Commenting on the quarterly performance and highlights, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairman and Managing Director, Biocon stated, “Our revenue growth this quarter has been muted. Our business performance reflects the challenges that we are temporarily facing in some of our key markets especially in the Middle East. We are working towards diversifying our regional dependencies to diminish the impact of such externalities. However, we have sustained our operating margins and profits despite increase in costs. Our business profitability has remained intact indicating the benefits of portfolio optimisation. Our development pipeline across biosimilars and novel candidates continues to progress well. We remain committed towards improving our performance in the coming quarters.”
