Gland Pharma reported consolidated revenue of INR 1,373.4 crore in Q2 FY24, up 32% YoY, driven by Cenexi acquisition and US market recovery. EBITDA grew 8% YoY to INR 320.5 crore, but margin contracted to 23% (down 500 bps YoY) due to Cenexi's seasonal shutdown and fixed costs. PAT fell 20% YoY to INR 194.1 crore. Base business EBITDA margin improved to 34% (vs 28% YoY) on stable US pricing and volume growth. Cenexi contributed INR 358.8 crore revenue (2-month) with negative EBITDA. Management guided for steady sequential growth, base EBITDA margins of 30-32%, and EUR 60 million investment in Cenexi over 18 months. Risk: Cenexi's annual summer shutdown may continue to distort quarterly results.
