Revenue was in-line with our estimate. Ebitda margin dropped due to increased other expenses and lower gross margin compared to the previous quarters.In Q4 FY24, revenue grew by 13% YoY, driven by double-digit growth in domestic formulations, largely supported by the chronic segment and the acquired pediatric portfolio. There was also some contribution from the Ophthalmology portfolio (Novartis) and Razel (Glenmark). Ebitda margin guidance has been improved to 26-28% (excluding ESOPs), with a bias towards the higher end of the range. JB Chemicals remains our preferred pick within pharma, mainly underpinned by aggressive growth focus in the domestic+ plus contract manufacturing organisation business, high return ratios, lean balance sheet and healthy free cash flow despite acquisitions. In the domestic market, it continues to outpace industry growth with Life Cycle management of legacy brands and new launches. Also, strong performance of the acquired businesses is boosting overall domestic growth. Recently, the company has entered into the Ophthalmology segment with an agreement with Novartis.
