Operational Efficiency Drives Margin Expansion
The standout metric for the quarter was operational efficiency. Pfizer saw a robust 17.9% surge in its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), which came in at Rs 248 crore. The strong operational execution resulted in a significant expansion in profitability. EBITDA margin expanded by 310 basis points to reach 37.9%, up from 34.8% in the year-ago period.
However, the overall net profit growth was slightly moderated by a sharp drop in other income, which fell to Rs 44.8 crore during the quarter, compared to Rs 67.2 crore in the same period last year. Despite this drag, the core business strength and improved margin profile kept the quarterly results in positive territory for the global pharma giant.
