Vinita Gupta: Hello friends, welcome to our Q2 FY27 earnings call.
Joining me here are Nilesh, our Managing Director; Ramesh, our Chief
Financial Officer; and Ravi, our Head of Investor Relations. We are pleased to
share our performance for the second quarter, the progress we are making
on our strategic priorities, and our outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.
We delivered another quarter of steady performance, supported by sustained
momentum across most of our major geographies. Our organic revenue
growth remained in double digits, driven by strong performance in India and
Other Developed Markets. Importantly, this growth reflects the increasing
strength and diversification of our business, with multiple markets
contributing meaningfully to our overall performance. We expect this
momentum to continue into the second half of the year, with organic growth
of around 20% excluding U.S.
On profitability, we delivered EBIDTA margins of around 25% during the
quarter, despite increased investments in R&D and a challenging geopolitical
and operating environment. We remain committed to our FY27 margin
guidance of around 24–25%, while recognizing that margins are likely to
moderate in the coming quarters. This reflects intensifying competition in
some of our key U.S. products, increased investment in our R&D pipeline, and
higher input costs arising from the challenging macroeconomic environment
in the Middle East.
Turning to individual business segments.
Our U.S. business continued to navigate an evolving competitive environment
during the quarter. As anticipated, competition in Tolvaptan intensified with
the entry of two additional generic players. While our base portfolio benefited
from higher volumes and contributions from seasonal products, these gains
were offset by pricing pressures in certain products, particularly Tolvaptan.
We expect competitive intensity in Tolvaptan to increase further, with the
possibility of additional entrants over the coming quarters.
For FY27, we continue to expect U.S. revenues in the range of USD 1.1 billion
to USD 1.2 billion. Growth in our base business, new injectable launches, and
contributions from Pegfilgrastim are expected to help offset the impact of
increasing competition in key products.
More importantly, our mid to long-term plan for the U.S. remains on track.
Our priority is to double the share of complex products in our U.S. portfolio,
with respiratory products, complex injectables, and biosimilars serving as key
growth drivers. We are on track to file more than 15 products during the
current fiscal. Over the next three years, we expect to launch more than 60
Page 2 of 15

products in the U.S., including approximately 25 injectable and respiratory
products, 5 biosimilars, and 2 – 3 505(b)(2) products. This pipeline represents
an important step in reshaping our U.S. business toward higher-complexity
products, creating a more sustainable growth platform over time.
Turning to India, our business delivered 14.7% YoY growth this quarter, with
the core prescription business growing 13.8% aided by volume growth of 6%.
For the first half, our prescription business grew 14.4%, compared with 14.3%
growth in the IPM. Our chronic segment grew 19.5%, ahead of the IPM’s
17.2% growth. Chronic therapies now account for around 66% of our
portfolio, up from around 65% in FY26, and we aim to increase this share to
70% over the next five years.
Most of our key therapy areas outpaced their respective markets. In the first
half, our Anti-Diabetes and Cardiac segments grew at 1.5x and 1.1x their
respective category growth rates. Our Diabetes segment was a particular
highlight, delivering 25% plus YoY growth this quarter— our third consecutive
quarter of 20% plus growth. This performance was led by our market
leadership in Huminsulin® and the successful launch of Semaglutide injection.
The IPM market growth reached a six-quarter high of 14.7% in Q2. We are
well positioned to capitalize on this momentum and remain confident that
our India formulations business will grow at 1.2x to 1.3x the IPM growth rate,
supported by our prescription sales force of nearly 11,400 people and a
pipeline of more than 80 new product launches over the coming years.
Looking further ahead, our target is for novel proprietary products to
contribute one third of our India revenues within the next 10 years. We will
build this portfolio through in-house development and in-licensing, drawing
on our partnership track record and our brand-building, development,
regulatory and clinical capabilities. We were very pleased to get approved for
the first green propellant MDI in India this past week.
Our Other Developed Markets—Europe, Canada, and Australia—delivered
46% YoY sales growth this quarter and accounted for 15% of our revenues,
compared with 11% in FY26 and 14% in Q1FY27. Within this, our European
business sustained strong momentum, with 45% YoY growth.
During the quarter, we entered an exclusive licensing partnership with
Tenpoint Therapeutics to commercialize Yuvezzi ™ in Europe. This once-daily,
dual-agent eye drop for presbyopia advances our ophthalmology portfolio
and builds on our strategy to expand specialty care through innovative
therapies that address significant unmet patient needs.
Europe remains an under-indexed market for us, with a clear pathway for
growth across complex generics, biosimilars, and specialty. We are very
pleased with the strong foundation we are building in Europe on the
Ophthalmology front through the recent acquisition of VISUfarma and the
addition of Yuvezzi ™ in the near future.
R&D remains central to our growth strategy, with investment at 7.9% of sales
this quarter focused on complex and specialty platforms. The tentative

approval of our novel Apixaban Oral Suspension through the 505(b)(2)
pathway during the quarter underscores the strength of our R&D capabilities.
Our pipeline includes more than 55 injectable and respirator
