Dr. Reddy's (RDY) Earnings Decline Y/Y in Q1, Sales Rise
Read MoreHide Full Article
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd. (RDY - Free Report) reported first-quarter fiscal 2018 earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS) of 6 cents, down from 12 cents in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues increased 2.4% year over year to $513 million.
Notably, the company’s share price declined 18.8% year to date against the Zacks classified industry’s gain of 0.4%.
Quarter in Detail
Dr. Reddy’s reported revenues under three segments – Global Generics, Pharmaceutical Services & Active Ingredients (PSAI), and Proprietary Products and Others.
Global Generics revenues rose 3.2% year over year to $425 million during the first quarter.
PSAI revenues were $72 million, leading to a marginal decline of 1.4% year over year.
Revenues at the Proprietary Products and Others segment came in at $16 million, in line with the year-ago quarter.
Furthermore, research and development expenses were up 6.8% year over year to $79 million.
Also, selling, general and administrative expenses were $182 million, down 4.2% year over year.
As of Jun 30, 2017, the company has 99 generic filings (97 abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) and two new drug applications) that are pending for the FDA approval. Of these 97 ANDAs, 59 were Para IV filings and 26 have “first-to-file” status.
Our Take
Dr. Reddy’s witnessed year-over-year decline in the bottom line in first-quarter fiscal 2018, but sales rose year over yearEarnings came in below expectations due to price erosion due to U.S. customer consolidation, lower contribution from new product launches in the U.S. and the GST implementation in India.. Higher expenses related to product launches, along with reduced remediation costs, might put pressure on profits, going forward.
Nevertheless, we remain positive on the company’s efforts to expand its biosimilar portfolio, particularly in the emerging markets over the next few years.
