✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Cipla reported Q4 FY24 revenue of INR 6,163 crore, up 10% YoY, with EBITDA margin expanding 95 bps to 21.4%. Full-year revenue hit a record INR 25,455 crore (+14% YoY) and PAT stood at INR 4,106 crore (16% margin). Growth was driven by One India crossing INR 10,000 crore, North America reaching $906 million (+24% YoY), and South Africa leading prescription market share. Key drivers included branded prescription growth (10% YoY), lanreotide market share of 20.8%, and albuterol share rising to 15.5% in April. Management guided FY25 EBITDA margin of 24.5%-25.5% (up to 100 bps expansion) and capex of INR 1,500 crore. Risks include USFDA observations at Patalganga and Kurkumbh facilities, potential disruption from trade generics channel restructuring, and timing uncertainty for Goa plant reinspection and Abraxane launch.

In FY 2024, we recorded our highest ever revenue and EBITDA, including major milestones across our flagship businesses of One India, North America, and South Africa.
We want Cipla to have a chance to be able to play a formidable role, just like it does in the chemistry side of the world, but also to play that role in the biology side of the world.
The whole idea is to actually grow that value this year.
