Income Statement Highlights
o | As a share of revenues, the gross profit ratio increased to 63% of revenues in Q4FY07 from 42% in Q4 FY06. This is relatively higher compared to the previous quarters as well. The significant expansion in the margins for the quarter was largely driven by the high margins enjoyed by ondansetron during exclusivity as well as higher margins in the API and CPS businesses during the quarter. Further, in the previous quarters, the Company recorded significant sales from authorized generics products which earned significantly lower margins resulting in lower margins at the company level. | ||
o | Selling, General and Administration (SG&A) expenses increase by 50% to Rs 3.4 billion. This compares with the 125% growth in revenues. | ||
o | R&D investments increased by 26% to Rs 852 million as against Rs 678 million in Q4 FY06. As a share of revenues, R&D expenditure is at 5% as against 10% in Q4 FY06. During the quarter, the Company recognized Rs 85 million under its R&D partnerships as a benefit to the R&D line item as compared to Rs. 60 million recognized in Q4 FY 06. | ||
