarily driven by base business demand, partly offset by pricing pressure.
    • Revenue from Rest of World (RoW) territories for the year at Rs. 4.2 billion, YoY growth of 1% and QoQ growth of 6%. YoY growth, led by new product launches, which was partly offset by pricing pressure and lower base business.

Income Statement Highlights:

  • Q2 FY24 gross margin at 58.7% (GG: 63.6%, PSAI: 17.8%). Gross margin decreased by ~40 bps YoY and was in line with preceding quarter. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by marginal adverse price variance in certain products and mix change offset with favorable forex benefit.
  • Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses for Q2 FY24 at Rs. 18.8 billion, YoY increase of 13% and by 6% QoQ. The YoY SG&A spend increase is largely on account of investment in sales & marketing, digitalization, and other business initiatives.
