Management commentary: Umang Vohra MD and Global CEO, Cipla Ltd 

I am pleased to see the strong launch and commercial momentum across our core markets during the quarter. Our portfolio execution in branded markets of India & South Africa and strong respiratory traction driving our US generic franchise to a multi-quarter high quarter were key drivers. The unlocking of our first 505(b)(2) peptide asset, lanreotide injection is an important step in strengthening our complex generics engine, inching up our US footprint. Our EBITDA margins for the quarter came in at 22.7% and given the YTD traction, we are well placed to close the year in-line with our guidance of 22%. We continue our efforts to improve patient access for therapies including covid products and ensuring adequate supply across all our markets. 

Concalll Takeaways: 

Covid portfolio declined 10% YoY and 17% QoQ. Core business except Covid grew 16% YoY.

Expects significant momentum in US business from H2FY23 onwards on the back of possible approvals and launches of gRevlimid, gAdvair and gAbraxane besides momentum gains from Albuterol portfolio

Q3FY22 break-up: South Africa Private: US$60 million, South Africa Tender: US$23 million and Others: US$36 million
