Quarter in Detail
Dr. Reddy’s reports revenues under three segments: Global Generics, Pharmaceutical Services & Active Ingredients (“PSAI”) and Proprietary Products and Others.
Global Generics revenues were INR 59.2 billion, up 33% year over year, in the fiscal third quarter. Growth was driven by new product launches, an increase in volumes of base business and favorable forex movement, offset partially due to price erosion in generic markets.

As of Dec 31, cumulatively, 78 generic filings were pending approval from the FDA (75 abbreviated New Drug Applications [ANDAs] and three new drug applications). Of these 78 pending filings, 41 are Para IVs and 21 have first-to-file status.
PSAI revenues were INR 7.7 billion, up 7% from the year-ago quarter, by favorable forex movement and an increase in volumes, partly offset by price erosion.
Revenues in the other segment came in at INR 701 million, down 51% year over year.
Research and development expenses were up 16% year-over-year to $58 million. The company is focused on building a global pipeline of new products across its markets.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $217 million, up 17% year over year, primarily owing to investments in business growth.
