Management Comments :
Sandeep Singh, Managing Director, Alkem said, " Continuing our trend of improved performance, Q2 builds on the momentum gained in Q1 with significant gross margin enhancements backed by lower raw material cost and lower intensity of price erosion in US market and increased operating leverage, resulting in improved EBITDA margins. Domestic growth for the quarter remained subdued due to sporadic monsoon. However, we observed significant traction in the domestic market during the month of September and anticipate continued momentum in the coming quarter. Our international business, both US and Non-US market maintains its robust performance, which was evident in Q1 and continues to flourish. Our biosimilars portfolio is performing impressively, with Enzene’s latest product addition (Ranibizumab), taking the product suite to 7, and witnessing significant traction in the domestic biosimilars market. We are committed to carrying forward the momentum of better operational performance, building on our recent successes."
