Boryung Pharmaceutical (003850 KS): Prescription Drugs Took a Breather in Q3; Poised to Rebound

By Tina Banerjee

  • In 3Q23, Boryung Pharmaceutical (003850 KS) reported 15% YoY growth in revenue to KRW208B, driven by 7% YoY growth in prescription drugs, the slowest growth in the last three years.
  • Prescription drug revenue growth slowed due to the huge shortfall in revenue from the diabetes drug Trulicity caused by supply shortage. We expect slowdown in Trulicity revenue is temporary.  
  • Despite losing patent protection in February 2023 on ARB monotherapy, Kanarb drug family is showing no fatigue due to increasing preference for combination drugs in the market.
