Key Highlights/Developments
Business and Financial
Ranbaxy continued its robust sales, aided by further improvement
in base business sales and strong sales contribution from
exclusivities.
Improvement in Sales and Profitability on base business continued
in the Quarter.
Recorded growth on most major markets including North America,
Western Europe, Asia Pacific and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
business (API).
India region primary sales growth was over 10% in Rupee terms.
Consumer Healthcare (CHC), Ranbaxy's OTC division, continued its
robust sales performance with primary sales growth of over
20%.
USA base business continued to be strong. Robust sales of products

of

Canada through an agreement with the innovator.
As a further step in the Hybrid Business Model, Daiichi Sankyo Co.
Limited (DS) and Ranbaxy worked together to promote only
Atorvastatin in Germany.
The Indian Rupee strengthened against the US$ in the Quarter. This

losses on derivative options outstanding and foreign currency
loans. The impact has been accounted for below the EBITDA
line.

approvals. For APIs, Ranbaxy made 13 DMF submissions during the

predictability to the Company's business in the USA.
