2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Cipla delivered an all-time high quarterly revenue of INR 7,589 crore (+8% YoY) with a robust EBITDA margin of 25%, driven by broad-based growth across One India, US Generics, One Africa, and EMEU. The US business contributed $233 million in revenue, with Cipla becoming the #1 player in the albuterol MDI market (22% share). The India branded business grew 7% YoY, with chronic mix improving to 61.8%. Management revised FY26 EBITDA margin guidance down to 22.75%-24% (from 23.5%-24.5%) due to higher R&D spend and declining Revlimid contribution. Key growth drivers include the tirzepatide (Yurpeak) launch in India, upcoming respiratory and peptide launches in the US, and continued momentum in EMEU. Risk: Revlimid revenue is expected to become immaterial from Q3, creating a near-term revenue gap that new launches may not fully offset.
