Management Comments :

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson, Biocon and Biocon Biologics said “We have had a strong start to the year. At a consolidated level, y-o-y revenues grew 23% backed by robust growth in both Biosimilars (29%) and Generics (19%). Core EBITDA grew 25% and margin improved to 31% compared to 30% in Q1FY22. and Net Profit grew 71% to Rs 144 Crore. Our financial performance this quarter includes the impact of annual increments in personnel costs as well as increased input and freight costs, pursuant to pandemic and geopolitical disruptions of global supply chains. R&D investments increased significantly by Rs 87 Crore this quarter reflecting pipeline progression to deliver future growth. All our three businesses are poised for the next phase of strong and sustainable growth which has been challenged during the two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Siddharth Mittal, CEO & Managing Director, Biocon said “The strong year-on-year growth of the segment was driven by both our API and Formulations businesses, on a lower base in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal, which was impacted by COVID-related operational and supply chain challenges. “Key new products launched in previous quarters continue to perform well. Our base business continued to encounter pricing pressure and rising input costs. Our commitment to bring affordable medicines to patients was reinforced with the launch of Mycophenolic Acid delayed release tablets, our vertically integrated formulation, for prophylaxis of organ rejection in adult patients who received kidney transplants. “During the quarter, we undertook planned capacity expansions that required temporary manufacturing stoppages. These expansions will augment growth in the second half of this fiscal. “Looking ahead, we will continue to invest in strengthening our product pipeline, optimizing cost structures and operationalizing our capacity enhancement projects.”

Dr Arun Chandavarkar, Managing Director, Biocon Biologics said “Biocon Biologics reported a year-on-year growth of 29% for Q1FY23 with revenues at Rs 977 Crore. Core EBITDA at Rs 361 Crore was up 33%, representing healthy margins of 37%. The strong performance was driven by sales of Glargine in the US, and key biosimilars in emerging markets. “Initiation of global clinical trials for two monoclonal antibodies and advancement of our other pipeline assets led to a 120% increase in our R&D investments this quarter. Whilst this impacts EBITDA in the near term, such investments will create a strong portfolio to secure our future growth. “Our strategic alliance with Serum Institute Life Sciences for vaccines and the acquisition of Viatris’ global biosimilars business are on track for closure in the second half of this calendar year.”

Jonathan Hunt, CEO & Managing Director, Syngene said "The first quarter results were in line with our expectations and reflect strong underlying performance of Syngene across all business divisions. The contribution from the Development and Manufacturing Services divisions drove the growth momentum against a low base in the previous year. The Dedicated Centers and Discovery Services divisions delivered continued growth. The decline in profit in the quarter compared to the same period last year was as expected given the strong sales of Remdesivir last year when India was in the midst of the second wave of the pandemic. No sales of Remdesivir were recorded in the first quarter this year.”
