2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Dr. Reddy's delivered a strong Q4 FY25 with consolidated revenue of INR 8,506 crore (+20% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 2,475 crore (+32% YoY), driven by the NRT acquisition and broad-based generic growth. EBITDA margin expanded 267 bps YoY to 29.1%, despite a 300 bps gross margin decline from one-off manufacturing costs and lower milestone income. The North America generics business grew 7% YoY to $418M, while Europe surged 142% YoY to EUR 140M, boosted by NRT. Management guided for double-digit revenue growth in FY26 and stable margins, with REVLIMID exclusivity ending in January 2026. Key growth drivers include semaglutide launches in Canada/India in CY2026, biosimilar progress (abatacept filing by end-2025), and continued BD. Risk: potential U.S. tariffs on generics could pressure margins, though management is working with customers to mitigate supply disruptions.
