Gland Pharma's Q2 FY25 consolidated revenue grew 2% YoY to INR 1,406 crore, with base business up 5% to INR 1,066 crore. Consolidated EBITDA margin contracted 200bps to 21%, dragged by Cenexi's negative EBITDA of INR 68.5 crore due to extended summer shutdown for new ampoule line installation. Base business EBITDA margin held steady at 34%. PAT declined 16% YoY to INR 164 crore. U.S. revenue grew 3% YoY, while ROW markets saw delays in Saudi Arabia offtake. Management expects low double-digit full-year revenue growth, driven by new product launches and Saudi recovery. Cenexi targets positive EBITDA by Q4 FY25 and breakeven next fiscal year. A biologics CDMO partnership with Dr. Reddy's was signed, with initial benefits expected from Q1 FY26. Risk: Cenexi's turnaround may be delayed if new capacity ramp-up or commercial production slips.
ग्लैंड फार्मा की दूसरी तिमाही (जुलाई-सितंबर 2024) में कुल कमाई 2% बढ़कर ₹1,406 करोड़ हुई। मुख्य कारोबार (Cenexi को छोड़कर) में 5% की बढ़ोतरी से ₹1,066 करोड़ आया। मुनाफा मार्जिन (EBITDA) 21% रहा, जो पिछले साल से 2% कम है। इसकी वजह Cenexi का ₹68.5 करोड़ का घाटा है, क्योंकि नई एम्प्यूल लाइन लगाने के लिए गर्मियों में लंबी छुट्टी ली गई। मुख्य कारोबार का मार्जिन 34% स्थिर रहा। शुद्ध मुनाफा (PAT) 16% घटकर ₹164 करोड़ रहा। अमेरिका में कमाई 3% बढ़ी, लेकिन सऊदी अरब में ऑर्डर में देरी हुई। कंपनी को पूरे साल कम दो अंकों की बढ़ोतरी की उम्मीद है, नए उत्पादों और सऊदी सुधार से। Cenexi मार्च 2025 तक लाभ में आने का लक्ष्य है। डॉ. रेड्डीज के साथ जैविक दवाओं का साझेदारी समझौता हुआ, जिसका फायदा अप्रैल 2025 से मिलेगा। जोखिम: अगर Cenexi का नया उत्पादन देर से शुरू हुआ तो घाटा बढ़ सकता है।
