Biocon’s net profit is likely to grow by 15% YoY and by 3% QoQ to Rs1.71bn. We expect the company to perform better in future due to the recent approval of insulin glargine in Japan and commencement of insulin manufacturing facility in Malaysia.
The company’s EBIDTA margin is expected to grow by 260bps YoY to 26.2% from 23.6% due to the overall decline in expenses. Biocon’s material cost is likely to decline by 10bps to 39.3% from 39.4%.
