Glenmark's Q2 FY24 consolidated revenue grew 6.3% YoY to INR 3,588 crore, driven by strong performance in Europe (+58.4%) and ROW (+19%), while India grew only 2.8% due to acute segment slowdown and US declined 1.9% due to supply disruptions. EBITDA margin (ex-forex) was 15.7%, impacted by remediation costs and lower US/India sales. Management guided for core EBITDA margins to reach ~19% by FY25, aided by 2% improvement from lower R&D spend and operating leverage in Europe/LatAm. The GLS divestment (75% stake to Nirma) is expected to close in Q3, significantly improving PAT margins. Key risks include US business uncertainty, Monroe facility reinspection timeline, and pricing erosion in the US generics market.
