Briefing

Dr. Reddy's Q4 FY26: ₹7,969 crore adjusted revenue as lenalidomide headwinds hit; base business grows double digits

Dr. Reddy's reported Q4 and full-year FY26 results on May 12, 2026, with adjusted revenue of ₹7,969 crores ($849 million) for the quarter (down 6% YoY) and ₹34,046 crores ($3.63 billion) for the year (up 4.6%). Results were weighed down by a ₹453 crore lenalidomide shelf-stock adjustment, impairments on discontinued CAR-T and partnered programs, and VAT provisions; adjusted profit before tax was ₹994 crores for the quarter versus reported PBT of ₹199 crores. Underlying base business excluding lenalidomide grew double digits across geographies except North America. Management declared an ₹8 per share dividend, highlighted semaglutide and abatacept pipeline progress, and guided for gross margins above 50% and R&D spend of 7–8% of revenue in FY27.

  • Adjusted Q4 revenue was ₹7,969 crores ($849 million), down 6% YoY, while FY26 adjusted revenue rose 4.6% to ₹34,046 crores despite lenalidomide decline
  • Reported Q4 net income was ₹220 crores with diluted EPS of ₹2.64; FY26 diluted EPS was ₹51.42 on ₹4,285 crores net income
  • One-time items included a ₹453 crore lenalidomide shelf-stock adjustment, ₹228 crore in impairments, and VAT provisions that cut reported margins
  • Geographic strength: India revenue grew 20% YoY to ₹1,566 crores; Emerging Markets rose 29% to ₹1,806 crores; North America generics fell 40% YoY to $251 million adjusted
  • Board recommended ₹8 dividend per share; pipeline milestones include semaglutide approvals in Canada and India and USFDA acceptance of abatacept biosimilar BLA

Forward guidance

Management expects base business to sustain double-digit growth, North America ex-lenalidomide to grow double digits, consolidated gross margins to improve above 50% in FY27, SG&A to remain near FY26 levels, R&D at 7–8% of revenue, and effective tax rate of 24–25% in FY27.

Tailwinds

  • Semaglutide launches and abatacept biosimilar BLA acceptance expected to drive future growth
  • India and Emerging Markets delivered robust double-digit revenue growth in Q4
  • Cost efficiency and productivity initiatives targeted to lift gross margins above 50%

Headwinds

  • Lenalidomide revenue decline and shelf-stock adjustment continue to pressure North America
  • Price erosion in European and unbranded generics businesses
  • One-time impairments and VAT provisions may recur if unresolved
