India growth excluding acquisition and reason for slowdown

the internal growth estimates for the branded prescription and the generic business are well over 11%. If you take out the acquisition, I think you have to take out from last year, we had a certain tender position in one of the products we had won, and that's basically replaced by the acquisition we've made.

Other expenses flattish QoQ despite seasonally heavy quarter

combination of two things. One is, you must have noticed the improvement in your gross margin, which is flowing through to your EBITDA. And there is some bit of operating leverage that exists. If you're comparing to just previous quarter, the previous quarter had some recall costs sitting out there, of albuterol that we had talked about.

Plans for GLP-1 opportunity in diabetes, oral and injectable

I think we will do sema. We definitely have plans for the oral version of the product. And if required, and based on our current understanding, if the market is there for an injectable, we will hopefully also try and introduce a product there.

Whether improving U.S. generics environment drove gross margin improvement

No. So it does contribute to the improvement, but it's a mixed bag in U.S. On certain cases in U.S., we've got volume improvement. ... Overall, the gross margin improvement is on account of a price, like I said, in India as well as in select products.

Whether U.S. contract traction is due to shortages or pre-buying, and sustainability

the shortage situation, until there are new capacities that come up, will probably continue. ... At least for those product families, we are not seeing price erosion.

Timing of Advair and Abraxane launches, first half next fiscal?

Depends on the review cycle at the FDA. ... it's difficult to predict, but we are hoping that, you know, this comes as soon as it can.

Contribution of differentiated products to U.S. sales and profitability

about over 70%-75% of our pipeline in the U.S. today is differentiated. ... EBITDA for different, overall U.S., if you see, right, it is above the company average, EBITDA margin today.

Reason for higher U.S. guidance of $220-225 vs previous $200-215

it's basically increased, slight increase in our albuterol shares, slight increase in the share of a few other product families. Also the share increase in Lanreotide.

Why margin guidance is conservative despite H1 margin of ~25%

the sustainable margins, the way we see it in this quarter, is in the range of 24%-25%. ... this quarter is very different. Hardly any anti-infective, and we know that there is some amount of anti-infective that comes in the winter months.
