Questions and answers
a Laboratories Limited · 5 Earnings Conference Call”
As far as Ipc overall gener worth around quarter, very time and all p crores or INR So it has not think, in last shipped in the 7 more produc So I think ov INR100 crore for U.S. busin Ipca Labo d growth of around 18% from INR1,785 crores to around INR2, improvement in EBITDA margin from INR87 crores to almos n percentage term from 4.87% to around 12.55%. ok at last 2 quarters, EBITDA margin, it was in the range of aro improvement in business as well as improvement in operationa the overall better EBITDA margins for Unichem. e for next financial year -- current financial year is that we'll o 10% in the FY '25 and we expect our EBITDA margins to fu onsolidated basis for the -- from 18.94% to around 20% for the the broad numbers, now I'll request participants to ask for ques very much.
First question is from the line of Surya Nar l.
Please go ahead. question about the U.S. business potential, see -- and U.S. busin o now since we have integrated Unichem fully, so what is the ve reported in the consolidated number for that market?
And als ow since it is integrated, part of our U.S. business is getting rou terms of the product -- new product introductions and the inc ld have added.
So if you can give some sense that, okay, what at we have added this year because of our own product?
And w that we have seen for the group as a whole?
And what is ou ing for FY '26, sir? ca is concerned, U.S. has not made any significant overall c ic business, I think we have stand-alone basis, I think we ha d INR65 crores, but most of the shipment has happen in the small shipment has happened in the earlier quarters.
So over put together, I think on a consolidated basis, it is just contributi R23 crores kind of business. contributed a significant business in the current financial yea financial year, we have shipped around the 3 products and fo e month of March.
And I think in current year, we will be shipp cts. verall, the current year, I think overall U.S. business should es for us in the current financial year.
That is what is our internal ness for final sales in U.S. market.
And as far as Unichem is con oratories Limited
May 30, 2025 · IT KUMAR JAIN– MANAGING DIRECT
211 crores overall st around INR265 ound 14% to 16%. al efficiencies, we continue to grow urther improve by e current financial tions. rayan Patra from ness that we would U.S. revenue that so, if you can give uted through them cremental business is the incremental what is the overall ur outlook that we ontribution to the ave shipped goods e third and fourth rall, and as transit ing around INR22 ar.
We have just, I ourth product was ping almost around contribute around l budgets are there ncerned, Unichem had achieved previous finan So they have Bayshore, wh around 22% g the financial including oth delivered.
a Laboratories Limited · 5 Earnings Conference Call”
Sure, sir.
Sir, integrated, ou acquisition its by -- so -- w witnessing.
So on a consolida in terms of AN
I think Ipca h month of Apr products.
And globally for I development currently arou And this also financial year development extensions an going on.
And I think th done is, what independently the senior m supervising th
Okay.
Just las our export wa period that ob impurity issue And this year think about it in the South A about your ov Ipca Labo d a U.S. business of around INR1,317 crores as against IN ncial year. delivered overall growth of around 22%, but this also include hich was earlier group with Ipca and now it is grouped with U growth they have delivered.
And overall, Unichem has delivered year, a growth of almost around 19% in the overall turno her income, it's around 18% overall -- is the overall grow , just an extended point on the U.S. business itself.
So now ur R&D also should have seen some kind of integration becau self that you have been talking about rationalizing the consolid what is the kind of -- because there is no greater filing mome o going ahead, what would be your spend for the group as a who ated level basis?
And what R&D priorities that you would be ha NDAs in terms of APIs. has already started filing.
I think first filing has been done in th ril in current year.
And I think in current year, we should file alm d overall, we have capacity to develop almost around 20 pr India, ROW and all these other developed markets.
So overall, will happen.
As far as R&D expenditures are concerned, we are und 3.25% as far as the Ipca concerned.
And the stand-alone I'm includes the biotech, and this expenditure is likely to be around r.
And as far as Unichem is concerned, their business dev cycle because initially, their focus was shifted towards overal nd filings in the various markets of their existing products.
S hey will also be filing around 3 to 4 products in current year. tever duplications was there, that has been avoided.
But rest, y doing their work and Ipca team is independent.
So nobody fr management is, let's say, our operating management of R&D he Unichem R&D.
Unichem R&D is completely independent. st 1 question from my side, sir.
So in fact, the export growth ge as considered to be the growth engine for Ipca some time back bviously we have seen -- they have faced challenges because e in a couple of products and initiated by the Europe. r, FY '25 numbers are also kind of similarly weak, so like how ?
The -- and you also mentioned about a couple of this thing co African market.
Is it because of the cost issue or so could you verall export growth plans because that used to be the kind of a r oratories Limited

NR1,077 crores in es the business of Unichem now.
So d a -- for whole of over.
And I think wth Unichem has since Unichem is use at the time of dated R&D spend entum that we are ole or for let's say, aving going ahead he -- I think, in the most around 6 to 7 roducts, so which , that's the kind of e at almost around m talking. d 4% in the current velopment, overall ll let's say, market So that journey is So what we have Unichem team is om Ipca, let's say, D of Ipca is not enerally is been -- .
But in the recent e of, let's say, the should one really ontract getting lost u give some sense real driver for us.

My question i markets like U And for these 10% to 11%, in both generi
As far as the 10%.
CIS, wh And for the c business.
Apa business of R West Africa h grown by 24% small market As far as the grown by 10% around INR65 there is a deg INR268 crore Canada, there INR113 crore products, ther Ipca Labo , overall export formulation business will continue to have a for us.
And we are now the working on to say, expediting our fi and already as I talked that we should be able to do almost aro products in a year.
So that is what is currently happening an urope market and all.
Now a number of filings are all increasing e guidance -- growth guidance that you have mentioned 10%.
So any kind of synergy benefit of acquisition or the cross-selling be ized growth possibly which we just maintained. s portfolio, I think, let's say, filings have started happening, b ore time.
So till the time those approvals comes, we are not incl o as and when those approvals will come, we will start adding to our basket, yes.
So that is taking some time. out non-U.S. market, sir? n-U.S market.
Yes. n is from the line of Damayanti Kerai from HSBC. is again on export market.
So if you can talk a bit more about p U.S., Australia and New Zealand, et cetera, as well as in some e markets, specifically the bigger one, like on an overall basi but if you can also talk like how should we look at growth in th ics and branded parts. branded formulation business is concerned, we have grown th hich is the large branded promotional market, the growth is mu current financial year, we are guiding a growth of around 10 art from CIS market, all other markets have grown well in the OW market. has grown by 34%.
Latin America has grown by 17%.
And S %.
Only in case of Middle East, Africa, there is a degrowth of contributing around INR70 crores. generic business is concerned, Europe has grown by 12% -- %.
And U.S. is a new market.
Last year, there was no sale thi 5 crores.
Australia and New Zealand, there is some inventory r growth of around 11% from INR301 crores, the market has com es. e is hardly any growth, INR116 crores was last year.
This y es.
And South Africa, Mr. Jain has already said, because of los re is a degrowth of around 65%.
So overall, generic business is f oratories Limited
May 30, 2025 · IT KUMAR JAIN– MANAGING DIRECT
growth of around ilings I think R&D ound development d I think the U.S. g now. o that is in no way enefit or anything. but approvals will luding them in our those products to erformance in key e branded market. is, you mentioned hese bigger market his year by around uted at around 2%.
0% from the CIS e branded generic Southeast Asia has about 21%.
It is a sorry, Europe has is year, the sale is rationalization.

I guess, the d Ipca Labo s year also INR981 crores, whereas institutional business from I o around INR355 crores, a growth of around 33%. institutional business, overall generic business there is a growth ess there is a growth of 8%.
So 10% is promotional market, an stitutional business, 7%.
So overall, generic business, there re is a growth of about 10%. st a question, CIS, like why we saw a 2% growth?
What has hap ecause of this currency fluctuation because dollar versus ruble it has come down to INR79.
So we feel this year, the growth wil And then my second question is... there is a volume growth in the market.
Value growth is only 2 tuation. umes were healthy, but because of this currency fluctuation on a Yes, yes. helpful.
My second question is if you can update on some of th was working on, so some new plants, et cetera, where work has o.
So if you can update on those. manufacturing -- new manufacturing greenfield plant will start t inancial year, that include monoclonal antibody facility, which Madhya Pradesh.
So one intermediate API manufacturing fac Nagpur. mulation facility for domestic market is coming up at Dewas.
S g facilities that are coming up in India, and 1 more greenfie ng set up by Pisgah which is our step-down subsidiary in North lso start trial production in the current financial year.
It will be i ants, they will start... ion will start in the current financial year. en scale up should be more visible in coming years, right?
So th FY '27 and '28 onwards, you will see some scale up in the busin my last question is on Unichem, although like margins But when do we see it moving closer to the consolidated averag deal, there was talk about cross-market selling, et cetera.

Apart from ro level.
I told yo in the current Ipca Labo also procurement part, a lot of synergies has been achieved, but rs for the Unichem portfolio. ever guidance we gave at the time of acquisition of Unichem ress.
Since it is a regulated business, everywhere, there are issue ion, registration, all those things are going on.
The benefit of a ke at the time of acquisition, hopefully, we'll start yielding som cial year onwards. onwards, we should be seeing some more... start seeing the benefit. talking around [INR300 crores kind of 24:07] EBITDA margin on.
And I think we already achieved around INR264 crores ov ut, let's say, not a single API of Ipca is qualified as still in the k in progress.
And not a single product of Unichem has been all those synergies are yet to -- yet to be.
But still, let's say, the sly keep on improving. nd as some of these factors start delivering, as you mentioned should be seeing a better pickup in the margins? n is from the line of Chintan Doshi, an individual investor. t of activities are going at the Pithampur facility that has belonge ght?
So as you already mentioned... acility. n you give us a light like are we -- like it is a start -- trial prod it is like it is going to contribute from this year onwards?
Or w will be going to contribute next year onwards? me next financial year onwards.
This year, trial production will only in the next financial year. n is from the line of Shiva from Purnartha Investment Advisors. question is with respect to the capex.

In this financial year, that is FY '26. similar one, you had something in Pithampur that is the same? me one, which we'll start trial production in the current financial you've given the overall guidance of 8% to 10% and EBITDA Unichem and the stand-alone breakup?
Like if you could just th stand-alone level, how do you look at the growth and the m rrently around INR2,000 crores annual sales and around 14% whatever guidance we gave at the time of acquisition of Uniche before our guidance.
Hopefully, current year also, this shou rgin by about 1% and about 8% to 10% growth in the top line. -- the synergy of our acquisition of Unichem, their products w e they are not present as of now, Australia and New Zealand, Eu t benefit will come perhaps a year after next year.
So dossiers a tered, then we will slowly start marketing their product.
And as of now that the Bayshore is only INR22 crores in Unic crores that they... hore is about INR150 crores, you could say top line.
Unichem a r. aid we had only INR22 crores of sales in U.S. s Ipca.
So we also post our -- yes, yes, facility clearance, we star ulation through Unichem in the U.S. So from our side... o use Bayshore's... don't manufacture anything for Bayshore.
Bayshore is acquiring s, including from Bangladesh and all.

Sir, you have, over 4 lakhs.
See, now the man producti normal circu practitioners much per man where volume productivity.
Ipca Labo exact clarity in that.
Having said this, we are hoping we business in the current financial year also.
That is FY '26.
This y e a year before our injectable line was undergoing some mode he sales were less in FY '24.
That is why you feel current ye gher in the institutional business.
From that level also, we see that business maybe around 8% to 10%. how do you look at the API things sizes wise?
Are there an how do you look at your API, volume and the price. and pricing was at peak during COVID time.
From that time o wnward trend in the API pricing.
So even though we have imp what we sold in -- during COVID time, you don't see that in the ntinuously coming down.
But now there is a stability slowly, w oving from this level.
So in the current financial year... growth will be the top line growth because there will be stability ct.
Yes.
So FY '26, you will see volume growth as well as pric API business. you looking at it after like in the second half onwards, it will b ou look gradually... g some picking up in the market in the fourth quarter itself. he domestic one.
So consistently, we've been doing -- we've bee e've done quite good in the domestic arena.
So you feel that wil nning market share in [inaudible 0:32:28] and how are you seei years, we will beat the market growth, and we should grow 1.5 is our -- historically, we have done.
And going forward 3, 4 n is from the line of Kunal Randeria from Axis Capital. , I think, around 7,000 marketing reps in India.
So which means So with your current portfolio, what do you think will be the op business is growing around 12%.
If we don't add any PSR in th ivity also increased by 12%.
But having said that, every yea mstances, 400 to 500 people just to take care of increase and all.
So that trend will continue.
So even though value-w n productivity because of our nature of products, what we mar es are very high, value is very low.

Was there any one-off in the reason for... majorly because of the product mix change. , and any specific therapy that we shift -- tilted towards or... ng like that, depending on market situation, market demand, m happen in the therapies some therapies, some products give bett slightly lower margin.
So majorly, the impact is because of that ything in this. h quarter, the contract manufacturing has gone up from INR58 ere, the margins are lower yes because material cost is higher d other costs involved.
And on the guidance, you give 1 year guidance of about 10% re ment in EBIT margin.
