“Biocon Group’s overall #Q2FY25 financial and operational performance provides a foundation for improved performance as we move into the second half of the fiscal. Reported Operating Revenues of Rs 3,590 Cr reflect YoY growth of 8% on a like for like basis and core EBITDA and EBITDA margins of 28% and 20% respectively remain healthy. We had a robust performance in the Biosimilars business, up 19% on a like for like revenue basis, driven by strong market share gains in our US Oncology and Insulins franchises. Syngene has returned to sequential growth and has good visibility of a pickup in momentum in the coming quarters led by its Discovery Services and Biomanufacturing CMO business. Generics has continued to face price and demand pressures that have suppressed performance, but key new formulation launches in Q3 and Q4 provide the basis of a turnaround before the year end. All three businesses are tracking towards a better performance in the second half of the year, on the back of product approvals and unfolding market opportunities. “Biocon Biologics’ successful refinancing of its long-term debt of US$ 1.1 billion through a combination an $800 million USD bond listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange and a new $300 million syndicated loan facility was a credible success. This was Biocon Group’s debut bond issue and to be 3x oversubscribed speaks to strong investor confidence in our Biosimilars growth potential.” Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Chairperson, Biocon Group. said on #Q2FY25 results.

About us
Biocon: Enhancing Global Healthcare Biocon Limited, publicly listed in 2004, is India's largest and fully-integrated, innovation-led biopharmaceutical company. It is an emerging global biopharmaceutical enterprise serving customers in over 120 countries. Driven by a vision to enhance global healthcare through innovative and affordable biopharmaceuticals, we have enabled access to advanced therapies for diseases that are chronic, where medical needs are largely unmet and treatment costs are high. The early anticipation of the increasing dominance of biologics in global development pipelines helped us to be ahead of the curve in crafting a differentiated product portfolio based on fermentation and recombinant technologies, which straddles fermentation-derived small molecules and biologics, both novel as well as biosimilars. The significant brand equity that we have built worldwide for our small molecule APIs across statins, immunosuppresants and other specialty products has made us a leading global supplier of these products. We have also built one of the largest and most diverse biosimilar pipelines, spanning insulins, monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant proteins that address critical chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and autoimmune disorders. Ranked among the Top 3 biosimilar players globally for rh-insulin and insulin glargine in volume terms, we are the first Indian company to launch a biosimilar in Japan with Insulin Glargine, which also has been approved for sale in EU and Australia. Our insulin products have made a difference to the lives of millions of people with diabetes across the globe. We now aim to provide our insulin products to ‘one in five’ people with diabetes in need of insulin-based therapy anywhere in the world within the next 10 years. We are also making a huge impact in the area of cancer care. Our biosimilar Trastuzumab, which was the first to be approved anywhere in the world and launched in India in 2014, has helped treat several thousand HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients. We are also the first company from India to get its biosimilar approved by the USFDA; Ogivri™, co-developed by Biocon and Mylan, is the first biosimilar Trastuzumab to be approved in the US. In addition to Trastuzumab, several of our biosimilar assets are on track for anticipated regulatory approvals in developed markets. We are also developing a pipeline of patented biologics to address global unmet medical needs. We have successfully launched a couple of novel biologics in India: Nimotuzumab for the treatment of head and neck cancer and Itolizumab to tackle psoriasis. Besides these, we have a basket of novel assets are under various stages of clinical development, including a high potential oral insulin. Through our subsidiary, Syngene, we offer a suite of integrated, end-to-end discovery and development services for novel molecular entities (NMEs) to the global life sciences sector. Ranked by the prestigious Science magazine among the Top 10 Best employers in the biotech industry, Biocon is passionately pursuing a mission to rationalize healthcare spends, enhance access to life-saving therapies and make a significant impact to global healthcare through ‘blockbuster’ drugs with the potential to benefit a billion patients.

“With like for like Operating Revenue growth of 8%, Biocon Group’s consolidated performance in Q2FY25 was balanced and in line with our expectations. Healthy double-digit growth in Biosimilars more than offset a relatively muted performance in the Generics business and a marginal decline in Syngene’s revenues. Reported Net Loss for the quarter was Rs 16 Cr on account of higher tax, based on geographical split of profits and minority interest. Adjusting for exceptional items, the loss stands at Rs 13 Cr. “We maintain our outlook for a transition to accelerating growth in the second half of the year with Syngene returning to growth, building momentum in our Biosimilars business and a recovery in Generics in the latter part of H2 driven by the launch of our first GLP-1 generic in the UK. The highly successful Biocon Biologics bond issue was a standout achievement and has significantly strengthened its mid-term financial foundation.” Peter Bains, Group CEO, Biocon Limited. comments on #Q2FY25 results.

“The Generics business continues to face pricing pressure and demand contraction. This quarter we also carried out a planned shut-down of one of our API facilities, which further impacted revenues. We received a few drug product approvals in the U.S., UK, EU and MoW markets, which will support our near-term sales. The licensing agreements signed with two leading pharmaceutical companies in the Middle East and Brazil, for the commercialization of our GLP-1 products will enable mid and long-term growth in these regions. “As stated earlier, we expect a transition to growth in the second half of this fiscal on the back of new product launches, including Liraglutide in the UK, as well as other injectable products, such as Micafungin and Daptomycin.” Siddharth Mittal, CEO & Managing Director, Biocon Limited. on #Q2FY25 results.
