Aurobindo Pharma reported a solid Q1 FY25 with revenue of INR 7,567 crore (+10% YoY) and PAT of INR 919 crore (+61% YoY), driven by strong performance in Europe (EUR 221 million, +8% YoY) and growth markets (+49% YoY). US formulation revenue was $426 million (+12% YoY), supported by volume gains and new launches, though injectable sales were impacted by remediation at Eugia Unit III. EBITDA margin of 21.4% was in line with guidance, with one-off costs of ~$9 million for remediation and Pen-G ramp-up. Management reiterated FY25 EBITDA margin target of 21%-22% and expects improvement from Q2 as remediation costs decline and Pen-G ramps from October. Europe is on track to exceed EUR 880 million for FY25. Key risk: further delays in Pen-G ramp-up or injectable remediation could pressure margins.
