Mumbai, August 07, 2019: Cipla Limited (BSE: 500087, NSE: CIPLA) today announced its unaudited consolidated financial results for quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Key highlights of the quarter

• Profitability: Despite significant global volatility and revenue deferrals for the quarter, profitability maintained
• India continues strong secondary performance across key therapies and outpacing the market in Respiratory and Cardiology
• South Africa private business continues to outpace the market; grew over 2 times the market at 7.3%
• US business – 61% growth year on year (in US $ terms) for the quarter; base business grows year on year
• Quality Focus:
  • Received EIR for Kurkumbh plant for the inspection by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) from 11th March 2019 to 20th March 2019

"We witnessed a muted first quarter in FY'20 owing to a combination of external volatility and some conscious business decisions taken with the long-term sustainability in mind. Our secondary growth in our flagship therapies in India and in the South Africa private market remained impressive, and our base business in the U.S. saw y-o-y growth with increased revenue from recent high-value launches. Our business fundamentals remain strong, and our overall base business profitability was maintained at healthy levels despite the volatility. Our growth drivers remain on track with sustained expansion of our basket of biosimilars in emerging markets, entry into new markets such as China to set up our respiratory franchise, and further depth in our U.S. specialty pipeline with ZEMDRI™"

Eight Roads held minority ownership in CHL through two rounds of investment in April 2016 and August 2018.
