PAT surged 50% YoY to INR 216 crore. The standout was Cenexi reaching EBITDA break-even (EUR 0.9 million) after several quarters of losses, aided by volume recovery and cost actions. Base business EBITDA margin improved to 35% (vs 29% YoY). U.S. revenue was flat due to Enoxaparin timing, but ex that grew 11%. Management reiterated mid-teen overall growth guidance, backed by upcoming launches of dalbavancin and CMS dry powder. GLP-1 cartridge capacity expansion to 140 million units by March 2026 is on track, with 20 million units expected to commercialize in FY27. Key risk: Cenexi's Q2 may dip due to summer shutdown, delaying margin ramp-up.

NEW
20 million GLP-1 units commercialization in FY27

Management expects to commercialize around 20 million pens/cartridges in FY27, primarily for RoW markets.

UPDATED
Cenexi positive EBITDA by Q3 FY26

Management expects Cenexi to deliver positive EBITDA in Q3 FY26, with Q2 being lower due to summer shutdown.

UPDATED
Mid-teen overall revenue growth for FY26

Management reiterated guidance for mid-teen consolidated revenue growth for the full year, driven by U.S. launches and Cenexi recovery.

UPDATED
GLP-1 cartridge capacity expansion to 140M by Mar'26

The new 100 million cartridge line will be ready for commercialization by March 2026, adding to the existing 40 million capacity.

DROPPED
Biologics revenue of INR 100 crore in FY26

The biologics segment, including the Dr. Reddy's collaboration, is expected to contribute approximately INR 100 crore in revenue in FY26.

NEW RISK
Cenexi Q2 dip due to summer shutdown

Management acknowledged that Q2 FY26 will see lower EBITDA at Cenexi due to a one-month thermal shutdown, potentially delaying the turnaround trajectory.

NEW RISK
U.S. tariff uncertainty on pharmaceuticals

An analyst raised concerns about potential U.S. tariffs under the Trump administration. Management noted no tariffs on pharma yet but acknowledged uncertainty and said they would pass on costs to partners.

NEW RISK
Enoxaparin revenue volatility

U.S. revenue was flat due to timing of Enoxaparin supplies, a large product. Management expects annual volumes to be intact but quarterly volatility may persist.

NEW RISK
GLP-1 capacity utilization ramp-up slower than expected

Management indicated that the new 100 million cartridge line will not see significant utilization until FY29-30, as most markets open later. Near-term revenue contribution may be limited.

RISK GONE
Cenexi turnaround execution risk

Cenexi's performance has been below expectations, with losses persisting due to remediation activities and equipment breakdowns. Achieving positive EBITDA by Q3 FY26 is uncertain.

RISK GONE
U.S. tariff impact on generics

The U.S. administration's reciprocal tariffs create uncertainty for Indian pharma companies. While management expects minimal impact on generics, the situation remains fluid.

RISK GONE
ROW market tender losses

The ROW segment saw a 14% revenue decline in Q4 due to tender misses and softer offtake. Recovery depends on re-engaging local partners and executing a non-Enoxa strategy.

RISK GONE
Cenexi capital allocation concerns

Analysts questioned the return on invested capital for Cenexi, given the high acquisition cost and additional capex. Management's target of 18% EBITDA on $300M revenue may still yield suboptimal ROCE.
