India's Gland Pharma beats quarterly estimates on strong Europe, US sales
Nov 6 (Reuters) - India's Gland Pharma GLAD.NS reported a bigger-than-expected 58.3% jump in second-quarter profit on Friday, boosted by strong sales in its key European and US markets.
The Hyderabad-based company's consolidated net profit of 2.91 billion rupees ($30.9 million) was up from 1.84 billion rupees a year ago, beating analysts' average estimate of 2.75 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG.
Here are some more details:
Its US sales, which make up more than half of the total, rose 42% in the quarter ended September 30, while the European business climbed 30%
Gland Pharma's results have consistently improved since a recovery in production at its Cenexi units in France and Belgium in late 2025
Disruption at these units had hurt the drugmaker's results throughout most of last year
Overall quarterly revenue rose 23.3% to 18.34 billion rupees, also beating estimates of 17.59 billion rupees
Gland Pharma and several of its Indian generic drugmaker peers that derive a large share of their revenue from the US have been grappling with limited pricing power amid stiff competition in that market
Larger rivals Cipla CIPL.NS and Dr Reddy's REDY.NS also reported subdued US sales during the second quarter
