Bino Pathiparampil's questions to Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd (RDY) leadership • Q1 2026
Question
Bino Pathiparampil from Elara Capital asked for clarification on the significant decline in PSAI gross margins and the reason for the higher-than-usual other operating income.
Answer
CEO Erez Israeli explained the weak PSAI margin was an accounting effect related to cost allocation from lower internal sales for back-integrated products, stating the underlying API business is healthy and will correct in coming quarters. CFO M V Narasimham clarified that the higher other income included out-licensing income from their Origin business, which he noted is a regular part of their business, not a one-off event.
