US FDA delays on biosimilar approvals

Dr. Reddy's Q2 FY26 revenue grew 9.8% YoY to INR 8,805 crore, driven by broad-based growth across markets and the acquired NRT business, partially offset by lower Revlimid sales and US price erosion. EBITDA margin contracted 174 bps YoY to 26.7% due to product mix and one-time provisions. PAT rose 14% YoY to INR 1,437 crore, aided by lower tax rate. Management reiterated confidence in returning to 25%+ EBITDA margins over two years, supported by cost initiatives and pipeline assets like semaglutide and abatacept. Key risks include US FDA delays on biosimilar approvals and competitive pricing in Canada for semaglutide.
डॉ. रेड्डी की दूसरी तिमाही में कमाई पिछले साल से 9.8% बढ़कर 8,805 करोड़ रुपये हो गई। यह बढ़ोतरी सभी बाजारों में अच्छी बिक्री और नए खरीदे गए NRT व्यवसाय से हुई, लेकिन Revlimid की कम बिक्री और अमेरिका में दवाओं के दाम गिरने से कुछ असर पड़ा। कंपनी का मुनाफा (PAT) 14% बढ़कर 1,437 करोड़ रुपये हो गया, क्योंकि टैक्स कम लगा। हालांकि, कंपनी की कमाई पर खर्च का अनुपात (EBITDA मार्जिन) 26.7% रहा, जो पिछले साल से 1.74% कम है। इसकी वजह उत्पादों का मिश्रण और एक बार का खर्च था। कंपनी का कहना है कि वह अगले दो साल में 25% से अधिक मार्जिन पर लौट आएगी, जिसके लिए लागत कम करने और नई दवाओं (जैसे semaglutide और abatacept) पर ध्यान दिया जा रहा है। जोखिमों में अमेरिकी FDA की देरी और कनाडा में semaglutide की कीमत प्रतिस्पर्धा शामिल है।
