✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Gland Pharma reported consolidated revenue of INR 14,070 million (+16% YoY), driven by 14% growth in the base business and Cenexi contribution. Base business EBITDA margin held at 29%, while consolidated margin fell to 19% due to Cenexi's negative EBITDA. U.S. revenues grew 27% YoY on volume and new launches, but sequentially declined 13% due to milestone income normalization and a low-margin GPO contract. Cenexi revenue was EUR 43 million with negative EBITDA of EUR 3 million; management expects positive EBITDA by Q4 FY25. Biologics CDMO discussions are advancing, including a potential strategic collaboration. Risks include Cenexi's turnaround timeline, U.S. pricing pressure, and execution on biologics investments.
