2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Dr. Reddy's Q3 FY26 revenue grew 4.4% YoY to INR 8,727 crore, with base business (ex-lenalidomide) delivering double-digit growth. EBITDA margin of 23.5% (24.8% adjusted for one-time labor code provision) declined 401bps YoY due to lower lenalidomide sales and pricing pressure. PAT fell 14% to INR 1,210 crore. India business surged 19% YoY driven by innovative portfolio, while North America generics declined 16% due to lenalidomide erosion. Semaglutide launch in India on track for March 21, with Canada approval expected by May. Abatacept BLA filed on schedule. Key risk: regulatory delays for biosimilars (Denosumab CRL, Rituximab re-inspection) could push U.S. launches beyond FY27.
