Management Comments :
Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Satyanarayana Chava stated “In the First Half of 2023 Laurus Lab`s delivered healthy results. It reflect our efforts towards strengthening and diversifying our business by increasing revenues from CDMO and Non ARV API and Formulations. ARV FDF performance was very weak, impacted by lower volumes and adverse pricing but we expect good reversal in H2. We are also pleased to update on R&D progress where we have developed a Novel Delivery for Pediatric HIV treatment and expect to file NDA shortly. This should significantly enhance our market position. Our capital allocation priorities remain unchanged. We will continue to prioritize investments in our pipeline and business within Non-ARVs to realize the value of the several mid and long-term opportunities in front of us. Looking forward to Second Half 2023, we expect to deliver a strong underlying Revenue growth and stable EBITDA margins of ~30% in FY2023.”

V V Ravi Kumar, ED & Chief Financial Officer said; “In Q2 FY23, Laurus Lab has continued its strong performance with 31% revenue growth to ? 1,576 crs, driven by accelerated demand in our CDMO-Synthesis business and off-take in API business. EBITDA came at ? 449 crs with EBITDA margins of ~29% as favourable mix partially mitigating pricing impact in ARV business and negative operating leverage. During H1 FY23, our overall operational performance was healthy; Revenues are up 26% to ? 3,115 crs and EBITDA grew by 21%. Our ROCE on annualised basis stood healthy ~28% with comfortable Balance sheet position.
