Aurobindo Pharma on Saturday reported a 41 percent decline in its consolidated net profit at Rs 409 crore for the second quarter that ended September 30, 2022.
The Hyderabad-based drug firm had posted a net profit of Rs 697 crore in the July-September period of last fiscal.
Revenue from operations also declined to Rs 5,739 crore in the September quarter as against Rs 5,942 crore in the year-ago period.
Aurobindo Pharma Vice-Chairman and Managing Director K Nithyananda Reddy said the company’s second-quarter performance was subdued, mainly due to macro-environment factors and higher competitive intensity for some products in the US.
”However, we are confident that our robust pipeline of new products will provide impetus to the future growth trajectory,” he added.
