Improvement in the gross margin, along with a decrease in employee cost and other expenses by ~190bp (as % of sales) each, led to overall margin improvement.

  • Strong growth in the US driven by key launches: US business grew ~79% YoY to INR15.8b, led by Lialda/Tamiflu sales. Although Lialda sales are expected to decline due to new expected competition from Teva, the sales momentum should remain strong led by ramp-up of Tamiflu suspension and other key launches (such as Asacol HD, Toprol XL and Prevacid ODT). India business grew 16% YoY (~19% on a like-to-like basis). CDH expects domestic business to continue growing in double-digits.
