Synopsis:

GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd. secured an income tax refund of ₹222.23 crore for FY 2022-23. The company reported a 37.8% YoY profit increase to ₹182.3 crore and a 60.1% EBITDA surge, driven by strong brand performance.

GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (GSK Pharma), a leading player in the global healthcare industry, announced on Tuesday, September 3, that it has received an income tax refund of ₹222.23 crore for the assessment year 2022-23. The refund follows an order issued by the Income Tax Department under Section 143(3), which pertains to scrutiny assessments. The news was shared in a regulatory filing with the stock exchanges.

Strong financial performance in Q1 FY 2024

The announcement of the tax refund comes on the heels of a strong financial performance by GSK Pharma in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2024. The company reported a notable 37.8% year-on-year (YoY) increase in net profit, amounting to ₹182.3 crore. This marks a significant rise from the ₹132.3 crore profit reported in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

The company's revenue also showed positive momentum, growing by 7% to ₹814.7 crore, compared to ₹761.7 crore in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal. This growth was supported by robust sales from key brands, including Calpol, Augmentin, and T-Bact, which continued to gain market share.

Impressive EBITDA growth and margin expansion

At the operating level, GSK Pharma's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) surged by 60.1%, reaching ₹230.6 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. This is a substantial increase from the ₹144 crore reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal year. The company's EBITDA margin also improved significantly, standing at 28.3% in the reporting quarter, up from 18.9% in the previous year's corresponding period.

The growth in EBITDA and the expansion of margins highlight the company's operational efficiency and its ability to capitalise on market opportunities.

Key brands and portfolio growth

GSK Pharma's continued success can be attributed to the strong performance of its key brands. Calpol, Augmentin, and T-Bact, among others, contributed to a 10% growth in sales. Additionally, the company's respiratory portfolio, including products like Nucala and Trelegy, achieved an impressive 57% growth, further expanding access to critical treatments for patients.

The receipt of the ₹222.23 crore income tax refund, coupled with the robust financial results for the first quarter of FY 2024, underscores GSK Pharma's strong market position and economic health. The company's focus on expanding its key brands and improving operational efficiency continues to drive its growth trajectory.
