Management Comments :
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson, Biocon and Biocon Biologics said, “FY23 has been a transformational year led by the acquisition of our partnered biosimilars business from Viatris, which has significantly contributed to Biocon’s robust consolidated financials. Revenues grew 38% to Rs 11,550 crore, EBITDA was at Rs 2,888 Crore, reporting a 32% growth. Revenue growth was led by Biosimilars at 61%, Research Services at 23% and Generics at 13%. R&D Investments have nearly doubled to Rs 1,119 crore, as we seek to drive future growth. “We ended FY23 with a strong Q4 performance where Revenues grew by 59% to Rs 3,929 crore and EBITDA by 75% to Rs 1,152 crore. Biosimilars continue to be the largest business segment for Biocon, with revenues of Rs 2,102 crore, a growth of 114%, exiting the year on a USD 1 billion revenue trajectory.”

Siddharth Mittal, CEO & Managing Director said, “The Generics business performance in FY23 was in line with our expectations, delivering healthy year-on-year revenue growth that was driven by immunosuppressants, specialty APIs, and a ramp[1]

  • up of some of our recently launched generic formulation products. Profitability for the year was muted, mainly on account of pricing pressure in our key markets, as well as increased input costs, that was partially mitigated by cost improvement initiatives. “We continue to launch new products in the U.S., while gaining market share for existing products by securing new contracts. Our regional expansion strategy saw good progress during the fiscal as we entered into partnerships with Zentiva in Europe and Farmanguinhos in Brazil. “In the quarters ahead, we will continue to focus on operationalizing ongoing capex projects, advancing our product pipeline and expanding our commercial footprint.”

    Shreehas Tambe, CEO & Managing Director, said “This has been a landmark year for Biocon Biologics with the closure of our transformational acquisition of Viatris’ global biosimilars business. This acquisition coupled with strong growth in our underlying business and over 35 new launches has translated to a significant step-up in revenues and expanded global reach. “As we look ahead, we will be integrating the acquired business in a phased manner with over 70 Emerging Markets transitioning to Biocon Biologics shortly followed by the U.S. and EU thereafter. FY24 will also see several important new launches, a key driver of growth. We are confident that our strong business fundamentals, fully integrated global capabilities, and rich pipeline will allow us to capitalize on the rapidly expanding global biosimilars opportunity, drive profitable growth and unlock value for all stakeholders.”

    Jonathan Hunt, CEO & Managing Director, said “Strong growth in the fourth quarter, added to a positive performance over the course of the year, delivered full-year results ahead of Syngene`s upgraded guidance. All business divisions delivered growth through the year, triggering investment in additional laboratory capacity and new facilities at our campuses in Bengaluru and Hyderabad, as well as creating over 1,000 new jobs. “Manufacturing Services had a particularly strong year, led by our commercial-scale biologics manufacturing business which had a busy fourth quarter supporting our partnership with Zoetis, following successful regulatory inspections by the US, European and UK regulatory authorities.”
