• Revenue increased by 4.4%, but net profit fell 14.4%.

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories had a mixed quarter in Q3 FY26. While the company’s overall revenue jumped by 4.4% to a healthy Rs 8,716.8 crore, their profit actually went down by 14.4% to Rs 1209.8 crore. This happened despite the increased sales.

Revenue Breakdown

The good news is that the revenue growth happened across many different places where Dr. Reddy’s sells its medicines. Countries like Europe and India saw a big increase in sales – up 20% and 19% respectively. India’s growth was thanks to new medicines and increased sales. However, things weren’t so great in North America. Sales there dropped a lot (20%) because they sold fewer Lenalidomide medicines, and prices were getting lower.

Other important factors included favorable exchange rates – when the value of money changes – which helped boost sales. Also, the company spent less money on research and development (R&D) this time, mostly because they finished working on some big projects.

Profit and Costs

Despite the increased revenue, the company’s profit before taxes (PBT) also decreased by 17.68% to Rs 1,542.9 crore. Their earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) also went down, falling by 12.84% to Rs 2,049.3 crore. This means their profit margins got smaller, falling to 23.5% from 26.7% the year before.

The company spent Rs 614.9 crore on R&D, which is 8% less than last year. They are still working on new medicines and improving existing ones. They also made a one-time payment for new rules about workers, which affected their R&D spending a bit.

Dr. Reddy’s leadership believes their growth was driven by strong branded medicines and favorable currency changes, allowing them to handle the dip in Lenalidomide sales. They continue to focus on growing their main business, developing new medicines, and improving how efficiently they operate.

The company’s results show a need for continued focus on key markets and efficient operations to drive sustainable growth.
