Revenue Analysis
Global Generics (GG)
Revenues from GG segment at Rs. 44.3 billion:
 Year-on-year growth of 8% was driven by new product launches across most of our businesses and
divestment of a few non-core brands in India, partly offset by price erosion in our generic markets,
and higher base due to covid product sales in previous year.
 Sequential decline of 4% was due to sales decline in North America (incremental competition on key
products and price erosion) and Emerging Markets (normalization of channel inventory in Russia).
This was partly offset by new product launches.
North America
Revenues from North America at Rs. 17.8 billion:
 Year-on-year growth of 2%, driven by launch of new products and favorable forex rates, which was
offset by price erosion in some of our key molecules.
 Sequential decline of 11% was primarily on account of price erosion and decline in volumes for few
products due to incremental competition.
 During this quarter, we launched 7 new products. This includes launch of Ketorolac, OTC Nicotine
Lozenges Original, Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate, Pemetrexed Injection, Posaconazole Tabs
and Sorafenib in the US and Pemetrexed Inj. in Canada.
 We filed three ANDAs during the quarter. As of 30 th June 2022, cumulatively 86 generic filings are
pending for approval with the USFDA (83 ANDAs and 3 NDAs under 505(b)(2) route). Out of these

Europe
Revenues from Europe at Rs. 4.1 billion:
 Year-on-year growth of 4%, driven by launch of new products and scale up of base business, which
was partly offset by price erosion in some molecules and adverse forex rates during the quarter.
 Sequential decline of 7% was primarily on account of price erosion and adverse forex rates, which
was partly offset by volume traction in base business.
India
Revenues from India at Rs. 13.3 billion:
 Year-on-year growth of 26% was driven by divestment of a few non-core brands, revenue
contribution from the products acquired / in-licensed from Novartis, growth in base business and
new products contribution. The growth was partially offset due to covid product sales in Q1 FY22
which was not there in the current quarter.

 Sequential growth of 38% was primarily driven by divestment of a few non-core brands, revenue
contribution from the products acquired / in-licensed from Novartis, new products contribution
and growth in base business.
 We launched five new products during the quarter.
Emerging Markets
Revenues from Emerging Markets at Rs. 9.0 billion. Year-on-year decline of 1% and sequential decline of
25%:
 Revenues for Russia at Rs. 3.2 billion. Year-on-year decline of 9% is primarily due to channel
inventory normalization post stocking up in Q4 FY22, which was partly offset with launch of new
products. Sequential decline of 53% was due to higher base in Q4 FY22 from brand divestment
income and channel inventory normalization in the current quarter.
 Revenues from other CIS countries and Romania at Rs. 1.9 billion. Year-on-year growth of 33%
driven by volume traction in base business, favorable price benefits in some of our products and
launch of new products. Sequential decline of 16% was primarily on account of reduction in
volumes.
 Revenues from Rest of World (RoW) territories at Rs. 3.9 billion. Year-on-year decline of 6%
primarily on account of higher base in Q1 FY22 due to covid product sales and price decline in
current quarter, partly offset by new product launches. Sequential growth of 36% was largely
attributable to volume traction in our base business, price benefits in some of our markets and
launch of new products.
Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (PSAI)
Revenues from PSAI at Rs. 7.1 billion. Year-on-year and sequential decline of 6% each.
 Year-on-year decline was primarily on account of higher base in Q1 FY22 with covid product sales,
partly offset by new products launched and favorable forex rates.

product launches.

Income Statement Highlights:
 Gross profit margin at 49.9%:

Dr.reddys
  • Decreased by ~230 bps over previous year and by ~300 bps sequentially, primarily on account
    of higher commodity prices, adverse leverage on manufacturing overheads, price erosion and
    forex related impact, which was partially benefited from brand divestment income.
  • Gross profit margin for GG and PSAI business segments are at 55.0% and 15.7% respectively.
     Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses at Rs. 15.5 billion, increased by 3% on a year-
    on-year basis and declined by 1% sequentially. Year-on-year increase was primarily attributable to
    investments being done towards marketing of some of our key brands, investments in digitalization
    and annual increments, which was partially offset with lower legal and professional expenses. On
    sequential basis, the expenses have been largely flat.
     Research & development (R&D) expenses at Rs. 4.3 billion. As % to revenues – Q1 FY23: 8.3% | Q4
    FY22: 8.0% | Q1 FY22: 9.2%. Our focus continues on building a global pipeline of products across our
    markets.
     Other operating income at Rs. 6.0 billion compared to Rs. 0.5 billion in Q1 FY22. The increase was

    generic buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film.
     Net Finance income at Rs. 2.3 billion compared to Rs. 0.7 billion in Q1 FY22. The increase was
    primarily on account of foreign exchange gains due to favorable ruble rates.

    sequentially.
     Profit after Tax at Rs. 11.9 billion. The effective tax rate is 19.0% for the quarter.
