    At 1.35 pm, shares of Glenmark Pharma were trading at Rs 1,109.30 on the NSE.

    The company bore the brunt of an impairments of Rs 2,100 crore related to nebuliser/ oral solid dosage within the Monroe facility, Rs 1,100 crroe related to the de-prioritisation of certain intangibles of Glenmark Specialty and Rs 300 crore  related to the US Department of Justice Settlement, Anti-trust division settlement costs, and remediation costs of manufacturing sites in the US.

    Glenmark's Monroe facility received a warning letter from the US Food and Drug Administration back in June 2023. The drugmaker also stated in its earnings call that it is in talks with the US drug regulator, requesting for a meeting and re-inspection of its Monroe facility.

    The impairment charges also offset the Rs 5,140 crore from the stake sale in Glenmark Life Sciences.  Adjusting for these exceptional items in the quarter gone by, the drugmaker's net profit surged nearly 2.5 times to Rs 1,600 crore.

    Revenue rose two percent to Rs 3,063 crore, up from Rs 3,000.5 crore in the same period a year ago.
