In Q2, Sun Pharma reported 13.1 per cent year-on-year (YoY) jump in gross sales at Rs 10,809 crore. The company's reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Ebitda) margin for Q2 stood at 27 per cent, as against 27.3 per cent in Q2 last year. However, net profit for the quarter grew 10.5 per cent YoY at Rs 2,262 crore impacted by lower other income.
The management said the strong revenue and margins were driven by market share gain in India, sustained ramp-up of the company’s global specialty business, and growth in Emerging Markets. Global specialty business has grown by 27.5 per cent driven by Ilumya, Cequa and Winlevi.
