Revenue Flat: Cipla reported Q3 FY'26 revenue of INR 7,074 crores, which was flat year-on-year, reflecting strong India performance but offset by declines in the U.S. generic REVLIMID and lanreotide sales.
Profitability Dip: EBITDA margin fell to 17.7%, down from historical levels, mainly due to lower REVLIMID revenues and elevated R&D spend.
India Growth: One India business saw robust 10% year-on-year growth, led by strong momentum in chronic therapies and consumer health.
U.S. Pipeline and Disruption: U.S. business impacted by reduced REVLIMID and a temporary pause in lanreotide supply; several large respiratory and peptide product launches are planned over the next 12 months.
FY'26 Margin Guidance: Management guided to an FY'26 EBITDA margin of around 21%, but noted margin headwinds from REVLIMID’s loss and near-term lanreotide disruption.
Guidance Revision: U.S. revenue guidance for FY'27 will be lowered due to lanreotide supply disruption.
R&D Investment: R&D spend was 7% of revenue, up 37.4% year-on-year, driven by pipeline development and new launches.
