On the operating front, the earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) also fell 3% YoY to ₹ 348 crore from ₹ 359 crore. The EBITDA margin saw a small uptick to 24% in the March 2024 quarter from 23% in the year-ago period.
On a sequential basis, Gland Pharma's revenue rose 3% while PAT was higher by 9%.
Shyamakant Giri, Chief Executive Officer of Gland Pharma, commenting on the results, said, 'In Q4 FY25, our consolidated revenue reached INR 14,249 million, with a healthy EBITDA margin of 24%. On the base business, the EBITDA margin expanded to 38%, driven by volume traction in our U.S. portfolio and high-margin new product launches. Cenexi posted modest sequential improvement in revenue and gross margin, and we remain firmly committed to its turnaround.'
