Commenting on the results, Dr Vikas Gupta, CEO, Alkem said, "Continuing our trend of improved performance, Q3 builds on the momentum gained in H1 with significant gross margin enhancements backed by lower raw material cost and lower intensity of price erosion in US market resulting in improved EBITDA margins. Our domestic business has outperformed IPM growth by 20bps. Our international business has delivered steady growth, although US business de-grew on the back of the high base of last year led by flu season. In non-US business across geographies, we achieved very healthy growth. Our biosimilars business is performing impressively and witnessing significant traction in the domestic biosimilars market with Enzene’s portfolio of 7 products. We are committed to carrying forward the momentum of better operational performance, building on our recent successes."
