Motilal Oswal Report

Biocon Ltd. delivered lower-than-expected Q1 FY22 earnings, largely weighed by a weak performance from the generics segment.

Revenues grew 5.4% y-o-y to Rs 17.6 billion (estimate - Rs 19.2 billion), led by 41% y-o-y growth in research services (Rs 5.9 billion; 32% of sales), 9.6% y-o-y growth in biosimilars sales (Rs 7.5 billion; 41% of sales), and Rs 110 million in revenues from the novel biologics segment (nil y-o-y).

We lower Biocon's earnings per share estimate by 11%/6% for FY22/FY23, factoring in a delay in-

  1. approvals for biosimilars in the U.S.,

  2. pricing pressure in generics/delay in new approvals/operational issues in the generics segment on account of the pandemic.
