Takeda: Conservative Guidance Is Not Something to Worry Too Much About..

By Shifara Samsudeen, ACMA, CGMA

  • Takeda reported FQ4 and full-year FY03/2023 results. Reported revenue increased 9.5% YoY to ¥956.2bn (vs consensus ¥938.6bn) and OP of ¥88.6bn (vs consensus ¥144.5bn) vs an operating loss in 4QFY03/22.
  • Full-Year revenue and OP increased 12.8% and 6.4% YoY to ¥4.0trn and ¥490.5bn respectively. While reported revenue beat guidance and consensus, OP fell slightly below these two.
  • Takeda Pharmaceutical (4502 JP) ’s FY03/2024E guidance is too conservative as we think that the company has been careful not to disappoint investors if it fails to meet its own target.

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRRD IN): Q4FY23 Result- Sequential Decline in Key Parameters

By Tina Banerjee

  • Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories (DRRD IN) announced mixed Q4FY23 result, with revenue beating consensus and net profit missing expectations. Both revenue and net profit grew YoY but declined sequentially.
  • North America grew 27% YoY (but declined 17% QoQ) to INR25.3B, driven by new product launches, growing market share in certain existing products, and favorable Fx movement.
  • Revenue from India business increased 32% YoY and 14% QoQ to INR12.8B, driven by favorable price variance, new product launches including acquired/in-licensed products, and non-core brand divestments.
