Higher revenue, lower depreciation charge and higher other income led adjusted net profit coming above our estimate by 10%. Net sales were slightly above our estimate by 2.3%, chiefly because of more-than-anticipated revenues from export formulations and export APIs. EBITDA margin, at 15%, was in line with our estimate. Fig 7 Estimates vs Actuals (`m) 1QFY15e 1QFY15 Variance (%) Revenues 2,844 2, EBITDA Margin (%) bps PAT Margin (%) bps Revenue growth weak The company s primary business, formulations, improved. This stemmed from the increase in revenue from export formulations, though branded domestic formulation business witnessed subdued growth of 2.5% yoy due to price reduction in the domestic market (consequent to the new drugpricing policy). APIs business improved 11.6% yoy, led by strong growth of 81.2% yoy registered by domestic APIs on account of low base in 1QFY14. Nevertheless, growth in domestic formulations is expected to revive from 2QFY15, as the impact of the new pricing policy would be felt at the base and annual increase in drug prices to be taken by the company.
