Lupin Q3 FY2020 Results
Mumbai, February 6, 2020: Pharma major Lupin Limited [BSE: 500257 | NSE: LUPIN] reported its financial performance for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2019. These results were taken on record by the Board of Directors at a meeting held in Mumbai today.
The quarter was impacted by Exceptional items which included:
- ➢ On December 17, 2019, Lupin completed the divestiture of its entire stake in Kyowa Pharmaceutical Industry Co. Ltd. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of INR 12,911 mn. The impact of the transaction on the company's financial metrics is:
- Significant reduction in leverage (Net Debt Equity ratio improves to 0.08 as on Q3 FY2020 vs 0.32 as on Q2 FY2020)
- ROCE improvement of ~70 bps, on utilization of surplus cash proceeds for reducing leverage
- ➢ The Company follows IND-AS accounting standards and periodically conducts impairment tests of Intangible Assets on a line by line basis. In view of the changes in the pipeline value of Gavis portfolio, the Company has decided to impair certain Intangible Assets acquired as part of the Gavis acquisition leading to an exceptional loss of INR 15,798 mn (pretax). This would result in:
- Lower amortization expense of ~INR 1.7 bn in the consolidated financials on an annualized basis
- ROCE improvement of ~220 bps on the revised asset base
- ➢ Reported Tax includes an impact of INR 6,995 mn pertaining to the above Exceptional items

Commenting on the results, Mr. Nilesh Gupta, Managing Director, Lupin Limited said, "There are a lot of one-times in the numbers this quarter. The reported performance was significantly affected by exceptional events, including the impairment of the Gavis portfolio and our divestiture of Kyowa. Sequentially, the profitability in the quarter was impacted by lumpiness in some of the spend but we see improved margins hereon. The resilience of the India branded business, stabilization of the US generic base business and growth in new launches will drive growth for the Company. Quality remains our top-most priority and we are making steady progress on remediation measures across our manufacturing footprint".
