Gland Pharma reported a strong Q2 FY26 with consolidated revenue of INR 14,869 million, up 6% YoY, and EBITDA of INR 3,139 million (21% margin). Base business EBITDA margin improved to 37% (adjusted), driven by favorable product mix and cost initiatives. U.S. revenue grew 8% YoY to INR 8,005 million, supported by new launches (7 molecules) and volume growth. Cenexi revenue rose 21% YoY in INR terms, though EBITDA remained negative due to a planned shutdown; management expects Cenexi to break even in Q3. Key growth drivers include the upcoming launch of dalbavancin, GLP-1 capacity expansion (40M to 140M cartridges), and biologic CDMO ramp-up. Management maintained mid-teens consolidated revenue growth guidance for FY26. Risk: Cenexi turnaround may be delayed if revenue ramp-up falls short of EUR 50 million quarterly target.
ग्लैंड फार्मा ने दूसरी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई 1,486.9 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 6% ज्यादा है। कमाई पर खर्च घटाने के बाद बचा मुनाफा (EBITDA) 313.9 करोड़ रुपये (21% मार्जिन) रहा। अमेरिका में बिक्री 8% बढ़कर 800.5 करोड़ रुपये हुई, जिसमें 7 नई दवाओं की लॉन्चिंग से मदद मिली। यूरोपीय कंपनी सेनेक्सी की कमाई 21% बढ़ी, लेकिन प्लांट बंद होने से घाटा हुआ; उम्मीद है कि अगली तिमाही में यह बराबर आ जाएगी। आने वाले समय में नई दवा डाल्बावैंसिन, GLP-1 क्षमता बढ़ाने और बायोलॉजिक दवा बनाने से कमाई बढ़ेगी। कंपनी ने पूरे साल 15% कमाई बढ़ोतरी का लक्ष्य रखा है। जोखिम: अगर सेनेक्सी की तिमाही कमाई 50 करोड़ यूरो से कम रही तो उसका सुधार देर हो सकता है।
