✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Glenmark's Q3 FY24 consolidated revenue fell 16% YoY to INR 29,096 million, primarily due to a one-time India distribution restructuring that reduced channel inventory. Excluding this, revenue would have grown ~9%. The India business reported primary sales of INR 2,622 million, but secondary sales grew 12%, outperforming the market. North America declined 9% to $91.6 million due to lack of new launches, while Europe grew 29% and ROW 10.8%. Management guided for a significant EBITDA margin improvement in FY25 driven by R&D cost savings of $30-35 million from the IGI alliance, Ryaltris scaling to ~$80 million in sales, and operating leverage. Key risks include execution on the Monroe facility ramp-up and U.S. respiratory launches.
