Segmental capital employed

The definitive agreement for the acquisition of this NRT Business from Haleon includes the transfer of intellectual property, employees, agreements with commercial manufacturing organization, marketing authorizations and other assets relating to the commercialization of four brands - i.e., Nicotinell, Nicabate, Thrive, and Habitrol. The acquisition is inclusive of all formats such as lozenge, patch, spray and/or gum in all applicable global markets outside of the United States.

The closing conditions were met, and the transaction was completed on 30 September 2024.

   
 

Upon Completion, the company acquired the shares of Northstar Switzerland SARL from Haleon for an upfront cash payment of Rs.51,407 million (GBP 458 million). An additional consideration of up to Rs.4,714 million (GBP 42 million) is payable which is contingent upon achieving agreed-upon sales targets in Calender years 2024 and 2025, bringing the total potential consideration to Rs.56,121 million (GBP 500 million).

 

The Company completed the provisional allocation of purchase price. The fair value of consideration transferred is Rs.55,897 million (GBP 498 million). Based on fair valuation, the Company recognised Intangibles (Brands) of Rs.54,920 million (GBP 488.80 million), Deferred tax liabilities of Rs.8,469 million (GBP 75.45 million) and Goodwill of Rs.7,249 million (GBP 64.58 million). This acquisition pertains to the Company’s Global Generics segment.

Upon maturity, hedge gain of Rs. 2,197 million (GBP 20 million) was reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserves and has been adjusted in consideration paid upon closing of the transaction.

 

Acquisition related costs amounting to Rs.1,017 and Rs.280 were recognised as expenses under “Selling, general and administrative expenses” during the nine months ended 31 December 2024 and the year ended 31 March 2024, respectively.

During transition period, Haleon group will provide distribution and related services in the markets, facilitating successful integration of the business across various geographies into the Company.

 

The amount of revenue and profit before tax (derived after amortisation of NRT brands and integration expense) pertaining to the business acquired from Haleon since the acquisition date (i.e., September 30, 2024) was Rs.6,049 (GBP 56.3 million) and Rs.1,240 ( GBP 11.3 million) respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

The Company received an anonymous complaint in September 2020, alleging that healthcare professionals in Ukraine and potentially in other countries were provided with improper payments by or on behalf of the Company in violation of U.S. anti-corruption laws, specifically the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company disclosed the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Securities Exchange Board of India. The Company engaged a U.S. law firm to conduct the investigation at the instruction of a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On 6 July 2021, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC for the production of related documents, which were provided to the SEC.

 

The Company has continued to engage with the SEC and DOJ, including through submissions and presentations regarding the initial complaint and additional complaints relating to other markets, and in relation to its Global Compliance Framework, which includes enhancement initiatives undertaken by the Company, and the Company is complying with its listing obligations as it relates to updating the regulatory agencies. While the findings from the aforesaid investigations could result in government or regulatory enforcement actions against the Company in the United States and/or foreign jurisdictions and can also lead to civil and criminal sanctions under relevant laws, the outcomes, including liabilities, are not reasonably ascertainable at this time.

   
10 The Company considered the uncertainties relating to the escalation of conflict in the middle east, and duration of military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in assessing the recoverability of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. For this purpose, the Company considered internal and external sources of information up to the date of approval of these financial results. Based on its judgments, estimates and assumptions, the Company expects to fully recover the carrying amount of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.
   
11

The Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 27 July 2024 have approved the sub-division/ split of each equity share having a face value of Rupees five each, fully paid-up, into five equity shares having a face value of Rupee One each, fully paid-up (the “stock split”), by alteration of the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. Further, each American Depositary Share (ADS) of the Company will continue to represent one underlying equity share as at present and, therefore, the number of ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt(ADR) holder would consequently increase in proportion to the increase in number of equity shares.

 

On 12 September 2024, the approval of the shareholders of the Company was obtained through a postal ballot process with a requisite majority.

 

Consequently w.e.f. record date of 28 October 2024, the authorized share capital, the paid up share capital and the treasury shares were sub-divided into five equity shares having a face value of Rupee One each. As on 31 December 2024, the closing number of shares fully paid up and treasury shares were 834,424,050 and 1,302,980 respectively.

 

Post stock split, the number of each stock option vested and unvested and not exercised as on the record date were sub-divided into five options and the exercise price was proportionately adjusted.

 

The effect of stock split was considered in the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2024 and prior periods have been restated considering face value of Rupee One each in accordance with IAS 33- “Earnings per Share” and rounded off to the nearest decimals.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended

 

Review Report to

The Board of Directors

Dr Reddy’s Laboratories Limited

 

1.We have reviewed the accompanying ’Statement of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2024’ (the “Statement”) of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited (the “Holding Company”) and its subsidiaries (the Holding Company and its subsidiaries together referred to as “the Group”), its associates and joint ventures attached herewith, being submitted by the Holding Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the “Listing Regulations”).

 

2.The Holding Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the Statement in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34) “Interim Financial Reporting” prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Statement has been approved by the Holding Company’s Board of Directors . Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

 

3.We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

We also performed procedures in accordance with the Master Circular issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations, to the extent applicable.

Segmental capital employed

As certain assets of the Company including manufacturing facilities, development facilities and treasury assets and liabilities are often deployed interchangeably across segments, it is impractical to allocate these assets and liabilities to each segment. Hence, the details for capital employed have not been disclosed in the above table.

 

Notes:

1The above statement of unaudited consolidated financial results of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited (“the Company”), which have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards (“Ind AS”) prescribed under section 133 of Companies Act,2013 (“the Act”) read with relevant rules issues thereunder, other accounting principles generally accepted in India and guidelines issues by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) were reviewed and recommended by Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors at their meetings held on 23 January 2025.

5“Impairment of non-current assets, net” during the nine months ended 31 December 2024 includes an amount of Rs.907 million pertaining to Haloette® (a generic equivalent to Nuvaring®), a product-related intangible, due to constraints on procurement of the underlying product from its contract manufacturer, resulting in a lower recoverable value compared to the carrying value.

6Pursuant to the amendment in The Finance Act 2024, resulting in withdrawal of indexation benefit on long-term capital gain, the Company has written off Deferred Tax Asset amounting to Rs. 482 million, created in earlier periods on land, during the nine months ended 31 December 2024.

 

7The Company received an anonymous complaint in September 2020, alleging that healthcare professionals in Ukraine and potentially in other countries were provided with improper payments by or on behalf of the Company in violation of U.S. anti-corruption laws, specifically the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company disclosed the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Securities Exchange Board of India. The Company engaged a U.S. law firm to conduct the investigation at the instruction of a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On 6 July 2021, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC for the production of related documents, which were provided to the SEC.

 

The Company has continued to engage with the SEC and DOJ, including through submissions and presentations regarding the initial complaint and additional complaints relating to other markets, and in relation to its Global Compliance Framework, which includes enhancement initiatives undertaken by the Company, and the Company is complying with its listing obligations as it relates to updating the regulatory agencies. While the findings from the aforesaid investigations could result in government or regulatory enforcement actions against the Company in the United States and/or foreign jurisdictions and can also lead to civil and criminal sanctions under relevant laws, the outcomes, including liabilities, are not reasonably ascertainable at this time.

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

DR. REDDY’S LABORATORIES LIMITED

 

8On 25 April 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Nestlé India Limited (“Nestlé India”) for the manufacturing, development, promotion, marketing, sale, distribution, and commercialization of nutraceutical products and supplements in India, as well as other mutually agreed geographies. These operations will be carried out by Dr. Reddy’s Nutraceuticals Limited, established on 14 March 2024. The entity was later renamed as Dr. Reddy’s and Nestlé Health Science Limited (the “Nutraceuticals subsidiary”) on 13 June 2024.

 

Upon completion of the closing conditions, the transaction concluded on 01 August 2024. Consequently, the Company has made an additional investment of Rs.7,340 million in its Nutraceuticals subsidiary, with corresponding infusion from Nestlé India amounting to Rs.7,056 million resulting in a revised shareholding pattern of 51:49 between the Company and Nestlé India. Subsequently, Nutraceuticals subsidiary had purchased the portfolio of nutraceutical products and supplements from Nestlé India for a consideration of Rs.2,231 million. The acquired portfolio consists of Product licenses, sales and marketing teams, contract manufacturers and employees. Based on fair valuation, the company had allocated purchase consideration and recognized Product licenses and other intangibles of Rs.1,982 million, property, plant and equipment and current assets of Rs.43 million and Goodwill of Rs.207 million.

 

Upon Closing, the Company had also transferred its nutraceuticals and supplements portfolio to the Nutraceuticals subsidiary as a common control transfer of business. This acquisition pertains to the Company’s Global Generics segment.

 

Profit after tax attributable to Non-controlling interest for nine months ended 31 December 2024, has arisen primarily on recognition of deferred tax asset on account of transfer of business from parent company to Nutraceuticals subsidiary. As at 31 December 2024, share of 49% held by Nestlé India is recorded under Non-controlling interest of Rs.3,844 million.

 

9Business purchase agreement with Haleon:

On 26 June 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreement with Haleon UK Enterprises Limited (“Haleon”) to acquire Haleon’s global portfolio outside of the United States of consumer healthcare brands in the Nicotine Replacement Therapy category (“NRT Business”).

 

The definitive agreement for the acquisition of this NRT Business from Haleon includes the transfer of intellectual property, employees, agreements with commercial manufacturing organization, marketing authorizations and other assets relating to the commercialization of four brands - i.e., Nicotinell, Nicabate, Thrive, and Habitrol. The acquisition is inclusive of all formats such as lozenge, patch, spray and/or gum in all applicable global markets outside of the United States.

 

The closing conditions were met, and the transaction was completed on 30 September 2024.

 

Upon Completion, the company acquired the shares of Northstar Switzerland SARL from Haleon for an upfront cash payment of Rs.51,407 million (GBP 458 million). An additional consideration of up to Rs.4,714 million (GBP 42 million) is payable which is contingent upon achieving agreed-upon sales targets in Calender years 2024 and 2025, bringing the total potential consideration to Rs.56,121 million (GBP 500 million).

 

The Company completed the provisional allocation of purchase price. The fair value of consideration transferred is Rs.55,897 million (GBP 498 million). Based on fair valuation, the Company recognised Intangibles (Brands) of Rs.54,920 million (GBP 488.80 million), Deferred tax liabilities of Rs.8,469 million (GBP 75.45 million) and Goodwill of Rs.7,249 million (GBP 64.58 million). This acquisition pertains to the Company’s Global Generics segment.

 

Further, The company executed a forward exchange contract to hedge its exposure to the payment made in GBP. Upon maturity, hedge gain of Rs. 2,197 million (GBP 20 million) was reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserves and has been adjusted in consideration paid upon closing of the transaction.

 

Acquisition related costs amounting to Rs.1,017 and Rs.280 were recognised as expenses under “Other expenses” during the nine months ended 31 December 2024 and the year ended 31 March 2024, respectively.

 

This marketing authorisation will transition gradually into the Company in a phased approach between April 2025 and February 2026. During transition period, Haleon group will provide distribution and related services in the markets, facilitating successful integration of the business across various geographies into the Company.

 

The amount of revenue and profit before tax (derived after amortisation of NRT brands and integration expense) pertaining to the business acquired from Haleon since the acquisition date (i.e., September 30, 2024) was Rs.6,049 (GBP 56.3 million) and Rs.1,240 ( GBP 11.3 million) respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2024.

 

10The Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 27 July 2024 have approved the sub-division/ split of each equity share having a face value of Rupees five each, fully paid-up, into five equity shares having a face value of Rupee One each, fully paid-up (the “stock split”), by alteration of the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. Further, each American Depositary Share (ADS) of the Company will continue to represent one underlying equity share as at present and, therefore, the number of ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt(ADR) holder would consequently increase in proportion to the increase in number of equity shares.

 

On 12 September 2024, the approval of the shareholders of the Company was obtained through a postal ballot process with a requisite majority.

 

Consequently w.e.f. record date of 28 October 2024, the authorized share capital, the paid up share capital and the treasury shares were sub-divided into five equity shares having a face value of Rupee One each. As on 31 December 2024, the closing number of shares fully paid up and treasury shares were 834,423,960 and 1,302,980 respectively.

 

Post stock split, the number of each stock option vested and unvested and not exercised as on the record date were sub-divided into five options and the exercise price was proportionately adjusted.

 

The effect of stock split was considered in the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2024 and prior periods have been restated considering face value of Rupee One each in accordance with Ind AS 33- “Earnings per Share” and rounded off to the nearest decimals.

 

11The Company considered the uncertainties relating to the escalation of conflict in the middle east, and duration of military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in assessing the recoverability of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. For this purpose, the Company considered internal and external sources of information up to the date of approval of these financial results. Based on its judgments, estimates and assumptions, the Company expects to fully recover the carrying amount of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report on the Quarterly and Year to Date Unaudited Standalone Financial Results of the Company Pursuant to the Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended

 

Review Report to

The Board of Directors

Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited

 

1.We have reviewed the accompanying “Statement of Unaudited Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December, 2024” (the “Statement”) of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited (the “Company”) attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirements of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (the “Listing Regulations”).

 

2.The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the Statement in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Indian Accounting Standard 34, (Ind AS 34) “Interim Financial Reporting” prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations. The Statement has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Statement based on our review.

 

3.We conducted our review of the Statement in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. This standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the Statement is free of material misstatement. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

4.Based on our review conducted as above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Statement, prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the aforesaid Indian Accounting Standards (‘Ind AS’) specified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 as amended, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of the Listing Regulations, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or that it contains any material misstatement.

Segmental capital employed

7The Board of Directors of the Company at their meeting held on 27 July 2024 have approved the sub-division/ split of each equity share having a face value of Rupees five each, fully paid-up, into five equity shares having a face value of Rupee One each, fully paid-up (the “stock split”), by alteration of the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association of the Company. Further, each American Depositary Share (ADS) of the Company will continue to represent one underlying equity share as at present and, therefore, the number of ADSs held by an American Depositary Receipt(ADR) holder would consequently increase in proportion to the increase in number of equity shares. On 12 September 2024, the approval of the shareholders of the Company was obtained through a postal ballot process with a requisite majority.

 

Consequently w.e.f. record date of 28 October 2024, the authorized share capital, the paid up share capital and the treasury shares were sub-divided into five equity shares having a face value of Rupee One each. As on 31 December 2024, the closing number of shares fully paid up and treasury shares were 834,423,960 and 1,302,980 respectively.

 

Post stock split, the number of each stock option vested and unvested and not exercised as on the record date were sub-divided into five options and the exercise price was proportionately adjusted.

 

The effect of stock split was considered in the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the quarter and nine months ended 31 December 2024 and prior periods have been restated considering face value of Rupee One each in accordance with Ind AS 33- "Earnings per Share" and rounded off to the nearest decimals.

 

8The Company considered the uncertainties relating to the escalation of conflict in the middle east, and duration of military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in assessing the recoverability of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. For this purpose, the Company considered internal and external sources of information up to the date of approval of these financial results. Based on its judgments, estimates and assumptions, the Company expects to fully recover the carrying amount of receivables, goodwill, intangible assets, investments and other assets. The Company will continue to closely monitor any material changes to future economic conditions.

 

9The Company received an anonymous complaint in September 2020, alleging that healthcare professionals in Ukraine and potentially in other countries were provided with improper payments by or on behalf of the Company in violation of U.S. anti-corruption laws, specifically the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Company disclosed the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and Securities Exchange Board of India. The Company engaged a U.S. law firm to conduct the investigation at the instruction of a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. On 06 July 2021, the Company received a subpoena from the SEC for the production of related documents, which were provided to the SEC.

 

The Company has continued to engage with the SEC and DOJ, including through submissions and presentations regarding the initial complaint and additional complaints relating to other markets, and in relation to its Global Compliance Framework, which includes enhancement initiatives undertaken by the Company, and the Company is complying with its listing obligations as it relates to updating the regulatory agencies. While the findings from the aforesaid investigations could result in government or regulatory enforcement actions against the Company in the United States and/or foreign jurisdictions and can also lead to civil and criminal sanctions under relevant laws, the outcomes, including liabilities, are not reasonably ascertainable at this time.
