Scaling Heights in Every Quarter

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, a Pharma company with a patient-centric view, has a purposeful operational strategy that has product innovation at its heart. By leveraging its capabilities in R&D areas, the Company is using digital technology to generate affordability to patients and deliver on promises to its global clients. Here are some vital insights into the Company’s business that have led to positive figures in Q4:

  • The reported YoY Revenue growth was predominantly driven by growth in global generics Revenues in North America and Emerging Markets. Contrastingly, the QoQ decline was mainly due to lower global generics Revenues in India, North America, and Emerging Markets.
  • Regarding the Indian business, the Company has launched three fresh brands, taking the FY2023-24 to a total of 13 brands launched. 
  • The decline in growth in the Indian market was mainly due to lower volumes from base businesses. 
  • Gross Margin witnessed an increase of 140 bps in the quarter, on account of improvement in product mix and productivity cost savings. On a QoQ sequential basis, growth was also visible, primarily due to favourable product mix.
  • The Board has recommended a dividend of ₹40 per equity share of face value ₹5 each (800% of face value) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
