Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE:RDY) Releases Earnings Results

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE:RDY) posted its quarterly earnings results on Friday. The company reported $0.12 earnings per share for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $0.09 by $0.03, FiscalAI reports. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories had a return on equity of 9.49% and a net margin of 10.15%. The firm had revenue of $903.89 million during the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $892.16 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories’ conference call:

• Revenue declined 1.5% year over year to INR 8,671 crore, primarily reflecting lower North American lenalidomide sales. EBITDA margin fell to 20.6% year over year, while higher freight, personnel and raw-material costs also weighed on profitability.
• The underlying business excluding lenalidomide delivered double-digit growth, supported by new product launches and productivity measures. Management expects gross margins to remain within the 50%-55% range and reiterated its ambition to move EBITDA margins toward 25% over time.
• Semaglutide supply is expected to resume in November 2026, subject to completion of validation, with API already shipped to the fill-and-finish partner. Management remains confident in its previously indicated 6-7 million device volume for the year and is preparing for a potential 12-15 million pen run rate over the following 12 months.
• India and emerging markets remained strong, growing 17% and 24% year over year, respectively, while North America’s base business also posted double-digit growth excluding lenalidomide. The company launched multiple products, including sugammadex in the U.S., and continues to expand its biosimilar and complex-generic pipeline.
• Abatacept remains targeted for U.S. approval by December 22, 2026, although management acknowledged the possibility of a CRL; commercial ramp-up may take roughly six months after approval. Europe and PSAI remained weak due to price erosion, operating-model changes and lower API volumes, although the CDMO business grew and management expects it to reach two to three times current revenue in three to four years.
