Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. reported revenue of ₹8,382 cr for January to March 2025, +10.6% on the year and +5.1% on the quarter. It is the highest quarterly revenue in the last 8 quarters on record. Over the last four quarters revenue comes to ₹31,724 cr, +9.4% on the four before.
Operating profit (EBITDA) was ₹1,760 cr, a margin of 21.0%, −90 bps on the year and +122 bps on the quarter. Over the last 8 quarters the margin has ranged from 16.8% to 21.9%, averaging 20.2%. Operating costs grew +11.9%, faster than revenue at +10.6%, so operating profit grew less than sales.
Net profit was ₹903 cr, −0.4% on the year and +6.7% on the quarter, with earnings per share of ₹15.56. Profit before other income, one-offs and tax fell 1.3%, so the profit growth came from the business itself. The tax rate of 32% is in line with its recent average. Profit over the last four quarters totals ₹3,484 cr, +9.9% on the four before.
Pharma quarters swing with US generic launches and price erosion, while India formulations grow more steadily. Currency gains and other income can be material, so headline profit needs a check against operating profit. The quarterly statements do not carry the US and India split, R&D spend and any FDA observations; those come with the filing read.
On earnings per share of ₹59.88 over the last four quarters, the stock at ₹1,660.50 trades at 27.7 times trailing earnings.
