Biocon’s Nine-Month Revenues Driven by Growth in Branded Formulations, Emerging Markets and Research Services
Commenting on the results, Chairman and Managing Director Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw stated, “Our performance in the first 3 quarters of FY12 has been good on the manufacturing & services fronts where profits were up nearly 29% (excluding licensing income). Licensing income, however, was sharply down from the exceptional levels recorded last fiscal which resulted in flat earnings overall. As I have frequently stated, licensing income is a timing issue and subject to periodic variability. We have seen exceptional growth in our Research Services business, an outcome of the strategic investments we have made in enhancing our integrated service offerings. Moving up the value chain is integral to our growth strategy which is reflected in the strong growth delivered by our Branded Formulations vertical. Our focus on Emerging Markets is also enabling us to realize a greater potential for our APIs and Insulins portfolios. Our R&D pipeline is advancing satisfactorily with 2 late-stage candidates and several early stage programs with enormous value creation potential through licensing. We have shaped our broad-based business into key growth verticals, which we believe will enable us to deliver sustainable, long-term value to our shareholders.”
