Moderator: Hello, good evening, and welcome to Lupin Limited Q1FY27 Earnings
Conference Call. Thank you for your participation in the call today. Please note
that all participants' line will be in listen-only mode, and there will be an
opportunity for you to ask questions after the opening remarks. Please also
note that this conference is being recorded. I now hand over the conference

Vinita Gupta: Good afternoon, friends. I'm very pleased to welcome you to our Q1FY27
earnings call. I have with me our MD, Nilesh; and our CFO, Ramesh; and our
Head of Investor Relations, Ravi. We look forward to sharing with you our
highlights for the quarter as well as the outlook for FY27. We are delighted to
announce a record quarter with total revenues from operations and EBITDA
exceeding INR 8,000 crores and INR 2,400 crores, respectively, for the first
time in our history. This quarter also marks a record 16th consecutive quarter
of YoY growth for the company.
While the U.S. has obviously had an exceptional contribution to this
performance, I would like to highlight that the ex-U.S. organic revenue growth
for the company has been a strong 20% plus YoY and a strong double-digit
growth in all our key markets, including India, Other Developed Markets, and
Other Emerging Markets. This geographically diversified business model
combined with our unwavering focus on operational excellence creates a
sustainable foundation for future growth, even as we navigate the increased
competition in some of our key generic products in the U.S. this year.
Turning to individual business segments. Our U.S. business sustained its
positive momentum and delivered another quarter of robust sales
performance. While we benefited from the higher volumes in base portfolio
and growth in products like Tolvaptan, this was offset by increased
competition in products like Mirabegron. For the full year, we expect the U.S.
business to be in the USD 1.1 billion to USD 1.2 billion range, aided by growth
in base business, our injectable launches, and contribution from Pegfilgrastim
offsetting the additional competition in products like Mirabegron and
Tolvaptan during the year.
Going ahead, we remain focused on doubling the share of our complex
products in our U.S. business, led by respiratory and complex injectables, and
augmented by biosimilars. In the next three years, we expect to launch 50
plus products in the U.S. with 10 exclusive first-to-files, five biosimilars, as well
as two to three 505(b)(2)s. We are planning to file more than 15 products this
year, including at least seven in the Respiratory segment. We believe that all
these initiatives should help in the U.S. getting back to its growth trajectory
from FY28 onwards.
Coming to India, our India business has grown 13.9% YoY in the quarter with
the core prescription business growing 15.1%, representing a 1.1x growth
against IPM. Volume growth was strong at 6.1% during the quarter. The
Chronic segment accounts for around 67% of our portfolio, up from around
65% in FY26, and we have set ourselves a target to increase the share to 70%
in the next five years.

Most of our key therapy areas outperformed the respective market growth
with Anti-Diabetes segment and Cardiac segment growing 1.8x and 1.2x the
category growth. I would specifically like to mention Diabetes segment, which
grew at 31.8% YoY, a second consecutive quarter of 20% plus growth, led by
market leadership in Huminsulin® and successful launch of Semaglutide
injection. This segment is poised for continued healthy growth with the
expected launch of vial and oral dosage forms of Semaglutide in the second
half of this fiscal year.
We remain confident that our India formulations business will continue to
outperform IPM by 1.2x to 1.3x, supported by our strong India prescription
sales force of nearly 11,300 people and pipeline of more than 80 new product
launches over the coming years. We have set ourselves a target of novel
proprietary products contributing one third of our India revenues in the next
10-year timeframe. This innovative portfolio for India will come from in-house
development as well as in-licensed products, leveraging our strong
partnership track record, brand building, development, regulatory and clinical
capabilities.
Our Other Developed Markets, Europe, Canada, and Australia, accounted for
14% of our revenues in this quarter, up from 11% in FY26. Sales grew 48% YoY
in the quarter. Our European business continued a strong momentum with
83% growth YoY. We believe that we are under-indexed in Europe and have
set a clear pathway to grow this business with our complex generics,
biosimilars portfolio, as well as specialty acquisitions, such as VISUfarma.
Emerging Markets delivered an impressive 52% YoY growth, led by Brazil,
South Africa, and Philippines. Brazil continued the strong momentum of the
last four quarters, growing 117% YoY in local currency during Q1, driven by
successful commercialization of Dapagliflozin and launch of Empagliflozin. As
mentioned earlier, we are starting to establish a presence in the diabetes
metabolic space in the emerging markets, with Dapagliflozin serving as a
strong start, and the launch of Empagliflozin in Brazil and South Africa, as well
as Semaglutide in South Africa later this year.
Turning to R&D, our spend was 7.4% of sales this quarter, with continued
focus on complex and specialty platforms. We have over 50 active products
in the pipeline with near-term emphasis on respiratory, complex injectables,
and biosimilars. We've also evolved a strong 505(b)(2) pipeline in the last
couple of years, and we'll start seeing product launches this fiscal year and
ramping up in the next two years. We're also strengthening our India
innovation portfolio through both in-house development and in-licensing of
late-stage assets, as I mentioned earlier.
Switching to compliance, we received EIRs for Ankleshwar and Somerset with
VAI status from U.S. FDA for both sites during the quarter. With regards to
Pithampur Unit Il facility, we have submitted our responses and remain on
track with our remediation efforts. We are fully committed to maintaining the
highest standards of quality and compliance across all our sites globally.
