Commenting on the results, Srinivas Sadu, MD & CEO of Gland Pharma, said, “With strong results in the third quarter, we continued our positive momentum for the fiscal year. Our consolidated Q3 FY24 reported sales of Rs 15,452 million, reflecting a quarter-on-quarter increase of 13% and a YoY increase of 65%. We achieved a consolidated EBITDA of Rs 3,557 million and a consolidated net profit of Rs 1,919 million. In the ex-Cenexi base business, we are happy to keep up with the growth aspirations, and the performance has been encouraging with the introduction of new products and improved volumes of the current basket.
In the Cenexi business, we reported a negative EBITDA of Rs 170 million, largely due to one-off expenses, which, if adjusted, would have resulted in a break-even at the operational level. Our post-merger integration review is now mostly complete, and we have identified areas where Cenexi would need investments and significant improvements. Our partner order book is healthy, and we have significant opportunities through the signed contracts to play out long-term growth. However, in the near term, we continue to face issues with operational performance, leading us to rebalance our capacity and shift certain products to different lines, which will take time due to regulatory processes. We target realizing our acquisition thesis over the next 12–15 months.
Overall, we are confident that we will end FY24 on a high note and continue to be excited about the opportunities ahead of us.”
