Aurobindo Pharma shatters expectations with record-breaking Q1 FY25 earnings

Aurobindo Pharma Limited, a key player in the global pharmaceuticals market, has once again demonstrated remarkable financial health in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. The company announced a 10.5% increase in revenue from operations, totaling INR 7,567 crore. This surge is attributed to consistent growth across all business sectors, particularly in the United States and Europe.

The US formulations segment, not including Puerto Rico, saw a significant rise by 13.3% year-over-year, generating revenue of INR 3,555 crore. Similarly, revenue from European operations grew by 7.9%, reaching INR 1,982 crore. Notably, the growth markets also reported an impressive 49.2% increase, underscoring Aurobindo’s expanding global footprint.

Amidst this financial uptick, the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) stood at INR 1,620 crore, with an EBITDA margin of 21.4%. A strategic increase in research and development expenditure to INR 339 crore—4.5% of total revenues—highlights Aurobindo’s commitment to innovation and quality.

K. Nithyananda Reddy, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Aurobindo Pharma, commented on the results: “This quarter’s performance reflects our strategic initiatives and operational efficiencies that have significantly contributed to our growth trajectory. Our focus remains on enhancing shareholder value through sustainable growth.”

Further bolstering its market position, Aurobindo received final approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for 10 Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs), including specialty and injectable products. This approval enhances the company’s portfolio, particularly in critical therapeutic areas such as anti-gout, pain relief, and corticosteroids.
