API sales faced supply challenges from Dewas & Taonsa facilities. However, India, APAC & LATAM performed well during the quarter. Branded & OTC category contributed around 57% of total sales. EBIDTA degrew by 58% YoY to Rs. 113 crs & EBITDA margins stood at 4.3% during the quarter on account of lower sales, lower gross margins & forex loss of Rs132.7crs.
