The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, risks relating to:
• our business and operations in general, including: our ability to develop and commercialize additional pharmaceutical products; manufacturing, safety or quality control problems, which may damage our reputation for quality production and require costly remediation; interruptions in our supply chain; disruptions of our or third party information technology systems or breaches of our data security or other cyber-attacks; the failure to recruit or retain key personnel; significant sales to a limited number of customers in our U.S. market; and our ability to successfully undertake licensing opportunities;
• current challenges associated with conducting business globally, including uncertainty related to ongoing geopolitical instability and armed conflicts and hostilities (including between Russia and Ukraine and conflicts in Middle East) and its adverse effects on the global supply chain, or economic instability, major hostilities or terrorism;
• our generics medicines business, including: consolidation of our customer base and commercial alliances among our customers; the increase in the number of competitors targeting generic opportunities and seeking U.S. market exclusivity for generic versions of significant products; price erosion relating to our generic products, both from competing products and increased regulation; delays in launches of new generic products; efforts of pharmaceutical companies to limit the use of generics including through legislation and regulations; the difficulty and expense of obtaining licenses to proprietary technologies; and returns, allowances and chargebacks;
• compliance, regulatory and litigation matters, including: uncertainties regarding actual or potential legal proceedings; costs and delays resulting from the extensive governmental regulation to which we are subject; the effects of reforms in healthcare regulation and reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage; governmental investigations into selling and marketing practices; potential liability for patent infringement; product liability claims; increased government scrutiny of our patent settlement agreements; failure to comply with complex Medicare and Medicaid reporting and payment obligations; and environmental risk;
• the effects of changes in U.S. tariffs or foreign trade laws (including laws designed to facilitate most-favored-nation (“MFN”) pricing requirements), or retaliatory measures by other countries in response, including: increased business costs and impacts on supply chains; new operational challenges as we navigate a more complex business landscape; and business uncertainty that adversely affects macroeconomic conditions;
• other financial and economic risks, including: our exposure to currency fluctuations and restrictions as well as credit risks; potential impairments of our intangible assets; potential significant increases in tax liabilities; and the effect on our overall effective tax rate of the termination or expiration of governmental programs or tax benefits, or of a change in our business;
• compliance matters, including lapses by our U.S. or overseas employees, third-party distributors or marketing and distribution agents in complying with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other worldwide anti-bribery laws, which could result in adverse consequences to us, including without limitation causing us to be subject to injunctions or limitations on future conduct, be required to modify our business practices and compliance programs and/or have a compliance monitor imposed on us, or suffer other criminal or civil penalties or adverse impacts, including lawsuits by private litigants or investigations and fines imposed by local authorities;
• risks of reputational damage and other adverse effects in the event of inadequate performance and management of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) and climate change topics; and

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, except share and per share data and where otherwise stated)
1. Reporting entity
Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited (the “parent company”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), joint ventures and associates, is a leading India-based pharmaceutical company headquartered and having its registered office in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The Company offers a portfolio of products and services including active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”), generics, branded generics, biosimilars, over the counter (“OTC”) products and pharmaceutical services.
The Company’s principal research and development facilities are located in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in India, Cambridge in the United Kingdom; its principal manufacturing facilities are located in the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh in India, Cuernavaca-Cuautla in Mexico and Mirfield in the United Kingdom; and its principal markets are in India, Russia, the United States, and Germany. The Company’s shares are listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, the National Stock Exchange, the NSE IFSC Limited in India and on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.
2. Basis of preparation of financial statements
a) Statement of compliance
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter referred to as the “interim financial statements”) are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). They do not include all of the information required for a complete set of annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. These interim financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 23, 2026.
b) Material accounting policies information
The accounting policies applied by the Company in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.
New Standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company effective from April 1, 2026
The Company applied for the first time the below amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 for Classification and Measurement of financial instruments
On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, and IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, relating to the classification and measurement of financial instruments, which:
clarify that a financial liability is derecognized on the 'settlement date' - i.e., the date when the related obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires or the liability otherwise qualifies for derecognition. They also introduce an accounting policy option to derecognize financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before the settlement date, if certain conditions are met;
clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) linked features and other similar contingent features;
clarify the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments; and
require additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event (including those that are ESG-linked), and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”).
This amendment has no material impact on these interim financial statements.

b) Material accounting policies information (continued)
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity
In December 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, to help companies better report the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts, which are often structured as power purchase agreements.
Nature-dependent electricity contracts help companies to secure their electricity supply from sources such as wind and solar power. The amount of electricity generated under these contracts can vary based on uncontrollable factors such as weather conditions.
The amendments include:
clarifying the application of the ‘own-use’ requirements for in-scope contracts;
permitting hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments; and
adding new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows.
This amendment has no material impact on these interim financial statements.
New Standards and Amendments not yet effective as on April 1, 2026
Certain new standards and amendments to standards are not yet effective for annual periods beginning on April 1, 2026 and have not been applied in preparing these interim financial statements that could have potential impact on the interim financial statements of the Company are:
IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”, which replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals.
Furthermore, entities are required to classify all income and expenses within the statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The first three categories are new. It also requires disclosure of newly defined management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes.
In addition, narrow-scope amendments have been made to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows, which include changing the starting point for determining cash flows from operations under the indirect method, from ‘profit or loss’ to ‘operating profit or loss’ and removing the optionality around classification of cash flows from dividends and interest. In addition, there are consequential amendments to several other standards.
IFRS 18, and the amendments to the other standards, are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted, but will need to be disclosed.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS 18 and other amendments on these interim financial statements.

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)
IAS 28 – Amendments to the Fair Value Option for Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
In June 2026, the IASB amended IAS 28, “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” to clarify that entities similar to venture capital organizations and other entities specified in paragraphs 18–19 of IAS 28 include entities whose principal business activity is investing in particular types of assets, as identified in paragraph 49(a) of IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”. Such entities may elect to measure investments in associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”.
The Company’s principal business activity is not investment management nor investing in assets in a manner similar to venture capital organizations, mutual funds or other investment focused entities contemplated by the amendment. Accordingly, the amendment does not affect the accounting for the Company’s investments in associates and joint ventures, which continue to be accounted for using the equity method under IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.”
IFRS 20 – Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities
In May 2026, the IASB issued IFRS 20, “Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities” which establishes requirements for regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities arising from specified types of rate-regulated activities. The Company is not engaged in rate-regulated activities and accordingly this standard is not expected to have an impact on these interim financial statements.
c) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
These interim financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries as at September 30, 2026. Subsidiaries are all entities that are controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company (i) has power over the investee (i.e., existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee), (ii) is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and (iii) has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.
The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls a subsidiary if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in these interim financial statements from the date when the Company obtains control and continues until the date that control ceases.
Changes in ownership interests:
Acquisition of some or all of the NCIs in an entity and changes in the interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as a transaction with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders. Consequently, the difference arising between the fair value of the purchase consideration received and the carrying value of the NCI is recorded as an adjustment to Other reserves that is attributable to the parent company. The associated cash flows are classified as financing activities. No goodwill is recognized as a result of such transactions.
Profit, loss, and equity attributed to NCIs in subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated interim income statement, consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and consolidated interim statement of financial position, respectively.

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)
d) Basis of measurement
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, except for the following material items in the statements of financial position which are measured on the basis stated below and in accordance with the respective accounting policies:
derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value;
financial assets and financial liabilities are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost, depending on the classification based on accounting policy; and
equity-settled and cash-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value on the grant date and the reporting date, respectively.
e) Convenience translation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in Indian rupees. Solely for the convenience of the reader, these interim financial statements as of and for the six months ended September 30, 2026 have been translated into U.S. dollars at the certified foreign exchange rate of U.S.$1.00 = Rs.95.83, as published by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on September 30, 2026. No representation is made that the Indian rupee amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such a rate or any other rate. Such convenience translation is not subject to review by the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
f) Use of judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS accounting standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates implies that actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing these interim financial statements, the judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026.

3. Segment reporting
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators by operating segments. The CODM reviews revenue and gross profit as the performance indicator for all of the operating segments and does not review the total assets and liabilities of an operating segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the CODM of the Company.
The Company’s reportable operating segments are as follows:
Global Generics;
Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”); and
Others.
Global Generics. This segment consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing prescription and over-the-counter finished pharmaceutical products ready for consumption by the patient, marketed under a brand name (branded formulations) or as generic finished dosages with therapeutic equivalence to branded formulations (generics). This segment also includes the operations of the Company’s biologics business and the portfolio outside of the United States of consumer brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category that the Company acquired from Haleon UK Enterprises Limited (the “NRT Business”).
Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients. This segment primarily consists of the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates, also known as “API”, which are the principal ingredients for finished pharmaceutical products. Active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates become finished pharmaceutical products when the dosages are fixed in a form ready for human consumption such as a tablet, capsule or liquid using additional inactive ingredients. The Company also serves its customers with incremental value added products, including semi-finished and finished formulations, which are included in this segment. This segment also includes the Company’s pharmaceutical services business, which provides contract research services and manufactures and sells active pharmaceutical ingredients in accordance with the specific customer requirements.
Others. This segment consists of the Company’s other business operations, which includes the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aurigene Oncology Limited (“AOL”) (formerly Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited) and the Company’s Proprietary Products business. AOL is a discovery stage biotechnology company developing novel and best-in-class therapies in the fields of oncology and inflammation. AOL works with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies through customized models of drug-discovery collaborations. The Proprietary Products business focuses on the research and development of differentiated formulations and is expected to earn revenues arising out of monetization of such assets and subsequent royalties, if any.
The measurement of each segment’s revenues, expenses and assets is consistent with the accounting policies that are used in preparation of the Company’s interim financial statements.

18. Income taxes
Income tax expense is recognized based on the Company’s best estimate of the average annual effective income tax rate for the fiscal year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The average annual effective income tax rate is determined for each taxing jurisdiction and applied individually to the interim period pre-tax income of each jurisdiction. The difference between the estimated average annual income tax rate and the enacted tax rate is accounted for by a number of factors, including the effect of differences between Indian and foreign tax rates, expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes, income exempted from income taxes, and effects of changes in tax laws and rates.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2026, was higher as compared to six months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in effective tax rates was primarily on account of:
an increase in the proportion of the Company’s profits coming from higher tax jurisdictions and decrease in the proportion of profits from lower tax jurisdictions for the period ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the period ended September 30, 2025; which was partially offset by
the reversal of previously recognized tax provisions consequent to the favorable resolution of a tax assessment pertaining to an earlier year.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was higher as compared to three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in effective tax rates was primarily on account of:
an increase in the proportion of the Company’s profits coming from higher tax jurisdictions and decrease in the proportion of profits from lower tax jurisdictions for the period ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the period ended September 30, 2025.
Tax (benefits)/expenses recognized directly in the OCI primarily relates to tax effects on the changes in fair value of cash flow hedges.

20. Employee benefit plans
A. Impact of the New Labour Codes:
The Government of India has consolidated 29 existing labour legislations into a unified framework comprising four labour codes as follows: Code on Wages, 2019, Code on Social Security, 2020, Industrial Relations Code, 2020 and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code 2020 (collectively referred to as the “New Labour Codes”). The New Labour Codes are effective from November 21, 2025 and introduce changes that include, among other things, setting a uniform definition of wages. The New Labour Codes have implications on employee benefits including gratuity, leave encashment, and other related obligations.
The Company assessed the implications of the New Labour Codes and recognized an incremental cost of Rs.1,170 towards employee benefits during the year ended March 31, 2026. The Company continues to monitor the developments pertaining to the implementation of the New Labour Codes, including the related rules thereto, and the impact of these will be accounted in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
B. Gratuity benefits provided by the parent company
In accordance with applicable Indian laws, the Company has a defined benefit plan which provides for gratuity payments (the “Gratuity Plan”) and covers certain categories of employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum gratuity payment to eligible employees at retirement or termination of their employment. The amount of the payment is based on the respective employee’s last drawn salary and the years of employment with the Company. Effective September 1, 1999, the Company established the Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Gratuity Fund (the “Gratuity Fund”) to fund the Gratuity Plan. Liabilities in respect of the Gratuity Plan are determined by an actuarial valuation, based upon which the Company makes contributions to the Gratuity Fund. Trustees administer the contributions made to the Gratuity Fund. The liability/(asset) recorded by the parent company towards this obligation was Rs.(41) and Rs.(16) as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The Company made contributions of Rs.0 and Rs.1,844 to the Gratuity Fund during the six months ended September 30, 2026 and the year ended March 31, 2026, respectively.
C. Compensated absences
The Company provides for accumulation of compensated absences by certain categories of its employees. These employees can carry forward a portion of the unutilized compensated absences and utilize them in future periods or receive cash in lieu thereof as per the Company’s policy. The Company records a liability for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increases this entitlement. The total liability recorded by the Company towards this obligation was Rs.917 and Rs.1,018 as of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively.

(1) As of September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, there was Rs. 640 and Rs.641, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.05 years and 2.04 years, respectively.
(2) Certain of the Company’s employees are eligible to receive share based payment awards that are settled in cash. These awards vest only upon satisfaction of certain service conditions which range from 1 to 4 years. A category of these awards are also linked to the overall performance of the Company. These awards entitle the employees to a cash payment on the vesting date. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the share price of the Company at the time of vesting. As of September 30, 2026 and 2025, there was Rs.680 and Rs.691, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.72 years and 2.06 years, respectively. This scheme does not involve dealing in or subscribing to or purchasing securities of the Company, directly or indirectly.

23. Financial instruments (continued)
As of September 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the changes in counterparty credit risk had no material effect on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships and other financial instruments recognized at fair value.
Hedges of foreign currency exchange rate risks
The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk which arises from its foreign exchange revenues and expenses (primarily in U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds sterling, Russian roubles, Brazilian reals, Swiss francs, Euros, and Mexican pesos, and foreign currency debt (in Mexican pesos, U.S. dollars and Brazilian reals).
The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts, option contracts and swap contracts (derivative financial instruments) to mitigate its risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses non-derivative financial instruments such as borrowings as part of its foreign currency exposure risk mitigation strategy.
Hedges of changes in the interest rates
Consistent with its risk management policy, the Company uses interest rate swaps (including cross currency interest rate swaps) to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates. The Company does not use them for trading or speculative purposes. The Company does not have any long term borrowings.
Details of gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts
The following table presents details in respect of the gain/(loss) recognized in respect of derivative contracts to hedge highly probable forecast transactions during the applicable period ended:

24. Contingencies
The Company is involved in disputes, lawsuits, claims, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”), including patent and commercial matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Most of the claims involve complex issues. Often, these issues are subject to uncertainties and therefore the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and an estimate of the amount of any loss is often difficult to ascertain. Consequently, for a majority of these claims, it is not possible to make a reasonable estimate of the expected financial effect, if any, that will result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings. This is due to a number of factors, including: the stage of the proceedings (in many cases trial dates have not been set) and the overall length and extent of pre-trial discovery; the entitlement of the parties to an action to appeal a decision; clarity as to theories of liability; damages and governing law; uncertainties in timing of litigation; and the possible need for further legal proceedings to establish the appropriate amount of damages, if any. In these cases, the Company, based on internal and external legal advice, assesses the need to make a provision or discloses information with respect to the nature and facts of the case.
The Company also believes that disclosure of the amount sought by plaintiffs, if that is known, would not be meaningful with respect to those legal proceedings.
Although there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of any of the Legal Proceedings referred to in this Note, the Company does not expect them to have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as it believes that the likelihood of loss in excess of amounts accrued (if any) is not probable. However, if one or more of such Legal Proceedings were to result in judgments against the Company, such judgments could be material to its results of operations or cash flows in a given period.
Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended March 31, 2026 contains a summary of significant Legal Proceedings. The following is a summary, as of the date of the authorization of the interim financial statements (i.e., October 23, 2026), of significant developments in those proceedings as well as any new significant proceedings commenced since the date such Annual Report on Form 20-F was filed.
Fuel Surcharge Adjustments
The Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (the “APERC”) passed various orders approving the levy of Fuel Surcharge Adjustment (“FSA”) charges for the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2013 by power distribution companies upon all the consumers of electricity in the then existing undivided state of Andhra Pradesh, India, which is where the Company’s headquarters and principal manufacturing facilities are located. Separate writ petitions filed by the Company for various periods, challenging and questioning the validity and legality of this levy of FSA charges by the APERC, are pending before the High Court of Andhra Pradesh and the Supreme Court of India.
The total amount approved by APERC for collection by the power distribution companies from the Company in respect of FSA charges for the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2013 is Rs.482. After taking into account all of the available information and legal provisions, the Company has recorded Rs.219 as the potential liability towards FSA charges.
However, the Company has paid, under protest, an amount of Rs.354 as demanded by the power distribution companies as part of monthly electricity bills. The Company remains exposed to additional financial liability should the orders passed by the APERC be upheld by the Courts.
During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Supreme Court of India dismissed the Special Leave Petition filed by the Company in this regard for the period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. As a result, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized an expenditure of Rs.55 (by de-recognizing the payments under protest) representing the FSA charges for the period from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013.
The Hon’ble High Court of Telangana through its Order dated August 3, 2026 dismissed the Writ Petition with a direction that FSA for the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 shall not be enforced on any of the consumers of the four power distribution companies, until disposal of the special leave petitions pending before the Supreme Court and, for the rest of the quarters of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, the power distribution companies are free to collect the FSA, if not already collected.

United States Antitrust Multi-District Litigations
Since November 2016, the Generic Drug Price Fixing Antitrust Multi-District Litigation, MDL 2724 (the “MDL 2724”) has been pending in the United States District Court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A multi-district litigation or MDL is a U.S. legal proceeding in which all cases relating to the same subject and claims filed anywhere in the United States are sent and consolidated into one legal proceeding in a single U.S. court for purposes of all pretrial activities, such as discovery (including document production and depositions), motions and other legal proceedings. These legal proceedings are administered on a joint or consolidated basis up until trial and then, when all pretrial proceedings have been concluded, cases are sent back to the courts where they were originally filed (if not originally filed in the MDL District) for trial purposes.
All cases filed in the MDL 2724 encompass claims that certain generic drug manufacturers/sellers in the United States (and certain named individual defendants) engaged in a conspiracy, beginning approximately in the year 2009, to agree on the prices at which each generic drug would be sold, and also on the market shares and customers that each manufacturer would have for a generic drug. They include alleged violations of federal antitrust laws and of state consumer protection and antitrust laws of numerous jurisdictions, as well as claims of unjust enrichment.
As of the date of this report, there are approximately 250 plaintiffs having filed a total of 206 cases. The claims in all the cases encompass a total of 404 generic drugs sold during a period beginning approximately in the year 2009. The Company (through its U.S. subsidiary, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc.) is named specifically as a defendant with respect to 23 generic drugs that it sold during this period of time.
In addition, even though each defendant (including the Company) did not sell all the drugs encompassed by the claims, the plaintiffs assert that there was an “overarching conspiracy” among the generic manufacturers which encompassed an agreement and understanding throughout the industry that generic manufacturers would cooperate with each other on prices, customers and market shares on all generic drugs sold in the United States, and that each manufacturer would cooperate on the “fair share” conspiracy whenever it entered or sold a drug in a specific generic drug market. As a result of this alleged “overarching conspiracy” claim, the plaintiffs claim that each defendant (including the Company) is liable for not only the damages suffered with respect to the specific drugs that a defendant sold, but is also liable for all of the damages with respect to all of the drugs alleged in a case whether a manufacturer defendant sold that drug or not.
The plaintiffs seek “treble” damages (i.e., three times the actual damages sustained) of the claimed anticompetitive “overcharge” during the period 2009-2020 on the drugs at issue allegedly caused by the alleged conspiracies plus injunctive relief, and attorney’s fees and costs in the litigation. The plaintiffs also allege claims for disgorgement of alleged unjust enrichment of profits earned by each defendant, including the Company, and punitive damages as a result of the alleged violations. The plaintiffs in the cases fall into the following categories:
The Attorneys General of 49 U.S. States, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and Guam, which all allege that they were injured by the price fixing, customer allocation and bid rigging conspiracy in their general economies and that there were injuries suffered by consumers in their jurisdictions, seeking the disgorgement of improper profits on the generic drugs, and damages suffered by governmental agencies (such as government hospitals, agencies and prisons) that purchased generic drugs, encompassing a total of 129 generic drugs. The Company is named as to seven drugs. In addition, each of the plaintiffs seek to enforce their own state antitrust laws, which enable them to impose fines on a defendant in addition to seeking treble damages and disgorgement of alleged unjust enrichment from each defendant;
Class actions on behalf of all companies that directly purchased generic drugs from one or more of the defendants during a period beginning approximately in the year 2009 (the “Direct Purchaser Plaintiff” Class or “DPP” Class). This class action consists of all wholesaler/distributors, group purchasing organizations, and large pharmacies and retailers who purchased directly from one or more defendants. These claims encompass 148 drugs, of which the Company sold 11 drugs;

United States Antitrust Multi-District Litigations (continued)
Class actions on behalf of all companies that indirectly purchased generic drug and resold them during a period beginning approximately in the year 2009 (the “Indirect Reseller Plaintiff” Class or “IRP” Class). This class consists of all pharmacies and retailers that purchased generic drugs from a wholesaler/distributor and resold the drugs. These claims encompass 179 generic drugs, of which the Company sold 20 drugs;
Class actions on behalf of all companies and consumers that were end payers for the purchase of generic drugs by consumers (the “End Payer Plaintiff Class” or “EPP” Class). This class consists of all health care plans, insurance companies and union welfare funds that paid for generic drugs purchased by their members (consumers). These claims encompass 152 generic drugs, of which the Company sold 12 drugs; and
Approximately 200 individual companies (which have opted out of the class actions), consisting of pharmacy retailers, health insurers, self-insured health plan employers, hospitals, counties and other local governmental agencies, (the “Direct Action Plaintiffs” or “DAPs”) have individually filed complaints and alleged claims. These claims encompass a total of more than 400 drugs, of which the Company sold 23 drugs.
All complaints in the MDL 2724 are being simultaneously litigated together, on a consolidated basis, for all discovery and pre-trial purposes, except the Attorneys General Cases which were remanded back to the District of Connecticut and will no longer be included in the MDL 2724 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Discovery is still proceeding. The first three cases that have been designated for the first trials in the MDL 2724 (the so-called “bellwether” cases) do not involve the Company’s U.S. subsidiary as a defendant. These bellwether cases encompass claims by the DPPs and EPPs as to two specific drugs that were not sold by the Company’s U.S. subsidiary and claims by the Attorney Generals as to approximately 80 topical drugs and creams that were not sold by the Company’s U.S. subsidiary. The trials in these bellwether cases are anticipated to occur in 2027.
A second round of six bellwether cases have been selected which are expected to be tried in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. They include: (i) three cases encompassing a single drug that does not involve the Company’s U.S. subsidiary as a defendant; (ii) a case by the Attorneys General encompassing 15 drugs in which the Company’s U.S. subsidiary is named as to two drugs (meprobamate and zoledronic acid) which will likely be scheduled for trial for late 2027 or 2028; (iii) a case brought by Humana, Inc., encompassing 15 drugs in which the Company’s U.S. subsidiary is named as to one drug (divalproex), which was settled in August 2026 without any admission of liability or wrongdoing, and the settlement amount has been recognized in these interim financial statements; and (iv) a case brought by CVS Pharmacy, Inc., for which the specific drugs and defendants to be included has not yet been determined by the Court, but which may include the Company’s U.S. subsidiary, and which is scheduled for trial in late 2028. In all of the cases, the plaintiffs seek joint and several liability for the claimed damages (including claimed treble damages) and state civil penalties encompassing the drugs that the Company’s U.S. subsidiary sold, plus joint and several liability for the claimed damages (including claimed treble damages) and state civil penalties suffered on all of the drugs in the cases based on the allegation of participation in an industry-wide “overarching conspiracy.”
In addition to the cases filed in the MDL 2724, approximately 150 companies (consisting primarily of health insurers, and health plans) have filed three praecipe of actions in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, against 52 generic drug companies, including the Company’s U.S. subsidiary, giving notice of potential, unspecified antitrust claims against the named defendants. These praecipes of actions have been stayed pending the developments and potential completion of the cases in the MDL 2724.
The Company believes that all of the aforesaid complaints and asserted claims are without merit and it denies any wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. Any liability that may arise on account of these claims is unascertainable at this time. Accordingly, no provision was made in these interim financial statements.

Revlimid® Antitrust Litigation
In 2023 and 2024, three lawsuits were filed against Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (“DRL Inc.”) and/or Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. (“DRL Ltd.” and together with DRL Inc., “DRL”), and three additional groups of plaintiffs sought to add DRL to their pending actions and/or through additional lawsuits, in federal court in New Jersey concerning the drug product Revlimid® and generic equivalents. Litigation has been pending in that court since at least 2019 by various plaintiffs asserting antitrust claims and similar claims against Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”) related to Revlimid®, In re Revlimid & Thalomid Purchaser Antitrust Litigation, C.A. No. 19-cv-07532 (D.N.J.) (“In re Revlimid action”). Starting in 2022, certain plaintiffs also filed lawsuits in this litigation against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. (“Teva”) and Natco Pharma Limited (“Natco”) as well. Then, in 2023, plaintiffs Mayo Clinic and LifePoint Corporate Services, General Partnership filed a complaint against DRL Inc. as well as defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva (C.A. No. 23-cv-22321 (D.N.J.)). In a second lawsuit in 2023 (C.A. No. 23-cv-22117 (D.N.J.)), plaintiff Intermountain Health, Inc. filed a complaint against DRL Inc. and the same group of defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva (Mayo Clinic, LifePoint Corporate Services, General Partnership, and Intermountain Health, Inc., together, the “Hospital Plaintiffs”). The Hospital Plaintiffs have subsequently added DRL Ltd. as a defendant to their lawsuits. In a third lawsuit, filed in 2024 (C.A. No. 24-cv-00379 (D.N.J.)), plaintiffs Walgreen Co., Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, Inc., and CVS Pharmacy Inc. (together, the “Retailer Plaintiffs”), who previously had sued Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva, filed an additional complaint against DRL Inc. and DRL Ltd. The Hospital Plaintiffs’ and Retailer Plaintiffs’ actions against DRL have been consolidated with the In re Revlimid action. Subsequently, through amended complaints, three additional groups of plaintiffs have sought to add DRL as a defendant in their already pending lawsuits previously consolidated into the In re Revlimid action. The first such plaintiff is United Healthcare Services, Inc. (“United”) (C.A. No. 20-cv-18531 (D.N.J.)).
The second such group of plaintiffs is composed of Cigna Corp., Humana Inc., Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Health Care Service Corporation, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc., and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (C.A. Nos. 19-cv-07532 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-11686 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-10187 (D.N.J.), 21-cv-06668 (D.N.J.), and 22-cv-04561(D.N.J.)) (together, the “Insurer Plaintiffs”). The third such group of plaintiffs is composed of Jacksonville Police Officers and Fire Fighters Health Insurance Trust, Carpenters and Joiners Welfare Fund, Teamsters Local 237 Welfare Fund and Teamsters Local 237 Retirees’ Benefit Fund, and Teamsters Western Region and New Jersey Health Care Fund, who bring their claims on behalf of a purported class of end-payors of Revlimid® and generic equivalents (C.A. No. 22-cv-06694 (D.N.J.)) (the “EPP Plaintiffs”).
The allegations brought by the Hospital Plaintiffs, the Retailer Plaintiffs, United, the Insurer Plaintiffs, and the EPP Plaintiffs (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) against DRL in these cases are similar: they allege that the patent settlement agreement among DRL, Celgene and BMS concerning Revlimid® violated federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws by improperly delaying generic entry of Revlimid® through 2022 and then limiting generic competition of Revlimid® through 2026. The Plaintiffs’ claims against DRL are also substantially similar to the claims these plaintiffs have brought against defendants Celgene, BMS, Natco, and Teva.
Each of these lawsuits naming DRL as a defendant have been consolidated with the ongoing In re Revlimid action. On June 6, 2024, the court issued an order on the pending motions to dismiss filed by other defendants, in which the court dismissed all claims at issue in that motion, including claims challenging the patent settlement agreements. The order allowed plaintiffs to file amended complaints. On August 5, 2024, all Plaintiffs filed amended complaints, including the amended complaints filed by United, Insurer Plaintiffs, and EPP Plaintiffs, described above, which sought to add DRL as a defendant in those actions for the first time. On October 7, 2024, DRL and all other defendants to the In re Revlimid action filed motions to dismiss each of Plaintiffs’ lawsuits in their entirety. On September 29, 2026, the Court issued a partial ruling on the motions to dismiss. The Court denied the motions as they relate to the settlement agreement between Celgene and Natco. The Court’s ruling did not address the claims against any other defendants, including the Company, but the Court did indicate that the remaining arguments in the motions would be addressed at a future date. For now, discovery remains stayed.
On December 16, 2024, several of the Insurer Plaintiffs also filed substantially similar complaints to those already pending in the In re Revlimid action against DRL, Natco, Teva, and AbbVie Inc. (C.A. Nos. 24-cv-11168 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11169 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11176 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-1121 (D.N.J.); 24-cv-11230 (D.N.J.)) (the “Standalone Actions”). On January 13, 2025, DRL and all other defendants to the Standalone Actions filed a letter requesting the court that they be allowed to brief a motion to dismiss the Standalone Actions, including for substantially the same reasons already briefed in the motion to dismiss the claims raised in the In re Revlimid action.
On May 5, 2025, the cases were reassigned from Judge Esther Salas to Judge Michael Farbiarz, also of the District of New Jersey. A trial date has not been set.

The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. Any liability that may arise on account of this litigation is unascertainable. Accordingly, no provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements of the Company
Indirect taxes related matters
Field tax audit:
During the year ended March 31, 2026, based on a final order received from the Federal Tax Service authority in respect of one of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company had recorded a VAT provision of Rs. 1,836 (including provision of Rs.1,141 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026) under “Selling, general and administrative expenses” including applicable interest and penalties and covering the periods both under audit as well as subsequent period up to March 31, 2026.
The Company believes that the likelihood of any further liability that may arise on account of this field tax audit is not probable. This transaction pertains to the Company’s Global Generics segment.
Goods and Services Tax matters:
a. In January 2020, the Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax, India issued notices alleging that the Company has improperly claimed an input tax credit of Rs.307. The Company then received an order from the Additional Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax in favor of the Company’s right to claim such input tax credit. Subsequently the tax authorities filed an appeal against the favorable order with the Commissioner of Goods and Services Tax (Appeals). The Commissioner of Goods and Service Tax (Appeals) passed an order rejecting the Company’s right to claim such input tax credit. The Company filed an appeal against such order before the Hon’ble High Court of Telangana.
Pursuant to the constitution of the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (“GSTAT”), which is the designated appellate authority under the GST law, the Company has withdrawn the appeal pending before the Hon’ble High Court of Telangana and has filed an appeal before GSTAT.
The Company believes that it has correctly distributed and claimed the input tax credit within the provisions of applicable laws and hence no additional liability will accrue in this regard.
b. In February 2022, the Company paid under protest an amount of Rs.123 towards a GST reverse charge. In January 2025, the Additional Commissioner of GST passed an order confirming the demand as per the show-cause notice dated July 5, 2024. Aggrieved by the order, the Company filed an appeal before the first appellate authority. The appellate authority passed an order on February 27, 2026 sustaining the demand confirmed by the Additional Commissioner of GST.
The Company has filed the appeal in this regard before the GSTAT and believes the demand in such order is not enforceable and the likelihood of any liability is not probable.
Additionally, the Company is in receipt of various demand notices from the Indian Sales and Service Tax authorities. The total disputed amount is Rs.451. The Company has responded to such demand notices and believes that the chances of any liability arising from such notices are not probable. Accordingly, no provision is made in these interim financial statements as of September 30, 2026.
Others
Additionally, the Company is involved in other disputes, lawsuits, claims, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, including patent and commercial matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Except as discussed above, the Company does not believe that there are any such contingent liabilities that are expected to have any material adverse effect on its interim financial statements.

25. Geopolitical Conflicts
The Company considered the uncertainties relating to ongoing geopolitical instability and armed conflicts and hostilities (including in Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East) in assessing the recoverability of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. The outcome of these conflicts is difficult to predict, and any of them could have an adverse impact on the macroeconomic environment. Management has considered all potential impacts of these conflicts, including adherence to global sanctions and other restrictive measures against Russia and any retaliatory actions taken by Russia as well as disruptions in global trade routes and transportation infrastructure arising from ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. For this purpose, the Company considered internal and external sources of information up to the date of authorization of these interim financial statements (i.e., October 23, 2026).
Based on its judgments, estimates and assumptions expects to fully recover the carrying amount of receivables, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. Accordingly, during the three months ended September 30, 2026, the impact of such instability, conflicts and disruptions on the Company’s operations and financial condition was not material. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future geopolitical and economic conditions.
26. Regulatory Inspection of facilities

Segment Analysis
Global Generics
Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.77,927 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of 1% as compared to Rs.78,498 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily on account of a decline in revenues from North America (the United States and Canada), which was partially offset by an increase in three of four business geographies of this segment: “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including Brazil, South Africa, Colombia, Vietnam and China), India and Europe (which also includes the global portfolio outside of the United States of consumer brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category acquired from Haleon UK (the “NRT business”).
Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the decrease was primarily attributable to the following factors:
a decrease of approximately 12% resulting from the net impact of changes in sales prices of certain of our existing products in this segment;
a decrease of approximately 6% resulting from the net impact of changes in sales volumes of certain of our existing products in this segment; and
the foregoing was largely offset by
an increase of approximately 10% resulting from additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026; and
an increase of approximately 1% resulting from additional revenues from acquisitions between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026.
North America (the United States and Canada): Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from North America were Rs.24,890 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of 23% as compared to Rs.32,408 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues decreased by 29% in the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily on account of a net decrease in sales prices and volumes of certain existing products.
42
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we launched six new products in North America, all of which were launched in the United States.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, five new ANDAs and no new NDAs were filed with the U.S. FDA. As of September 30, 2026, we had 80 filings pending approval with the U.S. FDA, which includes 77 ANDAs and 3 NDAs filed under section 505(b)(2). Out of these 77 ANDA filings, 46 are Paragraph IV filings and we believe we are the first to file with respect to 27 of these filings.
Europe: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Europe were primarily derived from Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, and Italy as well as the NRT business. Such revenues from Europe were Rs.13,935 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 1% as compared to Rs.13,761 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the revenues from Europe for the three months ended September 30, 2026 decreased as compared to the revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily on account of a net decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we launched six new generic products in Europe.
India: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from India for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were Rs. 18,508 million, an increase of 17% as compared to Rs.15,780 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was largely attributable to increases in sales prices and volumes of certain of our existing products and additional revenues from new products launched and acquisitions between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we launched four new brands in India.
According to IQVIA, in its report for the three months ended September 30, 2026, our secondary sales in India grew by 21.0% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market’s growth of 14.7%.
Emerging Markets: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including Brazil, South Africa, Colombia, Vietnam and China) for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were Rs. 20,595 million, an increase of 24% as compared to Rs.16,548 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was primarily attributable to additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we launched 27 new products across geographies in Emerging Markets.
Russia: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were Rs.10,084 million, an increase of 15% as compared to Rs.8,747 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by 3%. The increase in revenues was primarily on account of a net increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products and additional revenues from acquisitions between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026, partially offset by a net decrease in sales prices of certain of our existing products. Our over-the-counter (“OTC”) division’s revenues from Russia for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were 53% of our total revenues from Russia.
43
According to IQVIA, as per its report for the three months ended August 31, 2026, our sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market sales value (in Russian roubles) growth and volume growth was as follows:

Other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from other countries of the former Soviet Union and Romania were Rs.2,640 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 13% as compared to Rs.2,342 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was largely attributable to favorable currency exchange rate fluctuations.
“Rest of the World” Markets: We refer to all markets of this segment other than North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and India as our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.7,871 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 44% as compared to Rs.5,460 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the increase was largely attributable to additional revenues from new products launched between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026.
Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)
Our PSAI segment’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were Rs.8,310 million, a decrease of 12% as compared to Rs.9,450 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026 declined primarily on account of a net decrease in sales volumes of certain of our existing products.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, two new U.S. Drug Master Files (“DMFs”) were filed.

Gross Profit
Our total gross profit was Rs.45,204 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, representing 52.1% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.48,140 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing 54.7% of our revenues for that period.
The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, our gross profits by segment:

The gross profit margin from our Global Generics segment decreased to 56.2% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from 59.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily on account of price erosion in certain existing products and unfavorable changes in our product mix (i.e., a decrease in the proportion of profits from products with higher profit margins and an increase in the proportion from products with lower profit margins during the three months ended September 30, 2026).
The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment decreased to 11.8% of this segment’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026, from 18.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily on account of higher manufacturing overheads.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.28,075 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 6% as compared to Rs.26,436 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was largely attributable to the following:
a 4% increase due to higher personnel costs, primarily on account of annual raises and new hires;
a 4% increase due to higher freight outwards expenses, primarily on account of an impact arising from geo-political disruptions;
the foregoing was partially offset by
a 2% decrease due to lower spending on sales and marketing, legal and professional and other costs.
As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 32.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 from 30.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
45
Research and development expenses
Our research and development expenses were Rs.5,235 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of 16% as compared to Rs.6,202 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily on account of lower developmental expenditures on certain projects for our generics businesses.
As a proportion of our total revenues, our research and development expenses decreased to 6.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 7.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Impairment of non-current assets
Our impairment of non-current assets was a charge of Rs.123 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to Rs.662 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Other income, net
Our net other income was Rs.912 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to Rs.2,673 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Finance income, net
Our net finance expense was Rs.329 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to net finance income of Rs.774 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease in net finance income was due to the following:
a decrease in fair value changes and profit on sale of units of mutual funds and other investments to Rs.128 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to Rs.547 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025;
net foreign exchange loss of Rs.170 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to net foreign exchange gain of Rs.222 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025; and
net interest expense of Rs.287 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to net interest income of Rs.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Segment Analysis
Global Generics
Revenues from our Global Generics segment were Rs.149,920 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of 3% as compared to Rs.154,118 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily on account of a decline in revenues from North America (the United States and Canada), which was partially offset by an increase in three of four business geographies of this segment: “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries from our “Rest of the World” markets, including Brazil, South Africa, Colombia, Vietnam and China), India and Europe (which also includes the global portfolio outside of the United States of consumer brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category acquired from Haleon UK (the “NRT business”).
47
Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the foregoing decrease in revenues of this segment was attributable to the following factors:
a decrease of approximately 14% resulting from the net impact of changes in sales prices of certain of our existing products in this segment; and
a decrease of approximately 7% resulting from the net impact of changes in sales volumes of certain of our existing products;
the foregoing was partially offset by
an increase of approximately 9% resulting from additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026; and
an increase of approximately 1% resulting from acquisitions between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026.
North America (the United States and Canada): Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from North America (the United States and Canada) were Rs.46,938 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of 29% as compared to Rs.66,531 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. In U.S. dollar absolute currency terms (i.e., U.S. dollars without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues decreased by 35% in the six months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease in revenues was largely attributable to a decrease in sales prices and volumes of certain of our existing products, partially offset by additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026.
During the six months ended September 30, 2026, we launched 12 new products in North America (the United States and Canada), of which nine were launched in the United States.
Europe: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Europe were Rs.28,375 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 7% as compared to Rs.26,505 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against the currencies in the markets in which we operate, the revenues from Europe for the six months ended September 30, 2026 decreased as compared to the revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was largely attributable to the decrease in the sales prices of certain of our existing products.
During the six months ended September 30, 2026, we launched 30 new generic products in Europe.
India: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from India were Rs.35,684 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 17% as compared to Rs.30,491 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was largely attributable to increases in sales prices and volumes of certain of our existing products and additional revenues from new products launched and acquisitions between July 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026. During the six months ended September 30, 2026, we launched 11 new brands in India.
According to IQVIA in its Moving Annual Total report for the twelve months ended September 30, 2026, our secondary sales in India grew by 19.4% during such period, as compared to the India pharmaceutical market’s growth of 13.2%.
Emerging Markets: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from “Emerging Markets” (which is comprised of Russia, other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania and certain other countries which we refer to as our “Rest of the World” markets, including Brazil, South Africa, Colombia, Vietnam and China) for the six months ended September 30, 2026 were Rs.38,923 million, an increase of 27% as compared to Rs.30,590 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this increase was primarily attributable to additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026.
Russia: Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from Russia for the six months ended September 30, 2026 were Rs.19,117 million, an increase of 21% as compared to Rs.15,828 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. In Russian rouble absolute currency terms (i.e., Russian roubles without taking into account the effect of currency exchange rates), such revenues increased by 2%. The increase in revenues was primarily on account of a net increase in sales prices of certain of our existing products. Our OTC division’s revenues from Russia for the six months ended September 30, 2026 were 47% of our total revenues from Russia.
According to IQVIA, as per its report for the five months ended August 31, 2026, our sales value growth (in Russian roubles) and volume growth from Russia, as compared to the Russian pharmaceutical market, was as follows:

This increase was largely attributable to favorable currency exchange rate fluctuations.
48
“Rest of the World” Markets: We refer to all markets of this segment other than North America (the United States and Canada), Europe, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union, Romania, and India, as our “Rest of the World” markets. Our Global Generics segment’s revenues from our “Rest of the World” markets were Rs.14,975 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 43% as compared to Rs.10,467 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, the increase was largely attributable to additional revenues from new products launched between July 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026.
Pharmaceutical Services and Active Ingredients (“PSAI”)
Our PSAI segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2026 were Rs.16,829 million, a decrease of 5% as compared to Rs.17,631 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations of the Indian rupee against multiple currencies in the markets in which we operate, this decrease was largely attributable to the net decreases in sales volumes of certain of our existing products.
Gross Profit
Our total gross profit was Rs.82,744 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, representing 49.4% of our revenues for that period, as compared to Rs.96,767 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, representing 55.8% of our revenues for that period.
The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, our gross profits by segment:

The gross profit margin from our Global Generics segment decreased to 54.0% of this segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2026, from 60.0% of this segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was mainly on account of price erosion in certain existing products and unfavorable changes in our product mix (i.e., a decrease in the proportion of profits from products with higher profit margins and an increase in the proportion from products with lower profit margins). The margin for the six months ended September 30, 2026 was further impacted by a provision towards inventory and other associated costs related to semaglutide (as described in Note 7 of these interim financial statements).
The gross profit margin from our PSAI segment decreased to 8.1% of this segment’s revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2026, from 15.8% for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily on account of higher manufacturing overheads. The margin for the six months ended September 30, 2026 was impacted by a provision towards inventory and other associated costs related to semaglutide (as described in Note 7 of these interim financial statements).
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses were Rs.56,895 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of 9% as compared to Rs.52,083 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. This increase was largely attributable to the following:
a 5% increase due to higher personnel costs, primarily on account of annual raises;
a 3% increase due to higher freight outwards expenses; and
a 1% increase due to higher other cost, including depreciation and amortization expenses.
As a proportion of our total revenues, our selling, general and administrative expenses were 34.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 30.0% for the six months ended September 30, 2025.

This decrease was primarily on account of lower developmental expenditure on certain projects for our generic business.
Impairment of non-current assets
Our impairment of non-current assets charge was Rs.138 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to Rs.662 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. (Refer to Note 9 and Note 11 of the interim financial statements in this report for further details).

ITEM 3. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have primarily financed our operations through cash flows generated from operations and a mix of long-term and short-term borrowings. Our principal liquidity and capital needs are for the purchase of property, plant and equipment, regular business operations and research and development. Our principal sources of short-term liquidity are internally generated funds and short-term borrowings, which we believe are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, in both the short term (i.e., the 12 months following the period ended September 30, 2026) and the long term (i.e., beyond such 12-month period).
As of September 30, 2026, we had working capital of Rs.143,084 million, including cash and cash equivalents of Rs.13,294 million, investments in term deposits with banks, bonds and commercial papers of Rs.34,551 million and investments in units of mutual funds of Rs.28,397 million. As of March 31, 2026, we had working capital of Rs.134,409 million, including cash and cash equivalents of Rs.15,368 million, investments in term deposits with banks, bonds and commercial papers of Rs.36,534 million and investments in units of mutual funds of Rs.35,912 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The net result of our operating activities was a net cash inflow of Rs.4,357 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to a net cash inflow of Rs.30,202 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Accordingly, our net cash inflow decreased by Rs.25,845 million during the six months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in our profit after tax and an increase in our working capital requirements as described below.
The increase in our working capital requirements was due to an increase in other assets and other liabilities, net by Rs.13,741 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to an increase in other assets and other liabilities, net of Rs.3,718 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025. Such difference in the increase was primarily on account of a payment towards a shelf stock adjustment claim, other liabilities linked to volume-based arrangements, the payment of amounts due to government authorities and an increase in balances with statutory authorities.
For the six months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, our profit after tax was Rs.13,482 million and Rs.28,364 million, respectively.
