Divis Laboratories reported a strong Q3 FY25 with PAT of INR 589 crore, up 64.5% YoY, driven by robust custom synthesis growth and stable generics volumes. The company commissioned Phase I of its Kakinada Unit 3 in January 2025, enhancing backward integration and freeing capacity at existing units. Management highlighted increased customer engagement, RFPs, and new opportunities in GLP-1 peptides and contrast media. Guidance points to sustained double-digit revenue growth, though margin trajectory remains uncertain due to product mix and Kakinada ramp-up costs. Key risks include potential US tariff policy changes and ongoing pricing pressure in generics.
डिविस लैबोरेटरीज ने वित्त वर्ष 2025 की तीसरी तिमाही में शानदार प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी का मुनाफा 589 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो पिछले साल की तुलना में 64.5% ज्यादा है। यह वृद्धि कस्टम सिंथेसिस (ग्राहकों के लिए खास रसायन बनाना) और जेनेरिक दवाओं (सस्ती दवाइयां) की स्थिर बिक्री से हुई। जनवरी 2025 में काकीनाडा यूनिट 3 का पहला चरण शुरू हुआ, जिससे उत्पादन लागत कम होगी और मौजूदा यूनिट्स पर दबाव घटेगा। कंपनी को GLP-1 पेप्टाइड्स (डायबिटीज और वजन घटाने की दवा) और कंट्रास्ट मीडिया (स्कैन में इस्तेमाल होने वाले पदार्थ) में नए अवसर मिल रहे हैं। आगे राजस्व में दो अंकों की वृद्धि की उम्मीद है, लेकिन मुनाफा उत्पाद मिश्रण और नई यूनिट की लागत पर निर्भर करेगा। जोखिमों में अमेरिकी टैरिफ नीति और जेनेरिक दवाओं पर कीमत दबाव शामिल है।

Read Transcript →Custom synthesis contributed 53% of total revenue in Q3, up from 52% in the nine-month period, reflecting strong demand.
Nutraceuticals segment grew steadily, with Q3 revenue of INR 170 crore, supported by new product introductions.
Utilization remains at 80%, with Kakinada freeing up capacity for new projects and regulatory products.
Exports to Europe and US remained stable at 72% of total sales, with overall exports at 87%.
Management targets double-digit revenue growth on a yearly basis, driven by custom synthesis and generics.
The remaining part of Phase I at Kakinada is expected to be operational in about six months.
The company aims for a balanced revenue mix of 50% generics and 50% custom synthesis over time.
Phase-wise production at the 200-acre greenfield Kakinada facility will begin in December 2024, initially focusing on backward integration and regulatory qualifications.
Management expects year-on-year volume increase of 20-30% in contrast media, driven by long-term contracts and new qualifications.
Multiple generic products are advancing towards customer qualifications and regulatory approvals, with revenue contributions expected from 2026.
Total capital expenditure for FY25, including Kakinada, is expected to be around INR 1,600 crores, with INR 1,000 crores remaining to be spent.
Potential changes in US trade policies could impact export competitiveness, though management noted no immediate tariffs on India.
Initial operational expenses at the new Kakinada facility may temporarily pressure margins until full utilization is achieved.
While raw material prices have stabilized, they remain sensitive to Middle East developments and crude oil fluctuations, posing a risk to margins.
The greenfield Unit 3 will take time to achieve regulatory approvals and full utilization, with initial production focused on non-regulatory products.
