Gland Pharma reported a strong Q4 FY24 with consolidated revenue of INR 16,375 million (+19% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 3,587 million (+113% YoY), driven by a robust recovery in the base business (revenue +50% YoY, EBITDA margin 37%). The Cenexi acquisition contributed INR 3,637 million revenue but posted negative EBITDA of INR 720 million due to operational disruptions and a EUR 20-25 million order backlog. Management guided for base business growth of 14-15% annually and expects Cenexi to reach high-teen EBITDA margins in 1-2 years via capacity expansion and tech transfers. Key risks include slower-than-expected Cenexi turnaround and potential pricing pressure in the US generics market.
ग्लैंड फार्मा ने चौथी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कंपनी की कुल कमाई 1,637 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 19% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा (EBITDA) 359 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 113% बढ़ा। इसकी वजह मुख्य कारोबार में मजबूत सुधार है, जिसमें कमाई 50% बढ़ी और मुनाफा मार्जिन 37% रहा। Cenexi कंपनी ने 364 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई दी, लेकिन परिचालन समस्याओं के कारण 72 करोड़ रुपये का नुकसान हुआ। प्रबंधन को उम्मीद है कि मुख्य कारोबार हर साल 14-15% बढ़ेगा और Cenexi 1-2 साल में अच्छा मुनाफा देने लगेगा। जोखिमों में Cenexi का धीमा सुधार और अमेरिकी बाजार में कीमतों पर दबाव शामिल है।
