Explain trade generic segment restructuring and impact on Q1.

On trade generic, the model change is that we used to have a sole CFA agent, and now that converts into only a marketing agent. So we will have direct connect with the stockists. This requires administrative changes, due to which there can be some hiccups in the first quarter.

What is trade generics contribution to One India?

The split, we usually don't give that split. It's the same split as both halves grown, trade generic slightly higher than the RX market. So the split is broadly same as has been in the previous years.

Update on inorganic investments and interest in semi-specialty assets.

With India, we are fairly comfortable with the growth available. We can make a large acquisition in India in white spaces. When it comes to U.S., it won't be a large acquisition, focused on products with differentiation, supply constraint or lower competition.

What percentage of India manufacturing is in-house vs outsourced?

We have a larger share of the prescription business manufactured in Cipla facilities than the generic business. It varies quarter by quarter due to seasonality. Difficult to give a picture other than a larger share of prescription business comes from in-house.

Market opportunity for peptide assets filed and manufacturing source.

Peptides, all of our peptides is manufactured by our third-party partners. On market opportunities, some of them can be large opportunities, like in case of our current portfolio. But there's a long tail as well.

Will US growth come from current portfolio or new launches?

We think the current portfolio has opportunity within the set of products, because Albuterol can be slightly higher in share, lanreotide can still increase its share. So there is a fair amount we can build out of the current portfolio, but also from new launches. The step function jumps in growth will come more from new launches.

Update on Goa plant FDA inspection and Abraxane launch timing.

The timing of Abraxane is gonna depend on the Goa inspection. We think the Goa inspection, from our last inspection, we will be completing roughly about two years in July, August of this time frame. So around that time or beyond it, is probably the time to expect the reinspection.

Update on biosimilar, CAR-T, mRNA investments.

We are beginning to see to make choices on capital allocation. We are now in the process of setting up an mRNA lab in Germany. Biosimilar asset is now hopefully going to enter phase one soon. On CAR-T, we are evaluating what we can do.

Details on Sanofi CNS tie-up: contract structure and profitability.

These will be very typical to licensing arrangements that we have on other products. There's going to be not much difference in the terms here versus the other. But it adds strategic value to be present in a category where we believe we can complete the offering in the CNS space.

Revenue growth expectations for FY25?

We do not give revenue growth guidance, but certainly for our core markets of India, U.S., as well as South Africa, and then especially India and South Africa, because that's actively tracked and we are guiding towards that.

Alankar Garude · Kotak Institutional Equities

Are you factoring incremental competition in Albuterol and Lanreotide?

Yes. Like, whatever new players are likely to come in, we are cognizant of that, and, with that, we are aiming to increase our market share.
