Sun Pharma reported Q3 FY24 consolidated revenue of INR 12,157 crore, up 9.5% YoY, driven by strong specialty sales (up 26.1% to $296M) and India formulation growth of 11.4%. EBITDA margin expanded 140bps to 28.1%, aided by better product mix and lower material costs. Adjusted PAT grew 19.7% to INR 2,594 crore. U.S. specialty continued to perform well, though generic business remained flattish due to Halol/Mohali plant issues. Management highlighted a healthy pipeline, including Nidlegy filing in Europe and Phase II/III starts for MM-II and GL0034 in H2 2024. The Taro merger at $43/share offers strategic benefits. Key risk: ongoing regulatory challenges at Mohali plant may delay generic supply recovery.
सन फार्मा ने तीसरी तिमाही में 12,157 करोड़ रुपये की कमाई की, जो पिछले साल से 9.5% ज़्यादा है। इसकी वजह खास दवाओं की बिक्री (26.1% बढ़कर 296 मिलियन डॉलर) और भारत में दवा बिक्री (11.4% बढ़ोतरी) है। कंपनी का मुनाफा 28.1% बढ़ा, क्योंकि उसने सस्ते कच्चे माल का इस्तेमाल किया और बेहतर उत्पाद बेचे। शुद्ध मुनाफा 19.7% बढ़कर 2,594 करोड़ रुपये हुआ। अमेरिका में खास दवाएं अच्छा कर रही हैं, लेकिन सस्ती दवाओं का कारोबार फैक्ट्री की समस्याओं के कारण सपाट रहा। कंपनी ने यूरोप में नई दवा फाइल करने और 2024 में दो नई दवाओं के परीक्षण शुरू करने की योजना बनाई है। टैरो कंपनी को 43 डॉलर प्रति शेयर पर खरीदने से फायदा होगा। लेकिन मोहाली फैक्ट्री पर नियामकीय चुनौतियां सस्ती दवाओं की आपूर्ति में देरी कर सकती हैं।
