Gland Pharma Ltd reported a revenue growth of 14.2% YoY for Q1FY25 but missed estimates for revenue, EBITDA margin, and PAT, largely due to the impact of its subsidiary Cenexi, which recorded an EBITDA loss.

Financial Performance
GLAND (Ex-Cenexi) registered a revenue growth of 14.2% YoY, maintaining EBITDA margins of ~29%, which is
consistent with preceding quarters on a YoY basis. The growth was driven by volume growth in the existing
portfolio, new launches, and milestone income. The acquired company – Cenexi reported revenue of Rs 388 Cr
(7% QoQ), EBITDA loss of Rs 29 Cr, and EBITDA margins of -7% YoY. The consolidated revenue stood at Rs
1,402 Cr, 16%/-9% YoY/QoQ while the company’s consolidated EBITDA margins were at 18.9% (down by -
546bps/-447bps YoY/QoQ) largely impacted by Cenexi. GLAND reported a profit of Rs 144 crore, which lags
behind their profit from the previous quarter.

In Q1FY25, GLAND’s significant efforts helpsed it stabilize and regain its lost ground in terms of market share in
the USA. New product launches appear to have been effective in driving growth, particularly with key products
such as Eribulin mesylate, Nelarabine, and Edaravone. Additionally, measures taken by the last year resulted in
improved costs and effecincies.

Maintaining an annual revenue growth rate of approximately 14% to 15% is the target, reflecting a balanced
approach that aims to ensure stability and sustainability while leveraging the expanded base from recent initiatives.

Key Concall Highlights


• Guidance: In Q2FY25, lower activity levels are anticipated due to the European holiday season and
scheduled summer maintenance shutdowns. Despite these short-term challenges, we expect Cenexi to
breach the threshold limit of €200 Mn in revenue, with positive EBITDA projected to materialize by the
end of Q4FY25.
• Base Business: Excluding Cenexi, the base business reported revenue of Rs 1,013 Cr, reflecting a
14% increase YoY. Gross margins have remained relatively stable, aligning with EBIT margins.
• Cenexi: The Company recorded revenue of Rs 388 Cr, with improving gross contribution driven by cost
control measures. Although profitability is on an upward trajectory, margins remain negative.
• New Manufacturing Line: At the Fontenay Site in Paris, a new manufacturing line is scheduled to be
added and commissioned during the summer shutdown period in August. Commercial production is
expected to commence in early 2025, with an anticipated incremental revenue of €10 Mn.
• R&D: R&D expenditure as a percentage of base business sales stood at 5% in Q1FY25.

Key Risks to Our Estimates and TP


• The potential issuance of Warning Letters (WL), Official Action Indicated (OAI) status, or 483
observations from USFDA inspections could adversely impact the company's revenue growth.
• The entry of new competitors may increase pricing pressures within the injectable portfolio.
• Delays in launching Biosimilars could further challenge the company's operations and growth strategy.
