✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Gland Pharma reported consolidated revenue of INR 1,545 crore in Q3 FY24, up 65% YoY, driven by the Cenexi acquisition and strong US base business growth of 17% YoY. EBITDA margin contracted to 23% (vs 31% YoY) due to Cenexi's negative EBITDA of INR 17 crore, impacted by one-time restructuring costs and lower production absorption. Base business EBITDA margin improved to 34% (up 300 bps YoY). PAT declined 17% YoY to INR 192 crore, weighed by higher depreciation from purchase price allocation. US revenue grew 41% YoY, supported by volume growth, new product launches, and Enoxaparin recovery. Cenexi's operational issues persist, with management guiding for EBITDA breakeven in 12-15 months and targeting 10% margins in the medium term. The company expects incremental revenue of EUR 30-40 million from new programs at Cenexi by FY2026. Key risk: Cenexi's operational turnaround may take longer than expected, delaying margin recovery.
