It has 59 ANDA for injectable products now awaiting USFDA approval. Europe recorded a decline of 5% in Q1 as sales stood at Rs 13bn.

offset by lower sales in EU (-5% yoy, miss of 14%) and RoW (-8% yoy, a miss of 12%). EBITDA margin at 21.2% (flat yoy) were 70bps above our estimates of 20.5%. The

(adjusted for forex) was Rs 7.9bn (+23% yoy), a beat of 9% to our estimates.

Conference call takeaways US sales in Q1 stood at $412mn, up 6% on yoy basis and flat sequentially despite covid

related disruptions. Management expects steady growth in the US on the back of – 1) strong visibility on new business opportunities, 2) stable US generic pricing environment and 3) ramp up in launches from Q2 onwards (guides for 50 launches in FY21 in US).

Auromedics recorded a 24% decline in injectable sales to $51mn in Q1 on account of COVID impact although it saw recovery from end of Q1 and expects improved Q2. It has 59 ANDA for injectable products now awaiting USFDA approval.

Europe recorded a decline of 5% in Q1 as sales stood at Rs 13bn. Management attributed this sequential decline largely due to stocking up of inventory at the beginning of Covid pandemic in Q4FY20 although ARBP did capture some one-time opportunities due to supply disruptions. It EU business EBITDA margins just touched double digits.

ARBP to participate in production linked incentive scheme of Govt of India as they see enough demand (external + internal) in market.

API sales growth at 7% yoy was muted compared to peers as 55% of external product portfolio being anti-biotic in nature saw impact due to covid disruptions.
