Axis Securities Report

Abbott India Ltd. reported revenue growth of 15.9% in Q2 FY22, outpacing the Indian pharma industry growth of 14.6%. It was majorly driven by sales improvement in key therapies such as gasterointestinal (up 39.1% YoY) and hormones (up 22.8% YoY).

Duphaston (gynecological) Q2 FY22 sales stabilised to Rs 297 crore, reporting a growth of 10.4% YoY.

Earlier, Mankind has launched 'Dydrogesterone' in competition with Duphaston which resulted in a decrease in Duphaston sales.

Abbott India’s gross margins improved by 110 basis points due to a richer product mix and pass on the increase in raw material prices. However, Ebitda margins declined by 160 bps to 21.3% due to higher other expenses.

Reported profit after tax at Rs 196 crore grew by 6.5%, though it was impacted by lower other income.
