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.
